Advertise Your Local Business Online
Dear Business owner,
Advertising your local business on the internet is easier than you think. Listed below are options available to you. Some of the advertising platforms we've listed like Yahoo Local and Superpages do not require a website. Google Base does not require a website but it does require you have a Gmail account. Currently the only way to get a Google Gmail account is by invitation.
We have plenty of invitations to give and will gladly invite anyone who emails us.
Our business is placing small businesses on all the available local search databases. We evaluate what your local competition is doing and do our best to place you ahead of them in the search listings. Our (daily) analysis of your competition's online campaigns allows us to keep your business one step ahead of them.

"It's the electronic version of grass-roots marketing," said Chris Arnold, a spokesman for Denver-based Chipotle Mexican Grill, which launched its MySpace profile this month." AZCentral
