Groundhog Day Heralds Auspicious Opportunity for Local Businesses

Designed and built as an affordable online business marketing package, LocalSitesFor.com levels the playing field allowing local businesses to compete for search engine placement with national companies that operate in their market.

Portland, Oregon (PRWEB) February 2, 2007 -- As millions of Americans move from the traditional, but increasingly obsolete, paper based yellow page directories to online searches, many local businesses are hunting for an affordable and effective Internet solution.

When LocalSitesFor.com pokes its head out of cyberspace today there is no question that it will be heralding an early spring for many businesses who either need a boost onto the Internet, or who need a serious accelerator for their existing website. The aim of www.LocalSitesFor.com is not merely to provide a business listing, but rather to offer businesses an opportunity to get in front of their customers who are looking for local businesses to service their wants and needs.

Designed and built as an affordable online business marketing package, LocalSitesFor.com will allow local businesses to compete for search engine placement with national companies that operate in their market. Approximately 63% of all Internet users searched for something local in 2006. This represented a 43% increase over the same period in 2005, and the trend shows no signs of slowing down.

When asked what makes LocalSitesFor.com different from the many Internet business listing services already in existence the company's CEO Kelly Hodsdon replied, "Well to begin with this is not merely a business listing. LocalSitesFor.com customers don't just get their business listed, but their products and services information is automatically formatted, optimized and syndicated in the ways the search engines like. All easily accomplished by simply filling out a questionnaire." He went on to say, "The icing on the cake is that they won't just get one business listing, but instead their business and related information will be syndicated across some of the top business listing directories on the Internet including Google Local, Yahoo! Local, SuperPages.com, YP.net and hundreds of other directories and listing services. This methodology is based on a concept we have dubbed search engine saturation - the art of your business showing up no matter where or how searchers try to find you."

Businesses will be able to choose from two options at LocalSitesFor.com. The basic package provides all the features that Hodsdon mentioned above. A second package will include a company blog, e-mail list management, and a newsletter in addition to the basic package features.
