We've gotten a few e-mails back on this topic - and I just want to clarify one point (and then we'll put a separate post about this topic by Monday). This clarification - The majority of small businesses in the United States do not have web sites (this may or may not be surprising). The article I wrote about local search is a way to get businesses listed for sure in local searches - whether they have a web presence or not! In other words, the searcher would find this business - with name, address, phone and other details of the business (hours of operation, for instance) - with or without a web site. I didn't make myself clear in the article - and that is why this is such important information, especially for small businesses that don't have a web presence (and for those that do!) My fault for not making this point better. Michael Benidt Hi Donna, Thanks for your comment.
