That idea is already in the works. I have my businesses listed with two local Chamber of Commerce sites and there is a company in NW Arkansas that puts together a package to address the local community in such a way. I have not signed up for the latter because as a local business that requires more referral type customers our site is pretty static. We have a web presence but nothing special. Here is the thing, there is not one company that has figured out how to do this and leave everyone else in the dust. If you can, you will have a business as successful as Yahoo, Microsoft, and Google. If not, it will be just another option for people. Double B is right. That idea is already in the works.

It is a good idea and she is going for a smaller neighborhood based search, but a small business like mine that is run out of my home can be found on Google Local.
