BlitzLocal from bringing new leads to your business

For those who don't know, I am an analyst at BlitzLocal. We specialize in getting traffic from search engines to local services businesses. So that means dentists, plumbers, attorneys, doctors, and basically anyone who is in the phone book. Many of the folks here worked at Google and Yahoo-- and during their time there, learned a bit about showing up local search terms.

I am amazed at the opportunity that is available to help small businesses get found online. There are supposedly 1 million small business websites in the United States, but less than half of them have even begun getting traffic from Google and Yahoo. Their site design may look great, but they must also get people to their website. So they need to show up in search results when people type in a geographic and category term--- for example, "Boulder dentist".

Check out blitzlocal.com and let me know what you think!
