You have noticed it, haven’t you?

Old ways of growing your local business aren’t working so well anymore. Competition is heating up, and not just down the street but from companies all over the world through the Internet. The yellow pages, space ads, and Valpak ads aren’t getting any cheaper, but they aren’t producing the way the used to.

My name is Michael Cage. I’m passionate helping local business owners, and I believe they are getting the short end of the stick.

The local internet marketing opportunity

You see, there is no greater opportunity for your local business to grow than the strategic, effective use of online or Internet marketing.

But where do you go for advice?

If you look for “internet marketing experts” all you’ll find are a bunch of get-rich-quick scammers teaching strategies that, at best, won’t work in your local market … and, at worse, will actually damage your reputation and your profits.

Web designers can tell you about the latest web technology and design, but without understanding the unique marketing strategies that are a MUST for local web sites to work … the best they can produce is a web site that looks nice.

I started The Local Marketing Company to give proven tools and resources to local businesses that will let them leapfrog competitors, charge premium prices, and thrive in the face of increased competition in 2009 and beyond.

Be well,
Michael Cage
