Having an online presence for your local business increases your visibility and professional look. This type of site may already be an offline business, or it may be a completely online business with a local focus.

It maybe that you don't actually sell goods, but the site provides a local service and sells advertising locally.

Marketing your site will be focused on offline local advertising like newspapers, flyers and perhaps media like radio and local TV spots, but there will probably be many local web sites that you can try to get your site listed in also.

Your site may need to be e-commerce enabled depending upon it's focus.
