NetBaldwin Unveils Local Search Service For Richmond Area Companies

Richmond.JustGetLocal.com Puts Google, Yahoo and MSN Within Reach

Richmond, Virginia (August 8, 2006) – NetBaldwin, LLC, one of the east coast’s leading Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Search Engine Marketing (SEM) firms, announced today that they are unveiling a new web service aimed at small and medium-sized businesses.

Being listed on Google, Yahoo, and MSN is critical to the success of any company. Without a website and large budget, many companies haven't been able to afford to use the Internet to reach buyers. Richmond.JustGetLocal.com, a new service being announced this week, will provide those businesses a place on the web for information such as operating hours and location, as well as an online map. More importantly, they will have access to local search services that offer unprecedented access to reach consumers who, even though they search the web extensively before buying, still make the majority of their purchases at local brick-and-mortar retailers.

“Richmond.JustGetLocal.com is currently in the testing phase,” said Laurie Baldwin, CEO of NetBaldwin. “As part of that testing phase, we’re offering the service free for a limited time. When fully operational, the cost will be considerably lower than if a business individually purchased the different services we’re offering.”

The service is being developed as part of a partnership with IMPAK Marketing, a Richmond direct marketing company that distributes Valpak and Reach Magazine and publishes Housetrends magazine.

“Many Richmond area companies don’t expect buyers from across the U.S.,” said Mike Meyer, President of IMPAK Marketing. “To be successful, they need to be found by people who search and then buy in Richmond. This service is designed for those companies.”

In addition to the benefit of a web presence and access to local search, subscribers to Richmond.JustGetLocal.com will also be able to utilize advanced Internet marketing strategies such as “paid search” at a significant discount.

Companies interested in being listed on Richmond.JustGetLocal.com should call
1-877-219-5182.
