> Google and Yahoo are developing local search engines. In the future, no matter where you are in the world, all you'll have to do is enter your address and a business type and Google or Yahoo will return a list of businesses closest to you.
> Some of your potential customers will already be using the search engines to find your local business. For example, if you are a real estate agent in Perth, Australia, some of your potential customers will be using Google to find "real estate agent in Perth Australia".

> A website is by far the most effective and inexpensive way to manage a growing customer database. Web forms make it easy to capture client's data and e-mail management systems make it easy to send personalized e-mail.
> A website can save a lot of time and money by including frequently asked questions and giving the customer the ability to pay via credit card, thus reducing the manpower needed to service your clients.
