Build an Effective Local Business Site with Site Build It!

How a Local Business Site Can Help YOUR Business

These are some of the ways an effective website can help to promote and grow your local business:

  • Improving productivity: Fewer questions for your employees to answer, because you can provide detailed explanations about your products and services on your site.
  • Your site will be available 24/7/365... even when you're on vacation! You are not restricted to regular office hours when marketing your local business online.
  • Follow-up marketing: Use marketing tools and resources like a newsletter and autoresponders, to maintain regular contact with your clients and subscribers. Building trust and rapport through regular contact will encourage them to trust your advice and use your services.

Why Use Site Build It! for Your Local Business Site?

Watch this video from a business owner, explaining how Site Build It (SBI!) has helped her to market her business online:



Don't Just Build a Website, Build a Business

For many local business owners, their website is a basic online brochure, built to advertise their products and services, but it rarely gets found...

I've heard the sad stories directly from many local business owners, about the high costs of developing their very atrractive brochure websites, but their sites don't get much traffic, to bring them new clients.

Others pay for cheap hosting, then incur extra costs for "upsells" and additional tools and resources to get results from their website & online marketing efforts.

What's the Difference, with SBI!?

With SBI!, your local business site doesn't have to be like that. It doesn't need to be just a recurring advertising expense. Your SBI! site can actually become an asset and help you to generate other sources of income for your business! Read some of the SBI! success stories here.

SiteSell's Results Challenge...

Back in 2004, SiteSell threw down a challenge, and a prize of $5,000.00, to anyone who could provide proof of a better track record of success than SiteSell's results page. Just proof of an existing page, from another small business hosting company, showing better results.

No one claimed that $5,000.00 prize...

There have been significant improvements to SBI! since then.

Other Benefits with SBI!

As an SBI! owner, you will also get:

Ease of Mind about the Operating Costs for Your Local Business Site

  • There have been many significant new additions and regular updates to SBI! in the last few years, but the annual SBI! subscription hasn't changed for almost 5 years. The last price adjustment SiteSell did was to lower the price by $100, not raise it. They don't do upgrades and additions then ask you to fork over more of your hard-earned cash to gain access to the new & improved versions. The annual subscription for SBI! is US$299, which works out to less than $25 per month. There is only one (optional) module called Content 2.0 that requires a separate subscription.


  • There are over 50 special modules (valued at over $5,000.00 if purchased separately) already built into SBI!, including a newsletter service and a 7-part autoresponder system, to help with follow-up marketing for your business.

Access to the Private SBI! Forums

  • The SBI! forums are very active, and work on a "help and be helped" philosophy. See, SBI! attracts success-minded people with diverse talents and skills. They take the time to lend a helping hand and moral support to other SBIers when they have a question or problem. I like that...


  • There are also specially designated forums for Local Offline Businesses and Service Sellers, to share marketing tips and ideas. I volunteer as a moderator for 3 forums, including the one for Local Offline Businesses, so I keep an eye on the posts made there. :-)

Access to the Private SBI! Tips and Techniques Headquarters (TNT HQ) Exclusively for SBI! Owners

  • You will discover many useful tips in the TNT HQ to build and market your local business. There's a special section called the Local Business Reference Series, to help with the unique issues of marketing a local business online.


  • The Monetization HQ identifies a diverse range of income-generating ideas to explore!

Many SBI! owners have stated that getting access to these special tools and resources SiteSell offers is worth the $299 cost of SBI! alone. Traditional web hosting services do not provide tools and resources like these, especially for building and marketing a local business. You would need to get the information eleswhere.

SiteSell keeps up to date with all the latest trends and developments for building and marketing a business online... so when you use SBI!, you won't need to to worry about that. You can keep your focus on running your business, to get the edge on your local competitors, not trying to stay up to date with the latest online marketing trends.
