Free Business Listings
LocalHomeTown.com allows businesses to post a free business listing on the site in addition to the directory
listings already found. Businesses that post a free business listing receive a personalized web address that
allows the business to post it's name, contact information, description and a personalized image. These
free business listings expose business owners to the over 1 million monthly visitors who currently visit
LocalHomeTown.com.

Connecting Businesses to Each Other
In addition to connecting consumers to businesses, LocalHomeTown.com also allows businesses to connect to
each other. When a user registers her business and set ups her personal business listing profile page,
the user is allowed to link to other businesses registered on LocalHomeTown.com. As an example, an accountant
may register her business on LocalHomeTown.com. From her business' profile page, the user may then link to
other businesses she works with, patronizes or simply recommends. And other business owners are able to
link to her business profile page.
By linking to each other, businesses can create a community of local businesses that are respected and
recommended by their peers. This enables consumers to find other goods and services recommended by
businesses they like.
