I do some dirt cheap advertising in a geographically defined area (also remodeling) that seems to work well. But I'm interested in doing 100% woodworking and am only about half way there. No job is more than 15 minutes away, which is a big plus in terms of travel time and expense ($2.99 a gallon locally.)
I've pondered a website but it's the search criteria that would bring local people to my site that was what caused me to decide against it until now. The guy I'm talking to says there are ways to bring your website closer to the top on google searches which may solve that issue. And the area I live in is all houses built before 1920-30 and most have boiler heat, meaning radiators. And they all have extensive quality woodworking features inside.
I've googled "wooden radiator enclosures" and there aren't many around - nearest one is over 300 miles away. So with all these factors I think I may be on to something. I spent most of my life in industrial sales so I've got a good handle on the sales part of it.
So I'm looking for input/ideas from those that have gone down this road.

I just did some work for a guy who's a website developer and he has more things to do, so we were talking about a trade of services, and my possibly starting a website.I get about 50 visits to my site a day + my local work, some people get more. Some of you don't have sites but may be 20 miles away from the person that contacted me from across the country.
