Hope for Local Businesses: A Greater Town

Slowly, over a 3 year development process, a small internet start up appears to be ready to go big. Through A Greater Town, communities small and large are embracing what could be construed as the internet's version of the "Fireside Chat". Once a town becomes part of the AGT community businesses can advertise, local events and calendars can be posted. Local news feeds and directional mapping also come into play.

Essentially, a go to page for your local community that feeds comprehensive facts and important town specific information includuing allowing business to not only advertise their business but become search engine optimized at the same time.

This appears to be the first site that combines all the essential elements of information feeds for a specific geographical location and allows local businesses to let folks know they're just down the street ready to do business. AGT's short term goal is to be in every township in America by 2013, going international shortly thereafter.

Here is an example of a typical township page. This is only a small cross section of the actual information available at the click of a link. 

The potential for local business is extraordinary. Please take a look at what AGT can do to increase the bottom line.
