This is the challenge we face at Market My Local Biz - small business owners do not believe their customers are searching for them in social media and internet search engines as much as they are. The truth is radically different from their perceptions:

eMarketer estimates that 127 million people in the US, or 57.5% of internet users, will use social networks at least monthly this year. Facebook alone has over half a billion active users worldwide. S

Small
business generates about 80% of the net new jobs in this country, yet
small business and business owners in general are vilified by the
government, by the press and by the entertainment industry. (When's the
last time you saw a business owner portrayed in a positive light in a
movie or on TV? Business owners are ...usually
portrayed as the "bad guys".) Yet, in all the talk about "stimulus",
and after two years of failed "stimulus" plans, the government only
recently decided to throw small business a bone by adding more SBA
funds. I and most other small business owners don't really care so much
about SBA loans, we just want an environment that is conducive to
creating more business. (if our business is growing, then we'll NEED to
hire more people) The environment that is most conducive to this is an
environment of less government and lower taxes. But with the huge
deficit spending that has gone on in the last several years, and the
massive deficits projected for the next few years (from both sides of
the political aisle) the environment has been harsh for small business
owners and most small business owners are just forced to stay pat (and
not hire more people) until the environment improves. This video
explains it a whole lot better than I can. :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exiaXd2BHdY

Geo-location and Facebook - a good combination for local businesses...

"But the greatest opportunity for geolocation apps could be for local
businesses, for which scale is less important than reaching the right
people to generate foot traffic. "This will be the biggest thing to
happen to local businesses since paid search," said Ian Schafer, CEO of
DeepFocus, which just launched specialty practice GEOFocus. "It enables
people to move in flocks or herds; you create waves of people."

Facebook is expected to launch location-based functionality, according to an exec with knowledge of Facebook's plans. Marketers will be allowed in soon after.
