Small sites for off-line local trades

1 replies
Does anybody here successfully market small info sites to local tradesmen? I am not thinking big markets like plumbers and electricians, rather, smaller trades like carpet fitting or mobile hairdressing where there will be 5 or 6 in a small town.

I would register a site, e.g. "townnamecarpetfitters.com", set up a simple 5 page or less template, and optimise it for 1st place SERP - competition for the term will be negligible and this shouldn't be hard. Then I will offer a 6 or 12 month rental of the site.

Is this feasible? What price point would you offer this at? Relatively low, but there is a lot of scope to scale up with several sites. If it's the right price, I figure with only a few businesses in the market, one will take it rather than let their competition have it. The only expense to me is the domain reg and some shared hosting, and a little time.
