First of all – how and where do I
It is very much like choosing the options on a car.First you choose why you want a car
Then you choose options that will make it “your” car
Then you choose how much you want to spend (labor is an expense)
Make your message local – the producers of product are already doing the national job – i.e. why would somoene want to be on your site?
