Things to Do In & Around Lynchburg, VA

 

Small business is the backbone of our economy and small business is hurting. In 2009, I've committed to doing all I can to promote the businesses that make Central Virginia what it is. I've written a lot of posts on local businesses; nothing special, just a profile or an endorsement of their product or service. What is exciting to me:

These businesses are being contacted by the public & have new clients-because of my Activerain blog.

 

-A lady decided to buy a co-workers home and googled closing agency, lynchburg. She found my blog on Pioneer Closing Agency, called the owner and set up a closing. 

THE LADY READ MY BLOG WHILE WORKING IN IRAQ.

 

Google closing agency, Lynchburg and these are the first few results:

If you noticed, the second entry wasn't even about Pioneer, but Tom Hodges Insurance.

 

 

-Tom Hodges was contacted by a family who found him online and he wrote a policy for them. Tom told me that during a radio interview, the host googled him and asked about his website. Tom said I don't have one and the host said, well there you are- it was one of my posts!

Google  Tom Hodges, Lynchburg. Three of the first 10 results were from blogging:

Do you have large trees on your lot that you want removed but you're afraid it will be too expensive? I have a recommendation for you- give Aubrey Wood a call at 434- 239-7398. I've known Aubrey Wood and his family for over 17 years and he's been the person we call whenever we've needed tree service. We had two TALL pines in our yard that needed to be removed after a recent wind storm blew through. One was leaning against another tree in the direction of our neighbors home and we were afraid it would fall at any moment. Though Aubrey was busy with insurance work, he made the time to come out and removed the trees in in sections. It was fascinating to watch.

There were several huge trees blocking the view at our lake house. Most of them were close to the dock and walkway and we expected damage to both when the trees were taken down. We were pleasantly surprised that not only was there no damage,  all of the wood was stacked neatly and all the brush cleaned up.

For an estimate and great service, call Aubrey Wood at (434) 239-7398 H (434) 610-7704 C
