The software is called PlaceLocal, and amazingly, yes, it is automated and can make online advertising much cheaper and accessible for businesses and entrepreneurs alike. If you are in business for yourself from home, this can be a way to help you get the word out online, for much less money.
Let’s say for instance you are a restaurant owner and you approaches an advertising firm to put out Internet banner ads for your restaurant.
