Innovative Site for Comparing Prices of Local Services LocalPrice.com...



Shopping for everyday services is about to get much easier. LocalPrice.com which launched today, is the first website comparing prices of locally provided services like: renting a limo, getting your teeth cleaned, or installing a home security system.



Pricing for products is widely available on the web. However, when shopping for a service, pricing is tough to find. If, for instance, you're looking for the price of renting a limo, installing a home security system, getting your teeth cleaned, or boarding your dog, good luck. Prices for services provided by local companies are generally not available online. Even getting a ball park price for many services requires significant time on the phone and may require meeting with a number of providers.



LocalPrice.com (http://www.localprice.com) allows online-shoppers to compare prices of locally provided services. Prices are presented in price grids that allow for side by side comparisons of each service provider. The site details specific services, pricing structures and contact information for each business. This information makes it ideal for visitors in the final stages of shopping or for beginners searching for a rough estimate of what a particular service might cost.



The site lists three initial categories of service: Metro Atlanta limo companies (http://www.localprice.com/atlanta/limos.html), Atlanta dentists (http://www.localprice.com/atlanta/dentists.html) and Atlanta home security (http://www.localprice.com/atlanta/homesecurity.html) system providers. Each category has been researched, edited and structured for ease of use by visitors shopping for services. Shoppers are able to get a rough estimate of what a service will cost from several service providers within a couple minutes of review. LocalPrice.com plans to introduce up to 100 more categories of services and expand beyond the Atlanta market in the future.



Atlanta services businesses are able to list their businesses for free on LocalPrice.com as long as they provide accurate and full pricing information for the services they offer. Businesses seeking new methods for driving traffic and sales are encouraged to submit their pricing information for listing on the site. LocalPrice.com also plans to offer these businesses opportunities for advertising to the LocalPrice.com audience.



LocalPrice.com's founder, Rob Shields, created the company after realizing how little pricing and rate information is available online for everyday services. He states, "If you want to find the best price for a book online, it's only a few clicks away. Our goal is to bring that same level of convenience to shoppers searching for, say, the price to move their apartment across town, an oil change close to work, or a certified day care center close to home."



Shields is an experienced entrepreneur who has been involved in Atlanta internet companies for more than 10 years. Before founding LocalPrice.com Shields was responsible for new products at CheckFree Services Corporation and worked for the Boston Consulting Group.



LocalPrice.com is an Atlanta-based, privately held startup founded in 2008.
