He keeps heckling me about setting up a website, but he is not convinced it will bring in leads and make sales. Obviously, it is a local market he is after, and I recommended PPC to start and wait on any time intensive natural SEO. Are there any resources which show user stats for his industry? Any hardcore data I can show him that will assuage his trepedation about jumping online? Meanwhile he is spending 1000/mo on 1-800-dentist. Its clear to me that a website is his best option, I need some data to prove it.
