New Online Resource Gives Kentuckians the 'Buzz' on Local Businesses and Professionals

LEXINGTON, Ky., Aug. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- KentuckyBizBuzz.com, a new online resource for Kentuckians, launched today. The site offers local consumers the inside "buzz" on more than 200,000 businesses and professionals throughout Kentucky.

KentuckyBizBuzz -- http://www.KentuckyBizBuzz.com -- features reviews written by local consumers that highlight the most trusted companies in Kentucky. Whether you're looking for a local auto mechanic, childcare provider, dentist, hairdresser or plumber, KentuckyBizBuzz is your best source for finding a business in Kentucky. The site already has more than 6,000 reviews of companies across the state, and consumers can easily see which ones have the best ratings.

KentuckyBizBuzz takes the guesswork out of choosing a local business or service. It also allows consumers to share their own experiences -- whether positive or negative. KentuckyBizBuzz carefully screens all reviews before they're posted to ensure they comply with the site's terms and conditions.

"We want all the reviews on KentuckyBizBuzz to be accurate, honest, and informative," said Ward Lassoe, president of KentuckyBizBuzz. "As more and more consumers turn to the Internet for information on local businesses and services, we want to provide Kentuckians with a reliable and credible online resource."

KentuckyBizBuzz also gives Kentucky businesses the opportunity to connect with potential customers and to provide in-depth information about their services. Every business in Kentucky gets a free listing on KentuckyBizBuzz that they can easily update or upgrade. By upgrading to a Premium Listing, businesses and services can provide additional information-- including a detailed business description, photographs and online coupons. Businesses with a Premium Listing can also post online responses to specific user reviews.

"KentuckyBizBuzz aims to connect Kentuckians with local businesses," said Lassoe. "Consumers can make informed decisions about businesses based on the reviews they read. Think of it as online word-of-mouth."

To encourage Kentucky consumers to share their opinions on local businesses and services, KentuckyBizBuzz is sponsoring a weekly $500 prize drawing.
