Quote: This is slow, but these customers typically are looking to establish a presence in their local markets for niches that are not all that competitive (100K to 2 million result pages per keyword) and it works out pretty well for all concerned.

Absolutely to the point. I have also observed the same. In local markets you can sometimes rank on the first page with on-Site Optimization alone, if you have good relevant content. A few links from industry specific directories and regional directories would add to the ranking. For such (low competition) search terms the content from such directories often appears on the search results.
