Just an update:
I think this has REALLY helped my local biz site. It took a couple weeks, but im ranking on the first page consistently for my keywords and even #1 for my main keyword. Ive done some other mild SEO stuff to my local site so can be 100% positive this did it all, but im sure it has helped tremendously cause I was NOWHERE to be found on google 3-4 weeks ago. Now, the question is, im i using the right keyword? lol If anyone wants to help me out with that that would be great.
Oh and THANK YOU, antx, YOU ARE THE MAN!!
