I am not sure whether there is that one solution to address local search problem but it definately needs investment in terms of time and money. We are addressing the same problem here in the UK with http://www.DealsLocally.co.uk - a niche local directory and what we have found so far is that the best way to move more local businesses online is to do it face to face with lots of talking and even then it is not easy.
