I would apply Steve's SEO and marketing ideas directly to the owners and managers of the businesses who will directly benefit from your services. Where can you find people trying to benefit and gather such information for real business solutions? I think your going to find Local Chamber Of Commerce Meetings, BNI, and other such organizations that are pro business the most effective place to grow these new concepts of marketing. I also think you’ll find these places an incredibly rich environment to share these untapped new ideas and for the most part will not fall on deaf ears. Quite the opposite, I actually think you will find that these business owners will be aggressively looking for new ways to increase their traffic, their exposure, and of course the revenue for the businesses they run. Don’t you think these audiences will be much more receptive to these new SEO marketing ideas you are offering? Will, I would take it a step further than a seminar.

Hold a free seminar in regards to SEO and online marketing. Get ads in the newspaper or local magazines that are given out for free if you have any. Hold that free seminar to educate people on the benefits of SEO and online marketing. See how many new clients you will get out of it. I know times are hard right now for many small businesses, but I think the seminar would still work and get your name out to other local companies for future business.
