I realize that getting the potential user to actually pick up the phone and make the call is an issue - perhaps some kind of hit counter?
Your area, define close... Closest we have is Crestline, but its a monster tower, 2 miles away from the TV tower. I have been trying to buy a tower just outside of Iola for a couple of years now, but can't get the owner to budge right now. Contacting other WISPS close. To be honest that has worked with mixed reviews. Many WISPS can't seem to put together a web page that has a lot of information, lacking things like WHERE THE HECK THEY ARE, area code on the telephone number or just giving out an 800 number, or having the only contact information being tech support which may or may not be the decision maker. I really don't understand why any wireless provider does not include a coverage map on their page... But I digress. I also don't want to be percieved as spam. I get lots of spam, and certainly don't want to be labeled it. Thanks for the ideas though. Don't take your organs to heaven, heaven knows we need them down here!
