I'm with you Jay. I live in a small rural community as well and my work comes by word of mouth. I can't start something up locally as most people in town don't even believe people use the internet!!! This is probably where a thread on a forum has more value than a list. People could add their ideas to the thread and build the compelling reasons you and all of us are probably seeking.
I particularly loved one of them posted today, I think by Helen but forgive me if I'm wrong, about using the Web Developer extension in Firefox to remove all styling. I thought that was brilliant and really showed up some big flaws in some sites I tested. I had never used that before.
To some extent, one of the things it will come down to, like solicitors (wash my mouth out) and accountants it is all to do with the trust of your clients or potential clients. Present a good case that you are a professional, build the trust and always work on the basis of "do we really cost more or are the others worthless....I mean worth less".....
