Can a website help them, yes. Especially, in a growing community. But, they won't die without one. Hair stylists are another one that comes to mind. But, if you are a designer, SEOer, SEMer, you could certainly gain some new clients by focusing on benefits such as listed above. Even build a local site where new comers would go. Optimize for the various service industries in your community and away you go. Hmm, gears are turning. We hit the first three. We do have a Facebook page, but I had a contest where visitors could earn free trades by joining us. At that time, none of our clients had a Facebook. :O) Although, I mostly agree with you, I do believe if a business is truly local only it can do fine without a website (ie car mechanics).
