You may get early indexing from SE's for the content, and you will also get eager visitors who might come back come launch day to see the actual business you are offering.

Especially if you offered ideas for those companies that don't necessarily have money or connections. A "real starting from scratch" approach...who to connect with, how to get your name out there, what things are important and what resources are most helpful. There are so many marketing tools that are just gimmicks to suck your money; someone that had experience like yourself could provide some valuable insights I am sure!
