Get More Leads – Advertise on the Web!
Search Engine Advertising – or “Paid Search” – is an auction-style method of paying for placement on the major Search Engines. You’re purchasing the right to have your website’s name and a brief advertising caption appear on Page One of Google, Yahoo, Bing, MSN, and Ask.com.
Pay Per Click Advertising
Why would you hire a phonebook company to get you premium ranking on Google? Trust the Web experts who know the Contracting Industries. More important, trust the Web experts who don’t require a contract! That’s how confident we are your phone will ring with new leads.
Key Benefits
- Guaranteed ‘page-one’ ranking – 21st Century yellow pages.
- Single platform gets you on all five major Search Engines.
- No contract term. You can cancel anytime.
- Phone & email tracking with phone call record feature.
- Target your specific audience with a zip code radius.
- More than 1000 pre-loaded keywords specific to your Contractor Industry.
Word of Mouth Advertising
For a low monthly flat-rate of just $182, our “Word-of-Mouth” advertising ensures people searching for your business find it quickly and easily. Your current clients want to hire you again. But they don’t have your phone number, and probably don’t remember how to spell your exact business name. Your task is to make sure they find you easily. Our “Word-of-Mouth” service does just that. We bid on variations of your business name – including misspellings and jumbled word variations – so people who search for you will be directed to your business, and not someone else’s.
Call us – we’ll explain, why ‘clicks’ don’t matter – phone calls do!
Make Sure Your Clients Can Find You!
A local search is any web search that includes a zip code, city, county, street or neighborhood. Local listings are the “map” section that Google and other search engines produce after a search. If your critical business information is missing, incorrect, incomplete, or poorly ranked you're losing business! We’ll help fix these problems!
Google Maps Optimization
The vast majority of Search Engine Optimization companies charge $BIG$ monthly fees regardless of performance. Not us. Your biggest risk with our Google Maps Optimization service is $428. That’s the cost to setup your account. Then we’ll work to optimize your listing. Only if we get you on Page One of Google Maps, will we earn a small, monthly “success fee.” There are many factors that affect the hours of work we dedicate to your optimization program (local geographic area and key search words are a few). Call us for a “success fee” quote.
Local Search Directory Submission
Our “Get Listed” service improves the chances that existing and potential customers will find you when they search for services in your local area. It’s a simple, low-cost way to distribute your accurate business information across a majority of the most popular local search directories; more than 50 in all.
Call us – we’ll explain, why Google Maps is one of the most important tools Property Owners use to find Contractors.
