Q: What are other features of contractor marketing on the internet?

A: Other internet marketing techniques include e-mail marketing, PPC advertising (key word buys in Google or Yahoo), flash and other multimedia presentations , internet press releases, banner ad campaigns. A fast, affordable marketing technique is our Local Directory Marketing service. We will make sure that your business information is submitted to Google Local and Yahoo Local, to ShopLocal and many other legitimate, local online directories and Yellow Pages.

Q: I have a listing in a on-line contractor directory or online yellow pages, isn’t that enough?

A: No, for two reasons.

One: The majority of web users depend on the organic results - those search results that appear in the middle of the page. Research shows that as many as 80% of users ignore everything but organic results.

Two: The major search engines operate based on very complex algorithms that essentially estimate the applicability of a web page to a particular key word. These formulas are constantly being modified to provide more accurate search results. Current trends towards localization suggest that the “directory traps” will lose position as more geographically accurate listings are added
( UPDATE: this is exactly what happened, the link directory pages have largely been dropped by the major search engines, though legitimate local directories such as Yahoo and Google Local have taken on increased importance - which is why we now offer a ‘directory listing service’ at $299- we will get your local business data included in over 90 online business directories ).

Q: I have a website already, why would I want to work with contractor internet marketing .com? 

A: We work with companies that have existing websites that do not score well in search engines for important key words, key phrases or specific geographical locations. In some cases we can provide the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) information to get your existing site top rank.

We also work with many contracting companies to develop secondary websites - built to score highly in the search engines for specific marketing purposes. These small sites can focus on particular products, geographic markets or services. Many manufacturing companies, government organizations and large service companies have multiple websites. There is no rule that says you can only have one website.
