Web Enquires Down this year
« on: March 03, 2013, 07:34:49 pm »
 looking at my stats one Website is down 60 % on Impressions on google for search terms for the website.

2jan 2012 to 3/3/2012 Impressions 15829
2/2/2012 to 3/3/2012 Impressions    6446

The Fact people arent searching for carpet cleaning is strange down more than half, the UK Gov need to start talking things up! Lucky i dont just count on the one form of marketing, but its just quiet for new customers!

How's you boys in the South finding web Enquires this year?

Maybe its the bloke near me Doing the £1 clean offer............ Get Two carpets cleaned the 3rd at £1.

Naw that doesnt affect the site am on about haha.

I dont know how you can gauge this one as there are too many variables.

Yeah sure, probably there are less people searching cos they have less money and it can wait, there is more competition and more people are having a go them smug selves with their QVC Bissell.

But the main influence on how many hits you get is what you have actively done yourself, so someone who has gone bonkers with their web marketing would think things are booming relatively speaking.
It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.

Web enquiries are rubbish ATM most my work more so than usual is old customers, I'm getting less calls from the web and less bookings also but old customers are up and recommends which is nice but you'd like to think the new technology thing would work also.

Bit it's changing all the time - I think keeping up to date is critical.

It is but seeing as My site in question is better ranked and the Numbers come from Google and the fact my other sites arent getting the calls they did last year from New customers, can only mean People finding it harder than last year.

Saying that Ive a six day week this week  ;) its not all about new customers
