Hi

149+ doesnt sound like much for a listing.  I guess if you want to calculate value you should consider how well thier site lists for things your customers would type.

eg in google does it appear 1-3 for carpet cleaning/cleaners/cleaner [your city] ?

They usually say they will bring you business, but if they appear in irrelavent searches, users will not call you. For eaxmple, in glasgow, they appear @ position 10. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=carpet+cleaning+glasgow  so i think at least where im standing, 149 isnt a good investment considering the revenue generated by the number 1 spot. If you would like to discuss better options, feel free to email me.

But its not a great deal of money and its tax deductable so ...

Hi,

Basically, its a waste of money as your driving your potential customers to a big list of carpet cleaners through a cumbersome interface.

It would be much better to have them land on your site that screams phone you (and only you).

That said, its a pretty small investment and you would only need to jobs to cover the cost.
