Just had a text message from Yellow Pages, after telling them that i did not want to do business with them anymore, i have just had a text message from them offering a free website guaranteed to be on the first page of Google if i sign for next book. Still not going to bother tho, they must be struggling big time.

[Daria Taylor]

Good on you. I dont know how any company can guarantee website to be on first page of google., as its completelly out o their hands. thats just why i cant stand yellow pages they will tell you anyting to get you in with them.

[daysdeepclean]

[Daria Taylor]

yeah they told us same when they first rang, i just said we can afford it, so they come up with 100's of options and discounts.and we still didnt go for it.

[daysdeepclean]

I was told not to go for a full page ad because I would not be able to cope with the work load it would generate

Must say up o about 5 years ago y pages was a great medium for pulling in work and at one point i did have a good size advert that brought me work and at least 4 or 5 calls a day ...

[daysdeepclean]

When I worked for a C/C he got loads of work from YP too, that was going back to only 2002! That's why I thought it was a must to have have an ad in YP!

Every one seems to Google everything nowadays and this is what's taken YP's place I believe....

[Daria Taylor]

yeah thats true, internet taken over many things, still though many of elderly people cannot use computer, therefore paper directories are much better.

you carpet cleaners really need to think outside the box.

you can guarantee 1st page Google! With PPC

you think that a company that is going down like Yelow pages is not going to try anything new, your wrong.

[APPLEMAIDCLEANING]

For what they charge for a 1/4 or 1/8 page i got full page in BT Phone Book

And they use to be part of the same group!!!

They have started a new thing! SEO on your yell.com page, still we have nothing 

[MAX Carpets]

Well, I'm going back in the directory this year, first time in four years. Got the buy one get one free, plus free web page. I still think the directory is a bit of a must, bloody lot of money though. Still down to £4500 +vat from the 13K I used to spend!

[derek west]

times have changed in 4 years emclean. i'd have a rethink. or at least a bloody good think before you spend that much, what could you do with that money if you didn't go in, an excellent leaflet campaign, or a good run in your local paper. or even better a top notch website seo'd to goodness gracious me.
but if your confident then i hope you have more luck than me. good luck skipper.

thats not SEO, thats just allowing additional info about your company.

The main page you want majorly SEO'd is your home/index page of your website.

Yell.com cannot offer this and you will always be competing with other cleaners in your category.

Least with online search engine the more you are listed on free directories providing natural direct non reciprocal links to your website, and the better SEO'd you site is the better placement on google you will have.

I get all my web action via my website - i choose to have yell.com this year to back up the professionalism as in yesteryear yell.com was the place to look for professional trades, not dodgy guys with slick websites pretending to be professional.
