The Contractor
Website Package
So what do I get for my $1,297
Register a domain name. We use GODADDY.com and it cost $10.19 for 1 year.
You get a custom 5 page
Contractors Website. You choose the colors and general layout
you want and we do the rest. We do a keyword search on Keyword
Elite a fast, reliable, proven, piece of software.
Then we build you a custom 5 page website, complete
with FREE HOSTING for 6 months, (most customers pay just $10
per month after that). You email us the text and any
pictures to include, we run a spell check, insert a few
keywords where appropriate and load your site to the internet.
You get 50 mb of space and 1,000mb of bandwidth,
unlimited email accounts and more. More than enough for most small
and mid sized contractors websites.
Of course there is a 100% Satisfaction
Guarentee. If we can't build a site that meets our
criteria and your expexctations, you don't pay.
How will customers find my
contractors website?
1. Search word optimization. We
make the site friendly to the words your customers are looking
for.
Google "plumber your hometown", or whatever you
do, if you live in a big market the site that came up first
probably cost thousands of dollars and needs to be constantly
maintained. That's the price you have to pay if you want show
up on the first couple of pages on just about anything in a major
market.
But if you live in a smaller market search
word optimization can get you listed on the first page.
You can get loads of customers who are looking for your
service, in your market, for a very low cost.
2. Pay per click advertising. It's
quick and easy to set up an account at the only 3 search engines
that matter. I read recently that Google is 2x bigger than Yahoo,
Yahoo is 2x bigger than MSN and MSN is 2x bigger than everyone else
combined.
I use pay per click (PPC) during my
season and it works great. Last year when I was
reducing the size of my Yellow Page Ad, the Sales Rep asked
if I was interested in PPC advertising. Of course I was eager
to find out what he had. Boy was I disappointed.
He offered to sell me a very important keyword for
only $5 per click. I was buying the same keyword on Google for
about a buck. Turns out they buy from Google mark it up and resell
it to you. Learn more about the right way to use Yellow
Pages advertising in our free report.
Don't worry, we will show you how to
set up a PPC advertising program and make it work
with almost no effort.
3. Directory submission. We submit
to 3 directories. Remember, google=2x yahoo=2x msn=2x everybody
else. You can submit to local directories and others as a way to
build links and gain prominence, but the Big 3 will drive most of
the search traffic.
4. Direct search. Probably
the number one reason you need to have your business online
now. Believe me when you drop off an estimate to a new
customer most are going to search your name right away. If you run
"Mikes Plumbing" in "most towns USA" and they search in any
of the big 3, you better show up. If they have your web
address and type it in you need a effective pre-selling
website to help get that customer.
This is by far the most cost effective
advertising I have ever found! No website? You don't exist
to millions of people who want your product or service. You might
as well be throwing dollars out he window.
Do you only do contractor
websites?
No, we build sites for any type of small business.
We just happen to have more experience in making a contractor
website perform.
What do your sites look like?
PerfectSealer.com is
my company site. I've had it for several years but I rebuilt
it a while a go using the easy to
follow XSITEPRO
instructions and it performed much better. This site was built by
the same software.
There is a basic structure common on all
sites, we follow that but allow you to customize it to your
specific likes and dislikes. As I said before fancy
grahics and high tech gizmo's aren't what you need.
Easy navigation, clean look, search
engine optimized, and effective function will make your
website perform, and increase your business!
How did you get into building
websites?
My business runs from May through October,
depending on the weather. I was looking for something to keep the
office busy during the off season and this idea came up after a
brainstorming session.
