  I'M ALREADY WITH THE ONLINE YELLOW PAGES.
That's a good start, but your basic directory listing isn't optimized for search engines. Even if your listing does come up in Google, Yahoo, or MSN, where over 82% of users go, you will likely be so far down the list that your customers won't see you. What ZoomAdz Listing does is accentuate your products, services and location so that your business is optimized and gets higher ranking in the search engines, and your customers can find you much more easily and quickly.

  WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE A WEBSITE?
No problem. As part of the ZoomAdz Listing package, you'll receive your own Internet Profile Page. You decide what goes on it with a simple wizard; we do all the hosting and maintenance.

  HOW DOES MY BUSINESS GET LISTED FIRST?
Part of ZoomAdz Listing's engine is a patented methodology developed by PhDs specializing in search. This formula will ensure that your company profile is crawled, indexed, and ranks well with Google, Yahoo, and MSN search engines. No other online advertising agency has this technology built in, which is why no other agency can achieve the same results as ZoomAdz Listing.

  HOW DOES THIS HELP MY ONLINE EXPOSURE?
Search engines really want to know more about your business, however your current web site has a lot of other content, and design which doesn't allow computers to focus on your business. The ZoomAdz Listing profile page gives search engines the data they want, in a format they understand, allowing your business to zero in on the most relevant searches.

  WHY DO SEARCH COMPANIES THINK ABOUT THIS?
Search engines companies have crawlers to comb the internet, finding as much information as possible. Having the most information and relevant search results is crucial in keeping their users happy. ZoomAdz Listing insures that your business information, location, category, and keywords are exposed to yield optimal relevancy and consumer targeting. In contrast to many SEO agencies, our methods do not spam the search engines. Other online agencies may promise you top ranking, something which they cannot guarantee; furthermore their practice may ultimately be counted against you.

  WILL THIS AFFECT MY CURRENT WEBSITE?
Because the ZoomAdz Listing Business Profile page links over to your main web site, it will generally place higher in the search results. Part of the intelligence of search engines allows them to associate your domain as the primary website, and the ZoomAdz Listing reinforces your business reputation.

  HOW DOES THE LOCALIZATION WORK?
There are three ways in which your business is found. First: your customer types your specific city into their search (i.e. dentist in Anaheim). Second: the query term specifies the metropolitan areas which you cover. Third, and most important: is the proximity of your business address from the geographic location of the user. With our integrated mapping, your business will show up in "Google local", "Yahoo! local", and "MSN live" when the internet user is within a 50-100 mile radius from your address.

  IS THIS SEO, HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM SEO?
SEO Packages generally do the following:

  • Tune your content, meta tags and keywords
  • "Submit" your web page to the search engines or link farms.

While many SEO practices are good to apply towards your site, they do not position your business for local search. While many SEO packages are good, be very clear on what yours is doing. Steer clear of SEO software that "submits" your website to several areas. Why? Search engines consider automated submission as spam; they will devalue your site and potentially ban your site from their index.

ZoomAdz Listing focuses on publishing enhanced and valuable data about your businesses and then directly posts that information to search partners in order to establish and build your local authority in search.

  ANOTHER SEO COMPANY GUARANTEES TOP PLACEMENT, DO YOU?
Any company which claims to provide top placement in the mainstream search engines should be avoided. Nobody can guarantee top placement. Companies which make such bold statements have exploited some aspect of the ranking algorithm. Search engines consider these tactics as spam since it degrades their index. The major search engines continue to identify these unscrupulous strategies and will actually devalue or ban your website entirely from their index.

One illegal strategy which some SEO's perform is to emulate and automate searching and clicking behavior. Watch out! This is a form of click fraud. Even if the search engine doesn't detect this illicit activity, your competitor might. Anyone can report spam to Google.

ZoomAdz profile pages have organized content which are optimized for web crawlers. Your business profile page will organically build your online reputation by providing an independent, strong reference. Inbound links to your site are the best way to improve PageRank. In every case we increase ranking significantly, often to the two pages.

  HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET LISTED?
Once published, your find placement results within about 10 days on some search destinations and up to 60 days for others. Because data processing differs for each search engine, the turn-around time does vary. Once there, your ranking will continue to increase in time.
