Hi All
I am really interested to know whether anyone is getting any enquiries from their mini sites or NWC. Personally I think it is a great idea, not cheap at all and not something I have ever thought amount.
They do say 'you get what you paid for'...
I really hope it works but just really interested to see if it is bringing in leads and enquiries?
If it is working there must be loads of money to be made out of other trades or services, think of all the other forums!
Just a thought!

Yes,
And I'm cleaning in on friday. Very nice job.

Hi,
I've got two mini-sites for myself in Cardiff and have received two enquiries over the last month from them.
Quite interesting...or you may find this a bit geeky...a lot of the mini-sites are now overtaking some of our members existing sites in the search engine results. My residential mini-site for Cardiff is now No.2 above my windowcleanercardiff.co.uk site which I have had for about a year and has had quite a bit of SEO done to it.
Our service is not aimed at being the sole source of window cleaning enquiries for any business, it is just another form of advertising for anyone who is interested.
Cheers,
Huw

I've had 2.

wow your all going to be rich ;D ;D ;D NOT LOL

Mark its about getting your company profile out there
-
company profile ;D stop your killing me ;D ive picked up 32 jobs since the start of the year just by being a good, honest, polite window cleaner, its amazing how many on here have to make window cleaning so much hard work, stop worrying about "company profile" and just do a good job, work will follow just as night follows day.
-
No, nothing whats so ever has come through, all enquires are coming from my own web site.
I will say my mini site is the middle of page 1 on google search and bottom of page 1 on yahoo search.

I'm pretty sure Willis runs/owns some mahoosive cleaning company; probably makes most of us look very micky mouse; he'd be a guy to listen to, rather than put down.

tosh iam not putting him down iam just saying that somtimes on here people forget what its all about. on this site it all how big we are. i rely on good customer service, i always have time for a quick chat with the old customers, i ring or text ahead when needed, i dont bin them if there on holiday and they "dont want them doing this month". iam just the guy that cleans the windows iam not that important in there day to day lives. but i make sure i do a very good job at a good price, doing this alone brings in work. we all know that if we employ people getting them to do the work as well as you do is nigh on impossible. ive had several guys work for me but the thing that is differant between us is that they dont care about it as much as i do. and this is where the big companies fall down. they lack the personal touch. is just all about profit. maybe iam wrong in my thinking. but if its not broken iam not going to try to fix it ;)

michael willis ,
not wanting to be rude mate but just looked back on your posts and i have seen that you bought 14 minisites off NWC domestic and
commercial :o :o , i darent ask how much that has and will cost you. If you are keen on marketing your company profile properly why are
you not using that money in marketing your own website and getting an SEO person yourself to get you up the organic listings in these
areas cos you will do a hell of a lot better doing this for the same or probably less money and customers seeing your website rather than an
insert on a national directory.

I have done £250k of quotes
none from NWC though ;D

Not looking too good on the enquiry side then but it is early days.
I really hope it does work as people are spending a lot on it and would be good to get a decent return on the old marketing!

Doomed to failure I'm sorry to say, a complete and utter waste of your hard earned.

Hi All
Sorry for the lack of info, i have been in hospital having my appendix out!! NOT FUN NOT ONE BIT!!
Since 1st of Jan we have had just shy of 500 customers login to the site but 64% of the have been wasted leads as we don't yet have a contractor covering that area.
We have noticed that some members have had one or two leads some none and one ten, we cant make people want to get the windows cleaned and pick us we can only put the websites in the best places to make them get in contact.
The website as a home page which will be the main tool to get leads in the future is moving up the rankings all the time and all mini sites are making there way to the first page of google,most the top half and some are already at position 1
As mentioned before we will keep working away at this to make it a brand the jo public think of when they are looking for a local window cleaner.......
