I remember Chris Straker raving about it, might be worth asking on CLeentalk.

I get some good results on 'best of' but not for carpet cleaning, for the other side of my business.

It does dramatically improve your google listings and is a relatively cheap way of doing this.

Hope this helps.

i dont get any results on it, wont be renewing, waste of money.  in my opinion people only look for carpet cleaners when they need them so then they go to phonebook, yellow pages etc.

I don't advertise with these people, but are will be doing so,

with respect, if something works for one person it will work for others. its sometimes hard to look at oneself and see that you are doing something that is wrong.

it might be your copy or your offer. don't forget when you advertise in the same place as others in the same business you have to give prospects a reason to buy from you.

you have nothing to lose but the experiment with it.

the judge of what works and what does not is the customer. not us. its just a mater of finding the right message to market match.

Look at what Chris is doing with his, and talk to him, and you will see why it works for him and not you. he has learned the art of PR and this has given him a USP.

Good luck

Respect
