I have had 4 emails today and 5 calls. A good day but not unusual for the start of a working week.

Big area covered and a local site for each area.

You are obviously looking quite hard at your internet at the moment Shaun. Do most of your web enquireys come from your home town?

Most are Sheffield based but this is the biggest place in South Yorks regarding % of people but do get a few from surrounding areas.

I'm desperately trying to get the web to work but it's hard going even with 2 web sites.

Shaun when I search 'Sheffield carpet cleaning' on Google I don't see you anywhere, a good website is useless if potential customers can't find it, have you thought about sponsored listings

Post by: mark_roberts on May 07, 2008, 10:17:42 pm

Dont have a web site so no jobs from that but did get a job this week from accessplace.com.  Never knew I was on it and no idea how on earth the customer found me on it as I couldnt find me.

Interesting the internet is working better than yellow pages for some of you.

Simon,

Get link machine bolted on to your site and then set aside an evening to read and learn about it, sponsored links are a waste of money IMO
