Hi All
Touch Local have been pestering me for a while - told the guy to put the deal in writing (see below)
Key benefit for me would be good google exposure - if it works. They guarantee 400 hits. Would need to convert 4 leads to jobs (av job value= £112.34) to pay for ad.
Your views would be appreciated......
Hi Mervyn,
It was good talking with you earlier.
As promised, please find below and attached an overview of the features and benefits of advertising with TouchLocal.
- Each month touchlocal.com commands over 3.5 million visitors, 8 million page views, and connects over 4 million buyers and sellers. We have a proven model for guaranteeing potential leads to local businesses, and this is available from as little as (£7.67 per week here)
- Touch LeadFinder gives your business your own dedicated business profile, which is best compared to a mini web page. In here you can include a wealth of information on your business, including:
ü Company photo/logo, and an image gallery of your businesses products and services
ü 6 relevant keywords that will get your profile recognised across major search engines
ü Business address
ü Direct link to your website, and the facility for customers to email you directly
ü Your own online blog so you can keep new and existing customers aware of new developments
ü Map that pinpoints your business location
ü Facility to add, amend and remove special offers as you choose
ü Online editing and reporting for your business, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
ü Statistical reports that you can access any time, so you know exactly how your advertising is performing
And all of the above features are prominently positioned on touchlocal.com for search results relevant to your business, as well as targeted traffic from major search engines, including Google. And what’s more, unlike directory advertising, where your advert is published without changes for a full 12 months, you can log-in to your profile at any time, make updates and add special offers, new images and blog content to ensure that you are displaying all the necessary information to drive more and more customers to your business, day-in, day-out.
Our LeadFinder package, with all of the benefits listed, starts from only £399 + VAT (or £7.67 per week) for a minimum of 400 customers viewing your business profile. Initially, only a 10% deposit is required to secure this package, with 9 additional interest free payments.
Should you have any questions regarding any of the above then please don't hesitate to contact me.
I look forward to speaking to you again.

Personally I wouldn't touch "Touch Local" with a barge pole.
There is no way they can back those figures up.
You could spend half that money on a decent website and actually market to the areas you want to attract clients from. Also , most of the other things they are offering you can do free of charge yourself once you have your own site.
If they are anything like Customer Street then the next phone call they make to you will be about 3 months after you have signed up with them, telling you they can do you a great deal on a website for £600 + vat !

Your site isn't shown on your profile - post your site address on here and I am sure some of the web savvy guys on here can give their opinions on why it may not be producing the results you would like.
Also, put your site in your signature like mine are, all helps.
