Windshield Repair Forum

Curious, has anyone has recieved calls and or completed jobs yet?

Nothing....no phone calls or e-mail!

Not I...

Hey guys i think it will take a while for the site to rank up high enough on google bling and yahoo for customers to find just give it time its like fishing

I just did a search: "windshield repair, City, State" and found my addv. on the 4th page.. Even some of the copy paste web server sites were listing on the first few pages..
I do not know anything on how to get closer to the top search pages, maybe someone that does their own pages could give a heads up.

QUESTION: Does just clicking on the web page give them more hits / views to move them up the line?

As soon as I can figure out how to put a page together and figure out how to get it running, I will have my own site working also. In the mean time Yahoo does great with the 5 stars and customers leaving feed back reviews... That is how I get my called from the ones using the web...

I think Jason has a good point here. I'm signing up.

I just signed up. I saw the notice in this month's AGRR magazine.

Thanks. It is taking longer than expected to populate the site, but there are technicians from nearly every state signed up now. We are seeing an increase in page rank in some areas and increased traffic in nearly all areas.

In reading some of the other posts in this thread I think it's important for everyone to understand something about windshieldreferral.com. Unlike similar sites, we don't charge anything to list your company and we allow you to post your telephone number and e-mail address, so although we can see that people are finding the site and clicking on your ads, we have no way to know how many are actually contacting you. A few windshieldreferral.com users do a very good job of tracking how customers found out about them, but the vast majority do not put any effort into tracking this information so they have no idea if the site is helping them or not.

If we were to have all calls come through our call center or e-mail address we could track this information for you and provide stats that would likely surprise you, but then we would have to become like everyone else and charge for the listing. We wanted to be different and provide a FREE site for you to advertise on, and one specifically for windshield repair technicians. As more people sign up the site will become more popular with search engines, but because we don't charge we cannot put a lot of money into pay per click advertising for the site. In a nutshell this means that we did not expect the site to be an overnight success, but one of many tools that you can use to help drive business to your company, and one of the few that you can get for FREE. Again, we know the traffic to the site has increased dramatically so your ads "are" being viewed, but it's up to you to make your ad appealing to your customers, track how your customers are finding you, and close the deal when they contact you. It certainly can do you no harm to have an extra FREE ad for your business on the Internet.

Take a look at Glasstime's ad in Bessemer City. He did a nice job with his logo and description of his company, and has gotten customers to rate their experience. His ad will, and has, gotten him more calls than an ad with no logo, a poor business description and no experience rating or testimonials from customers.

Over 480 listings and growing.

Thank you guys for setting this up for us!
