It has been a while in coming but I finally got the essentials written down in a 25 page ebook for anyone who would like to have this eBook to help you make decisions about what is the best path for you to take on your business website. You can view it via this link. This is for anyone who...

I have to confess that this is the usual "Google is morphing again" scenario that is really tough to keep up with. At the moment, the deal with HA is to allow people to book an appointment directly via the Google Business profile that comes up in search, so yes, anyone who does not have an HA...

I was unfamiliar that HomeAdvisor was offering this (but the librarian in me went to work researching it), and only was aware of it as a way to rate various services (one of my clients is collecting reviews there). The review and rating service, that costs nothing as far as I know if you claim...

It's great when you can take on the creation of your own directory listings and for review sites, you should be responding to any negative reviews (a boilerplate message of "We're sorry to hear your experience was not satisfactory and we would like you to contact us so we can see how we can...

Hi there, @DanburyTreeCT ; I sent you a direct message on ******** forum and just noticed you posted here. You need a far more cost effective program since you're in a highly competitive market and $2k should have shown some real results. All the other services in Danbury show up but not you...

Being on the first page is only a start, and you're right, you have to have a site that engages people and gets freshened up on a regular schedule (blogging is still key here). Getting reviews is important so what you can do to have people rate your service where that rating is then linked back...

@HLSupply , you make some good points (I said the same thing in my earlier post, don't go overboard on the keywords in the content of your website). As a former librarian and someone who also worked at a company that did database search and retrieval, I have observed that many people who are...

You probably will want to get the phrases that match your business and what you write for you website, for example, you might do better with "tree removal" than you would with "arborist" or "tree service" if that is the bulk of your business. Designated "Tree Cities" around America may...

Looks like L. Mason's site is down (I'm late to the conversation). I tend to think less in terms of SEO as I do in "Embrace the Google" since frankly this is how you are going to get found. No company can guarantee top of the heap placement as Google is always changing its strategies and...

I would suggest you go to Google Places for Business (https://www.google.com/business/placesforbusiness/) and get your business verified as well as create a business page for yourself. Ideally you can then encourage customers to give you reviews of your service. Above all, claiming your...

Thank you, Shaun. I have some general knowledge in the arborist/tree service arena via those I've gotten to know, and I myself get asked who'd I would recommend to friends and acquaintances. I just need the "recommendees" to return phone calls, or at least acknowledge they got the phone call...

As someone launching a small business support service (also known as virtual assistant services) and who also knows how valuable good arborists are, I am curious about any guesstimates you have as to how much (percentage) of your business interactions are done via your websites, your Facebook...
