I’m not really the betting sort but I had a bit of a bet with a friend of mine who was pouring cold water over the effectiveness of search engines, which meant that in effect the UFindUs directory and our customer Rapidsites would struggle to get found on the likes of Google.
Straight away I asked him for some trades that might be found on the directory. Then he decided on 4 locations which were from all over the country. I laughed when we got the results, more from the look on his face than anything else. Roofer in Edinburgh showed a UFindUs result in 3rd position, joiner in York showed in positions 1,2,3 and 4, plumber in Oxford showed as positions 6 and 8 and window cleaner in Lancaster showed 3,4,5 and 8. The links we found were either to one of our Rapidsites or to a UFindUs directory. Not only a simple and yet effective way to prove a point but now I’m a fiver richer and he’s invested £5 in becoming a little bit wiser. It just goes to show if you know what you are doing the internet is a great place to get found and make money!
