How to Find the Online Advertising Program That's Best for Your Business

Last Updated: February 15, 2024

You’re a savvy business owner, and you know that becoming more visible on the Internet is vital to your company’s success. But the number of online advertising buzzwords is completely overwhelming. You’re supremely skilled in your own trade, but how are you supposed to figure out the best strategy for online advertising when your Internet skills don’t extend much past e-mail, Google, and Facebook?
We hear you. The world of online advertising is vast and confusing. That’s why we’ve put together a buying guide to help you choose the best online advertising program for your small business. We broke it down by the most common marketing concerns.

First, the Options

Before you can choose a strategy, you need to know what your options are. These are the most popular online advertising categories. Keep in mind that the most effective advertising campaigns will combine two or more of these:

  • SEO: Search engine optimization means designing a website that is deemed valuable and relevant by search engines, and then getting other websites to link to it. Optimized websites are more likely to rank higher in search engine results, and a higher ranking typically means you reach more potential customers. Prospect Genius’s Core program is centered on SEO.
  • PPC (pay-per-click): This is a paid advertising strategy wherein business owners pay search engines to promote their ads, which link to their website.
  • Local directory listings: Local directories are the Internet version of the yellow pages. Most will allow you to add your business information to their directory for free. As a result, one marketing strategy is to leverage all the possible local directories to drive traffic to your own website. Prospective customers visit these directories when searching for specific types of businesses, and hopefully they find and contact you.
  • Pay-per-lead: Pay-per-lead is a type of paid advertising provided by many directory listing sites. Most commonly, the directory sites make money by charging you for better positioning on the page, inclusion of bolded text, highlighted information, more screen real estate, etc. If a prospective customer contacts you, you are then charged for that call or e-mail.

Need for Speed

If you need to promote services quickly—whether it’s because you need an immediate boost in sales or you have a seasonal offering that’s only available for a short time—here are your best options:

  1. Pay-per-lead: Business owners can turn a pay-per-lead campaign on and off instantly, so it’s well suited for smaller time frames. Plus, this is the best solution for getting a large volume of leads in a short amount of time because the structure requires prospective customers to have higher purchasing intent, since they are actively making phone calls or sending e-mails. With a higher purchasing intent comes a higher conversion rate.
  2. PPC: Similar to pay-per-lead, PPC (pay-per-click) is an advertising campaign that can be turned on and off in an instant. Each visitor comes at a much higher price than SEO, but the ability to start and stop can be highly valuable in certain circumstances.

Limited Advertising Budget

In 2014, every business owner should be carving out room in their budget for an online advertising program. But the reality is that small businesses tend to have a little less wiggle room. So if you’re trying to keep your belt tight, here are some of the more budget-friendly options that will still get you results:

  1. SEO: Because SEO is an organic, systematic approach to online advertising, the overhead costs are fairly low. The majority of the costs are associated with the labor involved in building the website and promoting it on countless platforms across the Internet. Although SEO does require some patience to gain traction and momentum, the number of leads that comes in after a few months makes it all worth it.
  2. Directory listings: While directories are mostly free to use, your visibility is limited to just the directories on which you’ve listed your business. It’s a very low-cost advertising strategy, but it hinges on prospective customers coming to your directory of choice. However, if you do enough of them, the number of links directed at your website will increase and help your site rank better in the search engines.

Craving More Ownership

Do you feel like you’ve been burned by online advertisers before? There are a lot of disingenuous advertising companies out there, unfortunately, and they give the rest of us a bad rap. But we very much understand the desire to have ownership over your online advertising program as a result of a poor experience, so here are some options for you:

  1. SEO: Not every detail of SEO has to be dictated by the advertiser. If you want to hold on to your business’s existing website but still want the benefits of a professional SEO campaign, ask your advertiser about programs that keep your existing website in the middle of the campaign. As an example, Prospect Genius  offers a Bring Your Own Site (B.Y.O.S.) option for its Core program. This allows you to invest in your current site while our content specialists promote it as if it were one of our own design.
  2. PPC: While you can’t control the cost per click or the parameters set by the search engines, you can control your spending limit and the length of your campaign. If you do this independently, you can control which keywords are used. Even if you outsource this job to an advertiser, you have very little residual risk of long-term damage if they turn out to be dishonest. This makes switching from one advertiser to the next relatively easy and painless.
  3. Directory listings: The categories on local directories are typically preset and you’re only given a certain amount of space for your information, but you can create your own listings without necessarily even needing a website or advertiser. Be careful, though: Some directories are labeled “bad neighborhoods,” and they can actually hurt your rankings. Beyond the manpower required to type in all of your information hundreds of times, knowing which directories are helpful, which are hurtful, and which just don’t matter is where companies like Prospect Genius can really be worth the investment.

Proportionate Cost per Lead

If you feel like some forms of online advertising are costing too much per lead, then it’s time to do some math.
On the surface, PPC and pay-per-lead seem like smart investments because you’re only paying for the leads that you actually get. But how much do those leads really cost?
Let’s say you spend $50 per lead on a directory site. If you get 9 calls per month, that’s $450 you’re paying out of pocket. If you only book jobs from 33% of those leads, it actually costs you $150 per job booked. And if you’re only booking jobs that net you $100 profit, you are actually upside down by $50 per job!
The same goes for PPC, but you’ll get an even lower ROI because the conversion rate for clicks is significantly lower than the conversion rate for calls/e-mails. For PPC, getting 1 call from every 20 clicks is a very good ratio; then when you consider that something like only 33% of those calls result in jobs booked, you could be looking at a real cost of $300 per job (when you’re paying a seemingly low $5-per-click rate). When you pay for each lead, you will only ever make a fixed margin on each. There’s no opportunity for you to drive your per-lead cost down and your margins up.
On the other hand, if you pay a monthly fee of $300 for SEO (like our Core program) and wait patiently for a few months, you could wind up getting 20+ calls per month and saving lots of money. It’s just like buying a house versus renting one: It stinks to have to pay $40,000 up front on that down payment, but then you have the ability to earn a profit on that investment over time. If you rent, avoid the initial pain of the down payment, but you’ll pay more over time.

Getting Decent Results, but Want More?

Many business owners encounter a plateau in their online advertising. They’re getting a solid volume of leads per month, but they want more. This often has no reflection on the quality of services that their online advertising company is providing; rather, it just means that the particular service they’re using has been maxed out.
If this is something you’re dealing with, do some investigating. Find out if your advertiser offers other services that may complement the one you’re currently using. For instance, if you’re currently using SEO and finding that your volume of monthly leads has stagnated, then you might be interested in trying out a short PPC campaign to give your sales a boost.
Conversely, if you’ve been relying on paid advertising to bring links to your website or calls to your metered phone, you can try adding directory listings to the mix or even optimizing your site for search engines. Covering all of your bases and adding algorithmic value wherever you can is never a bad idea.

Effective, Fast, Cheap: Pick Two

Unfortunately, when choosing an online advertising program, you can’t have it all. If you want something that’s fast and effective, it won’t be cheap. If you want something cheap and fast, it won’t be very effective in the long run. That’s why you have to think long and hard about your company’s marketing goals before diving headfirst into a campaign. Do your research, and know that the specialists at Prospect Genius can guide you through the decision-making process should you need any help.

Addressing a Few Common Campaign Concerns

Last Updated: February 15, 2024

No matter how many success stories we create, virtually no campaign ever runs as smoothly as we’d like. That’s just the nature of online advertising. Working in conjunction with independent entities like search engines, phone companies, and business directories means there’s a lot that’s out of our control. All anyone can do is keep an eye out for sudden changes and adapt accordingly.
In this newsletter, we’ll address a few of the pain-points and campaign concerns that Prospect Genius clients have encountered lately and explain what we’re doing to mitigate them.

Faulty Yahoo! PINs

Many clients have had trouble recently with their Yahoo! PINs. When your PIN gets sent to you, you turn it in to us, but when we try to input it on Yahoo! it just doesn’t work. While we’re not sure of what’s causing this problem, we are aware that it exists and we have been staying on top of it. We’ve spoken to Yahoo! but we haven’t had any luck resolving the problem.
While this may sound like a huge setback, it’s actually not. Frankly, Yahoo! is not a major search engine; very few Internet users actually rely on it as their search engine of choice. In fact, according to comScore, Yahoo’s market share has dropped to just 10.1%, a record low, as of March 2014.
Moreover, we do hundreds of other off-page tasks to support all of our search engine work. With everything else that we do for your campaign, a missing Yahoo! PIN is not the end of the world.
As always, we’re staying on top of this issue and will update you as additional information becomes available.

Call-Time Upgrades

Contrary to popular belief, phone minutes are not free. Even Verizon and AT&T have to pay line charges for minutes used on the networks that blanket the country. So when clients voice concern over having their call-time packages upgraded, it’s because they don’t understand the reason behind it.
Many clients complain about having their call-time packages upgraded, but they don’t understand what it actually is.
Prospect Genius institutes a call-time upgrade when clients get so many calls that they exceed the allotted number of minutes in their original phone packages. We often refer to it as a “homerun tax” because it’s caused by the fact that their campaigns are generating such a massive volume of leads.
We begin every one of our campaigns with the smallest phone package because it doesn’t make sense to charge our clients for a larger package if they aren’t going to use all of those minutes. Upgrading your phone package is necessary because you’re spending more time on the phone with customers than the original package allows.
The upgrade is a pass-through cost; it’s not designed to profit Prospect Genius in any way. We pass this minimal cost ($9/month) on to you because, if we didn’t, we would not have any incentive to make your campaign successful. Think about it: If we had to pay out of pocket for extra phone minutes that resulted from too many leads, then why would we want to keep sending you more leads? By passing the cost on to you, we are protecting both of our best interests.

Yelp Reviews Not Sticking

We also hear concerns from clients about their Yelp reviews. With Yelp’s strict filters, which are powered by confounding algorithms, many businesses are realizing that random customer reviews aren’t appearing on their pages. It’s a very valid concern, given how many businesses use Yelp as part of their overall online advertising campaign.
From what we’ve learned of Yelp’s review filtering policies, we can tell you that it primarily filters out reviews posted by brand-new accounts. In other words, if a user created a brand-new account to leave you a review or just didn’t leave many other reviews before leaving one on your page, Yelp will likely filter it out of your list of reviews. The filter system is intended to prevent potential spamming, but the result is that it also affects new, honest users.
While Prospect Genius doesn’t have the power to change Yelp’s policies, we do have recommendations for getting around them. For starters, only ask customers to leave you a review on Yelp if they have a well established account. Additionally, we’re fortunate to have several other prominent online platforms that also show ratings and reviews. Facebook and Google+ pages are both great alternatives to Yelp, so take advantage of them.
As always, if you have any campaign concerns that you’d like to address, call your campaign coordinator or account manager. We’ll listen carefully and accommodate whatever needs you have.

Know Your Google

Last Updated: February 15, 2024

How familiar with Google are you, actually? Not just the search engine—we’re talking specifically about Google’s policies as they pertain to your business. As a business owner, if you’re not careful, ignorance or misinformation could wreak havoc on your online advertising efforts.
Recently, Prospect Genius discovered two troublesome examples of what can happen when business owners aren’t informed. First, some of our clients have been tricked by fraudulent phone calls from scammers pretending to be Google. Second, some of our clients can’t help us set up their campaigns because they don’t even have access to their own Google account information. Both of these scenarios are extremely problematic for different reasons.

Fake Google Phone Calls

There has been a rash of incidents of unknown individuals or companies calling our clients posing as Google. (And we’re sure this has been happening outside of our client base, as well.) In these phone calls, the unknown party attempts to solicit private information from a business owner under the guise of a Google employee who wants to verify their information. You can see how this could become very dangerous: Giving account information (including usernames and passwords) to the wrong people is a surefire way to sabotage your online advertising campaign and compromise your privacy. 
So, the key is not to fall for these phony calls. To do that, here are some things you need to know:

  • Phone calls from Google will always come from the (650) area code for Mountain View, California, which is where Google is headquartered.
  • There are two reasons why Google might call you:
    • To verify your Places listing
    • To sell AdWords
  • Calls from Google Places may be outsourced internationally (commonly to India), so you may hear a non-American accent—but the area code will still be (650).
  • Calls from AdWords sales reps will be domestic and will also have a (650) area code.

Remember these crucial facts the next time you’re faced with a phone call from someone purporting to be Google.
Here is a prime example of a solicitation call posing as a Google call.
http://wp4.wp4-ae1.pgservers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/bogus_map_listing_call2.mp3
Right off the bat, this phone call comes from an (818) area code, so you know it’s not from Google. (The caller ID displays the company name as “WEB SERVICE CO.”) Next, note that the caller claims to manage local listings for “Google, Yahoo!, and Bing.” That role simply does not exist. He proceeds to ask general questions about the business’s services, which means he is not verifying address or contact information on behalf of Google Places. As the conversation goes on, you can clearly tell that the caller is angling himself to pitch a new advertising service to the business’s office manager. Luckily, she ends the call before it goes too far.

Missing Log-In Information

The second problem that business owners face is not knowing their own log-in information for their Google My Business accounts. Most often, this happens when business owners work with a less-than-professional advertising team. The advertisers set up accounts for them but neglect to hand over their account information when their partnership ends. Then, when the business owner hires another advertising team, they aren’t able to grant their new advertisers access.
Obviously, this is problematic because your new advertising team needs access to your account in order to do the job that you hired them to do. Without it, they won’t be able to track your Analytics, update your listing, or manage your AdWords. Even if you don’t hire another advertiser and are attempting DIY advertising, you should still have total access to and control of your own Google account at all times. After all, it’s your business and no one else’s.
If this has happened to you, you must rectify it right away. An old company should never retain access to your Google My Business account for any reason. First and foremost, you must inform your new advertisers of the situation. Then—and this is the hard part—you’ll have to call your previous advertiser and ask them for your log-in information. It may be an uncomfortable phone call, but you have to do it. Once you’ve obtained your information, you can make yourself manager of the account, and two weeks later, Google will allow you to become owner of the account. At this point, you can give your information to your new advertiser or make them your account manager.
However, there’s one exception to this approach. Sometimes, preexisting Google listings might not have lots of good content or reviews to begin with. In these cases, instead of going through the trouble of transferring ownership of the account, we recommend deleting the listing and starting over. Not only will this provide you with a clean slate for content, photos, and reviews, but it will also prevent your new advertiser from having to retrace your previous advertiser’s footprints and redo all of their work.

Ignorance Is Not an Excuse

Whether it’s a deceptive company tricking you into giving out your information or an old advertiser hanging on to your account ownership, or something else entirely, it’s up to you to know what’s right and what’s wrong. Arm yourself and your business with knowledge about Google, as well as all other advertising-related services, in order to ward off scams and build the strongest campaign possible.

Put Your Trust in Online Reviews

Last Updated: February 15, 2024

They say you can’t believe everything you read on the Internet—but try telling that to online consumers. A recent study shows that nearly 80% of consumers in the U.S. and Canada trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations.
That’s why our blog covers the topic of customer reviews so heavily. With the vast majority of consumers making decisions based on the reviews that they read, it’s clear that reviews are an extremely valuable asset to any business, no matter what industry you’re part of.  

Why Should You Care?

If the above statistic doesn’t impress you, consider this: We’ve seen firsthand what collecting customer reviews has done for our own clients. The below examples illustrate an increase in leads over time as each client’s online advertising campaign continued. These particular clients are prime examples of what can happen when you persist in populating your business listings with customer reviews.
Client A:
performance graph - c+e-appl
This graph shows the slow and steady trajectory of one client’s leads per month. Their leads dipped in March 2014, due to a glitch that caused their listing to all but vanish from Google, but you’ll notice that their number of monthly leads has already climbed back up and exceeded the previous peak. How did they manage that? Simply by cultivating a significant number of reviews on Google+, Bing, Yelp, Facebook, and other platforms.
Client B:
performance graph - conner
This client shows a similar upward trajectory. Again, the success of their campaign is significantly generated by their high volume of customer reviews on various listings.
Take a look at the numbers in both of the above examples. Client A received close to 400 calls in June 2014, while Client B received roughly 280. Wouldn’t you like to see those kinds of results? The best way to do that is to get your customers to leave you reviews online.

How to Get Reviews

The next logical question is, “How do you get customers to leave reviews?” The honest answer is that it’s not easy. It takes a lot of persistence. But if you keep your nose down, work hard, and satisfy your customers, then you’ll get better responses when you do ask them for reviews.
You might think, I’m not getting any reviews because people only write reviews when they have something to complain about. That’s what conventional wisdom tells us, but the facts actually show the opposite: 75% of reviews posted on review sites are positive.
We suggest a tactical approach when soliciting customer reviews so you can be sure that you have reviews on only the most valuable platforms. Get a minimum of 10 reviews on the following platforms, in the following order, for the best results:

  1. Google+ — Obviously, Google+ has the most value in the eyes of Google. Reviews from your company’s Google+ page could appear right on Google’s search results pages, so prospects can see right away what previous customers think.
  2. Yelp — Yelp is a popular tool among local consumers who are actively looking for a specific service. Although it better serves brick-and-mortar businesses, it holds a lot of weight in both Google and Bing’s algorithms. Bing even pulls Yelp pages directly when compiling search results.
  3. Facebook — The vast majority of U.S. adults have a Facebook profile, so it should be the default choice for customers who aren’t as tech savvy as others. And while it doesn’t hold as much SEO value as Google+ or Yelp, it does influence Bing’s search results, and that counts for something.

ASK DIRECTLY
As soon as you complete a job, e-mail that customer and ask for a review. In the e-mail, include a link to your Google+, Yelp, or Facebook page (or all three and let the customer choose) so the process is as convenient as possible for them.
You can even add short URLs or reminders on business cards, invoices, and newsletters—anything that you distribute to your customers. It’s also a good idea to send along instructions so less savvy individuals don’t get lost.
ASK THE SKEPTICS
Steve Young, author of “5 Clever Ways to Get Customer Reviews That Convert,” offers an important tip: “Rather than asking for testimonials from your customers who immediately fall in love with your offering, try to look for those that were first skeptical.” Doing this will address and soothe prospective customers’ concerns and lead to higher conversion rates.
WRITE YOUR OWN
Young also recommends drafting a detailed review (full of specifics about the solutions you provided) on behalf of your customers and sending it to them. If they approve, they can just copy and post it, making their lives a heck of a lot easier. Plus, reviews that contain measurable results pack a lot more punch when prospects read them.
BE STRAIGHTFORWARD
Even casual Internet users these days will recognize that reviewing and sharing experiences is what drives most online activity. And, as we’re all consumers, we know that we like to read reviews and do our research before purchasing a product or committing to a contractor. So just be frank with your customers: You need reviews for your business. They’ll understand.
Nellie Akalp, a contributing writer at Mashable.com, gives the following recommendation:

You can say something as simple as, “Your opinion matters to us and to other customers, so we’d be really appreciative if you take a few moments to review your experience,” or “Do you read online reviews? We do, and so do other customers. That’s why we’d love it if you take a few moments to review your experience.”

Don’t Get Discouraged

Most importantly, don’t get discouraged if customers don’t immediately flood your pages with reviews. It takes time to get an impressive number, but you’ll be all the better for it when they finally do come in. We at Prospect Genius, in our own efforts to collect customer reviews, have to regularly remind ourselves that a page full of reviews doesn’t happen overnight. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Be patient, be persistent, and keep going the extra mile for your customers. Eventually, your business will have the reviews it deserves.

You Might Be Paying Your Advertiser for Nothing

Last Updated: February 15, 2024

Getting customers to call your business for a job isn’t easy. That’s why many business owners decide to team up with an online advertising agency to help them generate leads. However, generating leads is only half the battle. Once the leads come in, it’s the business’s responsibility to close the deal. If you miss a lot of calls, you’re missing out on jobs—and essentially paying your advertiser for nothing.
At Prospect Genius, our extensive data show that a large percentage of local businesses aren’t picking up their phones. Because lead generation is what we do, we track our clients’ leads and phone calls as a measure of campaign performance. In reviewing this data, we observed that virtually every one of our clients has missed a prospective customer call at least once.
This is a troublesome trend, but it’s also understandable. We believe that a constant barrage of solicitor phone calls is to blame for business owners’ reluctance to answer their phones. As business owners ourselves, we’ve noticed firsthand that the current volume of solicitor phone calls has become overwhelming. As a result, business owners aren’t jumping up to answer their phones every time they ring.
But here’s the hard truth: While avoiding the phone may solve your solicitor problem, it creates an even bigger problem for your company’s finances. If you want to book jobs and make money, you simply must answer your phone.

Missed Calls = Lost Revenue

Why are missed calls such a big problem? When you don’t answer your phone, you’re essentially sending that customer to a competitor. Prospective customers call around when they need a job performed, and they’ll keep calling local businesses until they finally book one. If their call goes to voice mail, they’ll likely move on to the next company on their list, unless they promptly receive a call back.
When this happens, you not only miss out on that one job—you also miss out on any future business from that customer and potential word-of-mouth referrals they could share. For businesses that see a lot of repeat customers (appliance repairmen, HVAC contractors, and cleaning services, for example), this is a tremendous loss. Plus, unanswered calls make prospects feel undervalued, causing them to have a negative experience with your brand. What do you think the chances are that they will ever call you back in the future?
If your average job nets you $100, you’re effectively writing a $100 check to your competitor every time you fail to answer a prospect’s call!

Think You’re an Exception to the Rule?

Think again.
Across the board, across all industries, our clients are missing valuable calls. No one is exempt. To show how severe this issue really is, we sampled some of our most prominent client industries and noted their percentage of missed calls. Take a look:

  • Automotive repair: 60% of all calls were missed
  • Construction: 87% of all calls were missed
  • Electrical: 39% of all calls were missed
  • Handyman services: 58% of all calls were missed
  • Landscaping: 58% of all calls were missed
  • Plumbing: 35% of all calls were missed

Just about every business commits this faux pas at some time or another.

Avoid Solicitors Without Avoiding Customers

Yes, solicitor calls are a major problem for small businesses, but ducking your calls isn’t the way to handle it. Here are some alternatives.

Answer Your Phone

A human-to-human connection is what’s most important to prospective customers when they’re looking for a service provider, so do whatever it takes to ensure that someone answers your phone when it rings. You can do this by having your advertising calls sent to multiple phone numbers at the same time, or by routing your calls to your cell or office when it makes sense. Many phone systems even allow you to ring multiple phones at once or in a sequence. For Prospect Genius clients, this is a free option that can be enabled at any time just by calling us.
If none of these options seems viable, you can always opt for a low-cost answering service that takes your calls and messages on your behalf. Many are available in the range of $1 per call, making this a surprisingly affordable option. Plus, it can weed out 100% of the solicitor calls that you’re trying to avoid.
You can also combine these two options and route calls to yourself and the answering service at the same time. That way, if you can pick up, then you save the $1; if not, you don’t necessarily lose the customer.

Set Up Your Voice Mail

Since it’s difficult to guarantee that you’ll answer your phone every single time, it’s crucial to establish a backup system. First and foremost, set up your voice mail. That means activating it and creating a professional greeting that will give your prospects a strong first impression. Here’s a script we highly recommend:

“Hi, you’ve reached [company name]. At the moment, we’re giving our full attention to another customer. If you leave us a message, we’ll return your call as soon as possible and give you our full attention, as well. Thank you and have a nice day!”

If a prospect does leave a message, you must call them back as soon as possible, preferably within 15–20 minutes. You should also clean out your voice mailbox occasionally. If it gets full, it won’t allow new callers to leave a message!
Prospect Genius clients have the option to use a separate voice mail for all calls sent from us. The recording is then e-mailed to them for them to check, thus keeping their personal and business calls separate.

Don’t Neglect Your E-Mail

These days, e-mail is just as important as the phone, if not more so. Growing numbers of people are simply more comfortable communicating via e-mail, so that’s how they opt to contact local businesses. If you don’t check your e-mail regularly, then you’re bound to miss out on a substantial number of leads.
If checking your e-mail is too much of a headache because you’re often out on a job, there are several tools available to make it easier. For instance, Prospect Genius clients have the option to have all e-mail leads read to them over the phone, eliminating the need to check their e-mail. 
You can also create an auto-reply that will send an immediate response to prospects when they e-mail you. If you prefer the phone to e-mail, then you can even use your auto-reply to instruct prospects to call you at a specified number. For example, your auto-reply email could say:

“Thanks for contacting us. Due to the nature of our work, we are better able to respond to phone calls.  Please contact us at 555-123-1234 so we can best serve your needs.”

Prospect Genius Has Solutions

Prospect Genius offers convenient, easy-to-use tools that deliver many of the above solutions. Anyone enrolled in our lead generation program has access to them through our Client Portal. These tools include:

  • Extra metered phone lines
  • Call routing
  • E-mail-to-phone notifications
  • Missed call notifications via text or e-mail
  • Call logs and recordings

Many of the solutions are well within your own power—like creating a professional voice mail greeting and responding to e-mails and missed calls—but we have professionally designed tools that will make those tasks much simpler.
No advertiser can succeed for you on their own. You’ve got to look at any campaign as a partnership and uphold your end of the bargain—which largely means answering the calls they send you. Invest in your business by answering calls and e-mails to capture the maximum number of leads for your company.
