How Does A Chicago | Cook County – Evanston Business Dominate Google?

admin — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 21:00:25 +0000

If you haven’t heard, the “Canary Pages” are almost dead as a method for businesses to reach a consumer who is MAKING A PURCHASING DECISION!

Think about it…when you are looking for something – whether it’s a coffee shop, a doctor, or a bankruptcy lawyer - where do you start looking first?

If you’re like 85% of the rest of North America, you go to google.com! What shows up on the FIRST PAGE of Google’s results DOMINATES the market for the search phrase that was entered.

For example, you’re looking for a cosmetic dentist in Cook County. You go to Google and type in ‘cook county cosmetic dentist’ (pretty simple, right?).

Click HERE to see that actual search. Notice that one of the unpaid listings is from www.fivestarchicago.com!

That could be YOUR PAGE if you were a cosmetic dentist!

We have dozens and dozens of FIRST PAGE rankings in business categories that can be used to drive hundreds of people to your website, and to your business.

If you are like most businesses without a dedicated Information Technology staff (and who does!?) you are probably faceing these challenges:

You don’t have a website
You have one that you haven’t updated since your cousin built in in 1998
You do have one but it just doesn’t work to bring in new clients
You don’t’ have a way to keep you in touch with your existing client base
You don’t have any idea where to start, or what you want your website to look like and say
AND THE BIG ONE…you are not found on Google, Yahoo, or other major search engines when someone types in search terms related to your business!

After hunting around for a decent portal to showcase the businesses that could use it the most, it was time for Chicago & Cook County businesses to DIY — Do It Yourself. In the spirit of “don’t worry, be fast and get something up there NOW”, you can see the first draft of the Chicago and Cook County Front Door Portal at: Chicago – Cook County Business Portal

This portal will be very exclusive. It will be for particular niches or sub-niches that have a top spot available in the search engine results. These particular niches typically spend heavily to promote their businesses or professions, but clearly haven’t gotten their websites (if they have them) indexed for their main keywords.

Several base categories are live at this point. Within a very short period of time, you will be able to put almost any category into the search engine and see the “placeholder” page for that niche. If you are just dying to see what a plain vanilla placeholder page looks like, go to Chicago & Cook County Businesses. Imagine your own business or service with a great spot in that search engine I mentioned.

Now imagine that same spot in the results leads to your website. Through the magic of computers, a kind of call forwarding can make that happen! Best of all, once yours truly either fixes your current page to rank well in search engines or has an exclusive team of Web page builders craft a website for you that will present the right face to your prospects and clients, you’ll be able to stand on your own!
