Over 90% of the visitors to ezHomeService.com perform a localized search looking
for home service providers. The majority of our consumer visitors enter
our site after performing a search on a major search engine such as Google,
YaHoo!, or MSN. These are people who are looking for service providers in
their area and many of them want to use the convenience of eMail to contact
businesses with their job information. The trend of using the internet to
locate both information about a particular service and businesses performing the
service continues to grow rapidly. For example, in June of 2006 there were
over 65,000 searches on YaHoo! alone for search term derivations of "Carpet
Cleaning". If your business is not participating in these search results,
you are eliminating your business from a targeted, effective, inexpensive branch
of advertising.

At ezHomeService, we have invested extensive time and effort in the area of
Search Engine Optimization. If your business has a website, you already know
that being on the internet is easy . . . the hard part is being
FOUND on the internet. We have
designed our site to be "relevant" to the major search engines, and continue to
tweak it to improve our page rankings in all of our Service Types.
To perform a search on ezHomeService, a visitor indicates the Service Type and
the Zip Code.
A three tiered search is then performed:
-
Paid listings appear at the top of the list.
-
Free listings appear next.
-
Listings from a localized web search appear last.

Search Engine Optimazation industry experts agree that where you place on the
list of search results is critical to success. The higher you are on the list,
the better your chances are for results.
With a paid listing you get:
-
Placement at the beginning of the list of search results.
-
A two line advertisement to describe your business.
-
A link to your website (if you have one).
Both paid listings and free listings get an "eMail
Job!" button in their search results.

A paid listing costs $60 for a year - - - that's $5
month. Compared to the cost of an advertisement in a phone book or the
newspaper, that's a bargain. This is an introductory rate and is subject to
change as we continue our rollout. If you want a paid listing, your best bet is
to lock in this rate now.
