Q: Do you have a discount if I run a webpage on more than one of your City Websites?

A: Yes, see the 'multi city discount' page under the 'Webpage Info' link on left.

Q: Can I get more than 1 "webpage" (on 1 city) for my business?

A: Yes. Look at the 'additional webpages' page under the 'Webpage Info' link on left.

Q: Do churches get a discount of any kind?

A: Yes, see the 'church special rate' page link on left.

Q: Is there a limit to the number of banner ads I can run?

A: No. You can run as many different ads as you like.

Q: What city should I choose to be listed in if there isn't a city website made for the city I want?

A: Many cities have neighboring cities that are the main cities that people relate one to the other. You could choose one of these. OR, just ask us to create the specific city that you would like to be listed in. We have NO problems with making additional city websites so that you can be listed wherever you want! Use the 'contact us' link.

Q: Other online City Guides offer free listings, do you?

A: No. "Free" listings on most sites only serve one purpose. The thing about those "free" listings (and most often even if you opt for the more expensive "upgrades" also) that you need to know is that they realistically DON'T do anything for your business! The way that those work is "IF" someone visits that specific website, "AND" - "IF" they are searching for something specific, such as your business, then, and ONLY then, will they find YOUR business. Other than that, your "free" listing will NEVER be seen! It doesn't get promoted anywhere, all it is is another page on the city guide. What good is that? Listings like those are really a waste of time.
When you have a webpage on one of OUR City Sites, it actually benefits your business by helping you get found on search engines like Google since we promote this webpage of yours in a multitude of ways. See the 'Getting Customers to you' page.

Q: Are you hiring?

A: Yes. See the 'need a job' link at left

Q: Can you get our webpage to rank high in the search engines?

A: We try our best. When you order a webpage, the regular "SEO" package that comes with it will only do so much. Depending on exactly "what" your business is, this may be enough. However, we do offer additional services that will definitely improve your chances of being on the first page of search engines like google. See the 'other services' link at left.

We also offer an email newsletter that gives you tips & suggestions on HOW to get better results from your websites or webpages AND your business in general. See the 'Business Tips' link at left.

Realize that the main purpose of having a webpage on one of our city sites is "traffic." Traffic means that people will see your business from within the city site itself, and then get in contact with you. We advertise all of our city sites aggressively, and you benefit by getting all this traffic that is coming to our city sites searching for good deals. Just by having a webpage on one or more of our city sites will indirectly help you get good search engine results, since our city sites are indexed by the major search engines on a regular basis.

Q: How long until my webpage shows up in the search engine results?

A: It really varies based on a lot of factors. It may take up to one month for it to appear, or it might take 15 minutes. Ordering one of our "SEO" packages will definitely speed things up and may drive additional traffic to your webpage.

Q: Is a webpage on this site like a having website, or do I still need that too?

A: If you already have a website, then we will link to it on your webpage (helps get you traffic & has SEO benefits).
If you don't, then your webpage acts as your website. It is a live profile of your business and includes phone number, hours and description, plus all you need on one page, at a cost that is much less than having your own website.

If you want to totally dominate your local market for whatever it is that you are selling, you could accomplish this by having both. We do also offer complete websites to help you do just that, in addition to having a webpage on one of our city sites. See the 'other services' link at left.
