The Phones are Ringing in Philly

ginny — Wed, 18 May 2011 19:01:03 +0000

When Dave Myers, owner of the 101 Mobility franchise in Philadelphia, started working with Qiigo he had one main objective: to drive calls to his local phone line. By partnering with Qiigo for Search Engine Optimization services, Myers has seen an almost immediate response to achieving this objective.

With a focus on Myers’ two main categories of business, stair glides and ramps, Qiigo was able to immediately impact his call volume. Myers started seeing an increase of as many as 4 calls each day. By qualifying those calls, he has seen an increase in closed sales over the last several months. “Our March numbers were up 50% over February, April was up 25% over March, and we are on track to have a record month in May thanks to the SEO work Qiigo has done,” says Dave Myers.

Driving business to his local site was an important objective for Myers. His clients want to work with someone who has a local presence, someone who is rooted in the local community. By emphasizing his local website and phone number, Qiigo was able to start generating calls for Myers right from the start of the campaign. With the volume of calls increasing exponentially, Myers has even added staff to ensure that phones are answered at all times.

“I am 100% pleased with the work that Qiigo has done and I look forward to expanding my efforts with Qiigo shortly,” says Myers.

Businesses can now Comment on Yelp Reviews

jennyg — Sat, 02 May 2009 21:13:51 +0000

Yelp is a leading online review website designed to give consumers an opportunity to critique businesses they interact with. It has become a popular sight for gathering information on all types of businesses from restaurants to bridal salons. However, Yelp has long been criticized for a variety of questionable tactics. Yelp has been accused of hiding negative reviews and trading positive reviews in exchange for advertising dollars. Most importantly, Yelp has been under attack for not giving a voice to the businesses that are being reviewed. This is all changing.

If you are interested in commenting on Yelp reviews about your business, you must log on to biz.yelp.com to claim your page. Yelp has created a guidelines section in its Business Owners Guide to help guide you through the process of managing a negative review. The guidelines include:

Explain how you have addressed a specific concern raised in a review
Correct inaccurate or out of date information provided by a reviewer
Attempt to resolve disputes via private messaging prior to posting the business’ version of the story
Avoid personal attacks
Do not offer incentives
Do not thank a user for a positive review

While allowing business to comment on reviews will not solve all problems, it is a good first step in resolving the issues that have plagued Yelp for the past several months.
