The score is a value from 0 to 100 that represents the presence of accurate and complete listings data as well as user generated content across internet yellow pages, local search, social networking, regional and vertical sites. The score is a summary result based on multiple data points. The relative rank and score of sites in the report help us to determine where the merchant will receive the most benefit from syndication.

The merchant?s score will increase gradually over time as a result of syndication activity. Within that context, scores will fluctuate naturally due to the dynamic nature of online search rankings and the emergence and disappearance of sites that publish business information.

Google, Yahoo, Bing, and Ask.

We think site rankings should be directly relevant to the merchant?s category and location, so we don?t just rely on nationwide rankings (though we do use them as a reference). The primary method for determining rankings is to search by business category and city across four search engines and group the results by site category: internet yellow pages, regional directories, social networking, etc. Using this method, we can determine the most relevant social networking site for your category and city, the most relevant internet yellow pages site, and so on.

Syndication is the process of claiming merchant listings and creating accounts across multiple online destinations, for the purpose of increasing the merchant?s online presence and pushing out a consistent message about the business to all the places where customers are looking.

We ask subscribers to fill out a detailed business profile including basic contact information, web address, list of local-product-designs and services, business description, and other elements. Using the information in this profile, we visit local search sites with business directories and create, enhance, or fix listings for the business.

Our detailed analysis of the subscriber?s online presence helps us target those sites that offer the greatest opportunity to boost the subscriber?s visibility. Over time, this syndication effort is rewarded by a steady increase in the merchant?s score, which drives traffic to the merchant?s website and storefront.

Yes, we send a monthly email to the merchant showing where profile data has been submitted if the merchant is a Platinum subscriber.

We create an account on behalf of the merchant at each site. More than 90% of sites permit verification by email. In those cases, we complete the verification process ourselves. In a few cases that happen to be very important, such as Google Maps, verification can only take place via a postcard or phone call. Our preferred method is to guide the merchant through phone verification when email verification is not available. End user should take note that in some cases Google will only allow for a postcard to be used for verification.

In the majority of cases, the destination site wants merchant data and values it more highly than other sources, ensuring that the data we submit will take priority. If, however, our data does get overwritten, this will be detected the next time we produce a report on the business and action will be taken to correct the problem. The end user should keep in mind that most directories such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc?. compare and contrast data, and publish what they feel to be the most verified information. After time of having your data migrated across the net, the business listing will be more privy to having their information consistent.

Though we do NOT own the directories that we are sighting information on behalf of the end user, the end user should take note, that on day 1 of the subscription for the LRM package, Green eSolutions, will begin submission of the data. Some sites will update more frequently than others, however it may take up to 12 weeks to see a major increase in visibility online or an adjustment in the reporting. Google, for example states they will accept you into their directory with a potential 4 week review period, after the date of verification.

We can report on a business without knowing the heading / category, but reporting will be more valuable if the category is taken into account. We ask that that reseller-program or merchant supply that information if not already present.

No, the tracking number would be tied to a third party and not the merchant themselves; therefore the integrity of the listings would be affected. We also do not accept profile URLs hosted by a third-party site if the business has its own URL.

Many national chains have an on-staff SEO/SEM team to ensure their company information is being found across the web. Our solution provides many of the benefits of this service at a fraction of the cost. This also allows for 1 call to be made on any questions regarding the listing, rather than contacting many directories.

Your submissions will begin on the date the information and payment has been submitted to us. Once we have this information we will begin pushing data to various search engines and directories. Each directory operates independently of each other which results in a difference of when data begins showing in the directory. Each directory will perform a build or refresh of their directory on various intervals. We cannot control this, however, we do see visibility trends begin to show online within 12 weeks. Google specifically in their guidelines will state it takes 4 weeks for consideration into their directory after you are verified with them.

Though building website your self is great because it saves money they do not always convert internet traffic. Why is that? Well, our designers have years of experience developing graphical strategies that are used to take a internet surfer to emailing, calling, or directly getting directions to your store. Do we guarantee our design to convert. There are NO guarantees with the internet because there is no direction interaction with the customer while they are surfing the web. We do however make a customized website that has high graphic relevance that should show your business better than the competitors in your local area. Please remember that the average consumer will compare your website to at least 3-4 other competitors in your area before making that first call.
