Q: How much will local search cost me?
A: With local search, you will only pay when a customer
visits your website or calls you. Period. Your monthly
cost will depend on how many people click on your ads,
but we will set up a monthly budget and you will never
be billed in excess of your monthly budget. Yellow page
featured listings will have a fixed cost every month that
depends on the level of listings that you choose. Back

Q: How much traffic
can you guarantee?
A: Nobody can guarantee local traffic from the internet.
The amount of traffic you get depends on how many people
in your area are searching for your type of business.
What we can guarantee is that when people in
your area do search, you will be found. Back

Q: Do I need a website
to advertise on the internet?
A: No! Millions of people search for local businesses
on Google, Yahoo, MSN and AOL. They don’t always
need to see a fancy webpage, they just want your phone
number. Your customers are looking, you have to help them
find you. Back to Top.
Q: Can I target multiple
locations?
A: Yes. Tell us every area that you would like to targeted
and we will create campaigns for every one. Back
to Top.
Q: I already have a website,
why do I need to advertise on the internet?
A: In the online marketplace, the Field of Dreams approach
(if we build it they will come) will get you nowhere.
The internet is quickly becoming the primary source of
information and being found is becoming more competitive
every day. When was the last time you went to a website
listed on page 3 of a SERP (Search Engine Results Page)?.
To be successful on the internet you must know how to
reach your target customers and make it easy for them
to reach you. Even if your type of business doesn't’t
need a fancy website, you still need to be found. As more
and more people search for local businesses on the internet,
it becomes increasingly important to have an online presence
so you don't lose business to your competitors. Think
your target customers can find you? Take
the Be Found Challenge and see what your customers
will find online when they are searching for your products
or services. Back to Top.
Q: Why should we
hire the Local Search Experts?
A: The technology for local search has only become readily
available over the past year. This technology is moving
and changing so fast that you will be left behind if you
aren't reading the daily news. Back
to Top.
Q: How do I make sure
I’m not wasting money?
A: With local targeted advertising, your ads only show
up when somebody in your area searches for words relevant
to your business and you only pay when they click on your
ad. We will give you detailed reports so you know how
many visitors came to your website and how many times
your featured listings were displayed. For more information
about profitability reporting, check out our reporting
page. Back to Top.
Q: Do you offer a free trial?
A: Unfortunately, we cannot offer free trials. Pay-per-click
advertising and featured listings cost money to run and
take a lot of time to set up. The reason Be Found Local
has been so successful for our clients, is that we offer
customized and thorough campaigns tailored specifically
to your business needs. This requires a LOT of time, energy,
research and expertise to set up your campaigns before
your ads will start running. Our trial period lasts for
3 months which will allow both you and us to see how your
ads perform without risking a huge amount of your budget.

a proposal request
form and we will get back to you with ideas and a
proposal that is tailored to your business. Back
