A new on-line directory service is championing the cause of independent mobile retailers, aiming to help independents stand out from the crowd by gaining them a much higher position on the search engines than their own stand-alone websites.

 

It works on the principle of a virtual network; every dealer that joins helps to lever the indie-guides directory to the top of the online search listings, improving visibility on the web for all members and, most importantly, giving independents prominence when enquirers search for mobile retailers in a particular area.

Steve Wickens, Managing Director, explains: “As an indie-guides member you will benefit from a strength in numbers that ratchets up hits on your website and genuine sales enquiries. Indie-guides enquirers are interested in buying from an independent, which means that you receive better quality sales leads.

“Indie-guides is a simple concept designed to be an inexpensive yet effective way of helping independent businesses prosper against the tide of corporate competition.”

Members are given space for a 200 word ‘editorial’, up to two images, contact details including website and email hyperlinks, plus the chance to add keywords to make the most of the indie-guides search facility.

There is no minimum membership period and indie-guides is currently offering a launch promotion of a free 90-day trial, following which membership costs just £10 per month per outlet/location.

Steve adds: “Indie-guides is dedicated to boosting business for independent retailers. Membership costs much less than newspaper or radio advertising yet it will increase traffic to your website and generate email and telephone enquiries from genuinely interested prospects.

“Indie-guides members will derive strength from a national network that boosts their local presence.”
