Why Do You Need to Monitor?
Let’s say you moved and you are in the process of updating your directory listings. You start with Yellowpages and move down the list. In the meantime Yellowpages purchases updated information from Citysearch which you have not had change to update yet, PRESTO – your Yellowpage ad now has the old information again. Or let’s say you hire an outside source to do a PPC campaign and they provide a tracking number. This temporary tracking number could end up being the one listed as your main number on the directories. This can skew the metrics of how the campaign is/was performing and if the number is not in service anymore, well you get the idea. Swoboda Marketing has relationships with these directories and can provide premium listings at a reduced rate which add video, images, review links, slogans, along with a number of other information so you can stand out from the crowd, all at a fraction of what a premium listing would cost by individually listing with each directory. We add your directories manually and monitor them weekly, keeping your information fresh and accurate.
