Do you want to be found in the search engines? WELL did you search and you can see for yourself!
I, too, am getting calls on syndication and google searching.I have someone in house who is doing this for me. This lady is right to ask if they have searched your ranking online before calling? I have been told as long as you are on the first page you will be found. The challenge to me is to get a good ranking by spending my time and not much of it more than paying someone to do it that we do not even know.
I just made a post about my stupidity with a lead service which reminds me that I get about 6 emails a week and a few phone calls a day asking if I would like to be first page Google for the search terms in my area. I have been for all the search terms that mean anything since 2004. I find it funny that any company would pay employees to make a call, hence costing them money when they could simply do a Google search when finding us in whatever manner they employ. If I did want to move up a spot or 2 (I am always between 4 and 5) I might consider a pitch if you research where I was and knew my search terms before you call.
Whats said is I have saved the numbers so I don't answer. The reps are often so rude when they realize they wasted their time and even begin to argue with me that I don't know my ranking.
Note to any business, even ours. research is key to not looking like an unprofessional.Maybe by posting this publicly as well as in our RE forums I can save a few of you some phone calls. Lets hope these companies are starting to understand and might even save themselves a buck.
Have a great day:).
