"I already have a web site. Why do I need an ad on your site?"
Next to beaches, dining is the second most popular activity among people
coming to the Sarasota area for vacation. Fully one-third of the thousands
of people a week visiting the various 4Sarasota.com group of web sites have
already made reservations and are looking for more information on planning
their trip to the sun coast. If your business is not available online you
will have to wait until your potential customer arrives in Sarasota and then
try the much more expensive traditional print or broadcast advertising in
hopes of reaching them. By reaching out to your customers before they get to
the Gulf coast, you have a much better chance of them knowing about your
restaurant before they get here.
Having a web site of your own isn't the end of the story. You need to get
links to your web site in order to get search engine traffic and visitors.
Your ad on RestaurantsInSarasota.com with a link to your site
will help drive more traffic and customers to your business. If a web page is never linked
to in any other page, search engine spiders cannot find it. Have you
searched for your restaurant name online? Chances are your page on
4Sarasota.com / RestaurantsInSarasota.com is already listed. Search one of the
major search engines like Google or
Yahoo! (Be sure to add Sarasota to your
search in case there's another restaurant by the same name.)
"Search engine databases are selected and built by computer robot
programs called spiders. Although it is said they "crawl" the web in their
hunt for pages to include, in truth they stay in one place. They find the
pages for potential inclusion by following the links in the pages they
already have in their database (i.e., already "know about"). They cannot
think or type a URL or use judgment to "decide" to go look something up and
see what's on the web about it. (Computers are getting more sophisticated
all the time, but they are still brainless.)"1
Did you think about the location of your restaurant before your opened?
Do businesses with greater visibility attract customers? Just as location is
important in business, it's equally or even more important online.
www.RestaurantsInSarasota.com is already in the major search engines and is routinely
crawled by them looking for links.
www.RestaurantsInSarasota.com sites are constantly top
ranked by major search engines for many of the keywords or phrases your
potential customers and visitors to Sarasota/Manatee are using.
Several advertising options are available on
www.RestaurantsInSarasota.com.
From a
basic listing upgrade linking your existing free listing to your own web
site and moving your restaurant above others in your categories to a
rotating or fixed position ad that appears on every page of
www.RestaurantsInSarasota.com.
