About iPagesCanada
iPagesCanada started it's mission to provide small business owners and alternative advertising solution in 2009. As an owner of a business myself, I created an advertising company out of necessity. We believe that the internet is the first place people go when locating a business locally. For many years in the past, people used to go to the Yellow Pages and look up a business in their book. Times have changed. Google beat out Yellow Pages 10 years ago for local business searches.
With the advancement of technology for customer ease of use, Internet mobile devices such as "smart phones" have taken over the Internet for local business searching. In fact mobile Internet connected phones out number desktop and laptop computers 4:1.
Are you paying too much for advertising? The average business spends $1500/month on print advertising today.
iPagesCanada is here to help you grow your business by offsetting some of the costs of your advertising budget. Advertising in print media today has declined substantually in the past 3 years due to an increase of the Internet and Google searches. What if you could save $1000 or more each month? iPagesCanada is here to make it happen.
When people finally decide their standard Yellow Pages or print media ad isn’t worth the money anymore, they’ll often be sold a listing for some online version of the same book. After all, it’s an online listing. So, that must be better, right?
Wrong.
The trouble with Internet Yellow Pages and other "directory based" companies is you have to search through listings to find the one you want. There are lots of other competing listings detouring customers away from your ad. If someone finds your ad and clicks on it, there are still more competing listings. Is that what you are paying for?
87% of all local searches in Canada are performed on Google Search. Shouldn't this be the first place you should be?
In fact, comScore research shows that 82% of local searchers will follow-up their search with a phone call or in-person visit to the best listing they see. (That’s why it’s so important to SHOW UP and STAND OUT in Google.)
To all of you, from all of us at iPagesCanada- Thank you and may your business prosper!
