The page Nick linked to is part of an upcoming refresh of our listing pages and search engines, so don't worry about it too much yet.

Cheers,

Personally, I like to push FindAnInspector.us , as that's the easiest for buyers, agents etc to remember. If any one site is going to get primo consideration / facelift / list if ancillary services, please let it be this one!

Nick and Chris,

Thanks . . . looks good.

Personally I like www.InspectorNow.com because the consumer gets instant gratification.

Put the call button / instant gratification with the FindAnInspector.us name, & I'd call it a winner!
FAI is great when you want to give a "non-association specific" site.

Nick and Chris,

I love that site also, but I don't like the fact that it lists home inspectors from New Hampshire that aren't even licensed to perform home inspections in Massachusetts.

Imagine the inconvenience of Buyers attempting to locate an HI (within a specific distance) and they start calling inspectors in the New Hampshire area (who are close), who then state that they are not licensed to inspect in Massachusetts. Who knows, they may even be booking the Massachusetts inspections in illegally.

The best way to avoid this issue would to place some sort of slot on the inspector pages where it lists the state(s) they are legally licensed to inspect in.

David, same thing with CT & NY.

The site isn't designed to have consumers find you on it. It is more designed to help boost YOUR sites' SEO.

[Russell Spriggs]

Ohhh . .

[Nick Gromicko]

One of the things that really boost your site's SEO is to have a very large, inspection-related site link to your inspection business site. Generally, members' sites enjoy high search engine rank and we continue to push member's sites in every way we can.

I had no idea. I've been sending my far away callers to this site.


How about the other HI search sites that iNACHI owns?
When people are looking for HI's they are viewing a list of HI's and this list does not separate the licensed inspectors from the inspectors that are not licensed in Massachusetts.

Same here.

Also, it's good for agents to know about FAI etc so they can provide "3" names . . . get 2 others to go with me!
