New site traffic rankings. The most popular inspection-related sites.

[Nick Gromicko]

Here is how to create a site that converts visitors to customers: www.nachi.org/brutal.htm

We disagree, Nick. Not all areas or people are the same.

I get good conversion by having good content on my site (I write articles on various home subjects) and having multiple logos, from NACHI, our Chapter, BBB, ESA, MoveInCertified.com, etc.

People tell me that they are impressed by the information and the credentials.

That makes them call, then it is my job to sell them.

Hope this helps

Nick, good stuff.

For those who don't know, 'above the fold' means your most important information should be visible on the home page without having to even touch the scroll bar.

Dominic, your ranking rocketed up after doing NACHI.TV show. Wow.

Yup, gotta love it! Our traffic has been great ever since. We have an ad coming out in a HI catalog soon which I'm sure will help as well. I'll definitely be stopping by before the end of the year to film another episode.

Thanks for all the great help Nick!

Will is correct in that the public is not yet comfortable in scheduling an inspection online yet. They go to the website for information, then the CALL the inspector, which makes conversion rates almost unquantifiable. Hence http://www.nachi.org/immediategratification.htm

I think I ended up moving up 4 spaces?

For the most part converting has to be done by phone: www.nachi.org/convert.htm

Agreed. I had my mind set on an ecommerce site, which conversions make or break you.

Thank you, Sir.

The NACHI SEO page shows me at 1,677,664 in September. It hasn't updated my site rating since then. It also shows me at a 3 ranking, but google shows me as a 4.

Oh well.....
