Default Website Hits

I have been working on my marketing plan for next year and am contemplating where I should allocate my resources. My site ranking is bad (but improving) and I don't get many hits. Would any of you care to share the number hits per month your site(s) get. I'm hoping this information will help me decide where to spend my time/money.

I will tell you what my first major step to getting more jobs, having much happier clients and relieving me of a ton of stress. HIRE A SECRETARY, it is worth the money spent. This by far was one of the stepping stones to watching my company grow.

I live in SW FLorida...my secretary is in St. Louis. No one comes to the 'Office" so all you need is a phone with a local number and send it to them and the Internet. She is the best move I have made in my company. She is AWESOME at her job and I would be LOST without her.

Take it or leave it...but I think this is where most inspectors next step should be. It has lead me to her another part time secretary and 4 full time inspectors.

I'll have to agree. I use Americas Call Center (they only cater to home inspectors). It makes a big difference and you get to enjoy your life. It's hard to answer the phone when your deep in the crawl space and can't reach your phone and paper to write on.

Bobby, two things that turned me off about ACC,
1. Paul would always call me with a line that had the ID blocked.
2.Their price was high for answering phones. I would have to triple my volume to pay for it.

1.They changed it to 000 so we know when their callin. They tried having it say home inspecion services, but when they would call confirming with people or agents and had to leave a message, the people would hit redial and get their main line and not know which HI company they where looking for. Still workin on it.
2. They do more then just answer phones,they sell for you, upsell ancillaries, and other options that I have yet to utilize. I trust them and pay for quality, not just a lowballer to answer the phone.
