Tips for zips.

Note:  The following tips only refer to www.FindanInspector.US.  These tips do not apply to other InterNACHI sites such as www.InspectorSEEK.com
 
Please note that there are 3 types of postal code fields on the InterNACHI profile page.  The first represents your physical location, and is used only for official InterNACHI mailings.  The second is your primary place of business postal code, which is the single location where you wish to give the highest priority (for example, the nearest city or large town).  The third field represents 20 additional postal codes, and is used for FindAnInspector.US searches.
 

Tips from Lia (InterNACHI staff):

www.FindanInspector.US is now the internet's most prolific home inspection lead generator.   It permits you the inspector to determine or carve out your own market regardless of where you live.  In other words you can pick the areas you most want to service.  You do this by submitting up to 20 zip codes (postal codes coming soon).  Here is some information as well as tips for choosing and submitting your 20 zip codes:

Because the home buying public is more familiar with towns than zip codes, submitting a zip code you service will cause you to appear to service the town that the zip code corresponds to.  So if you want to appear to service a certain town, submit the zip code from that town.  If a visitor searches for an inspector in a town you service, you will appear.

You can carve out your own market.  This is useful if you own a franchise territory or want to work or not work in a particular neighborhood.  So if you want to service a certain town, just submit the zip code from that town.  It does not matter what your physical address is (where you sleep at night).  The system only cares where you want and are willing to service.

Each zip code covers an area with a radius of 20 miles (over 1200 square miles!).  Properly spaced out, your 20 zip codes will cover thousands of square miles (see diagram).

Each zip code submitted carries nearby zip codes with it.  So if you submit a zip code area with a center that is closer than 20 miles to the center of another zip code area, you will appear as servicing both towns that correspond to both zip codes.  In other words you need not submit both zip codes if they are very near each other.

If a town has more than one zip code you will only appear as servicing that town once, regardless of how many zip codes you submit from that town.  So more than one zip code from the same named town need only be submitted once.

You can also simply change your Primary Business Zip Code to the zip code you most want to work in.  You can do that from http://www.nachi.org/profileintro.htm
 

 

Tips from Nick (InterNACHI's Founder.):

We do not want to list home inspectors who are no longer in business or not yet open for business.  So if when you search your own area you discover a competitor who is not both willing and able to perform home inspections, alert us at fastreply@nachi.org and we will investigate and delete them from future search appearances.  See http://www.nachi.org/deadwood.htm.

Like all our other membership benefits, we do not charge for leads generated from our websites. 

All inspectors listed on InterNACHI websites are InterNACHI members.  Non-members cannot pay to be included.  See membership requirements.

www.FindanInspector.US is the porthole to our member database and serves as the technical backbone to many other covert InterNACHI-owned websites as well as future online projects.  So help us get it right.

Do not submit zips to our webmaster.  Use our member-controlled profile editor at http://www.nachi.org/profileintro.htm
