26 July 2012 - Brand new FreeIndex profile editor and dashboard

Home > Blog
|

Dear FreeIndex Members

We have just launched a completely new FreeIndex Dashboard and profile editor. Gone are the days when you had to visit lots of different pages to build or edit your FreeIndex business profile.

Now you can edit all the parts of your FreeIndex profile on one single screen, and we hope that this will make it much easier to see what you have and haven’t done.

The new dashboard is much simpler and shows you at a glance the most important information about your business.

All FreeIndex business members now also have a profile score which represents how much of the profile has been completed. Along with customer reviews, this score determines the listing position of each business.

So, the more information you add to your profile and the more customer reviews you get, the higher your listing position will be - leading to more business enquiries.

The other thing we noticed was that there were far too many instructions across the whole of My FreeIndex. We have simplified the help and instructions being given, making it much easier to understand how to use the site.

Since FreeIndex began, we have had many different versions of the ‘My FreeIndex’ member’s area, but this is the most major update we have made, and we think we have finally got it right this time.

We hope you think so too, and we would love to hear your feedback as ever.

If things look a bit odd, please make sure you refresh the page - (CTRL F5).

Best Regards
Martin, Steve, Hattie and the Team

We have been on Freeindex for some time. We have had many new customers as a direct result of being included on here. I cant recommend it enough. It is a totally free effective way of getting your business out there, with no pressure to upgrade to a paid package. The reviews link to our website is the most valuable tool of all.
If you aren't using it yet then you really are missing out!
Many thanks Freeindex. Steve Swinton ADI

I have tried to change3 the phone number on our advert as it keeps advertising a strange 020 number that is nothing to do with A1 Positive and when we went into the dashboard it would not allow us to change it.

I have had a new review posted on my page with you from Mrs Minori Stuckey and a picture taken at her wedding in Brighton. Could you please delete your caption under the picture "incorrect entry etc" instead could you add "wedding at The Royal Pavilion Brighton. I tried to do it myself but your system asks for a verification number what is that, and where is it? can I phone and speak to someone, computers don't work well for me?

This is a huge improvement on the previous design. My only quibble is that the current leads display unit is not wide enough so not enough of the leads information is displayed.

Anyway, much better.
