FreeIndex News

We were premium for a number of years, however it didn't really have any impact on our event/job hunting. my reviews were from jobs of other sites I used freeindex to show I had reviews for work.

that's fine since we are a national company.

Bring the Premium price down please, or better still make a reduced price available for those of us, who are bothered about our reviews & reputations. On a similar vein as Tim Bolton, but also we should be rewarded by FREEINDEX for raising it's profile too, by getting our customers to write reviews here. I think 99% of my reviews, come from my own customers who I have canvassed & got myself, by knocking on their doors, & personally recommending my services to people I know & whose trust I have gained through my work. I may have had 1 or 2 customers who have come through FI, so I create a lot of free awareness for FI but I use my FI page as my free website now, & find the review section really great for my website. So to summarise, I scratch your back & you scratch mine. Reduced rate for say, 20 reviews.. £4.99..I think that is reasonable. What do the rest of you think & how about you FI, lets get some feedback please!!

I agree - I do not pay so those paying members should come before mine. Thank
You

For me, half this cost would possibly work, but only if I could see how much promotion is done. Also, I'm not sure if the local slant to this is ood for me as I cover the whole of the UK.
Agree with Thomas Brown - a response from FI would be helpful.

I find many companies offering for you to add your services to their sites are a rip off, especially email contacts offering you huge databases which are well out dated two thirds if not more of the contacts dont exist.

I dont get many leads from the freeIndex site but its worth having as reviews are linked from them to my official website.
The profile is worth having as an alternative to my official website.

I paid for leads once never again, same with other stuff

Can u call me 2mz on 07880938999

ok .. i might trying .. but meanwhile ..people who looking for an accurate psychic readings with a psychic clairvoyant .. they can contact venus psychic . V E N U S P S Y C H I C . C O M

The cost is too high and I know boys who have signed up and didn't get the leads.

I think it is too expensive. Don't get me wrong, I would pay it if I thought I was going to get the leads, but so far it has been pretty dry on leads. I don't think that it is worth it for my category as my Adwords campaign cost less per month and I get lots of jobs from it. I cannot see that I will get much for the money.

This notice has produced a number of varied comments - any response from "Free Index" please?

I agree, paying to get higher rankings doesn't necessarily mean you offer good quality services.

I thought good quality service with the photos was the to freeindex

pictures say a 1000 words for me the premium listing is a cheap winner more photos is a must to show case your work.Im more than happy with proposed changes. some traders have listings with no feedback or even pics why shouldn't they be lower down if they cant be bothered to promote themselves.You only get out if you work hard & put in

To be top of the local lists you need to pay ?... I thought quality was the key ? and turning up on time...silly me...will consider premium but its a little expensive for my category type

I thought that's what I was paying you for in the first place for the past 2/3 years? I guess it was my quality workmanship and 5 star reviews that got me the work and not the premium listing has I thought? Also leads have been lacking in my area recently?

Im ment to be premium listid cos iv payed

Interesting

I was a premium member for over 2 years. But found that any one could advertise even if they were not registered with a local authority as taxi drivers or taxi Companies. They could always undercut the legal taxi Co and it became a price war. I reported one co to FI but they are still listed. And on job feedback they were winning the price war. I have been providing my service since 1996. We were one of first in area with FI and were one of 1st to go premium but no more might as well advertise with weareacon.com for free

Going Premium maybe should be less expensive - we businesses have plenty of costs as it is and advertising has to be chosen carefully. I like FreeIndex (though why I've been sent the closure notice as I last had a review only on 21st Dec...) and I am rated No 2 in my field. I was No 1 but some other guy must've tapped up all his relatives to overtake me and be Mr Smug..

I don't know about other fields but your site seems to have had at least a 50% reduction in leads just over the last two years in wedding photography. Also, the leads that are being placed 'very infrequently' are for cheap and cheerful weddings where the client is looking for the cheapest possible service. So I personally would not be considering any upgrading until I see an improvement in the quantity and quality of leads.

i would go premium but there hasn't been any tree surgery leads under 50 miles for about 4/5 months. Its a very busy time of year so shouldn't be the case.

As an electrician business leads come in more often than not so I'm finding it beneficial

Completely agree with sentiments of D H Weddings Annette/Ray - leads for CV writers have been negligible throughout 2017 and don't warrant any investment.
I appreciate this is a "freebie" but would need to see plenty of evidence that you are promoting the service to potential customers before I invest.

Currently not worth considering a Premium Member position as my category - wedding photography - has had just 3 potential leads since the end of August 2018. 3 leads in 4 months is significantly less than a year or two ago and impossible to justify an investment.
