New Premium Membership Payment Option

Dear FreeIndex Members.

We just wanted to let you know that it's now possible to pay for FreeIndex Premium Membership annually as well monthly. Paying annually is cheaper and effectively means you get 2 months free membership every year. You can review the many benefits of our Premium service here.

We have also introduced a small price increase as the Premium service has significantly improved over the last year but the price hasn't changed since July 2011. However as a thank you to all of our existing Premium members, the price will remain the same (frozen at ?7.95 per month) for as long as a payment plan remains active.

The last few months have been fantastically busy and FreeIndex has seen record traffic levels and more leads posted on the site than ever before. As ever we would love to hear your feedback on any aspect of FreeIndex.

Best regards,
The FreeIndex Team

Thank you very much, regards, Sam
I have always been impressed with Freeindex. helpful and an efficient site. I may decide to upgrade at a later date. yes we all get those that do not reply to our quotes and estimates. Probably because we are in businesses that are plentiful out there. But it is a part of life. Good luck to all that are struggling out there.
FreeIndex is brilliant for Mums looking to find a Stress Free solution to their Child's Birthday Party. When they call me and say they've read the amazing reviews on FreeIndex, I am so greatful for the Free Listing and the chance for my clients to leave feedback for free too. Other companies charge huge monthly fees for a similar service. Thanks FreeIndex, you guys are awesome.

I get lots of business from FreeIndex. People tend to look for reviews of businesses as a guide to purchasing goods and services and a lot of people that call me have read my reviews. I rarely respond to leads as I do not have the time! I am considering paying for membership, but I can't really take on more work anyway. Keep up the good work FreeIndex.

Freeindex is a brilliant advertising tool. Even if you aren't getting many leads through the website, it can really help to boost your position in Google search results ~ Ashley @ Inprimo Identity Card Solutions

Hi, I would look into becoming a premium member but with the amount of leads that come up in the Leicestershire area is minimal until more come available it simply isn't cost effective.

Thanks

Given that I am a new company, I need to be careful of which venues I invest for further advertisement. I have seen no need to pay for the service. I still have yet to receive 1 lead. What is the index doing to promote the businesses?

Well to be honest... Free index is good for SEO, provided you fill out your profile properly with the relevant tags and so forth. And whats more, should you not be promoting your own business. You only get out what you put in.

I am interested in the premium option however my customers are complaining they are unable to leave reviews despite making very determined attemps. I have contacted customer support to no avail. I can not support buy buying the premium service until this issue is resolved.

Absolutely brilliant website, v well run and i have had £1000's of pounds worth of work from using it.
Anyone complaining about £10 a month has no business sense at all because you cant find a better way of advertising your business cheaper
anywhere i have looked & tried many a time. If you use the website properly & put time into your page the results pay off far greater than £10 a month. Thank you FREEINDEX you should be proud of your work

Love my ad and the responses we are receiving for less than £2 a week!
We use this in conjunction with leaflet distributions and having a ad with photos and reviews to send potential customers is now paying dividend.

Thank you for freezing it :0)
The extra leads you get by going premium well covers £7.95 so I am well happy.
Shush don't tell everyone or my leads will get less haha.

As a freelance web designer, It's very important, as for the rest of you guys, to budget for advertising. I'll be honest, I've had premium for 2 months, and saw NOTHING. not a single lead to match my settings, and no jobs won. Agree with the majority of people's comments.

David - A majority of the features on FreeIndex are Free.

We also send leads to the nearest most appropriate companies for FREE (Not just businesses that pay) and unlike others we do not charge a job or success fee. Whether you are free or Premium, FreeIndex offers a comprehensive business advertising toolkit.

Going Premium is entirely optional. Obviously we have to make money to fund the development of the site and our servers.

The term free means free, it's even in your domain name this is what made you different from other Web sites.
It's a shame just like all the other site you have now started to charge a fee to get a chance of winning work no matter how little it is.
It also seems that unless you do pay now you don't get a look or a fair chance to qoute or the jobs are posted late to none paying members ,even if they are long term or not.
free index used to be on the side of the tradesmen but not any more it would seem.

What a shame ,Free index more like corporate sell outs.

Hi Aaron

We have not sold out at all.

It's absolutely not true that only Premium members get leads. By default we email the nearest 25 companies matching what the user is looking for (and text the nearest 5) whether they are Premium or not. We then also contact all of the Premium Members that are within 25 miles.

By default FreeIndex is FREE and offers a fantastic set of advertising features for all businesses.
The Premium option gives those that want it more alerts, enhanced options and more control.

It's absolutely not true we have not received an email from Free index telling us of a user wanting work near us, yet I looked on free index tonight and saw someone wanting a plumber in Greenwich WHY wasn't that users details emailed to me only five minutes down the road from me, to late to go for it now as five or more companies have already gone for the job.

As I have mentioned before I have gone for lots of jobs from this site and have Never had a reply from any customers

I think the monthly fee is very fair and reasonable as with other sites you have to pay for every job even if you don't get it and looking yearly at just under 96 per year you can be paying a lot more
