Here's Why,
Did you know that the more
reciprocal links you have with other web sites, the better the
chances that your web site will be listed in a search engine
search? If you were to have a listing but no web site, you
greatly the chances of home buyers or seller calling you.
When home buyers or sellers are on the Internet shopping for a
home inspector they are less likely if they cannot learn more
about you from a website. The decision to call the
inspector usually is not made made from the Directory listing,
it is made from information on your web site. The
Directory listing steers them to your web site. After they
visit your web site, we want to to return to our web site to
give them a chance to continue looking for an inspector.
It is really no longer an option for businesses to have a web
site if they want to be successful. A web site is the
single most cost effective tool you will have in your home
inspection business. With quality web hosting being
available for only a few dollars a month and build-it-yourself
services that enable a person with no experience to create a
site in only a couple of hours, it really doesn't make for good
business to not have a web site. Our main business is
inspection report software and training. The reason we
provide web services at or below our costs is that we
know that a web site is essential for success in today's market.
The main requirement for a FREE listing is that you place a
reciprocal link on your web site to
BestInspectors.Net in a prominent location on the main page of your
website. If you advertise any of our competitors on your
website, the link to
BestInspectors.Net
must be at least as prominent as the link to our
competitor. Only our graduates and users of our inspection
report software are exempt from the link requirement.
There is a complete list of requirements below.
We want to keep the quality of the directory as high as possible
so every site that is submitted for inclusion in the Directory
is verified that it is functional and relevant. We get far
more requests for inclusion in the directory than we can
process. We try to accommodate everyone but it is not
always possible so we have to prioritize. First priority
is our graduates, users of our inspection report software, and
paid listings. After that we do all the listings for web
sites that have links to us. We then do CMI, InterNACHI,
NAHI members, and others.
