| Let's run through the benefits you'll get from your membership:
-
Password protected control panel: For your eyes only. You can access your own private member's area, knowing your information is secure.
-
Business Profile: You get an entire dedicated web page to promote your service, no sharing with competitors. Without any knowledge of web page design or complicated HTML, you can easily and quickly complete the professional template. We've taken all the hassle out.
-
Full web page Course listing: Each listing has its own web page and the easy-to-follow template makes it a breeze to put together. You have ample room to provide all the necessary information for clients to book your training on the spot.
-
Promo description for each listing: Unlike some directories that take the first few lines of an existing listing, you have the opportunity to craft a specific, irresistible message to stand out on search result pages. Whet the appetite of potential clients and drive them straight to your full web page listing.
-
Multiple locations: Let people know if you have several locations. Not only do people like to know you have a location close to their home but it also demonstrates how well established you are.
-
Full contact details: Never give any reason for potential clients to leave the site without initiating a first contact. Provide as many contact options as you can: phone, fax, email, website and physical address. You don't pay extra for giving yourself every chance to close a booking.
-
Choice of up to three categories per listing: Increase the number of times you appear on search results by choosing three different category/subcategory combinations for each listing. Three times more exposure at no cost.
-
Choice of keywords: You know your business, you know your industry's jargon. Chose your own keywords and let people in your field of work find you easily when using the keyword search engine.
-
Unlimited editing changes… Make as many changes to your listings as you'd like, when you want and you won't be charged a cent for it. Tweak your listings until you get it exactly right, no technical skills required. Test different approaches, prices or marketing angles at will.
-
Unlimited free page views: You may have heard of people paying per page views or per click. But not with us. People can view your listings as many times as they want without you incurring extra charges.
-
Spam protected email link: You won't get bombarded with spam email or unsolicited offers that clutter your inbox and leave you frustrated as you wade through emails to look for genuine enquiries. Our spam filters block unwanted messages, leaving you to deal with only important emails from prospective clients.

Active link to your website: Is your existing website barely attracting visitors? By simply including your web address on your listing, Google and other major search engines will follow the direct link and boost your search engine ranking.

-
'Add to Shortlist' button on listings: No more "I can't remember where I've seen that". People can shortlist your course or business profile for future reference.
-
'Email to a friend' button on listings: People can email your listing to a friend. What better referral than from a trusted friend! And it's cheaper and more effective than paid advertisement. Online word of mouth at its best!
-
'Print' button on listings: This useful button is for people who like reading offline. We certainly don't want you to miss a booking opportunity!
