TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR RESPONSES

• PROVIDE A PHOTO (PREFERABLY A PIC OF YOURSELF RATHER THAN A LOGO).

  
  Our statistics show us that members with photos definitely get more responses (company logos also help and are certainly better than nothing, but the best response comes from pics of the actual member).
   

• PROVIDE AN "AREA OF SPECIALISATION"

  
  Even if you are an "All Rounder" specify an area where you would most like to receive new clients. Potential clients to the site take a lot of notice of your area of specialisation.
   

• USE AFRIKAANS AND ISIZULU

  
  If you are seeking predominantly Afrikaans, isiZulu, or other language clients -  write everything on your profile in Afrikaans, isiZulu, or other language. Those members who have done this have received excellent responses.
   

• ACCURATE PHYSICAL ADDRESS

  
  Make sure your physical address is as detailed and accurate as possible. Also that it is correctly formatted with commas. The search engines recognise accurate addresses better.
   

• ADD ADDITIONAL AREAS / DIAL CODES

  
  You can add as many dial/codes to your profile as you wish. This means you turn up in more search results. If you are in Johannesburg, this may be particularly attractive as you can add an additional suburb/s within Johannesburg. See here for more info.
   

• WRITE US AN ARTICLE

  
  We accept  aritcles related to accounting/ law / financial advice. We have a special article section that attracts visitors in its own right. Every article you author will link back to your profile page. See some ideas.- Ideas for Attorneys, Ideas for Accountants Ideas for Advisors
   

• LINK BACK TO YOUR PROFILE

  
  Do you have your own website? Maybe a blog or a Facebook Account or other online presence? Or maybe a friend or family member has? If so, put a link from that page to your profile page. The more incoming links that you have to your profile page - the higher your profile page will rank in search engine results. If you like you can add the relevant FindaProfessional badge to your website. Simply click on the link Your badge - at the top right of your profile editing area (you need to be logged in). This will automatically link to your own profile page. 
   

• USE OUR FACEBOOK FEATURES

  
  If you have a Facebook account, click on the LIKE button on your profile page. Get your friends to too. You can also activate Facebbok Comments for your prfolie and generate some marketing in that channel.
   

• UPDATE YOUR NEWS AND VIEWS

  
  Regaularly update the "Latest News & Views" section on your profile page. Here you can share your latest views, staff announcements, special offers etc. Think of it as your mini-blog. Keep it up to date as search engines love fresh and unique content! You can find this section under the "EDIT About Us + photo" tab.
   

Finally, bear in mind that our low pricing ensures that you only require one closed lead in any 12 month period to more than cover your costs. Success doesn't always happen overnight. Traffic to our site is increasing all of the time.
