City Search Made Easy

We have just recently added new City Pages to the site. These new pages are dynamic and allow you to see weather, local events, Maps, Business listings and more. We are pleased with the response we have already and hope to increase the amount of information over time.

We have also recently revamped the local search results. this change was designed to move us up a bit in search engine placement.

Another recent addition included adding a reciprocal link option to the Pro-Center giving paid for members an easy way to build up their web sites relevancy, through the use of a reciprocal link to the profile they have created on MyServiceLocator.com

NEW SEARCH "What and Where"

Our new search is an exercise in relevancy. We have found that the biggest issue people encounter while looking for a local business is that most search engines use the Business web site as a source of content in order to display results from your search. This works; however any business can simply add anything they want to their website or business profile making the search results returned by most search engines truly irrelevant.

Myservicelocator.com uses a two tired category system to return results that are far more relevant than any other search engine. We have implemented a reverse engineered search on the site that allows you to simply type a short keyword to see a list of pre designated categories on the site that are related to what you are actually looking for. Sounds really simple and yet other search engines don't yet incorporate this logic into their sites, making your search an exercise in patience and futility. To see an example of this

Paging Results (Faster page loads)

Over the weekend we changed how the search results work. We are now paging the results and showing 8 results per page. This change was made in order to speed up the time it takes to render each search. The search results are now displayed (ordered) by distance from the center of the zip code searched and by list type. We added search navigation directly under each set of results making it very easy to navigate through. We are aware that some of the companies listed on the site will now be located on page 4 instead of page 1, however the change was necessary and users of the site will appreciate the change. This new feature will also give paid for listings more weight and more value for the advertising dollars they spend.

Site Design Change

We are currently changing the overall design of myservicelocator.com over the next few weeks we will be adding a background color to the site and restructuring a few of the pages in an effort to make the site a bit more pleasing to the eye. We expect this change to affect a few pages and actually make them a bit difficult to see, until they have been updated of course.

Thank you again
