Another Footbridge Media Discussion


I've recently received some information from footbridge media, and I'm considering using their services. I know some of you guys signed up with them recently. I'd like to see how its working out for the rest of you before I let them take control of my website.

Many thanks in advance
John K

PS.... Feel free to PM. me if you'd like

I haven't used them either, but if I didn't already have a lot of my marketing in place I wouldn't hesitate to do so. Their rates seem very reasonable for what they offer.

The contractors I know who have used them are pleased with the results.

Re: Another Footbridge Media Discussion


I would use them in a heart beat if I heard some more "George V" success stories. Is George the only lucky one or are others hush hush?

How about getting the guy that runs the program on here for a Q&A in the chat room?

OR

If those that use the service all post how many leads a week they get from the program.

I've seen Adam from AA Paint say real good things about them also, but there was a new group of guys that started using their services back in late January. I'm interested in seeing how those guys are doing almost 2 months later.

Re: Another Footbridge Media Discussion


I still have not had a response back from Aaron which I e-mailed on 3-14-07.

I am anticipating that he is busy, because he responded very promptly from my initial inquiry.

I will submit my questions an additional time to give him another chance, since I have heard continually good things about their service.

Our main website www.ecopainting.ca is not created by Footbridge media.
It is dominating the competition on any relevant keywords.

www.gtapainters.com is created by Footbridge media
It is still early, no leads yet, couple of enquiries.
But indications are it will probably do well. It is creeping up on the Search Engines.
First page on Google is almost impossible in Toronto for the popular keywords.

Ed, try giving him a call at 850-748-7673. It might be better to reach him that way . He's been real responsive to all my calls and emails to date. I just want to know that this is money well spent.

I believe Ultimatetouch, and Kevjob were the ones that setup their sites recently. Hows it going for you two?

George, How long has the site been up? How many leads have you received in that time period and how many of them were good quality leads? Maybe you can help answer some of my questions.

Thanks in advance

It's been up for about 5 months.
There were 2 leads. None estimate worthy.
Google is tough here. I know it takes time.
That was the case with our main site.

I second that.
They are very responsive.

Re: Another Footbridge Media Discussion


I was incommunicado for the past 1/2 hour or so in between vista question posts and building a new pc and wanting suggestions in my thread seeking advice.

Also, Aaron was lurking and contacted me immediately via e-mail as soon as I posted the delay in his anticipated response. I sure am glad I don't get nasty when I someone doesn't drop the whole world for little old me.

I have not even started the web design or acceptance of service at this point, but I know it is something that I need to do promptly.

Re: Another Footbridge Media Discussion


Can anyone recommend other SEO companies besides Foot Bridge, so I can compare?

Re: Another Footbridge Media Discussion


Just curious,

There is another web site developing and maintenance company which advertises on this forum named, visionwebservices.com , and I do not recall reading any feedback about them or even if anyone here has used them.

I googled "contractor websites" and they were listed twice on the first page and Footbridge was number 11th, the first one on the second page.

Re: Another Footbridge Media Discussion


Kevjob I like the look of your site did FB create your site from scratch?
I would say Aaron is very responsive and I believe he would help you what ever way he could. With SEO I dont think you can expect immediate results, so I could see my site creeping up on certain keywords, however the ROI is in the long haull. I have not sold any jobs from the work on my site yet, but I am confident that Aaron will make sure my site keeps improving so I get leads. I will keep you posted as to what my stats are, but you have to start somewhere.

Yes, he created that website from scratch, I had very little input on the design of the website. Footbridge will absolutely help with search engines rankings and get better quality leads and clients.

I have had a great response from my FB websight and especialy the monthly news letter.

Aaron has been very patient and great to work with also.
