My initial tests weren’t pretty.   I almost fell of my desk (I know, I know, what was I doing on my desk?!) twice.  I also experience the worst hand cramp of my life.  Just when I was about to through in the proverbial towel, I had an epiphany.

The solution was not in the input device, but inside the box.  “Javascript”

Survey Says, “How is your Business Doing?”

This year is proving to be full of new opportunities. I anticipate 2010 to be the “Year of Communication.” In today’s competitive marketplace it is essential to adapt to your clients needs and to deliver. You need to be in touch with your successes and frustrations to learn and properly grow your business.  So are you ready to learn how your business is doing? The next part is technical. To learn how your business is doing, “ask.” ~:-)

In our time, we have virtually limitless access to technologically advanced tools. A great tool to use is a Client Satisfaction Survey.

A Client Satisfaction Survey is an assessment tool that measures the client’s perception of how well your business delivers the key factors and the conditions that drive client satisfaction and loyalty. These usually include factors like product quality, service promptness, staff responsiveness and understanding of the client’s needs, concerns and problems.

Online or Off?
You can ask you clients to fill out a printed form have them do it online. A typical good response rate is 30% of total participants for an online survey and 10% of total participants for a paper survey. Another benefit of the online route is that you have a digital copy of the tabulated results!

Here are a few tips:
As you start to create your survey, keep a few things in mind to help get the best response rate.
Keep it short.  You want as many people as possible to share with you. Don’t scare them a way with a long survey.

Keep it simple. Stay clear of too many open ended questions. Multiple choice questions are easy to answer and chart the results. I’d suggest about a 30/70 ratio for open ended vs. multiple choice. So if you asked 10 questions, you’d ask 3 open ended and 7 multiple choice.

Ask what you want to hear. Only ask questions that you are willing to listen to and take action. Remember this is a tool to improve your business.

Make it look good. I know you expect this from me. ~:-) Keep your survey clean and tidy. The layout of your survey will reflect your company and your desire to hear what clients have to say.

Benefits of a Client Satisfaction Survey (according to grapevinesurveys.com)

• Retain your customers. This is critical because a typical business spends five times more to attract a new customer than to retain a repeat customer.
• Discover exactly what you need to do to keep your customers satisfied.
• Reduce customer dissatisfaction. On average, one unhappy customer will voice dissatisfaction to ten potential customers who, in turn, tell at least five other people. Thus, about 60 others eventually learn of the complaint. 80% of all unhappy customers will never do business with the company again. Only 4% of all dissatisfied customers bother to let the company know about their displeasure.

I encourage you to Ask and Listen. Savvy businesses are listening to clients and reshaping their businesses with the valuable knowledge that they are “hearing”

If your company needs help in designing and implementing a survey, let me know how I can help. ~:-)

Just in: according to Compete.com Google is now getting 1 in 8 page views. This means 13% of web site views are Google. Let’s get you listed at Google.

1. Submit to Google.
   This is free and quick way it submit your site directly using their “Add URL” page. The page allows you to add as many sites as you’d like. Unfortunately, Google doesn’t add all of the pages to it’s index. Additionally they don’t guarantee when or if they will ever check out your site. This is very popular way to attempt to get listed, but I recommend you read on….
2. Submit to Yahoo! and the ODP (DMOZ.org)
   The second way is to submit your site to the Yahoo! Directory and/or ODP. Years ago (remember the 90s?) Yahoo!’s free submission service worked very nicely and the directory was very useful.They then created a paid submission service. This created a barrier that resulted in less web sites being submitted and thus a less comprehensive tool. The “Directory Submit” was a one time fee to get listed.

   Today however they charge $299/year. Consequently I no longer recommend using the paid tool. You can submit to the free service, but don’t hold your breath waiting to get listed.

   Another directory to consider getting listed with the the Open Directory Project. This free directory is owned by AOL/Netscape. It takes some time to get listed, but getting in the back door of AOL can help you get listed with Google.

3. Get Linked to from a Google Friendly site.
   The Google preferred method is for them to find you. Google is much more impressed by your web site if other sites that they already have indexed link to you.The more popular the site linking to you the better. Do some research to find who links to your competitor and ask them to link to you.

   Our BLOG has become popular site that is very effective for launching web sites. Google visits our site virtually everyday looking for fresh content. This allows us to get clients listed in less than a week after a new site is launched. Getting one popular site to link to you is good. Getting more is even better. This is why It can be worth it for you to take some time with Yahoo! and ODP.

4. Advertise
   Funny thing. Google advertisers seem to be automatically added to Google.Setting up a Google Adwords account and setting up a budget of $30/month or more seems to work wonders for getting listed very quickly as well. Tip: Before you jump into Adwords give me a call, I can get you $50 in Google money to get you started.

Today we’ve discussed 4 ways to get listed with Google. For best results I recommend a combination approach of the above and stay clear of Submit to Google, the thought is if no one else knows about you they are not terribly interested either.

Go get listed! Now your site has a fighting chance to be found!

Don’t forget the Map
The Map results show at near the top of the page for local searches. The Map is independent of your regular listing and advertising. You actually don’t even need a web site to get listed on the Map.

You are listed, Now What?
It is good to be indexed at Google, but that doesn’t mean people are going to find you. Your site should be built with Search Engine Optimization in mind. The bottom line is that – Google wants to give relevant results. If you want to be found give them content that talks about what you think people will search for. SEO is crucial for your web sites success. If you have the time and desire, you can research the best way to optimize your site or consult with an expert to build and grow your site in a way that moves you to the top.
