Getting seen on the Internettop

Having an internet presence is increasingly a core business requirement. It means your products and services can be viewed by potential customers 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Adverts in magazines and leaflets all have a limited shelf life and are also costly to produce. Whereas the internet is a cost-effective way to advertise to your customers. For further tips on internet marketing, read this excellent article called A Web of Opportunities: Getting More Clients via the Internet.

The snag is, however, there are millions of sites out there and so how do you make yours stand out from the crowd? A well-designed site with compelling content will give your business the edge, but still may not be seen by many people. It needs to rank highly on the major search engines, such as Google. You can of course pay for this to be done for you, including marketing your business, but it comes at a price that few therapists can afford.

At CompTogether we want to harness the power of collective action to benefit all. So we make no charge for giving you a display page entirely devoted to your business. We anticipate every therapist listed in Purple Pages will do at least a small amount of promotion (even just telling their friends), but when this small amount of effort is multiplied a hundred times, it becomes a powerful marketing effect. Your chance of being seen has just increased 100 fold!!! Everyone benefits as traffic to the directory is increased. The more therapists that register, the better it is for all. Interested?

What's it going to cost?top
A one webpage entry on Purple Pages is free and updating your details is free.  If you want to up your chances of being noticed by potential clients by appearing at the top of searches, then we ask a small fee for providing this service. In addition, for selected clients we can also provide a webpage customisation service, to make your business stand out from the crowd. This can include adding photos and lots more webpages to create a mini-website, but still without hosting charges!
How does it work?top
You fill in the the Join form and once your details have been viewed by Comptogether they go on to the Purple Pages Directory. As a qualified therapist, you can then also access the Swap Directory and Case Study Finder, when filling out your details. Your details are password protected and can be changed by you whenever you want. It's that easy.
