SEO SHOPPING PORTALS TESTIMONIALS

To: Judith Palfrey – Palfrey Associates/Shopping Portals, Inc.
Date: June 23, 2011

As a small business owner, we have many struggles. One of them is our advertising. We have used many different advertising services and while some of them produce; it is at a very high cost. I felt concern; we needed to be competitive with our competition. A higher overhead cost meant we could not pass any cost savings on to our customers. As a chimney / home improvement company, competitive pricing is very important part of the business. We need customers as much as customers need our services.

Judith Palfrey, of Palfrey Associates/Shopping Portals, helped XL Services by reducing our cost for advertising. We had a web site that was like a large hole in our pocket and produced no traffic for our business. We paid a lot to Google Adwords for pay-per-click ranking. Our site had no real content, was not indexed, and had no proper coding for SEO. Since Judith Palfrey built our new website we are now paying less for Adwords, our customers are able to find us in Google Search Results and that makes me very happy. I love what she has done for us. I highly recommend her services and that should say a lot. I am old school and hard to win over. Thank you!

Shopping Portals,
Attn: Judith Palfrey,

I would personally like to thank you for all of the hard work you put into the creation of my insurance agency’s website from the design phase all the way through search engine optimization. Although our insurance agency has been in business 33+ years we had no presence on the internet prior to meeting you. Now thanks to you we have a professionally done website that actually shows up in the top 10 results on search engine with regularity.

You have exhibited professionalism and patience with me during the whole process. Your ability to write content really made the process a lot easier. It was and added bonus to be able to watch your progress day by day as the site took shape. Your really listened well to questions and requests and specialized the website to meet the unique needs of the insurance agency.

Thanks again for all your hard work. The site turned out great!

Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Palfrey,

I can’t tell you how enthralled we are at Phifer Construction as a direct result of the outstanding Web Site you prepared for us.

We are amongst the highest listed companies on all ten of our categories, and are ranked #1 through #3 of three (3) of them on Google results.

We have been “online” for a month and already have generated enough contracts as a direct result of your work, to more than pay for all of Palfrey Associates development and maintenance costs of our website.

We cannot than you enough for what you have done for us!

Sincerely,
Gene Phifer, President

Dear Judith

I have a website for one year that my daughter designed, but I got no calls from the website.

She visited me and explained how ShopGaithersburg.com works. I signed up for membership 2 years ago. Since I have a page on ShopGaithersburg.com I get all my clients from that page. My acupuncture clinic clients improved every year with more and more from the Internet. Now I have given up nearly all my ads in the phone books because all my callers tell me they found me on the Internet.

I highly recommend ShopGaithersburg.com for your business advertising. It is much less then the phone book and provides much more results.

Thank you, Judith!

Sincerely,
Aifei Wang, L.Ac.,M.Ac

Judith,

Thank you for all of the great work you have done with our web site. Prior to meeting you, we were very frustrated with the results of our internet searches. We had trouble getting our site to appear in the keyword searches, and could not even get it to be listed when we searched on our company name.

Because of the work you have done, our site and our page on ShopGaithersburg now show up at the very top of all the relevant search term listings. This was a problem that bothered me for a long time, and you were the solution.

We have received many calls from people that found us on your site within only a week of going live. I am looking forward to continued success with our ShopGaithersburg membership, and I will definitely be referring you to other business owners.

Thank You Very Much!
Kevin K. Wales, President

Testimonial for ShopGaithersburg.com

If you are searching for an effective way to get your business instant exposure, Judith Paltrey's Shopgaithersburg.com is your answer!!!

I tried placing my website everywhere…Google Adwords, LookSmart, Switchboard.com, Superpages.com and many more! All of them were basically worthless and did not give me any return on investment whatsoever!! I was so frustrated! I knew that once I submitted my site to the search engines, I would most likely have to wait months before my site was in the top 40. I didn't have time to wait that long… I needed business right away!!

I saw Judith's site on Google and I gave her a call. She met with me and was able to create an excellent ad page that gave a perfect representation of my site. She launched the ad, and within weeks my ad page that linked to my site was listed #1 on Google for personal trainers in Montgomery County, Maryland and # 4 for personal trainers in Maryland!! How's that for a quick fix?? I couldn't believe it!! My phone was ringing off the hook!!

Bottom Line: No other Maryland directory service or advertising company will get your business front-page exposure like Shopgaithersburg.com!! They will give your company the boost it needs!!

Thanks Judith!!
