    What's wrong with my site?

    My conversions aren't what I hoped for and I don't understand why. I provide good value, and proof of great results so I need to know where I'm going wrong.

    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you are selling to local business people you might augment your verbiage with a video to explain your value proposition. When I talk to small business owners about Local Maps I have to explain what they are & why they would want to use them. fyi. I think the verbiage on the About Us page is more persuasive than the home page.

    Just my opinion, the site looks a bit analytical, even though your verbiage is not.

    If you are selling to corporate marketing folks you might want to include more stats and examples.

    Typo "acheive" on the FAQ page

    Good luck,

    I guess watching a video is a lot easier than reading, and since there is some reading necessary to explain what Google maps are then it is probably a must.

    Have you made any market research is there a market for your services? IMHO This is something that any webmaster for local websites must do and not to outsource.

    There is a market for it, but it seems that the only way to reach them is offline marketing. The business owners that have a website but aren't webmasters. I just want my site to look good for when they visit.

    There is a market for local map optimization. Many local business people don't know about or use local maps effectively.

    The easiest way to sell LMO is to show the prospect a search engine results list (or several lists) where his competitors rank better than he does, or better yet, where his business does not rank at all.
