Answers to Common Questions:
How do clients find EFT Practitioner Directory?
(At the moment, not at all, the following applies when we have a big enough listings database to unleash the flood of traffic we will drive to the site...)
Every visitor to Tapping.com will see a link to the directory on every page, and will receive an email discussing the benefits of seeing a practitioner and pointing them to the site. The site gets about 1,000 visitors a day, and the email newsletter will also go to the 30,000 existing subscribers.
Your listing fee goes directly into our Adwords budget. Any time someone googles 'EFT Practitioner' they'll see a sponsored link to the site.
We're also continually working on improving the sites' natural search rankings, but this doesn't happen overnight.
How do clients find my listing on the Directory?
Clients will find you either by Location or Speciality.
You can select a maximum of three (or more if you want to pay $20 a time) Speciality categories to be listed under. This is how the clients you want to work with will find you.
All listings will randomly show up in the 'Featured Practitioners' list from time to time.
We also have some nifty ways that we will direct clients directly to your listing page from elsewhere on the internet, but we're keeping these ideas under wraps until we implement them on the site.
I already have plenty of clients, I don't need to be on another directory.
Fair enough. However...
Perhaps it's time to consider putting your prices up?
Perhaps it's time to start choosing who you want to work with.
EFT Practitioner Directory is created with the intention of connecting clients with the right practitioner for them. We're also committed to helping our Practitioners grow and evolve their businesses. If you are in alignment with that intention, you should be a part of the site.
There are lots of new directories and some of them are free, why should I join yours?
Because we know what we're doing, and we're using the same expertise we used to build Tapping.com to make the directory a success.
In the UK if you google 'Emotional Freedom Technique' you'll find us second after Gary Craig's site. If you google 'EFT' you'll find us third (after Gary and the Edinburgh Festival Theatre!). In the rest of the world we're on the first or second page, and steadily rising. We don't use hi-tech SEO trickery to get high in the search results, we just create great sites that people want to visit and link to.
We don't really believe in competition and we wish the other directory sites the best of luck - we're even working with some of them in other areas.
At the end of the day, if you get one new customer from EFTPractitionerDirectory, it's more than paid for itself. That's true no matter how many different sites you are on.
Why don't you offer free listings?
Quite simply, if you don't think you'll find one new customer in a year from our directory, then everyone is better off without your listing on the site! Clients will get to the Practitioner they need more quickly, you won't have to spend the time filling out the form, and we'll save on the administration.
We're looking to create the best directory, not the biggest. That means high quality showcase listings that connect with the client, rather than just a list of names, qualifications and telephone numbers.
We plough the entire listing fee back into the site - so you really do get what you pay for.
