Head straight to your brand new online Business Profile and see how beautiful it looks. Your new business profile looks and feels like you're own website. It has had the Service Central branding and Get Quotes removed and been redesigned to give you a lot more control over its look and feel. Plus, it works amazingly on phones, tablets and (of course) computers.
Your Business Profile looks great on Computers!
It looks even better on your Mobile Phone!
Your new Business Profile automatically re sizes to fit any size screen. So whether you're using your computer, or on the road with your phone, you can have confidence that your Business Profile will look great.
Check out how it looks on a phone.
Your Contact Details are now Sociable!
There has been a big update to how your Contact Details are shown to the public, as well as your own customers. You can now specify what contact details are displayed on your Business Profile, and who can see them. For example, you can now specify a public telephone number and then a private telephone number that is only displayed to clients. Similarly you can choose whether your address is shown or not, and who to.
However, the most exciting thing is that your Business Profile is now Sociable! You can now add in your Facebook and Twitter pages right from your Business Profile. This will encourage your customers to Like and Follow your business on these popular social networks.
An easier website address to remember and share!
Your website address is now shorter, and easier to share with others or publish on your business cards, letterheads and vans.
In the past your business profile's address would have been something like http://www.servicecentral.com.au/business/hire-a-hubby/ now the /business part has been removed to make it even shorter. So your new address will be something like http://www.servicecentral.com.au/hire-a-hubby/
Much shorter, and much easier to remember and share.
That said, your old address still works, it simply redirects your customers to your new address.
You Can Add in Google Analytics
You can now use the same website tracking tools that the professionals use (even Service Central) .... Google Analytics.
By adding in your Google Analytics tracking code to your new Business Profile you can see detailed information about the visitors to your Business Profile. This information includes reports on how many people have visited your Profile, where they have come from, what keywords they have searched on Google to find your business, and which pages people have come from in the past to get to you.
This is very sophisticated reporting, and it all comes with your new Service Central Business Profile for free!
An Amazing Photo Gallery
Managing your Business Photos has never been easier. You can now upload your photos straight to your Business Profile, and then drop and drag them into the order that you would like your customers to see.
Photos have been an invaluable tool in helping you win more customers, and now you can show them more photos of your work, your team and your equipment than ever before!
Some other great uses of your Photo Gallery has included uploading photos of your Feedback Ratings Certificate from Service Central, Logos of the Industry Associations that you are part of, and Photos of your sign written vehicles.
Prominent Feedback, Ratings and Certifications to help you win more work
Since 2005 Service Central has been collecting feedback from real customers to help you demonstrate the quality of your business. Your Feedback, Ratings and Certifications are now prominently displayed on your Business Profile so that your prospective customers can trust that they will get a high quality result from you.
Furthermore, the Feedback and Ratings that Service Central has collected for your business can help you win customers from outside of Service Central as well. Google now displays your Service Central rating in its search results, with a link through to your Service Central profile when people search for your business online.
See this example from a Google Search for Rock City Building Group.
IMPORTANT: Non-Member Businesses have had their Business Profile, Feedback, Ratings and Photos Removed
To further support our paying members, Service Central has removed the Business Profiles, Feedback, Ratings and Photo Galleries of any non-member businesses.
