clickfind™ was launched late 2007 and besides it being a good search engine and business directory, it also incorporates “State of the Art” Search Engine Optimisation (S.E.O.) functionality and technology.

Brisbane, Queensland January 17, 2008 — clickfind™ was launched late 2007 and besides it being a good search engine and business directory, it also incorporates “State of the Art” Search Engine Optimisation (S.E.O.) functionality and technology.

Here are some of the features that set this search engine apart both in Australia and overseas:
• With the push of a button a user can have their business listing uploaded to Google Maps
• Google Ads will automatically be published with the client’s business name as a keyword phrase as a part of their monthly fee
• All products and services on clickfind (owned by the user) are allowed to be exported to RSS, which allows them to syndicate their products easily
• Professional copywriters may be hired at a small investment to help clients write their listings, making sure they get quality listings, but at the same time have a listing that works with SEO
• Anchor text is allowed on their listing description and is encouraged, as it has long been recognized a strong factor in ranking well with search engines
• Members can publish their listing directly from clickfind to Google base (once Google Base is available in Australia)
• As well as listing business info, members can list up to 500 products and services, which dramatically increases SEO performance

A powerful business directory
clickfind™ business listings are far more useful than those in other directories and search engines. As well as essential info like business name, description and contact details, clickfind™ listings can include full details of products and services. We’re not just talking about a simple list — a business can add a separate page with description for up to 500 products or services.

This approach is extremely useful for customers, but it also has great value for business owners. Adding product and service information dramatically increases the chance of a business being found when a customer is looking for a relevant product or service, either on clickfind™ or elsewhere. It also means a business can treat their clickfind™ listing as a self-contained website, or use it to drive traffic to their existing website.

Useful and fair search results
The search engine has been carefully developed to ensure results match what people search for. When a user searches for “apples” we’ll make sure they find apples and not lemons, unlike some of the other search engines. Results are also targeted geographically, so people can find businesses near them.

We do not sell advertising spots or sponsored listings. The order of business listings is based on relevancy. This means we keep things fair for businesses and produce meaningful results for people searching for products or services. Whether a business was listed a year ago or today, it doesn’t matter — geographic location and keyword relevancy is all that counts.
