TOPIC: Marketing your business

I am a new inspector in Oregon, Luckily in a well populated area. I shouldn't say new as I have been in buisness now for about 6 months, so pretty new. I have been slowly moving along, the one thing that I have noticed to work is realtors prefered providers list. This is where I have found my cheapest best buisness, and repeat buisness. My question is though I do not have a website, where has everyone else done a website? What's worked the best? What's the cheapest way to do a website?

Hey Scott,

Welcome to the message board!

I think you'll find most of the guys on this site get their website through us. David Macy (who is on this board) told me yesterday he received 3 calls through his site during the day. I know many inspectors who get 75%-90% of their business through the web. To find out more info click on Website hosting at the top of this site. All inspectors get 3 months free to try it out so you really have nothing to lose. It's $19.99 a month after that since you use Home Inspector Pro. You can see lots of other inspectors sites listed on the Website Hosting page, or check out the last board on this forum which is for website hosting and look in the link exchange thread, lots of guys have posted their site info there.

Hey everyone, I've been working hard on getting my web site up and running, Its almost done.  My site is www.oklahomahomeinspector.biz , feel free to give me some input if you like.

Hey John,

The sites looking great, especially since you've just had it for a few days! I like the sample report too. Once you get started on search engine optimization you'll be able to get nice rankings with your site and domain name. I like your logo, lol.

Oh ya, I like that too.  It fits well for my company.  The HLC stands for Hairy legged Cowboy.  My fiance's mom calls me a cowboy because I live here in Oklahoma (she lives in Cali).  Then her boss tells her to watch out for those hairy legged boys.  So I combined the two and made a HLC!!!  lol

HAHAHA. I can see your full name being on the report. "Hairy Legged Cowboy Inspections, LLC"
