I turned down the offer to buy an ad. The rep on the phone said they had 2600 searches last year for businesses like mine (print), which is pathetic considering there are 200 of us in a city of about a million. Mind you, I m business-to-business, and in a niche at that; if you re more consumer-oriented then an ad might be worth looking at. (Bearing in mind that there are a lot of ways to spend an advertising budget.) Ask them how many category searches they get for your industry in your city. They ought to be able to tell you, and watch out if they don t. You could also call some of your competitors who do have ads and see if they ve noticed a difference in sales.
nope it didnt work for me, perhaps because of the amount of Photographers in there though. It might work if theres only a few competition in there for you
