NG9 Web Pages for Businesses

NG9 featured listings with web pages are ideal for sole traders and small businesses who provide services to customers in the NG9 area of Nottingham. A featured web page on NG9 is an affordable alternative to paid advertising, and can provide much more information than a small advert.

FAQ

  • Do you only list businesses who are based in the NG9 area?

    • Most businesses listed are based in the NG9 post code area, but we do accept listings from businesses outside of NG9, providing they offer a local service. For example, a mobile service may be based in NG8 or NG10, but will visit customers in the NG9 area. Shop or business premises may be just outside the post code boundary, and will be listed if they are easily accessible to residents of NG9. Free listings for businesses not based in NG9 will be listed after those who are in the NG9 area.

  • I already have a website. Can my NG9 web page contain links to my main website?

    • Definitely! Just let us know which pages you want to link to. Please note that free listings do not contain any website links.

  • I already have a website. What is the benefit of having an NG9 web page?

    • Firstly, decide which keywords you expect people to search for on Google and other search engines to find your business. Then check if your existing website is on the first or second page of results for those keywords. If not, then it is most unlikely that you get new customers from the internet. An optimised web page on NG9.biz will help attract new customers.

  • I already have a website, and it does appear on the first or second page of search results

    • That's great news!. Now think of some keywords which a potential customer might use in a search, that your existing website is not being found for. We can optimise your NG9 web page for those keywords or phrases, so that your business gets found for a wider range of keywords.

  • What is a keyword or a keyword phrase?

    • A keyword is a word or phrase which describes the services a business provides or products sold. For example, a business selling fence panels, and based in the Beeston area, might expect customers to search online for "fence panels in beeston". The keyword phrase is therefore fence panels in beeston.

  • If I sign up for a featured listing with an NG9 web page, what is my financial commitment?

    • Monthly fees are £15 inclusive. Because of the work involved in preparing a web page, we charge for the first 3 months as one initial payment. From the fourth month onwards, you would pay just £15 per month. If you are not happy with the service, you may cancel at any time by giving 4 weeks notice in writing. The initial payment is non refundable.
