Customer Street and UFindUs Web Design

The MoreUK Directory update is almost complete.

The results pages have had a much overdue revamp and you can now view the new results for Plumber in Leeds.

What do you think ?

Here at Customer Street we are also responsible for the UFindUs Local Business Directory.

UFindUs is one of the 3 directories that are managed here and we continually push for more traffic to these directories. The other 2 directories are MoreUK and Smile Local.

Each month we monitor all our directories very closly for search engine rankings, unique hits, returning visitors, page views and more. This is so that we can analysis and plan successfully as we want top rankings to promote our clients as best as possible.

Just to give you an idea here are some stats comparing December 07 to Janurary 08

UFindUs - Visits up by 48.58%

Smile Local - Visits up by 147.22%

More UK - Visits up by 84.20%

As part of the design and SEO team at Customer Street I have been given the fun job of redesigning the MoreUK directory. You can view the current MoreUK Business Directory Here.

So what do we need to think about ?

These are the main things I will be thinking about when I start drafting up an image of the potential new MoreUK Directory.

The specific pages need to reflect exactly what they are about. This means that if someone completes a search for a plumber in Lancaster, the page needs to reflect in either images or words, both the area and search phrase. This will ensure that the first impressions when a visitor arrives at a page are very specific to what they are looking for.

We need to get everything that is vitally important in the top 600 pixels of the website. It was a shock to me the amount of people who still use 600 x 800 screen resolution so we need to ensure that no matter what resolution the visitor uses that they can see the important information first.
