Our Online Directory, is a search engine for consumers, or other business members, that are searching for a business provider.

BabbleBee online is growing to be one of the top resources for consumers to search for a business provider, as our site offers a consumer the capability to view a provider profile, a virtual presentation, an electronic brochure, and other consumer's feedback.

Many online directories simply display a business’s contact information. We provide more detailed information, so that members may quickly screen providers. For members who don’t have Web sites, we can provide their Web presence. For members that do have Web sites, we increase traffic to your site and increase your odds of bringing customers to it!

Our feedback section assists the consumer in qualifying and selecting a business provider easier and faster, so consumers rely upon our website as being their primary business finder source.

Any business owner that is part of our networking community receives feedback from the customer for services performed. This feedback allows consumers to choose a business from our site with some idea as to how they have performed in the past. It also offers consumers who use a BabbleBee provider the opportunity to voice their opinion on a provider's service.

Help your potential customers find you online and tell them why they should use you, once they have found you!

The potential reasons that customers are not finding you may be:

• Many small to medium businesses do not have a large advertising budget, so it is difficult to use the various mediums to reach their customers, such as impressive phone book ads, billboards, publication ads, and search engine advertising.
  
  
• Many small to medium businesses still do not have a website, or if they do, are still not being found by the search engines. Most consumers now do the majority of their shopping, including shopping for providers, online. Without spending a considerable amount of money ramping up your website traffic, your customers may not find you online.
  
  
• Many small to medium businesses have a limited number of employees and many of the employees perform multiple functions due to budget constraints. Sales or marketing may not be in the skill set of the employee resource pool available, so ads that are placed may not have the impact desired. Furthermore, those employees have to focus on their own position within the company and often do not have the time to create and construct ads.
  
  
• As a smaller or medium business, especially in a start-up phase, you may not have a large client base or referral network. Your word-of-mouth advertising is limited, and you seek a way to spread the word about your business and build your brand.
  
  
• You may have unsatisfied clients, and not be aware that they are dissatisfied, as you have had neither the opportunity nor the budget to survey them. These clients may be spreading the wrong word about your business and negatively impacting your revenue. You may have been able to transition the dissatisfied client to a satisfied one, if you had only known about their perception. You cannot afford any negative advertisement.
