FREE Online business profile

A FREE business listing on PinBud gives you much more than you'd expect from FREE ADVERTISING:

• Preferred listing position - You will be listed and sorted on top of non-member listings.
• Business listing info - You can publish your business name/address (full address or zip code only) and other contact information you wish (phone number, cell number, fax number, contact person, etc). You may also indicate hours of operation, service area if you work at your client's location, etc. You can also be contacted through PinBud via e-mail; however, your email address is not shown in order to block spam harvesters.
• Detailed presentation - Add a logo, business slogan, a short description of up to 150 characters, and a long description of up to 1400 characters. Yes, you get this for free.
• Provided services / categories - You can indicate services you offer in up to 10 categories.
• Keywords - You may assign up to 10 keywords describing certain aspects and strengths of your business that distinguish it from other listings. Users will click on keywords to filter search results and to select service providers.
• Link to your website - Your website link appears on your profile as the word "website" (note: Upgrading to a GOLD account gets you the SEO-friendly "www.yourwebsite" link - more on this later.)
• PinBud website / web address - If you don't have a website, you may designate your PinBud page as your own website address (it appears as "www.pinbud.com/123456/" with your own unique PinBud number.)
• Alternate business name - You may publish a trade name (doing business as/etc) if you have one. Your listing will show up in search results when users search for your alternate name.
• Portfolio (add pictures) - Upload and showcase your work with photos and explanations. This is a GREAT feature, and yes, we’re STILL talking about your FREE listing.
• Promotions and discounts - Publish coupon codes, show exclusive discounts, or upload flyers/brochures for your prospective customers.
• Consumer reviews - Users will write consumer reviews and rate your business. Reviews will only be published upon approval if they meet our minimum standards.
• Respond to reviews - You will be able to respond to negative or positive consumer reviews. Other users will also rate consumer reviews, penalizing poorly written and unfair reviews while promoting informative, factual reviews. This leads to an honest assessment of a business.
• User preferred business - Users can add your listing to their account as their preferred service provider.

Email service requests (also FREE!)

Included with your FREE business listing / profile we describe above is e-mail contact functionality, which allows you to do the following:

• Receive service requests from prospective customers by email - Users will be able to select your business and add it to a service request form. You will receive an email detailing the service request. The number of service requests that you may receive is unlimited, and PinBud does not charge any transaction fees or job commissions.
• Respond to the above service requests - You can respond to user service requests and bid on jobs directly by phone, by email, or through your PinBud account, depending on user's preferred contact method. PinBud is not involved in the negotiation process at all.
