Back in 2019, pre-pandemic Candio partnered with four telecom companies to launch a new service for SME businesses called Web Listings. A service that provides a business with a single dashboard to instantly update business information on over 50 online platforms – from Google and Apple Maps to Waze, Uber, and Facebook.
Fast forward 18 months and after partnering with over 50 telecom companies, Candio have now launched Web Listings to over 60,000 UK businesses. With over 12 months of data, we have been able to analyse the impact Web Listings has had on those businesses and here are those results.
38% increase in phone calls
On average, a small to medium business will receive 320 calls a week. With 60% of consumers still preferring to have a phone call with a new supplier first. Web Listings will populate your customers correct phone numbers across 50+ online platforms.
23% increase in more search appearances
92% of searchers will pick businesses on the first page of local search results and 80% of those will ignore the paid ads. Organically push your customers to the top of the search engine with Web Listings.
18% increase in website visits
On average, 55% of small businesses will receive fewer than 500 visits to their website in a month and on average, the conversion rate is between 0.5% and 3%. Improve your odds by driving more visitors to your customer’s website with Web Listings.
13% increase in direction clicks
“Near me” or “close by” type searches grew by more than 900% over the last two years. 88% of searches for local businesses visit the business within 24 hours. Is your postcode correct? Do Apple Maps still have your customers old address? Ensure that over 50+ platforms have the correct location for your customer so when whoever visits they are visiting the right place.
