This is an introduction to your future as a 405 Metro member. We have created a list designed to give you a side by side comparison of all options available to you as a 405 Metro member. Just below that is a more detailed breakdown of what you get in each package option. We have tried to offer you all possible options to fit your online marketing and financial needs as a community business owner. Our goal is to remove the “franchised” power players from casting shadows on the community or family owned business. They can afford to spend unlimited amounts of money to take away every potential new customer of yours. Now, can you afford to let that happen?

Search engines and directories like Google and Yahoo are Global listings.

Ø Does the person searching in New York for an oil change increase the profit of the Oklahoma City garage? Not at all.

Ø So what does a #1 ranking do for you there? Nothing because a #1 ranking is impossible for the local or family business owner.

Ø Do Google and Yahoo offer a “Link Exchange” to increase your rankings? No. They don’t need you at all, they are the root.

Ø Do they offer TV and Radio advertising to promote their members? They don’t care enough about your business to bother.

With 405 Metro you will get the exposure you want and need to provide your services to the community. We have a Search Engine as well as a category (and sub-category) based directory. The search features are very exact eliminating what you are not looking for. If you are searching for child care, you type in “child care” and you will get ONLY providers of child care, not a list of organizations or a definition (Google it and see what you get). You will get the entire list of child care providers who are looking for your business.

We have taken it even further, to where you can browse by category or even sub-category. With options to narrow your search, and waste less of your time, you will also find what you’re looking for. If you are looking for windshield repair, you select the category of “Automotive Services”. Then look for a sub-category “Window Repair”, it will then list members who provide that service. It is just that simple for you to seek and be found in the 405 Metro Community Engine.
