Small Business Advertising on YaDig! Reach real people.

Filed under

Do you run a small business in the Middle East? Maybe you have a car repair company in Cairo, or a Salon in Beirut. Maybe you have a Boutique hotel in Muscat or a new restaurant in Dubai? There's lots of ways to promote your business online these days, but not many targeted solutions that reach an audience who is ready to spend at the exact moment they come to know your about business. Well, on YaDig we're pleased to announce that we're launching sponsored listings, sponsored category pages, sponsored neighborhoods and even sponsored business pages (we will explain below) which will enable small business owners to promote their brand, directly to people with intent to spend money at their shops, like never before. Read on if the idea of hitting someone searching for your exact business intrigues you. 

Let's say you own a car cleaning company in your city, who is a more valuable potential customer; a person chatting online with friends and liking photos, or a person online who is searching for a reputable car cleaning company in that city.....that's what we thought too. YaDig users this kind of information thousands of time per day which is why our users return to the site up to 200 times per month to find the best businesses in their city, as rated by their peers and neighbors. So around this idea that people love to find the best rated businesses, YaDig has launched several sponsorship opportunities for new businesses who want both brand exposure and also increase revenue.

Our first targeted sponsorship offering is the Sponsored Search Listings which companies can purchase directly from YaDig. The Sponsored listing will be the only guaranteed listings listings to appear at the very top in the category, sub-category and/or neighborhood of your choice. Meaning you can target anyone who searches for your type of business, whenever they do, they see YOU at the very top highlighted and sitting pretty. his level of targeting has an insane conversion rate as the intent to spend money at that time, in your place is very high, much better than showing an add to someone talking with their mother on Facebook.

Now another cool premium feature we offer on YaDig is the Sponsored Business Pages option to help you maximize your branding and your revenue. Obviously the free features on YaDig are available to all, you can claim your Business Page, manage the content, respond to reviews and even message the reviewers and followers of your business. With our premium business page services you can go a step further to promote your offers, new products, new services, increase your conversion rate and your up-sell to the browsers who are to spend money with you. You can now place banners directly on your business page to advertise your new products, offerings, deals, locations etc right when people are browsing your business page. Most businesses on YaDig see between 500-6000 views per month depending on the category so if you can convert more of those views, this is a very high ROI form of advertising for you! Imagine you are a Pizza place who has just launched salads, and a user comes to the page to find your phone number (YaDig gets killer rankings on Google for your business, check now) the user sees the banners for the new salads and while ordering decides to try the new salad options out. Boom. ROI to the maximum.

As a business owner, how much will you invest to grab the attention of the most targeted, ready and willing purchaser?

NEW NEIGHBORHOODS FEATURE LAUNCHED in UAE Finally!

Filed under YaDig for You

Today is a big day for YaDig because it marks the first time we made a huge effort based on user feedback. Our Loyal YaDigers talked, and we listened! We thought our old search was perfect but what works for some doesn't always work for everyone so today we have launched the new and improved YaDig search which we think is the best around. The easier search functionality includes the self explanatory Neighborhoods feature...wherein you can limit and refine your search results to a specific neighborhood. Say you wanted to see all the Mexican restaurants in the Marina, you simply click Search Places from our homepage and you'll see the restaurant option and next to it the neighborhood choices....click Marina and boom, you'll see what you want, when you want it and darn easy too!

That's what YaDig is all about. Getting you the info you need, when you need it. So anyways keep doing what you're doing on YaDig but we want to thank our trusted YaDigers for coming through with some amazing feedback over the last month which led to a company wide discussion and redevelopment of the site's main feature...the search. Afterall, what is a reviewing website without a badass search feature? It's equally as important as the listings themselves (which we also have the most comprehensive database of in all of the Middle East, over 30,000 venues and 10,000 reviews!).  We really thrive on your feedback guys, so please never hesitate to email us with suggestions, complaints, comments and general rants. We love it, we do respond and even more importantly we act on it! If you can think of anything you'd like to tell us just email us at info@yadig.com. Also if you haven't already joined in the fun on YaDig.com please do click here to sign up and start reviewing your local businesses today. We want your opinions on restaurants, hotels, bars, clubs, gyms and smaller venues like spas, car repair companies and more too! Thanks for everything. The YaDig Team
