Paul, your in the website business, how many people do you think would type anywhere “certified Master Inspector”, if they were looking for a home inspector.

I would have to say just about Zero.

lol…me not in the website business fella…lol…thehehe…Me be an Electrician and Inspector…:slight_smile:

If I changed one of my website titles to “Arizona Certified Master Inspector”, of course it would be number one in Google, because nobody searches the term.

Pointless.

So, as per the application I could do 150 hrs of home study send in my $175.00 and get a CMI designation without ever having completed a single inspection. Or am I missing something?? It would not be the first time.:wink:

I was under the impression you were into website optimization, sorry.

Important to note…if you search for “Certified Inspector” you get these results…

Never heard of them.

Apparently not a hot keyword or search term…](*,)

Certified Inspectors (plural) is the term most used by consumers when looking for inspectors, followed by…

Certified Inspectors city, example Certified Inspectors Denver is the term second most used by consumers when looking for inspectors.

Also, most consumers use google.com to search although Microsoft is going to make a run at search this year.

The general public is obsessed with the word certified.

Certified Home Inspector and Certified Home Inspectors are also high on the list of terms consumers use to search for inspectors.

Master is not. Licensed is not.

If you were looking for a HI in Portland Oregon what would you type into Google?

What would your Mom or Sister use for search terms?

Master is not used by consumers in searches… in almost any profession (except for maybe electricians and plumbers being sought by other tradesman). Consumers (the one’s buying homes) are obsessed by the word Certified.

Certified Home Inspectors
Certified Home Inspector
Certified Inspectors
Certified Inspector

are what consumers use in google, msn, yahoo, etc.

I tracked pay-per-click advertising for years, the keyword “certified” is not what I call a “hot” search term in the two most popular sites and their affiliates.http://www.google.com/images/google_sm.gifGoogle Advertising Programs

I hear ya NICK…I actually like MSN much better and my RadioPet and other companies come up MUCH better on MSN as well…:slight_smile:

Leave it to BILL GATES…:slight_smile:

The 4 above followed by the city they’re looking in is a popular search phrase too, example: Certified Home Inspectors Seattle.

Yep…Adwords and the old Overture NOW Yahoo…got plenty of my PPC money over the past 8 years…

It seems to me if a person was looking for a HI they would search for say

“Certified home inspector(s) in Portland Oregon” or a variation of the same key words.

From my web site tracker data: Folks useually use “Tucson Arizona Home inspector(s)” or a variation of those key words. However, lots of people find my site by searching for Plumbing info, Realtor info etc.
