I think you have a bunch of links on your site the takes potential clients away from you - such as [http://www.vachi.info/home\_inspectors/missouri\_mo/](http://www.vachi.info/home_inspectors/missouri_mo/) which is on your home page. How many leads does this link away from your site generate for you? The point is… [InspectorSeek.com](http://www.nachi.org/inspection-leads.htm) generates leads. What you do with them when they are on your site is your problem. ---

I have the same opinion as James B. I don’t want to have them on my site watching a video sending them somewhere else to find a qualified inspector. That does not mean that I don’t like or respect the Inspectorseek benefit. I have Google Analytics on my site and can see the Inspectorseek referrals. My entire point is when I have them on my site, I want to keep them on my site. ---

Ben even though I will never speak to Jim again he has a point and really it’s commen sense. Great video and I was very impressed until you advertised a way for my potential client who is already at my site to use to find other qualified inspectors. Now they go off looking for a better price and since we are both NACHI certified we must give out the same quality of service. As Jim stated take away the opportunity to direct traffic away from my site. ---

I agree with most here. Once they are on MY site, I don’t want them directed away from it. I know INACHI has to promote its’ services and branches, but the stuff we members like to use also has to directly help US, not the other NACHI guys in our area, if that makes sense at all. In short, if it takes them off our site, we are kind of telling them, hey there are others out there, why don’t you try one of them. ---

I would agree Ben I would not put anything that would lead a contact to another site that would allow them to choose from other inspectors. You are asking for price shopping. ---
