The importance of frequent Hotfrog updates
You want your Hotfrog profile to bring your business the best results possible. One of the best ways to do this is by updating your Hotfrog profile regularly so it stays interesting and full of fresh new content every time people visit.
It is important to make sure the information in your profile is always current, so monthly updates are a good goal. Frequent updates also make your profile more interesting when potential customers revisit your profile.
Check the contact information in your Hotfrog profile regularly to make sure you can always be reached on the details listed. Use these regular updates to make any necessary changes to your business location, contact details, payment methods, operating hours or website URL. No business wants to miss out on a sale, especially if the reason is due to out-of-date contact details.
Add or edit product and service information to increase your business' search engine optimisation (SEO) and improve the chances of being found on search sites such as Google, Yahoo! and Bing. While you're editing your profile, let Hotfrog's searchers - your potential customers -- know about your latest products and services and keep your offers up to date, for example offering a discount on cleaning products just in time for spring cleaning!
It is often said a picture tells a thousand words, so change your images regularly too. Entice user to come back to your profile by swapping the images and showing new products and services or seasonal images.
Post a must-have coupon or voucher on your Hotfrog profile to grab people's attention. Don't forget to make sure potential customers know about your promotions by using Hotfrog's coupon and voucher options to post electronic offers.
