Is it smart to list my competitors on my website?

Looking through my Google Webmaster Tools stats today and saw that my average top position for ‘sage island wilmington nc’ was 3!

In an earlier post, I had mentioned how I was ranked #2 on Google for ‘web hosting in wilmington nc’, Sage Island was number 1.

So, I went to Google and typed in ‘sage island wilmington nc’ and sure enough, there I was, number 3.

Also, yesterday I was talking to someone about how it is good SEO to place your competitors together in your web marketing campaign. “How’s that I asked?” The answer is simple – let’s take my situation as an example.

Someone looking for sage island using Google has obviously heard of them somehow right? Either through some other form of advertising that Sage may or may not have paid for. But, that same person may have never heard of me, Impulse Web Solutions, an alternative web company here in Wilmington. So, while they were looking for Sage Island, they may possibly see my link, wondering who I am and click on my link instead. I have to admit, Sage Island is the biggest web company in town right now and is my biggest competition. However, they also have a lot of overhead and expenses, therefore their prices are higher. I have also run into some of their past clients who stated that Sage had gotten so big that they were forgetting the little guys. Small site changes were taking weeks and the quality of work was suffering.

So, with that information, I think I might start mentioning my competitors more often in my blog posts. With that in mind, here are some of the people I consider worthy adversaries in Wilmington NC:

Sage Island
Venue Communications
Akira Media
SecureNet Information Technologies
Modular Media
Blue Tone Media
NC Fusion
Breakforth

Impulse now accepts all major credit cards

Using Paypal as the transaction handler, we can now accept all major credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express. You no longer need a Paypal account to pay online.

That being said, here is a summary of all the ways we accept payment:

Impulse now offers Paypal Integration Services

We can integrate Paypal Express Checkout into your pre-existing shopping cart to give your site users another secure way of paying for their order. Express Checkout redirects the user to Paypal’s site where they can log in using their existing Paypal account and pay for the order using the money in their account. They are then redirected back to your site to complete the order.

Paypal also offers a Direct Payment option where Paypal processes credit card transactions behind the scenes. This option allows users to never leave your site while Paypal automatically charges their credit card and sends the funds to your Paypal account.

If you need help integrating these solutions into your existing shopping cart or would like for us to develop a shopping car system for you, please use our contact form to send us an email.
