FIND A BUILDER

In last month’s issue of Master Builder we offered advice on how to promote your business in the most effective ways, including the use of the FMB Find A Builder website.

 

The FMB Find A Builder website has been engineered to provide YOU with job leads – pure and simple. The FMB website development team constantly looks for ways to improve this FREE facility, but can only do so much as part of the success of the site is down to each individual member. You get this great opportunity FREE as part of your FMB membership, so don’t pass up the chance to create more job leads in return for a few minutes effort.

 

PROMOTING YOU TO CONSUMERS

The FMB promotes YOUR BUSINESS to more than 20,000 consumers every month through its consumer ezine. Members of the public visiting the FMB website can sign up to receive the ezine every month and its main purpose is to drive consumers to the Find A Builder website. These consumers have demonstrated their interest in domestic building projects already – that’s why they have visited. Now, many of them are actively seeking an FMB builder in their area.

 

We give every member a standard profile page on but (and this is where you can influence a consumer’s choice) it’s up to YOU to keep your pages updated with new projects and for YOU to show off your skills. You want the work – so make sure you get it. Updating your own page on the FMB website will deliver real benefits for your business. What you add to your profile will be picked up by search engines, increasing your visibility on the web and making it easier for consumers to find you.

 

The FMB generates thousands of job leads for members every month and all you have to do is follow these instructions to update your profile and it’s done – until the next time you finish a project you’d like to feature. If a potential customer searches for you on a search engine (like Google), this will highlight your membership of the FMB and let them contact you through Find A Builder.

 

All you have to do is login at: www.fmb.org.uk/fmb-member-login and click on the ‘Find A Builder’ tab. From there you can access your enhanced record and add:

 

  • A description about you and your company, along with a logo or pictures
  • Two case studies, each with two pictures. (Before and after pictures work particularly well).

 

Now, to get started on updating your profile to take full advantage of these features, just visit: www.fmb.org.uk/enhanced for full instructions.

THE FMB IS NOT JUST PROMOTING YOU ON THE WEBSITE
