Ziggs, Inc. Introduces Global Search Marketing and Search Monitoring Service for Professionals Who Want to Manage Their Online Brand

Posted on: Monday, 17 October 2005, 12:00 CDT

BOSTON, Oct. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Ziggs, the fast-growing people search platform for finding professionals online, today announced Ziggs WebPro Service(TM), a search marketing service designed to give professionals who need control over their online presence the ability to achieve it quickly and easily, with minimal time and cost. Ziggs WebPro Service provides a simple but complete solution for creating, managing, marketing and monitoring one's online brand. This new online service gives you the ability to 1) quickly and easily create a professional online presence with an online profile that Ziggs hosts for free, 2) instantly gain top visibility in global search results for that profile and 3) receive valuable insight into search activity for that profile through continuous monitoring with Real-Time Search Alert emails. Ziggs WebPro Service delivers these benefits for managing one's online brand in the following ways.

Top Visibility for your Name across Global Search Results

Since search results for proper names tend to list thousands if not millions of results, ensuring global visibility for your name in a premium position "above the fold" is ever more critical if one wants to be found successfully when searched for. That's why Ziggs gives professionals the ability to ensure top visibility for their name across every search engine, helping visitors find them listed prominently in search rankings, with a current, up-to-date profile with professional background and contact information.

Ziggs WebPro Service does this by providing a premium listing for your name, with a link to your professional profile, in every major search engine, including Google, Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, Ask Jeeves, even CNN.com and more. Customers can use an existing company bio provided on their corporate website with WebPro Service, or use a professional profile that they create for free at Ziggs with Ziggs' easy-to-use Profile Creator service.

Global Search Activity Monitoring for your Online Profile

Ziggs WebPro Service also notifies professionals in real-time each time a visitor reviews their profile via any search engine. This gives professionals insight into the frequency of search activity to their online presence, providing the time of visitor review, search engine used and keywords used. Insight into search activity surrounding one's online profile helps professionals gain a better understanding of the value of high visibility and delivers insight into the frequency and locations of search activity for their online presence.

Peace of Mind Online

"We've got you covered in search results," said Tim DeMello, chief executive officer and founder, Ziggs, Inc. "Our new service gives professionals peace of mind online because we offer a complete package for creating, managing, marketing and monitoring an online presence for your professional brand. Every professional should consider online brand development and management a necessity in light of the fast-growing search trend for conducting people searches for business associates, customers, prospects, hiring managers, interview candidates and more."

Kevin Abt, founder and president of FranBuy.com, uses Ziggs WebPro Service to manage his online professional brand and business presence. "The Ziggs service is extremely valuable to my business because it gives me an easy-to- use yet professional vehicle for creating, managing and marketing an online brand presence for myself and my business, with top visibility across all search engines," said Kevin. "In addition, Ziggs WebPro Service helps me monitor the frequency of search activity to my online presence, giving me real-time insight into search traffic to my online profile throughout the world."
