REGISTER YOUR BUSINESS ON THE ASSIST247 MATRIX AND SUCCEED

How to take advantage of this brilliant new concept

We’re going to keep this really simple: To ensure your business stays competitive in the 21st century, you have to maximise your Internet profile. The Internet is without doubt the marketing medium of the future, and the more ways people have of finding your business online the better.
Register your company on Assist247's Business Listings Directory

There are only two ways of doing this:

  1. Spend a large amount of money developing and maintaining a huge website, and allocate a substantial portion of your budget to SEO and PPC campaigns, or
  2. Register your business on Assist247’s unique new Business Matrix for a small monthly/annual fee.

When you combine and age-old marketing principle (business directories) with an equally old mathematical principle (the 3D Matrix), the result is a stunning and hugely successful new way of marketing YOUR business online, that has already proved itself extensively over the past six years. The three dimensional Assist247 Matrix exponentially increases the number of routes to your business details by combining these three important aspects:

  1. The types of services/products you can provide (or else the number of ways to describe your specific service/product).
  2. The various areas where you are prepared to perform your services/provide your products.
  3. The companies/organisations those services/products have been approved by (optional)

Therefore, if your business offers five different products/services approved in 6 different areas, this creates 30 ways for people using the Internet to find your business details. In effect this is the same as listing your business 30 times on an online directory, at an equivalent cost of only R5 per listing per month.

That’s why we believe the Assist247 Matrix is the marketing service providing the best value for money on the internet today.

Assist247 matrix of services, areas, and approvals

Of course there are also a number of other reasons to register on Assist247, such as:

  1. Not only individuals, but companies such as Europ Assistance SA, Hotline, McCarthy Club and many others use this service extensively, providing your business with a valuable online networking tool.
  2. Assist247 provides national coverage, giving you the opportunity to widen your business’s client base considerably.
  3. Assist247 interactively markets your business online to customers looking for your services.
  4. We achieve this by allowing Google to index your business details as a separate destination (to be accessed directly without having to search our website).
  5. We also give you the opportunity to choose as many services and areas that you are prepared to service as you like, thereby creating multiple routes on the Internet to your business (30 routes included in your basic monthly fee).
  6. In addition we allow you to link yourself to the associations and corporations that have approved your services, thereby creating even more opportunities for your business to enhance its credibility.
  7. Finally we allow you to accurately place your business on a Google map (making your premises easy to find), and also to attach more information and photos regarding your business to your profile.

Our online marketing strategies get your business noticed. Here’s how:

At Assist247, all businesses, whether small or large, receive exactly the same service. You also don’t need to have your own website in order to advertise your business online and rank for local searches. Your profile on Assist247 acts as a mini website that helps to promote your brand and services, and you can also continually improve your profile by updating it and adding photos. Assist247 therefore gives small and medium sized companies the opportunity to create an effective online presence by advertising within a large internet-based collective.

Alternatively, if you have a large business with branches across South Africa (and you will note from the site how many large businesses subscribe to the concept), you can register each branch within the related areas on Assist247 to maximise your business’s coverage.

Assist247 uses an effective internet marketing strategy, incorporating Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and Pay Per Click marketing (PPC) to promote its website:

With our SEO campaign, we ensure that all listings are found by local search engines and that all searches related to service providers are targeted, including searches done for locations. PPC is done alongside SEO to ensure maximum coverage for services and top service providers, ensuring that people looking for related services are able to find Assist247 providers.

Assist247 is available to all businesses at a very small monthly fee

Due to popular demand, registering on Assist247 has been opened to all types of business, and you don’t need a huge advertising budget. As per the Application Form, three options are currently available:
