A Phoenix pool builder could increase their revenue by receiving more targeted customers to their real-world brick-and-mortar location through their website.  Every company, no matter what their business has to offer, needs a website in order to reach those customers who use the Internet to search for things they want or need.  Today more and more perspective customers are turning to the Internet before searching any other media including their local phone book, newspapers and magazines and radio and television advertisements.  This is because the Internet offers more than just a tiny blip of contact information.

A pool builder who has an Internet web presence could use the websites to participate in search engine optimization or SEO.  Search engine optimization is a free and automatic service to all websites on the Internet no matter what their business or company has to offer.  Search engine optimization is the act of placing keyword rich articles on the websites in order to attract the three major search engines – Google, Yahoo!, and MSN.  These major search engines send out “feelers” in order to locate the keywords or keyword phrases within the articles and then rank the websites according to a special formula.  For example, if someone is looking for beach towels they would place the words ‘beach towels’ in the search boxes on the search engines and within seconds the search engines would bring back hundreds of thousands of website listings for beach towels.  In order to have a high listing on the major search engines, a company must use keyword rich articles that make sense and do not overuse the keywords for this could be misconstrued as “spamming keywords” and has a penalty of being removed from the major search engines.

Phoenix pool builders could also use their website to place a virtual video, rather than just still photos, of how the installation crew works to install a pool or how the manufacturer makes the pools.  People are often curious how things are done and this might also help when explaining the cost of things such as labor and some materials used in the installation of swimming pools.

Another good use of a pool builder’s website would be to allow customers to schedule their own free estimates.  By placing a calendar program on the website that takes care of scheduling on the half-hour or hour, this would free up more of the secretary’s time for other office duties in addition to putting more control in the hands of the customers.

There are many ways a pool builder could use their computer website in order to gain more traffic through the website and into their real-world brick-and-mortar location.
