Fountain Valley, California – May 11, 2010. Relevant Ads, a leading local search engine optimization company, announced today that its Local Splash product now includes a free domain name specific to each local business. Called the “Local Splash Custom Web Address” (CWA), it is a domain name that combines a product or service description with a geographic target area. For example, a plumber in Irvine, CA might get the Custom Web Address www. PlumberInIrvine.com, and a carpet cleaning company in New York, NY might get www.CarpetCleaningInNewYorkNY.com.

“The product enhancement will allow Local Splash to dramatically improve our offerings for businesses without websites, and those with websites that want their search results boosted,” said David Rodecker, Founder and CTO of Relevant Ads. “It’s an important ‘next step’ in our continued product leadership in the local, organic search field,” added Rodecker.

Because the product/service offering and geographic area are included in the domain name, CWA listings will see significant improvements in their search engine rankings, including the all-important Google Ranking. “Many search engines, including Google, like to see a URL or domain name that exactly matches certain terms in the search query. That’s the main idea behind the Custom Web Address,” Rodecker says. “And the domain name will also be a good marketing tool.”

Each CWA includes a 4-page website filled with unique, keyword-dense content and professional graphics. Critical information such as company description, product and service information, and a contact page are included, along with integration into sites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Yelp, and Merchant Circle.

By combining a traditional website with newer, Web 2.0 platforms, the CWA provides businesses with a sure-fire method to improve their search engine ranking and their visibility on the Internet. The CWA is included free in all Local Splash products, which start at $159 per month.

Relevant Ads CEO Steve Yeich is very enthusiastic about the new CWA, saying “Our customers range from national chains and franchises to local attorneys, plumbers, electricians, and other service providers who look to us for their online marketing. This enhancement is the natural next step to establishing or expanding their web presence. We get our clients listed in local search results—maps and local organic results—and now we’ve got another tool to push our client’s even further up in the rankings. It’s technology innovation like this that allows us to offer—and stand behind—the Local Splash performance guarantee. Having the confidence to back our products with a guarantee really sets us apart from other companies in this industry—this is a big reason why so many customers choose us, and stay with us.”

Fountain Valley, California, September 1, 2009 – Relevant Ads, Inc.’s CEO and Founder, David Rodecker, announced today that they will utilize Google’s Affiliate Program to attract local SEO affiliates and expand their customer base.

“We were very excited to be accepted into the Google Affiliate Network.

The Google Affiliate Network connects quality products with individuals, bloggers and website publishers so that they can successfully increase sales. The LocalSplash product line will is now available to approved publishers in the Google Affiliate Network. Together, Relevant Ads and the Google Affiliate Network will bring cost effective internet adverting solutions to local businesses nationwide.

Our LocalSplash products increase Internet exposure for local businesses and engage customers at the time they are ready to buy.” Rodecker points out the importance of having an effective Internet presence: “Hardly anybody is picking up the yellow pages when they need a plumber and they aren’t writing down phone numbers when a radio commercial comes on for a computer repair man. Instead, they are simply typing in ‘Plumber’ or ‘Computer Repair’ into Google; and then they instantly have the best options to choose from.”

Released earlier this year, the LocalSplash product line specializes in getting companies into the top 10 results. Relevant Ads is very happy with the performance of LocalSplash thus far and even more excited to see the expansion of their business via the Google Affiliate Network.
