The expansion of its groundbreaking platform across the nation has been announced today by creator of the next-generation local search engine GetFave.com (http://www.getfave.com ), Fave Media Inc. Giving consumers unprecedented insight into their neighborhood business community, GetFave.com delivers uncluttered, comprehensive business listings augmented with 30-60 second video commercials. Making it easy to find any product or service locally, the web site contains over 16 million business listings in all categories. GetFave.com delivers only relevant business search results, organized geographically to the user's specifications, by neighborhood, street intersection, address, zip code, or city.
Video is rapidly emerging as the key driver of consumer response in local search. Providing consumers with fun, educational information as they shop, Fave specializes in highly customized web video ads for businesses of all sizes. Consumers, after watching a video, are much more likely to act, either visiting the business's web site, emailing, calling, or responding to a special offer such as a coupon. Offering tremendous value to the business, Fave is able to effectively track and report consumer response.
Jeff Seymour, Co-Founder and Chairman, stated:
"We allow small enterprises to create a rich, dynamic message for their target audience, then ensure that interested consumers see their advertising." He adds: "Creating a solid web presence is all about relevance. The internet has surpassed all other methods for consumers to research local products and services, but the irrelevance of most web advertising favors companies with big budgets. Fave makes sure local businesses are not left behind."
The web site allows users to search by keyword and location to find businesses in the desired geography. Fave provides detailed information, such as hours of operation, phone number, maps and directions, address, web site, and keywords that describe the specialties of each business. The results are highlighted with banners, video, and special offers from Fave's advertisers. Through popular social networking sites, videos and business listings can be shared with friends.
