All Around the Home Revamps Their Matching Service For Contractors and Homeowners with Upgraded Website

January 20, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
Baltimore, MD—All Around the Home (AATH) has launched their new home improvement contractor directory website (http://www.allaroundthehome.com). Their new website is built to handle increased traffic and moves from targeting a regional to a national audience. The site includes a new and improved search feature with on-the-fly suggestion capabilities.

The new site offers homeowners the choice of doing a keyword search or using a drop-down list to select a category or region that meets their home improvement needs. The results include a list of contractors by home improvement category and region.

For example, look for a siding contractor in Montgomery County, MD using the site’s drop-down list.

Select:

• Category as ‘Siding’

• State as ‘Maryland’

• County as ‘Montgomery’

Results will include Colonial Contractors, a top windows and siding company serving all of Montgomery County, MD that has received over 76 awards listed at http://www.allaroundthehome.com/exterior/siding/md/montgomery/

Instead maybe what you have in mind is a new deck to be built before summer arrives. Homeowners can use the keyword search and type ‘new deck.’ Search results will give you a ‘decks, patios, and sunrooms’ category as well as a listing of the contractors who build decks.

Select:

• ‘Exterior-Decks, Patios & Sunrooms’

• ‘Washington DC’

If you are looking to add a deck, patio, or sunroom contractor in Washington DC, you would find Medallion Doors, Windows, and Patio Rooms, an award-winning contractor, specializing in exterior home improvements listed at http://www.allaroundthehome.com/exterior/decks/dc/washington/

All Around the Home is a trusted online home improvement contractor directory. As opposed to other online lead generation services, AATH puts the homeowners in charge, allowing them to decide what firms get their contact information and who contacts them.

Homeowners fill out a brief contact form including name, email address, and a short message the home improvement company they want to hear from immediately receives. No contact information is sent to any contractor other than the contractor the homeowner elects to contact. If that is not fast enough, homeowners can type in their contact information, and view the company’s phone number to call the company instantly.

The website also features a special client section for the contractors listed on the website. Clients can view and track their lead history, separate email and phone requests for their services, and change or update their contact information instantly. Contractor rates to join the site can range from $100 to $500 per month and membership includes a profile on the site as well as PR and web marketing services to supplement their listing on the site.

"With such a high return on investment, I think the company is great! We have invested the same amount of money with them since we started and every month we get more and more leads and our return on investment steadily increases." says Ross Ehudin, whose company is a client of All Around the Home.
