IBD Internet Business Directory
Testimonials
Fred Epton, Managing Director A & E Garage Equipment Ltd. Stoke on Trent
I took out a National advert with IBD as my company fits two post and four post garage lifts all over the Country. At one point I complained to IBD, I said "do you realise that advert of mine is working too well - I have just sent two men right up to the North of Scotland!"
On a more serious note though, I would not hesitate to recommend IBD to any business if the search results I enjoy are anything to go by. What really matters though is the bottom line, we get real enquiries that turn into orders - I estimate that my business has doubled due to enquiries generated through my web sites and my pages on IBD.

Tim Hope of T. Hope Tree Surgeons Congleton
I have three pages on IBD, and after about 18 months I now get more business from the Internet than all my other forms of advertising put together. I know this because I always ask where new customers found me, and I have now started asking what search engine they used, and what search phrase. I had an enquiry for felling a tree in Holmes Chapel - this one job alone more than paid for my yearly subscription to IBD.
As far as I am concerned, IBD is tremendous value for money and would advise anyone who wants to grow their business to talk to IBD.
To confirm the above comments are indeed from Mr. Hope, or to enquire about his Tree Surgery, Fencing or Garden Maintenance services, he can be contacted on 07932-985 240.

I asked Pete at IBD to get my business up the Google rankings. He asked a few questions, then asked for my most important keywords and said ok, let's see what we can do, it will take maybe a couple of months before you start to appear in the search results. Never having been renowned for my patience, I was chasing Pete after a couple of weeks! Anyway, he called me a week later to tell me we were page one Google for office storage Staffordshire - I was over the moon, so well done to Pete and IBD, thanks very much.
In fact, I was so pleased I introduced Pete to Paul Weston from Profile Builder and produced the video testimonial below:

Jason Farr of Farrout Trading, Custom Paintwork & Plastic Welding
I have renewed my subscription to IBD for the third year running because IBD generates genuine enquiries that turn into work. The latest job to come in is a jet-ski for refurbishment and customised paintwork. As long as IBD generates work for my business, I shall continue my subscription - I would be foolish not to.
Jeff McNeill, Director of JB McNeill Garage Equipment, Newry in Northern Ireland
I asked IBD to build me a web site that would be found all over Ireland when people searched for my companies products in major search engines. The results could not be better, and this was achieved without trying to cheat the search engines, and took just a few short weeks.
For example, search Yahoo.co.uk for toolboxes or trolley jacks in any Irish County or any reasonable sized Town in Ireland and either my own web site or my IBD page - or both - is found. I would advise any business who would benefit from Internet advertising to use IBD.
An unexpected bonus - my original web site was not found too well in the major search engines, but is now very highly ranked thanks to being linked to IBD.
Andrew at Bellboy Print, Colour Digital Printers
IBD works - I get enquiries and business from it. At one point I did not do too well in Google, but was number one, page one, in yahoo.co.uk for - colour printers congleton. I guess this means that you do not have to be first page Google for the Internet to work for you.
