July 19, 2006 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Web hosting provider Aplus.net has announced it is adding a business locator tool to its suite of services. The purpose of the tool is to enable companies to provide details of their locations on their websites.
“Aplus.Net is always looking for ways to improve the effectiveness of our customers’ websites. Our Business Locator Tool fulfills this commitment by giving visitors an easily accessible, highly visible map to their store location,” suggested Ivan Vachovsky, CEO and President of Aplus.Net. “For those business owners whose websites are the online representatives of their actual brick-and-mortar store, this is an essential tool. After all, customers need to know how to find you—if they can’t, your efforts in building a successful website are in vain. Don’t assume that they’ll search for your location; they’re just as likely to move on to the competition’s website.”
The high-quality maps utilized by Aplus.Net’s Business Locator Tool are provided by Google and the system offers a user-friendly interface with “drag-and-drop” functionality. The system also offers a Knowledge Base which “walks users through the simple steps needed to access the feature”. Users are able to change the size, look and feel of a map depending on the needs of their website. The tool currently only caters for business in the United States.
