I know people google me...and my number to find out if I'm "real" and where I live, etc. (can see the searches on my blog stats)
Same here! And we in turn google guests (or Facebook them)! Luckily there's lots of references to me to show I'm real :wink:

I agree, the first lesson I learned in Internet sales, is that you must make it easy for the customer to give you their money & the more methods of contact the better.

Obviously depends upon your market but we have had 2 B & B telephone bookings this afternoon.

Yes but that’s exactly what I am saying.

If you didn’t publicise your telephone number and if you insisted on being ex-directory you wouldn’t ever have received the two telephoned bookings.
