Although we make it very easy to find thousands of useful resources
worldwide directly through this website, we share further market knowledge
on request, and can quickly address many common project issues through our
research capabilities and personal networks of contacts.
We look forward to working with you - to grow your
business faster and better, anywhere.
We introduce
executives for free to local market knowledge and valuable professional
contacts as an independent global service through working relationships with
many :
- Top executives facing strategic choices about
where they will do business : where to establish, acquire, expand, move,
consolidate or
restructure their operations or alliances as markets and plans change.
These projects define the company's future structure.
- Economic development professionals representing
areas which are motivated to attract and retain growing companies.
See the Contacts
section for many examples.
- Professional service providers for direct
investment projects in North America, Europe, Asia or worldwide.
Highly experienced specialists work on such projects, because large
capital commitments and future performance risks are usually at stake.

may include databases or other content not indexed by Google. |

Expansion Management magazine, published by Penton
Media.
Subscriptions are easily arranged, since their advertisers want to reach
potential project decision-makers. A new reader response process has
been created to provide direct links for users to
the websites of advertisers, rather than the old "bingo card" reader service
process. There is also a new service to promote
real estate listings. |

Business Facilities magazine.
Their editorial content generally seems to be fairly advertorial in nature.
They offer a listing service for available buildings, but because of the way
their website is designed, Google can't crawl and index the content.
It only indexes their home page. |

Note that some
websites make extensive use of databases which are difficult for search
engines to process, because the user must define a query through a database
form to access dynamic
information, as opposed to a static web page which can be indexed. Some publishers also provide restricted
content which is only available to users who register or subscribe.
Once again, this means that such content is generally not searched.
Advertisers sometimes may not realize that Google won't find such content.
The content on this website such as regional economic
development directories, professional contacts, Area Profiles, Service Profiles, published
Survey responses, project announcements, property listings, research
sources, advertising and event information, and more have all been designed
with Google and other search engine processes in mind.
For example, our Ad Recall feature can make it easy to
find magazine ads in this niche by their content, and our Event Recall
feature can identify many trade show exhibitors relevant to this market.
This makes it easy for Google and other search
engines to find the relevant content that users are seeking on our website.
Users typically go directly to relevant pages, and then can easily navigate
to any other related content from there.
We also use online
advertising to attract
relevant users as they search for information to support their investment
plans anywhere in the world. Our current campaign reaches
approximately 3 million "ad impressions" per year (ad displayed on
the user's screen), mainly through Google search results associated with
very relevant keyword searches. |
