About Business Affiliates Program
"Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted. The trouble is I don't know which half."
A big pain point for businesses is that it is difficult to target the right customers and measure the return on marketing dollars. This is especially true for local service businesses since they highly rely on word-of-mouth referrals. Wouldn't it be great to -
- advertise to only those consumers who are ready to buy or hire so your ad feels like a service?
- pay only for the performance that you expect from the leads for your business?
- be certified as a trusted affiliate and stand out among your competitors?
For local service businesses, CircleChoice provides targeted online marketing and serves as an amplifier and accelerator for word-of-mouth referrals. You do a great job on your service and let us help you spread the words! A recent study by comScore and Kelsey reveals that "online consumer-generated reviews have significant impact on offline purchase behavior" - 24% of online local service review users purchase service. This is by far the most effective way of marketing for local services.
You can read reviews on us too. If this makes sense to you, please read on more details about our no-risk Business Affiliates Program, a Pay-for-Performance mechanism for our Certified Affiliates only.
