What does that mean? Simply put, we want to give users the very best experience ensuring they spend time browsing and ensuring your business has the very best chance of being found.

We do this by creating information rich listing presented beautifully. We check all new listings and do not approve them until they’re thoroughly checked, we have broken link monitoring and our staff work tirelessly to ensure quality.

Quality content and a robust architecture means that listings are ranked higher in the mighty Google. A listing in GAUK Boats may even get a higher ranking than your own site. (Not guaranteed)

All this goes a long way to helping in these unprecedented times.

GAUK Boats’ IntelliSense based search is the next-generation archive search system giving instant live suggestions for keywords, categories, listing name, and even in combinations (tags in category). The Location search is City (region) based. Cities can be added manually or automated with Google Maps.

In addition, when a user searches for something it can also take them to an archived page with all the listings containing the most relevant data according to their search, giving them the best possible results. The advanced search algorithm is designed from ground-up to dramatically change the behavior based on the way the directory admin has configured the settings in Theme Options.

For example, the search can be either static, were if the user type in car, only the listing that has the word car in it will show, or have your search more dynamic were if user type in the word car they can get listings that also have words such as auto, automobile, workshop, etc.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”SPECIAL OFFERS AND ADVERTS” tab_id=”1593132975963-e6b681ed-055d”][vc_column_text]GAUK Boats includes a very comprehensive built-in Ads system that allows business owners to generate more leads with targeted listing ads that are displayed in various different prime spots throughout the directory to maximize conversions. There are three primary options to show the ads on the various locations, which are Spotlight Ads, Top of Search Ads and Sidebar Ads.

Targeted Advertising

When a business owner runs an Ad campaign to promote their listing, their listing is displayed as an ad on top of the organic results to customers searching for a specific category, tag (keyword) or feature in a specific location.

Maximize Eyeballs

The more eyeballs translate to high-conversion. Ads can be displayed on the home page or inner pages, listing details sidebar and of course in the search result above the organic results.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”ADVANCED INSTA-FILTER” tab_id=”1593138015254-e3e8d08b-aff6″][vc_column_text]
