SYSTEM REPORTING FEATURE


SYSTEM REPORTING
​The Traffic Catcher System (TCS) tracks visits from the Member Directory that are generated from the Area Search Engine and traditional search engines like Google.

Reporting is available to members in order for them to see how many times their information has been viewed or accessed. It also enables the member to see what people are searching for in the local community and finding (or not). If the list of "not found" search results match what the member offers, they may adjust their search keywords so that the next time that search will be matched with the member business.

When you are a premium member, the Traffic Catcher System tracks not only the clicks, but actual views of your site. In the marketing catalogs, viewers can vote on which products or services they like the most. Data like this is useful when making wise advertising decisions.

SUBMISSION FEATURES

All submissions are sent to the organization to be approved before published to the community website.
