| I already have a web site. Why do I need EQ? |
| |
ExclusiveQuest will drive more traffic to your site! Through a combination of sponsored (paid) links and search engine optimization, ExclusiveQuest guides always achieve a substantial page one presence on major search engines. |
|
| What are the main advantages of online advertising vs. print? |
| |
The most important is that the people you are trying to reach are online, not reading newspapers or magazines. In fact, 80 percent of prospective home buyers begin their search on the Internet. Other advantages:
• You can change your ad immediately if the property you’re offering sells.
• You can target your audience much more precisely.
• With ExclusiveQuest, you can add audio to your message.

|
| What is a pre-recorded audio clip? |
| |
A pre-recorded audio clip is an MP3 or .wav file. MP3 is the file type for the tunes or podcasts that an iPod plays, and .wav files are a common file type that Microsoft products use for music and other audio. You can upload any of these files to U Have Audio using the “Upload pre-recorded audio clip” button at the SPECIAL FEATURES tab. |
|
| Do I have to download any software? |
| |
No. |
| How do you manage to get page one presence with the search engines? |
| |
Through a combination of search engine optimization and, when necessary, paid links. |
| How is ExclusiveQuest different from putting my own ad on Google or one of the other search engines? |
| |
There are three main differences.
• You get substantial presence on all the major search engines, not just one.
• You waste zero time on administration.
• Your results will be roughly double what they would be if you spent the same amount of money advertising on your own. |

The ads rotate their positions each time someone visits a particular local real estate guide, so all participants receive exactly the same exposure. |
|
| Can I pay more to get additional exposure? |
| |
ExclusiveQuest real estate guides are designed so that every participant’s ad gets equal exposure. You can, however, buy two ads, or place an ad in a different local guide. Both of these strategies would result in more exposure. |

You can sign up for one month, three months, six months or a year. There are discounts when you sign up for a longer period of time. |

Your ad will appear the first day of the next month after you’ve signed up. For example, if you sign up on August 17, your add will first appear on September 1. |
| How long will the ad run? |
| |
Your ad will run until the term of your subscription runs out, or until you substitute a new ad, whichever comes first. |
| Are there any referral fees? |
| |
No. |
| How do I cancel if I don’t want to continue with the service? |
| |
You can cancel using the Subscription tab in the My Account section. We require 20 days notice, i.e. by the 10th of the current month to cancel for the upcoming month if you’re on a month-to-month basis. |

|
| Do you offer any graphic design services? |
| |
Sorry, we don’t. |

| |
As many as 15. |
| How soon can I start uploading my information? |
| |
You can start immediately, although your ad won’t start running until the first day of the next month. But – IMPORTANT – you do have instant access to all the U Have Audio features, so you can start creating and sending audio Email messages, Ecards and podcasts right away. |
| What if the house I’m featuring sells? Can I change my ad? |
| |
Yes. You can change your ad as many times as you like during your subscription period. |
 |
| |

|
| What are the benefits of adding audio to my ad? |
| |
Adding your own voice to an ad makes it more personal and more persuasive. It’s a way of beginning the client relationship before you even meet. In addition, scientific studies have shown that the human voice attracts attention. |
|

| |
No, it’s completely free as long as you’re an advertiser in an ExclusiveQuest online real estate guide. |
|

You dial a toll-free number, enter the appropriate ID code, and then simply speak, as though you were recording a voice mail message. The audio clip is automatically linked to your ad based on the ID code. |
|
| How do I change an audio message linked to a particular image? |
| |
You dial the toll-free number, use the ID number associated with the image, and then record a new message. (The old one will be saved.) |
| What is an audio Ecard? |
| |
An audio Ecard is an “Email postcard” with photos and an attached audio clip. |
| Once I attach an audio message to an image, can I change it? |
| |
You can’t change an audio clip once you’ve recorded it, but you can easily replace one clip with another. |
| How do I create a monthly podcast? |
| |
You use the same method you would for recording an audio clip. |
