Business Magnet relies on customers who aren’t sure where their inquiries originate.

There are fees to list on Magnet, and many customers blindly renew them year after year.

Magnet will provide data that shows page views as well as clicks to customer websites.

They don’t seem to have the technology necessary to verify the dates and times of clicks.

This is a strange thing for a company that has financial resources

We can track clicks to a customer’s website within A1WebStats (from any source including Business Magnet).

  • The number of clicks received from Magnet during a given time period.
  • After landing, what each clicker looked at on the site.
  • Our figures are significantly different from what Business Magnet claims.

The conversation Changes

Magnet will now focus on the benefits and how many people can find it via Google searches. This ultimately leads to them clicking through to their customer websites.

Although it sounds great, there is no SEO benefit to having a larger profile on Business Magnet. However, Google isn’t as interested in their website as they claim.

  • It’s actually quite disgusting!
  • Here’s where the real test begins.
  • The test Google.
  • You can search for products that are related to what you sell, such as red widgets.
  • Browse the search results.
  • Are you noticing Business Magnet pages prominently appearing in search results?
  • We suspect not.
  • The reality is that even though you pay to be on Magnet you won’t be easily found via a Google search.
