1. Get Matched Page & Form
The “Get Matched” form is used to have general inquiries come to the site directly to have matched to members that meet the criteria set by the website visitor. To put it simply, the website visitor is looking to be contacted by members on the website that are able to assist him/her.
This is a growing use of online directories. Rather than spending hours browsing the Internet to find businesses that can help, users can now fill a single form and have those businesses come to them!
If someone is looking for a carpenter in Detroit, send that inquiry to all of the members that are located in Detroit that have checked off “carpenter” as one of their specialties.
