07/08/2008 - 1 million web hits for SimplyBiz member firms

Adviser firms using the SimplyBiz website service have reached 1,000,000 web hits per year.

The Huddersfield based provider of compliance and business support launched the ‘Simply Sites’ initiative in March 2007 and have already provided over 600 of their member firms with this free service. A delivery rate of over 40 unique sites per month. Pre-empting the current industry focus on TCF, SimplyBiz offered each of their member firms an individually designed website to match existing branding – with approved wording ready to upload in order to reduce the time and hassle that can sometimes dissuade advisers from having a site at all.

The combined number of hits on the ‘Simply Sites’ reached 100,000 in June alone, and a built-in functionality allowing advisers to track the number of hits to each area of their site enables them to review and plan service delivery to their clients. Recent figures show that hits to the ‘Mortgage’ and ‘Protection’ pages of advisers’ sites have risen dramatically in recent months, with more than 45% of the total number of hits occurring in these areas.

Neil Stevens, Operations Director of SimplyBiz, commented:

“The addition of interactive features including news feeds, full tracking and management facilities and an easy to use ‘Client Survey’ tool that enables tracking of TCF outcomes has really captured the imagination of advisers. We believe that a website is an invaluable method for advisers in keeping in touch with their clients – both existing and prospective – and are delighted that we are able to offer this as a free benefit to our member firms. Simply Sites is a useful and practical solution and we can see from the number of hits to our members’ sites that it has also been a successful one.”

Popular features of the Simply Sites include the ability to write content which will be compliance approved by SimplyBiz before going live on the site and a built-in RSS feed, providing live news updates and journalistic content. It is planned to integrate financial calculators, best-buy tables and a lead generation facility before the end of the year.
