Hello People
Hopefully quite a simple one this?
How much does Scoot charge for the following paid listings?
Scoot Connect - premium listing
Scoot Publish - enhanced listing
Scoot Basic - basic listing.

They don't put their prices on the site, surprise surprise, and i don't want to tell them my life storey on the contact form, to find out. Plus I will have some nasty sales person ringing up everyday!

Thanks

Adam

I believe the basic listing is £200 / year.

Not worth even thinking about unless you have paid everyone else first.

I would even rate AskAlix higher than Scoot.

Thanks Ian, don't worry I was not considering it I was just being nosey. Have you ever tried Ask Alix?

Only the basic non-linked listings. They actually provide results into some reasonably big SEs - if you phone them up they will tell you about it (I can't remember exactly who offhand)

18 months ago we were new to web-marketing and naively signed up for Scoot.
We should have checked out who was in their existing listings first.
200 quid inclusion fee, .50p for a non-relevant telephone referral followed by another .50p for the same non-relevant direct dial referral. 25p for click-through.
Scoot? Thankfully that's exactly what we did, got out in the seven day cool off period.

Yes, I paid the money to test it. I'd have got a lot better results blowing the dough on an evening out :)

Better late than never - AskAlix provide results to Asserta Homes, Freeserve ClearlyBusiness, Dun & Bradstreet, 192 directory & a number of other sites.

Basic listings are free and quick to go on, but beware the sales pitch!
