Low effort appraisers

A professional website absolutely does matter as does a web presence. It's 2025; I'm 100% correct on this stance.
Undecided if the purpose of this thread was for you to sell something or to win an internet argument for the day. Condescending thread title could support the latter as I don't think it would help make a sale.

A website is necessary for private work. People google things like "divorce appraiser near me". If you don't show up in the top ten and your competitor does, they get the gig. Ditto for investors, lawyers, estate - all of them search.
No, sorry. You can show up in google search without website. Maybe helpful to some, though. This probably depends on your niche in the market you serve.

I think a more significant benefit of appraisal websites I've observed are those that answer a variety of FAQs that you could direct new clients to, rather than waste time answering the same basic questions on the phone each time. Same with "Appraisal Request" fields that get a potential customer to fill in some basic details to have a conversation later about. Sometimes, though, the initial inquiry calls are so brief (with them calling every listing in the virtual phone book) with minimal info given that I think filling out the forms may deter some folks until they conversate and you can build a little trust with them. That has probably secured more jobs than my snakeoilappraiser69@yahoo.com email address, anyways.
 
Bullseye@yahoo.com *** Faster than you can say we need a minimum of $1 million to make the deal work. In 35 years we've never missed and our staff's never seen a number they didn't like. Lol
 
You sound MAGA...at least in the chauvinistic way.
Not MAGA..... I just don't like to be disrespected and walked all over like a rug.

I show my wife the utmost respect and hold her in high regard. I'm a romantic and I dote over her at times. That said...I'm not uxorious like you are. Show some backbone and give it back if she disrespects you.... she'll admire you more for doing so.....
 
I kinda miss my old motorola phone. I have a website and a professional email address but honestly I get about 1-5 inquiries a year from the general public which is fine with me. Most of my business comes from people that already have my info.
You must be doing something right if you can afford that particular amp and guitar setup :cool:
 
Interesting, my SEO tool didn't show many keywords (2 which is surprising - and pretty far back in the Position - under 20 is where you want to be). The site seems to have plenty of content, maybe it's not indexing correctly on Google. Or perhaps there's a routing issue - I see /wpadmin everywhere which I don't think should be showing up. Instead of routes like https://www.roxnoil.com/wpadmin/index.php/mineral-right-tips-for-appraisers they should look more like "https://www.roxnoil.com/mineral-right-tips-for-appraisers", so I'd try to figure out how to do that (I'm not that familier with wordpress):

Also, I ran it through Perplexity Researcher (which also picks up on the admin url being visible - I bet that's keeping Google from indexing you) - here's the thread: https://www.perplexity.AI/search/please-evaluate-this-appraiser-lqMoLAngQVma_ECWTwFDFg (you'll have to copy and paste this, for some reason AF upcases the AI.

Hopeful that's insightful.

The "happy wife happy life" idiom is a fantasy.

Women need to know that you'll protect them, won't take sh*t, and are assertive and confident. They "like" being put in their place. That doesn't mean you slap them around, or be rude and not be romantic.... once you figure this out it'll be a lot easier for you.

Next time your wife yells at you for something you did, especially if it wasn't your fault, give it back to her and make her apologize to you in an aggressive and assertive manner. After you accept her apology, she'll be lovey-dovey for the rest of the day.....

I didn't create the image below.....it's just the way it is.
