The dLook Monthly Statistic report now captures three key indicators to your page performance.

• Visitors
• Leads
• Conversions

The Monthly Statistics Report shows the cumulative data for the month, you can see daily results by logging into your dashboard.

Visitors

Visitors displays the number of users that landed on your dLook premium listing.

Leads

Leads capture the number of clicks that your landing page have generated, either to your website, your Facebook page or, in the case of no website available, we may direct to your dLook quote request feature.

Conversions

A conversion is affected when a user clicks to call your phone number. Enabling customers to automatically select your number and call you is the best conversion we can achieve.

Your landing page is promoted throughout our category pages, vertical quote sites and much more, so you may achieve leads and conversions without a customer ever coming to your landing page – launching from our category pages or quote request feature.

A more complete explanation is available in the Resource Centre of your online dLook dashboard.

If you have any further questions please email info@dlook.com.au.

If You Are Reading This

Ok, well 21 December came and went. In fact I wasn’t sure whether to write this post, after all dLook, like the rest of the world, was due to be obliterated.

Maybe not the end of the world, but it is the end of the year.

dLook 2012

dLook has experienced its best year ever. Huge increases in traffic, best performing pages and a year of significant innovation.

We’ve grown our YouTube channel to just short of a 1,000 customer videos, we’ve created 100′s of websites and 1000′s of branding pages, we’ve seen more page 1 results that ever before and Google is permanently caching our website with a bot virtually resident for every new change.

2013 … It’s Exciting

dLook is excited about next year – a year where all of our hard work in developing new products, improved features and extensive resource material can be consolidated to deliver the best performances yet.

We have huge plans for next year and are confident that dLook premium customers are in for some positive surprises.

Thank you for all your support in 2012 and for making dLook one of Australia’s largest websites and best performing directories.
