MTE FAQ's + Answers

Over the last few weeks Meet The Elite has received questions regarding our member profiles. The basic theme has been “How Do I Improve My Profile?” or “How Do I Attract Clients?”. Below you will find some insight on how the site works and some basic tips to improve your profile.

Search Engines - Your Profile Gets Indexed
Many MTE members don’t realize that 50% of the traffic that visits their profile comes via search engines (Yahoo, Google, MSN, etc). Every few days the search engines scan your profile indexing its data. When a potential client uses the search engine, it is possible your profile could come up as a search result, depending on the search “words’ they use. It takes roughly 2 to 4 weeks for your profile to get indexed once it’s created.

Example: Go to http://www.google.com/ and type in the name “Devin Whitt” you will see Devin’s MTE profile is one of the top search results.

Profile Tips

Create an article
Articles are also indexed with the search engines. With articles you can either upload a PDF or type text. The best articles are written by you about something you are in expert in or include marketing material you have uploaded that promotes your firm. Either way it makes your profile look a lot more impressive and alive.

Biography Section
Many members do not take advantage of the Biography Area. It makes your profile look complete plus gives some insight on you and your firm. If you want you can copy and paste pictures or detailed information from your firms website into this section.

A Call to Action
If you want to convert potential clients who view your profile to actual interested calls or emails. Then you need to have a call to action on your profile. In a simple way you have to tell them how to get started. Some of the best profiles use the “Articles” or the “Biography” area to maximize this. A simple phone # in your slogan can make all the difference.

How do I become the “Daily Featured Profile?”
Only profiles with a picture, complete basic data and biography will be selected as the featured daily profile.
