Page Improvement Examples
The following are some examples of things that can be done with your DomainPage on AboutUs to make it more useful in promoting your company. Thousands of pages are edited here every day, and if you'd like help from our professional designers and wiki coaches please select the "promote my page" button on the top of this screen.
List your services and/or products
Example: American Financial Services
The DomainPage for American Financial Services makes great use of one of the simple, effective ways that an AboutUs page can promote you: a comprehensive and crystal-clear summary of what makes your company great and how you work. A concise summary of your services and abilities draws in your optimal customer base.
Give helpful address and contact information
Example: Powell's City of Books
Powell's City of Books in Portland, Oregon provides the location information for their regional chain of bookstores with directory listings for all their major locations.
Their AboutUs page distills their network of retail locations in to a format that is editable by them and easily accessible to customers seeking their preferred location.
Increase wiki linking
Example: Webshots.com
Here Webshots.com has used the unique power of wiki linking to build the web between their site and parent and sister companies. Making the connections between sites and topics, both in and outside your company, is one the most potent ways of promoting your company with AboutUs.
Add some history
Example: Amber Jewelry
By fleshing out your company's history like Amber Jewelry has done, you can add engaging depth to the content of your page on AboutUs. Providing readers and potential customers with a timeline of your development captures their interest and provides reason for more surfing, on and off AboutUs.org
Upload a logo
Example: Oregon Bioscience Association
The Oregon Bioscience Association takes advantage of one of the easiest boosts to your company's AboutUs page, uploading a logo. Take charge and identify your wiki page on AboutUs with the logo of your choice.
Upload media
Example: General Finishes
To promote their company, General Finishes combines the power of multiple Web 2.0 technologies by uploading video and images, in this case with AboutUs.org's innovative video embedding. With the fast, simple video support tool General Finishes has made their YouTube upload visible to AboutUs readers, making their page a more fun and web-savvy experience for visitors.
Provide a portfolio of past clients
Example: 3 Hound Web Design
3 Hound Web Design includes an image display of recent design clients. Whether in words or images, a portfolio or list of past clients can demonstrate the virtues of your company's approach to the products or sevices you provide.
Convey what makes your site and company unique
Example: Areas of my Expertise
The AboutUs page for the Areas of my Expertise humor compendium by author John Hodgman adds comic flair with words and images. By injecting the unique character of your site into your space on AboutUs, you can use the look and feel of your site to further promote your company with AboutUs.
Add reviews and tesitimonials
Example: Hickox Studio
Including testimonials and customer reviews, like Hickox Studio has done, can be a great addition to your AboutUs page. While drawing in testimonials and reviews from within AboutUs depends on the interest and involvement of an independent community, adding content already available to your company through communication with customers and independent media is a huge boost to your visibility and credibility.
