John Davidson Joins CityLocal Franchises
Local business man John Davidson, who has had more than 47 years of experience in the financial services industry and lives in the local area has bought a CityLocal franchise. He is launching CityLocal Tunbridge Wells in January 2010 to help lift the profile of local businesses within Tunbridge Wells and put them in touch with their customers, the local public.
CityLocal is an online community platform and local business promotion site which has grown its franchises from its humble beginnings in April 2006 to having recently being awarded Company of the Year by Business and Industry Today.
Seven out of ten people looking for a local business start their search on an internet search engine. With over 130million hits on the website in 2009, CityLocal offers highly optimised business profiles for local businesses giving them the best opportunity to be found on the major internet search engines. This gives local businesses that extra competitive advantage and allows them to stand from their competitors with that crucial internet footprint.
John understands that in the current climate, local businesses need to be able to compete in an ever more aggressive market and being found easily is vital if they are to attract new local business. Simply having a website is no longer good enough, especially if it cannot be found. Businesses often spend thousands of pounds and countless hours and resources in obtaining this visibility and this can be a big task and an even bigger challenge. This is where John's services can be of great help and for a small fee, can really give local businesses that web presence at an incredibly affordable price.
With a strong business background, John has just sold his Financial Services Company, Davidson Downing Limited that he founded in 1984 to his good friend Trevor Downing. Together, they created one of the most complete Independent Financial Services Consultancies in Kent.
However, he is not ready to retire and spend more time on his other passions of golf, gardening and his home in the South of France and instead, has chosen to help local businesses with this exciting new franchise and business challenge.
Friends, colleagues and clients of John will know that honesty and integrity are characteristics he adhered to all his business and private life. John has spent the past 6 months working closely with the directors of CityLocal Head Office and they are confident that Tunbridge Wells will become one of their most influential Franchises.
