Here at JASPER Websites, you are not just a client. I've been in many of your shops across the nation and we have built relationships with you as well over the years. That is why we are always bringing NEW Ideas to the table to help you grow.
A. Increase Fleet Repairs. Consider increasing fleet work at the shop in several ways!
- You may even offer to pick up their vehicles OR take the repair service to their shops. Options can be to schedule the work out over the course of a couple of weeks and if the cash flow is a problem for the customer, then consider signing them up for cbCharge and get paid the next day!
- Consider adding rotating Saturdays for fleet work to be done at the customer's convenience!
- Put together a schedule for deferred maintenance for the fleet customer "Based on Driving Habits vs. Number of Months" and keep records of each vehicle. It will vary.
B. 24-Hr Drop Form. Our websites offer a 24-hour drop form on them. It saves time and can be customized to fit your needs. The added information it provides AND the amount of time discussing the problem either in the shop or on the phone eliminated is the Number One Compliment we receive!
C. Uber or Lyft vs. Shuttle Service! Many shops are saving time, manpower, insurance, vehicle & maintenance costs by using Uber or Lyft to take their customers home or work when they drop off their vehicles. They are finding those customers don't expect a ride back to the shop!
D. Shop Cell Phone. Customers will answer a text vs. a phone call.....it is a fact! A shop cell phone can be used to text customers information on their vehicle and requests for approval on needed repairs with photos regarding said repairs. Saves Time. Increases Productivity. How many times have you waited hours for an answer and/or approval to get back to work?

We are heartbroken to hear about the tornados that have affected Nashville and the surrounding areas. This hits close to home for several on our team here as we have family and friends in the area as well as a love for this beautiful city. Our team purchased these shirts from Shop Local KY to show our support. 100% of proceeds went to the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee for the Middle Tennessee Emergency Response Fund. Our thoughts and prayers are still with this beautiful city and those affected by the tragedy.
Marion Miller, our CEO and owner here at Complete Marketing Resources, Inc. and JASPER Websites by CMR had the privilege to sit down with Tim Thomas for the Hopkins County Regional Chamber of Commerce Business Spotlight. During the brief interview, you can hear Marion reflect on why she started this company and how it got to where it is today. Of course, there was a lot of talk about our new building as well and the plans for it going forward. Exciting things are happening around here, be sure to listen to the interview so you can hear all about it!
First batch of Mobile First Indexing by Google started March 26, 2018 and the fourth batch of notices went through May 27, 2018. Notifications that websites have been moved over to the mobile-first index which means the Googlebot will now use the "Mobile Version" of your website for indexing and ranking. Goggle's crawling, indexing, and ranking systems had been using your desktop website information for anyone searching by desktop to return search results which can differ for those who have an alternative "mobile version" for mobile visitors. Typically you will notice this when you see View Desktop Version or View Full Website Link on the bottom of your mobile view. You also note that your website address reflect the letter m in front of it when viewing it on a mobile device.
What does that mean for those who do not have a responsive website or have an "mobile version" of their website? How does that affect you?
1. Those searching by desktop will still get your desktop website version - those searching mobile will still get your mobile version.
2. The search results, ranking and information however will be based on the information gained from using the information on your MOBILE Website version.
3. There will be ONE index vs. two previously if you had two versions of your website.
4. If you do not have a responsive website that is fully mobile just the desktop do not worry, this is only about how they gather information not how you rank. Ranking is still about content - content - content first then other factors such as how your business looks online as a whole and is your website responsive (i.e. mobile friendly) as well as how fast it loads.
