See our October 2008
analysis of the interests of our visitors.
Our websites, in just 3 years, have grown to
attract 45,000+ visitors per month - more than some
popular magazines in this niche which have been widely distributed for
decades.

We can also do sponsored research in target markets.
This can support the marketing of a business location or professional
service.
Ads can appear on the regional or state PR or search
results and directory pages as very relevant pages for featuring business
locations or services.
We don't
offer rotating, run-of-site banners to appear on all pages, whether relevant
to the content or not. Instead, we place fixed ads on pages which are
designed to attract very well-qualified prospects.
Custom search tools can draw relevant visitors back repeatedly
because project teams and their professional advisors typically have to search for many
different types of information
in multiple locations.
For example, a visitor who is researching
Florida for a project is likely to use the
Florida Search tool repeatedly,
or even add it to an iGoogle home page for quick reference at any time.
The same is true of other US regions and
states, or countries like Canada
and Mexico.

Ask us about special advertising offers
The costs to advertise through our websites and to share
more detailed content about specific business locations or professional
services are very low because this business was designed from the start to
lower such marketing costs while making it much easier for executives to
find what they are seeking.
We don't have the overheads of producing and distributing
millions of glossy magazine pages at advertiser expense.
The value to a company, service provider, or community can
be very high by rapidly introducing very relevant contacts to each other to
do business together on corporate expansion projects plans. That is
our focus - making business connections, not producing paper. This
unique business serves as an independent "concierge" referral
service and niche online community or marketplace to enable executives to
plan and develop expansion projects faster and better. |

openly here. |

The extensive reference information which is
shared through
www.gdi-solutions.com and the more selective business location
research tools at
www.OnTheShortList.com are entirely FREE as a service to our
visitors, such as
senior executives and their advisors.
There are some additional services which we offer for a
small fee to share more valuable information about leading business locations or
service providers. These executive summary
presentations are designed to be very easy to find when relevant to
project plans.
Such work together enables visitors to quickly find the
contacts they need for their projects, even without asking for our direct
assistance.
Our low advertising fees enable us to sustain the
extensive market research work behind this unique service, including large
networks of personal contacts to maintain timely market knowledge and
