Fiona Bruce MP recently met with Peter Clowes and Cathy Dean of IBD Internet Business Directory to hear how they had become number one internet business directory in the UK and top of the international Google search!
Peter Clowes started building the website for his business in 2003 and is now on his 3rd re-design. He says “what marks out this business directory from others is that whilst others base their directories on category, IBD is based on geography so customers can quickly find the business they want, which is near to them. Businesses can decide whether they wish to advertise their services Locally, Regionally or Nationally. One of the most unique things about IBD is that it designs an individual advert for each business with its own web address so that visitors do not have to visit IBD to find a business but will find it in the search engine. Furthermore, these adverts come with no third party advertising at all.”
IBD is a Congleton based, family run business with Peter Clowes and his two daughters Cathy Dean and Jackie Moss taking the helm. A quick Google.co.uk search for – internet business directory - shows that IBD is the top result!
Fiona Bruce MP said “It is wonderful to see a local, family run business achieving such success – a real example of local enterprise. Congratulations to Peter and his daughters on their accomplishment.”
Peter and his daughter Cathy are also Area Leaders for 4 Networking, helping to support 7 groups between them, covering Alsager, Buxton, Congleton, Crewe, Glossop, Matlock and Trentham.
