Create a paid call-in number for webmasters.
Not sure what the pricing would be, but I know there are several instances where I would have paid upwards of $200 for a straight answer from Google.

we got a similar call from a concerned mother who wanted to ban Bebo from her son’s home PC.

Dave I found myself many of times skimming phone numbers of the description snippet and not actually checking before calling. Cant say that I have got it wrong so far.

Might be a nice way to get some clients or even do a little bit of reasearch.

Seems funny that the user did not actually look at the display URL or even click through to your site to find he was incorrect.

You are right, people put too much trust in organic results. In fact, I only found Google Irelands number (Public line) at SMW when I asked for it off one of the googlers.

Side Effect of SEO Blogging

I had to add the disclaimer!

I don’t know if it applies in your case as well Bill, but it just amazes me that people search for something and then take the first result as being the truth.

Well at least now if I get any calls looking for Y!mail support I know where to send them :grin:

I’m not sure why they thought I was Yahoo’s email helpdesk. They weren’t too forthcoming with how they found my phone number and address. Though I did have a pleasant enough conversation with both callers once they realized that I wasn’t Yahoo.

But they normally know who they’re calling. I talked to this particular guy for a while because he was looking to use Adwords and really didn’t have a clue about the Internet.

I saw you gave me a nice mention on your photo blog – cheers for that! Meant to leave a comment but then got enthralled by the duck photo and had to read all about that. One of the best snaps I’ve seen in ages.

Do you get many phone calls from the site? I get the occasional person who emails and wants my phone number to get free MU consulting by phone but no fan calls, Mr Google :)
