Medical directories. Price Structures?

misc92 · 05-11-2012, 04:52 AM

Im going to be launching a group of medical directories, geographical niche based directories.

- They will be SEOed
- User friendly and well-designed

However im not sure how much should i charge per membership?

I have another problem... Lets say there are 50 dentists in the area, would u charge the same to each of them, considering only the first 10 or so listings will get massive exposure compared to the rest?

Im planning on purchasing a set of domains for each area as well.

Example
StateDentist/s.com/.net/.org/.info
AreaDentist/s.com/.net/.org/.info
Dentist/sState.com/.net/.org/.info
etc

I think it is a good business model, easily scalable, but what do you guys think?

Mainly about the prices and how much people should be allowed to appear on the directory...?

I think of it this way, users pay premium prices to SEO experts to rank number 1 on google because they understand the value of #1 position, wouldnt it be unfair to have 50 "dentists" from the same area paying the same price for positions in the second, third or forth page of your directory?

Look into the "Directory for Attorneys" called "FINDLAW"!

In most big cities these folks have attorneys paying an average of $1,000 A MONTH...to be IN their Directory.

"Findlaw" is basically just a "Directory" with Attorneys listed alphabetically. Their Directories DO however get TOP Billing for most KeyWords.

Check em out....see what they do for participants....then, apply the same to Dentists.

I believe MrRomeo (aka Marcos) made a reference in another forum about
calladoctor.net in which the owner was making bank on this referral site for local dr.'s in Atlanta. I believe he mentioned that each doc was paying about $150 but the ones that were premiered on the top of the page were paying around $900.
