Help w Offering Visitors Choices

Hi there,

Here's my dilemma:

We have a currently popular services site, with decent PR that caters to a particular geographic area. We wish to open offices in 3 more geographic areas but we're not going to have a central hub for inquiries - each office will be the same company, but each will have its own separate phone numbers and contact information.

What we'd like to is keep the main website intact, and then have a drop-down or something that would offer first time visitors a choice of which office they wanted based on the geographic area they're calling from.

Will this affect the PR of the site, or otherwise dilute the rankings?

How would you recommend we do it? I see plenty of flash based drop-downs and flyovers but I have no clue how they effect the ranking/indexing of a site.

Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer in this regard....

Niall.

    did you want to show the 3 phone numbers and contacts in 1 main website ?
    you can use jquery lightbox to display the phone numbers and contacts, so it will stay in same web page.

    you can find the lightboxes for content here
    planetozh[dot]com/projects/lightbox-clones/

    filter it by "Can display inline elements"
    you will need to place the 3 contacts and phone numbers in 3 div
    and use lightbox to hide it, and show it after user click button

    it wont affect the ranking, because it only contains a few lines of paragraph.

    example :
    <a href="#saopaulo">sao paulo</a>
    <div class="light" id="#saopaulo">

    Contact : David <br/>
    Phone : 79023688 <br/>
    Email : saopaulo[at]yoursite.com

    </div>

    <a href="#rio">rio de janeiro</a>
    <div class="light" id="#rio">

    Contact : Paula <br/>
    Phone : 23534352 <br/>
    Email : riodejaneiro[at]yoursite.com

    </div>

    <a href="#curitiba">curitiba</a>
    <div class="light" id="#curitiba">

    Contact : Bruno <br/>
    Phone : 57456344 <br/>
    Email : curitiba[at]yoursite.com

    </div>

    hope it help

    Or just add normal text on your site, where your contact page is, just update it. It certainly will not affect your rankings.

    That's an interesting approach I hadn't thought of. thank you!

    @swtsubmit

    We wanted something a little "fancier" than simple text, but that may be the easiest option.


    thank you both.
