My search results aren’t exactly what I’m looking for, why is this?
Using keywords can return business listings or article listings from a range of categories. For example searching on keywords “energy efficient” could generate results from business categories electrician, solar or kitchens. To narrow your results include a category, more keywords or be more specific.
Using multiple keywords will give you better results. The results listed will be in order of relevance with those matching all keywords appearing first and those matching only one keyword or ONLY the category selected appearing last.
Why aren’t there any businesses matched to my search?
Why don’t my results match the location I entered?
Peninsula Living Online attempts to match your search location however if there are no businesses found in this location our database search is expanded to include the shire and then the rest of the Northern Beaches.
Sometimes the same business comes up more than once, why is this?
This can happen when you are searching by keywords. When searching on keywords the business listing and any associated Secondary Articles are searched and hence both may appear in search results.
What are Secondary Articles?
Businesses are encouraged to provide comprehensive information specific to various parts of their business. This allows the online user to click and read about these services and products if of interest. The Secondary articles are found in the right margin of the businesses listing.
Why is a free listing above a paid listing?
Peninsula Living Online attempts to provide the online user with the most relevant search results. This means that when searching by keywords and / or suburb unpaid listings will appear before paid listings if they are deemed to be more relevant.
