MetroGuide Initiates New
Pay-Per-Call Business Model

Hollywood, Florida - Industry pioneer MetroGuide.com, Inc. (MetroGuide) has inaugurated a pay-per-call model for clients on its hospitality websites, announced CEO Mark Metz.

"This ground-breaking service is pure performance-based marketing," said Metz. "Restaurants, hotels, motels, resorts, and event venues, pay us only when exposure on our site results in a call directly to them. With no set-up or recurring fee of any kind, pay-per-call may be the most economical marketing investment a hospitality-related business can make. For our clients, there is simply no downside."

Unlike traditional pay-per-click Internet advertising, pay-per-call ads display toll free numbers to consumers.

Visitors to MetroGuide websites, including DiningGuide.com, EventGuide.com, and LodgingGuide.com, have thousands of restaurant, event, and lodging listings from which to select, each with its own unique toll-free telephone number. Finding exactly the right listing to meet a consumer's specific needs is easy with MetroGuide's state-of-the-art search engine. Clients pay only when the phone number associated with their listing is called.

While MetroGuide's pay-per-call model is available only to hospitality and venue-oriented clients at this time, Metz plans to expand this offering to other clients.
