Happy Summer…

August 8th, 2008

Hello everyone, we are baking in the sun, working hard and hoping you are enjoying the summer.  We have been spending plenty of time with some exciting insurance carriers as we continue to develop our Bringo Direct Connect and Bringo I-Find products.  As all of you are, we are watching the national debate on healthcare and healthcare reform and we remain passionate that fundamentally…healthcare consumers need more information and more tools to make better healthcare decisions.  Reforming our system is important (and it is clearly broken), but any kind of restructuring needs to result in more informed consumer decisions, less defensive medicine, and a healthy dose of pragmatism. 

If you want to see one of our latest projects, take a look at our directories: www.findachiropractorpages.com and www.findadentistpages.com.  While we launched these in the past few months, already thousands of people each day are coming, rating/reviewing their providers, contacting their providers, and laying the groundwork for another valuable source of information for consumers out there.  We have remained pretty darn quiet about the directories but it’s not our noise that will bring consumers…it’s our optimization.  In the fall, we will be rolling out some VERY exciting features that will allow providers (e.g. dentists, chiropractors, and others)…to see a one-stop-shop dashboard that will give them a better sense of what’s happening on the internet in their geographic area than anything out there….as well as helping them understand their own internet profile/visibility and attractiveness. 

We have continued to sharpen our search engine optimization skills and are helping some important partners for BRINGO achieve high placements on keywords that help expand their business.  Want a good example….type in “electronic claims” into google and you’ll see our client www.ansdirect.com placing very highly.  This SEO prowess is winning us and our clients new clients, new patients, and new strategies for using the internet to grow, grow, grow.

That’s all from BRINGO-land for the moment.  Enjoy the summer!
