Currently I'm thinking about upgrading to the $112.50 a month plan at Weddingwire. I've heard positive and negative things but in my area, Seatte, there's only 6 pages of videographers.

I just went there and punched in my zip code for Green Bay, WI a much smaller market than SeaTac is. We have 5 pages here but when I look at the locations, some are as far away as 200 miles. Many are in the 100+ mile range.......so look at where those 6 pages of videographers are from first. If you want to compare this market to yours, our zip code is 54301.

1 vendor out of the 6 pages are from WA
and it seems that a significant amount are withint my limits also
but the ones that are going to the Seattle Wedding Show (as am I) are not upgraded
this could be a sign perhaps?

Note, paying for advertising doesn't bring in more money. You have to make your WeddingWire profile appealing, you have to get your past clients to write reviews and your price has to match your quality. I have a friend who did Wedding Wire, Yelp and a few other bridal sites with very little success and his prices were very low for his product. He was lazy and didn't have every single client write a review.

I don't pay for Yelp but I get 90% of my business from it cause I know how to use it to my advantage, so if you do the three things I mentioned then it's worth it.

I'm in the process of getting reviews and such together. And I plan on make this cohesive through all the review sites I would advertise with.

Thank you very much for your insight :)
