Testimonials
Xplorio must be the best ‘secret’ I have to date had the pleasure of finding. It is the ‘absolute solution’ to expensive online presence for any small business – whether you knit baby clothes or are running a supermarket. It takes all the hassle out of being online.
Over the years I have found Xplorio, to be a great platform to advertise my business, their ranking on search engines is unbeatable and for me to rank as high by myself on Google would take a great deal of money and effort.
We not only receive numerous enquiries from advertising with Xplorio, but also use it frequently to book excursions for our guests [and] as a reference for all our business needs. Thank you Xplorio for making our life a little easier and showcasing our area to the world.
The [Xplorio] profile can easily be edited [...] and offers the possibility to add specials, blogs and even videos. It can be linked to social media, making the profile the ideal webpage at no extra cost. Having insight via “View your Performance” is an interesting tool, often used to apply trends. Well done Xplorio!
What we love about Xplorio is that the website is user-friendly and allows you to post as many much photos and videos as you want, as well as any news on your own blog page. The staff is very helpful and always available. Xplorio can only go from strength to strength!
I recommend your website before any others since there is no commission involved so we get our price every time!
Great site to use, great images, great website!
Another thing I liked about [Xplorio] is that we met with the team and could talk to a real person. The agents were very patient and helpful to get the pages uploaded.
Xplorio is like your ‘one-top-shop’, where you can get all the information about an area, services, things to do, etc. Everything you need, by the click of a button.
