destra Corporation Limited (ASX:DES) (destra) through its subsidiary Yahoo! Web Hosting by OzHosting.com launched today its Searchability – search engine optimisation - service.

“As Australia's second largest provider of virtual web hosting solutions, Yahoo! Web Hosting by OzHosting.com had been experiencing a rapidly growing demand from our customers and resellers for a search engine optimisation [SEO] tool they could use themselves,” said Domenic Carosa, destra Corporation CEO.

While awareness of the value of SEO has increased, so has the realisation that the fees sought by SEO consultants are prohibitively expensive to the average sized Australian business. “Organisations specialising in SEO activities charge between $2,000 and $6,000 per month, something only the top end of town can afford,” said Carosa. “At $999 per year, our Searchability web-based service is at an unbeatable in price point.”

destra selected Web Evident, based in Utah, as its SEO solution provider. For over three years, Web Evident has researched and developed its ASP web-based SEO service which is achieving strong results in the USA after its launch in September 2004. The ROI-driven features of the service demonstrates a strong value proposition to the user.

"We're extremely pleased to have destra as our partner representing our services in both Australia and New Zealand," said Dane Robertson, Web Evident’s CEO. "destra’s small and medium-sized business customers now have a genuine tool to help them improve their visibility through natural search listings."

Martin Cleland, CEO of magazineworld.com.au, has been piloting the web-based SEO service for a number of weeks. The company is totally dependent on online sales and on being found by prospective customers undertaking search engine searches for suppliers of a comprehensive range of magazines.

Cleland agrees that SEO consultants are just not a cost that can be tolerated by the small business market. He commented, “I can’t believe how easy it is to use. I am literally guided in each of the various steps I need to take to ensure I optimise each webpage to the highest possible level and then I am assisted in submitting the pages to the various search engines and directories. The fact that I am even sent email reminders of what I still need to do and how to continuously keep my site optimised is amazing.”

The Searchability service is being offered directly to Web site owners as a one-year subscription for $999 AUD. destra will also offer a wholesale version of the service to resellers who may bundle the offering with personalised Web consulting services as is currently being done in the US market.
