Matched Referrals
Thousands of potential clients across our Heritage Web network trust us to help them in their search for professionals and organizations. Often, potential clients fill out our referral request form and indicate specific search criteria.
Our team manually reviews each referral request within 24 hours of receipt to ensure correct search parameters are selected and to reduce spam. Our system then matches the request with professionals or organizations with an active listing on our network and which match the search criteria.
The identified professionals or organizations will receive a notification that they have been matched with a referral request. They can view the description provided by the potential client and any other responses to follow-up questions that the potential client has provided. The price of the referral will also be stated.
Matched professionals or organizations can purchase the referral on an exclusive basis, to obtain the contact information of the potential client. Once a referral is purchased, it will no longer be available to others for purchase.
Matched Questions
Heritage Web has a free Question & Answer service. Potential clients browsing our directories may submit profession-specific questions through a question intake form. Our engine matches the questions to professional listings or organization listings on our network that are qualified to answer the questions.
When matched with a question, professionals and organizations are notified. Matched professionals or organizations can choose to provide answers (for free).
Provided answers are sent to the potential client with the answering professional or organization’s details. The answers are also published on our network and credited to the professional or organization (questions will be anonymized).
