There are several areas where you can add photos to your pages from your administration site. Also, the Zingfling developers and designers are first class and can build you a fully custom website that is integrated with Zingfling as well. Get free hosting for a year as a Zingfling client.

3. How does Zingfling optimize search for Google
Google and the other search engines primarily rank your site according to the relevancy of the content of your pages. Relevancy can be determined by volume and richness of content on a site. Restaurant menus scanned as images or PDF's in most cases don't get indexed. No to mention that they can be difficult to read. Think about all of the valuable keywords in your menu that get left out. Your menu is what you are all about. Zingfling loads up your entire menu as text, which is fully indexed. Another Google factor is being part of the web community where there is a hierachy of sites that link to your site. In Zingfling all of the websites link back to the Zingfling home, which links out to a growing number of restaurant locations. Zingfling maintains an account on Google Adwords, Google's pay-per-click advertising solution. Zingfling maintains a huge list of keywords loaded up where we pay for clicks on those that search them. As a Zingfling client we will load your restaurant's name and location into our keyword campaign.

4. How am I going to be able to keep up with orders coming in online?
With Zingfling you don't even need an Internet connection to get your orders. Every order is automatically sent directly to your fax machine. Therefore all you have to do is have a reliable fax machine sitting where your staff can easily check it as they fill their other duties. The transmission will have all order details including payment information; if credit card is selected for payment the cc data will be included in the fax so you can manually run the amount through your merchant bank. For backup and archival purposes we also send each order to your email and also store an order history online; accessible from your administrative site.
