What Is Fuelstart.com?

Fuelstart.com is a simple, easy to use search engine for home heating fuels. Our goal is to provide home owners with a simple way to find, compare and contact heating fuel companies.

Why We Do It

Every winter the search for home heating fuels begins. Whether its oil, propane, wood, pellets or bio fuels its always a chore to find the best prices. For many home owners the only option is to wade through the yellow pages in hopes of finding a company that will deliver to their area and provide the services they need. Giancarlo Vivenzio and Ryan Finlay, the founders of Fuelstart.com, went through this process and found that an address and a phone number wasn't enough information to make a decision. So like all home owners they had to call several companies to gather more information.

That's when they decided there had to be a better way. Home owners don't want to waste time calling around trying to find a company that best fits their needs. The goal of Fuelstart.com is to give home fuel companies a low cost means of posting all of their business information on a site dedicated to home heating. This in turn gives their customers quicker access to prices, delivery schedules, contact information, etc without having to do the leg work themselves.

All other content will be easily found from the navigation header at the top of each page. Please be on the lookout for this change and give us your feedback!

Home Heating Google Ads worth it?

Are Google Adwords, Yahoo, and Bing advertising right for home heating companies? Here at Fuelstart we too are guilty of using Google Adwords to get the word out about our company and services. We all know Google is the Cadillac of online advertising, but I'm amazed how much certain keywords cost.

For example keywords such as

Heating oil prices ma

Best heating oil prices

Connecticut Oil

Massachusetts Oil

all will cost you a minimum of 50cents a click. These clicks add up fast! Depending on what you set your daily budget for and how far your demographic reach is. You could easily rack up 50 clicks and end up quickly spending $25 bucks. This might sound like short money, but do this consistently throughout the year and it will cost you well over $9000.

By no means I'm telling you not to use these advertising services. Heck we use them. The point I'm trying to make is just advertise on Fuelstart.com. No no just kidding. The real point is make sure you keep an eye on your daily budget and be sure your targeting the right area demographic. This will save your company lots of wasted clicks and more importantly save you Money!
