Looking for beta testers for webcontrolroom.com

[websitedesigner]

Hi guys I have built a system http://webcontrolroom.com that gives small business owners a 1 page report on their business performance by getting data from a number of different sources (see this thread for the background).

The idea is to focus on month by month comparison so you can see what areas are going up and what are going down so you can monitor performance as it happens.

Initial thoughts are the system will be free and supported by some sort of contextual advertising - i.e. your Google rankings have dropped check out this SEO company etc.

It is in private beta at the moment and I'm keen to get as many people using / testing it as possible just for general feedback on how useful you think it is.

So far the system is showing:

1. Where your site ranks in Google for up to 5 keywords
2. Website visitors from Google Analytics
3. Server uptime from siteuptime.com (paid siteuptime accounts only)
4. Newsletter opens and subscribers from MailChimp or Aweber
5. Social media influence from Klout
6. RSS Subscribers from Feedburner

We are working in integration from a few other sources including revenue data from Xero and PayPal etc.

If you are interested in checking it out please visit http://webcontrolroom.com and fill in the form for the beta or just email me dan@webcircle.com.au or if you have any general thoughts / feedback feel free to reply here.

I've just signed up and looking forward to testing it out.

Are there currently any other similar services in this field?

Hi Paul thanks heaps for this. There are other dashboard type products including Ducks Board and Gecko Board and a couple of others.

I'm not aware of any products that focus specifically on month by month comparisons and acting on this data - most seem to be mainly about accessing a flashy dashboard of real time business stats. To me this is cool but the power is in identifying strengths and weaknesses so that is how my system is designed.

I'm not aware of any other free systems that do similar things (both the above 2 are paid) but they could well be out there, it would be unusual for someone to have not done this already unless of course the revenue model is not sound but I guess time will tell.

Hi all

Thanks to those who did some beta testing on http://webcontrolroom.com. it's now live and available to the public.

It's still pretty simple at this stage but hopefully enough to get an idea of whether people like the concept.

You can sign up via http://webcontrolroom.com for free is anyone else is interested.

Thanks again

Dan
