Although we've had the feature for nearly a year, some of our visitors aren't familiar with how Altoogle works. Altoogle is our online business directory for Blair County. Altoogle can be searched much like a traditional business directory, but it has a unique feature that makes it great to use. The feature is a collection of "category tags". When you go to the Altoogle business directory, you'll see a large list of these categories on the right. The bigger the word, the more instances of that category there are. For example, the word "Automotive" is bigger than the word "Cabinets" because there are more businesses in the directory that relate to automotive issues.
If you click on any of these categories, it will present you with more category options to narrow your search! For example, if I click "Pizza", it will bring up pizza places. However, I can narrow my search by then clicking on "Altoona" to make sure I get pizza places in Altoona. The searches are alphabetical except for our Featured Businesses which come at the top!
Don't forget to hit "Clear search" if you want to start over.
Altoogle contains business reviews, coupons, maps and more! If you are a business owner, please contact us to be sure that we have the right categories for you. For a small annual fee we can make you a Featured Business as well so when your category is clicked, you come up first.
Have a great week!
