I am writing this blog article to clear up any confusion that any of our readers may have when it comes to HouserShoes.com and GB Shoes. To start off, I will just say that they are one and the same. The reason I feel this is necessary is because the internet can be a very cut throat place when it comes to a company and its brand placing high within the search engine results. Even for an established company, the placement in search engines is not a guarantee. It takes work on someone’s part to maintain those placements on a continual basis in order to guarantee exposure in this ever-changing and high stakes game of internet retail.
There are companies that try and take a short cut in this process. There have been some large corporations that have hired SEO (Search Engine Optimization) firms to handle how they appear in search engines and page rankings. The ways these placements were achieved were less than reputable and resulted in the companies involved being called out and removed from the particular search engines where the violations occurred.
Why am I telling this? Well, it seems that a company managed to obtain a URL that directly affects HouserShoes.com and they are pulling their results from loyal customers of HouserShoes.com placing them above the true company in search results. There is nothing illegal about this practice, they obtained an available URL through the same means anyone does. The problem with the URL they obtained is that it happens to be GBshoes-dot-com(I have written the URL in this way in order to not provide a link for this company). Do you see the problem? Anyone that knows that HouserShoes.com and GB Shoes are the same company may not be fooled, but, if you aren’t privy to the knowledge that HouserShoes.com and GB Shoes or GB Shoe Warehouse are the same company, you could very easily be ordering your shoes from a company based in China with questionable quality and service. The quality and service you have become to know and respect from the true company of HouserShoes.com and GB Shoes; The quality and service that the founder, Gary Houser, has maintained since the company’s inception in 1976.
Along with their online presence, HouserShoes.com and GB Shoes retain their successful brick and mortar stores which preserve the philosophy and the same foundation Mr. Houser first conceived when building his brand of stores, “Customers are the most important people in any business”. Mr. Houser remains consistent in the nurturing and wisdom in his online store, the same as he felt from opening his first brick and mortar location.
Don’t be fooled by imitations, there are 10 GB Shoe Stores in the southeast, but in cyberspace there is only one GB Shoes, and that GB Shoes is HouserShoes.com!
