Tip : See Google "Cheat Sheet" help page for advanced web search features.

The above websites were included in the CRE Search initially to demonstrate the process.

Other websites may be added in the future according to feedback from the corporate executives, professional business advisors, and sponsors we serve about what they would like to search this way, because this tool is designed for their convenience.

Note that some state economic development organizations, regional utilities, and local organizations may maintain property listing services for their service areas.  The USA Search feature can be used to search state economic development websites, and the Area Search can be used to search the websites of Tour hosts and sponsor areas.

Property listing services or major facilities may also be featured through our main website in the regional directories of real estate listings, or through links in Area Profiles or Area Surveys, both of which can be found when relevant through a Search of www.gdi-solutions.com as an option above.  Similarly, if there are Service Profiles of property developers, REIT's, or commercial real estate brokerage firms, these will generally provide a link to any property listing feature on their websites, also easily found through a Search.

Note that we do not reproduce the copyrighted material of such companies.  We just make it easier for the executives and professionals we serve to use Google's intuitive site search capabilities to quickly find whatever they may be seeking at the time in a globally consistent way, despite the inconsistent design of all such websites and internal site search tools.

Google may not index all website pages of such organizations because of their design, but our market research work in this niche makes thousands of relevant pages available for quick reference in a globally consistent way.

For example, information which requires a registration process to access, or which requires a database search through a query form, is generally difficult to index.  It is also possible for webmasters to specify that some pages should not be indexed by search engines.  Some event organizers also create new registration websites repeatedly, or soon delete content related to sponsors, exhibitors, or attendees at past events.

Some websites had few pages of content indexed by Google at the time the above list was set up in late 2005.  For example

The basic premise behind our GUIDE services (Globally Uniform Investment Data & Experience), such as Area Profiles, Area Surveys, Area Reports and other research, is to provide executive summary information which becomes a convenient search path to quickly discover when a potential business location may be relevant to the needs of a project.

The ability to conveniently search the websites of participating organizations complements this "high level" or "long list" exploratory search work with the ability to drill down for more details while working "on the short list" selection process.  That includes the capability to not only find basic factual data attributes about the area, such as demographic statistics or directories of available properties, but also to quickly search through other relevant websites for information to address specific project interests, including the recent experience of other investors in the area or business clusters.

Our Invest USA, Invest in Europe, and global Contacts directories (geographic regions and professional specialties) already make it easy to find relevant websites and follow whatever navigational structure and search options they may offer to present information about their areas or services.

These custom Search features, however, make it fast and easy to use Google's intuitive process in a consistent way to find whatever relevant content has been indexed.

Explanation of this CRE Search feature

We maintain directories of contacts among corporate real estate firms and property developers or REIT's, as well as selective regional directories of major industrial properties and offices or CRE property listing services.  We also maintain Service Profiles to highlight the capabilities of individual firms anywhere in the world, which may summarize and include links to search their current listings.  These listings and service providers can generally be found quickly through the search of GDI-Solutions.com as provided below.

This makes it easy to search for a "long list" of relevant business locations or services, and then drill down "on the short list" through the search tool for specific details of interest.

Tips about using these custom site search features

 

Not all pages on a website may be indexed.  This depends on a variety of website design factors and search engine processes.

 

The site search tools provided by the respective websites may be more comprehensive if they provide access to content which Google does not index, or very recent content which Google may not have crawled yet.  Since these Google results are the same as those which are available in a general Google Search of the World Wide Web - but limited to the content of a specific site - this can also be helpful to test how Google is finding results for such a site, and how the results of interest would appear to Google Search users.

Suggestions for improvement to this CRE Search feature are welcome.  Additional websites to search may be added selectively.  Relevant reciprocal links are also welcome.

Our main SEARCH feature selectively searches the websites of professionals in this niche so that it is easier to learn about their capabilities and specialization in more detail than the executive summaries we provide in our Service Profiles and Biographic Profiles .  Profiles make it easier to search and find when their experience may be relevant to a particular type of project.  Area Profiles and Area Surveys can do the same thing for business locations.

CRE Search      is for corporate real estate listings and service providers (this page).

USA Search      is for state economic development websites.

Area Search     is for Tour host areas and sponsor organizations

Europe Search is for national or regional investment promotion agency websites.

Media Search   is for economic development and other business news.

Event Search    is for major trade shows or association events relevant to this niche

Local Search    opens a Google Local map search browser window for convenience

The SEARCH button above (UP in the header of this or other custom search pages) also makes it easy to find most of the content and 25,000+ links to relevant resources worldwide through the hundreds of pages which Google has indexed on www.gdi-solutions.com .  That is our more comprehensive global reference website, which now attracts visitors at a pace of 600,000+ visitors per year.   Daily visits graph.

 

The same tool can search this website for any content in our directories of business location Professionals, Locations (pre-visit and updated Area Profile briefings about host areas), Sponsors (such as host organizations and those who sponsor Tour events or our other services), and the Area Reports (post-Tour visit reports) and Biographic Profiles (individual professional experience) and Service Profiles of participants.

 

We also maintain an Invest in Europe directory for additional contacts in some countries, and a similar Invest USA directory and NAFTA directory for regional, city, county and local economic development contacts by state or country.  See also : Global contacts.
