Free Competitor Website Analysis

28 07 2010

Have you ever wondered how your competition is attracting more customers online, how many sales they are getting through their site, or how you can get more business online? We at Candybox Marketing are offering one Free Competitor Website Analysis PER WEEK until September 21st 2010. This report will help you understand the gaps in between you and the other guy that is doing better than you.

How do we know?

Our trained nerds know the current trends / fads of Google Search, Search Engine Optimization and Social Media so we can quickly distinguish what would promote or penalize your website in minutes. Websites that did well in the 90's are not what Google is looking for, and we can show you how small changes on a website can make a big difference!

What do you get?

We will give you a sweet little presentation, online or in person.

24 06 2010

We are pleased to announce a few of our most recent customers that have started to work with our team! Although we would love to blog about each one of our clients, here are a few highlights that we can tell you about what we are working on:

The Weather Network (Search Engine Optimization)

We are proud to be helping The Weather Network with their Search Engine Optimization strategies and tactics over this summer. Being one of the top visited websites in Canada, making sure users get to the right page quickly is their #1 priority. We are looking forward to being a part of their team!

O'Neil Data Systems (Website Rebuild, Viral Video & Online Campaigns)

We have never found data driven publishing to be so exciting until this project. This company has a printer that looks like it builds Terminators, and online programs that provide complex printing solutions to top financial & health care providers across the US. We are looking forward to giving their site a face-lift and help organizations find them on Google.

No Limit Kids Movie (Website Rebuild, Social Media Marketing, Search Engine Optimization)

Targeted at the US pre-teen market, we will be helping to create a buzz around this upcoming movie release this summer. Watch out for our multi-channel media release including contests, video's and much more!

Is your site Blog-Worthy?

27 05 2010

No, we aren't trying to just tell you why you should have a blog, although you should, but are people blogging about you?

While some companies are desperately trying to make link backs to their website to improve their overall PageRank with Google, we love stories like these where our clients are praised by a real client – with a reputation. What made this customer feel that they needed to blog about their experience? Here is a list of items, just to name a few:

  • Credibility: Finding the same company on the top of Google Search no matter how many variations of they searched.
  • Simplicity: Navigating through a site where the user is valued as top priority, and helping them find what they want.
  • Offering: Being able to find what they are looking for quickly, and being enticed to submit their information for it. (If you are looking for teleconferencing, you don't want to read through pages about video-conferencing)
  • No Flash: Strangely enough, this particular customer loved the fact that the page didn't have to load some type graphic to tell them what they need.
  • Automated Email Follow-up: The fact that a personalized message sent back immediately from a real person's email account (even thought it was automated) was a warm touch after they submitted their information.

Thanks to Gyft.to for such a great review of one of our favorite customers, Vesta Networks.

Google.ca Crashed – 502 Error

1 09 2009

We never thought we'd see it, but today Google.ca crashed (and is still down).

At 4:49pmEST, Google.ca, Google.com, Google.co.uk crashed and is returning a 502 error. Even their other services such as Gmail (http://mail.google.com/) and Documents all went down with a bang everyone is still clicking Function F5.

Will people finally turn to Yahoo, or even worse, Bing.com to try and find what they are looking for?

Here at Candybox Marketing, we will be in the lineup of users simply clicking F5, until our page returns. For all of ourĀ Adwords Advertising customers, there may be a little blip in leads today. If you want to complain, please feel free to give us a call, since we have nothing to do at the moment… F5, F5, F5
