THE CHALLENGE

Maritz came to Oneupweb with clear objectives to generate leads using both natural and paid search results. Maritz's business is based on measuring and encouraging success, so evaluating natural and paid search strategies was a priority. Adding to the challenge, Maritz faces the same scenario as most BtoB marketers, sales always close offline after a ten to twelve month sales cycle, making online effectiveness difficult to measure.

THE RESULTS

» Qualified leads have doubled and continue to increase. The campaign's success has encouraged Maritz to expand its optimization campaigns across all business units.

» Maritz is able to track offline sales generated from online actions with the use of Oneupweb's ROI trax® analytics, exceeding its expectations for tracking.

» In one month, Oneupweb's natural campaign improved Maritz.com's visibility in search engine results by 2,333 %.

» Natural positions for the corporate site have continued to grow.

» For all the business units combined, visibility in search engine results has improved by more than 2,000 %.
