Edeska Solution
Step 1: Website Design and Copywriting
After analyzing the Commissions Early’s competitors we came up with a brand identity and brand messaging that would differentiate the Company from its competitors. After the brand identity was finalized, we began building the Company’s website with a specific focus on educating the customer on the benefits of the service.
Step 2: Online Application Custom Development
We designed and programmed an online application system for the Company. Our system allowed a potential Commissions Early client to apply, get a financing offer, sign the financing documents and get funded completely online.
Step 3: CRM Set Up
Given the nature of the business, it was very important for us to track the revenue and profit generated from these leads. We therefore set up end-to-end tracking from click, to form fill or call to actual stage tracking in the CRM. This allowed us to clearly identify client demographics and search keywords that were most profitable for the business.
Step 4: Campaign and Audience Targeting Set Up
We researched the Company’s competition and their advertising campaigns. Based on this research, we finalized the initial campaign type, bid type and audience targeting across Google search and Google’s display properties.
We also began our SEO content creation and link building process.
Step 5: Ongoing Conversion Rate Optimization
We made ongoing content, website navigation and check-out experience changes on the website which helped drive the Company’s contract completion and funding rate.
