More tickets = more opportunities.
More people link to your content from other sites.
More web traffic.
PROBLEM…most dealer sites have the exact same information on them…what makes you different from the others???
According to the Custom Content Council, companies that provide helpful information as part of their marketing are 60% more likely to get the sale versus those that do not provide valuable information.
So, the idea is simple then. Create really valuable content, syndicated in a variety of ways (found in search engines and social media) to attract and retain customers.

SocialTract is first a blogging service for HVAC dealers. We develop a custom content plan for them based on their products/services and expertise areas. We create their own custom blog based on their branding, set up their Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn accounts, and in 30 days we begin blogging for/with them – 2 blog posts per week every week – which results in over 100 posts over a 12 month period. That’s 100 additional ways that customers can find and share their content.
