MacGyver Marketing Strategy Example

AnciraAutoGroup. – Domains Secured

Used Knowem to check availability of AnciraAutoGroup as a URL sub-domain on 120 popular Social Media sites…
Premium Automated Username Signup
It would have been inefficient and far too time consuming to have an Ancira employee register “Ancira Auto group” with 120 social media sites… Knowem does it for you! They fill out the registration forms on all these popular social media sites with your dealership Username and information. Initial set up is completed in about 5 business days. Use Knowem to ensure that your primary dealer name doesn’t fall victim to "Cyber Squatting" or social media identity theft – Knowem ensures that your primary corporate identity and vanity URL is under your control and secured from unauthorized use.

120 Social Media Site Enrollments
Completed for the Dealer’s Name/Domain

120 Social Media Site Enrollments
Completed by Humans to get past CAPTCHA filters and register the Dealer’s Name/Domain with Links back to the dealer’s “Community” site from ADP
For SEO back-link value… 72 hours.

How it Works
OK, now we get to work. Over the course of the next 1 to 5 business days you will begin to see dozens of confirmation emails (to the email address you provided on the signup form) as we create user profiles for you on each of the websites in our database.
Make sure you click on each one!
We only initiate the process of account creation for you; you have to actually verify each account is yours and visit each site to flesh out your profile and become a participating member in each community. Knowem is not responsible for sites which reject your profile because you either didn't verify the account email or didn't visit and log in to the site.
