ReachLocal – Some Initial Notes
• Discussion Opener.
• Overall, the last year has been a well-run year. We’ve seen improvement across
the board on many key metrics.
• Page position, CTR, CPV have all generally been headed in the right direction.
• Generally speaking, the BM+ approach has worked very well.
• iPace – We may want to examine the landing pages for the iPace programs. In
clicking around the site, we think there’s greater relevancy in landing on the
program-specific pages.
• Other Possibilities:
• ReachEdge / ReachSEO
• TotalLiveChat
• Display
