THRIVE SERVICES USED
Project Overview
Geoforce is a top developer of cloud-based asset tracking platforms, such as satellite and cellular-based GPS tags, RFID systems and other wireless technologies, used by major operating companies to manage mission-critical assets and improve safety and compliance.
The company partnered with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency in September 2021 to boost its social media and SEO performance. Having seen no progress with other web marketing agencies in the past, it came to Thrive hoping for a more hands-on campaign management approach that delivers measurable results.
Since taking over the company’s digital marketing campaign, Thrive helped Geoforce generate a 360% increase in organic traffic year-over-year (YoY) and an 88% increase in ad clicks.
Thrive’s combined paid and social media efforts also resulted in a 121% increase in Instagram followers, a 352% increase in Facebook impressions and a 100% increase in LinkedIn followers.
Thrive continues to partner with Geoforce to strengthen its digital presence and achieve steady business growth.
Digital marketing wasn’t a big focus for Geoforce before it came to Thrive. However, being in a competitive marketplace, the client needed to ramp up its online marketing efforts to carve out its name in the industry and drive more targeted leads.
Thrive’s digital marketing specialists performed an extensive brand audit to determine the best approach to achieve the client’s goal. The team focused on optimizing the client’s website to rank for the most valuable industry-related regional keywords. It also launched strategic social media campaigns to increase brand engagement.
