What is "Engagement" and Why it Matters to Search Marketers
Businesses optimize their websites and online marketing campaigns for search, trying to get as many customers as possible to their "front door" online, but what do the customers do once they get there? The majority of sites only offer a couple of engagement options for users - a contact form and a button to share on social networks - missing a huge opportunity to convert visitors into customers. We will introduce our new self-serve platform that will help businesses optimize their online marketing investment by bringing more customers past the "front door" and engaging them in real conversations.
