The Challenges

Easy financial came to us to help them grow their organic presence online. They were one of the fastest growing companies across Canada and the weak economy was on their side. The market was ripe for them to grow, and they wanted their online presence to be as strong as their brick and mortar presence in the real world. When we met with them we identified the following problem areas:

  • Due to weak SEO structure, strategy and content they were unable to compete with more established banks and lenders online.
  • Highly competitive terms were unobtainable for their internal teams and they were getting frustrated by investing in resources that were not producing any tangible results.

The Work

We worked with easyfinancial to first help them conquer the highly competitive short term loan space before embarking on full account management. Based on the overwhelming success of the first project, the relationship evolved into full account management pertaining to organic reach for easyfinancial, easyhome and easyhome.us (their American arm). We provided:

Comprehensive organic optimization for an ever expanding set of topics designed to qualify and direct the right prospects to their online properties.
Frequent consulting on a multitude of online marketing services including but not limited to: social media, content marketing, sponsored advertising, lead gen and marketing automation.
We created and distributed compelling infographics to attract new customers and enhance easyfinancial brand awareness.
Content was distributed on content platforms, generating better brand awareness through impressions and direct hits.
