Business Challenge

Good Fortunes, a small manufacturer of customized fortune cookies in Los Angeles, could not match the marketing might of competitors who were bidding high prices for pay per click advertising on search engines. As a small business recieving over 50% of enquiries via the Internet, high rankings were important.

SearchForecast Solution

Following an initial 'Hour of Power' telephone briefing for $495 with GoodFortunes management, SearchForecast updated the website with high traffic keywords. The Good Fortunes website was required importing the complete website into the SearchPublish system, which automatically optimizes each pages by updating the required search engine optimization identifiers. SearchForecast worked with GoodFortunes to script, film, produce and edit a range of cookie contest videos for distribution across video search engines such as YouTube, Blinx and Metacafe.
