“Keep up the great work. Our Google Analytics shows we received 188 hits to our website from the ERP Software Blog site from June 30th to July 14th..” Judy Van Der Linden, Interdyn Artis “I tested my search visibility today using both Bing and Google. Using various combinations of “Dynamics” “GP” “Great Plains”, “Denver” etc, links to my posts in the ERP software blog came up in the first five listings about 80% of the time. Before that, even with Google Ad words, it was pretty hit and miss if our company would come up at all. So, THANK YOU!, the amount of increased exposure just from the blog is truly amazing.” Barry Knaster, Knaster Technology Group
“For a long time another local GP partner has been beating us in SEO ranking. But now, since the blog, the tables have turned. While they are paying $ for a sponsored link, CAL now has the top 4 spots in organic search for the coveted phrase “dynamics gp partner Connecticut”.” Stacy Orr, CAL Business Solutions
“We have been tracking analytics n our site for a few months. Search engine results and referrals absolutely went up as soon as we joined the blog. I’ve had contact from a prospect that wants to dump NetSuite in favor of Microsoft Dynamics GP. They found us via Google [when my post on] the ERP Software Blog came up. ” Gloria, Computeration
“Thanks so much for this lead. We have a meeting scheduled for next week. We really appreciate it!” Mary, Crestwood Associates
“We received an ERP quick quote lead and were able to schedule a meeting with the prospect the very next day. This is a well qualified lead, the prospect is looking for a system is ready to engage with us and move forward. I don’t think we would have had the opportunity with this prospect without the Quick Quote tool. ” Angela Corvin, Saratoga Technologies, Inc.
“We just got 3 leads from both CRM and ERP blogs we wrote – I am impressed by readership reach! Both called our office & specifically referenced either seeing the article we wrote on GP and SharePoint or the CRM blog about Dynamics CRM vs. Outlook BCM. We have had 2 people call on this post already.” Andree Dolan, The TM Group
“We closed 3 new customer adds as a direct result of the ERP blog. Although the leads did not come through the blog site, these prospects contacted us directly after finding us on the blog. So our membership has been a great success” Michael Medipor, ERT Group
