Search Engine Optimization (SEO)Natural search shouldn’t be a “black box”
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)Natural search shouldn’t be a “black box”
Many SEO practitioners keep their clients in the dark about what
exactly it is they’re doing. It’s no wonder that marketers can be
skeptical of SEO practitioners selling these “mysterious processes.”
SEO is constantly changing and evolving to reflect new algorithms
and market dynamics. ROI DNA understands this and believes that
every client deserves to be kept in the loop.
How we’re different | Speed and transparency matter
The building blocks of a powerful SEO program remain a constant
even though the precise characteristics rewarded by search engines
may be in constant flux. We’re experts at understanding what sorts
of characteristics and changes drive the greatest benefits. We are
relentless in our dedication to continuous improvement. We keep
you constantly informed of what we are doing and why it matters.
Plus, our team works in collaboration with the leading search
providers to ensure that our clients are ready for algorithm changes
even before they occur.

Paid Search (SEM)It’s time to leverage science and art
Paid Search (SEM)It’s time to leverage science and art
Virtually every company’s search efforts see immediate benefits
from SEM. But maximizing success requires much more than a “set
it and forget it” SEM program – the marketplace changes literally
by the second. In this environment, optimal SEM results require
artful expertise combined with the most advanced bid and yield
management technology available.
How we’re different | People + Platform + Cross Industry Best Practices
ROI DNA is highly familiar with every major bid management
platform, and adds its own layer of proprietary technology to
deliver optimal results. Our team has decades of experience
in maximizing performance to any measurable KPI. We apply
experience from within your industry plus learning gathered
across commerce to ensure that you receive the best return on
investment. Finally, copy and campaign development are led
by experienced practitioners who understand that technology
efforts are maximized by getting the right message to the right
person at the right time.

EmailCRM can work even harder for you
EmailCRM can work even harder for you
In the case of nearly every brand, email is the most cost-efficient
sales channel. But it takes focused attention and expertise to improve
upon a winner. Every aspect of your program needs to be made
greater, and then greater still, in order to extract maximum benefit
from this critical, under leveraged medium.
How we’re different | We make email enticing
We consider, results and sales to be one of email’s most attractive
aspects of email. Our email experts are relentlessly focused on driving
stronger return on email investments. We’ve proven again and again
that email can be both a workhorse and a growth channel through
more effective prospect acquisition, list optimization, content
innovation and proactive editorial calendaring. We apply sequential
learning and best practices to improve results every time you field
messages.

Affiliate MarketingDeploy your sales army
Affiliate MarketingDeploy your sales army
Affiliate marketing has been a part of digital almost from the inception
of the web. Mastering this complex channel has grown increasingly
difficult because so many brands and programs compete for affiliate
attention. Many marketers suffer from the misconception that the job
is “done” after the recruitment stage. The reality is that sustained sales
and growth from this channel require constant attention and focus.
How we’re different | Real affiliate partnership
ROI DNA fields and develops dozens of affiliate programs with an
approach that emphasizes the strongest possible recruitment,
proactive relationship management and continuous offer
optimization. We start by leveraging our deep partnerships with
generalist and specialist “super affiliates”, and work with them
regularly to maximize results. By keeping your program consistently
on the minds of these leading affiliate properties, we ensure ongoing
sales growth.

EngineeringGood enough simply isn’t anymore
EngineeringGood enough simply isn’t anymore
Every day, hundreds of thousands of programmers and coders
build the backbones of companies. While these systems may be
functional, they aren’t always scalable. Engineering for growth
begins with a profound understanding of your business. Additionally,
it requires unparalleled expertise at driving results and empowering
leaders with the mission critical information they need. Every part
counts.
How we’re different | Geared toward success
The founders of ROI DNA understood from the beginning that
technology and information are the most critical components to
running a business at full potential. Every member of our team has
vast experience building and adapting solutions to drive growth.
We’re constantly studying new developments to better understand
the practices that maximize results. We don’t focus on a single set
of technologies and platforms, every business is different and calls
for technology that perfectly dovetails with its needs. For the same
reasons, we work with any and every platform. And we never forget
the importance of creating scalability. You’re going to need it. We
promise.

Social MediaIt’s time to unleash social’s true business potential
Social MediaIt’s time to unleash social’s true business potential
The possibilities for social as a business driver are enormous. Study
after study demonstrates that prospects are spending more and
more time in social environments, and are looking to these channels
for ideas and recommendations. But these same studies show that
most companies are dissatisfied with their current social efforts,
believing that the channel should be contributing more to business
growth.
How we’re different | Social that delivers remarkable results
ROI DNA is a first mover in delivering strong results from social
media. We marry the desires and needs of people to the sales and
business objectives of brands using a combination of best practices
and innovative spirit. We partner with both the largest social
communities and the most radical solutions providers to create
programs wholly focused on meeting business goals. For many of
our clients, this combination of expertise and creativity has made
social a key growth channel with tremendous potential.

Case Studies
Norton Mobile Security Case StudyHelping Norton become the leading mobile security provider
Symantec’s Norton brand has long been an industry-leading
provider of internet security and antivirus products – when it comes
to computers. Prior to hiring ROI DNA, they were virtually unheard
of in the world of mobile security. Looking to drive Norton to the
top of organic search results, we developed and recommended a
strategy. We brokered the domain purchase, generated interactive
widgets, guided content strategy and delivered that content across
desktop sites, mobile sites, and social media. Norton – once
unranked in this realm – became first in search for Symantec’s
targeted terms, within the target timeframe.
Project Highlights | ROI DNA employed SEO strategy, content
and asset development, desktop and mobile site design, and more
to boost awareness of Norton’s mobile security platform. We
delivered social media content, managed a community of followers
and ran related ads. We also designed and developed a number
of interactive widgets based on live feeds of proprietary Symantec
data.
42
The Results?
Norton became the #1 Google ranked website for the search term “mobile security”

Norton went from off the map to the #1 Google ranked listing for the term “mobile
security”. ROI DNA deployed a full combination of category strategy, SEO strategy,
content implementation, engineering and design to achieve these results.

Ning Case StudyEmails reinforce brand and recapture customers
Ning, a social platform [acquired by Glam Media in 2011], enlisted ROI
DNA to redesign their homepage. Learnings from the multivariate
testing for their homepage redesign enabled ROI DNA to swiftly
create an email campaign series. The fresh campaign reinforced
brand identification and performed extremely well. This retention
email series was designed to capture customers who fell out of the
buy flow and turn them back into purchasers.
Project Highlights | ROI DNA redesigned and restored Ning’s email
web presence. We designed a retention email campaign series to
leverage learnings from multivariate testing of their previous web
design project. We then trained the client to successfully implement
the series on Silverpop.
The Results?
increase in conversions
20% $

Email campaigns increased conversions by 20%, recaptured customers,
clarified the brand and expanded overall reach.

BrowserMob Case StudyStrategic user-centered design
Founded in 2008, BrowserMob introduced its first website
monitoring and load testing product in November of that year.
Since then, BrowserMob grew to profitability and was acquired by
Neustar Inc. (NYSE: NSR) in July of 2010.
Project Highlights | ROI DNA performed a full homepage and
logo redesign to better represent BrowserMob and improve user
experience. A full site reorganization promoted more intuitive
navigation and significantly improved site comprehension and
conversions.
The Results?
increase in B2B sales
30%
46
Strategic user-centered design transformed the learning and buying experience
of BrowserMob, instantly lifting conversion rates by more than 30%.

Malwarebytes Case StudyGrowing SEM while maintaining ROI
Leading anti-malware software provider Malwarebytes has removed
an estimated five billion pieces of malware from customers’
computers. Malwarebytes harnesses powerful technology to
detect and remove worms, trojans, rootkits, rogues and more while
simultaneously scanning for and preventing future attacks. When
Malwarebytes needed help growing their SEM program, they turned
to ROI DNA.
Project Highlights | ROI DNA engages in ongoing SEM and AdWords
display work on behalf of Malwarebytes. Additionally, we reworked
landing pages and built campaigns in English-speaking countries
and EMEA countries. Our SEM work on behalf of Malwarebytes
resulted in a 216% increase in conversions and lowered the cost
per acquisition. As a result of lower CPA, Malwarebytes saw a 603%
increase in profits from SEM between 2011 and 2012.

DBVis Case StudyRethinking strategy to drive site traffic organically
Database visualization and management tool DBVis approached
ROI DNA for an overhaul of their search engine optimization tactics.
Although the site’s organic traffic was consistently increasing, DBVis
was unsatisfied with the rate of growth. They enlisted ROI DNA to
revise their SEO strategy.
Project Highlights | ROI DNA developed a new, in-depth SEO
strategy document backed by intensive research and assessments
of strengths and weaknesses of DBVis and their competitors. We
worked tightly with DBVis’ own SEO team to easily communicate
strategy and smoothly implement changes. DBVis was fortunate
to have well-written content as a jumping-off point, but it was
neither optimized nor organized in a way that search engines could
understand. Since implementing ROI DNA’s proposed strategies
and tactics, DBVis saw organic search volume jump over 24% in the
following year.
The Results?
Organic search grew
24%

Optimized existing content, organized content to be decipherable to search
engines, and saw organic search grow by 24% over the next year

Norton Internet Security Case StudyDriving positive ROI from improved DSPs
Symantec’s sophisticated, highly effective internet and antivirus
protection halts most threats in their tracks. But Norton Internet
Security’s Mac solution wasn’t getting the exposure it deserved.
NIS wanted to increase ROI in this area via display ads and landing
pages. They reached out to us to drive brand awareness while
targeting several specific audiences.
Project Highlights | ROI DNA created direct response online display
ads, as well as several landing pages centered on key benefits and
price discounts for an array of products. We defined and optimized
for three distinct audience funnels, utilizing both algorithm-based
and manual optimization and localizing for seven countries and
two product lines.
Into the project’s second month,
we’d already beaten expected
ROI range by 30%. With ongoing
optimization, it grew to over 50%.
We’ve helped NIS achieve greater
control, transparency and quality
of media placement compared to
previous ad buys executed through
blind networks.
52
The Results?
50% ROI growth
NIS saw 30% ROI growth into the project’s second month,
with an ultimate 50% increase from expected range.

Stitch Fix Case StudyA complete back-end overhaul and development system
A totally new way to shop, Stitch Fix is a pioneer of online shopping.
Stitch Fix determines customers’ size and style preferences, then
delivers a package of boutique-worthy clothes, customized to their
taste, striaght to their doors each month. ROI DNA developed a
scalable foundation for rapid, strategic growth in Stitch Fix’s online
sales marketing.
Project Highlights | ROI DNA developed Stitch Fix’s website from
the ground up. We performed back-end application development,
database creation, front-end engineering and more for a highly
functional website ready to support exponential growth. You might
say we “tailored” their website perfectly to their brand.
The Results?
54

We took Stitch Fix’s entire site from first code to production in under two months, transferred
their spreadsheet-based system into a flexible, modern web application, and enabled the
client to quadruple shipments in an efficient startup timeframe.

SOS Online Backup Case StudyEvolving brand to drive amazing conversions
SOS Online Backup is a 10 year veteran of the online backup market.
With many industry accolades and years of creating advanced,
secure online backup, they were looking for a way to evolve their
brand in a way that appealed to both consumer and business
markets. ROI’s engagement with SOS Online Backup enabled them
to build one cohesive brand that spoke directly to each in a unique
way.
Project Highlights | A 110% increase in B2B sales and a whopping
352% increase in B2C sales. By taking separate yet cohesive
approaches to each market, ROI was able to achieve distinct
communication channels that not only clarified the brand’s value
proposition to each, but also drove revenues to new heights beyond
expectations.
The Results?
56
Created two completely different brand communication approaches that
successfully increased both business lines. Worked within existing brand
constraints while still delivering a focused and impactful ROI.

Apsalar Case StudyDriving social conversation to the next level
Apsalar is a leading analytics and behavioral targeting startup in the
mobile industry. Early on in the growth process, Apsalar chose to use
social networking to maximize their market presence. A cohesive
communications strategy developed with ROI DNA helped Apsalar
become a well-known and respected name in mobile analytics.
Project Highlights | When Apsalar sought their latest round of
funding – an impressive Series A $5M – the content of the company’s
tweets contributed to the venture firm’s interest in Apsalar, proving
that social content not only connects you to your customers but to
potential investors, partners, and collaborators as well.
The Results?
