SBO Case Study Objectives
SBO stands for Search Box Optimization
HomeTown Plumbing was looking to increase customers in the Southern California market. They wanted to grow their customer base for plumbing. They implemented a program with five keyword phrases for plumbers in San Diego, Oceanside, Carlsbad, Temecula, and Palm Springs.
They were looking to find a way to lower their cost per acquisition, and we showed them how Search Box Optimization could help them achieve that goal.
They were so impressed with Bing that they started a Bing Pay-Per-Click campaign for the first time.
Please review the screenshots below, showing the immediate benefits of Search Box Optimization:
