  1. How you Know your SEO is Working

    Interesting fact about Well.ca:

    Every day, we get an average of 2 calls that sound like this:

    Me: Hello, Well.ca — this is Ali. How can I help you?

    Customer: Uh… umm… hi… is this L’Oreal [or Almay, or Maybelline, or Neutragena..] ? I wanted to …

    Me: Umm… We sell L’Oreal products, but we are not the manufacturer …

    See, people (a frightening number of people!)  just assume that the first link that comes up when you do a search like below is the manufacturer of the product.

    It is funny to get these calls all the time (we’ve made a list of all the manufacturer’s contact numbers to give to people like this) but it’s a sign that we’re doing better than the manufacturers themselves at making our products findable on search engines. If any manufacturers are reading this blog contact us and let us know if we can help!
