ENGAGEMENT MODEL Source Enterprises has the unique capability to provide our senior experienced staff onsite as and when required for live and direct contact and dedicate resources locally or offshore in order to deliver quality at a cost effective rate, thus managing both high quality, on time, direct delivery and cost effectiveness. For this particular project Source Enterprises proposes a combination of in house and continued offshore development model of engagement on a Time & Material engagement model.
TIME & MATERIAL When the project scope, specification and implementation plans cannot be precisely defined at the outset or requirements may change dynamically during the project implementation process, the Time & Material model provides flexibility and modulating the site workloads of the development teams assigned to your project, while optimizing time and costs. Under the Time & Materials option, Source Enterprises offers its skilled resources & proprietary software, and the development effort is billed at the end of every week based on the pre-negotiated and mutually agreed upon hourly rate. Hence, the total project cost is determined by the amount of time and resources expended. This is as fair and transparent as possible. The advantage here is that the Time & Material model is tremendously agile and offers you a high degree of flexibility to alter specifications, adapt to and accommodate unplanned activities rapidly, and adjust project resources based upon your evolving requirements throughout the web development process. Source Enterprises also provides you with the flexibility to switch to the Fixed Price model once the project scope becomes clearly defined and the requirements are cemented.
APROACH METHODOLOGY After the introductory discovery meeting, we will take time in properly assessing the new project and/or situation and consult on how we can meet all the goals and/or address all the problems. After this stage, we will implement our Planning Stage and begin production on all of your products. Introduction

MARKETING ANALYSIS LETTER FROM CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER
T
hank you again for this opportunity. It would be an absolute pleasure for us to work on this SEO campaign. Our team has thoroughly reviewed the goals of this project and would like to submit this proposal for you to review. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I am always available. Sincerely, Mike DeStefano Chief Marketing Officer Mike@sourceenterprises.com 1 855 SEO 2014 x 55
“No matter what we think we sell - car, a magazine, food, the truth is what we sell is “Feelings”
WEBSITE ANALYSIS The SEO process for your website starts with its health check wherein we see its current status on search engines like Google, Bing & others and also on Alexa.com & Compete.com. Once we are done with the initial analysis then we move ahead benchmarking & setting competition for the websites under the same theme for the next SEO step. After an in-depth analysis of your website we’ve noticed various on-page optimization improvements that could be made with the website. With a Score of 0% there is a lot of room for improvement. We found some inbound link anchor text to be less than ideal. We found some content issues and cross-linking improvements that can be made. The site’s Panda Score (Google Penalty) is abysmal and could use much improvement. Various restructuring is recommended immediately.
KEYWORD RANKINGS Overall these improvements and others will help target specific keywords, provide better indexing with Search Engines and prepare the site for link building. This will lead to improving the site’s rankings as well expand the number of key phrases that the website will rank for, ultimately bringing more visitors from many more keywords in organic search. Off-page factors that can be improved have to do with the quality and quantity of the link profile for the website. We need to target more keywords and build more links to the website. A complete SEO strategy and implementation would be needed to correct these issues. Once we implement an SEO strategy and fix the issues with the website, we will begin increasing rankings for the desired key phrases in your competitive market. The current site currently lacks the proper content to support relevancy for all of the relevant well searched and popular keyword phrases in your industry.

FOUR STEP THREE TIER MODELING brand growth, brand maintenance, brand base, sales impacts, roi Marketing is defined as: “The methodology of communicating the value of a product or service to customers, for the purpose of selling that product or service.” Brand is the foundation and the most important factor we focus on. Marketing mix modeling (MMM) is a relatively new concept that combines a variety of marketing channels with large data sets of historical performance data. This combination helps channel marketers find the most efficient “mix” of channels and budgets to drive the biggest impact in sales. The marketing mix model is a widely-used tool to evaluate Return on Investment (ROI) and inform optimal allocation of the marketing budget. We apply fact-based marketing mix ROI optimization solutions to marketing investments to drive 40% improvements in your marketing effectiveness. Marketing Mix Models quantify the sales impact of various marketing activities and determine effectiveness and ROI for each marketing activity. Our optimization techniques can provide a roadmap for the future by showing how to adjust marketing strategies, plan budgets, manage channels, create pricing strategies, and produce the highest return for your marketing investments. Marketing Mix Modeling helps brand managers identify the right mix of advertising media and make better business decisions in terms of allocating marketing spend and media planning.
