John - can you also give me the current monthly budgets for all markets? A few of them were lumped together on the last contract we signed so I'm having trouble matching that up to what's happening in the account. Thanks!

 Hi Tim and John,

I'd like to have common numbers we're all looking at the align on the size/potential for search ads in each market.

I went into Google Keyword planner and searched for "home care" for each of our markets. I've outlined the reach (people in or interested in this region) as well as the monthly search volume it estimates for that keyword in the region and listed them below. (Using home care search volume as a directional metric for search volume overall).

John, does this align with what you've seen overall for the locations?

I will be using this to build out new budgets for each market.



Market

Monthly Search Volume for �Home Care�**

Toronto

12.7 million

590

Greater Vancouver

4.6 million

210

Calgary

Montreal

Mississauga

Oakville

Thanks, John! I forgot about the holiday, apologies. Tomorrow is totally fine for the updates.

Please do not increase budget until I confirm with you, which I'll do by EOW.

Thanks,

Hi All,

Sorry for the delayed responses. Today is a holiday in AB (Family Day) so I�m not in the office.

Changes to Google Naming, yes. We will start on this tomorrow, I�ll have Ash make it a priority.

I�ll double-check with Mathew on the missed calls. I know he used Google Ads for calls/tracking, but as mentioned in a previous email about reporting, I think we should be moving to CallRail for these. It�s good to have Google stats, but the time of calls, and missed calls should be through CallRail.

Tim, Mississauga started at the end of September. I�m not sure why tracking for Google doesn�t exist in CallRail until Jan 28th. I�ll talk with the team and see if it was around lack of access, or if something wasn�t completed.

The additional budget will go to the markets you mentioned. We�re low in Mississauga and we know it will benefit from more spend.

Thank you,

Good morning Alexa,

Where did you pull the 15 missed calls from? I just checked via CallRail and I see 10, (which still isn't ideal) but I'm told they were called back within a few hours.

Without a doubt we could increase the spend in Mississauga. John, did we just recently turn on that market? I'm only seeing call rail google paid calls as of the end of January? Given the population size I believe we could definitely increase call volume there. Oakville and Waterloo also seem to be generating a low number of paid calls relative to population size. Therefore I would concentrate the additional spend in these markets.

Thanks,
Tim

Hi John and Tim,

We've been given approval to increase the PPC spend in the Canadian markets for March and April to hege against any seasonality that might cause a drop in leas at the same time as us moving into the Branding bridge.

We'd like to focus this spend on the new brand campaign for TheKey (but understand there will be minimal spend there) so also the home care and in home care keywords would be where we want to focus the spend as much as possible.

It would likely be about CAD $3,500 per month.

With this rough budget in mind, are there certain markets you would recommend we add budget to? I believe you said that the Missassauga market was lacking in budget. How much of this monthly budget could it use? We don't want to concentrate the spend in one market because we want to make sure to invest more across the portfolio so let us know what you would recommend.

Tim - From your perspective, are there certain markets where you'd recommend the spend being invested based on operational performance, if you think any markets might be prone to seeing a dip in January, etc?

I know Calgary and Winnipeg both saw 15+ missed calls in January so I don't think we should increase the budgets there until we get more insights into that.

Can you both please share your recommendations with me by EOD Tuesday?

I will be building out a plan on Wed/Thursday of next week with the aim of getting leadership approval by the 28th so that any changes can be made by the InFront team by March 3rd.

Sincerely,

Sincerely,
