Secret sauce- Ethoos™ is fun and straightforward. Taking the test alone helps many
individuals understand their own personalities better. - Proprietary psychology profile matching of candidates

Overview: Marketing Channels
We identified these channels- What are the channels you CAN SEE from outside?? Ideas:- Ads / Paid traffic- Content- SEO- Affiliate … -
Invisible and/or not existing- What do you SEE that is NOT THERE?- What do you SEE that MIGHT BE THERE - and you hope so?
These marketing channels might be there but we can’t see them
Website Conversion
Minor points● No favicon● Landing page following to best practices
looks like a wordpress error
Appeals to 2 target groups● Both selections lead to different landing pages
PR
Press material● No press room● Even for this presentation I could not find a high-res logo of Ethoos.
Podcasting● No results for Igal Vardi● His research + software could be ideal conversation topics - it’d be easy to
get interviewed.
This makes sense only if target customer listens to podcast.
Content Marketing
Blog content● 2 small efforts in late 2014 and mid 2015, yielding only 10 articles● No engagement.● Blog looks generic and without opinion, as if nobody is in charge here
Backlinks / SEO check
No link building efforts taken!
Probably hacked earlier
Is SEO relevant at all?
Google doesn’t even know the brand name
Social Media
Linkedin● 13 posts, no followers● Clearly just to show that there is “something”, but not an acquisition channel
● Twitter + facebook: same situation
Marketing Ideas
Basic SEO● Try to build links with “Ethoos” in the anchor text to help Google recognize the
name.● Fix basic on-site errors like missing title tag, meta description, H1 tags, … full
list here.
Submit to comparison sites● E.g. Capterra has over 100 companies in the “applicant tracking” industry.● Ask some clients to write reviews!
Quickest win
Improve the YouTube channel● Focus on helpful content● Make more videos, include the customer’s situation● The first keyword is the most important: use it for SEO
Create a press kit● E.g. Capterra has over 100 companies in the “applicant tracking” industry.● Ask some clients to write reviews!
Be interviewed● Podcasts about HR / entrepreneurship● Entrepreneur magazines (where readers are entrepreneurs and would be
interested in applicant tracking software)
