Old Spice

The organic search results that we received from our key words were substantial for the brand that we chose. The first organic search is the company’s main website and the others are other sites that have an affiliation to the brand or doing some form or advertising or have a social media presence for them, no competitor websites showed up mainly because of the brands strong online presences. Also the paid search that results only revealed one result for the Canadian website of the company.

There wasn’t a very strong call to action for the ad but it did have “check out the new swagger scents here” as an incentive to get traffic onto the site. Also it didn’t have a USP or any other selling points to the ad it was very simple and straight-forward, I think this is due to the massive online presence they have and the very successful marketing campaign that was previously launched. Finally the ad did have a specific URL as it was directly for the Canadian consumers which ended in .ca, but right below that was an organic search for the main website which had .com.
