SEO.com salesman, Dale Nguyen, sits in a Bod Pod to discover his total body fat percentage.

SALT LAKE CITY – It doesn’t take much to get a team of tech-savvy geeks to trim down and shape up – just a few, sweet tech prizes.

“Mention ‘iPad,’ or ‘Dell Mini 5,’ and then mix in a little friendly competition, and the employees here will do the rest,” said Dave Bascom, CEO of SEO.com, a search marketing firm.

To improve the fitness and the overall health of his employees, Bascom is awarding the person who loses the highest percentage of body fat by June 1 a $500 prize of their choosing.

SEO.com as a whole may benefit in multiple ways with the competition. A study done in 2005 by the American College of Sports Medicine said workers who regularly exercise are more productive, managed time better, and worked better with their co-workers. Studies also show that employees who exercise regularly have fewer sick days, and less health-related expenses.

“If nothing else, we’ll all be a little healthier in 90 days after doing this for three months,” Bascom said. “And the In-N-Out Burger that just opened up by our office may not get as much business for awhile.”

Early on, the competition is already heating up.

“Nothing’s keeping me away from that iPad,” said David Malmborg, senior SEO specialist.

“I don’t want to win just for the iPad,” said Tyson Hymas, senior SEO specialist, “I want to win to beat Malmborg.”

SEO.com employees are coming up with different strategies to lose body fat. Hymas will be following the P90X exercise program and the diet Brad Pitt used to get in shape for the movie, “Fight Club.” Tiana Smith, a copywriter, will be following a routine set up by her personal trainer. Others have more creative tactics.

“You have to have a strategy for yourself; then you have to have another strategy to sabotage the competition,” said Scott Cowley, SEO manager. “I’ve used my social networks to find recipes for innocent looking, but highly fatty treats, which I will be putting around the office.”

SEO.com then turns those visitors into sales through search-optimized Web design and conversion optimization. Clients range from small startups to Fortune 100 companies.

SALT LAKE CITY – Utah Business magazine named SEO.com president, Dave Bascom, among its 2010 Forty Under 40, a distinction recognizing top Utah “business leaders, tech gurus, professionals and entrepreneurs” less than 40 years old.

“I can’t think of anyone who deserves this recognition more than Dave does,” said Nelson James, vice president of client services. “He has put countless hours of blood, sweat, and tears into this company and it shows in our growth, success, and the success of our clients.”

“As his first employee,” James continued, “I’ve been with him from the beginning and can say that his unique understanding of both business principles and the search industry, his unfaltering integrity, and his concern for the future of this company and its employees makes him a worthy recipient of this award.”

The Forty Under 40 was selected by an independent judging panel of Forty Under 40 alumni. Utah Business will present the awards Feb. 25 at The Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City.

With innovation and persistence, the 34-year-old Bascom led his company to record growth and profits during the recent economic recession. Just a few years ago, he started his company in his basement. In the last year, the search marketing firm has grown from 12 employees to more than 60, moved to a larger office in Salt Lake County, and increased monthly revenue by more than 300 percent. In 2009, SEO.com has been named as one of the top 10 SEO firms in the country by PromotionWorld, one of the top 25 fastest growing companies in Utah by the Utah Valley Entrepreneurial Forum, and among the Emerging Elite by MountainWest Capital Network.

“It’s been a great ride this year, and a lot of fun to see all the hard work pay off,” Bascom said. “To look back at where we came from, as a tiny start up, is quite satisfying.”

Bascom credits his positive attitude, ignorant youth and perseverance for his success.

“I believe that if anyone combines hard work with a good attitude, and a strong belief in yourself, you can be successful,” Bascom said. “Starting out, I was probably too naïve to realize how difficult starting a business can be. And that’s probably a good thing.”

The SEO company has done pro bono work for the Utah Valley chapter of the Red Cross to help improve its search engine rankings. SEO.com also has given back to the community by helping Camp Kostopulous Dream Foundation, Grassroots.org and The Green Building Center with various search marketing services.

“Charity work is part of our core culture,” Bascom said. “As we grow we hope to continue doing good work for the community and for quality organizations.”

SALT LAKE CITY — In response to an eMarketer.com study stating that businesses will spend up to 75 percent more on Internet marketing this holiday season, SEO.com – a full-service Internet marketing company in Salt Lake City – announces the top 10 most effective Internet marketing strategies of 2009.

“Businesses want to make sure every penny goes to something that produces results,” said Dave Bascom, chief executive of SEO.com. “For that reason, more and more money is being allocated to Internet marketing because it’s measurable and has proven to increase ROI.”

There are a wide variety of Internet marketing methods, the most effective being the ones that establish credibility, trust and directly target a demographic.

“Credibility is the most important,” said Ash Buckles, SEO.com’s director of search engine optimization. “When people are watching their money closely, they will only buy from companies and Web sites that they trust.”

Credibility, Buckles said, depends on how well a site is architected, how many other sites and networks link back to your site, how much social media and buzz surrounds a domain, how often a site goes down, how unique a site’s content is and how fast a site loads.

The Top 10 Internet Marketing Strategies of 2009:

1. Organic Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – Web sites in the top of the search results are viewed as the leaders of their industry, and more than 80 percent of Web users click on the first listings. Good SEO services will consistently deliver a huge return on investment.

2. Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn – Social media marketing engages customers on a personal level, and can rapidly create buzz around a product, brand or business. In 2008, Pubcon search conference spent $75,000 to marketing their conference. In 2009, Pubcon saved that money and used strictly social media advertising with great success.

3. Keyword Research – Everything revolves around discovering what words and phrases your customers are searching for online.

4. Video Marketing – This is becoming more important both on-site and off-site. Videos help convert Web site visitors into sales. In the universal search results, people tend to click on links with videos more than those without – even if the video link is ranked lower.

5. Online Public Relations – This builds credibility online, in the mainstream media and for potential customers. Online public relations can help create a lot of buzz about your site through bloggers and industry sites, and can boost organic SEO.

6. Link Building – A key element in search engine optimization. Search engines like “popular sites.” From the search engine’s point of view, a credible and popular site will have a lot of links pointing to it.

7. Blogging – Blogs provide additional site content (which search engines love), graphics and other viral content to disseminate information and tie in with social media. Blogs can build your credibility by establishing your site as the hub for industry information.

8. Conversion Web Design – A good Web design will keep visitors on your site and sell them products or services. In the end, it all comes down to a site that makes money.

9. Paid Search Marketing – Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising is an extremely targeted strategy with measurable, immediate results. This enables a more efficient spending of marketing dollars.

10. Email Marketing – Nurture relationships and retain existing customers. It’s much easier to keep old customers than to get new ones. Send good offers and valuable information that’s customized to their needs.

“To have success on the Internet, you need a combination of all these strategies to drive traffic to your site, establish credibility of your brand and convert traffic into sales,” Bascom said.

SEO.com selected The Green Building Center as the winner of the Ultimate Web Marketing Makeover because of its commitment to the environment, its struggles during the recession and potential for future success. The organization receives a 6-month contract that includes Web design, search engine optimization, PPC, social media marketing, and conversion optimization.

SALT LAKE CITY – In May, 2008, The Green Building Center celebrated the grand opening of its second office in Park City, Utah. A year later, after the recession took a huge bite out of the company’s profits, it was forced to close down.

“Last year was abysmal. The business fell off a cliff. This year, it’s a roller coaster ride,” said Ashley Patterson, founder and president of The Green Building Center. “We expected the 100 percent growth that we had in the past, and now we’re down where we were in 2007.”

That story is only one reason why the Internet marketing company, SEO.com, selected The Green Building Center, a supplier of eco-friendly building products based in Salt Lake City, Utah, as the winner of the Ultimate Web Marketing Makeover. SEO.com will provide the organization $60,000 Internet marketing services worth $60,000 to help them recover from the recession.

“We haven’t spent $60,000 on marketing the entire time we’ve been in business,” Patterson said after hearing the news. “This will help out tremendously.”

Through October, SEO.com accepted submissions for the Ultimate Web Marketing Makeover from applicants all over the Unites States, as well as some European countries. SEO.com is providing this service as a way to give back to the business community during this time of economic stress. The Green Building Center was chosen because its hardships in the recession and because its products and services benefit the community as a whole.

The organization offers and installs a variety of green building materials, including counter tops made of recycled glass and paper; and paints and finishes made of soy and other materials that don’t produce toxic gases. It also provides workshops and education on green building products and sustainability issues. The Green Building Center’s customers range from commercial builders and architects, to the everyday remodeling consumer.

“We had a lot of strong candidates,” said Dave Bascom, chief executive of SEO.com. “We chose the Green Building Center because it really struggled during the recession, and we believe in what they offer. We want to make it successful so more people will be aware and have access to their green building materials. You can make beautiful things with products that are safe for the environment.”

But more than that, “we think we can bring this company a lot of success online,” said Nelson James, vice president of SEO.com. “Through redesigning their Web site, helping them set up a social media presence, and through various SEO services, we can provide them a lot more exposure, Web site traffic and customers.”

For Patterson, winning the Ultimate Web Marketing Makeover is the opportunity she needed to help turn things around.

“Last year was pretty challenging year for me. I’ve had deaths in the family, we were struggling financially and I had to layoff half a terrific staff,” Patterson said. “And then I heard about the Ultimate Makeover, and I just had this intuition. I thought, ‘I think we have so much potential. We might win.’”

MountainWest Capital Network selected the Internet marketing company as one of 12 newer “Emerging Elite” companies at the Utah Top 100, an event recognizing the fastest-growing businesses in the state of Utah.

“It is truly an honor to receive this award,” said David Bascom, CEO of SEO.com. “We have worked hard to be successful as a company, but there are so many other great companies here in Utah, I feel like we must be doing something right to be recognized in this way.”

“I appreciate the good work you all do to make Utah the great state it is,” Herbert said. “My No. 1 priority as the governor is to grow the economy. You are the engine driving the economy, and we are here to highlight those that are making that effort.”
