National & International Program

Your brand or your dealers appear before a buyer finishes typing. You only pay when they click twice.

Search Box Optimization places your name or dealer network into Google and Bing autocomplete suggestions. When a buyer begins searching, your brand surfaces before they complete their query — and you only pay for the clicks that demonstrate real purchase intent.

Available in any English-speaking market — including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.

Built for national brands, manufacturers, and multi-market dealer networks — wherever English-speaking customers search

SBO — Search Box Optimization

Watch how Search Box Optimization works for national programs and dealer networks.

Who This Is For

Built for Organizations That Operate at Scale

The SBO National Program is designed for organizations that need to dominate high-intent search across multiple markets — domestically or internationally. Available anywhere Google and Bing serve English-speaking customers, including the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand.

National & Multi-Market Brands

Companies running national or international marketing campaigns that require consistent, high-intent search presence across every market they serve — in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, or any English-speaking region.

How It Works

Be First. Be Seen. Get Chosen.

SBO puts your brand where it matters most — at the exact moment buyers are searching. Before competitors appear. Before comparison shopping begins. In any English-speaking market.

1

A Buyer Starts Searching

A buyer begins typing on Google or Bing — 'pontoon boats near me,' 'HVAC dealer in Dallas,' 'roofing contractor near...' As they type, your brand name surfaces in the autocomplete dropdown before they finish the query. This happens before traditional results ever appear — in any English-speaking market where Google and Bing operate.

2

Your Brand Appears in the Search Box

Instead of seeing other brands or competitors, they see YOUR brand as the suggested search. One click executes the search — and your full profile, reviews, website, and call button dominate the results page. No bidding war. No competitors. Just you.

3

They Click Your Suggestion

One click. No comparison shopping. No scrolling through pages of competitors. The buyer chose your brand before the search even completed — and now they're looking directly at your business profile, your reviews, and your call button.

4

You Capture the Next Buyer

Your brand gets in front of more ready-to-buy customers. Built to convert. And because SBO is exclusive — one brand per category per market — once your territory is secured, no competing brand or dealer can purchase that same position while your campaign is active. This applies in every supported English-speaking country.

One Brand. One Territory. One Advantage.

The first brand to activate SBO for a service area receives exclusive territory protection. Once your territory is secured, no competing brands or dealers can purchase that same SBO placement while your campaign is active.

This exclusivity applies across all supported English-speaking markets — US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand.

Pay for Performance

Two clicks required. You only pay for the second one.

Most digital advertising charges for impressions or generic clicks. SBO only charges when a buyer takes two deliberate actions to reach your website — proving real purchase intent.

1
No charge

Buyer starts typing, your phrase appears

A buyer begins a search. As they type, your unique autocomplete phrase appears in the suggestion dropdown.

2
No charge

They click your suggested phrase

The buyer clicks your suggested phrase. This executes the search and loads a results page weighted toward your business. This first click is NOT billable. If they only browse these search results and leave, you pay nothing.

3
Billable click

They click through to your website

From the search results page, the buyer clicks a second time to visit your website. This second click is the billable event — it proves genuine purchase intent. If they only look at the search results and never visit your site, you are not charged.

Budget You Control

Set your spend level. Scale up or down based on your program goals and market footprint.

Scale When You Choose

Add markets, expand territories, or increase volume on your timeline — not ours.

No Wasted Impressions

You only pay when a buyer clicks twice — first selecting your autocomplete suggestion, then clicking through to your website. If they only browse the search results and leave, you pay nothing.

No Bidding Wars

Unlike PPC, there's no auction. Your exclusive position is secured — competitors can't outbid you for your own territory.
