Santa Clara, California - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - March 21, 2007 - A small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) and online directory publishing solution, designed to facilitate local search, has been debuted at The Kelsey Group’s Drilling Down on Local conference in Santa Clara, California.

LeadStream, a new business unit of local search firm Innovectra, is a performance-based online lead generation solution for SMBs in targeted vertical and geographic markets. Piloted in 2005, LeadStream’s business model utilizes vertical keyword analysis, testing and tracking methodologies, as well as segment-specific SEM tools and products that help drive motivated buyers to SMBs. From offering multiple ways of receiving and tracking leads including online landing pages with pay-per-call, email, mapping and coupons, to creating lead qualification and customer retention services, LeadStream is building a strong base of SMBs relying on its performance-based Internet marketing solutions.

Chris Scotton, President and CEO of LeadStream remarked, “Search Engine Marketing continues to be a major challenge for small-to-medium businesses. In fact, recent market research shows that less than 6 percent of SMBs are using paid search as an avenue for lead generation. With the dramatic increase of consumers going online to search for local products and services, LeadStream makes SEM simple for SMBs - a group characterized by limited marketing resources, budget and time - managing their Internet marketing campaign from beginning to end, while delivering qualified leads.”

According to LeadStream, it was created as one of the only vertically-focused in-house ad sales and customer support teams, as an effective channel distribution partner for vertical directories, search engines and Internet Yellow Pages seeking significant advertiser penetration and revenue growth.

Matt Booth, Senior Vice President and Program Director for The Kelsey Group’s Interactive Local Media practice added, “Our latest research shows that SMBs are increasingly turning to targeted, vertical electronic media. This represents a considerable opportunity for online service providers, like LeadStream, that understand and deliver solutions tailored to the unique needs of SMBs.”

LeadStream offers a suite of products and services including online landing page templates and multiple search engine sponsored ads, priority placement on major search engines, a trackable phone number, a personalized performance-tracking site called LeadTrak and several other lead tracking methods tailored to SMBs needs.
