Search Optics Expands Global Presence Into Australia
San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) September 14, 2015 -- Search Optics®, a leading digital marketing provider with expertise in the automotive industry, today announced the opening of a new office in Sydney, Australia as part of its ongoing international growth and expansion. Operations in the country will be overseen by Steve Traplin, general manager, responsible for expanding Search Optics’ products and services to market in the region. This new expansion into Australia follows quickly on the heels of Search Optics’ recent launches in São Paulo, Brazil and Toronto.
“Search Optics has been moving swiftly into new markets in need of integrated digital marketing solutions,” said Traplin. “With the strong shift to mobile as part of the shopping experience, it is more important than ever for dealers to adopt a mobile-first approach to digital marketing if they want to drive sales leads and new opportunities.”
“While other players in our space struggle to expand internationally, Search Optics is a nimble player with a robust portfolio of digital marketing services that we can quickly scale and localize to accommodate international markets,” said David Ponn, CEO of Search Optics Global.
After travelling for two years through Europe in a combi van, Steve returned to Australia to embark on his career and gained nearly twenty years experience working with SMEs. His background of over ten years in senior sales leadership, business transformation, and digital marketing — both in Australia and internationally — has helped many SMEs achieve their business goals. Upon seeing the exciting global journey that Search Optics is undertaking, Steve joined the company earlier this year to launch and develop the business in his native Australia.

Mobile-First Strategy Boon for Dealers Globally
In 2014, mobile device use by in-market auto shoppers increased 35 percent year over year. Potential customers are using smartphones and tablets to research and compare cars and deals. To accommodate this shift, a mobile-first perspective is required in digital marketing.
Search Optics works globally with more than 1,000 auto dealers and OEMs, approaching lead generation from a mobile-first perspective using Blueprint. According to The Social Media Hat, nearly half of consumers say they won’t return to a website if it doesn’t load properly on their mobile devices, making a mobile-first marketing strategy, backed by real people, essential. On average, after switching to Blueprint responsive design, necessary for a mobile-first experience, dealers experience a 36 percent average lift in conversion rate and 19 percent average lift in lead volume.
