LivePerson, Inc., a provider of online conversion solutions, and ineedhits, a leading search marketing firm for small business owners, today announced a joint marketing agreement to offer their services to each company's respective small business client base.
Under the terms of the agreement, by using the new SEO Wizard Reseller Solution developed by ineedhits, LivePerson will provide access to ineedhits' search engine optimization and submission tools to the company's small business customers and ineedhits will refer customers interested in live chat solutions directly to LivePerson.
Sales Manager of ineedhits, Peter Gavalas, says "Our businesses have similar customer bases and we understand how important it is to drive traffic to a site with strong search marketing and then have the sales conversion tools such as LivePerson to convert every opportunity. We would be lost without LivePerson as it helps us handle the hundreds of queries we receive daily. Some may know we are based in Australia, but the majority of our clients are in the U.S., so a remote service is priceless."
"This agreement is about improving the shopping experience for today's online consumer," said LivePerson CEO Robert LoCascio. The search marketing tools provided by ineedhits make Internet searches more accurate and allow consumers to connect faster to the E-commerce sites they need. Our live chat solutions complement this service, providing consumers with the information they need through the immediacy of a live interaction."
