WebVisible announces phenomenal growth during first half of 2009

Expanded direct sales model and excellent campaign performance through superior technology platform drive headcount and triple-digit growth

IRVINE, Calif., July 1, 2009 WebVisible, Inc., the leading provider of local online marketing products and services, today announced it has thrived during the first half of 2009, even as the overall advertising industry struggles in the current economy.

The company has expanded its direct sales channel tenfold and has nearly tripled sales from 2008 during the first six months of 2009. WebVisible is on track to post nearly 155 percent year-over-year revenue growth.

WebVisible provides comprehensive Internet marketing programs that help local businesses more effectively compete with larger organizations and win new customers through a powerful online presence that includes search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, Bing and Ask.

Small business customers are really responding to our online marketing services because we offer them solid, quantitative return on investment at a level they can't find in any other advertising medium, said Bill Lupo, vice president of sales at WebVisible.

WebVisible has hired 45 people since the beginning of the year and opened an East Coast sales office. This month WebVisible also add over 6,000 square feet of office space adjacent to its current building near the University of California, Irvine campus.

The key to our success in providing online marketing services to small businesses is our technology platform, said Kevin Ryan, chief marketing officer at WebVisible. We're able to provide quality, results-based programs on a highly scalable basis. And because of the intelligence and automation built into the system, our customers realize the value and become lifetime customers; whereas, others in the industry are struggling with churn. We're also seeing huge growth in our WebVisible Enterprise offering which offers online marketing services and tools for franchises, national advertisers and agencies.

The company's programs are powered by its proprietary Geneva software platform, which automatically manages the entire lifecycle of order management, deployment and optimization to ensure the maximum amount of exposure for each individual merchant. Advertisers determine if their ads run locally, regionally or nationally. They can also easily customize their campaigns to direct traffic to current promotions, sales events or other initiatives. WebVisible provides comprehensive tracking and a Web-based reporting site that enables them to easily monitor the results and effectiveness of their online marketing campaigns. And, with 59 percent of small businesses still lacking a Web site (Warrillow, 2008), WebVisible offers the option of customized landing Web pages to coincide with and maximize the effectiveness of their marketing program.
