THE OPPORTUNITY
Lou Malnati got his start in the 1940's working in Chicago's first deep dish pizzeria. He took his pizza expertise to Lincolnwood, a northern suburb of Chicago, where he and his wife Jean opened the first Lou Malnati's Pizzeria on March 17, 1971.
Lou Malnati's has 50 physical locations and a booming national ecommerce business shipping the country's leading deep dish pizza from TastesofChicago.com. During the evaluation cycle with BrightEdge, Kerri Phillips, digital marketing manager, focused strongly on the Opportunity Forecasting prediction and the Share of Voice analysis in the fiercely competitive Chicago deep-dish market.
THE SOLUTION
"Originally what sold us on the BrightEdge SEO platform was Opportunity Forecasting and Share of Voice, and they showed us what investing in SEO could do for us," Phillips says.
"We have really focused on local SEO for the restaurants to improve how we get the right restaurant to show up when customers are searching for one or arranging a delivery. The biggest local effort was the downtown Chicago campaign, where competition is fiercest. We plugged in our competitors and looked at what they were doing and where were our opportunities and started optimizing. And BrightEdge has been a key part of that."
THE RESULTS
LouMalnatis.com and TastesofChicago.com have both seen a 30% revenue increase in both the restaurants and the ecommerce business. They have beaten every goal they set.
BrightEdge Opportunity Forecasting has been dead on. We have beat every goal we set for two years running.

Adobe Achieves Over 5,900 Quick Answers on Google
THE PROBLEM
Adobe works to cover as much organic search real estate as possible and does not want competitors or distribution partners to appear above it on search engine results pages. Quick Answers display at the top of the page and are part of the Google Knowledge Graph that presents factual how-to information on topics with high query volume. The Quick Answer boxes deliver incremental traffic that Adobe wants to capture.
THE SOLUTION
Kirill Kronrod, Senior Global SEO Manager at Adobe, has figured out what conditions increase the chances of securing the Quick Answer Box. Kronrod uses BrightEdge Data Cube to prioritize the most in-demand topics and phrases and BrightEdge Content Strategies and Universal Results report to track his progress in securing this valuable real estate.

Kronrod’s results are truly impressive with more than 5,900 Quick Answer boxes secured. Adobe has also shown a 17% incremental lift on topics on which it has secured the Quick Answer box. The results contribute millions of additional visitors to Adobe.com. Kronrod reports that within the subset of 2,000 How-To phrases, 60% produced Quick Answers, contributing to 84% share of voice with Quick Answer boxes for the main site and 98% including supporting sites. See Kirill's Share video.
