Real Estate Marketing Company
“I want to thank both of you for your tremendous work on the new Morris Website. It looks fantastic and everyone here is delighted with it!
I really appreciate the amazing responsiveness, dedication and quality of work both of you put into this project. We accomplished in five weeks what would normally be a three month process. Best of all, the new site is elegant, professional and rock solid. All the things we were hoping to achieve in an incredibly compressed timeline.
Once again – my thanks and congratulations to both of you!”
Travel and Tourism
“I am pleased to continue working with the team at Spark. In particular, I would like to make special mention of the contributions of your Media and Email marketing team lead. The competitive research for media buys as well as the results on our email campaign have been exceptional. The results and the CPA on the media buys look promising so far. I look forward to your next proposal for Conversion optimization and affiliate marketing.”
Consumer brand home security
“Since we have used Spark, our leads have increased dramatically and our organic placements, within 7 months are fantastic. Our costs per lead have steadily gone down and we are investing even more with Spark/internet marketing strategies. We are very happy with the results.”
E commerce-retail
“We tried many different marketing ideas before we gave the go ahead to Spark. Our budgets for marketing are tight and to be honest, we were hesitant in doing any internet marketing because the research available to us regarding our industry was not promising. The sales results (not just the internet stats) really improved with Spark’s involvement. They have now become a very key component to the continued growth of our company”
Heavy Machinery
“Client sells used forklifts for $5000-$100,000 from online inquiries. 100% of business is from online leads. They were doing their SEO and PPC campaign in house and spending considerable resources on the organicSEO and about $5000 on PPC. Since we took over their online campaign in 2007, their sales have increased by 200% as a result of increase in organic traffic while their PPC spend has been nearly eliminated.”
Business to Consumer loans
“We are pleased with our ongoing relationship with Spark and are excited with the results. Our industry is fairly competitive and the online competition for our keywords is tough and is only going to get worse. After Spark took over our PPC campaign, the gains in leads and revenue have been impressive. It has been well worth our investment and the ROI on our marketing dollar makes it a pleasure working with the team at Spark. Their advice on design, analytics and conversion have been great”
Major Resort/travel and tourism
“It is truly a pleasure working with Adam Green and the Spark Marketing team, who provides invaluable support to our business. Their analytical approach to our strategic business goals has helped us achieve stellar results, both on the SEO side and from our Google Adwords campaigns. It is clear that the team stays on top of the curve and is always working with the best of current technology to achieve our stated objectives.”
Non OHIP Clinic
“I have been working with Clive Lobo since 2003. I have found the relationship most beneficial. Clive was the first person to explain to me the importance of site engine optimization in order to drive traffic towards our internet site. He has coupled this with a very personable approach and financial analysis. I have learned a great deal about our business through our association and begun to understand the dynamics of growing a business. His advice has been invaluable to a relative business novice such as myself, an MD. His CPA and marketing background combine naturally to help us allocate appropriate monies to various marketing media.
Consumer Services
“Mark ran his own PPC campaign and we reduced his PPC Spend from $2K per month to close to $1200 while increasing his new leads. “In the couple of months I have been working with Spark, they have increased my first page rankings from 39 poorly placed first page phrases to over 52 well placed phrases on Google, Yahoo! and MSN. Their recommendations to add stronger conversion tactics to my website has increased the number of leads generated through my website. I am extremely happy with the results and only regret that I did not sign on earlier.”
Business to Business Services
“As per your request to send you feedback on your operations team- I would like to mention that I am very pleased with working with Spark. Your staff is very hardworking and goes out of their way to help us achieve our corporate goals as it pertains to internet marketing. The website looks great. We have received several complements on our site. I have referred business to you and will continue to do so in the future”
Design and Marketing Firm
“Just want to let you guys know that the leads have been great. Your PPC campaign with SEO have sent us a lot more leads than we expected. Given the competitiveness of our industry-(web Design), going into this I was a sceptic and did not expect much to happen. I am amazed, some days we have received upto 5 leads in a single day, this is great. We love working with your team and of course continue to promote you to our design clients”
Non OHIP Clinic
“Dear Clive, I just want to take a few minutes to thank you for all the effort that you have put into our business. You have been more than an internet marketing consultant; you have been a mentor and a partner in our success.Before meeting you, our Centre was the best-kept secret in the hair transplant world. We had a dedicated, experienced team and physician and could produce world-class results but nobody knew about us. We tried traditional marketing with bright and creative marketing consultants for a year but my self-(poorly)- managed pay-per-click campaign outperformed all other marketing. Our web-site was 20 plus pages deep on any internet search.Since Spark took over the PPC campaign we were getting twice as many calls and emails within weeks and our total internet marketing expenses decreased! Within 2 weeks of starting SEO with Spark we were on the first page for many keywords.
As valuable as your help with internet marketing has been, your assistance and advice about our business practices has been even more helpful. Before meeting you, I only did the business work because I had to do it to do the hair transplants I truly enjoyed. You have recommended excellent business books that have changed how I think about business, have introduced me to other peers and business owners, and inspired me to enjoy the business almost as much as I enjoy doing hair transplants. You have helped us improve our business and “sales” practices so that we can better meet the needs of our prospective patients that contact us, consult with us, and later have hair transplants with us. Most importantly we have been able to do this without compromising our medical professionalism.
When you predicted that we could double our leads, consultations, and hair transplants within six months, I was encouraged but have to admit that I was a bit skeptical. Not quite 5 months into our 6 month plan, I not only feel that we can reach our goals but have the tools to see that we are going to achieve them. I would not hesitate to recommend Spark to friends and colleagues and have, in fact, already done so. Thanks again for all your help.”

Once again great work I look forward to getting our online campaigns started.”

“I have been impressed and love working with Hayden on your team. We are on page 1 of the competitive keywords that drive our business. Haydens work and non traditional thinking have been key.

“Working with your team has been great. Your team is competent, transparent and honest in their communication with me and easy to deal with. With respect to search engine marketing from a quantitative perspective, within 6 months, we moved from having 200 phrases on the first page of Google MSN and Yahoo to over 1900 on page 1. This has had an incredible impact on leads generated. I have recommended your team to my peers and look forward to working with you in the future.”
Lasik clinic East Coast
“We adore the people at Spark! Eye Q Laser would not be the successful growing clinic it is without the constant suggestions and overall marketing program that Spark Internet Marketing implemented.

“I have known the owners of Spark for over 5 years. I have enjoyed our relationship over the years. We implemented PPC last year for our business. Our business is very unique and with a simple pay per click campaign we are getting leads. I have recommended and continue to recommend Spark’s services to friends and business associates”
Web Design firm Toronto
“I just want to thank you for the work that your team has done. We are a internet web design company ourselves -almost competitors, and are quite knowledgeable and savvy with pay per click and all things internet based. When your team took over our campaign, I have to admit that we were sceptical to a certain extent. In the past we had tried a couple of internet marketing companies doing PPC without success. Within a very short period we can clearly see a difference! Our online leads have increased significantly. I am glad to have found a local company that I can refer my client to.”
Lasik Clinic
“When AMO had recommended using Spark Internet marketing for a new website and search engine marketing, we had just re designed our website. After using Spark-getting yet another new website and starting our web optimization, our online leads increased dramatically-new leads went from 30 a month to over 120 per month; internet based leads is currently the number one source of new patients.The new website has definitely made it a lot easier to communicate with patients; we now find that patients are a lot more educated about the Lasik procedure and our experience with lasik. This saves us a lot of time and overall has provided a much better experience to the patients. Patents are not intimidated and seem more relaxed when they come in.I have found the team at Spark easy to work with. They understand and care about our goals and our vision and go out of their way to make their interactions with us very personal and enjoyable. I strongly recommend Spark.”

I will update you on the leads I got, a couple were small and in Bradford, A couple had less than 10ppl but Today I went on the Bardon Heating in Ajax Its small but worth it as they have a sales counter where they give free coffee to customers.

Also we got Global and Berlitz also Out of 7 contacts, 3 were to small and of the 4 I went to we got them all !!!!! Must be luck of the Irish eh. Anyway thanks to you Adam and Spark.”
Home cleaning Services
“The people at Spark are just amazing. I purchased xxxxxx Service this year. What made the purchase more attractive is the noticeable increase in sales as a result of xxxx linking up with Spark Internet. The main advertising for xxxx over the many years was the Yellow Pages. The advertising campaign in the Yellow Pages was unfortunately ‘good money going after bad’ so when ‘good money went towards great advertising – via Spark ‘ the results came through and the business became very attractive for us to buy. Spark also updated the xxxx Maid Service website at an affordable rate and let’s just say the incredible website we now have thanks to them and the placement we are in in Google as a result has kept xxxx in the forefront of the cleaning industry. We are very thankful for this and are happy we purchased City Wide Maid Service. We are looking forward to a long and lasting relationship with Spark and continuing to grow into many cities and provinces with their help.”
Vacation Rentals
“I hired Spark Internet Marketing back in 2007 to help me market my new vacation rentals website. My booked rentals have tripled in 2 years and I’ve actually taken started to rent other properties to fulfill all the rental requests that I now receive. 100% of my bookings are now generated from my website. Thanks again Spark!”
E-Commerce
“I finally am living proof that the 4 hour week can exist. Spark has allowed me an incredible lifestyle. My unique product now dominates search engines! And The PPC makes me money as well. Thanks for this. I am looking forward to doubling our conversion rate with the new website!!”
Internet Marketing Company Toronto.
“As CEO and owner of Spark, I am thrilled with the work my team has done on our corporate website. It is true that we spend far too much time working on our clients and ignoring the organic Optimization of our own website.When I asked my director of search to go to town on one phrase for the fun of it, he did exactly that. And I cannot tell you how happy I am to know that we have employed the best of the best. With a handful of links and on a few hours, he has beaten all other firms with a significantly longer online history and links for the phrases I have asked him to work on. We are aware that our competitors have teams 10 times the size dedicated to these phrases.I am also very pleased with the response we are getting with our PPC team. I love my job and working for the clients of Spark and of course call me biased, I strongly recommend this team. We have managed to attract and retain extremely competent staff that will not cut corners or stretch the truth in any way.”
Antiques Dealer Toronto
“As a result of our work together, I’ve gotten a flood of leads – more that I can handle. It’s an old case of ‘Careful what you wish for, it just might come true.Right from the start your process was very sound and the service level was incredible. I would be glad to refer you to others, your company does incredible work, and delivers results!”
