London, 11 July 2013 – Leading online marketing agency Gladior has signed up as a Dutch agency partner for Searchmetrics’ online search and social analytics software.  Gladior is using Searchmetrics to boost campaign analysis, keyword research and reporting, integrating the Searchmetrics data with its own online marketing tools.

Searchmetrics provides Gladior with insights into organic and paid keywords, enabling comprehensive keyword research and analysis of competitor search strategies and performance. The agency is using the social data provided by Searchmetrics to enhance the services and advice it provides to clients in this fast expanding area.

Active since 2000, Gladior is an experienced and innovative online marketing agency, which is one of the pioneers of search engine marketing in the Netherlands. It has a wide range of experience across multiple industries, aiming to help companies create exposure and visibility in search engines to help generate increased online business. The agency has over 300 clients, including BVA-Auctions, Lifehammer, Tuinmeubelen.nl, RTV Oost, Profile Tyrecenter Heuver, LexisNexis and Vredestein.

Gladior’s success is built on the experience and skills of its staff and its innovative, advanced online marketing tools. Developed in-house specifically for the Dutch market, they provide insight and analysis that underpins all Gladior’s campaigns. To expand the data available through its own tools and strengthen campaign insight, Gladior carried out extensive research into potential search analytics partners.

Searchmetrics adds to our capabilities, deepening the insight we can provide through its comprehensive data. And working with Searchmetrics as its first official partner in the Netherlands is an important part of our future growth plans.”
