Developing a consistent content strategy and putting up informative content several times a week drives amazing results.
We have seen companies scale from 50 visitors a day to upwards of 3500 a day, just with content marketing alone.
The most amazing thing about this strategy, is how it grows exponentially.
Content on Auto-Pilot
Sit back and reap the benefits. Visitors coming to your website now are being driven by content you produced months ago. As you develop and write more content, more visitors will be drawn in. It builds on itself and pays you dividends in the form of passive website growth.
It’s our favourite style of marketing.
Ad rates go up and down, and if you pause them, the traffic immediately pauses. Content stays on your website and will continue to rank well if written well.

API Development
We specialize in API-first Development.
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a great way to build an application for now, while setting it up to flexibility scale moving forward. With an API First approach, you can plan your application at the outset to integrate into other applications, with an outward look towards future development.
Laravel Development
We are a dedicated Laravel shop!
We 💛 Laravel. It allows our developers to build new features quickly by focusing on the business logic.
Laravel Code Auditing
A team with deep Laravel knowledge.
Fuel Media’s developers have been using Laravel since it’s inception. From the early days of 1.x and beyond, knowing what changed between versions is just one of the benefits of having deep Laravel knowledge. This knowledge allows our team to successfully audit code, making sure your application is taking advantage of the full Laravel framework, and is optimized for speed.
VueJS + Nuxt
The NUXT front-ier!
Vue is our first choice when developing components for the front-end. The philosophy of Vue’s simplicity first matches with our own. We build some of the largest Vue applications on the Internet. Nuxt allows us to bring a common set of conventions to our larger applications. Nuxt saves our developers time by preloading a set of components and router settings, allowing them to start building the application.
React + React Native
The powerful alternative.
We still keep a place in our hearts for React driven apps. We love using this powerful framework to bring wonderful apps to life, especially when it’s our client’s preferred choice. When it comes to creating multi-platform apps, React Native is our way to go. It allows us to create native rendered applications on Android and iOS, using the power of React: single codebase, fast development, amazing results.
iOS + Mac
We are Apple to the core.
We believe in building native iOS applications build with core Apple technologies like Swift and Objective-C. By using native technologies, our package distributions are smaller and can be updated quicker. Native applications tend to be a lot quicker by being more efficient with the system resources. We are also able to take advantage of more native APIs as soon as they are released, allowing for a competitive advantage for you and your customers.
Python + Django
Pair beautifully together.
Python is a beautiful language which is available on almost every server world-wide by default. This makes Python the perfect server side scripting language for developing automation and machine learning tasks. Python is made even more extensible by building with the Django framework. Django is to Python what Laravel is to PHP. For teams that are Python first, building your application in Django is the ideal choice.
Ember JS
We will ignite your ember.
Ember started the Single-Page-Application craze. It’s the perfect platform for building large frontend applications with teams. Ember brings convention over configuration, famously popularized by Rails, to the Javascript world.

SEO vs. Analytics
Understanding the difference
SEO Getting users to your site.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) focuses on increasing both quantity and quality of organic traffic to your website.
Analytics What users are doing on your site.
Analytics track and analyze how many and what users do once they have reached your website. It provides valuable metrics like conversion rate and overall reach.
The answer to SEO is almost always MORE content.
Mo Content. Mo Traffic.
In the organic search traffic game, content is king. The more, the better. When content is strategically produced to align with keyword goals, your likelihood of ranking exponentially increases. This means developing a lot of pages for your website that include valuable information (to both users and search engines) and posting consistently over time. This is your long game. An organic ranking strategy takes time, but is well worth the ROI in the end.
$1 of organic traffic is worth $100 of paid traffic.
Domain Authority: The Secret Number to Ranking Higher in Google
We talk about this one so much, we have a whole detailed blog on the secret number to ranking higher in Google The short of it is that domain authority (or domain ranking) is like the credit score of your domain. And akin to credit scores, higher means better. When competing for the same keyword, domains with a high domain authority will always rank higher than those with a lower domain authority. Due to this, domain authority and working on increasing your score is a key part of any SEO strategy at Fuel Media.
So what do I do while I wait for my SEO and Domain Authority to take off?
SEO takes time and domain authority to gain steam. You should start with a good marketing strategy that will tailer your digital marketing to position you ahead of the pack.

We understand that there is no one-size-fits-all marketing plan for business.
This is one of the reasons why we believe so much in testing.
You can’t always know what your customers are thinking.
Most people greatly underestimate the need for marketing and how much traffic they need to drive to their business. You need to be able to adapt to new opportunities and explore markets with different needs and wants then you’re used to. If you need to get 10 sales a day, then you need to show it to 1000 people a day.
Let’s say that you own a mid-range clothing line, and you do most of your sales offline in your store.
Let’s do a little math to show an example, you have a:
0.9%
Online to In-store Conversion Rate
If they have to come into your store, around 0.9% of web traffic will visit in person.
2.4%
Online Conversion Rate
Online conversion rates for shopping for clothes come in at about 2.4%.
So your goal should be:
Getting 111 people to visit your website to get a foot in the door
You would need 10 sales per day to break-even
Gather 1100+ web visitors a day
That’s ok though, because online you’re able to reach new markets and customers you never thought possible.
Finding the Chink in the Armour
If you take a look at most business’s marketing, you’re going to find it’s the exact same as all of their competitors. All real estate agents buy fancy lawn signs and bus benches. Car dealerships buy billboards and radio spots. Manufacturers advertise with trade show booths and magazine ads.
Doesn’t this seem strange? Why would you do the exact same thing as your competitors? You’re competing for the same people with the same materials.
You’re playing a zero-sum game before you even get started!
The better strategy would be to go after the “chink” in your industry’s armour. They exist in every industry. Take a look at how those same industries could reinvent how they get customers.
Real Estate Agents
If you’re a real estate agent in Barrie or Sudbury, you probably think prices are pretty cheap compared to Toronto. Go tell Toronto investors the great value they’re missing. Create a direct response campaign about how you could “buy two duplex’s for the price of a single-family home in Toronto”. You could expand your client base overnight.
Car Dealership
Run a direct response campaign on Facebook for people with cars that are 7 years or older. Offer free safety assessments and invite them to your showroom. Get them in the door and connected to your brand. If they don’t buy a car from you that day, the purchase won’t be that far off.
Manufacturers
Each week we talk to manufacturers that are getting beat by China, India, Brazil, and others. Many of these manufacturers can compete on price and crush everyone on quality. But nobody knows, because they only reach a small number of people whom they believe to be their target market. Expand your reach! Make sure people are thinking about your business before they ever go searching on Alibaba.

In 2020, e-commerce catapolted from a nice-to-have to a need-to-have for almost every business.
Once used primarily for simple product + shipping transactions, e-commerce has become an essential business tool for every type of transaction. This shifted consumer expectations. Consumers, who are now sitting comfortably on their sofa, expect they can buy products, services, digital materials, digital events, subscriptions, custom manufacturing, or even pay for a piece of capital equipment by purchase order online.
If you are not providing this, you are missing a piece of the action.
“The sooner we drop the ‘e’ out of ‘e-commerce’ and just call it commerce, the better.”
BOB WILLETT, FORMER PRESIDENT OF BEST BUY INTERNATIONAL
An e-commerce store is much than just an ‘Add to Cart’ button.
Don’t get us wrong, we need a cart button somewhere. However, the bigger question is often what happens after checkout.
At Fuel Media, we have been around the e-commerce block quite a few times and we know what questions to ask. We work with our clients on look and feel of their e-commerce website, but also how it will function from a business standpoint.
Whether you are selling clothing, fishing supplies or hot tub covers, we can accelerate your store. We help our clients grow with conversion-driven design, fulfillment strategy, business tool integrations, order management software, and more.
“Build it and they will come” does not work for e-commerce.
Unless you have a massive list of customers you can direct market to and are ready to purchase, the “build it and they will come” strategy doesn’t work.
Building an online audience takes time and resources because what you are really building is consumer trust.
We work with our clients to build effective e-commerce marketing strategies that include a mix of reputation building, content strategy for organic search, and paid advertising to drive traffic. The mix you need will depend on factors like your company’s Domain Authority, existing online reputation, customer base, keyword difficulty in your sector, and more. We will help you navigate these waters and build a plan with precise ROI tracking.
Managing orders effectively is as important as getting the order in the first place.
Woohoo, the orders are rolling in! But, success can be a double-edged sword. We have seen many businesses struggle with this growing pain. At first, managing and fulfilling the orders is fairly easy (there are not too many open at once—and at this stage, you probably even remember the name of each customer).
However, before you know it, there are more than you can keep track of in your mind. You may begin to loose track of where shipments are, are dealing with single orders that may have multiple tracking numbers, and are completely loosing grip on profitability. This is where order management software comes in.
We build custom order management tools (with optional syncing with Shopify or WooCommerce) so you can build a workflow that actually makes sense for your business. This allows you to get ahead of problems and surface orders that need your attention, keeping your customers informed and happy.

Computers have changed. Websites have too.
Modern websites are more than a digital brochure about your company.
They are an integrated hub for your outward marketing, data management, recruitment efforts, and are tied directly into your internal processes. As the hub of your digital marketing, your website acts as an employee who facilitate first contact (and first impressions), are the face of your company online, differentiate you from competitors, qualify your leads and provide legitimacy to your business.
Develop a website with specific goals so you quantify a successful user visit.
All of our corporate website projects start with understanding your business goals, then determining how the website can achieve those goals in a trackable way. Simply putting content online without strategy makes it virtually impossible to know if the website is moving you any closer to the goal line.
Your website is ready to take on new responsibilities
With corporate websites, we most often see goals like generating more leads, recruitment, and investor positioning. We will work with you to understand your top level goals, and look for additional opportunities where your website could be streamlining other business processes.
For example:
Does HR need any easy way to post open positions on the site without needing access to the entire backend?
Would your sales department benefit from website leads connecting directly with Salesforce?
Does your internal team need an intranet where they could search company directories?
Websites That Grow
We plan your website from the start with growth in mind.
Custom Design
We hand-craft you a custom-designed website that matches your unique style and brand. Templates are NEVER used, so your image stays unique.
