About CourthouseDirect.com

CourthouseDirect.com is an innovative technology company that provides online access to courthouse documents. Since its founding in 1999, the Houston-based business had built an impressive reputation among real estate professionals, including abstractors, appraisers, real estate agents and title agents – but they wanted to get their products in front of more landmen, a specialized vertical in the oil and gas industry.

Goals / Challenges

CourthouseDirect.com’s participation in local events, trade shows and conferences meant they had a solid industry presence – but their continued growth meant a more cohesive marketing strategy was in order, particularly where their online efforts were concerned. They wanted to ensure more new prospects could find them online while they focused their efforts on penetrating the promising oil and gas market … and that’s exactly where we came in to help.

The Process / The Solution / What We Did

Bonafide had already grown CourthouseDirect.com’s customer base through an integrated marketing campaign rooted in content production. So when they asked us to help them attract a new customer segment – the landman – we knew content was once again key. We created a series of highly targeted content vehicles geared toward oil and gas specialists, including articles, blog posts, infographics and a comprehensive eBook on the landman profession.

What’s more, we worked with respected industry bloggers and official organizations, like the American Association of Professional Landmen (AAPL), to demonstrate credibility and attract a greater audience for our materials. To build buzz within the industry, content distribution was scheduled around the annual NAPE conference, where CourthouseDirect.com planned to introduce their innovative “Lease Alert” product.

Results / How It Worked

Our content-based approach paid off big for CourthouseDirect.com, with a 609% increase in overall organic traffic to their website and a 279% growth in total leads. Over the course of the campaign, we were able to generate over 1200 highly qualified landman leads via our targeted eBooks and infographic, leading to increased business and further industry buzz. And with a successful entry into the oil and gas market under their belt, CourthouseDirect.com could spend less time worrying about attracting new customers – and more time developing their next game-changing tool.
