What is CDAP?
The Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP), by the Government of Canada, helps small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) adopt digital technologies to increase their competitiveness. Eligible businesses will receive a grant of up to $15,000 to build their digital plan, followed by a 0% loan of up to $100,000 to implement it.
How Does It Work?
First, find out if your business is eligible for our program. Within the CDAP, there are also grants and micro-grants you may qualify for, such as the Boost Your Business Technology grant. Once you’ve submitted an application and are selected, you’ll work with a digital advisor– an expert in e-commerce, digital marketing, SEO, and other strategies who can help you grow your business online. They’ll come up with a digital-based plan for your company and show you how to implement it in order to boost sales/leads and become a solid competitor within the market.
What Does It Cover?
The loan covers items directly related to the digital plan. Some examples are:
- Website Upgrades you can build an e-commerce or lead capture component to your strategy.
- Digital Marketing Double or Triple your website traffic with Google and Facebook prospects.
- Search Engine Optimization Establish a strong Search Engine presence that will last for years to come.
- New Technologies Installation
- Advisory Services on particular aspects of the digital adoption plan
- Materials & Support Services directly related to onboarding the technology
- Staff Development on new onboarded technologies
Does Your Business Qualify?
You may qualify for the grant if you meet the Government of Canada’s four key criteria for applicants:
Why Digital Marketing is So Crucial Right Now
The last decade or so has made it clear: investing in an effective online marketing strategy is one of the smartest things you can do for your company’s success. One major aspect of digital marketing that can set you up for long-lasting growth is SEO (search engine optimization), which aims to get your business found on Google for whatever your customers may be searching for. Mastering SEO takes a lot of research, skill, and trial and error. But once you figure out what best works for your business, your web traffic and leads will increase exponentially.
It’s also crucial to have a strategy for turning those leads into dollars. There’s no absolute right or wrong way to capture leads and convert them into sales, but taking the time to nail down an efficient strategy will change the way your business grows and set you up for the future.
