The second edition of this study measures how well Canadian cities economic development organizations (EDOs) are marketing their regions to potential investors via the web. Their uses of various Web 2.0 tools were assessed and the availability of relevant and current content for site selectors on the agency's website was considered as a part of the ranking process.

"In this second edition of the Canadian Cities Online Marketing Index©, we have seen, at one end of the spectrum, new comers that are engaging on web 2.0 applications and at the other end, agencies already active for two years.  These agencies are building strong content strategies to position their regional leadership on the North American landscape." says Isabelle Poirier, President of Intelegia and investment strategist.
