Welcome!
Welcome to LeadVenture! Whether you’re part of our Dealer Spike team, or ARI team, or both, we’re excited to have you on board. This page offers a quick overview of resources you’ll need and processes you’ll need to become familiar with. Bookmark this page, leave it open while you’re working, and use it as much as you need.
First Things First…
Your first day will be guided by our HR department and IT. They’ll work to help you get set up and in the system. They should have reached out to you prior to your first day to begin this process.
ADP
LeadVenture uses ADP as its primary time tracking software. It also tracks pay, tax, and personal information, and is also where quarterly reviews are carried out.
For a full walkthrough of all ADP features, check out the LeadVenture ADP training module.
LeadVenture Intranet
LeadVenture uses SharePoint as its shared intranet space. You can find exciting updates there, as well as assigned training and courses to build your knowledge.
Check here for the intranet home page and here for training resources.
Communication Platforms
There are a number of ways to communicate with your coworkers at LeadVenture, but the primary forms of communication are through our email provider, Outlook, and our instant messaging platform, Teams.
Both programs can be accessed using your internet browser or by downloading a desktop app. You may find one works better than the other.
Who’s Who?
Once you’ve got the basics, it’s time to meet the team! Many of your coworkers are spread across the United States and the world. You may be just down the street from a fellow writer or on the other side of the world. If you’re unsure what time zone the person you’re talking to is in, try hovering your cursor over their Teams or Outlook profile.
Digital Marketing
The entire Digital Marketing team can be found on this organization chart. You likely won’t need to interact with many of the people listed, but it can still be helpful information to have.

SEO Team
The Content Team interacts with the SEO team on a regular basis. The SEO reps are in charge of creating monthly requests and curating keyword lists that drive each client’s SEO campaign.
You can find the full list of SEO reps on the organization chart or in the Kickback Sheet on your monthly tracker.
QA Team
Our QA team assumes many responsibilities, including copy editors. They may screen some or all of your content for basic errors and let you know when larger sections require revisions. Our teams work closely together to establish best practices and create the best possible content for the clients. In fact, you’ll find a separate Teams chat reserved just for QA and Content.

Rewrite Indexes
All previously written content is kept in the LeadVenture Rewrite Indexes. The indexes are tools to help make content fulfillment easier, but there are no rules around how frequently you use them.
Dealer Folders
All content is stored in Google Drive folders assigned to specific dealers. They offer a historical record of all previously written content and also will store all future content written.
Choosing Topics
LeadVenture content covers a wide range of products and topics, some of which you may not be familiar with. Many writers come in with limited knowledge on the products we write about, which is why we have some internal documentation to help make things easier:
Up for Grabs
Sometimes, content is written, but left unassigned. This is our Up for Grabs content. You can find all our Up for Grabs pieces in this folder, or linked in the DS and ARI indexes.
