Inbound Marketing

What elements should make up my Inbound Marketing?

There is no single or correct way to do inbound marketing. Also, it is not just about distributing content everywhere across all channels available. The goal is to have a presence across all channels relevant to your audience. It may vary depending in your overall goal, but generally speaking your inbound marketing campaigns should be made up of the following: social media, content creation & distribution, analytics, click through optimisation (CTO), email campaigns, landing page optimisation and search engine optimisation (SEO).

Are inbound marketing results instant?

Successful inbound marketing takes time and effort. It is about building your brand online to be truly recognisable and remarkable. Google prefers brands and they receive preferential treatment when it comes to visibility in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). Inbound marketing is about building that content and authority so you become a recognised and trusted brand. Inbound marketing is all about the long-term ROI and ensuring you use white hat tactics rather than deceptive, questionable black hat tactics, designed to trick and manipulate the Search Engine Results Pages.

Initial inbound marketing strategy process

No matter how fantastic your website looks, without traffic you are not going to generate any business. Our goal here is to achieve a measurable return of investment for you. Before we are able to make a start on crafting the right inbound marketing campaign for your business, we go through the following process:

Understand your business

In order to market your products and services effectively we need to understand what your unique selling points are? Why would a potential client choose you over a competitor? What are the products you offer with the highest profit margins?

Understand & research your customer base

Who is your typical customer? Why do they have a requirement for your product or service? Where do they tend to be based? What channels do they tend to use to find similar products and services? What are their browsing habits? What keywords are they using online?

Create your inbound marketing strategy

Using all the information gathered we create an optimal combination of marketing methods to target, reach, attract and engage your potential client base. The result will be driving qualified traffic to your website.
