Ingredients

Method

(also known as our strategies to grow your business)

1. An easy-to-navigate website is the starting point of your digital marketing.
   Links to the information you want to share must be available there; as must landing pages specific to the offers you will be sharing (using the other ingredients.)
2. Meaningful, SEO-rich content will be blended into your website.
   Involving your audience through content marketing such as ebooks, blogs, calls-to-action and the like pulls your prospects in, and keeps them coming back for more.
3. Being super accessible through social media marketing helps you to direct your audience to the content they want on your website. It’s a great way to start conversations with your fans, which can then be recycled as content in the form of testimonials.
4. Once you know your audience, use paid advertising such as PPC to continue to remind them who you are. Keep your business in the forefront of their minds.
5. As with all recipes, monitoring the results of your inbound marketing campaign is vital to ensure you tweak what needs changing, and continue with what is working.
