A Proven Methodology

As search engines transition into thinking as humans, old SEO practices are no longer as relevant for gaining customer interest. Old outbound marketing methods of buying ads, buying email lists, and praying for leads, have been on a decline. These methods of marketing are being replaced by a proven practice that works and is far more cost effective, inbound marketing. It focuses on creating quality content that pulls people toward your company and product, where they naturally want to be. By aligning the content you publish with your customer’s interests, you naturally attract inbound traffic that you can then convert, close, and delight over time.

Interpreting The Infographic

Attract, Convert, Close, and Delight represent the four (4) stages that a company goes through in order to obtain new vistors, create leads, and convert more customers. The middle graphics show the stages a visitor turns into a customer and into a promotor of your business. Below each of the four (4) main areas are the main tools used to take the customer from first touch point, to close, and on to customer retention.

Attract

We don’t want just any traffic to our site, we want the right traffic. We want the people who are most likely to become leads, and, ultimately, happy customers. 
  • Blogging

Convert

Once you’ve got visitors to your site, the next step is to convert those visitors into leads by gathering their contact information. At the very least, you’ll need their email addresses.

  • Demos
  • Free Trials
