So you’ve looked around, you’ve talked to your friends and colleagues who own businesses, and you’ve come to the conclusion that Inbound Marketing — whatever that is — is the way to go. You know that performing well in search engine rankings is important, and you know you need to be doing more with social media… but quite frankly, it’s all a bit overwhelming! You’re not sure where to start, so you call a digital marketing agency like Waypost Marketing and ask some questions… What’s this all about? How do all the pieces fit together? How much can I expect to pay for something like this?
Whoa. You’re hit with sticker shock!
Why should it cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars a month to have a company write a few blog articles and post a few Tweets for you?
What Am I Getting For My Inbound Marketing Budget?
In order to help you understand why the sticker price is higher than you might have been expecting, let me break down for you what all we actually do.
When doing keyword research, I look at it from a lot of different angles. These include:
This is where I sit down with your website and take a look at it through the eyes of the uninitiated. I’m putting myself in the mindset of someone who needs your services and looking at things like:
At this point, I’m figuring out who we will be talking to when we write your content. What is their demographic information? How do they get their news? What are they like? This involves a lot of research because we need to be as specific as possible. By the end of this stage, we want to have a storyline written for each persona your business has.
We spend hours researching, writing, and editing each piece of content we create, as well as selecting appropriate images, and formatting them. A good blog post can run anywhere from 2-6 hours, depending on depth and technicality of subject, and it should! We spend this time making sure that our posts are fresh, original, engaging, educating, and compelling, and we do not take this responsibility lightly.
Once your blog posts are created, we then have to distribute them, promote them, and often engage with your audience. This takes time, and leads to…
We spend time monitoring the performance of your posts, emails, social media activity, and so on. We analyze our data and create reports to send to you in order to keep you apprised of your progress. If a piece isn’t performing like we think it should be, we will sit down as a team and take a look at possible causes and develop new strategies to use going forward.
What this all boils down to is that inbound marketing takes a lot of time. At Waypost Marketing, we put many, many hours of work into each level of each client’s inbound marketing plan, from development to implementation to review. We invest a lot — you should too!
If you’re still thinking that all of this sounds like too much work, maybe you want to consider what a website visitor is worth to you. The importance of Inbound Marketing isn’t that we spend so much time posting to Facebook — it’s that every visitor is a potential lead, and we know how to get those potential leads to you.
