Self-check

Three questions, one place to start

1. Do you know which calls and forms come from where?
2. Is there a written plan with a budget per channel?
3. Do you see your numbers every month?

Answer all three to see where to start.

Start with tracking. Count calls and forms by source, so the next dollar goes where leads come from.

Start with a plan. Two or three priorities, a budget per channel and the numbers to watch.

Start with a monthly report. The same numbers every month, in plain words, so you see what works.

The basics are in place. On a call we look at what to test next.

FAQ

Marketing strategy questions

What is a marketing plan for a small business?

A short document: who you sell to, which channels you use, the budget for each, what you say, and the numbers that show it works. Ours fit on a page or two.

Do we need a marketing consultant or an agency?

A consultant plans and an agency runs campaigns. We do both, so the plan is written by the people who also deliver it.

How do you decide the budget split?

From what a customer is worth to you, what each channel costs per lead in your market, and how fast you need results. We start small where we are unsure.

What does campaign strategy include?

For each campaign: the goal, the audience, the offer, the channels, the dates and the number that decides whether it continues.

What does marketing strategy consulting cost?

It depends on the scope. After the free strategy call you get a written plan with every price, one-time or monthly.
