ROI-Driven Content Marketing

We’ll work with your marketing team in person to build a content marketing engine that drives high-quality leads at a low acquisition cost.

Stop wasting time and money on ineffective content marketing.

Many companies are spending thousands of dollars per year on people, software and paid promotion without a clear idea of the ROI they’re getting from their content marketing efforts. Their challenges typically include: publishing content that attracts the wrong audience, not knowing how to drive high amounts of traffic to their blog, and not being able to convert quality customers (or track how many they’re getting) from content.

Grow and Convert Live takes the guesswork out of content marketing.

We’ll come into your office and work with your team to develop a content marketing strategy that attracts your best customers. You’ll walk out of our one day working session with a clear idea of how you’ll drive more customers from your blog, goals to start hitting, and a CAC model that you can show to your boss and prove the ROI of the channel. We’ll train you and your marketing team on our proven content marketing framework that’s driven millions of dollars in leads for companies.

We guarantee you’ll walk away from our 1-day working session with a clear path to paying customers from your content marketing operation.

Custom Problem Solving

Grow and Convert Live is structured to solve your company's exact content marketing challenges. Here are four example challenges and solutions generalized from past participants.

Challenge: Measuring ROI

Problem: "We don't know the ROI of our content marketing spend. We don't know how many leads/sales/signups we get from blog posts."

Solutions: We walk through your exact content-to-lead-flow (on the spot, at your computer), look at how your analytics are setup, show how they should ideally be setup, and list out exactly what goals you need to setup, how to do it, and if any fundamental UI/UX changes need to be made.

Challenge: Driving Qualified Leads

Problem: "We're getting traffic, but it's the wrong traffic. Our content is not attracting 'good' leads for our business. Sales reps are complaining."

Solutions: We'll audit your content strategy and make sure you're writing about topics that attract the right customers. We'll also show you how to increase conversions from more qualified leads by modifying your CTAs and CTA copy. In other words we'll help you put more Q into MQL.

Challenge: Driving Traffic

Problem: "We have good content, we just don't get a lot of traffic to it. We have a promotion problem."

Solutions: We'll show you a system for finding where your target audience already hangs out online and then show you how to get in front of them. We'll also discuss (where appropriate) leveraging influencers in you space to find large collections of good prospects for your business.

Challenge: Finding Writers

Problem: "We need to find people who can write about our industry. Neither our founders or I have enough time to write all of the content."

Solutions: There's a process for building a freelance content team that scales. We'll show you how to build up a team of high quality content writers and manage them so you can focus your time on driving traffic and leads.
