Interested in offering inbound services, but not sure if it's right for your agency? Here's everything you need to know about what it means to offer inbound services to your clients.
A marketing agency that offers inbound services is one that has adopted the fundamentals of inbound marketing -- both for themselves and their clients. But first, let's take a step back and answer the question that might be on your mind right now: What is inbound marketing?
Instead of buying email lists, relying on cold calling, and investing solely in advertising to drive demand, you create quality content that educates and delights your target audience. This drives qualified leads to your company and keeps them interested in your brand and product until they are ready to buy.
An agency that offers inbound services, believes in the inbound marketing methodology and aligns some, if not all, of its services with each phase: attract, engage and delight. Agencies who offer inbound services also focus on setting goals and delivering high ROI to their clients. Specific inbound services include:
There are a variety of things your agency can do to help a client drive traffic to their website. Some of the most important services you can offer to attract the right leads for your clients are blogging, SEO, website design and social publishing.
Once you've helped your client successfully drive traffic to their website, the next step is to separate the casual visitors from the ones with a genuine interest. Some lead generation services you can offer including calls-to-action, landing pages, form creation and contact management.
After you've generated leads, you, of course, want to convert them into paying customers for your client. Some of the best services you can offer to maximize this conversion are email marketing, marketing automation and CRM set-up.
And the best part? You can prove the value of your work to your clients. As an agency professional, you know having clear analytics that show the ROI of your efforts not only helps you improve your strategy but also helps you illustrate your agency's value to your client. By offering inbound services you can guarantee that your leads are tracked through to sales and recurring revenue.
To prove marketing ROI, you need to have a clean and easy view into all the data and reporting necessary to quickly quantify their return on client spend.. So it’s time to embrace the data, brush up on closed-loop analytics, and learn which metrics your client actually cares about. Read More.
