Attract

Increasing website traffic is a lot like baking; you need a variety of ingredients that blend well to produce a great result. There is no single technique proven to generate the best results on its own.

Initially you must build a foundation designed for success by developing a robust search engine optimisation strategy. Achieving or outperforming website traffic objectives is inconceivable without it.

genuinely interested in what you offer and who’s just tyre kicking on their way through.

Content offers span each stage of the sales lifecycle or buyers journey.

 Awareness content like how to blog articles work well in the initial "awareness" stage or the top of the funnel, where the buyer has a problem or question.

 The middle or the "consideration" stage requires content that starts to provide possible solutions to buyer problems.

 It’s key to present your content in the format your personas favour, wherever they are searching and on any device, in order to successfully turn leads into a customers

Delight

Picture the pizza delivery dude that delivered your piping hot supper and he also put some

of your favourite garlic sauce in with the order, simply because he recalled that you like to dip your crusts in it.

 Or the estate agent who vacuumed your house after an open day and left you a bottle of wine. I bet you'd still be telling friends about these experiences for years.

Inbound marketing is a seismic shift in how businesses are now approaching sales & marketing. It's a methodology that attracts targeted prospects, convert more qualified leads and close more customers
