Joe Martin discusses the importance of tracking core metrics and the need for consistency in any successful marketing strategy.
Key Points
- Three core metrics are important for a marketer to track: marketing qualified leads, sales qualified leads, and pipeline or revenue. Customer quotes, reviews, and case studies are great for marketing campaigns and sales decks.
- A successful marketing strategy requires consistency. Marketing, especially SEO, takes time, so plan on nine to 12 months of blogging and optimizing your website to match what people are searching for.
- In today's digital age, marketing should be measurable. For small businesses, it's best to focus on their Google My Business profile, actively engage with reviews, have a Facebook business page, and maintain a small website presence. TikTok offers excellent algorithms and interesting niches. A self-created video could potentially go viral.
- Ensure that your demand generation strategies are trackable and tailored to your target audience. Google provides numerous free tools that you can set up yourself, so take advantage of available resources and tutorials on platforms like YouTube.
