CargoBot Case Study

Executive Summary

Cargobot came to Rizen with a basic one-page website that was not generating business for them. CargoBot decided that they needed expert advice with an experienced agency that understood how to grow their business using inbound marketing. Cargobot engaged Rizen for  Inbound Growth Services that include SEO, Email Marketing, Automation, Growth Driven Design, Social Media Strategy, Content Creation, Buyer Persona research, as well as Paid Advertising campaign development and management (Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google Ads). Rizen followed the Inbound methodology for Design and Marketing. We outlined the buyer personas, helped analyze Qualitative feedback from both shippers and carriers and created content for the buying stages of the website visitors. This allowed for the design, content, and PPC ads to be specifically targeted towards getting the most conversions. The content also included videos designed to educate internal and external stakeholders on their Cargobot Academy education platform.

How Rizen Helped
 
  • Using Hubspot

    Using Hubspot in 2017-2019

    HubSpot immediately started providing a picture on traffic sources, keywords and referral websites. CargoBot was documenting and tracking leads on shared spreadsheets. Through the implementation of the Hubspot CRM, they are more organized and started the process of creating closed-loop reporting. In 2018, Cargobot switched over the Hubspot COS, moving its entire website to Hubspot which Rizen designed and programmed. Rizen created automated workflows and sales sequences to reduce the time spent working per lead and increase conversions. Rizen also provided the training and support needed to implement best practices for sales and systems to help them continue to grow.
