How Rizen Helped

 
  • Using Hubspot

    Using Hubspot

    Hubspot provided a picture of traffic sources, keywords and referral websites which immediately determined that referral sites accounted for 30% of their business and 70% through organic rankings.
  • Reallocated Recources

    With a paid campaign yielding zero results, those resources were moved to other paid advertising avenues and call tracking was set up. This allowed us to account for all incoming leads.
  • Converted Website to WordPress

    We converted the website to Wordpress and the blog to Hubspot’s COS, allowing for client to easily add and edit content and meta data. We implemented the Growth Driven Design methodology and altered the website design on a quarterly basis versus once every 3 years.
  • Created Buyer Personas

    Using the Inbound Methodology, target customers and niches were identified. Content was created around personas, offering content potential customers wanted to read vs. producing content just for Google indexing.

    Created a Focused Content Process

    Implemented PPC using Inbound Methodology

    We implemented Pay Per Click (PPC) on Google Adwords, LinkedIn and Facebook. On Google, we setup Image Ads and Text ads on both the content network and search network. We implemented a remarketing strategy and tracked conversions down to the campaign level. For LinkedIn and Facebook, we sponsored content and ran text ads targeting people by their demographic with known buyer personas. For these PPC campaigns, custom landing pages were designed using best practices.
