Historical Results:Success
Phenomenal YOY growth in lead volume. Over 50% growth in leads generated per month. Many of our leads are sales qualified ( 25% request
pricing) Organic is our primary driver of SQLs (55%) and sales
(61%) Rounds of A/B testing have proven successful LinkedIn advertising campaigns convert at very high
rates (some above 20-40%) which means a low CPL

Historical Results:Success Continued
Overall keyword performance has been strong since we started blogging in July 2013.
Our section of the blog “Insights in IT Security” has had long-term sustained growth It only grows “organically”. We pull in traffic from highly
targeted keywords. Traffic to Insights converts at higher rates than the same
sources to the main site. We’ve been able to push from 1.1% total conversion rate
(prior to working with us) to 1.5%+

Historical Results:Problem Areas
A few months ago, a new client contact took over. He was the VP of Sales and is now the VP of Sales and Marketing.
Our blog is “hidden” from view. You can’t find it from the main site. The only way to find it is through organic sources of traffic.
The site is built on wordpress, of which we don’t have access. There’s little we can do to adjust individual pages. They have yet to find an internal web dev after losing theirs in January.

Historical Results:Problem Areas Continued
Content demands are heavy. They require two whitepapers per month, and 12 blogs.
We’re working towards a 2% sitewide conversion rate, but 50% of their traffic goes to pages not meant for marketing. Software tutorials File downloads Help documents
Despite strong long-term growth, client will get concerned about monthly, and even weekly, fluctuations.
We are not hitting our Social Media KPIs
www.contentmarketingblueprint.com
Q1 Insights
We’re up 6.5% in traffic and 4.16% in leads over last quarter. Paid search and AB testing has paid off. However,
conversion is down 0.03%. Content production has increased this quarter (10-12 per month) vs. much of last quarter (8 per month).
In the short-term, moving towards our goal of 2% conversion is heavily dependent on paid search due to it’s high conversion rate

Q1 Insights Continued
We’re not receiving the volume we need from paid search. If we can increase linkedin ad traffic, while maintaining a 10%+ conversion rate, that will really help in driving up our site-wide conversion rate.
How can we increase social media results along the following KPIs: Fan/follower counts Leads Customers
www.contentmarketingblueprint.com
Q1 Insights Continued
Our hands are partially tied in regards to conversion rate. We have plenty of offers, we do A/B testing, but we’re subject to the following limitations: Can’t adjust internal site pages for conversion due to lack
of access Half of our traffic is not meant to convert (i.e. downloading
essential software files or accessing help documents
Despite these conditions, are there other things we could be doing to push conversion rates up?

Recommendations from Q1
Emphasis on Linkedin advertising to hit 2% conversion KPI
Premium link building campaign to increase organic traffic & overall lead quality.
Retargeter ads through Visiseek to help increase lead quality of paid search. This is somewhat of a hybrid because the ads will only be shown to previous organic, direct, referral visitors (historically high quality leads).
