1. Competitor Analysis

Competitor analysis is the first of the 6 steps to web marketing success because understanding how your competitors have succeeded online can help you avoid the costly trial and error of testing strategies that do not work. After we disassemble your competition’s web marketing we will outline in clear detail what they have done right to be worthy of your scrutiny.

2. Website Audit

Once we have deconstructed your competitor’s web marketing techniques (Step 1) we need to become intimately aware of current state of optimization for your website and the advantages and disadvantages of the website for future marketing. Upon completion of this step we will have a significantly clearer picture of the current status of your website and another step closer to creating the ultimate Custom Web Strategy (Step 4).

3. Web Marketing Review

Step 2 provided us with a grasp of your website’s marketing readiness and effectiveness. The purpose of the Marketing Review is to evaluate all elements of your web marketing plan to complete the picture of your current web marketing profile. For example, we will review your pay-per-click marketing strategy, any applicable banner advertising, link building campaigns and any applicable social marketing campaigning you have completed to date.
