What is inbound Marketing l Example– 2 min/2:14HEIDI : Dan you are so right…The premise behind Inbound Marketing is that people are searching for your products and services everyday, the question is whether they are able to find your site, or your competitors. Inbound marketing is all about making it really easy for people to find your site online – whether it’s through Search Engines, Blogging or Social Media – they are all fantastic ways for you to get more visibility to your site. HEIDI: One minute on a Google Search Product Research example (ie Comcast vs Verizon)HEIDI: The fact of the matter is that whenever a person needs to find something, their first instinct is to open up a search engine, type in a couple of keywords and check out the listings. If you are lucky enough to be one of the companies that shows up on the first few pages of the search results, they are going to check out your site. If you aren’t, it’s really hard build your business.
DAN: Everyone asks does it work?The results are IN and they are very encouraging.. Inbound Marketing works, works effectively and works quicklyFrom the Hubspot ROI studyUnconditional, table pounding, we accomplished our goal results
