Lead-Generating Inbound Marketing Strategy

The initial step involved elevating ACE's web presence. We embarked on a comprehensive SEO optimization for the website, focusing particularly on product descriptions to attract high-intent prospects.

Simultaneously, our deployment of impactful SEA campaigns and consistent publication of SEO-targeted articles propelled us up the search engine rankings, positioning us competitively against our rivals.

A thorough audit and restructuring of the HubSpot platform refined and enhanced the management of incoming and existing data.

Key actions taken included:

  • Structuring the CRM and data properties
  • Establishing a blog and article templates
  • Monthly SEO article production
  • Development of lead magnets
  • Launching Google Ads campaigns
  • Guiding sales teams in mastering HubSpot Sales
  • Crafting ABM campaigns tailored for POP display segments

Throughout this endeavor, Mi4 provided extensive support to the sales teams in navigating the HubSpot tool effectively. We initiated ABM (Account-Based Marketing) sequences aimed at engaging high-value prospects through personalized campaigns, with the goal of converting them into clients.
