Putting an inbound marketing strategy into place can be a big project. Bringing together the factors of a content-driven website, great content, outstanding SEO, social media and making them fit can be a time consuming, but rewarding job. Who is developing your strategy? Whether you have an inbound marketing team or an outsourced inbound marketing agency, there are some vital elements that need to be covered.

So what’s involved in the strategy?

• We plan for a 12-month outlook. That means we have long-term goals for the use of social media, content creation, online PR, online search and branding on the web.

• Activity charts and metering within inbound marketing applications are key appliances that allow you to monitor campaign success and make adjustments where they are necessary. This ensures that vital resources aren’t wasted.

• Have you got a keyword analysis tool? Platforms such as Hubspot or Google Webmaster tools are vital to identify and prioritize your search terms like keywords and phrases. This is essential for great SEO.

• Set out a plan on a calendar, we suggest in monthly and quarterly intervals. Prioritize budgets, write in timelines, and write in campaign themes so that content can be created accordingly. Mark in potential dates for white paper releases, webinars etc.

• Start searching and creating a business and media blogger database, so kick-start your online media relations. Reaching out to bloggers and even looking for guest bloggers is a great way to generate traffic.

• Social media plans are essential. Create a database of all essential bases to touch, like popular forums, newsgroups, social networks and blogs for your target market or industry.
