Oracle partner gets 700K in deals and a 932% traffic boost

Productive Shop worked with the inside-marketing team to map out the behaviors and preferences of the audience and do an audit of all code, SEO, links and content. Professional services marketing is not simple, consisting of a mature audience seeking niche services. Our goal was to attract these professionals to the website, gain their trust via credibility and education and influence them to submit contact forms.

Industry competition and tight budget:

The cloud-based ERP market is crowded with large firms such as Oracle NetSuite, Sage, Dynamics and hundreds of consulting firms competing for online presence. Larger ERP, CRM and private equity firms have mass sales and marketing budgets, which most consulting companies struggle to keep up with.

Work with existing CMS

Trajectory has just finished building a WordPress-based site and did not want a rebuild project. The CMS modules were built poorly by an off-shore company, contributing to heavy load times. Trajectory opted in for an assessment, optimization of existing code, marketing content and a strategy for growth that actually works.

Low industry awareness

They’re so good at what they do, as they’ve worked for 14 years on referrals and word of mouth. The executive team realized they need faster growth, a strong brand presence and influential relationships to build a lead-generating engine.

Low employee advocacy

Employees were not involved in actively contributing to internal thought leadership and knowledge sharing. Management wanted to utilize in-house talent (CPAs, MBAs and ERP consultants) to contribute to thought leadership, grow portfolios and train on what’s new in the industry. This approach helped internal teams, clients and prospects keep learning enterprise resource management system best practices.

Stakeholder buy-in

Some internal partners did not understand inbound marketing concepts, yet alone the investment required to build an impactful, deep-rooted marketing strategy. Understandably, inbound seemed intimidating as so much content needs to be created as a base.

Solutions

Complete sales and marketing impact reporting

Dedicated dashboards per team were set up in order to track paid search, organic search, social and offline sales and marketing efforts. This insight helped leadership cut costs from inefficient lead channels and into revenue-generating ones.

Optimized SEO and paid advertising value

Clear reporting helped understand which forms, pages and keywords were driving the most local search and paid search users mapped to a specific page. This way, local pages and the forms on those pages were tuned to better perform in local search, leading to better lead acquisition.
