Choosing a Plan

Here are a few of the top sites SME Pal's content is regularly featured in.

All our marketing plans work on a month-to-month basis and the only difference is the scope of work we undertake.

  • Small: Analysis & insights based on what you already have. Essentially, we look at what you're doing and highlight areas to improve - with a strong focus on the best returns for the smallest cost/effort.
  • Medium: Expanded analysis and insights with some active marketing elements. Including media mentions (if applicable) and one original article that you can publish or we'll pitch on your behalf.
  • Enterprise: Intensive strategy and campaign development including one-on-one consult via Skype and at least one press release pitch monthly.

Choose the Small plan if you want expert advice and guidance that you implement. Choose the Medium plan if you want to retain control of the bulk of your digital marketing efforts but benefit from some professional marketing done on your behalf. Choose Enterprise if you would like a partner to lead your marketing efforts and produce and pitch strategic content on your behalf.

How to Drive (Free. Organic. Search.) Traffic to Your Website

There are a lot of gimmicky SEO & marketing strategies out there. Directory listings. Comment spam. PBNs. You name it.

Avoid them!

Drive valuable organic traffic to a business website or blog with one foundational principle that forms the basis of all other online marketing strategies - from SEO to email to social media.

Understand your niche market better than anyone else using a comprehensive SEO & PPC competitor analysis.

Know:

  1. Who your readers/customers are.
  2. Who your competitors are.
  3. What content they are producing.
  4. How well they are ranking.
  5. Why they are ranking.
  6. Who links to them.
  7. How they are getting backlinks.
  8. How you can get those backlinks.

This is inexpensive (a small fraction of the cost of hiring a marketing agency to do the same thing) and easy to do using only two tools - Google & SEMRush (see below). Here's how.

Getting Traffic to Your Blog/Site

  1. Identify a handful of keywords you want to rank for in Google (See "Keyword Research Quick Start" in Blog Marketing).
  2. Build a list of the sites that rank well for those terms (by searching those keywords in Google).
  3. Use SEMRush to analyze each competing site and discover why they are ranking (See "Advanced SEO" in SEO).
  4. This information helps you understand what type of backlink profile you'll need to compete for free organic traffic and who might also link to your content (i.e. if certain sites link to your competitors they might also link to your content).
  5. Create great content that targets the keywords you're after (see Blog Marketing).
  6. Build relationships with people who link to your competitors (see Influencer Marketing).

Rinse. Repeat (with a new set of keywords).
