What does success look like for your business? Are you looking to increase brand awareness? Drive more traffic to your website? Generate more leads? Improve customer retention rates? Once you know what success looks like, you can develop campaigns that are designed to achieve those specific objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not sure yet?

The most effective mix of channels will vary depending on your target customer! Search Engine Optimization (aka SEO) combined with Pay Per Click (aka PPC) advertising are the most common and effective digital marketing channels for SaaS businesses. Here&#8217;s a quick overview of each:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Search Engine Optimization:<\/strong>&nbsp;SEO is the process of optimizing your website to rank higher in search engine results pages (SERPs). Using keyword research to identify the right keywords for your business, my team then optimizes your website content, meta tags and even technical set up to rank higher in the SERPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pay Per Click (PPC) Advertising:<\/strong>&nbsp;PPC is a form of paid advertising that allows you to place ads on search engine results pages (SERPs) and social media sites like Facebook and LinkedIn. These campaigns allow you to target specific audiences with laser precision and generate leads quickly &#8211; but at a higher ongoing cost than SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both SEO and PPC can be effective digital marketing channels for SaaS businesses, but the most effective mix of channels will vary depending on your target customer. If you&#8217;re not sure which channels are right for your business, our team of digital marketing experts can help. We&#8217;ve helped countless SaaS businesses develop and execute effective digital marketing strategies that drive results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SAAS DIGITAL MARKETING STRATEGIES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve determined which channels you&#8217;ll use to reach your target customers, it&#8217;s time to start thinking about tactics. Here are a few common strategies that I&#8217;ve used to help SaaS businesses grow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Content Marketing:<\/strong>&nbsp;Content marketing is a form of inbound marketing that uses educational content to attract, engage and convert prospects into leads and customers. By creating helpful resources like blog posts, webinars and more, you can build trust with your target audience and teach them how your software can help solve their specific problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pay Per Click:<\/strong>&nbsp;As I mentioned earlier, PPC is a form of paid advertising that allows you to place ads on search engine results pages (SERPs) and social media sites. These campaigns can be very effective in generating leads quickly, they do require ongoing investment to maintain results &#8211; but there is no quicker way to get your software in front of new customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Social Media Marketing:<\/strong>&nbsp;Social media marketing involves creating and sharing content on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. This can be used to build relationships with potential customers, generate leads and even close sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Email Marketing: Email marketing is a great way to nurture leads, keep customers engaged and even feed leads to your sales team. By sending helpful, educational emails on a regular basis, you can keep your SaaS business top of mind and build trust with your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MARKETING TO YOUR POTENTIAL CUSTOMER BASE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reaching new customers is essential for any business &#8211; but it&#8217;s especially important for SaaS businesses. Why? Because unlike traditional software, which is sold once and then installed on a customer&#8217;s computer, SaaS products are subscription-based. This means that in order to keep growing, you need to continuously bring in new customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My team of SaaS marketing consultants can help you develop and execute an effective marketing strategy that will help you reach your target customers. We&#8217;ll work with you to understand your business, your goals and your target audience. From there, we&#8217;ll create a custom marketing plan that includes the right mix of digital marketing tactics to help you reach your goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting leads as a Software as a Service company can be tough &#8211; but digital marketing can help b2b and b2c SaaS products growth their MRR and customer pool!
