what would it look like working together? Good question :) First, I have three traits that I require before taking on a client, the same three traits that they can expect from me. I don't care how big your budget is, if you lack any of these three I will not be working with you: honest reasonable kind Yay! We align personally... Next, I always start with an intake and audit before giving you a proposal or recommending a strategy. Why? because I do not offer one-size-fits-all services, instead I want to create a specific plan that will ensure you are getting what you need for results. The same way that you would not go to a doctors office and order a procedure off of a menu at the front desk, you should not be ordering services before we identify what you actually need done. Remember... prescription without diagnosis is malpractice. To diagnose where the opportunity is, I need to really get in and understand where you are currently at, analyze your brand, content, technical stack, authority signals, social signals and user experience. Then I will have the insight to know where the competitive deficiencies are. Because we are reasonable people, we do not expect anyone to work for free, so we would initially engage with a fixed fee web marketing audit learn more about rob's website audit. I used to charge $10,000 for this engagement, which was reasonable for the value, but because I have built software that automates marketing analysis I can now offer my detailed audit (quantitative and qualitative) and strategic plan for $3,500. This provides a detailed roadmap of where to go along with what it will take to get there. Note that you can also purchase the quantitative audit (my brain turned into software) and the qualitative audit (human powered) from one of my mentees (who I have personally trained) for half of the price, should that fit your budget easier. Let’s Get Started! So... what happens next?

time to learn about you Once we engage, I will send you an intake to fill out which has really straight forward questions about your company, your customers and your goals. Customer (Persona matrix, personas, problems/aspirations)

Offering (Product/Service/Cause)

Goals (What success looks like?)

Assets (Images, videos, etc.)

Key Messaging If you are a brand new company, or unsure about who your customer is, we can instead engage with a branding exercise which honestly would be better value for your money. Ready to Get Started? Then what happens?

find the opportunities This is where the magic happens, it is a methodical process that allows me to develop a strategy which will make the greatest impact, aligning recommendations with your goals. Customer Analysis I will get inside of the head of your customer to understand what drives them and how to earn their trust. Keyword Research I'll conduct thorough topical research resulting in target search queries & questions to rank for. Competitive Analysis Then I will then analyze who you will be competing against for these topics and audit them to find their weak points. Data Collection I'll pull thousands of data points from over 60 different sources for you and your competitors to analyze. Quantitative Analysis I will then use my software to identify opportunities based on industry benchmarks or historical comparisons. Qualitative Analysis Lastly, I will then use my experience to find opportunities machines cannot see to round out the recommendations. Sounds Good? Get Started! Exciting! What's next?!?

strategy & recommendations We then meet (virtually) and I present the strategy along with specific recommendations. Each recommendation is prioritized based on the associated goal and expected impact or return on investment. This includes a formal proposal on what I would charge to fix all of the items identified with an itemized list with prices. You can then determine how much you wish to handle in-house, what you would like to outsource, or what you would like me to do for you. Based on what you would like me to do, you can decide how fast I do it. Example, if the total quote back is $24,000 you can decide if you want that completed in 3 monthly installments (results faster) of $8k/month or over 24 monthly installments of $1k/month. Once the items identified are fixed and the opportunities identified are executed the initial engagement is completed and we can either enter into a monthly maintenance plan or identify new competitive goals for the next engagement period. This way no matter what your budget is, we can find a way to work together. You are also able to increase or decrease how much work we are doing at any time. Alright already, let's get started! Then what?
