Integrated Marketing Methodology
Most companies still
optimize to yield the
largest number of visitors
or lead form submissions
per dollar spent.
Look both further down the
sales funnel AND across the
funnel to maximize your ROI
based on lead quality or
closed opportunities.

Deep Thoughts? What does your company really
want from your (online) marketing efforts?
• Sales?
• Top Line Revenue?
• Bottom Line Earnings?
• Margin?
• ROI?
• Brand (building, maintenance and/or defense)
Most Likely, NOT WEB FORMS

IMPRESSION VISITOR WEB FORM
• Just as different keywords require different ad copy (because different keywords denote different stages in the
“sale” from impression to website visitation
• So different types of keywords require different landing pages, as there is a whole new “close” that needs to take
place to get from visitation to web inquiry …. And from web inquiry to SQL

Some Integrated Tactics
1. Integrate Search (Paid & Natural) with “earned
media” or “owned media” for better results and /
or shelf space
2. Consider Event- and Name-driven SEM / PPC
3. Use SEM traffic with web analytics for list building
4. Integrate SEM data with other datasets,
especially CRM and your customer purchase
history list (e.g. down funnel optimization)
5. Argue about attribution

Paid + Earned is Better
Than Peanut Butter + Jelly
Integrate Paid Search with “earned media” or even with more “paid media” for
better results + shelf space
• Online favorable articles / analyst pieces
• Press release mentions
• Promote 3rd party blog post
Paid + Earned

House List / Direct Mail Tie-insIntegrate online marketing with more traditional focused direct marketing:
(think online mail-merge)
• Develop DB-driven microsite to dynamically generate offer
• Offer can be specific to person who types it in
• We’ve built this technology -- you can use ours or build your own
• Buy high priority names in Google so when they search their name, they get a specialized offer
• Google Paid Seach Ad will take them, upon click-thru, to the microsite, and preferably to the specific page on that website tailored for them
• Direct Mail campaign could also direct people to Google their name to enhance effectiveness of this campaign
• THIS IS GREAT FOR VERY FOCUSED MARKETS / MARKETING
