Why WordPress?
● 47% of sites running CMSes use WP.
That’s 23% of the web. (Social proof much?)
● 34,000+ plugins. 2,700+ themes. Flexibility!
● It’s (relatively) easy to install and use.
Plenty of documentation, huge community.
“Does it work with
WordPress?”Usually.
Enterprise marketing automation platforms like
Pardot and Marketo integrate with websites.
WordPress is software for managing websites.
Better question:
How well does it integrate
with WordPress?Easily: e.g. Pardot’s plugin, vs.
with some dev work, e.g. following Marketo
docs.
What if we don’t have the
budget / time / resources?
Enterprise-level platforms are an investment!
Let’s “fake it” in WordPress.
(We’re getting our feet wet.)
Marketing Automation Cycle1. Drive visitor traffic to
relevant landing pages.
2. Track activity. Collect
information. Identify leads.
3. Build lead profiles. Adapt
communications based on
gathered insights.
4. Pass qualified leads to
your sales team.
