Digital Marketing Discovery Process

Technical Site Analysis

Blueprint will evaluate the site’s front end and back end efficiency for search. Front end points of analysis include navigation, XML sitemap, robots.txt file, structured data, & more.

In the back end analysis, we determine the efficiency of future optimization such as landing page fulfillment, content creation & implementation, and on page optimization. All technical gaps will be outlined in a detailed Plan of Action to be addressed over the course of our partnership.

Keyphrase Strategy

The Keyphrase Strategy is foundational to any successful digital marketing strategy. Blueprint will research the words & phrases consumers are using when searching for your products and services. These keyphrases are then strategically categorized into priorities and initiatives to create a clear focus.

With this structure, we can create a clear Plan of Action that targets specific keyphrases that are attainable and will increase authority, rankings, and traffic. The Keyphrase Strategy is most effective when completed in conjunction with a Search Insights Report.

Development

With a completed Keyphrase Strategy, Blueprint can now begin the Search Insights Report to clearly understand the motive behind your customers’ search queries. The report aligns with Google’s categorization of consumer motivations: Do, Know, & Go. Each set of keyphrases are properly categorized so that we can create content that aligns with consumer expectations. This content strategy is added as a core feature in the Plan of Action.

Conversion Analysis

To truly measure campaign success, the site must be able to track and measure those user actions that would be considered goals, or conversions, that are key to the company. Depending on the brand’s overall goals and industry, Blueprint will recommend a series of conversion tracking implementation to not only measure success, but also gain deeper understanding into the path of conversion for the brand’s audience.

Competitive Analysis

Blueprint will assess multiple competitors of the brand, both in competitors given by the brand, as well as those we find as digital competitors. From there, we will gain insight into the digital strengths and weaknesses of these competitors concerning technical integrity, content development and engagement, and conversion optimization. These points will help to guide the Plan of Action.

Paid Search Analysis

The Paid Search Analysis will be primarily focused on the return that you can expect from your monthly investment. We will perform an audit of your existing paid account to examine overall health, identify areas of optimization, as well as determine the current areas of growth available in the account. In addition, our keyphrase research will allow us to identify the primary keyphrase categories that will be targeted at Blueprint to maximize your account for success. This keyphrase data will allow us to estimate the number of impressions, clicks, leads, and conversions that you should expect, and what your overall return on investment should be each month. By understanding your goals and expectations, we will be able to suggest a specific monthly budget that your company should spend on paid search marketing, and what your expectations should be for that amount of spend.

Social Media Analysis

Understanding positioning to your consumers and competition is important when considering social media as a marketing channel. Our SWOT report identifies the strengths and weaknesses of not only your current social media strategy but also that of two of your competitors. We then identify your immediate opportunities to win online and run split test ad campaigns to prove those ideas out. At the same time, we lay the groundwork for how your competition and content strategy can be threatened via limited or no action or an an apathy towards the social channel.
