In Performance Marketing you would get immediate results, we can call it Short term results. Anything that is helping to convert now. Prioritising immediate wins.   

Brand Marketing is long term brand equity, and it requires patience however is the ultimate winner. 

Now here I have proposed both with a blend of performance and Brand marketing 

Organic Traffic, Activities to bring Organic traffic by bringing visitors from search engines and social media platforms. 

Branding and Visibility, All the Branding Ads are just for Brand awareness and target re-marketing for visited clients. 

Lead Generation, In this, we will optimize the Google Adwords and Social Media Sales Campaigns to increase sales.

Based on the goals and proposed activities, we have prepared a strategy that will help us achieve our goals in the defined time frame. 

The Project will be worked out in the next 4 Qtrs, all 4 Qtrs would have similar activities, however, we may change the strategy based on the results and other factors.

Here we have created a dedicated strategy with an approach to increase the organic visitors. 

In this we will work on SEO, Branding and Visibility and required Social Media Campaign. 

In the 1st Quarter, we would first set up the Project using Ahrefs and Ubersuggest Tools. Mentioned below is the Activity list. 

1. 1. Technical Optimization 
   2. Keyword Research
   3. On-Page Optimization 
   4. Content Optimization 
   5. Backlink Optimization 
   6. Backlink Acquisition  

We have a checklist (As enclosed in the image). We do a thorough check-up with SEMrush Tool, and a senior SEO executive also checks the same manually. 

We will list all the issues that need to be fixed by a developer, you can get it done for us, or we can hire a developer from our in-house team who has experience with the CMS you are using. 

The Timeline for this would be – 3 weeks. (Will Share Hourly Breakdown)

Once the Onpage is completed, the second step is to work with your Content team to create a content calendar for backlink acquisition and Guest Posting.

Once the Onpage is completed, the second step is to work with the Content team to create a content calendar for backlink acquisition and Guest Posting. 

Once All the on-page activities are as desired, we will start with the Backlink Acquisition. 

On the Backlink creation part, first, we would prepare a list of all the competitors’ backlinks and research niche-based sites where the backlinks can be acquired.  (This is a Monthly activity which we may change as per the real-time requirement).

A Detailed breakdown of effort hours timeline will be shared once you select the budget, which will give you the information on how much time would be invested.  

• • Increasing the number of backlinks is important, however, here quality of backlink is more important than the number of backlinks. 
  • Creating backlinks on same domain again and again to increase the backlink is not the right strategy so we would create backlinks on different domain everytime and increase the LRD(Linking root domain)
  • We only create backlinks on Similar niche.
  • Majority of the backlinks are Do Follow.
  • The spam score of the target backlinks will be less than 3%
  • The DA of the target Backlinks will be high
  • There will be a variety of backlinks including content based, profile based, image based, video based and others. 
  • No backlinks will be created just for the sake of backlink creation campaign.
  • No Backlinks from on-sale or link farming technique. 

Once the selection of the backlinks are done we have a strategy that we follow to ensure we get the most from the backlinks. 

Strategy: – 2 Tier Backlinks: here we would create backlinks in tiers, your URL would be as a base and we would create backlinks to it, these would be called “Tier 1” Backlinks. Following this, we would create backlinks to Tier 1 Links, called “Tier 2” so the link juice passes to Tier 1 and becomes stronger. The impact of this kind of backlinking is greater than that of normal backlinking. Moreover, with this strategy we ensure all the backlinks that we create gets cached in Google. 

Variety of categories in Backlinks: the majority of competitors seem to be majorly focused on content-based links, we would also focus on backlinks from Graphics, Business Listings, videos, and Blog Commenting. Apart from this, we would also ensure we have balanced inbound and outbound links on our website. Internal linking is another big factor that search engines take into consideration.

We will also create an outreach campaign for PR and Guest posting. This may require an additional budget, we will do the negotiation and implementation. All the outreach will be done as per the checklist shared above. 

This will be a monthly activity. The Goal is to Increase the DA and number of LRD (Linking Root Domain)

Social Media is a great place to showcase your brand. Instagram & Facebook would be best choice for you. I checked your social media account (Instagram) and see you are posting on the channels, and the frequency is good. Posting regularly with a plan is required. It should be a mix of content, like awareness, consideration, and promotive. Along with user-intent content that users would love to follow. Daily 1 content, I think, is something you should post. I can create a separate strategy doc for social media if required,; I think you are already doing it.

Create a branded hashtag: Develop a unique and catchy hashtag that is easy to remember and relevant to your brand, such as #brandname #brandnameMoments or #brandnameLifestyle. #lovefornichename. Every post you make and even encourage users to incorporate this hashtag in their posts about their experiences with your brand.

Encourage user reviews and testimonials: Prompt your customers to leave reviews and testimonials about their experiences with your product/service/brand. You can exchange a give away (can be a coupon or a free gift) Share these positive reviews on your social media channels and website to build trust and credibility with hashtags.

Run contests and giveaways: Organize regular contests and giveaways to incentivize users to create and share UGC. Offer appealing prizes related to your brand, such as your products gift boxes, exclusive merchandise like branded cups or glasses, or discount coupon.

Host social media challenges: Engage your audience with fun and interactive social media challenges that encourage creativity and expression. For instance, challenge users to create a unique product ussage ideas, share their favorite product ussage moments, or design a creative niche-themed artwork.

Utilize social media polls and questions: Spark conversations and gather insights by asking your audience questions related to your product or even just your niche. 

Repost and Feature user-generated content: Regularly showcase UGC on your social media platforms, website, and marketing materials. This shows your appreciation for your users’ contributions and encourages others to participate.

Reward and recognize UGC creators: Show your appreciation for top UGC creators by featuring their content, offering exclusive rewards, or even inviting them to collaborate on future campaigns.

Organize virtual events: Host interactive online events where participants can experience your products and engage with experts. So you can give away a few gofts to influencers and even invite your customers for a virtual or a physical events.

Post behind-the-scenes content: Offer glimpses into the your product journey, from creation, packaging to production processes or deliveries anything that is real, your employees or anything that you are doing BTS.

Partner with influencers: Collaborate with social media influencers who align with your brand’s values and target audience. Influencers can help promote your UGC campaigns and encourage their followers to create and share content using your branded hashtag. You should make a budget on how much you would spend on Influencers. Let’s take you to spend about 20 pieces every month. Approach 20 Influencers every month. Try to send them the gift box, just asking them to try it as it’s a new product or the most selling product you have, and you just want to give it away so they can try it and give you feedback on how it was. You will see a lot of people tend to make a video out of it, can be an unboxing video or tour video or a quick testimonial video.

Respond and engage with user-generated content: Actively engage with your audience by liking, commenting, and responding to their post. This demonstrates that you value their contributions and fosters a sense of community. You should also repost them on your story and share your appreciation.

Use all the Social media platforms: Post the UGS all over the social media channels you are on. Try to give the maximum coverage as possible.

Use it as creatives: Run Paid Ads using UGC content, this creative will be act as a creative cum testimonial and help you gain trust and high ROAS.

For Post that you are posting.

All the posts majorly should be divided into 3 parts.

1. Informative Content:
2. Engaging Content:
3. Visual Content:

In Informative content, you can post educational posts about your product. Educate your audience about the history, benefits, and varieties you offer. Highlight the unique qualities and benefits advantages your product. You can post guides and tips, can be providing step-by-step instructions on how to use your product perfectly. You can share creative ideas for using your products with other products or items. You can share proven research and expert insights on the positive effects of using your products if applicable. Or can be like how many people have used it and got the benefits in the last few years or time. You also should highlight the sustainability and ethical practices of your product. Showcase your commitment to sustainable sourcing, fair trade practices, and environmental responsibility.

In Engaging Content: All the Activities under UGC campaign should be an Engaging content. You should make a calendar using the shared ideas.

In Visual Content, Share high-quality images of your products and packaging, Post captivating videos. Create visually engaging videos, for example showcase the product or someone using it, and benefits of using it. Any short videos with trending music, will increase the engagement. Incorporate user-generated content. Share visually appealing UGC that your customers have created, showcasing their creativity and love for your product. You can make a quick video out of all the videos generated from your UGC campaign. Utilize eye-catching graphics and illustrations: Create visually appealing infographics, memes, and artwork that highlight the benefits and unique qualities of your product. Collaborate with artists and designers. Partner with creative individuals to produce unique artwork and designs that represent the essence of your product.

You should have a focus on increasing your followers also along with sales campaign. So shedding a small amount on branding campaigns will help a lot.

We propose to have a channel on all the leading social media handles in the name of the brand so that whenever future promotion would be required the channel’s name would be available. We also propose to have a strong presence on Insta Reels, Triller, Byte, Dubmash, and YouTube shorts. You can post the same videos on all the channels. 

I am sure you are already doing it. Still if you think you need a customised content calendar and a dedicated strategy or a dedicated resource to manage your social media organic campaigns, please let us know.
