The Back Story

ASAP Payroll experienced steady, organic growth over its 30-year history without any dedicated marketing employees or formal marketing strategy. Finally, its appetite to grow required a strategy designed and implemented by a committed marketing partner. Suspicious of the effectiveness of PPC campaigns for their industry, they decided to hire The Gist to implement an inbound marketing strategy focused on SEO, blogging, content offers, email marketing and comprehensive sales enablement through the HubSpot CRM.

Our Solution

We always begin with the end in mind, so first we designed a comprehensive inbound marketing strategy. Then we optimized the website for target keywords and key phrases. In the second month we began publishing blog articles and gated content offers to increase traffic and convert visitors into leads. We implemented a lead nurturing strategy that included a monthly email newsletter to prospects and current clients to share educational resources and reinforce ASAP's value through all of its products and services.
