FREE Inbound Marketing Assessment

We start our process with a free 1 hour analysis of your current marketing and an assessment of how inbound marketing can help you reach your business goals. 

For companies who are looking to grow within a 12-month period, have a well-defined sales process, and work with a CRM; inbound marketing may be the perfect fit for growth and success.

The first step is clearly defining how inbound marketing can benefit your company. By scheduling your inbound marketing assessment, one of our certified inbound marketing consultants will analyze your current website, assess your goals, and provide real suggestions to improve your campaigns and achieve your goals.

An inbound marketing assessment is FREE and only takes 1 hour to complete.

Discovery

After it has been concluded that inbound marketing will accomplish your business goals, we’ll schedule a free goal setting session to better define your business’ timelines, requirements, resources, and budget. 

Once it has been determined that inbound marketing is a good fit for your company, a second call may be scheduled to identify your goals, establish timelines, define tasks, and provide an estimated marketing budget designed to help you achieve your goals. It is during this call that we start discussing how Anchor Communications can help you achieve your goals.

A goal setting session is FREE and takes about an hour to complete. 

Design of an Inbound Marketing Game Plan

Once your goals have been defined, it’s time to create a strategic plan of action. Anchor Communications will work with you to develop a 12-month inbound marketing strategy customized to help you achieve your unique business goals. 

All successful companies share a common trait; a well-defined plan of action. Your company will be no different. Just like you wouldn’t build a house without a blueprint and strong foundation, the same goes for your marketing.
