Marketing Groundwork Services

Everything starts with the foundation, and the most powerful marketing strategies need to rest on a foundation of data. Fresh data allows you to target the right audiences across the right channels, using the terminology buyers and search engines can most easily understand. 

We’ll help you answer common questions about your future, such as:

  • Which social media platform offers the most potential for growth?
  • Should I be targeting small businesses or consumers directly?
  • How much is my target audience willing to spend on new products?

Why Groundwork Matters

Moving forward without studying where you currently are can result in wasting thousands of dollars on content that doesn’t engage, ads that repel readers with outdated terminology, and product or service names that confuse search engines.

All of this is completely avoidable with the right groundwork efforts to understand your buyers and niche. We have a proven process for gathering and interpreting this data for you. It involves a thorough look at not just your industry and your buyers, but your current process, team structures, toolsets, and more.

Groundwork allows us to follow up with performance-based strategies that can drive growth in more predictable and reliable ways.

FAQs About Groundwork

How long does it take to lay the groundwork for marketing strategies?

The time it takes to complete the groundwork will depend on several factors, with the availability of data being an important one. 

Some niches (Home renovation, for example) are supported by professional organizations that publish market research data for their members. In other niches, no one is publishing data, and you’ll have to do all of your research independently. 

Another factor is the length of your runway. You may have limited time to launch and need crucial insights now rather than after a more thorough research process. 

Our team can help you handle either path. Research is always a step that can be performed on an ongoing basis. We’ll always respect and build around your budget so that you get the best insights at the price that’s right for you. 

Can I customize my marketing groundwork plan?

All groundwork plans are completely customized for the clients ordering them. If we can fully research your company and processes, we will usually provide custom advice on issues that may be holding you back.

Some companies may need to overcome credibility hurdles before anything else. For example, bad web design or site design can undermine your marketing efforts. Others may significantly benefit from newer advertising forms such as podcasts.

What is tracked and studied in your market research?

We will recommend certain types of research for most niches, and then for some others, we may recommend more in-depth additions. 

In many cases, we also examine your competitors. Our research may cover the sales process used by other business owners in the niche, their ads, email marketing, or content marketing strategies.
