Every fintech digital marketing campaign is different, however, we always follow the steps below to get the most out of our partnerships:
Initial consultation
The starting point of any potential partnership is an initial discussion. This gives us and a prospective client the opportunity to acquaint ourselves with one another, and establish their goals for a campaign.
Regardless of whether it’s conducted via email, a phone or video call, or an in-person meeting, each consultation is complimentary and confidential.
We will then thoroughly examine their project brief, enabling us to gain deeper insights into the brand and its core values, with the goal of starting the campaign as quickly as possible.
Research & Analysis
Performing comprehensive research into each one of our clients’ businesses, target audiences and search landscapes is crucial to a successful finance marketing campaign.
From undertaking extensive website audits to pinpoint any problems that could be thwarting progress, to performing consumer research to learn how potential customers are searching for our client’s products or service online, we extract hard data to harness going forward.
All of this allows us to create the most effective, results-oriented campaign for our fintech clients.
Implementation & Refinement
By using data so extensively, we’re able to quickly and accurately gauge things like content performance and changes in searcher behaviour on our client’s website, enabling us to adapt the campaign if required.
However, even when we achieve goals like securing first page visibility for relevant search terms, that doesn’t mean the job is over. We’ll frequently monitor how users interact with that page to work out if there are any further opportunities to convert users.
Put simply, complacency isn’t something we accept at Go Up.
