Step 1: Research

Strategic Workshops: Before we dive in, we take our time getting to get to know you. We consult your sales team, marketers, and leadership to review current goals, strategies, tactics, marketing assets, and messaging strategies together. We view our clients as our partners, and these workshops allow us to build a foundation for true collaboration as we work toward shared goals.

Customer Research: Refined over 10 years, our advanced approach to buyer research generates a data-driven analysis of the buyer’s journey, their core decision-making impulses, and targeted audience segmentation.

Gap Evaluation: 434’s data scientists analyze current digital acquisition channels to identify market gaps and refine a tactical content system that will attract qualified leads to your brand.

Competition Analysis: Our researchers evaluate top competitors to determine digital strengths, weaknesses, and overall positioning. These insights enable 434 to fully appreciate your position in the market, key differentiators, and opportunities to outperform competing businesses.

Step 2: Custom Web Development

User Experience (UX) Research: 434’s experienced UX team systematically examines traffic flow and on-site buyer behaviors, developing digital frameworks that increase time on site and prompt lead conversion.

Custom Web Design and Development: Our design and development team will customize an on-brand, engaging, mobile-ready website that integrates UX strategy, refreshed content, calls-to-action, and conversion portals to improve lead conversion rates and time-on-site.

Ongoing Web Support: We offer ongoing web maintenance and optimization services, including SEO, WordPress updates, hosting, cosmetic upgrades, custom features, and more.

Step 3: Content Marketing

Content Foundation: Using insights from our gap evaluation, buyer research, and market research, our writing team will develop a portfolio of content that will drive inbound traffic to your website and generate leads. Content types vary based on research insights – from web articles to white papers and case studies to support growth.

Flex Content Packages: Many 434 clients add content bundles to accelerate content output and target specific gaps in the content funnel. Assets are delivered monthly and packages vary in size and complexity, based on the client’s needs and budget.

Quarterly Analysis: Our experienced marketing and sales consulting team will analyze your digital marketing strategy’s performance, providing quarterly reports that identify strengths and opportunities for continual improvement.
