Position Green Earth Environmental to successfully generate leads using digital marketing and other inbound tactics.
The single most important factor to consider is the pictures! Prospects are comparing landscaping companies primarily based on the images and video clips they see on the website. Excellent photography combined with aerial video will make advertising more effective and more affordable, because a higher percentage of website visitors inquire.
We recommend designing a new mobile first website. It will run on desktops also, but be primarily designed for mobile devices. We also recommend segmenting the content to match the target audiences / ad campaigns (commercial vs. residential). The site should have dedicated landing pages for each campaign, along with information about the company and other services.
Marketing will focus primarily on Google search, the yellow pages of the internet. Landscape design and maintenance are services people tend to search for online if they don’t already know a company. Green Dot will utilize retargeting ads to ensure that every website visitor sees ads for Green Earth on other sites they visit. Sales people calling on property managers, shopping centers and home owner associations can also use the commercial landing page for their in-person pitch to show photos and videos.
Green Dot will track all campaigns, budgets and leads generated. We report monthly on results and make recommendations based on the data and trends.
This website is quoted as a custom site built on the WordPress platform and includes a content management system (CMS) to allow users to add or edit content, such as staff members, contact information or other content without html coding. The site will be designed for mobile devices and desktop computers and include mobile responsive code to ensure content is mobile friendly and renders consistently on tablets and smartphones.
Utilizing custom photography and video is highly recommended to generate an engaging and visually stimulating experience and help set the site apart from competitors.
We suggest shooting a mix of residential and commercial clients. It would be helpful to get shots with the crew on-site, as well as locations that were recently serviced. Green Dot would utilize a DJI Phantom 4 Pro 2.0, a Canon C100 Mark ii cinema camera, and a GoPro 7, as well as a Canon 5D Mark iii for still photos.
Google AdWords allows your website or landing pages to be listed prominently on Google when people search for relevant keywords. A Google AdWords certified marketer can help you write targeted ads that cost less than your competitors are paying by optimizing each part of your campaign.
Digital display ads are used to retarget all prospects who visited your website but did not complete the desired action. These display ads can be shown to visitors from all traffic sources. The retargeting ads run on a wide network of websites that support display advertising and “follow” your prospects from site to site as the browse the net, giving you a second and third opportunity to close the deal.
Green Dot ensures you know how your campaigns are performing at all times. Clients have direct access to the marketers working on their campaigns as well as to reporting platforms like Google Analytics (website performance), RavenTools (campaign performance) and Call Tracking Metrics (phone call lead tracking).
How much you spend on media every month is totally up to you. The more you spend, the greater your reach and frequency. Green Dot provides recommendations and guidance based on campaign performance and objectives, while allowing clients to adjust their budgets as needed.
Green Dot does not bill clients for media insertion, or require a minimum budget. Instead, we only invoice for media planning and campaign management. We manage and execute the media buys, create all ads, a/b test the ads, optimize your monthly spend (we may suggest increasing / decreasing the budget allocation depending on a channel’s performance) and report on the results.
All media expenditures are the responsibility of the client and are billed directly to the client by the media vendor or advertising platform. This approach creates pricing transparency and trust, while allowing media budgets to be adjusted as needed.
Green Dot includes these media management services at no additional charge with your marketing retainer up to the specified monthly threshold. Scaling the media buy beyond this baseline triggers a media management fee of 12% applied only to the net new spend above the included monthly threshold.
