Now, remember we added id’s or tags to our key menu items and calls-to-action. What you see here are the click-through activities of visitors prior to visiting our inbound services page. Not surprisingly, they clicked the main menu element Inbound Marketing. Surprisingly, they also clicked our Website Design button. We always assumed that these were 2 completely different services and would be segmented by need. Apparently not. People have more generalized interests, and we should better exploit that by cross-promoting these services. We’re working on some calls to action now, additional text and links for people to exploit this trend.
This is our most important page. It’s our inbound marketing services pricing page. If someone fills out and submits the form to the right, they instantly become a very high probability sales opportunity. Each conversion can amount to 10’s to even 100’s of thousands of dollars in new revenues for us. Eventually, we want to drive everybody to this page and have a very high conversion rate. This page traditionally gets a small amount of traffic and a low conversion rate – we aim to change that though advanced marketing analytics. This is our goal. Now we go about fine-tuning our sales funnel using a number of different strategies.

This page traditionally gets a small amount of traffic and a low conversion rate – we aim to change that though advanced marketing analytics. This is our goal. Now we go about fine-tuning our sales funnel using a number of different strategies.
First let’s analyze the page itself. We note the number of visitors over time and see that it’s already increased over 400% during the last 30 days that we’ve been doing advanced marketing analytics. We’ll come back to that a little later. Second, the star indicates that 58% are new visitors to this page and 42% are returning visitors. That’s probably not too surprising. But we’re glad that people are returning. If they never came back, we would be concerned. The most surprising data is the chart to the right. This indicates that 60% of our visitors during this month came to this page during their first visit, and over 100% viewed it within the 30 day period. Possible conclusion: Maybe our sales cycle isn’t as long as we think and we should engage with these people right away rather than letting them move on. Chris?
Now let’s look at how searchers find our most important page. The top two keywords are our name, which again isn’t too surprising. People have heard of us and are simply finding us via a branded search. This raises a question or two however. Are we optimizing our landing pages well enough for keyword search? We’d like this one to have lots of traffic for “inbound marketing services” or “hubspot services”, so we need to take a look at this – another to-do list item. The phrase “starting and inbound marketing company” probably indicates that other agencies are looking at our pricing page. This may not be such a bad thing since we often get referrals from other agencies that don’t have the same scope or bandwidth of services. It’s also interesting that people find our inbound services page via a search for “website design”. That tells us that visitors aren’t really sure what the difference is between website design and inbound marketing and are exploring. For more information. We need to better exploit that opportunity.

Now, a snapshot in time is one thing. It’s also important to look at the dynamic trends over time and the influencing factors. During the past 30 days we’ve seen some real peaks in interest in our services page. On the bottom you see the primary influencers for these peaks in activity. In particular, notice the correlation between the red curve and visits to our services page. The red curve is for our inbound marketing blueprint middle-of-the-funnel download. Our marketing takeaway is to promote this document more vigorously and to develop more MOFU content that explicitly refers readers to this page.
Last but not least, let’s take a look at things from our customers’ perspective via closed loop analytics. We have HubSpot tied into Salesforce.com and we’re looking at all of our customers that were initially web-based leads. We can gather that data in Salesforce and make some interesting observations. On the left is how many website visits did a customer make prior to sale. On the right is how many pages did they visit prior to sale. Amazingly, we find that over 50% of our customers had fewer than 4 visits prior to conversion and about 50% visited fewer than 10 pages. That goes completely against our assumption that our sales cycle is long and that people are spedning a lot of time doing due diligence prior to making a purchase decision. We’re thinking about what this means – but it could mean that we need to pay much more attention and be much more interactive at the top of the funnel rather than wait for people to filter down to the bottom.

Finally, what impact has all of this advance lead analytics had on our company in the space of only 30 days? On the left is our sales funnel for the past 3 months. On the right is our sales funnel for the past month. You can see that our visitor-to-lead conversion rate has increased .09% in thirty days, which is a pretty significant gain since we are just getting started. You can also see that we are converting more leads to sales opportunities to the tune of nearly 5%, and our sales closing rate is about the same. We had 2 customers in the 2 prior months and 8 customers this month. So we’re excited about the preliminary results and eager to improve on them.
