Additional Channels

SEO is a long term investment, and highly competitive in Data Zen’s industry.

While SEO takes time to mature, Data Zen can leverage other channels to generate more immediate leads, build brand awareness, and much more.

Doing so will also diversify your marketing channels, ensuring all your eggs aren’t in one basic.

It will also send brand signals to search engines, speeding up indexing and ranking for high-value keywords.

LinkedIn will help us build Data Zen’s brand awareness and generate leads with minimal financial investment. You can also start marketing on LinkedIn immediately, and may see results quickly, while other channels such as SEO and content marketing take time to mature.

LinkedIn also allows you to punch above your weight and stand out against bigger competitors by creating content with a more human feel and lots of personality.

Finally, you can connect with potential customers directly, and engage them in conversations that build trust, connections, and consistent leads.
