What can a inbound marketing professional in Saudi Arabia do for you?

Handling a well set up inbound marketing campaign can be a lot of fun. It can also be very frustrating.

In this post I will try to inspire you to come up with new and fresh approaches to keep the fun going.

Making a good inbound marketing campaign is not always easy when you need to come up with ways to market your company. When done correctly, a well managed inbound marketing campaign captures the reader’s attention. You need to keep the audiences immersed in the story, and they will continue to read if done right.

The project you are thinking of setting out to a inbound marketing professional can be time consuming and difficult to learn, but it can be well worth the time and resources used

Putting the work out to a inbound marketing professional can certainly pay off, but it is still important that there are available resources that can handle this in a proper way on the part of the organization. If you already have limited resources, the project will almost guaranteed not get enough attention and dedication from company staff without adequate resources dedicated to handling the project. The inbound marketing professional knows that these things require a lot of attention and dedication and are knowledge-intensive, so they have dedicated the resources necessary to handle the project in a responsible manner. It has always been clear to me that it is you who know your service and your market best, so if you have the resources needed, it is definitely the best thing to do it yourself. This is something that must be carefully considered before making a decision on how to proceed with inbound marketing.

Use of own employees in Saudi Arabia to manage projects outsourced to the inbound marketing professional

Often, people in the Saudi Arabia-department can have broader knowledge of what is going on locally than what you might expect from a inbound marketing professional far away or what the people at the headquarters of your company have detailed knowledge about. However, this does not necessarily mean that it is good use of resources to engage internal human resources locally in relation to the inbound marketing professional. Below I will highlight some of the things that need to be discussed.

Is there any difference when using a inbound marketing professional in Saudi Arabia compared to having the staff working on this inhouse?

Should you employ experts from a inbound marketing professional in Saudi Arabia or is it better to use staff in the organization to take care of inbound marketing in the company?The questions you need to ask yourself needs to be addressed in a thoughtful way. Here, I will try to discuss some of the things you should be aware of before deciding whether a inbound marketing professional can be useful or whether it is better using internal staff in the firm at the local branch office in Saudi Arabia.

Good inbound marketing tools

There are some things you need to be aware of when using a inbound marketing professional – whether this is handled by your department in Saudi Arabia, or centrally at the corporate headquarter. Below is a handy checklist of things you need to think about, as well as the best tools you can use for either free or commercial tools where free alternatives are not available or significantly inferior to the commercial ones.

Google Alerts

To be on top of things, it is important to know what happens as early as possible. Google Alerts sends you an email every time someone mentions the words and phrases you specify. This can be anything from trademarks that are important to you, people of interest or general words and phrases that are important to your business. You can have alerts for all employees, freelancers you use, your trademarks including websites you run and words and phrases you focus on. All of this gives you a good overview of what is being talked about that matters internally. Google’s notification is free to use and helps you to be early in terms of being on top of what your competitors in Saudi Arabia are doing, potential public relations disasters in the form of negative reviews and much else useful.

Majestic.com

Majestic SEO is the world’s largest link index. Use this tool to find out everything of interest about links to your own pages and what your competitors locally in Saudi Arabia are doing, or what national and international competitors are up to. Links to your website and subpages are crucial to your search engine rankings, so this is important to keep tabs on.

Ranks.nl

Ranks.nl has a number of professional SEO tools that I can really recommend. One of the tools I use most is Page Analyzer. With this tool, you can check keyword density on each subpage of your domain to optimize for keywords or phrases. If the inbound marketing professional you are planning to use is at all professional, they probably use the tools available from ranks.nl – or similar tools extensively.
