What can a inbound marketing professional in Zambia do for you?

Creating a inbound marketing campaigns can be a rewarding experience, but it can also create frustration.

In this post I will try to give you inspiration with new and fresh approaches to have fun while working on it.

Making a good inbound marketing campaign can sometimes be hard when you need to come up with ways to market your company. A well managed inbound marketing campaign captures the reader’s attention. You need to keep the target markets immersed in the story, and they will continue to read if done right.

Is there any difference when using a inbound marketing professional in Zambia compared to working with this inhouse?

Should you hire professionals from a inbound marketing professional in Zambia or can one just as well use internal resources at the house to handle inbound marketing in the organization?The questions you need to ask yourself has a number of aspects that you should think about. In this article I will 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 at the house at the local branch office in Zambia.

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 spent 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 company. If you already have limited resources, it is unlikely that this type of task will receive sufficient focus and attention from in-house staff without adequate resources to handling the inbound marketing. The inbound marketing professional knows that these things are time-consuming and are knowledge-intensive, so they have put the resources needed to handle the project in a proper and professional way. I have always been of the opinion 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 your own employees in Zambia to manage projects outsourced to the inbound marketing professional

Often, people in the Zambia-office 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 firm know about. Although, 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 considered.

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 local staff in Zambia, or centrally at the 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.

Ranks.nl

Ranks.nl has many 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.

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 Zambia 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.

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 Zambia are doing, potential public relations disasters in the form of negative reviews and much else useful.
