Here’s a few of the topics we cover:

1. Market Data Analysis

Data analysis is the fundamental starting point for obtaining results from marketing.  We teach your team where to look for data and how to translate it into action items. For example, many times companies use their own internal terminology to refer to their products and services, thereby missing the majority of their business opportunities looking for that service under a different name.

2. Content Generation

Ranking high in Google search results, and getting the most out of ad campaigns requires knowing what content to write, how to structure it, and what keywords to use. To illustrate this, the reason you ended up on this page is a result of our own careful keyword selection, and proper representation of our capabilities.  

3. Authority Building

Authority is a term we use in the marketing industry to refer to how competitive your website will be in relation to other organizations with the same goals. Google’s intention is that authority be built over time organically, however, many of our clients have very established websites and services but have not intentionally built authority. It’s like being really good at something but not effectively communicating how good you are, thereby giving your power to someone else.  

4. Tracking

Tracking refers to attributing marketing efforts to specific results. There are hundreds of metrics you can track like engagement, traffic, bounce rate, demographics, sales numbers and more. We care most about tracking the items that will allow us to do more of what is working and do less of what isn’t. An example would be to track the results of an ad campaign so that when someone clicks on your ad, we can know that they made it to your website, filled out an RFQ form, and ended up engaging your company.

5. Planning for the Future

When signing up for a new service, many times we get excited about the possibilities, but then over time, the excitement fades and everyone forgets what we were supposed to be accomplishing. When we engage a client in these marketing and SEO consulting services, we want to start by teaching and creating experts, then we want to continue the engagement to give feedback, and to improve performance over time. We do this by scheduling periodic reviews and being as involved as necessary to make sure that the culture and learning sticks.

Our Marketing Consulting Approach

What are the next steps to creating a more effective internal marketing team?

Our inbound marketing consulting services work best for medium to large B2B companies that have one or more employees dedicated to marketing your business. Your company would ideally have the ability to sell services or products to a large geographic market. Some examples of our clients include:  

  • A large die casting manufacturer which through our efforts went from a situation where they had large customers but no real new opportunities, to becoming a nationally recognized supplier, and receiving frequent and valuable leads from their website. These leads we generated have turned into millions of dollars in revenue.  
  • An ecommerce website selling woven textiles went from a brand new business to a nationally ranked provider, generating hundreds of thousand of dollars in sales through their website.
  • A manufacturing support company that went from providing services to a few local business to providing those services to companies through the U.S.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is SEO Training the area of focus?

Through marketing hundreds of businesses, we’ve found that generally ranking high in Google search results for the terms that your customer is looking for is one of the most impactful and valuable places you can be. A quick comparison with Google ads for example – which is also valuable for lead generation – is that with Google ads, you pay for clicks and bid on keywords. While these ads often come before “organic” or natural search results, we see the ROI on ranking naturally to be much higher, and there’s also the residual component. By residual, we mean that if you quit paying for ad clicks, you no longer get results. Organic ranking is sticky, in that when you rank organically, you stay there for a long time, which means that the work you’ve done in the past continues to generate results in the future.

What if we don’t have an internal marketing team?

Wheeler Consulting Co is affiliated with a larger agency which provides marketing and SEO services to organizations around the country. If you are more interested in having these services performed for you than training an internal team, just specify that in the contact form.  

What is the engagement structure?

We can calibrate our consulting engagement to the size of your business. Typically a medium sized business will expect to require 40 hours of intensive training in the beginning which eventually tails off into less and less time as they become experts in the techniques. It’s important to emphasize that even 40 hours of training will have incredible long-term impact on the growth of your organization. When your team learns and applies these techniques, we guarantee you will see it translate to profits. We will insure this guarantee by monitoring progress and refining your efforts.

What other areas does your consulting cover?

We’ve grown businesses and started businesses and we can provide consulting in most areas or find you the resources you need to succeed. Some of these areas include IT, branding, web development, app development, business strategy and positioning, among others.
