How to Get More Out of Your Marketing and Tech Stack: Have a Plan

Unlocking the full potential of your marketing and tech stack begins with one foundational step: having a plan.

At The Kingdom, we believe a well-crafted plan can supercharge your sales, marketing, SEO, social media efforts, ads, websites, and customer journey.

The Importance of Planning

A plan is more than just an outline; it's your roadmap to success. Setting clear objectives and strategies creates a unified vision that everyone on your team can understand and execute. This is where HubSpot becomes an invaluable tool. With HubSpot CMS, you can easily integrate all your planning and execution tools into one platform, making it easy for your team to keep track.

Why Sticking to a Plan Matters

Consistency is key. Sticking to your plan helps you achieve your short-term goals and contributes to long-term success. A structured approach ensures you keep sight of your objectives. With tools like HubSpot, you can measure the success of your plans and tweak them as necessary.

Setting SMART Goals

Setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely) goals provides the framework for any strategy.

Specific: Your goals should be clear and well-defined.
Measurable: There should be criteria for measuring progress.
Attainable: Goals should be realistic and achievable.
Realistic: Ensure the goals are relevant to your overarching business strategy.
Timely: Each goal should have a timeline for completion.

By establishing SMART goals, you make it easier to track and measure your success.

Short-Term Planning for Maximum Impact

Rather than planning for a year, break your strategy into shorter, more manageable 2-3 month bursts. This allows for concentrated effort and regular evaluations. After each period, pause and review your progress.

Utilizing HubSpot’s Analytical Tools

One key advantage of utilizing HubSpot is its powerful analytical tools, such as Clearbit and intuitive dashboard features that enable you to track your plans efficiently. How does this work?

Simple—whether you're planning paid advertising or social media, you can create a dashboard that visually reflects your strategy and monitor its progress. This is invaluable when sticking to a plan because it provides real-time insights into what’s working and what’s not.

Specific Strategies: SEO, Content, Social, and Paid Ads

Having separate yet interconnected plans for SEO, content, social media, and paid ads helps distribute your focus evenly across various channels:

SEO and Content Strategy: These two should go hand in hand. Good content should be SEO-rich and have a purpose, and keywords should be naturally integrated into your content to improve search engine rankings and reach a broader audience. Our SEO strategy consultations offer insight into integrating SEO within your content.
Social Strategy: Social media engagement requires consistent posting, timely interactions, and analytics to measure performance. The Kingdom uses tools like HubSpot to streamline social media management.
