Paid ads and inbound marketing together? Say it ain’t so Joe!
For years we’ve talked about how you should focus on drawing traffic to your site through relevant content. Build it and they will come. Provide relevant content that resonates with your target audience and they will love you for it. But what if you want to jumpstart your inbound lead generation efforts through paid ads? Promote it and they will come... faster.
In typical HubSpot fashion they have made it possible for you to do just that! Announced at Inbound 2015, Brian and Dharmesh have made it possible to create paid ad campaigns directly within your HubSpot portal though Ads Add-on. The beauty of it is that you tie them directly into your existing inbound marketing efforts.
With HubSpot, you already have insight into which of your posts are performing well on Linked In, for example. With the Ads Add-On tool, you can use that insight to leverage that info and create search and social ad campaigns right within HubSpot. One quick view of the Ads ROI Dashboard and you’ll know which clicks convert into leads and customers, for each ad.
Half of all professionals in the world are on LinkedIn. LinkedIn ads gives you access to the largest pool of professionals possible. By using LinkedIn’s Sponsored Updates (included in the Ads Add-On tool by the way), you can amplify your content making to reach more prospects through content campaigns. Easy, right?
Not easy enough? Using the Ads Add-on tool, you can select your target audience by region, company, job title, skill set - all within HubSpot. You'll be an ads master in no time at all!
