Prospective clients often ask me what’s the single most effective tactic a startup or small business can do to jumpstart their inbound marketing efforts—to increase traffic to their websites.

In marketing, a misconception exists that all marketers are essentially divided into one of two camps—the “data” team or the “creative” team. One team believes great marketing is “science” and the other team believes great marketing is an “art.” A veritable cold war exists between these two mythological factions. In fact, many content marketers are openly hostile to analytics, as if they fear that being analytical will somehow reduce or destroy their ability to do bleeding-edge creative work.

Although inbound marketing alone can optimize your search rankings and promote your brand presence, integrating paid advertising into your strategy can quickly help you maximize your success. By utilizing paid advertising campaigns alongside your inbound marketing techniques, you can successfully place your content in front of your target audience for improved visibility and engagement. Your target audience will have more opportunities to explore your website, blogs and other content types with the paid ads acting as key reminders.
