61% of marketers say generating
traffic and leads is their greatest challenge
SEO, social media, and email marketing are effective ways to establish an online presence and improve engagement with your existing customers. But, if your primary goal is to grow your customer base, you need to have a specific lead generation strategy in place to achieve your desired results.
Blue Interactive Agency’s dedicated marketers have more than 15 years’ experience at creating high-quality lead generation strategies for every type of company in any industry.
Lead Generation Services Vs Only Pay Per Lead
Lead generation is the process of identifying individuals who are interested in your product or services. Generating a high volume of leads isn’t enough to ensure your success; however, to enjoy the highest level of success, you need to generate high-quality leads that convert to actual sales.
If you are on a limited budget or just looking for qualified leads that you can use right now, you may think that you only need pay per lead. With pay per lead, you only pay us for each qualified lead. You don’t have to invest in advertising and wait for leads to develop. We get you qualified leads, with customers who have expressed an interest in purchasing the products or services you offer.
The problem with choosing only pay per lead is that it doesn’t deliver the same sales growth that lead generation services provide. You are not generating original leads through your own efforts, so there are no long-lasting benefits for your business. You pay for the leads you receive, and next month, you have to pay for leads again. Our Lead Generation services are different. The content strategies we develop can continue generating new leads for years.
Pay per lead services may produce a large quantity of leads, but only 18% of marketers still believe these outdated practices are the best way to produce high quality leads that convert.
60% of marketers found inbound lead gen techniques such as SEO, social, and content marketing produce the highest quality leads.
Today’s buyers are self-educated. They rely on information they find on their own or get from trusted sources. Inbound marketing strategies generate high quality leads because they earn an audience’s attention instead of trying to buy it.

Attract new leads through SEO
Organic website traffic accounts for the highest percentage (23.4%) of high quality leads.
Your company website serves as the foundation of your Lead Gen strategies, so we make sure every element is optimized to drive interested traffic to your website. Once visitors can see everything you offer, it’s much easier to coax them over the conversion point to become an actual customer. We use the latest SEO strategies to improve your website’s lead generating performance:
- Highly relevant keywords – We use in-depth research to reveal the best keywords to reach your target audience
- Local SEO – We’ll optimize your website for local and “near me” searches, using local and location-based keywords, Google My Business, and local directories so you can be found
- Voice search – We incorporate longer, natural-sounding phrases and keywords used with verbal searches to reach searchers using smartphones and smart speakers
- Lead generation forms – We use short, easy to fill forms that encourage visitors to leave their contact info
- Visitor analysis – We’ll comb through website analytics to gain a clear picture of what interests your visitors, what they like best and least, and use these insights to inform your campaigns
Establish your thought leadership using targeted content
96% of business-to-business customers want content from industry thought leaders to inform their buying decisions.
We establish your thought leadership by creating a large body of informative content that provides a high value for your target customers.
We begin with keyword research and buyer personas to identify the topics that interest your ideal customers. We position you as a trusted advisor, by creating and publishing blogs that provide the best answers to your audience’s questions. This demonstration of thought leadership helps to drive traffic to your website, where prospects can gain a deeper understanding of what you have to offer.
By consistently publishing informative blogs, we build a pool of pre-qualified, high-value visitors who are interested in your products and services. We can accompany the blogs with white papers, e-books, videos, slide-shares, and other gated content accessible through lead generating forms, to complete the cycle of turning visitors into leads.
Generate and nurture leads through social marketing
48% of businesses say most of their leads require “long cycle” nurturing with many influencers.
At Blue Interactive, we understand the difference between building engagement and generating leads. Our social marketing strategies do more than simply interact with prospects; each tightly targeted campaign is designed to nurture your followers into high quality leads.
When potential customers are introduced to your company through the social media feeds of their friends and families, you gain the benefit of a built-in level of trust for your company. We leverage that trust by providing opportunities to connect these pre-qualified individuals with your company and turn them into leads.
We investigate your industry to discover where your prospects are socializing online. Once we know the best social platforms to reach your target market, we develop a detailed social strategy to create and nurture leads through every stage of your buying cycle.
We start by establishing a strong Facebook presence, then move on to the social platforms that best serve your specific industry. If you offer professional services, we’ll use industry-specific forums on LinkedIn to generate leads from decision-makers in your field. For hotels and retail businesses, we can create Instagram Stories with stunning images that invite individuals to explore the wonders you have to offer. We’ll create an interesting and relatable social presence on every platform your target audience loves, with posts that link to your blogs, videos, and landing pages to convert them into leads.
Build qualified leads in a hurry with PPC ads

At Blue Interactive, we understand the difference between building engagement and generating leads. Our social marketing strategies do more than simply interact with prospects; each tightly targeted campaign is designed to nurture your followers into high quality leads.
PPC ads deliver prequalified leads by placing your business directly in front of individuals at the exact moment they are looking for the product or service you offer. These highly effective ads are great for every budget, because instead of paying a standard fee for each ad, you only pay for each click.
Depending on your business type, you can choose search engine PPC ads such as Google AdWords, Bing Ads, and Yahoo Ads, or social PPC ads on Facebook, Twitter, and other social platforms. Blue Interactive can provide you with PPC campaigns that generate the leads you seek in a hurry, while delivering a great ROAS (return on ad spend).
Nurture leads through personalized email newsletters
I54% of B2B marketers identify email marketing as the most effective online tactic for generating leads.
If you are a new business or your subscriber list is thin, we’ll build an email subscriber list using gated content and lead generation forms on your website. Once we have a list of interested subscribers, we’ll segment your list and create engaging newsletters with personalized offers designed to appeal to each segment. We can connect each email to dedicated landing pages with strong calls-to-action to generate the best response..
Improve Lead Gen performance with dedicated landing pages
Are your email, PPC, and other lead gen strategies falling flat?
One of the biggest marketing mistakes that companies make is connecting their emails, PPC ads, and other lead generation strategies to their home page. We create dedicated landing pages that are specific to each campaign, featuring concise information and a clear call to action. Each landing page is optimized for mobile, with navigation and sharing buttons that are easy to click with thumbs.
We closely match the copy and link title of each landing page to the connected campaign to increase conversions. This delivers an added bonus with AdWords campaigns, as Google gives you a higher Quality Score, and lowers the cost of your PPC keywords. Finally, we use A/B testing to fine-tune the landing pages to generate the best response and highest ROI for each campaign..
