Frequently asked questions

Why do SEO agencies add outbound to their own marketing?+

Because inbound alone is slow and unpredictable for their own funnel. Outbound gives an SEO agency a proactive channel to fill pipeline while their organic efforts mature, smoothing the feast or famine cycle.

What is the difference between account based outbound and broad lead generation?+

Broad lead generation casts wide to find fit. Account based outbound starts from a fixed list of high value accounts and works multiple contacts inside each one with tailored messaging.
