You’ll want to go and create the media plans for different channels based on the budgets that you’ve agreed. When you assimilate these together they may change slightly, but you would expect them to remain the same if you budget it correctly.
You’ll then assign resources to each aspect of the plan. Do this first by thinking of who the best people would be to help you get to the goals you’re looking to achieve. Rather than starting with a budget and fitting it in that way, if you start with the best possible team you can trim things accordingly at a later date if you need to.
From there, you’ll attach a proposed budget for each activity which, if you’ve done things correctly with your media plan, you’ve looked at the resources that you’ll need from a personnel and technology standpoint. This should flow naturally and the output of all of this should be one overarching search marketing plan which, as we know, may fluctuate over time but this is something everyone can buy into for the next 12 months.
Before we start looking at each individual channel in isolation, we should think about what our overarching strategy is going to be for this search marketing plan. This is a pivotal part of ensuring that all search marketing channels work in tandem to achieve optimal results. You’ll want to do this for all five search marketing channels. It’s search engine optimization, content marketing, paid search, display, and video advertising. Once you have those objectives, you can turn those into a brief, and a brief into a strategy by starting with a brief and identifying the clear platforms that are going to drive you towards a successful outcome.
