Are Lead Generation Firms Still Effective

With so many online tools available today, some business owners or managers may believe that generating online leads can be a do-it-yourself project.  However these easily accessible online tools are only part of the equation for lead generation.  

There is a good reason that lead generation firms are still a very useful partner to help grow your business.  The following are several areas where lead generation firms can help you to take advantage or avoid potential disasters:

• Avoid scams - there are some companies that present themselves as "quick wins" to get you the leads that you want.  Unfortunately many of these are simply fly-by-night scams that take your money and leave you with a list of worthless leads to sift through.  Legitimate lead generation firms will first take the time to understand what types of leads you seek and help you to get qualified leads.
• Proper analytics - a true partner in lead generation will help with your search engine optimization (SEO) research and analysis to determine which keywords and phrases would attract the best qualified leads.  Also your provider would analyze reports and statistics to evaluate how successful your SEO strategy is performing and what steps should be taken to tune it or take it to a new level.
• Latest trends - the best lead generation firms will evaluate new trends to determine if they can be effectively applied to your business.  For example, should you utilize e-books as part of your online marketing strategy, or should you put forth more effort in social media?  Can influencers be developed to further market your business?  Your lead generation partner can help you to determine what options are best for investing your marketing budget to get the best return.
• Campaign coordination - the best lead generation partner will look for ways to coordinate your online marketing campaign using multiple tools.  These options can include adjusting content on your company website, blogs, social media posts, contests, email newsletters and other alternatives.
