    This podcast is about B2B SEO. In the first part, we will go through the process of how to build a Global B2B SEO program. As a case study, we will use Signify (previously known as Philips Lighting).

    In the second part of the webinar, we will review your B2B SEO programs and give you live feedback on your projects.

    Romeo, Founder and CRO at MAN Digital, will host Lukasz in a discussion about SEO, Content Marketing and Account Based Programs, and how they fit together to generate more revenue for your business.

    His biggest professional passion is helping teams build scalable data-driven processes for a wide range of digital marketing areas to turn them into successful initiatives.

    According to Forrester, 92% of B2B purchases start with an online search. Despite all of that, not many B2B companies and marketeers are giving enough attention to SEO.

    We will deep dive into:

    • Key elements of our approach, how Signify has built a B2B SEO program from scratch.
    • SEO strategy building blocks, which helped us to stop the global declining trend for natural search visits and achieve an ambitious +15% increase for 2020 vs the -9% drop observed the previous year.

        What will be covered
        • How to develop a better understanding. Consumer preferences are always changing. In this webinar, learn how your current B2B approach is making it more difficult for consumers to buy from you. Develop the skill to find opportunities right in front of you and how to create a better path to purchase no matter what you sell.
        • How to create a positive buyer's experience. You're ready to make it easier for your customer to buy from you.  You're convinced there's a better way. But how can you start, what's the process you need to follow? How do you make it easier to engage and qualify a website visitor at scale? In this webinar we'll give you a primer into conversational strategies that have allowed brands to double & triple conversions without hiring or advertising.
        • How to create the Conversational Marketing Blueprint. Plain and simple, you need a plan. By breaking down the who (audience), where (website page) & source (buyer journey) you'll be able to easily create conversations that are relevant to each visitors.
        • Choose your go-to-market. Now that we're engaging with 2 - 3x more site visitors, we'll need to point them to a bot or a human (preferably an account executive). You'll notice a shorter sales cycle and faster lead to a response by focusing on the customers that have the highest intent to purchase.
        • How to create a delightful experience. Cost of acquiring a new customer is climbing and conversion rates are declining. Why? We hate being marketed and sold to. B2B marketers are still using the same tactics that worked 5 - 10 years ago. Consumers are different now. They hold all the power. In this webinar, learn how to meet your buyers on their terms and make it easy for them to purchase.
        • How to find clients fast. Ever wonder where your best leads are? They're on your website right now! Want to create the fastest path from interest to negotiation or purchase? The conversation is the key. Remove the hoops your customers need to jump through and focus on your best buyers NOW.

                  Hands-on exclusive online workshop presented by MAN Digital for tech businesses.

                  For the time being, the B2B bread-and-butter of conferences and in-person events is pretty much on hold. Because of this, smart and adaptable companies have started leaning more on targeting specific companies with online marketing and sales programs.

                  At MAN Digital, we've been successfully putting together both marketing and sales programs and we've learned that just inbound or just outbound is not enough. We need a holistic and aligned approach to the B2B buying process for software development. We do this with ABM ( Account-Based Marketing)

                  You’ll review the step-by-step ABM approach we’ve followed at MAN Digital to deliver delightful experiences that convert happy participants into even happier customers.

                  There’s a lot of moving parts and a lot of debates if ABM is the right strategy.  That’s why in this podcast Romeo Man, Growth Marketing Strategist, will break it all down for you into digestible nuggets you can implement yourself.

                  Joining him in the conversation will be Tom Bonneau, who will lend his expertise on lead nurturing, content delivery, and post-webinar strategy.

                  To challenge us and share insights we've invited Radek Zaleski from Netguru. He is ex-Head of Growth and currently Partner. Netguru's growth is impressive and I am sure we have a lot to learn on how they used ABM and at what stage does ABM make sense for a tech business.

                  We hope you're able to take part with us!
