The Back Story

Complete Payroll had experienced steady growth most years since its founding in 1992. But like many HR and payroll processing companies, its website was outdated and it relied mostly on outside sales activity for growth. New client acquisition was typically tied to how many sales reps they employed and how well they performed. They knew they wanted create new client acquisition streams beyond client referrals and outside sales, so they partnered with The Gist to design and implement an inbound marketing strategy to usher in a new era of growth.

Our Solution

We began by designing a strategy that aimed to position Complete Payroll as a proactive, helpful partner for payroll and HR solutions by highlighting its people and unique level of support. We built a new website that was optimized for search engines, conversions and client education. We combined consistent blog production with several gated content offers to increase web traffic and conversions simultaneously. Then we supplemented those core activities with video content, email marketing, sales automation and much more, all within the HubSpot ecosystem.
