The Ring Ring Marketing Difference
With so many so-called online marketing firms angling for your hard-earned money, it can be hard to know what to believe.
One claims it can get your website ranked at the top of organic search rankings virtually overnight. Another says it can drive 10 times the traffic to your site for only pennies a day. Yet another says it knows the perfect approach to using your advertising budget — just hand over everything you can spend and leave the details to the “experts.”
It can sound like every entity calling itself an online marketing agency does the exact same thing the same way, but nothing could be further from the truth.
In reality, most of the supposed “marketing firms” that advertise most heavily know close to nothing about marketing location-based businesses. They know how to sell, sure, but we don’t mean how to sell your business to prospective customers. They know how to sell their services to you.
That’s their focus: to keep draining your marketing and advertising budget by locking you into long-term contracts, by providing you only limited data, by restricting you to communicating with their salespeople, not actual marketing experts — because they don’t employ any actual marketing experts.
If that sounds like an exaggeration, it’s not. The sad truth is that the online marketing industry has been infected with agencies whose only concern is squeezing you for as much money as you’re willing to part with.
Unlike Ring Ring Marketing, where we don’t make money unless you make money, these companies don’t tie your success to their success. For them, success just means landing a fat long-term contract. If your investment doesn’t result in any substantial increases in qualified leads, conversions or sales, they simply don’t care.
At RRM, we couldn’t be more different. We’re marketing experts, not salespeople. We don’t lock you into long-term contracts. We offer a full money-back guarantee up to 60 days, long enough for you to see the actual results of what we do for you. We provide full analytics, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for and how it’s driving traffic, conversions and sales.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown on why RRM is the best choice for your business:
1. Conflicts of Interest
Other companies
The vast majority of other firms will accept business from anyone — including your direct competitors. You’re competing with those businesses for presence on the first page of search results. How can an agency fully represent your interests in a given geographical area if it’s working for other local businesses as well? These companies also sell the same leads to everyone — including your direct competition.
Ring Ring Marketing
An agency can only truly represent one type of company in any geographic area. We exclusively represent only one company within a territory, and that company gets our complete, undivided attention. Any leads we generate are exclusive to you: You’re not “sharing” them with another business in your area.
2. Transparency
Other companies
Other agencies are not transparent about how your money is being spent. They lump it all together, not telling you how much is being spent on actual advertising expense, as opposed to how much is being spent on their management fee. They keep this private so they can use up all your advertising budget and hit you up for more.
Ring Ring Marketing
RRM is committed to complete transparency. We keep costs separate and delineated for you. You’ll know exactly how much of your overall marketing costs are directly spent on ad spend — so you can clearly see your return on investment. We charge a flat management fee, so we don’t profit from getting you to spend more money. Our only interest is in delivering the very best ROI for what you do spend.
3. Accountability
Other companies
Once they’re locked you into a pricey long-term contract, most other companies don’t want to hear from you. They hate when you call. Many also build a separate landing site for your business, and when the contract’s over, they keep it. They hold the site and logins/passwords “hostage” to keep you on the line for more business.
Ring Ring Marketing
At RRM, your success is our success. That’s built into our business model. How can we represent you best if we’re not available whenever you need us? That’s why we welcome regular communication. With RRM, you keep all changes we make to your website. You get all logins and passwords, and we deliver traffic directly to your site.
4. Pay for Results
Other companies
Most other agencies require a long-term contract, which means regardless of whether a campaign is working for you (which happens often with these firms), you’re stuck paying regardless. They won’t “pause” a campaign if you need to save money in the off season. They don’t offer a money-back guarantee if you’re not happy with the ROI.
Ring Ring Marketing
We don’t do long-term contracts. We only go month to month, letting you assess how well we’ve done and whether you wish to continue. We also offer a full money-back guarantee for the first 60 days. (That’s how confident we are in what we do: We take on all the risk.) We can “pause” a campaign at any time so you don’t have to spend money when you don’t need to.
5. Marketing Expertise
Other companies
Frankly, most other “marketing” companies know very little (if anything) about the specific strategies that work best for your company. They don’t take the time to work with you on a plan that fits your business. They squeeze you into a “one size fits all” approach, because that’s easiest for them. And the representatives they provide are usually salespeople, not marketing experts. They’re not investing in your success, so they have no incentive to employ people who actually understand how to manage your campaign.
Ring Ring Marketing
We’re marketing professionals, not salespeople. RRM founder Welton Hong is one of the foremost experts in designing Internet marketing campaigns that deliver. That’s why he puts his money where his mouth is, offering a complete no-risk guarantee. When you work with us, we design a campaign that’s unique to your specific needs and goals. We only make money when you make money, so our entire motivation is to deliver the best results for you.
6. Holistic approach
Other companies
Certain companies only do pay-per-click advertising: that’s it. Some only do SEO. Some only do social media. Others can do a couple of those things. And once you contract for one or two of those approaches and see they’re not working, too bad. That’s what you paid for; that’s what you’re getting.
Ring Ring Marketing
We’re fluent in all the different aspects of online marketing, and we design an approach that delivers the best ROI for you. We’re not going to have you spend money on social media if it’s not worth the money to you at this time. We work with you to determine the best bang for your buck, and we can always add additional approaches as needed when you’re ready for them.
7. Bottom-Line Results
Other companies
Most other agencies pay no attention to the bottom line: how their marketing initiatives actually increase your sales. They only care about increasing clicks to your website, but those clicks are worthless if they don’t translate into leads and conversions. They rely on automated systems that can’t refine the process on the fly. They set up your account and hardly touch it afterward. They can’t scale, and they’re happy to take your money for shaky results, because they’re not trying to create a long-term relationship. They know most businesses won’t renew.
Ring Ring Marketing
We know there’s no point to amassing a lot of clicks if those don’t turn into people calling and visiting your business. We know there’s no point to increasing traffic that’s not high quality. If certain metrics don’t equate to increased business and revenue, they’re useless. We’re constantly monitoring your account on a daily basis, always looking for ways to improve the ROI. We’re hands-on, so we can scale your account whenever you need. We create long-term relationships with businesses: Our retention rate is over 98 percent.
8. Return on Investment
Other companies
You could save a lot of money by building your home out of cardboard, but good luck making that work the first time it rains. Many other agencies try to get your business by offering cardboard house prices, but you get what you pay for: a completely worthless investment. Others offer a bit more value, but they charge ridiculously outsized prices for what you get in return: It’s like paying Mercedes prices for a Saturn.
Ring Ring Marketing
By comparison, RRM offers the Mercedes experience for Saturn pricing. Our services are incredibly affordable given the established hands-on expertise we bring to the table. We don’t charge bargain-basement prices, but companies that do just leave you trapped in the basement. RRM services are comparable to those of much more expensive agencies. We’re dedicated to ensuring your window and door business an exceptional return on investment, which is why we can offer a full money-back guarantee.
9. We Care
Other companies
Most other agencies are as invested in your business as they would be if they just sold you a hamburger through the drive-through. Thanks for the money; go enjoy your hamburger. Why are you still here? You have your hamburger. Don’t bother us again until you want another hamburger.
Ring Ring Marketing
At RRM, we actually do care about your business, and we don’t think there’s anything corny about that. We were founded on the principle of actually wanting to bring good into the world. We’re thrilled when the businesses we work with succeed spectacularly — and we’re pleased to say that happens virtually all the time. Other companies want to succeed by taking advantage of you. We want to succeed along with you. That’s why we set up our business to only make money when you make money. It’s a true partnership, and that means a lot to us.
