- Content marketing: Creation of bottom- and mid-funnel assets (blogs, case studies, infographics, whitepapers) to inspire action and drive engagement
- Social media marketing: Using social platforms to distribute content, run campaigns, and generate demand from target B2B audiences
- Email marketing: Sending targeted email campaigns that nurture leads, support sales follow-up, and drive conversions
- Conversion rate optimization (CRO): Data-driven testing and funnel analysis to improve lead capture and conversion efficiency

What are the average project timelines?
Foundational campaigns for brands without an established online presence can take about 6 months, according to US digital marketing agency Funnel Boost Media. On the other hand, a full campaign redesign may require 3-6 months, from discovery to launch.
The final timeline depends on the number of target locations, feedback cycle, project complexity, and scope.

When can businesses expect ROI from digital marketing campaigns?
Businesses can expect early traction from digital marketing campaigns in 3 to 6 months. However, more consistent, revenue-attributable ROI will appear within 6-12 months.
Below is a rough ROI timeline according to Searchbloom:
- SEO takes around 3-6 months; however, brands facing high industry competition may take longer.
- Paid media produces results within 30-60 days after account optimization and A/B testing.
- CRO only takes a few months after testing and implementation.
- Web redesign and development show performance improvements within 2-4 months after launch, especially when combined with paid and organic strategies.
