Selling search engine optimisation and local search services to event planners

Event planners range from freelance wedding planners to agencies running conferences and corporate events. They book venues, suppliers and technology on behalf of clients, so they are both buyers and gatekeepers for many other businesses.

SEO agencies often find clients by spotting businesses with weak search visibility and reaching out with a specific observation. Keeping those prospects in your own lead database lets you record what you noticed about each site and follow up at the right moment.

Every month you do not reach event planners with a clear offer, someone else does. A list you own lets you work the market in a steady rhythm instead of in bursts.

What SEO agencies run into with event planners

Your audit notes per prospect are scattered over documents and spreadsheets.

Add custom fields and notes to every record, so the finding you want to mention sits next to the contact.

Many small business websites list no email address.

Email from domain turns the website into role addresses such as info@ and hello@ without credits.

Planners are on site at events and slow to reply.

Open tracking shows who read your mail, so a short follow-up goes only to the interested ones.

Wedding planners and corporate planners are mixed in one list.

Tag event types and save a filter per type.
