The Evolve™ Advisor Practice Marketing Process

Get Found

Like many categories, individuals often begin their search for a financial advisor on-line. There are two questions to be asked: Will prospects find your firm when conducting an on-line search? Does your firm show up on the first page of search engine results? If the answer to either of these questions is "no", you could be losing potential clients to your competitors. If your firm is looking to enhance its practice development program, it may want to start by improving its search engine rankings. Evolutionize specializes in helping advisors "get found."

Our search engine friendly Evolve 2.0™ websites, search engine optimization, pay-per-click advertising solutions and directory optimization solutions are designed to boost your on-page and off-page search engine performance drivers, build your link authority and expand visibility for your website and landing pages. Developing a compliant social networking program to supplement the firm's efforts in this area is equally as important. Why? Because boosting your website's indexable pages and inbound links are directly related to your search rankings and lead generation success and blogging, social network posts and Tweets assist in extending the firm's message reach and enhancing the number of inbound links.

The end result is an increase in the number of leads your firm is able to capture. Search engine algorithms are complex and ever changing, requiring skilled consultants steeped in search engine optimization to build your firm's performance in this critical area.

Distinguish Your Firm

What will a prospect or client’s first impression be when they visit your website? Does your site position your firm, its resource offering, investment philosophy and Team member credentials in an optimal light? Will the visitor to your website be encouraged to spend more time investigating your firm’s value offering, or will they quickly navigate away to another advisor’s website?

At Evolutionize our goal is to distinguish your firm as a leader, differentiating you from key competitors to provide your firm an advantage with potential clients that are considering an advisor relationship or in referring an advisor firm to a relative, friend or associate. Sadly, many advisors are using dated brochureware websites or have yet to even launch a website for their firm, thus hindering their ability to get found, and when discovered, to stand out from the crowd. Our Evolve 2.0™ websites are designed to distinguish your firm visually, position the organization as a “Go To” source of compliant investor information and to showcase a compelling set of investment tools. This approach will allow visitors to your website to readily visualize the value that will accrue to them when they become a client of your firm.

One of the principal goals of marketing is to profitably drive revenue while distinguishing the firm for competitive advantage. One of the best way to drive revenue is to acquire new clients. In reviewing the findings of the 2010 FA Insight Study of Advisory Firms' “Growth by Design” analysis, a couple of clear patterns emerged:

  1. The need for marketing: 48% of new clients came from existing client referrals, meaning that over half of an advisor firm’s new clients resulted from some other aspect of their practice marketing efforts.
  2. Marketing matters: Firms that embraced a “growth by design” approach significantly outperformed their counterparts with annual growth rates that were 10% to 30% higher and operating profit margins that were 12% to 16% greater.

Generating qualified leads, nurturing those prospects through the consideration process and converting them to clients requires an integrated marketing approach. To be certain, the advisor plays a critical role in this process through their phone conversations, written correspondence and face-to-face meetings with each prospect.

As the “Growth by Design” study shows, a firm’s chances for success in acquiring new clients can be greatly enhanced with the development of a practice marketing plan. Having a marketing or practice development plan that defines the firm’s target audience, key value propositions as well as articulates the firm’s service offering in a clear and compelling manner allows for the effective allocation of a firm’s time and money.
