ThoroughCare
Dan Godla knew he was onto something. As a veteran of the healthcare industry, he had grown frustrated by unintuitive, unreliable platforms that were holding back caregivers. “As a growing startup, we could move pretty fast,” says Dan. “Our core product did a lot of what these new programs were asking to do, and we added the missing features until we had the solution doctors needed.” Even with a good product, growth was slow in such a crowded industry. Dan and his team needed to do something to break through.

Fire & Ice
How do you stand out in an industry jam-packed with competition? For years, Fire & Ice Heating and Air Conditioning faced this challenge, and for years, they chose the same path: We can do it cheaper than the next guy. To survive, they needed to get some distance from the competition. They knew there must be a way. When they happened upon Marcus Sheridan’s book They Ask, You Answer, they knew they'd found it.

Dalinghaus
The Dalinghaus team was spending heavily on paid search ads. Brad Dalinghaus had heard it all before. His team had worked with several agencies over the years, and every single one had prescribed the same solution: You need a new website. But several expensive website redesigns failed to deliver results — as did the mediocre blog articles the agencies would write. On top of that, the Dalinghaus team was spending heavily on paid search ads. It was clear that something had to change.

Bill Ragan Roofing
Bill and Taffy happened upon Marcus’s book, and the message resonated with them. It made so much sense: With the right content, they could attract would-be buyers to their website. Rather than blasting out mailers and radio ads, they could have potential customers come to them.
“I started reading the book,” recalls Bill. “I thought, ‘this is fantastic, we can do this.’ ”

Berry Insurance
The folks at Berry Insurance faced a challenge. They knew that insurance was something that everyone needed but no one knew much about. Even worse, people associated insurance with the worst moments of life: accidents, injuries, and disasters. Would inbound marketing really work for a small independent insurance company? Would people even want to read about insurance?

That’s translated to huge gains in revenue, too.
