Understanding Marketing Priorities
Understanding Marketing Priorities
After generating your Marketing Plan, WP Marketing Pro organizes recommendations into Marketing Priorities. These priorities help you focus on the activities most likely to improve your marketing results and grow your business.
Rather than trying to do everything at once, Marketing Priorities identify where your time, budget, and effort should be invested first.
Why Marketing Priorities Matter
One of the biggest challenges business owners face is knowing what to work on next.
Many businesses have dozens of marketing opportunities available, including:
SEO
Social Media
Email Marketing
Advertising
Landing Pages
Funnels
Reviews
Automation
Trying to tackle everything at once often leads to confusion and inconsistent results.
Marketing Priorities solve this problem by helping you focus on the most important activities first.
How WP Marketing Pro Determines Priorities
WP Marketing Pro analyzes your Marketing Plan answers and evaluates factors such as:
Business goals
Current marketing assets
Website presence
Advertising activity
Lead generation systems
Customer acquisition opportunities
Existing marketing gaps
Based on this information, recommendations are ranked according to their potential impact.
The result is a customized roadmap designed specifically for your business.
High Priority Recommendations
High Priority recommendations represent activities that are likely to deliver the greatest impact.
These are often foundational marketing tasks that support future growth.
Examples include:
Building a Website
If your business does not have a website, creating one may become a top priority.
Creating a Google Business Profile
For local businesses, improving local visibility can significantly increase leads and customer inquiries.
Launching Landing Pages
Dedicated landing pages often improve conversions and provide targeted marketing opportunities.
Building a Lead Capture Funnel
Funnels help convert visitors into leads and customers through a structured process.
Improving SEO
Search Engine Optimization helps potential customers discover your business through organic search.
These recommendations typically provide the strongest return on effort.
Medium Priority Recommendations
Medium Priority tasks are important but may depend on higher-priority activities being completed first.
Examples include:
Publishing blog content
Growing social media audiences
Building email campaigns
Creating marketing automations
Launching advertising campaigns
These initiatives become more effective once foundational marketing systems are in place.
Lower Priority Recommendations
Lower Priority recommendations are not unimportant.
Instead, they are typically activities that should be completed after core marketing assets are established.
Examples may include:
Advanced automation workflows
Additional advertising channels
Expanded content strategies
Advanced conversion testing
Secondary marketing campaigns
These tasks often provide incremental improvements after the foundation has been built.
Understanding Marketing Foundations
WP Marketing Pro generally prioritizes foundational marketing assets before advanced strategies.
A typical progression might look like this:
Foundation
Website
Business Profile
SEO Basics
Contact Information
Core Service Pages
Lead Generation
Landing Pages
Funnels
Lead Forms
Calls-to-Action
Marketing Growth
Email Marketing
Social Media
Reviews
Content Marketing
Scale and Automation
Marketing Automation
Advanced Advertising
Retargeting Campaigns
Customer Nurturing Systems
This progression helps ensure that each marketing activity supports the next.
Priorities Are Unique to Your Business
No two businesses receive identical priorities.
For example:
Local Roofing Company
Top priorities might include:
Google Business Profile
Local SEO
Review Generation
Service Area Pages
Ecommerce Store
Top priorities might include:
Product Landing Pages
Email Marketing
Cart Recovery
Product Advertising
Consultant or Freelancer
Top priorities might include:
Lead Generation Funnel
Personal Branding
Appointment Scheduling
Email Follow-Up
Your priorities are generated specifically for your business profile and objectives.
Turning Priorities Into Action
Marketing Priorities are not intended to sit in a report.
WP Marketing Pro automatically converts priorities into actionable tasks through the Action Plan system.
For example:
Priority:
Improve Local SEO
Action Plan Tasks:
Optimize Google Business Profile
Add service area pages
Request customer reviews
Improve page titles
Create location-specific content
This transforms strategy into practical steps that can be completed over time.
Review Priorities Regularly
Marketing priorities can change as your business evolves.
You may want to generate a new Marketing Plan when:
Launching new services
Entering new markets
Hiring staff
Increasing your marketing budget
Launching advertising campaigns
Rebranding your business
Keeping your priorities current ensures you’re always focused on the activities that matter most.
Focus on Progress, Not Perfection
Many business owners feel overwhelmed by marketing because there are always more opportunities available.
The purpose of Marketing Priorities is not to do everything immediately.
The goal is to help you identify the next best step and make consistent progress over time.
Small improvements completed consistently often produce better results than large plans that are never implemented.
