Why 95% of all online marketing strategies fail
You do SEO, post on social media, place ads - but the visitors don't increase, there is no interaction and the ad costs explode? The reason: everyone is doing the same thing.Without a clear system budget and attention get lost in the crowd.

- 🔴 Little interaction on social media
- 🔴 High ad costs with low conversion

- ✅ Focus on search intent, dwell time, micro-conversations

- ❌ Mass backlinks, 5,000-word filler texts, keyword density
- interactive content (video, quiz, tools), clear answers, SERP formats (PAA/FAQ)
- ✅ Formulate headings as questions ("How does ... work?", "Errors with ...")

Reach is created with structure, not by chance. Use Hook-Story-Offer dM dialogs and clear CTAs.
- ✅ Focus platform instead of "being everywhere"
- ✅ Posts with hook story offer + link to landing page
- dMs & automations for qualified calls
