Legal Firm Sees 7x Increase in Traffic
NY Parking Ticket is a parking ticket service that helps people eliminate or reduce the cost of parking tickets in New York City. Among the six people working for NY Parking Ticket is lawyer Larry Berezin who recently explained in a video interview how HubSpot responds to his company’s Internet marketing needs.
Challenge
“Before we found HubSpot, doing a formal marketing program was unaffordable,” Larry said. That’s why aggressive Internet marketing seemed like the most effective and affordable method for NY Parking Ticket to accomplish its business goals.
Solution
Larry found out about HubSpot when researching different inbound marketing companies. That got him started on a “learning process” during which he got passionate about blogging and social media. Not long afterward, NY Parking Ticket purchased signed up to HubSpot to help his inbound marketing.
“It is like being given 4 great weapons,” Larry said about HubSpot’s software. He likes to use HubSpot’s analytics to learn about his website visitors and leads. “I know when a visitor comes to my website. I know every page he visits; I know how long he spends on a page; I know what whitepapers he has downloaded; I know what buttons he has clicked on; I know everything besides his shoe size before he leaves,” Larry said.
With the blogging analytics Larry compares the performance of his blog posts. He can track the keywords that get his company the most traffic and focus his time on specific terms and topics. “If you have a website and you blog, and you put up pages without being able to measure the results, it is worthless,” Larry concluded.
Another piece of the HubSpot software that Larry likes to use is the keyword grader, which gives him insight into the best keywords to optimize for. “If you guess the wrong keyword, they are going to tell you,” Larry noted. “It is like an old-school wrestling match – you know the outcome before you start incorporating those keywords in your web pages.”
