Agile Market Domination
How long will it take for our new website to rank in search engines?
To really work our magic, the process may take a little while in the beginning—but after a few months, you should start to see numbers that will make you wish you met us sooner.
How do MD phases work?
Will need strategist to weigh-in here during their step as I am not generally part of this process and don’t want to guess wrong
Is the website custom, or will you use templates?
We’re not into templates—we wouldn’t be able to call ourselves artists if we were. No, everything you get will be fully custom, from scratch, to match your unique brand.
Who will we work with?
You will get to work with a variety of experts, from graphic designers and strategists to writers and coders. The whole team is at your disposal and ready to answer any questions you may have—that’s the nature of our hive team structure.
How many pages will my website have?
As many as you’d like! The way we see it: the more the merrier, since these pages can help skyrocket your SEO—and your growth. Every company is different, so we’ll work with you to meet your needs.
What happens when we’re done?
Will need strategist to weigh-in here during their step as I am not generally part of this process and don’t want to guess wrong… do we mention kickoffs here?
App Development
What types of apps do you develop?
Mobile and desktop app development are some of our specialties.
What platforms do you develop apps for?
We mostly develop apps for web, iOS, and Android. But if you have an app development platform preference that isn’t listed above, we can work with you to determine the best way forward.
Do you provide app maintenance after launch?
Absolutely. We never leave our clients hanging. If there’s something you need, you can always reach out to your dedicated team and we’ll jump in so you don’t stay stuck for long.
I only want to enhance my existing app. Can you help?
Yes! We would gladly give your current app the tweaks—or full refurbishment—it needs to help take your business to new heights.
How much time will it take to develop my app?
The timeline for completing your app is very dependent on the scope of the project and the individual needs of the company.
I don't have a complete idea. Can you help?
We will—and we’ll have fun doing it, too. We’re passionate about this stuff. App development, whether we’re just updating or starting from a blank canvas to assist you with ideation, is no problem for us at Uhuru. We’ll work together to make something you love.
B2C Websites
What’s the difference between B2B and B2C websites?
B2B and B2C websites are similar because they both focus on selling products or services — just to different audiences. B2B sites need to focus on selling themselves to another business owner and often have a longer sales cycle, while B2C websites are selling to the end-user; depending on the product, they may have faster sales. The hurdles to make a sale with each are different.
Can we work together if we already have a website but want to update it?
Yes! We work with you to prioritize the items you want to update on your website and we also spend time at the start of your program strategically reviewing your website and sharing with you what we discover that needs improvements.
How will we see the progress of our website development?
We share progress updates with you in three ways. You’ll have access to our client project management software where you’ll receive updates as we complete different website updates and you’ll see all items in progress as well. We have weekly or bi-weekly client meetings where we’ll share what we completed in the sprint and you’ll also receive monthly reports and what has been completed and your overall program.
Blogging and Content Creation
How do you write content with your buyer personas in mind?
Before you begin creating content, it is essential to know who your buyer personas are. Knowing this should inform you of what they are searching for and what type of content they will find valuable. With this information, you can create content that focuses on your buyer persona that either educates them, helps answer questions they have, or helps bring them to a buying decision. Developing content around their buying cycle is what will bring your company the most success.
Why is blogging important for my business
When you provide useful and informative blog posts that align with your brand positioning and value proposition and answer the common questions for your target and existing buyers, your business and executives will be seen as authorities. Providing ongoing valuable content to your client is something that many businesses overlook, but it’s what keeps your client coming back. Your clients will eventually turn from just one-time buyers to promoters of your brand if you continue to nurture them through your blog.
Do you SEO optimize all of your content?
Yes! We research competitors in your industry and determine their SEO ranking to build and break down their success to create an SEO plan for your content. SEO guarantees long-term online marketing success and a lower cost per acquisition throughout the life of your business.
How will Uhuru write content for my industry and business?
Depending on your industry and how unique your product or service offering is, we either have you review and approve outlines before writing the first draft or conduct interviews with subject matter experts in your company.

Content Offer Services
How do you get accurate information for the lead magnets you create?
We collaborate with your team to understand how to frame the problem and solution. Then our copywriters and strategist perform in-depth research to develop professional copy.
Will there be a revision to the copy and/or design?
Yes! We want you to add your ideas and unique perspective for both copy and design, so we look forward to your feedback at each revision stage. Our specialists work to implement any changes you need in a timely manner.
Will I be able to see the offer before it’s finished?
Absolutely. You’ll see it a few times, actually. After the first draft of the copy is done, we’ll send it to you for revisions. You’ll see it again at least one more time before it goes to design, and then again after our designers have worked their magic.
How quickly can a content offer be created?
Typically a content offer takes about a month to create, from conception to a final product being published on your site. It can take longer, however, for more in-depth offers or offers that require web development.
Custom Brand Design
Do you offer unlimited revisions?
Our programs work from points which means that as long as you have enough points in your program you do have unlimited edits. We want to ensure you have a design that is a true representation of your brand.
What do I need to prepare before talking with you?
Know what elements of your brand you want to update such as your logo, fonts, colors, website, and print collateral. Share who will be involved in the branding project and if there is a specific point of contact that will approve all work. Have an idea of your timeline and budget.
We already have a brand identity. Can you still help?
We’re always up for reinvigorating existing brand elements if that’s what you need. If you already have an old brand identity you think might need a little love, our strategists and designers can take a look to see how it stacks up against modern competition.
Get in touch! You may already have great stuff, but we can do a deep assessment and see whether any improvements can be made so it performs to its full potential.
I already have a logo—can you still help me with my brand identity?
Of course! We would love to design you a custom brand identity, regardless of what pieces you may already have in place. We can either take a look at everything you have and refresh your logo, or leave your existing logo alone and create other parts of your brand identity to match.
How can I be sure I will like the design?
We’re confident enough in the abilities of our seasoned specialists to say you’ll be delighted by what you see—but you can always make changes along the way to ensure you get exactly what you want, so don’t sweat it.
Custom Landing Pages
Where do you build custom landing pages?
Do design and build your own landing pages or do you use templates?
How many landing pages do we need for our website?
Do we get to review the design and provide edits?
Can you improve our current landing pages or do you start from scratch?
Custom Landing Page Templates
I already have a web designer, why would I engage with Uhuru?
Remember, we are a certified HubSpot partner. Whether your in-house designer is creating stunning HubSpot web pages, you will want our experts on your side. When it comes to HubSpot to ensure you’re fully utilizing this software to deliver marketing and sales results.
I don’t like how my website looks, can you help with that too?
Absolutely, we love web design and have redesigned entire websites for clients in the past as needed. We still do it today when asked because we love the feedback we get from our happy customers each time.
Can you work with our developers and show them how to build the templates?
Yes! You like their work and want them to stay—we’re here to make their lives easier, not replace them! We’ll work with your team to make sure they understand all that HubSpot has to offer, so you always get the most out of it.
Developing a Marketing Roadmap
I already have an in-house marketer. Do I really need Uhuru?
My marketing isn’t seeing an ROI - can you help fix this?
I don’t have time for strategy. How can I take action now?
Email Marketing
What email marketing platform will be used for our campaigns?
We work with the softwares you are currently using or we recommend HubSpot for marketing automation. If you are looking to change your email software, take a look at our HubSpot implementation, it might be something we can help you with.
Do you perform A/B testing to improve email campaigns?
Definitely. We run email tests for a variety of campaigns and offers. If it’s an evergreen campaign, we’ll test different subjects or copy in the email, see what generates the best results and implement it for the next campaign.
How do you measure email marketing success?
We review and analyze email open rates, click through rates, conversions, and bounced emails. The data from each email will tell us if we need to adjust our subject lines or call to action in the email.
Who will receive our emails?
We only email your current email lists or generate new lists organically or with paid ads. The message we send also depends on the campaigns we work on together and the goal of the campaign. For example, sending campaigns to marketing qualified leads would be different than sales qualified leads and current clients. Together we’ll develop an email strategy to ensure success.
Email Outreach Services
How does outbound fit with my inbound marketing efforts?
Inbound marketing is the foundation of your outbound sales process. Many marketing and sales investments fail without both inbound marketing and outbound sales. Bringing the inbound methodology into the strategic planning efforts of your outbound sales strategy will help you create the foundation for a healthier, longer relationship with your future customers.
When you personalize your sales messages and touchpoints to accommodate the real, live person at the receiving end of your messages and offer value to them with no obligation, you won’t be perceived as spam. They will feel heard, and for that reason alone, they are more likely to listen. These recipients will have had a good experience with your brand rather than feeling as if you are in their face with your marketing efforts like they might be getting with other companies.
How many leads will I get per week/month?
It depends on the package you choose. For the Fast and Faster packages, approximately 200–400 leads will be generated and reached out to per week, depending on how sophisticated your qualified buyer criteria are and the complexity of your sales offers.
For the Fastest package, we work to generate and reach out to 400–600 leads per week.
Are the software programs you use for outreach included in the price?
No, they are not. In order for us to implement our full outreach strategy, it’s imperative that you have the proper tools in place. We can help guide you here, as well. LinkedIn has an utterly invaluable suite of tools that nearly any business prioritizing modernization and staying at the cutting-edge is making sure to utilize today, so don’t miss out on this opportunity.
We don’t want to see you fall behind when there is so much you can offer people—they simply have to know about you and what your company does.
When is the best time to invest in outbound sales?
If you have an effective inbound marketing approach; are producing high-quality content that is generating a steady flow of new, organic traffic and leads; and are ready to scale your lead generation efforts, then it’s time to focus your efforts on outbound sales that will target new prospects and convert them to quality leads.
The key here is understanding that outbound sales is not a stand-alone initiative, but can help scale your successful lead-generation efforts in the right combination with other methods. If you don’t yet have an established sales process, sales scripts, and SOPs in place for your sales team to be successful, it may be time to invest in Sales Enablement. Our outreach email service is a great place to start.

Generating an Irresistible Offer
We’ve already imported our data, but nothing makes sense. Can Uhuru help?
Absolutely. We can work with you to figure out what went wrong during your import and help you either clean up and reorganize the data you have or export and re-import with the correct structure.
Can you import something other than my contacts?
We can work with you to import records related to contacts, companies, deals, products, service tickets, and notes. However, we recommend that all data be imported into HubSpot at the same time so there are no information gaps.
Can you help me set up an ongoing data migration?
Yes! If you have other technology platforms that are not being replaced by HubSpot but you still want to track their data, we can help you set up an ongoing data stream — either through a pre-built connection or by building a custom integration for you.

Health Care Marketing Podcast
Where can I listen?
You can listen on iTunes, Stitcher, and Google Play. We’re coming to Spotify and other podcast platforms soon!
Can I recommend a guest?
Absolutely. We are always looking for experts to share their wisdom with us. Please contact us and share your recommendations. We will need their name, email address, and LinkedIn profile to get us started.
Can I be a guest?
We are always looking for health care, marketing, sales, and business experts. If you feel like you have knowledge our digital health audience needs, please contact us.
Can I submit a topic I want to learn about?
Please do! We want to make sure we are providing valuable content to our audience and we love hearing what you need from us. Please contact us to share what you want to learn about next.
HubSpot Diagnostic
What will my diagnostic include?
We’ll work with you to identify all the opportunities for automation and consolidation within HubSpot and any new campaigns you want to create, and determine where you want our help.
How much will it cost?
A HubSpot diagnostic is free. We want to ensure we are the right partner for you and share with you the immediate improvements we’ll make when we get started.
How long will it take?
Once we get access to your HubSpot account, one of your marketers will evaluate your account and share their findings with you within the week.
What happens after I schedule my call?
You can take the HubSpot improvements we’ve discovered and either implement them on your own or discuss how we can work together to help you improve your HubSpot account and marketing results.
HubSpot Management
Wait, so I’m paying HubSpot to use their platform, and then I also need to pay someone to manage it for me?
How do I know HubSpot is worth the investment?
Do you manage both HubSpot Marketing Hub and Sales Hub?
Do I have to pay HubSpot for the implementation fee if I work with you?
HubSpot Onboarding
How quickly can everything be built in HubSpot?
For a better projection, we recommend getting started with our HubSpot diagnostic so we can review your current technology setup and which Hubs you want to use. The most complex setups can take upwards of six months, but most organizations can be running with HubSpot in 90 days or less. Minimal setups can be typically completed in just a few weeks.
Will you train us to use HubSpot?
When you onboard with Uhuru, we’ll make sure you understand how to use everything we’ve built for you in HubSpot. For more general training on the Hubs and available tools, we recommend the HubSpot Academy sessions.
Can we buy HubSpot directly from Uhuru?
If you’re considering HubSpot, we can help guide you through the best options for your technology needs. As a HubSpot Platinum Partner, we work very closely their team to fit the right fit for your goals and budget.
How is this different from onboarding directly with HubSpot?
Uhuru’s onboarding process follows a similar framework, but takes a deeper, more hands-on approach to HubSpot. In addition to the technical setup and product guidance, we’ll help you review your entire customer journey and find strategic opportunities to improve your processes and get the most out of your HubSpot setup. We can then help you build the automations, templates, reports, and more you need to be successful.
Can Uhuru rebuild our website on HubSpot?
Yes! We can work with you to migrate or even redesign your website on HubSpot CMS, WordPress or other content management systems.
Ideal Account Profile
Why do I need an ICP?
Remember, an ideal customer profile will ensure you’re getting quality leads, rather than just any leads you can find. You’re carefully and calculatedly targeting for exactitude.
What will an ICP help me do?
It all boils down to cutting waste. Once you have an ideal customer profile in place, precious company time, funds, workers’ efforts, and other resources need not be spent doing frankly unnecessary activities that could have been better allocated toward other responsibilities—ones that will actually further your bottom line.
What do I do with my ICP after it's created?
From there, you can do so much more than you could before you had one—you can go off and market and sell to your heart’s desire, this time around being confident that you’re getting the right leads. Just have a smart plan and there will be virtually no limit to the possibilities.
Ideal Prospect Personas
Why Do I Need a Sales Prospect Persona?
Sales prospect personas are great to be able to really get to know who you’re trying to sell to. If you don’t, you may fall short when it comes to efforts to bring in new clients—seeing as you could attract customers that aren’t a good match, or you could accidentally ward off ones you want by not showing them you took the time to do the work and deeply understand their wants and needs. People always prefer a customized experience. Make it apparent that you really care and are there to be the best solution.
What Will a Prospect Persona Help Me Do?
A sales prospect persona will help you imagine what you’re ideal client or customer might be like, since again, you won’t know them very well before you start. Gather whatever information you can that will help you put the pieces together in your head of who this person really is. Take notes on anything from age range and location to their income bracket and emotional triggers. Anything that can paint the picture of what this person might want and how you can meet those needs, while also being confident it will improve your company’s bottom line.

Inbound Marketing
How long does it take to generate results?
Typically, a full inbound marketing program is a minimum 10- to 12-month program. Months 1-2 are goal setting and foundation setup. By Month 3, you should be seeing significant improvement in your reach, engagement, and traffic growth due to the paid acquisition channels. Months 4 through 9 are build-out of lead-generating funnels and ongoing campaign optimizations based on what is working.
If you’re in B2B and see five- to six-month sales cycles, you can expect the same timeframe for inbound marketing, if not slightly longer.
If you’re in B2C or B2C eCommerce, you can expect a boost from ads by month 2 or 3, once we nail the target and messaging, if not slightly longer.
How much disruption will your work with us create?
Our work shouldn’t be disruptive by any means, but rather complementary and if anything, many of our clients have expressed that they’ve experienced very positive improvements in their overall efficiency and productivity as an added benefit of working with us.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your program for the coming month at any time. Most programs are Good-Til-Cancelled (GTC), otherwise agreed upon.
What is SCRUM?
Scrum is a framework that boosts transparency and adaptability. It makes it easier for each member of our team to consistently return high-quality results. To implement the Scrum framework, each hive team must include certain events in their work structure. At a minimum, it starts with a Daily Huddle, Weekly Sprints, and Sprint Review and Planning. You can read all about How Uhuru Uses Scrum for Agile Marketing.
What does your inbound marketing program cost?
To support products, divisions, or specific funnel goals and focus on demand generation with fully integrated campaigns across search marketing, social media, content marketing, strategy, analysis, automation, graphics, and more—programs range from a $8,500–$25,000 monthly retainer.
This price does not include the cost of buying the traffic from Facebook, Google, or other networks. Ad spend is on your own account, which is separate from our program fee. Whatever you pay for ads on Facebook, Google, etc. goes directly to them. We don’t mark it up.
Who will be the person we work with in our program?
You will work directly with a Program Owner (Strategist and Digital Marketing Consultants) and the rest of their hive team. The goal of the hive structure is to create a core team that can service all your needs.
Our hives use the Agile Marketing methodology, SCRUM, and apply it to produce tangible business results.
Get a deep dive into our teams by reading our resource: The Best Marketing Team Structure to Increase Efficiency and Output.
How will Uhuru work with our internal marketing team?
We specialize in working with established marketing teams, where at least one person owns the marketing relationship with Uhuru. We aren’t a transactional, outsourced vendor. We complement your team, we support you how you need us to, and we work together with your internal marketing and sales team.
Do you offer a paid media program only?
Yes! Before committing to a full inbound marketing plan, you can take Uhuru for a spin thanks to our BA Attack program!
Even better: we’re flexible about program lengths and the minimum is three months!
What if I want the strategy completed in 30 days?
Uhuru’s proprietary Strategic Framework is the foundation for all marketing activities and provides guidance in the long term (12–18 months). It is a framework under which marketing decisions can be made, as well as a reference and guide for campaign development.
If the campaign launch time is compressed due to short-term objectives or time-sensitive initiatives, the Uhuru Strategic Framework can be implemented in 30 days.
To accommodate this timeline, we offer the strategy as an independent component of your ongoing program. Read Marketing Strategy Engagement for more information.
Why is your program’s investment so high?
According to Salary.com, just to hire one marketing manager costs well over $100k with salary and benefits.
Add that to the cost of an SEO expert, a writer (or two), a web designer, a developer, a social media manager, an analytics person, and a marketing operations person, and you’ll be spending upwards of $500k a year just for the people that are doing the marketing.
Then add the tools they’ll need to get their jobs done, the training time needed to stay current, and the expense of replacing any of these employees who don’t work out. It’s our responsibility to recruit, train, and provide you with an experienced and skilled marketing team. Uhuru’s program, for example—say, $12,500 per month—gives you the combined experience of an entire marketing team—$500k in skilled comp, for $150K per year.

LinkedIn Ads and LinkedIn Marketing Services
How is LinkedIn advertising different from advertising on other platforms, like Facebook and Google?
The audience that typically spends time on the website is what sets LinkedIn apart from other advertising platforms. Top executives, directors, managers, and other decision-makers utilize the site—so you’re putting valuable content in front of the individuals that can really help your business thrive.
Will you create everything I need to run ads?
Yes, we will write copy, edit, and design creative in addition to deploying, managing, and optimizing your ads.
Is it worth it to advertise on LinkedIn?
Simply put, this depends on your business, but nearly any company can benefit from LinkedIn. LinkedIn ads tend to be more costly than other platforms, but it can bring in more qualified leads that may invest in your product or service.
Is targeting different when advertising on LinkedIn?
Yes, on LinkedIn, you have the ability to target by job title, job function, location, industry, company size, and education.
How would my company benefit from investing in an agency that specializes in LinkedIn marketing services?
Investing in Uhuru’s LinkedIn marketing services will help your business achieve long-term benefits. Your campaigns will be expertly tailored to attract your target audience effectively. Also, by outsourcing your LinkedIn advertising efforts, you will have more time to focus on other areas of your business.
LinkedIn Outreach Services
I’m already investing resources into inbound marketing, why do I need outbound?
Inbound is a long-term game and a necessary component to the foundation of your marketing strategy. But if you need to generate sales now, you have to have some outbound activity to drive monthly or quarterly performance initiatives.
If you don’t do outbound, you’re at the whim of Google, your inbound initiative campaigns, and the buyer’s journey in a variable market. So, you will need to go after the market in as many ways possible in order to optimize your lead-to-customer conversion rates.
Customer acquisition through LinkedIn outreach is about reaching people where they are and providing them value. It’s about proactively getting in front of them instead of merely sitting around waiting for them to be ready to buy. Outbound allows us to do just that.
How many leads will I get per week/month?
How long before we start to see results?
The short answer is: Leads should be delivered in about 30 days. Our team has a 2-week adaptation period to get up to speed on your sales processes and buyer personas. After that, our more aggressive outreach starts. You will see results during even just the first weeks of outreach!
And to reach maximum conversion potential, it typically takes 60–90 days of adjustments, but you can be confident that the results will be visible well before that.
Are we spamming people?
No, this is personalized 1:1 outreach.
Remember, the idea is to create value and make things feel as personalized as possible for the people receiving messages on behalf of your business. We know what to say to make sure people are getting the right experience every time—one that is actually enjoyable, that they would not mind having again.
That’s what makes them continue to talk to your company, not just because of your products or services (which they might not even get far enough into your funnel to learn about what you offer without the right tactics on your side) but the way they are approached and treated.
LinkedIn Profile Optimization
Why LinkedIn?
Studies report that as many as 332 million people use LinkedIn. If you think many of your best prospects are not included in that group, you may want to reconsider whether your business is living in the modern era. We can get you caught up with the digital era so that you are at the cutting edge—and that your competitors aren’t getting all the good sales before you can get to them.
What if my audience doesn’t use LinkedIn?
Users join LinkedIn to advance their professional careers, expand their network, and seek out new jobs. LinkedIn draws people of all types, but the majority of its users are professionally orientated. If your business offers a service or product that might appeal to this type of person, advertising on LinkedIn could be a good move. LinkedIn is perfect for B2B situations, when your business is targeting other businesses as customers.
Isn’t my LinkedIn profile basically a digital resume?
How long does it take for my LinkedIn profile optimizations to work?
From our experience we start seeing improvements rank within a few weeks. Drawing traffic to your LinkedIn page isn’t just a set it and forget it deal. The more effort you dedicate towards drawing people to your LinkedIn page(s), the more connections you’ll gain and thereby the more often you’ll appear in LinkedIn searches.

Short answer: Leads delivered in about 30 days. Our team has a 2-week adaptation period to get up to speed on your sales processes and buyer personas. After that, our aggressive outreach starts. You will see results during the first weeks of outreach. To reach maximum conversion potential, it typically takes 60–90 days of adjustments, but the results are visible well before that.
Are we spamming people?
No. We’re doing personalized 1:1 outreach. If people reply that they’d like to be unsubscribed, it’s just a sign to bring the personalization to a higher level.
Are the software programs you use for outreach included in the price?
No, they are not. In order for us to implement our full outreach strategy, it’s imperative that you have accounts with a number of software programs.
List of software programs and accounts to properly execute outreach (some of these tools change based on platform compatibility):
- LinkedIn Premium
- HubSpot
- G Suite
- LinkedHub
- NeverBounce
List of software programs we recommend you use for advanced integration:
- LastPass
- Slack
- Jira
- Zapier
How does this outbound program fit with my inbound marketing efforts?
Inbound marketing is the foundation of your outbound sales process. Many marketing and sales investments fail without both inbound marketing and outbound sales.
Bringing the inbound methodology into the strategic planning efforts of your outbound sales strategy will help you create the foundation for a healthier, longer relationship with your future customers.
When you personalize your sales messages and touchpoints to accommodate the real, live person at the receiving end of your messages and offer value to them with no obligation, you won’t be perceived as spam. They will feel heard, and for that reason alone, they are more likely to listen.
I’m already investing resources into inbound marketing, why do I need outbound?
Inbound is a long-term game and a necessary component to the foundation of your marketing strategy. But if you need to generate sales now, you have to have some outbound activity to drive monthly or quarterly performance initiatives.
If you don’t do outbound you’re at the whim of Google, your inbound initiative campaigns, and the buyer’s journey in a variable market. So, you need to go after the market in as many ways possible in order to optimize your lead-to-customer conversion rates.
Customer acquisition is about reaching people where they live and providing them value. It’s about getting in front of them instead of waiting for them to be ready to buy. Outbound allows us to do just that.
