So you are the CEO of an inbound marketing agency. Congratulations and welcome to the cool kids club. We know what great work you can do with inbound and we also know how much energy and effort goes into every task that we complete. To help make your life easier, here are 5 different tools that you need.
Project Management System
Inbound marketing agencies focus on a holistic approach that includes many different moving pieces and parts. Having a project management system keeps the moving pieces in check so your agency can act like a well-oiled machine while keeping your sanity. Some examples include Basecamp, DoInbound, and Harvest.

Automation
When your inbound marketing agency is managing, creating and analyzing content, social postings, landing pages and more, having an automation software is crucial to having success. Some examples include HubSpot (our favorite), Infusionsoft and SharpSpring. To compare different marketing automation softwares, click here.
SEO Research and Management Software
Search engine optimization is here to stay and the sooner that you jump on board with educating your agency to become experts the better. Businesses want Google to find them and they are willing to hire you to make that happen. To keep strategy at its best, using a research and management software for keywording is important. Some examples include Ubersuggest, Google Adwords Keyword Planner, and SEMrush. To take a look at different SEO softwares, click here.
