## Phase 1: Website Integration

Promote Ordio Loop across key website touchpoints to capture existing traffic and product interest. Add partner program CTAs to homepage hero section, benefits section, and relevant product pages. Top banner strategy drives awareness with benefit-focused copy options to test.

**Key Changes:**

## Phase 2: Social Media Strategy

### LinkedIn (Primary Channel)

LinkedIn generates 80% of B2B social leads and delivers higher ROI than other channels, making it the primary focus. Content strategy includes weekly educational posts, program benefits highlights, and industry insights. Three ad campaigns target awareness, consideration, and conversion with progressive targeting from broad to retargeting audiences.

### Meta (Facebook/Instagram)

Secondary channel for broader reach using lookalike audiences from LinkedIn converters. Focus on awareness and retargeting with Stories, Posts, and Reels content.

### TikTok

Experimental channel focusing on educational content rather than direct promotion. Lower conversion expected, primary goal is awareness.

### Google Ads

Search intent targeting through three campaign types:
- Branded program terms (high intent, high conversion)
- Competitor program terms (capture research traffic)
- Generic affiliate terms (broader reach)

All campaigns emphasize monthly commission structure and earnings potential.

**Detailed templates and campaign structures:** See social-media-templates.md

## Phase 3: Blog Content Strategy

Content strategy built around four pillars: affiliate program education, program benefits and potential, industry insights, and comparison content. Monthly publishing schedule rotates between educational posts, program benefits, comparisons, and updates. All content optimized for target keywords and includes internal linking to partner page.

**Content Pillars:**
- Affiliate program education (how partner programs work)
- Program benefits and potential (earnings, level progression)
- Industry insights (HR trends, partner program growth)
- Comparison content (Ordio Loop vs competitors, monthly vs one-time commissions)
