Comprehensive Restructuring Initiative For Digital Marketing
TO: Digital Media Marketing & Technical Team
FROM: Gustan Cho Associates
Subject: Strategic Restructuring of Organic Lead Generation Across All Digital Media Marketing Platforms
DATE: May 6, 2025
Dear Team Members,
I am writing to develop a plan to restructure how organic leads are generated in Gustan Cho Associates’ properties. This initiative aims to get maximum unique visitors, enhance conversion rates, and have an integrated digital approach with all our assets properly harnessed.
Current Challenges
We’ve had talks recently that have revealed the following:
- Compared to their colleagues, our technical specialists lack knowledge about the main digital marketing metrics and flows.
- Instead of a unified ecosystem, our websites and social platforms operate in silos.
- There is no common language or reporting structure across teams.
- Our way of generating leads does not exploit the full potential of our vast digital portfolio.
Unified Terminology & Metrics
Let’s ensure we are on the same page when it comes to key metrics driving our strategy:
- Daily Unique Visitors: How many individual users visited sites within one day (StatCounter),
- Impressions: Total times our content appeared for views.
- Conversion Rate: Share of visitors who perform desired actions (submit a form, call, etc.).
- Bounce Rate: The percentage of visitors who leave after viewing only one page.
- Engagement Rate: Level of interaction with our content (comments, shares, time on page).
- Attribution: To filter qualified leads based on where they come from.
Restructuring Framework
Cross-Platform Content Strategy
Each property we own has its target demographic; however, it should be integrated into an overall system.
Gustancho.com – The main audience is general mortgage seekers.
- The core content focus should be educational content and company information.
- Lead capture priority is medium.
gcaforums.com:
- Community engagement and Q&A participants form the primary audience.
- Discussion threads and news updates should be the focus of core content.
- Lead capture is a high priority.
gcamortgage.com:
- The primary audience is direct mortgage applicants.
- Core content should concentrate on product information and application process details.
- Lead capture is the highest priority.
non-qmmortgagelenders.com:
- Its main target audience is non-traditional borrowers, and its core is specialized lending options.
- Lead capture is a high priority.
fhabadcreditlenders.com:
- FHA-focused customers form the primary audience here, and their desire for FHA program details and eligibility information is their core aspect.
- Lead capture priority is high.
preferredmortgagerates.com:
- Rate-sensitive shoppers are preferredmortgagerates.com’s main consumers who want rate comparisons and market analysis to make up most of its content.
- Lead capture priority is medium.
Mortgage Lenders for Bad Credit (https://www.mortgagelendersforbadcredit.com):
- The site’s readership consists mainly of credit-challenged borrowers, and its mainstays are credit improvement resources and specialized products.
- Lead capture is a high priority.
Lending Network, LLC (https://www.lendingnetwork.org):
- It targets partner networks and referrals to whom industry news and partner resources ought to be the nucleus of the site’s content.
- On average, lead capturing has a second-level scale of preference among such setups.
Technical Infrastructure Improvements
Implement unified analytics across all properties with standardized tracking parameters.
- Develop cross-domain user journey mapping to understand multi-touch attribution.
- Create a centralized lead management database integrating all properties.
- Implement consistent UX/UI elements across all platforms while maintaining brand differentiation.
- Optimize page load speeds and mobile responsiveness on all properties.
Social Media Integration Strategy
Each property should have dedicated social channels with cross-promotional capabilities:
Facebook:
- The primary content type should be community building, success stories, and live Q&A.
- The cross-promotion strategy should include sharing website articles and forum discussion highlights.
Twitter:
- The primary content type should be industry news, rate updates, and quick tips.
- The cross-promotion strategy should include links to in-depth articles and forum discussions.
Instagram:
- The primary content type should be visual content, team highlights, and client testimonials.
- The cross-promotion strategy should include stories featuring website resources.
TikTok:
- The primary content type should be short educational videos, mortgage myths, and quick tips.
- The cross-promotion strategy should drive users to specialized landing pages.
LinkedIn:
- The primary content type should comprise industry analysis, company news, and professional resources.
- The cross-promotion strategy must focus on B2B networking and referral partner engagement.
YouTube:
- The main content forms should be tutorials, market analysis, and Q&A sessions.
Cross-promotion:
- The strategy should entail embedding across sites and repurposing for other platforms.
Rumble:
- The primary content type should be alternative content distribution and unfiltered discussions. The cross-promotion strategy should include cross-promoting with YouTube and embedding in forums.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONTENT ECOSYSTEM
Create a flow of content across platforms to the strategic funnel:
Awareness Stage:
- Short-form social content (TikTok, Instagram, Twitter).
Consideration Stage:
- Medium-form content (YouTube, forum discussions, blog posts)
Decision Stage:
- Detailed guides on specialized websites, application resources
OPTIMIZATION OF LEAD CAPTURE
- Build comprehensive user profiles by employing progressive profiling across properties.
- Develop specific lead magnets for each segment of the audience.
- Create automated nurture sequences that are tailored to certain user paths.
- Implement AI-powered chatbots for instant engagement throughout sites.
IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE

Schema markup is important for SEO not because it directly impacts your rankings in search results. But because of its other benefits. First, schema markup helps search engines understand the context and content of your pages more effectively.

Classified ads can be a valuable marketing tool for small business owners, offering several distinct benefits:
Benefits of Classified Ads for Small Business Owners:
-
Cost-Effective Advertising:
- Classified ads are usually more affordable than other forms of advertising, allowing small business owners to market their products or services even with limited budgets.
-
Targeted Reach:
- These ads are categorized into specific sections based on the industry or interest. This categorization helps businesses reach potential customers specifically interested in their niche.
-
Local Market Focus:
- Local classified ads (in newspapers or regional online directories) enable small businesses to reach their immediate community, building a customer base close to home.
-
Quick Results:
- Because classified ads are generally concise and easy to read, they can deliver quick responses, making them suitable for promoting events, seasonal sales, or immediate job openings.
-
Lead Generation:
- Listings help generate high-quality leads from customers actively looking for specific products or services, increasing the chance of conversion.
-
Flexibility:
- Small businesses can run classified ads for varying durations, from short-term campaigns to long-term listings, based on the nature of their offer.
- They can also easily modify or update ads to match changing promotions or inventory.
-
Simplicity in Creation:
- The straightforward format makes it easy for small business owners to craft concise yet effective ads without requiring specialized marketing knowledge.
-
Brand Awareness:
- Regular listings contribute to brand recognition within the community, enhancing the small business’s reputation and encouraging potential customers to explore their services.
-
Link to Online Presence:
- In online classified listings, businesses can include links to their websites or social media pages, providing customers with additional information and driving traffic.
-
Job Listings:
- For small businesses looking to hire, classified ads can be a low-cost method to attract local talent.
By combining affordability, targeted reach, and a straightforward format, classified ads offer small businesses a practical and efficient way to promote their offerings and strengthen their presence in the market.

Onpage SEO, also known as on-site SEO, refers to the optimization of a website’s individual web pages in order to improve its search engine ranking and visibility. This includes optimizing content, meta tags, images, internal links, and other elements on a website to make it more attractive to search engines.
To effectively implement onpage SEO, here are some important tasks that need to be done:
1. Keyword research: Identify relevant keywords that your target audience is using to search for your products or services. Use tools like Google Keyword Planner or SEMrush to find popular and relevant keywords.
2. Optimize title tags: The title tag is an HTML element that defines the title of a web page. It is displayed in search engine results as the clickable headline for a given result. Make sure to include your target keyword in the title tag and keep it under 60 characters.
3. Optimize meta descriptions: Meta descriptions are short snippets that appear below the title tag in search engine results. They provide a brief description of the content on the page and can influence a user’s decision to click through to your website. Make sure to include your target keyword and keep it under 160 characters.
4. Optimize heading tags: Heading tags (H1, H2, H3, etc.) are used to structure content on a webpage. They not only help search engines understand the content on a page, but they also make it easier for users to read. Use your target keyword in at least one heading tag.
5. Optimize images: Images can also be optimized for SEO by using descriptive file names and alt text. Alt text is used to describe an image for visually impaired users and it also helps search engines understand the content of an image.
6. Use internal linking: Internal linking helps search engines understand the structure of your website and how pages are related to each other. It also helps distribute link equity throughout your site. Link to relevant pages within your website using descriptive anchor text.
7. Create high-quality, relevant content: Content is a crucial element of onpage SEO. Create high-quality, relevant and engaging content that incorporates your target keywords naturally. This will not only help with SEO but also keep your audience interested and engaged.
8. Improve website speed: Website speed is an important ranking factor for search engines. Optimize your website’s speed by compressing images, using caching and reducing the number of HTTP requests.
By implementing these tasks, you can improve your website’s onpage SEO and increase its visibility and ranking on search engines. It is an ongoing process, so regularly review and update your website’s onpage SEO to stay ahead of the competition.
