If your message isn’t landing—and the right clients aren’t showing up—it’s not your fault. Most service business owners are great at what they do. They just struggle to talk about it clearly.
In this video, I’ll walk you through how we fix that using the StoryBrand Framework, plus how to get started with either DIY or done-for-you options.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR MESSAGE ISN’T CLEAR
Can your mom explain what you do?
Can you easily explain what you do?
Can anyone?
If not, that's the problem we fix.
Because when people don’t understand what you do, they move on. You end up working harder just to stay in the game.
You’re always re-explaining yourself
Your website doesn’t convert visitors into clients
Your leads aren’t the right fit
Referrals become scarce
Marketing is frustrating as all hell
But it doesn’t have to be this way. A clear message makes all of that easier. It’s the difference between chasing leads—and attracting the right ones.
You might not believe it yet, but marketing can actually be the opposite of frustrating when you're doing it right.

Whether you want to learn the system or hand it over completely, the goal is the same: clear messaging that brings in better clients with less effort.

FIXING YOUR MARKETING SHOULDN’T FEEL IMPOSSIBLE
Most small business owners aren’t marketers—they just want to explain what they do in a way that makes people care.
But when the message isn’t clear, everything else gets harder: websites don’t convert, leads go cold, and social posts fall flat.
You might worry that getting it right will take too much time, cost too much money, or feel like just another online course you’ll never finish.
That’s why I offer three simple paths: do-it-together support through the StoryBrand Course, 1:1 and team coaching, or done-for-you services where I build your full funnel myself.
You’ll get clear messaging, practical templates, and real support—so your marketing finally works and your business actually grows.
YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
We know marketing can feel overwhelming, and you probably have questions. That’s why we’ve put together answers to the things people ask us most.
What makes Strategic Marketing Tribe different from other StoryBrand marketing agencies?
We’re the StoryBrand marketing agency that skips the boring "corporate speak." We blend the power of StoryBrand with strategic marketing solutions to craft content that feels human, genuine, and impossible to ignore.
How can your strategic marketing solutions benefit my business?
Our strategic marketing solutions simplify your message, clarify your brand story, and help you connect with your ideal customers. It’s marketing that makes sense and gets results – no jargon, no gimmicks, just growth.
What is StoryBrand, and why does it matter?
Think of StoryBrand as a cheat sheet for marketing clarity. It helps you explain what you do in a way that makes people stop, listen, and say, “Oh, I get it.” We use it to create marketing that feels human and that your audience will actually enjoy reading.
Do I need to be familiar with StoryBrand to work with you?
Not at all! Whether you’re a StoryBrand superfan (like us!) or have no idea what it is, we’ll walk you through everything. We’re here to make the process simple, clear, and (dare we say) fun.
How do I know if this is right for my business?
If people keep saying “I don’t really get what you do,” or you’re getting the wrong kind of leads, it’s a sign your message needs work. That’s what we fix.
What if I don’t have time to take a course?
The course is built for time-strapped business owners. You get short lessons, plug-and-play templates, and live support so you’re never stuck or overwhelmed.
What’s the difference between the course and the done-for-you service?
The course gives you training, tools, and weekly support so you can do it yourself. The done-for-you option means I build your whole funnel for you.
How long does it take to see results?
Most people see clearer messaging and better engagement within a week of applying the one-liner. Bigger results (like leads and conversions) follow as you apply it across your marketing.
What if I’ve already tried StoryBrand and it didn’t work?
Many people try to apply StoryBrand on their own and miss key parts. This course walks you through it step-by-step, with real examples and live feedback from a Certified Guide.

Content Marketing Boosts Revenue More Than Ads
By Vicky Sidler | Published 16 November 2025 at 12:00 GMT+2
If your content strategy hasn’t changed since 2020, you’re not just behind. You’re probably bleeding money.
While you're funnelling cash into ads that disappear the moment your card declines, your competitors are stacking revenue with blog posts, email newsletters, and guides that continue working long after they're published.
And it’s not just a theory. The numbers are in, and they’re hard to ignore.
TL;DR:
Content marketing delivers 3:1 ROI on average
Generates 3x more leads than traditional ads at 62% less cost
SEO content brings higher-quality traffic and conversions
Reduces CAC while increasing retention and customer lifetime value
Builds momentum over time. Ads don’t

Why Content Is an Investment, Not an Expense:
It’s easy to think of content as something nice to have. A bonus. A time-filler.
But done right, content becomes your most reliable source of leads, conversions, and long-term revenue.
B2B content marketing averages a 3:1 return. That’s a 67% better performance than paid ads, and unlike ads, content doesn’t stop working when the budget runs out. One article can bring in traffic for months—even years—if it's well-written and well-optimised.
For small business owners trying to compete with deep-pocketed rivals, this kind of efficiency is gold.
Trust Builds Revenue. Content Builds Trust.
People don’t buy just because you’re available. They buy when they feel confident you’ll solve their problem.
That confidence doesn’t come from cold calls or slick banners. It comes from useful content that actually helps.
When you regularly publish helpful blog posts, guides, or FAQs, you become the trusted source. You’re not chasing customers. You’re showing up when they need you—and that’s when sales happen.
SEO Content Does the Heavy Lifting:
Content works best when it’s discoverable. This is where SEO steps in.
Optimised content helps your business show up when someone searches for the exact problem you solve. And this kind of inbound traffic? It’s not just warmer. It’s already halfway sold.
Blog content, in particular, dominates Google search results. Businesses with blogs earn nearly double the backlinks and drive more qualified traffic than those without.
That means more people land on your site, and more of the right ones stick around.
Nurture Without Nagging:
Content doesn’t just attract. It guides.
Your prospects aren’t all ready to buy. Some are just browsing. Others are comparing. A few are on the verge.
When you offer the right content at the right time—whether it's a beginner guide, a product comparison, or a testimonial—you’re gently nudging them forward. No pressure. No hard sell. Just value at every step.
By the time they reach out, they’re informed, interested, and ready to talk.
Why CPA Drops and LTV Rises:
Here’s the math. Paid ads might cost you $200 per customer. But with content, that cost can drop to $75.
And once someone buys, content keeps working. A helpful onboarding email, a video tutorial, or a community forum can turn a one-time buyer into a long-term client.
The more value your customers get after the sale, the more likely they are to stay—and spend.
Content isn't just attracting leads. It's increasing what each lead is worth over time.
How to Know If It’s Working:
You can’t manage what you don’t measure.
Track what matters:
Traffic and time on site
Downloads, signups, and conversion rates
Cost per lead
Revenue tied to content
Tools like GA4 show which content leads to action. You’ll see where your money’s going—and where it’s coming back.
What a Practical Content Plan Looks Like:
You don’t need to post daily. You just need to start with purpose.
Weeks 1–2: Set your current benchmarks
Month 1: Map content to the buyer journey
Months 2–3: Publish weekly and promote it
Months 4–6: Double down on what works
Quarter 2 and beyond: Scale, systematise, and keep measuring
No fluff. Just results that grow over time.
What to Do Next:
Smart businesses don’t just post content for visibility. They use it to drive measurable results.
That starts with knowing exactly what your message is.

Frequently Asked Questions About Content Marketing ROI
1. How does content marketing actually make money?
Content builds trust, attracts qualified leads, and nurtures buyers through their decision process. Over time, this leads to more conversions with lower costs than traditional ads.
2. Is content really cheaper than ads in the long run?
Yes. Content marketing costs 62% less than traditional marketing and generates 3 times more leads per dollar. Plus, it keeps working after you stop paying for it.
3. How long does it take to see results from content marketing?
Most businesses start seeing traction within 3 to 6 months. But the biggest gains show up after 12 to 24 months, when your content library starts compounding.
4. What types of content bring in the most leads?
Educational blog posts, how-to guides, comparison pages, and lead magnets like ebooks or checklists are some of the best performers—especially when optimised for search.
5. Do I need to write all the content myself?
No. You can outsource writing, hire a content team, or work with a strategist to plan it all. The key is consistency and quality, not doing it all solo.
6. How do I measure content marketing ROI?
Use the formula:
(Revenue from content - Cost of content) / Cost of content × 100
Track metrics like traffic, leads, conversion rates, CAC, and customer lifetime value.
7. What tools help with content tracking and attribution?
Google Analytics 4 is a great start. You can also use tools like HubSpot, SEMrush, or StoryChief to track performance and connect content to revenue.
8. Is content marketing worth it for small businesses with tight budgets?
Absolutely. Because content works over time and doesn’t need ongoing ad spend, it’s one of the most cost-effective ways for small businesses to grow sustainably.
