When you’re trying to grow your business, you know you need sales — but for most business owners, running sales yourself only gets you so far.
If you ask 10 marketers, you’ll get 10 different ideas on how to grow your business. Some of them might even be good ideas! But a collection of good ideas still isn’t a growth plan.
If you spend all your marketing energy sending great emails but have a list that isn’t growing, you will struggle to see the results you seek. Balancing your marketing resources — whether time, money, or energy — is key to building your sustainable growth.
Most small businesses are missing out on the most important driver of marketing success: a system that guides and supports your growth.
The Margo Method is a simple, structured, 5-step framework that helps you understand your company’s unique growth journey, take action on your marketing, and drive business growth.

The 5 Stages of the Margo Marketing Method (M3)
The Margo Marketing Method is built around five key stages: Foundations, Reach, Engage, Convert, and Delight. Each stage ensures you’re investing in the right marketing efforts at the right time — so you eliminate guesswork and maximize your results.
1. Foundations: Set the Stage for Success
Before you invest in marketing, you need a strong foundation. This means having a clear brand identity, well-defined messaging, and a deep understanding of your ideal customer. Without these elements, even the best marketing tactics will fall flat.
In this stage, we help you:
- Define your unique value proposition (UVP)
- Identify your target audience and key customer segments
- Establish a consistent brand voice and visual identity
- Set up the right analytics and tracking tools to measure success
2. Reach: Attract the Right Audience
Once your foundation is in place, the next step is getting in front of the right people. This stage focuses on awareness and visibility, ensuring that potential customers discover your business. Key tactics in this stage include:
- Content marketing (blogs, videos, podcasts)
- Social media marketing
- SEO (search engine optimization)
- Paid advertising (Google Ads, Facebook Ads, etc.)
- Partnerships and collaborations
3. Engage: Build Relationships and Trust
Attracting attention is just the beginning—now you need to nurture those leads. The Engage stage is all about building relationships, providing value, and keeping your audience interested. Strategies here include:
- Email marketing and lead nurturing
- Webinars and live Q&A sessions
- Community-building through social media and online groups
- Retargeting ads to keep your brand top-of-mind
4. Convert: Turn Leads into Customers
Engagement is great, but it doesn’t pay the bills. The Convert stage is about moving prospects from interest to action—whether that’s making a purchase, booking a call, or signing up for a service. This stage focuses on:
- Optimizing your website and landing pages for conversions
- Crafting compelling offers and incentives
- Refining your sales process and follow-up strategy
- Using testimonials, case studies, and social proof to build trust
5. Delight: Keep Customers Happy and Drive Referrals
Marketing doesn’t stop after a sale. The best businesses turn customers into loyal advocates who buy more and refer others. The Delight stage focuses on customer retention and word-of-mouth growth through:
- Exceptional onboarding and customer support
- Loyalty programs and referral incentives
- Personalized follow-ups and ongoing engagement
- Gathering and showcasing customer testimonials and reviews
Why the M3 Works
Unlike other marketing approaches focusing on shotgun tactics, the Margo Marketing Method provides a repeatable system for sustainable growth. Following these five stages ensures that every marketing dollar you spend is aligned with your business goals.
