The Marketing Hub Model

WIDER TARGET MARKETP1P2P3P4P5P6CENTRALWEBSITE

The Familiar Problem

Your website may have all the right pages. Does it guide people anywhere?

Many business websites ask every visitor to start at the same homepage, browse the same menu, and work out for themselves which offer or action is relevant. A person who arrives from a specific post, article or recommendation may have to search for the very thing that brought them there.

The existing website still has a role. The opportunity is to make the journey into and through it more relevant.

Introduce The Model

A clearer way to connect your marketing

Each spoke creates a more relevant starting point. Visitors can take the intended action or, when they need more confidence, follow a route to useful information in the central website. Follow-up can then continue providing value and guide them towards an appropriate next step.

The Hub & Spoke Marketing Model

The Rim — The Target Market

The wider target market and the distinct groups or decision-makers within it.

The Spokes — Focused Landing Pages

Focused landing pages, each created for a particular audience, specific need, offer or purpose.

The Hub — The Central Website

The main website, where interested visitors explore your wider business story, services, evidence and resources.

One audience. One relevant page. One clear next step. One connected journey.

Practical Examples

See the model working in practice

Three real-world demonstrations of the Marketing Hub framework in action.

Example A — A Useful Guide

A social post speaks to sole traders struggling to keep on top of their bookkeeping. It leads to a focused page offering a practical guide. The page explains the guide and invites the visitor to request it. A confirmation email delivers the guide and offers a related, useful next step.

Useful Follow-up

Example B — A Service Offer

An article discusses a particular business challenge. Instead of sending every reader to the homepage, its link leads to a page about the service that addresses that challenge. The page explains who the service is for, what it involves, what the visitor can do next and where to find further reassurance.

Example C — An Event or Workshop

A campaign invites a defined audience to a workshop. The landing page continues the same message, explains what attendees will learn and makes registration straightforward. Confirmation and follow-up explain what happens next.

Leave with a clearer plan for your first connected journey

The course helps you think through the critical decisions that make a marketing journey genuinely useful—emphasising progress and clarity.

  • Who one focused journey is for
  • What situation, need or ambition matters to that audience
  • What useful offer fits their readiness
  • What the page should ask them to do
  • How people will find the page
  • What reassurance they may need
  • What happens immediately after they act
  • How to judge whether the journey is useful and where it can improve

Is It Right For You?

Who it’s for — and who it may not suit

A Good Fit For

Business owners, consultants and independent professionals who want a more purposeful website journey, are ready to focus on one audience or offer, and want a practical framework they can apply to their existing marketing.

Not A Promise Of

An instant website rebuild, a guaranteed sales result, or a technical platform tutorial. The model is about decisions and customer experience; businesses can apply it using the tools and website they already have.
