Marketing automation, through its ability to track every marketing interaction, can help you keep up with your prospects and then automate the correct message at the correct time, helping you to reach your consumers 24/7 with relevant content.

These features can easily give you the information you need to prove the return on your investment and take the subjectivity out of SEO.
