Let’s say Suzie searches for “marketing automation software”.

Google serves an organic listing for your site linking to your latest eBook.

Suzie clicks on the link, but then decides to go to lunch.

While she’s at lunch, browsing the NY Times on her phone, she sees a display ad for your eBook.

Suzie clicks on the ad and downloads the eBook.

Sales gives Suzie a call a few hours later, and sets up a demo appointment.

A month later Suzie buys your software!
