Payroll & HR Marketing Case Study

The Payroll Company (TPC), a full-service HR and payroll partner based in Missouri, turned to fuze32 when trade shows and face-to-face networking stalled after the pandemic. They needed fresh ways to reach decision-makers dissatisfied with their current payroll provider and convert them.
By blending inbound content, SEO, targeted display and remarketing, social media, YouTube video ads, a radio presence, and a new website, TPC earned:
28% lift in ad click-through rate, bringing more than 1,600 qualified visitors to the site
29% lower average cost-per-click
44% drop in cost-per-acquisition—nearly $75 saved per conversion
44% increase in organic traffic
1,992% surge in keyword rankings
As former CEO Greg Kollmeyer put it:
“fuze32’s responsiveness, creativity, and strategic insight helped us grow faster than we ever had before. They’re genuine people who care about your success.”

Advertising & Marketing Services For Payroll Companies
When employers hit a snag with payroll or HR compliance, they turn to Google and social media for a fast, reliable fix. Our integrated marketing approach makes sure your firm is the one they see first, trust most, and contact next.
Radio Advertising for Payroll & HR Services
Traditional radio ads in TPC’s core markets kept “payroll and HR compliance” top-of-mind for business owners during drive time and news hours, building brand familiarity long before prospects began searching for a new provider.
YouTube Video Marketing for Payroll Education
We rebuilt TPC’s YouTube channel and launched skippable pre-roll ads that explain complex topics: quarterly tax filings, wage-and-hour rules, and onboarding workflows, while driving qualified viewers from video to website in a single click.
Inbound Content & SEO for Payroll Service Keywords
Search-optimized blog posts, guides, and landing pages captured page-one rankings for phrases like “payroll services Missouri,” “outsourced HR compliance,” and “small-business payroll processing,” delivering a 44 percent lift in organic traffic.
Google Ads, Display & Remarketing for Payroll Lead Generation
Tightly segmented search campaigns around queries such as “payroll provider near me” combined with display and remarketing banners re-engaged past visitors, cutting average CPC by 29 percent and acquisition cost by nearly $75.
Facebook Social Media Marketing for Payroll Companies
Consistent posts and targeted Facebook Ads shared deadline reminders, labor-law updates, and culture tips, positioning TPC as a trusted advisor and nurturing prospects between quote requests and contract renewals.
Print & Magazine Features for Executive Credibility
Industry-specific magazine placements paired with fresh graphic design reached decision-makers who still rely on print, reinforcing TPC’s authority alongside thought-leadership articles and client success stories.
Conversion-Focused Payroll Website Design & Hosting
We rebuilt TPC’s site on secure, high-speed hosting, streamlined navigation, and added clear “Request a Quote” calls to action. Faster load times, mobile-first layouts, and persuasive copy guide visitors from first click to scheduling a demo, turning every traffic source into predictable, trackable leads.
