90-day online marketing plan
Clearpath Coaching
Clearpath Coaching will book more discovery calls by showing clearly who it helps and how coaching works, on its website, on LinkedIn and on Google, and by making that first call easy to arrange.
More calls and enquiries · Under 100 US dollars a month
Your three priorities
Give each kind of coaching its own page that answers what people search for, explains how sessions run and ends with a button to book a discovery call.
Become a familiar, trusted voice on LinkedIn for managers, founders and people changing career, through regular posts and thoughtful comments rather than adverts.
Build referrals from past clients, HR contacts and professionals such as accountants and recruiters, who often meet people at turning points.

Your channels, in order
Website and Google search Medium effort · Low cost
People looking for a coach read carefully before they get in touch, so pages that explain each kind of coaching win the call.
- Write a page each for career, business, leadership and life coaching, built around a search people really make, such as career change coach.
- Add an about page with your training, your style and a recent photo, since clients choose the person.
- Put a link to book a discovery call on every page.
LinkedIn High effort · Free
Managers, founders and HR buyers spend working time there, and coaches are judged by what they write.
- Post twice a week with a short story, question or lesson from coaching work, with every client detail removed.
- Comment thoughtfully on posts by people in the fields your clients work in.
Google Business Profile Low effort · Free
People searching career coach near me or life coach near me see the map listings and their reviews before anything else.
- Set up the profile with coaching categories, your services and whether you meet in person, online or both.
- Ask past clients for reviews and let them use only a first name or initial if they prefer.
Referral partners Medium effort · Free
Accountants, recruiters and HR consultants meet people at turning points and like having a coach to recommend.
- List professionals who serve the same clients as you and offer each a short call to explain what you do.
- Give each one a single-page summary of who you help and when to refer.
- Thank every referral, whether or not it leads to a booking.
Email newsletter Low effort · Low cost
Many people take a long time to decide on coaching, and a monthly email keeps you in mind until they are ready.
- Offer a short guide on your website, such as questions to ask before changing career, in return for an email address.
- Send one useful email a month with a reflection, a question to consider and a link to book a call.
Talks and workshops Medium effort · Low cost
A talk for a local business group or professional network lets people experience your style before they book.
- Offer a short talk on a topic such as handling a career change or delegating as a new manager.
- Bring a sign-up sheet for your newsletter and mention the discovery call at the end.
What your website needs
- A home page that names the people you coach and the goals you help with before anything else, with a discovery call button.
- A career change coach page for people weighing up a new direction, with a career coach near me section on where you meet.
- A business coach for small business page on decisions, priorities and growing a team.
- A leadership coaching for managers page, with a section for employers booking executive coaching for staff.
- A life coach near me page saying where you meet in person and how online sessions work.
- An about page with your training, memberships, supervision and coaching style.
- A group coaching page with the theme of the next programme, how the group meets and how to join.
