Marketing Review — December 2025
Overview
Monthly marketing review with AHS (Madison Asbestos / Advanced Health and Safety). Meeting covered the final push for the Dec 11–12 asbestos training, launch of a major SEO initiative, early planning for the January NARI Expo campaign, and several internal project updates. Sebastian Gant noted he is now the primary email contact at Asymmetric following a staffing change.
Date: December 2, 2025
Attendees:
- Gina Richardson — AHS (admin@madisonasbestos.com)
- Bob Stigsell — AHS (bob@madisonasbestos.com)
- Brady — AHS (brady@madisonasbestos.com)
- Paul Buniel — Asymmetric
- Sebastian Gant — Asymmetric
Key Decisions
- Email blast to go out Dec 3 targeting the existing list plus 400 newly sourced school janitor/maintenance worker contacts; Sebastian will update the previous template (strip November dates and Madison-specific references) and send without additional approval given Gina's sign-off.
- Meta ads for Dec 11–12 training will run two separate ad sets — one parent awareness ad (landing page, not sign-up form) and one school staff ad (direct sign-up form link) — ending Dec 10 at 8 AM.
- "Scary" parent ad copy approved by Gina despite acknowledged risk of causing alarm; rationale is that asbestos awareness justifies the urgency.
- 10 location pages will be added to the site and linked from the About Us page (not main nav) to avoid implying multiple offices. Janesville included despite initial hesitation — Brady's proximity makes it serviceable and it's a largely untapped market (~50–75k population).
- ~44 blog posts planned through mid-2026, organized by audience segment (homeowners, schools, commercial, professionals). Gina's Google Alerts topics (e.g., asbestos in cosmetics) to be folded into the calendar.
- NARI Expo campaign will use geo-targeted Meta ads targeting the event center and citywide, with "Visit us at Booth #405" as the CTA.
- Gina's NARI board re-election (three-year term, effective Dec 15) to be added to the January social calendar as a credibility/announcement post.

SEO & Content Initiative
Location Pages (10 pages)
Goal is to capture organic and AI-sourced local traffic from surrounding communities. Pages will be linked from the About Us page under a "Communities We Serve" section rather than the main nav.
Locations include Janesville (flagged as a large, underserved market; Brady's proximity makes it operationally viable).
- FAQs for each page being drafted; Sebastian will send for Gina's approval before publishing.
- Template to be shared with Gina for review before full rollout.
Blog Content (~44 posts)
- Organized by audience: homeowners, schools, commercial properties, professionals
- Topics sourced from internal research + Gina's Google Alerts (e.g., asbestos in cosmetics, vermiculite in older schools)
- Publishing cadence planned through mid-2026
- Goal: increase site depth to improve organic rankings and AI citation surface area
