Prospect proposal

Have you ever found it challenging to provide budget recommendations for potential clients? Backpack's Prospect Proposal tool streamlines the process by generating "good," "better," and "best" budget recommendations within seconds. You won't need to invest hours in research on local competitors, geography, and other data to support your recommendations. All you need is the prospect's business name, address, and desired advertising radius.

Important: To use this tool, you must have accounts in Blueprints in a similar vertical, as our platform combines Blueprint data and local search volume for recommendations.

How it workS

We assess campaigns conducted over the past three months that are similar to what your prospect intends to run. By examining nationwide peers and those within your prospect's DMA, we determine a set of performance data based on the "per person targeted" metric. We combine the population within the specified geographic radius with per-person statistics from the DMA to create good, better, and best budget recommendations.

Good: Your budget will align just below the averages.
Better: Your budget will slightly surpass the averages.
Best: Your budget should place you in the top 10% in your market.
