Pull Marketing

Marketing built around buyers seeking you out, not the reverse.

What it is

SEO, content, brand, community. Buyer comes to you ready or ready-ish. Distinct from push (ads, outbound, cold).

Common mistake

Treating pull as cheaper than push. Pull is cheaper per acquisition long-term + slower + heavier upfront investment.

Healthy pattern

Healthy mix: 60-70% pull for mature categories, 30-50% pull for early-stage. Pure push is fragile; pure pull is slow.

How LoopWorker reads it

Sprint reads category pull-to-push ratio. Some categories run on push (most ad-buying), some on pull (most content). Reveals which game you're in.
