Digital Marketing Strategy for Sri Lankan Businesses

Sri Lankan buyers live on Google, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. A working strategy sequences those channels around one measurable goal: cost per qualified enquiry.

The sequence

1. Foundation: a fast website with conversion tracking — otherwise every channel flies blind.
2. Search: capture existing demand with Google Search ads and local SEO. Highest intent, start here.
3. Social: Meta campaigns for awareness and retargeting; creative in Sinhala/Tamil/English per audience.
4. WhatsApp: the closing channel — route every lead to WhatsApp for near-instant human follow-up.

Budget rules of thumb

Start with 60% search / 30% social / 10% testing. Judge channels on cost per lead after 30 days, not likes. Kill anything above 2× your target CPL and reinvest.

Report monthly, optimise weekly

One page: spend, leads, CPL, revenue by channel. Decisions follow the numbers. Webnet manages campaigns on exactly this cadence.
