Master everyday SEO to help prospects find you

People turn to search engines when they want to find something. In fact, that’s the #1 way local businesses get noticed today. If you’re not showing up on the maps and organic listings you are at a huge disadvantage. SEO isn’t that complicated, but it must be done in a strategic manner, integrated with your content and website structure.

To help you create an everyday SEO plan we’ll:

  • Create a website structure built for Google
  • Optimize all of your current pages
  • Get your Google My Business page producing results
  • Make sure that your data is correct and complete across directories
  • Acquire links back to your content from related websites

Let your customers talk about how great you are with reviews

From the beginning of time, people have asked their friends for the names of businesses that can help them solve a problem. A good review from a friend went a long way. Today, we turn to review sites like Google and Yelp to find business and rely on the review, good and bad, from strangers to provide information and proof that a business is one we can trust.

To help you maximize reviews we’ll:

  • Make sure that your profiles on reviews sites are optimized
  • Create a funnel for reviews that makes it easy for fans to share
  • Create a process that allows you to get reviews with every new customer
  • Find ways to highlight your great reviews on your website.

Use social media to create awareness and build trust

Social media platforms offer many new ways to create awareness for your business, but they can also be a distraction if you don’t have a plan to use them strategically. Millions turn to social media sites every day so tapping this behavior is key.

To help you get the most from your social media we’ll:

  • Tune up your profiles on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram
  • Create a plan to focus the right message on the right plan
  • Teach you how to capture those personal brand moments that create engagement
  • Integrate your content, sharing, and paid social efforts

Capture leads ready to buy now with online advertising

Pay-per-click advertising or paid search as it is called today offers some tremendous benefits. It’s also a place where you can potentially waste a great deal of money. That’s why it’s so important that you work with a marketing professional who understands how to implement effective Google Ads campaigns that are aligned with your overall strategy.

To help you get the most from your PPC efforts we’ll:

  • Develop a list of high purchase intent keywords for your campaigns
  • Create targeted audiences based on your ideal customer
  • Build campaign-specific landing pages for high conversion
  • Create ads and campaigns focused on generating business

Access real-time reporting to see what’s working and what’s not

The rise of digital marketing gives us more ways to collect and track data than ever. We can now know what the exact return on just about any campaign is, but we can also get flooded with useless data. The key is to establish a handful of useful metrics and use them to help inform marketing decisions.

To help you get the most from your overall marketing efforts we’ll:

  • Help you construct a Lifetime Customer Value metric
  • Develop conversion goals around your marketing campaigns
  • Create a reporting dashboard so you can monitor the progress of your marketing
  • Install tracking tools that allow you to see where your best leads come from

The real beauty of a proven marketing system is that it can expand and mature just as your business expands and matures.
