If you want new customers to find you, you need to be online where they are looking for you. You know this little simple truth is correct. It’s not like your customer says I want to do this, and then magically your brochure pops into their hand. It would be nice if it worked like that, but sadly it doesn’t. It doesn’t even matter if you are the best at what you do if people can’t find you. No matter what they’re looking for – they’re on their phones, tablets, and computers. If they don’t find you on those screens, they don’t know your company exists.

They’re not, they ’re just plain too busy googling and Facebooking and shopping online.

The first step when Marketing Online is just to get your name out there. The same name phone number and address exactly the same every single time. We do this because search engines are nothing more of the computer programs and we do not want the computer program to become confused. if the computer program or search engine were to become confused it doesn’t know who you are and it will not make it easy for people to find you. This first step is specifically designed to give you a solid base to stand on. We all know a foundation must be strong so we can build upon it.

While we are building our foundation let’s take a moment to look at your domain name and look at your company on social media. None of these steps is super creative or glamorous hyphen but remember you don’t build a house by simply taking out the wallpaper first. We personally prefer to lean towards organic search results first. We are proficient at adding some pay-per-click ads later on, but we like to see how much attention we can capture for free when I’m at all possible. That means building backlinks too – but only from strong credible sources.

Links are like a string of little pieces that we connect behind the scenes. Once they are all hooked up we can take the time to move to the next level.

Initially, when were connecting with potential clients we are prone to think that we need the phone more. Many times we don’t focus on who is on the other end of the phone we tend to focus more pain and we get them into a brick and mortar or can we sell my product or service. if you are utilizing your blog posts and you have your sights set up appropriately as mentioned above and you are active on social media your phone will ring with those people following me. Optimizing all of these bits and pieces online translates into real world results if you muddy the water a little bit I’m just one of these you can end up with a customers friends and family who leave bad reviews for you because of a simple misunderstanding. The opposite side of the spectrum is that they think you are a different company and you get many phone calls with people searching for unrelated items or topics.

One of the best pieces of advice that we can give you is if you had a piece of content that attracted a lot of attention repost it a few days later again. Most people over underestimate the power of this and thus lose leave money on the table because of it.

At this point, we keep doing what is working for us, with one minor adjustment we start adding on new components. Things like Email Campaigns.

The keys to the kingdom here is understanding what customers need and values.
