Google AdWords Marketing Strategies for Business Clients 2015

April 2, 2015 By

People Ask me about Google Business Marketing Strategies often.

I looked in the mirror and realized, I have a great life, funded by Digital Marketing.

Tell you one thing that’s true, people will follow you easily,
When You Have a Plan built on reasonable, thought-out ideas.

Inbound Marketing (excludes cold calling)

  1. Brainstorm a Strategy first about your target customer.
    • Who are they?
    • What is their mindset while they are searcing?
  2. Do some Marketing Research on industry SEO Keywords Phrases.
    1. Find the main keywords
    2. Then, build out your Targeted Keyword List

Ex: “plastic surgeons [your city]” Search in google and check the competition.

751,000 results in search engine competing for the top 3 slots.

751,000 results in search engine competing for the top 3 slots.

Every marketing campaign starts with Marketing Research. If you have the time and the budget, hire a professional to guide you through this vast ocean of information.

This example below shows 3 Important Google AdWords Metrics to Analyse:

  1. Average Monthly Searches: How many people or searches are entered into Google Search Engines per month.
    • Consider most Internet visitors convert at a rate of 2-5% and 5% is gained by informed market research
  2.  Level of Competition: Based on the total searches per month
    • How many different vendors on Google AdWords are bidding on this keyword.
  3. Suggested Bid: Google does a decent job of estimating Cost-Per-Click.
    • Best Practice is to pad your budget 20% extra since you may need to pay more than listed to be in the TOP of Google Search Pages.

Business Oceans Keyword Research on “Fitness App”

Marketing research will save you $1000s in wasted marketing dollars.

Marketing research will save you $1000s in wasted marketing dollars.

First, notice that you may lump ‘Fitness’, ‘Workout’ and ‘Training’ into the same bucket, funnel or vertical. This would be a big miss.

Look closer….’Training App’ keywords cost the most. SEE Red and Strikethrough terms above.

You could get twice as manys clicks by focusing the marketing campaign strategy on ‘fitness app’ and ‘workout app’ keyword phrases and writing content that refers to those terms.

“best training apps” is $5.30 per click x 300 clicks = $1,590 In Click-Spend

Compare to….

“workout app” which is a mid-cost at $0.95 per click x  1673 clicks = $1,590 In Click-Spend

Marketing Research and Competitor Analysis matter when creating a marketing plan for your business goals. With keyword strategy in place, we can now get 557% more clicks and increased targeted website traffic.

 

  1. Pick your 2-4 top marketing channels: google, facebook, pinterest, linkedin…
  2. Wrap your keywords in the strategy, like a Good Omelette.
  3. Build your plan out 3 months. Ding! YOU’RE IN

If you need support in creating the marketing plan for your small or medium business, we can help you build it.

New Client Online Review Tips and Reputation Management Services

September 15, 2014 By

Online Reputation Management Services | The New Frontier of Internet Marketing

People don’t trust each other, it’s in our genes to be cautious, so we look for social proof, the psychological term describing all potential customer’s need to hear or see other people share their experiences.  Then, they feel more confident to buy from you.

Why?  Because we all need to see the point of view of the customer who wrote the review, and compare it to the ongoing consistency of the type of reviews.

An example to make this point obvious.

1 Star Business Review - “I was at a birthday party. The Brazilian BBQ was awful.  The smell and the people were bumping into you all the time.  I did not like this place.”

No concern here.  What you need to know is the customer who wrote this review was a vegetarian and Brazilian BBQ is known for ample amounts of meat in a huge eat-as-much-as-you-can style of service. Not really a “Qualified Reviewer”.

So, instead of spending wasted dollars on shoving that bad review down and building all those other fake sites to fill in for your keyword and black seo hat madness….

Instead of that nonsense, hire professionals to support you and built it naturally.

Yes, build up all your Yelp reviews, Google Plus reviews, and City Search, etc., the same way…naturally.  Successful businesses treat their reputation with respect.

In this post, we will offer three reputation management tips to consider in your campaign.  We hope this has been a new perspective on your business marketing.

3 Top Helpful Reputation Management Tips

  1. Create feedback portals that keep you closer to clients experiences.  It’s far better to capture a negative review and transform it into a decent review before it even hits the pixels of the world wide web.
  2. Reputation is still based on real people experiencing service.  The online Yelp, City Search, Google, and Google Plus reviews can be honest feedback for your firm and employees to shift or improve a process.  In our minds, we think of it as gold.  See the whole and fill it.
  3.  Hire someone who speaks your native language to manage your profit-building reputation and monitor your reviews.  This will help a great deal when understanding a client’s post in context.

Your last question please.

What about bad reviews online from competitors or pissed clients?  The real answer,  give excellent service and those very few and seldom 1 and 2 star reviews with average up into the 4 and 5 star reviews.

That’s when a new customer trusts their decision to work with you.  When, they see mostly strong and positive feedback about your company.  We forgive a few mistakes.

Hope this has been a helpful start or addition to your search for online reputation management services.  The best strategy is to mix some reputation software with real people interacting with it.

How to Internet Market your Business Website?

January 27, 2014 By

The best way to internet market your business is simple, first build a website. Note that just because you’ve built the website, so have 10,000 other competing businesses in your same industry.

For example, let’s randomly do a search on “training videos“. Notice that just under the search field on Google, it shows their are “About 785,000,000 results”. That’s a lot of competition.

How do you internet market with that many websites? Good question. The simple answer is start with a good internet market plan.

Some people who are new at internet marketing usually jump into pay-per-click advertising or organic search engine optimization by either looking for the cheapest service or they do it themselves.

DIY is fine if someone has the time to research and learn about those marketing channels. It’s very difficult if someone just wants to point and click their way to the top with little effort. That’s unrealistic.

The reason I mention the 785 million competing websites is so that you can see the true nature of what the landscape is like competing for top slots on Google. Obviously, less for Regional Terms (Denver, Chicago, Los Angeles). National terms can be a healthy challenge.

Here are some basic steps to internet market:

  1. Hire a consultant to write an Internet Marketing Plan
    • It should include basic steps and explanations for each of the internet strategies.
  2. Keyword Research on the industry keywords
    • See which keywords have more people searching and less competing websites.
  3. Buy a Domain Name
  4. Hosting
  5. Build the website
  6. Write Content for the Website
  7. Install Google Analytics on Website
  8. Marketing the Website
  9. Track results and adjust marketing strategies.

Whether you are marketing a website with organic seo, landing page optimization, pay-per-click advertising or video marketing, you must know the keyword landscape for your target audience of customers. Keep reading and choose the best plan to get started.
