How Dedicated Landing Page Can Increase Conversion Rates? We Have the Answer.

by Leave a Comment

Dedicated Landing Page get leads

Did you know creating a dedicated landing page for your advertising campaigns can lead to higher conversion rates? Website conversion centered on improving your current marketing materials and catering to your current clientele can really pay off. 

If you’re here to find the answer on how to turn site visitors into paying customers, you came to the right place.  Here’s how to create a dedicated landing page for a successful campaign. 

The Anatomy of a Landing Page That Converts 

  • Cater to a specific goal and audience – Since each marketing campaign is different, your dedicated landing page should be too.  
  • Have a single CTA – A clear call to action button can increase conversions by 62%! A well-designed landing page is much more likely to convert visitors into leads when there is one CTA (call-to-action) and less clutter. 
  • Keep it simple – Confusion does not equal conversion. Potential customers will more likely leave the landing page before finalizing the deal if the page seems confusing or complicated. 
  • Include video content – People are reading less and watching video more. By adding some short explainer videos to your landing pages, you stand to have a higher success rate. 
  • Run A/B Testing – Measuring is an extremely important part of the process. Measure and test multiple landing pages for the same goal against each other – and then use the one that gets the best results! 
     

Having the ability to focus visitor’s attention on the end goal and removing all distractions is every marketer’s dream. That’s why understanding the basic best landing page practices is so important!

5 Ways to Master Voice Search Optimization in 2019

5 Ways to Master Voice Search Optimization in 2019

Voice search has been making strides in the recent years and we’re not surprised. After all, it is a more convenient way for customers to find what they’re looking for online. Not to mention, it’s way quicker to ask your phone for an answer than it is to type it out. The more important question now is: have you incorporated voice search optimization into your SEO strategy yet? 

If the answer is no, don’t wait any longer. According to ComScore, by 2020 50% of all queries are expected to be voice searches. More interestingly, 30% of searches will take place without a screen.  

As a business owner or marketer, you probably wonder now what are the best ways to master voice search optimization this year? We have the answer. 

5 Ways to Master Voice Search Optimization in 2019 

  1. Focus on Question Phrases – Surely, voice queries contain conversational words and are longer but that doesn’t mean you need to use long-tail keywords in your content. Instead, think how your audience speaks about your business, products, and services to come up with the best keyword strategy. 
  2. Answer the Public – Not sure what questions people are asking regarding your industry? Answer the Public is a great resource to use when working on your copy. Just make sure you’re including the question and the answer in your blog posts or company listings. 
  3. Claim your Google My Business Listing – If you’re trying to target local customers, you need to make sure they can find you first. For example, when someone uses voice search to find an “ad agency in Delaware”, hopefully your business will come up thanks to the keyword strategy you have in place. However, if a potential customer wants to find ”ad agency near me”, this is where your claimed Google My Business listing can help. Make sure your business is up to date with correct address, contact info, open hours and website link to get the most out of local SEO benefits. 
  4. Be Mobile-Friendly – Let’s be honest, attention spans are only getting shorter these days. Time to make sure your website is up to speed! Being mobile-friendly also includes easy navigation and clear web design. To check how your website is performing on mobile devices, you can use Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test Tool. 
  5. Focus on Featured Snippets – You know those highlighted points on top of your search page? This is where you should aim to appear! This so-called “position zero” is a prime real estate for voice search. While there’s no definite answer on how to get there, you can certainly help it with your conversational tone and relevance of copy. This is why it’s so important to know what people are looking for! Remember to utilize Answer the Public platform when creating your content or working on your Google listing bio.

Does Your Business Need to Invest in Competitive Analysis? Here’s the answer.

by

competitive analysis

Imagine this. It’s a new year and you are a small business owner. You are committed to taking your business to the next level and trying new marketing tools to achieve your goals. However, you are unsure of how much you should be spending. Should you run the risk of spending too little, causing yourself to be overpowered by your competitors with larger marketing budgets? Or what about the risk of overspending and a possibility of losing your leads to those who are quicker than you? This is where competitive analysis comes to play. 

There is no exact science to what your business should be spending on marketing/ advertising, but through a thorough competitive analysis, you’ll have a good starting point. 

COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS 

You may be wondering what exactly is a competitive analysis? In short, it is a report that is a compilation of what your competitors are doing online. Such research outlines their strengths and weaknesses, but most importantly, the opportunities and potential your business has to be successful in the digital realm. 

If you’re still wondering whether your business needs to invest in a competitive analysis in 2019, here’s another good reason. Unless your competitors employ a dark web wizard who is able to hide all of their online actions (which I guarantee they do not), they are leaving a small digital footprint from which we are able to draw and interpret data from. We are also able to compile estimated search volume and bid prices for specific keywords on major search engines. Not to mention, generate an intelligent estimate as to what your competitors are spending on a monthly basis for certain keywords. 

Are you wondering how this helps you? 

Well, with this data we are able to guide your marketing investment decision based upon what available marketing dollars you have. More simply put, we consider your available budget and suggest the route that is most beneficial for your business. This saves your business from failures such as getting caught in the middle of an unwinnable pay-per-click war with a competitor with a substantially larger marketing budget than you.   

Ready to invest in your future? 

Advertising Is Simple is proud to offer a competitive analysis from now until 1/31/18 at half the cost! For $495, we will put forth our proven and tested practices towards giving your business the competitive edge it needs to take the next step in 2019.

What New Digital Marketing Trends Should We Expect in 2019?

by

2019 digital marketing trends

Can you believe it’s almost time to say goodbye to 2018? As we close in the fourth quarter, we can’t help but reflect on this part year. There was surely a lot going on in the digital marketing world! From Google Chrome security updates, Facebook and Instagram algorithm changes to rise of new smart technology, we can’t wait to see what new digital marketing trends 2019 brings! 

Speaking of the new year, do you have your new marketing strategy in place? If you still haven’t thought of new digital marketing trends that 2019 might bring, here are our predictions: 

 

2019 digital marketing trends to watch out for: 

 

  1.  Optimize Content for Voice Search – Now is the time to brainstorm new keyword strategies that will cater to all those customers who love using the latest smart technologies (Alexa, Siri) in their search queries.
     
  2. Diversify Your Content Strategy – In the past year, digital creators and marketers focused more on long-form content (+2,000 words) to rank higher in search. However, it’s been proven that blogs or articles don’t have to be long to be considered valuable. That’s why it’s good to focus on both short and long-form pieces in the new year, so you can cater to those with shorter attention spans as well.
  3. Consider Influencer Marketing – This form of marketing/ advertising will only continue to grow in the next year. Partnering with influencers and content creators to promote your products or build brand awareness is an excellent and effective way to organically reach more valuable customers.
  4. Produce More Video Content – Video is already getting a boost in search from all voice queries, so don’t neglect it in 2019. Producing video content is a great way to liven up your marketing strategy!
  5. Invest in Chatbots – According to Forbes, research “predicts that the chatbot industry will grow significantly as enterprises are enabled to substantially reduce operating costs”. Needless to say, consider investing in this kind of a 24/7 customer service representative to take your business to the next level in 2019.

5 Tips on Protecting Your SMB from Cybercriminals

5 Tips on Protecting Your SMB from Cybercriminals

Just because you are a small to medium-sized business (SMB) does not mean you are not a target for online criminals phishing attacks.  In fact, it’s the opposite.  Being a small to medium-sized business makes you an easier target for cybercriminals.  While targeting a larger corporation may lead to more lucrative payouts, these larger corporations typically have IT departments that catch these attacks.  Typically smaller businesses do not have full-time IT help that assists them in their cybersecurity.  Cyber-attacks will mostly be initiated through email, here are 5 tips on protecting yourself from cybercriminals.

1.    Attention to Detail:

You may receive an email from what appears to be a co-worker or even superior.  This email may have some odd request like requesting an invoice or for you to send the company’s credit card information to pay a vendor.  In this situation, check the email address for any characters that are out of place.  Cybercriminals will attempt to mimic the email addresses of your co-workers to try to deceive you into releasing valuable company information.  In the event of this happening, contact to the supposed sender via telephone or in person to question their request.

 2. Download a Free Anti-Phishing Toolbar To Your Browser.

There are plenty of free Anti-Phishing browser extensions available.  Some are only available for certain browsers, causing you to have to download multiple extensions to different browsers and learning how each one works.  If you are looking for an Anti-Phishing browser extension that is compatible for Firefox, Chrome, and Safari we suggest Bitdefender Trafficlight. This extension protects from phishing attacks, filters out malware, identify trackers, and scans links.

3. Be Careful With Your Browser Updates.

While It is always important to update your browser, you must be cautious with your updates.  These updates are created to protect you from online phishing and malware, and phishing predators are fully aware of these.  You may receive a notification telling you it’s time to update your browser or a new version of your browser is available for download.  Do not blindly trust these and automatically download them.  Simply take the time and perform a simple internet search to see if it is, in fact, a true browser update.  If it is not, I can almost guarantee you are downloading a nasty malware onto your computer.

4. Frequently Back up Your Data!

In a world with cybercriminals attacking small businesses with ransomware, backing up your data has never been more important.  A ransomware attack encrypts your hard drive, locking you out of your computer and work files.  The cybercriminal will then ransom access to your files in the form of a crypto currency like Bitcoin.  If you have backed up your data to a remote hard drive this attacks will leave you unaffected.  Simply back up the existing backup files and wipe your primary hard drive clean.

5. Question Authority.

Cybercriminals may attempt to target you by posing as an authoritative figure in the digital world.  This could be them pretending to be Google or Microsoft telling you an update is available for your Gmail or Outlook account.  Much like browser updates, do your due diligence to conclude the authenticity of the requests.
