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

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.

3 Things You Should Know About Implementing SEO Into Your Digital Strategy

3 Things You Should Know About Implementing SEO Into Your Digital StrategyIf you own a business and know the importance of digital marketing, you probably already heard of SEO. It is a common expectation these days that Search Engine Optimization (SEO), if implemented right, will undoubtedly drive sales to your business.

Well, as digital marketers dealing with SEO tactics in daily basis, we’re here to tell you why that’s not always the case. Since SEO is one of the single most misunderstood elements of a maintaining a good website, in today’s post, we’d like to share a few fantastic industry insights from Sam Von Tobel, the author of 3 Common, Yet Unrealistic SEO Expectations article written for roundpeg.biz.

 

3 Things You Should Know About Implementing SEO

 

1. You will find much more success targeting less frequently used, niche keywords.

“Finding your way to the top of page one is a lofty goal that takes lots of time and effort. You give yourself a much better chance of rising through the ranks if you commit to generating relevant and high-quality content and have the patience to let your website grow.” Read more here.

2. If increasing sales is truly your goal, your focus shouldn’t be on SEO.

“With the misconception of SEO creating visibility also comes the assumption that visibility equals sales. More people are coming to your website, so that means they are going to buy from you, right?Wrong. Your landing pages not only need to be attractive, the content needs to be fresh and engaging and needs to drive action, whether it’s tempting them with more information with a click of a button, a free demo or providing them with something of value like a whitepaper or download. Read more here.

3. SEO is never “done.”

“SEO algorithms are pretty intricate and sometimes hard to get a grasp on. One thing that is certain, however, is that search engines definitely give preference to new, high-quality content. Constantly adding to your website, adding more content with the keyword or keywords you prioritize is the most consistent way to keep you ahead of the SEO game. That’s just one of the many reasons we emphasize the importance of blogging.” For more tips, go here.

As you can see, implementing SEO can be wonderful for your business – IF you have the right expectations.

Is There a Future for SEO? This Marketer in DE Thinks So

Is There a Future for SEO thumb

Just as the numerous conspiracy theories have resurfaced this election season, so too has the unfounded rumors that SEO is dead.

Seriously,  these SEO death rumors have been circulating since 1997. I’m happy to say that there are not many marketers buying into this myth.

Go ahead and Google, “Is SEO dead 2016” and you will find a plethora of articles debunking the idea that SEO is dead. In fact, most of them tout that  SEO is an ever evolving and necessary strategy to work in tandem with social media marketing and other digital advertising methods, such as content creation.

While there is a whopping 4% of marketers out there that believe SEO is dead, the numbers are much bigger for its chance of survival. Actually, if ever there were a marketing sign that a SEO mandate is called for, it is now!

What businesses need to realize is that an effective digital marketing strategy is a lot of various tools, of which the main ingredient is SEO, that need to be implemented in a cohesive manner to achieve marketing harmony. A good digital marketing company knows this and will offer Adaptive SEO packages that will perform much better in the whole, than that of hap-hazard strategies implemented in a piece meal fashion.

For the last month or so, we have advocated in starting with the basics. Getting your house in order (your website, your social media properties and directory listings) is a good place to start. But ending there is not going to help you create the #LeadGeneration that will help you to grow your online presence.

Check out this infographic on why we believe Adaptive SEO will play a big part in the digital marketing arena in the near future and for many marketing light years to come!
