Top 7 SEO Tips for Local Business

April 19, 2021 by Advertising

Top 7 SEO Tips for Local Business

Have you heard of SEO (Search Engine Optimization), and know that it can be beneficial for your business, but just don’t know where to start? Here is a checklist of our top 7 SEO tips to show you what areas you should focus on, what needs to be optimized, and what you need to do to fix any problems you may encounter to best position yourself for local search traffic and business.

1. Start with a comprehensive audit

When you create a complete snapshot of your current SEO efforts, along with an understanding of your competition, you’re able to curate a plan that is going to be more effective and sustainable. We recommend that you conduct regular SEO audits and maintain an organized worksheet to record and track your progress.

2. Optimize your Website & Landing Page

When it comes to organic and local search, having a properly optimized site is more important than ever before. Organic signals are now tied into the local algorithm and having a properly optimized website will help you outrank your competition. 

3. Correct Basic Location Information

Correct all discrepancies and inconsistencies in your business Name, Address, Phone number (NAP) and other related information. Also, ask questions about previous business names or previous experience with SEO or SEO penalties.

4. Seek Reviews & Reputation Management

Reviews have a direct impact on local search rankings. They can make or break a local business regardless of how well their keywords can rank. So, you’ll want to spend some time acquiring them in a manner consistent with the directory or service, such as Google, Facebook, or Yelp.  For any directory, we strongly discourage paying for reviews.

5. Analyze and Maintain “Google My Business” Page

Find the proper Google My Business (GMB) URL and record it in your Local SEO Audit Spreadsheet. Follow Google’s guidelines to assure your business NAP, category, and subcategories, and other items are represented properly on your Google My Business listing.

6. Create Organic Link Building & Avoid Penalties

You need to keep the site out of a penalty short term and long term. You need to identify any potential problems and prepare yourself to make effective business decisions. Google penalties can be brutal, and recovery is not a walk in the park.

7. Analyze your Social Profiles

Review your profiles – Facebook, Google My Business, Foursquare, Twitter, Linkedin, Youtube, Instagram, etc.- and verify they have consistent branding, NAP consistency, high-quality photos, a business description, positive reviews, effective geo-targeting, and other elements in accordance with the guidelines of the platform. It’s very important that you post regularly to these platforms for them to be useful in your SEO efforts.

At Advertising is Simple, we consistently stay up-to-date on the most effective methods of SEO, that’s why we call it Adaptive SEO. What works today, may not work a few months down the road. We monitor your advertising results through A/B testing and in-depth analytics to get you the highest rate of return on your advertising dollars.

Best Practices for Email Marketing Success

March 25, 2019 by Advertising

email marketing best practices

Do you ever feel like your email marketing efforts don’t lead to much success? Is the low open rate or no one downloading your content a regular occurrence for your sales campaigns? 

We’ve all been there. Email marketing often may feel like shooting in the dark, but what if we told you it doesn’t have to be this way?  

InsideSales.com analyzed over 18 million email marketing campaigns and today we’re going to share with you their research. We will also share useful tools to help boost your email marketing efforts in the future. 

OPEN RATES 

If you ever wonder how to optimize your emails for the best open and click-through rates, there are many tools that can help you determine best practices. Here are a few features worth checking out: 

  • Send Time Optimization for Mailchimp Users – This tool uses data science to determine when your contacts are most likely to engage, and sends it then. Keep in mind that it’s a paid feature included with all Pay As You Go, Monthly, Pro, and High Volume Plans. 
  •  SendinBlue has developed a feature that allows you to account for different variables and optimize email efficiency while avoiding long hours of research and setup. You can sing up and send up to 300 emails/day for free! 
  • CoSchedule – The best way to schedule emails is with a marketing platform built to get your team organized. With Email Marketing, you can easily connect your preferred email platform (MailChimp, Campaign Monitor, Constant Contact, and ActiveCampaign) to CoSchedule with just a couple clicks. You can also use CoSchedule’s exclusive Email Subject Line Tester to optimize and perfect every subject line to drive more opens, more clicks, and more conversions.

SUBJECT LINES 

To determine the best subject lines for your email campaign, we recommend looking at it from a customer perspective first. What emails do you most likely click on? A shorter title that sparks your interest and leaves you wanting more or a long run-on subject line that looks spammy and is too vague?

ATTACHMENTS 

Emails with attachments seem to add more importance and urgency to your message. It’s worth keeping that in mind since research from InsideSales.com shows that those emails are 10% more likely to be opened.

What New Digital Marketing Trends Should We Expect in 2019?

December 13, 2018 by Advertising

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 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 24/7 customer service representative to take your business to the next level in 2019.

 For more on the future of marketing, please read this WSI article. 

Can you see these digital marketing trends to grow in popularity in 2019? What are your predictions? We would love to hear your thoughts!

5 Google Analytics Tools to Measure Your Marketing Efforts

May 31, 2018 by Advertising

5 Google Analytics Tools to Measure Your Marketing Efforts

Tracking conversion is one of the most important tasks we have as digital marketers. Thankfully, there are many free services like Google Analytics tools that we can use to quickly and efficiently measure any inbound marketing efforts. Moreover, we can also see if the website that we’re monitoring is actually helping the business or doing the opposite. 

Are you using Google Analytics to its full potential as a business owner or marketer? If you’re not sure, try incorporating these 5 Google Analytics tools into your marketing strategy now. 

 

5 Google Analytics Tools to Measure Your Marketing Efforts 

 

  1. Measure Your Website’s Speed. As you may already know, SEO plays a huge role in helping your site rank higher in Google Search. Unfortunately, there’s many things than can badly affect your SEO and one of them is your site’s loading time. Moreover, depending on the download speed of your site, you can either gain more website visitors or lose them. To check out your site speed metrics and diagnose any problems, go to Behavior > Site Speed > Overview, or Behavior > Site Speed > Page Timings (for individual pages of your site).
  2. Analyze Site Searches. Want to know how to deliver content your website visitors came for? Enable a search option on your site and then use Behavior > Site Search in Google Analytics to get the data.
  3. Set Up Goals. Often overlooked, Goals are a feature that’s simple to use and quite effective at measuring conversion. To create goals, make sure you have admin rights to your Google Analytics page and then go to Admin > Goals > New Goal. From there, you choose a Goal Type you wish to start monitoring (URL Destination, Visit Duration, Page/Visit, Event).
  4. Look into Reporting. Whether you want to check your own results or report to your clients, you can do so manually or get weekly/ monthly reports straight to your email. To get the most out of your data collection, we recommend covering 7 areas in your Google Analytics report – Audience Overview, Acquisition Overview, Channels, Social Network Referrals, Mobile Overview and Goals Overview.
  5. Stop Tracking Yourself. Assuming you’re the #1 of your website, you probably visit it every single day. To ensure the traffic you bring is not being registered in your Google Analytics reports, you can use a tool to exclude yourself from any future data collection. First, set up a filter under the “Admin” panel. If you have a static IP address, go to All Filters > Add New Filter, and then set a Predefined Filter to Exclude traffic from your given IP address. 

 

There you have it! Starting with just these 5 Google Analytics tools should give you a great deal of information about your marketing efforts. If you want to learn more on how to get the most out of your Google Analytics, stay tuned for more tips!

3 Digital Marketing Takeaways from the SEMPO Cities Delaware Valley Panel 

November 14, 2017 by Advertising

At our full-service marketing agency, Advertising Is Simple, we care about our community – those who are our clients as well as those that we work aside. Because our firm concentrates on serving small to medium sized businesses with their marketing challenges, we always provide our clients with an up-to-date marketing strategy in an industry that changes on a daily basis. 

SEMPO_Cities

Being a part of the SEMPO Cities Delaware Valley Panel last month is one of the ways we learn and grow as a company. Talking to so many inspiring people in the digital marketing industry always leaves us with so many great ideas and new practices to implement into our business strategy. 

Since we like sharing what we know about the Internet and marketing, in today’s post we’re going to share 3 takeaways from the recent panel with SEMPO Cities.  

SPEAKERS: 

Kamran Malik of WSIKamran Malik is a Franchise Business Manager and a Digital Marketing Strategist at WSI. Kamran has mentored/advised 364 entrepreneurs across 60 cities, 18 countries and spanning 5 continents around the world.  During his presentation, Kamran spoke about the past, present and future of Digital Marketing.  Kamran touched on every aspect of Digital Marketing throughout his presentation, explaining what purpose each element of a company’s Digital Marketing Strategy serves to make it come together as a success.  Kamran ended his presentation discussing what is to come in the future.  TAKEAWAY: Technology continues to grow everyday around the world and the opportunities to come are infinite. 

 

Beth Heller Google Partner Enablement ManagersBeth Heller is one of Google’s Partner Enablement Managers in NYC.  Before Google, Beth spent 10+ years in marketing – leading communications teams at PR agencies and serving as a media trainer for her clients.  She also spent two years at a live video streaming start up where she ran the influencer marketing department’s operations and sales trainings.  Beth’s presentation started with the word nomophobia – the fear of being without your mobile device.  She focused on the importance of mobile marketing, as well as touching on information about Google AdWords.  TAKEAWAY: “Be There, Be Useful and Be Quick.”  In today’s world, consumers want information to be easily found, relevant and quick to access.  It’s important to ensure that your online campaigns, website and such are all optimized and ready for your potential customers to utilize. 

 

Michael Fanaro of Aardvark Video WorksMichael Fanaro is the Co-Founder of Aardvark Video Works.  He’s an experience owner with a demonstrated history of working in the broadcast media industry.  Michael is skilled in Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Copy Writing, Video Production and Integrated Marketing. During Michael’s presentation, he focused on the importance of video in a company’s Digital Marketing Strategy.  A video is easier to consume than reading an article or deciphering what a picture means.  One third of all time people spend online is dedicated to watching video.  Michael also spoke about what elements make a good video.  TAKEAWAY: One of the most important elements in a video is making sure that potential customers get what the whole point of the video is about.  Entertainment is great, but if no one remembers what the purpose of the actual video was, you’re missing your opportunity to spread your message.   

 

One of our very own Advertising Is Simple employees – Ian Stevenson, explained at the end of Michael’s presentation how to optimize videos for YouTube.  Ian talked about some of the essential ranking factors to think about when putting your video on YouTube, which include keyword relevancy, authority and engagement.
