Web Marketing
Web marketing is a broad field comprising SEO, PPC, social marketing, content marketing, email marketing, etc. One of the most frequent errors we notice in marketing is the wholesale approach. Businesses try to take on every possible marketing avenue, and as a result, execute everything poorly. This is a huge mistake.
Admittedly, when you are a new business, most marketing professionals will tell you to pick the marketing channel which is most likely to bring you customers, and hone your skills in that area first. This is especially true for a new, local trades business. Local SEO and Google Business Profile listings will bring you customers before you need to concern yourself with a national advertising campaign. For a B2B service business, this might be content marketing and LinkedIn.
SEO is a long term marketing effort. The promise of first page rankings in a month is a sure sign of a marketing scam. As mentioned, SEO requires a sound marketing strategy which is built upon quality content, a well designed website, and links from relevant websites. While we make no claim to the speed of SEO, the results are usually more long lasting then paid marketing.
Whatever channels you think are best for your business, the only thing which motivates a business to grow is consistency. A marketing effort which is consistently followed for six months will usually outperform five marketing efforts, each of which is tried for three weeks. We help you determine which marketing channels are best for your business, and help you stick with those channels for an adequate length of time to determine whether they are effective.
Not knowing where to begin is completely understandable — the majority of businesses don’t market themselves, and have no obligation to. Share with us your product and target market, and we will guide you to the best solution.
