Should I be using Social Media to market my business?

Website design and development, search engine optimization, blogging, social media: what do all of these have in common? They are all practical applications that you should consider if you are looking to develop or expand your online presence.

Depending on what type of program you are considering, social media can have tremendous influence for prospective new clients. And while a social media program may not be what is right for your business, it is definitely worth looking at. Many web development companies in Milwaukee, and abroad aren’t taking full advantage of these four practices and are therefore, selling you short.

As you are searching for a company to work with developing your internet marketing strategy, pay consideration to what they are saying about each of the four applications. After all, once you decide to partner with an Internet marketing company to handle your advertising, you want to make sure they are looking at all the angles for your business.

While not every business needs to implement all four of these practices to have an effective marketing program, (the only shoe repair man in Wausau Wisconsin probably doesn’t need to optimize his website any further than registering with the search engines, and making sure his website appears on the map feature) every business should consider all four. Furthermore, every Internet marketing company should have a good grasp on all four applications of Internet marketing, and understand the how each can work to your benefit.

Applying the right marketing mix is crucial to ensuring that your marketing dollars are stretched as far as they can be. Some of these practices are not as profitable to Internet marketing companies as others. However, at the end of the day, its not what makes your Internet marketing company money, it is what they put into play for you that makes you money.

Be wary of taking advice from any web developer who has negative things to say about social media or any other practical Internet marketing strategy, they may be more interested in their profits than yours.

Optimize your website with a Blog Part 2

What is a Blog? A blog is basically a one page website. It is a compilation of articles that you have posted to the Internet. It is easily indexed by the search engines. You can write a blog every month about your industry and post it to the Internet for everyone to see. A blog is always fresh and new and the search engines love fresh and new content.

Fresh and new content updated often is a great way to ensure that Google keeps returning to your blog again and again. Once the search algorithms are trained to realize that the content on your blog changes often and is completely original, you are way more likely to see your website higher up in page rankings. Why?, because your blog is linked to your website. And by linking the two together, because your blog is well optimized, your website becomes well optimized (i.e. higher in the search results). A blog is a great way to increase site recognition and page rankings for your website. (Insert ah ha moment here)

So by creating a blog, and posting it to the internet, you have achieved one very important crucial way to optimize your website better. You are developing brand new fresh original content and posting it to the search engines. You are giving your customers much needed advice and information that they are seeking when they use Google. Your blog will appear high in the search results and because of this, will get clicked on. People will read your blog and obtain valuable information. The blog will link to your website as well as highlight your business as the expert in the field. Your blog is well optimized, your website is well optimized, and you start to see more traffic and sales as a result.
