Editor's Notes
Brief intro about me. 12 yrs experience. Training. BGV.I hope to provide information for all levels of experience.Some businesses need to work really hard to stand out, and some just need to stand up to be noticed.The next 4 workshops will help you whether you need the basics to make your phone ring, or you are in a competitive space or you want to be the best of the best.
A successful marketing plan starts with your USPYou probably know this by now.Ask these questions? Am I solving a problem, offering something new, offer the best price, do I know something that no one else knows?
No cookie cutter approach. The best marketing plan is a holistic approach that combines a variety of the best strategies for that particular program. You must first understand the options available, and then determine what will work best for your site. You may not need to use all of these, but here are some basic elements of a marketing plan.Even strategies that every company needs should be customized.Do your market research to determine who your market is, where they are, what they are searching for, etc. And that will lead you into the online marketing cycle…
Your marketing plan is an ongoing cycle, not just a one time fix. You’ll start with the research that we just talked about. This helps define keywords, competition, and market.Then, you’ll optimize your site as well as social accounts and other places of online presence. (keyword placement, technical)You’ll build links and popularity by getting noticed and through social networking.You’ll add supporting media to your strategy using videos, social media sites, and creating general external buzz.You’ll track everything and review your metrics. Analyze and adjust your strategy
1st step: what are you about: KEYWORDSIt's common for a business to think their keywords are something completely different than what their market is searching for. Google Tool – link is in workbook. Be sure to choose Keyword Tool in left nav.Market Samurai: find the sweet spot –not too competitive but enough traffic to be worth the effort. Compare overall number of monthly searches to the number of sites that are using that keyword in the title tag. an allintitle: search gives us a hint of some level of SEO and competition.Important note: numbers are not exact, best option, relative.Social Media - use social media to listen to your market for commonly used phrases. Use search.twitter.com : common, new or related topics. Don’t just look up keywords that describe your product/service. Go back to your USP. What if there’s a common problem that your product solves? You could build content around keywords related to that, and gain traffic for people who didn’t know your product exists! Google hints “something different” and “related to” your search phrase. This type of research helps you organize your content into themes.
competition is who is ranking for the phrases you want to rank for. Not always who you think it is.Use Social Media to get insight into what competition is doing. Check out their sites, take notes, what is working and not working. Learn from their mistakes, do their successes even better.Evaluate competitors site content – make a list of strengths/weaknesses, and identify how you can improve and do it better.Use allintitle: search in Google to see how many pages have the phrase in the title tag.Use linkdomain: in Yahoo. Be sure to choose “from all pages” and “to entire site” from drop downs on right. Quality not quantity, but at least get an idea of what you’re up against, and i.d. any link opportunities.
Social media sites are one of the best places to listen to the market, what makes them compliment a product or service, what they complain about, and if there are common problems that you can offer a solution for.Rebecca will explain librarian experience.whostalkin.com is a great site to search for key phrases, problems, etc. and find out what the market is saying on a variety of social sites.Setup a survey on your site or your FB page and poll your existing network.
When you have some research data, you can begin to dive into SEO. Here are some terms that you’ll need to be familiar with.SEO – process of improving organic visibility of a site in the search enginesSEM – process of marketing a website via search engines, organic, paid, both, and other search engine related activities
Technical: this refers to how your site is configured on the server. More in week 2Content: in a nutshell, if you want to rank for something you need to talk about it on your site. Links: this refers to inbound, outbound and internal links.If one of these three things is not given proper attention, you’ll work 10 times as hard on something else to try and achieve the same results.
And when you’re building your site, make sure your developer or designer knows at least enough to help, or allow you to bring in help. CMS Guidelines are also in workbook – warn against non friendly CMS’s.
To understand SEO, we must first understand the search engines. They are basically deaf, dumb, and blind. (show code) this is what the search engines "see" when they crawl your site. So your site needs to be designed so they can easily determine what you're about.
Universal (blended results) and Personalized search have really changed the way rankings are displayed. More and more, rankings are subjective to different factors, and ranking reports are less meaningful because the results are not the same for everyone.When ranking report software checks rankings, they don’t include the universal results, so if you’re ranking at the top in a local result, or a shopping result for example, that’s a great ranking, but your report might not show you ranking at all.Personalized search has also caused rankings to change, and you don’t even have to be signed in to your Google account to affect that.How does this affect you? Create and optimize content in every format that makes sense: video, images, blogs, etc.
Build your content around the phrases that people are using. No matter where the search spider enters your site, the silo structure ensures that it follows the route you want it to so your content is crawled and indexed in the most efficient way.Organize your site content by theme. Hints from Google comes in useful.Use those phrases throughout social sites and postings.Two Benefits:Better rankingsRankings for related terms
Link building is a form of marketing by earning links from other web sites. It’s pretty much a popularity contest. If the popular kids are saying good stuff about you, then you become more popular. Link Marketing is an ongoing, never ending, time consuming, sometimes expensive, and very important step. It builds authority for your site so you rank better, it brings quality traffic from other related sites, and if you're not doing it, Google won't like you. Most effective link building is done by forming trusted relationships with people, which is the very function of social media. Social networking = natural way to gain links.Link Marketing is Social Networking Quality not Quantity Link out to other authority sitesLink to related sites Become influential and active in your social networks. People will naturally link to you. Social media links DO send signals to engines that your content (link) is popular.Get Noticed Be creative! Inform, entertain, educate, spark controversy.
