Digital marketing is essential to boost your brand and increase
leads and sales. Online marketing consists of Pay-Per-Click (PPC) ads, social
media posting, email marketing, and organic Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Embedded
in all this includes optimized code with rich keywords and content for search
engines to find the data they’re looking for, along with engaging design work.
The umbrella of services that fall under digital marketing is
overwhelming for most businesses to do on their own properly. That’s why you’ll
find so many companies specializing in the field. The problem is some often
forget about reviewing, scrutinizing, tweaking, and making the necessary
adjustments to optimize your online presence. This is done through a process
called web analysis; without it, you may just be throwing your money out the
window.
Digital Marketing Strategies
Email Advertising
One of the best ways to market your business is by emailing
customers and subscribers about your latest happenings. This low-cost,
high-return-on-investment advertising method informs viewers about upcoming
sales, promotions, and more. Also, it’s easy to determine who clicked to open
the email, what links they searched, and if a purchase resulted. Setting up
automatic emails welcoming new customers and announcing quarterly discounts or
reminders for an abandoned cart are good ideas too!
Paid Online Advertising
To boost your online presence and get on top of search results,
paid ads are the fastest way to make that happen. When you advertise on either
Google or Microsoft Bing, you pay when someone clicks on your ad, or you can
pay per impression of your ad. Pricing is based on budgets, competition, and
how well your webpage relates to the advertisement and keywords. It’s ideal for
strategizing and using search terms and key phrases with high search volume and
a low cost per click. Keep in mind, if you’re in a saturated market, such as
the mortgage industry, you’ll have to spend more money to keep up with the
other top competitors’ listings.
Social Media Marketing
Regularly posting to your social media platforms, such as Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter (recently rebranded as “X”), LinkedIn, etc., are easy ways
to stay “alive” virtually. You can target specific groups and locations with
paid ads or post for free and enhance with paid boosts. A big factor in social
media is to get more followers, fans, and likes to expand your reach. The
greater your following, the greater your potential to generate more leads, thus
sales.
Search Engine Optimization
Content is king, along with proper coding and utilizing best
practices to maximize your digital presence organically. Search Engine
Optimization (SEO) is an evolving strategy that requires some knowledge,
dedication, and patience. Aged and secured websites will gain authority in organic
rankings, and more so with strong, relevant descriptive content. It’s important
to accurately use and assign keywords within titles and descriptions for Google
and Microsoft Bing searches to scan and find your related content for viewers
to read.
Advertise via Blogging
Blogging for your business functions like social media marketing; instead
of posting graphics and reels, you publish articles with descriptive content
such as this. It’s another method to keep your online presence active while sharing
tips, resources, and such with viewers. When properly listed, using meta
descriptions, titles, etc., blogging can help improve your rankings on search
platforms. It’s another avenue to generate good content about your business or
industry – and attract more followers and potential customers.
Using Web Analytics to Measure Online Marketing Success
Digital marketing is incredibly beneficial for small and
medium-sized companies that wish to engage with their audience, reduce costs,
and build consumer trust. With online marketing, businesses can suggest users to
“shop,” “learn more,” “call now,” and more. Digital campaigns are more thorough
than traditional marketing, thanks to modern technology.
By examining your analytical web data, we can learn how visitors
behave while viewing your ads, newsletter, and website - something you can’t
really gauge from television or radio ads. With proper tracking established
within the code, online advertising gives us measurable information to
determine the success of the particular strategy used. We can discover where
your viewers are located, the device they visited your website from, how long
they spent on it, how visitors found it, and the keywords they used to get
there. Additionally, we know how many people see your ad, how many times it was
displayed, and how many conversions it made.
Continuous monitoring of your website traffic and online
advertisements allows us to make calculated decisions to manage and improve
your rankings, user site sessions, and ROI (return on investment.) Digital
marketing is an evolving practice that takes skill, organization, and time. What
works for one business probably won’t work for another. Each company deserves
its own unique marketing plan, and they should all start with an audit to learn
the ins and outs of the current strategy and what’s been attempted before.
