Organic Search or SEO

Organic search (natural Google search results (not the ‘Ad’ results at very top and bottom of the page)) is the natural non paid for advertising that is the holly grail. We can help you achieve the best scenario for this FREE TRAFFIC.  Do spend some money on SEO it keeps repaying you vs the Social Media Tap that stops giving the minute you stop investing. There is also a secondary benefit that is with google advertising when you have a well optimised and functioning website. 

Paid Search or PPC

If Social Media is a tap, that is also true of PPC or pay per click (‘Ad’ placements in Google results- aka Google Adwords). Depending on your business this might be a good idea in some circumstances. However you need to be careful that you don’t build a dependency on them. They can be useful for new businesses to get to market fast. Make sure you do this alongside SEO and offsite SEO. PPC is cheaper with good SEO so you outrank your competitors and may pay less per click! It makes sense to use the same company for SEO and PPC.

Pay Per Click advertising is really critical on setup so that you don’t pay for clicks that you will never convert. Using negative keywords is the classic example. Using negative words and geographic targeting is just the start. Again the tap is only good while your balance is not zero. It also doesn’t go towards constructing anything (It doesn’t help your natural organic position). If you don’t convert from the clicks it’s wasted money. So also make sure you consult with us on the best format to convert. Very careful AB testing and feedback is critical. Tracking and evaluation should form a continuous loop to maximise the results/budget ratio.

Email Marketing

Email harvesting is important and the follow up, start capturing emails for future customers on your website. It helps keep a line to your potentials when they access you across a variety of touch points. The conversion rates for email lists are low. This is due to email's inherent problems with spam and the sheer volume of emails we all get.

SMS Marketing

SMS converts much better than email so start obtaining your customers mobile numbers too (HINT: FACEBOOK ADVERTISING). Find a plan and message format through AB testing that works best.

Content Marketing 

A common theme that does have basis in improving search results is content marketing. This consists of articles or white papers pdf’s etc that exist online in some location mostly other than your own site or blog. Blogging is a kind of content marketing too. The articles are or should be about some aspect of the business and link to your website or deeper. It is time consuming to get decent articles written and might be best to write from internal resources. It can be hard to find good neighbourhoods (websites) to host your content it’s time consuming. This is why business often choose to collaborate with an agency to get the hard part done regardless of who creates the articles.
