#1  Your email address isn’t even from your own domain name.  You don’t even know how to set up an email server?!   wow
#2  The reasons that you listed as to why I should hire you are false; A) I know that I have more than 1 back link and B) I am on social media platforms
#3  Since I’m not worth your time for you to actually check my site out, then your not worth my time to check your service out.
Thank you
Tim

Use technology to track your efforts; focus the right advertising

one of the most important things businesses do when they grow is metrics. Tracking data and monitoring what activities equal results. When you look at your website, the same is true.  Basic analytic programs offer a good place to start, but don’t stop there. Use a program like google voice to set up a new unique phone number for each of your online marketing efforts.  For example the following should each have a unique phone number:

  • Website
  • local review and search accounts like yelp
  • phone book and print advertising

At the end of each month you will be able to see exactly where calls are coming from and that makes your advertising dollars go to the right place for maximum results.

So here’s an example; set up a new phone number, and then send out a twitter promo only using that number. What the account and see if calls come in.  Its that easy! You will be able to prove exactly what and where your business should focus your advertising efforts.

A local SEO case study entitled, “What Makes Money?”

There is a great custom roll forming company with incredible growth potential located in Wakarusa, Indiana.  I am intrigued by their search opportunities so I’ve developed some questions.  First, are their optimal customers primarily local or  are they national / worldwide?  Second, do their optimal customers search the web for a supplier like them or is it going to take active advertising to reach them?

These two questions will honestly answer the larger question I have which is, can SEO help.  …Or to put it more candidly, is SEO worth it.  If a $2K directory listing will solve their growth problem then they don’t really need to invest in SEO, right?  On the other hand, if their “right” customer is out there perusing the web for a service like theirs, then of course SEO is a good long term fit.

End of the story is that I don’t know the answer to these questions, but I am interested in finding out.  The moral of this case study is that not all companies need paid SEO, but all companies do need to find out that answer for themselves.

Moving on from yellow pages

The last time I looked at the yellow pages it cost at least $25 for a minimalistic listing and the sales rep would pretty much tell you “good luck getting any calls off that.” In fact, just to start getting noticed you had to spend at least $80 to $100 per month.  Some businesses spent easily $600 to $1000 per month maintaining full page adds. So it worked, right? Of course it did.  Whenever anyone needed a service or repair where did they go?  The telephone book of course…

These days people look on the internet, and sometimes they don’t even use a computer they use a cell phone…  Services like Yelp and Angie List offer consumers the opportunity to recommend and review restaurants and businesses.  Looking for a service? Your iPhone will use your location to list all local businesses and show you a map of how to get there.

Best part about it is that a lot can be done for free… there are dozens of fantastic business driving opportunities on the web that are 100% free… questions? contact me

Free $100 in Google Advertising dollars for local Goshen businesses

Need an extra boost to your local business this summer?  Try Google Adwords! What many business people don’t realize is that more and more people are using search engines rather than the yellow pages to find local businesses.

For example (and to prove my point) how many people do you know that carry a phone book with them everywhere they go?  No too many right? I for one don’t know anyone, and I don’t know a single person under thirty that even uses the yellow pages anymore (unless its yp.com) BUT how many people do you know that carry a smart phone with them EVERYWHERE they go? Case and point.

When I was on the road the other day I suddenly realized it was time for an oil change.  Since I had a few moments I immediately pulled into a parking lot in downtown Goshen (right by the electric brew) and searched for a local shop to change my oil right then and there.  I ended up at Glens in Wakarusa because I just couldn’t find anyone local, plus $25 is a pretty good deal for an oil change :)

Still don’t think its worth your time? Call me 574 three five four 1101  (Ha! Try to read that spambot!)
