The Best Ways To Get Found Online
Getting found online is more important than ever, especially for small and medium-sized businesses.
Standing out online is crucial to the growth and success of your business, but with so many strategies and tools available where should you start?
And what is the best way to ensure your business gets found online by the right people at the right time?
SEO is the cornerstone of any successful online strategy, search engine optimisation is the process of optimising your website so that it ranks higher in the search engine results pages, (SERPs) – this makes it easier for potential customers to find you.
There are many different sides to search engine optimisation, including on-page search engine optimisation, off-page search engine optimisation and technical search engine optimisation.
You should also look to maximise the local search engine optimisation aspects including the Google My Business page, which we have discussed in a previous blog.
Other angles that you should consider include social media, social media platforms are where your customers spend a lot of their time and being active on social media is a good idea to help build awareness and drive potential customers to your website.
You can choose Paid Social which is where you pay to run ads on the social media networks. You can also try and create traction using organic/free postings on social platforms.
The highest level of intent generally comes from people searching on Google, this is when search engine optimisation can help you from an organic perspective, however, search engine optimisation does take time. We’ve written a few recent blogs about search engine optimisation, these go into more detail about how SEO works and what you can do to get found organically.
You can have some quick wins using Google Ads often referring to us pay-per-click advertising or PPC.
Google Ads can help you target specific keywords that are relevant to your business.
This ensures that your website appears on page one of the results pages, even above organic listings, for specific keywords and specific locations.
You can also build up a customer list and use email marketing as a great way to drive traffic, sales and enquiries.
