The Marketing Edge

We are excited about our next series of training resources for businesses and broadcast!  Search engine optimization is critical to outreach, and should be a key component of every strategy to increase exposure and influence.   Why?  People use search engines 80% of the time when looking for something new.  Do you want folks who are looking for what you have to offer but don't know your name to find you?  That is where search engine optimization comes in! 

This new training series will provide some of the step by step strategies that you can incorporate into your marketing/outreach.   And, of course, if you don't want to try this at home, we are always here to do it for you!  As a leading interactive advertising agency, we have helped our clients increase website traffic by as much as 400% in three months, while increasing income 70%!   It is all about identifying the interest and getting out in front of the traffic that already exists online, and then redirecting that traffic to your website.

The first step, which we will discuss briefly today, is to identify those keywords that define what you do.  For example, for Edge Media, several of our most important keywords are marketing companies Phoenix, advertising and marketing consultants, interactive web agency, and advertising agencies Phoenix AZ.   We want folks to find us who are looking for an advertising agency but are not already familiar with the name Edge Media .  We always choose our name as a keyword, so the name keyword is Edge Media. 

The next set of keywords for us then revolve around our particular products, so mobile advertising agency is a keyword, reflecting the fact that we offer text message marketing and mobile marketing.  SMS software is another word, so that we get out in front of folks looking for text message marketing software.  We generally recommend choosing 25 keywords to start. 

It is also important in the keyword identification process to get out of your shoes and into the shoes of those who are looking for what you have to offer.  We measure our keywords against the volume of traffic that already exists, as well as how competitive those words are with other folks who offer similar services to us.  Folks inside our own organizations tend to lean towards the more technical terminology instead of the layman terminology that most of the search revolves around.  For example, for us, SMS marketing software is a bit technical, so the folks searching on that term already really know what they are looking for, as opposed to someone who searches for text message marketing or texting for business.

So, put on your thinking caps and identify your top 25 keywords.  If you need our services to help identify those terms and measure them for traffic volume and competition, we offer very reasonable search engine optimization services!   The next post will discuss the next step - what do you do with these 25 terms??   Stay tuned.  And be sure to post questions if you have something specific you would like addressed.
