Hinweis der Redaktion
- Welcome to today’s webinar! Thank you for joining us.
- A few quick housekeeping notes before we get started
- Brief introduction… Myself, jasonp…. Matt , do you want to tell people a bit about what you do here at Grow Socially?
- Now, many of these channels can still be effective. But the point of today’s webinar is that we can no longer solely rely on them to increase awareness, buzz, and generate leads
- So, these stats, the social media stats, are amazing… Think about someone’s behavior on Google. People here that I work with, they know the website address, but yet I still see them go to Google and search for the product by name.If some of yoru customers and prospects are doing that, wow! Are you checking that……Your overall marketing efforts!Specifically, inbound marketing.
- Ask Matt: what really is inbound marketing? What does it mean for a business?
- So here’s where we tie in inbound marketing to business. We are not trying to tell you to just be on Facebook, or Twitter, or to post pictures of your employees and company outings. Those efforts need to be tied into your other marketing/business objectives,.. To generate traffic, inquiries, leads, and sales.If they are not doing that, then something needs to change.This often isn’t the case because someone puts social media in a silo, with someone whose “good with Facebook” but disconnected from the rest of the business.It works!Increase Awareness & Drive InquiriesReach More Customers & ProspectsSell more things!
- It really starts with how we view it… Do we just view it as one of these things? Or something else entireley? Perhaps something that’s a way for us to simply share the latest blog post URL.It has to be about more than that.How people communicate, Target like-minded prospects, Communicate with customersWhy use social media?More prospects to sell toGenerate interest in your brandBuild your brandLoyaltyPosition your companyCustomer ServiceAnother Channel

- Lots of ways to measure social media success, so make sure you determine your key metrics BEFORE you get started. I recommend picking three solid metrics to track. Appropriate metrics differ based on what your objective is for the program.
- Provide keywords in the Company descriptionAdd your Products & ServicesUpdate the Company Status frequentlyMatt will talk about the various features here… Mention advertisements as well!
- Talk about Timeline, cover imagesTalk about the 4 boxes you can highlight… considerations
- Talk aobut value of pictures, getting Likes, … how it helpss Edge Rank… which will make your other posts get shownHovering over the # of likes… see organic vs. viral search (matt has slide)
- Benefits of facebook ads.. Affordable, most effectiveAsk Matt about specific types of facebook ads that have worked for businessesTarget your competitors
- One of the key things that we see when it comes to Twitter success---- you have to engage on a personal and professional level.It’s important to have a company page, but we’ve seen the most success by also having our employees with personal pages . Of course, we want them sharing our content, content that will appeal to our customers and prospects, engaging with our audience, etc… but also building relationships!
- Thoughts from matt: companies aren’t creating enogh … not taking the steps tp create and edit and publishPutting the URL in the description up top to drive traffic… and then measureFill out your tags! Keywords in description.Don’t just upload and hope people find it! You have to activelyh promote it and share across other channels, in an integrated campaign !
- Pictures of employees, jobs that you’ve produced, on the road shows, apps that you love, etc.Connect with clients that are already therePost pictures of your job samples, creative outputs, marketing collateral, and other pieces that you are proud of.Showcase employees – management and day-to-day!Claim your branded username today!Avoid uploading directly to Pinterest – Pin photos from your website and blog to drive traffic.Focus on creating and sharing helpful content that your customers will benefit from… and that will visually appeal to them!-------Can it drive business? If yoursignifcant other is on Pinterest, check your credit card statements.
- This slide wraps up the social media section!
- Social-friendly, searchableInteractiveBlogsCommentsLanding PageeNewsletter Sign-UpsWidgetsCalls to action for people to raise their hand
- TALK about the importance of mobile here…. Then.Before we leave this slide.. This wraps up our section on WEBSITE improvements.. Here are some wrap-up tipsAnalyze how much time you spend on it today; most likely, it’s not enough!Your website needs to be integrated into all of your marketing efforts, incuding print, email, social media, and more.
- SEO Best PracticesKeyword UsageContent Rules!Inbound LinksMobile
- Improves SEONarrows down what your site is aboutThe more, the better
- What about items to avoid?Ask Matt what he thinks about these tactics: Buying LinksOver-using/forcing keywords – content should sound naturalAdding so much content that your page load-times suffer.
- Smartphone ownership and mobile web viewing continues to rise!Google is rewarding sites that have mobile websites in its AdWords program
