2. A service business must generate new leads
to survive.
Lead valves are online marketing instruments
that your business can use to attract new
customers/clients.
A lead valve is any avenue of online
marketing that can deliver business.
3. Most small business websites are not “user
friendly” and thus do not generate sufficient
leads.
Each website needs a lead capture form placed
in a prominent location. (Ex. Name, email, etc.
to request a free quote).
Most individuals are more likely to fill out a short
lead form than pick up the phone and call.
4. “Driving traffic” is internet marketing lingo
for getting visitors to a website.
Most websites generate little traffic, and have
no method of tracking monthly visitors.
If your website does not get a significant
amount of the marketing search volume, how
can it generate consistent leads?
5. Search engine optimization
Social Media (Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, etc.).
Blogging
Pay per click advertising (GoogleAdwords,Yahoo Search Marketing).
Article marketing
Press release distribution
Video marketing
All of these traffic generating strategies are designed to funnel targeted
traffic to your website.Your website (with proper lead capture installed)
will turn this traffic into leads, which will turn into sales.
6. (First page listing on Google,Yahoo, and Bing
for target keywords). (Ex. My Atlanta
marketing consulting website is currently on
Page 1 of Google for a variety keyword
phrases).
This is a passive form of lead generation that
can literally turn a struggling business into
the top producer in town when implemented
correctly.
7. Facebook andTwitter and not just for kids. In
fact, they are sophisticated networking tools
that can build incredible business relationships.
Facebook allows businesses to target customers
by a variety of demographics including: age,
interests, geographic location, and much more.
Twitter is the ultimate social networking tool for
connecting with potential customers in a matter
of minutes.
8. Search engines love blogs.
Blogging is a critical aspect of SEO.
Wordpress, Blogger,Weebly, andTypepad are
popular blogging platforms.
For an example of aWordpress blog click here.
Blogging literally allows small businesses to
compete with fortune 500 companies (no joke!).
9. Pay a small amount (ranging from .25 cents
to $20.00 or more) every time someone clicks
your advertisement.
Primary PPC platforms are Google Adwords
andYahoo Search Marketing.
Facebook PPC is fast approaching as the #1
PPC advertising medium because of the laser
target advertising options.
10. Incredible form of traffic generation

business and submit them to popular article
directories.

that is the correct amount of zero’s) visits to my
