Hinweis der Redaktion
- Wouldn’t it be great if you could get a steady flow of enquiries and bookings and not have to rely on client referrals alone for growth. If you could create online properties that do this for you 24/7 almost on remote control, what would that do for your business?Well I’m going to show you some things you can do to step towards that position online.
- My goal for the next hour is to give you one or two things you can you can take away today and start to implement this week.I want to use this time to show you how to use online marketing to consistently attract flow of new clients because a flow of new clients is the lifeblood of any thriving business and is normally the most significant difference between a thriving business and struggling one.
- Don’t need to take notes because at the end of this presentation I’ll give you a link to the presentation and information about all the how to do all this
- OK show of hands, who has used Google in the last week to do a search?Who has used the Yellow pages – online or offline to do a search?The old broadcast way of marketing that worked two or three years ago, certainly five years ago doesn’t work any more because people’s attention spans are shortening and their media usage is radically different than it was 10 years ago. Remember MySpace, Alta vista, Yahoo?And there are platforms around that we didn’t even know about 5 to 10 years ago Youtube, Triberr, Pinterest, Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook and Google Plus. And who would have thought that so many people would be using smart phones as part of their day-to-day searching for local business services?But the challenge for us all as business owners is which channels should we use and how should we use them and how much time should be spend on them.CLICKIt’s complicated:A recent survey by reply.com of small business noted that business owners the main concerns were Too many channelsNo time to learn what to doToo complicated and confusingDon’t know who to believe or trustCan’t afford the extra costs involvedDoes that resonate with you? It does with most business ownersSo lets focus on what’s important
- Speaking to several of you when putting this presentation together, it struck me that many of you get most of your customers from word-of-mouth referrals from existing clients. This of course is fantastic.But wouldn’t it be great if you had another client acquisition stream that supported this?The marketing complication is that your service is not product or even a transactional service like a pedicure or going to the doctor – its more complex – and thus the traditional online marketing approach of attempting to get someone to sign up or call you from one interaction - is not going to work .ClickYour service is actually an experience service. It’s relationship based and therefore all of your marketing needs to be focused on increasing trust and reducing risk. clickOnline channels are absolutely brilliant for this for this because potential customers need lots of information to reduce risk. Your marketing is then essentially an extension of your hair care, beauty care and fashion advice.This then means that the channels you choose, are essentially a series of “prospect and customer lists” sitting on each web property. The strategy is to give people advice and information to help them reduce risk and increase trust.FB, YouTube, Email Marketing and Online Reviews are perfect for this.
- So the seven pillars of your digital marketing strategy areYou need a strong website that shows up in Google and it needs to be one that generates leads.2. You need to have your website looking good on mobile. Up to 50% of local searches are mobile. And Google tells us that nearly 90% of those searches end up in doing business someone within 2-3 days.3. You should have a Google places (or Google+ local) profile fully built out and connected to your website4. You need to be present and active on social media to create engagement5. You need a business system to collect online reviews. Online reviews make you more findable and makes it much more likely that a prospect will be influenced positively because the reviews reduce risk. No one can sell you as well as someone else. 6. You can also use email marketing to potential clients. The goal of email marketing to potentials is to build relationship, express your values and personality and this increase trust and reduce risk7. Use remarketing to manage the know, like and trust factors for people who have come to your site but not done anything.
- A Forrester survey found that search engines, by a large margin, are the most popular source for finding local information.82% use search engines (such as Google, Yahoo, or MSN).53% use local newspapers.49% use TV.Of those surveyed, 50% said search engines (such as Google, Yahoo, or MSN) were the first place they looked when seeking a local business. Organic search is 2x more powerful than social mediaclickYet given the importance of websites in Google search, a straw poll of some local searches suggest about 1 in 2 hairdressers don’t have a website site. And for those hairdressers that do - they are not what I would call Strong websites.Around1 in 4 Intercoiffure members don’t have one it seemsI guess the others rely on Facebook. ROS StoryclickTo me, having a website is the most important foundation of the digital marketing strategy. It’s typically one of the only online properties that you actually own that can’t be taken away from you. Consumer drivenYour competition is there
- Major errors I see on websites- Flash websites. Google can’t read flash and it is not supported by Apple anything- no phone number in the header or easily accessible on the site- not mobile responsive or no mobile version of the site- cheesy stock photographs- if you made it yourself, or one of your kids made it - it’s likely that the design sucks in terms of consumer acceptance- Two of the biggest mistakes is that there is is just not enough text on the site to get them ranked in Google- And that the text that is there is not optimsed to feed Google
- Google changes their algorithm about 300 times a yearSome of the big changes are Panda and Penguin and Hummingbird which came out about a week ago is adding a new twist about page content.Who gets emails or phone calls saying your website is not ranking for important keywordsYou can ignore thatBecausethe stuff they do does not work - in fact the more you pay them and the more the do the more likely you are to get banned from Google.Directories, Article Sites, Web 2.0 properties, Link development, Private blog networksInfographics, PR, Guest blogging Test – did some one give you a link of love?
- So what do you need to do to make a strong website? You need to feed Google with contentBut not just any content – there needs to be a strategyThe first thing you should do is ask your clients what they would type in to Google to find you if they didn’t know your business name. You can give them a piece of paper when they come to reception get them to write down a couple of phrases. Then enter in Google and see who shows up on that page. Is it your website?After that is a little bit of art associated with understanding the question they are actually asking. You need to get behind the intent of what they’re saying so that you can have some content to your site that really is the best answer to that question. If you answer the question better than anybody else, Google will likely rank you number 1.These days most of the drivers of getting ranked locally are on your website and you can control it. But you need text to feed Google. Google is a text engine that doesn’t read images or video very well.So if you feed Google the text and make the text the best answer to the question that the searcher is asking Google will reward you for it. Provided you structure it right
- Those are meta titles and meta descriptionsBlue one is Meta title - currently still used by Google and very important to rankingDescription : not used by google but is used by searchers – its your online add in the listingsMake it enticing – time to craft it.
- Most important is Meta title and meta descriptionKeywords in meta titleUnique to each page
- Example of page optimisation from MOZ.comAs well as focussed meta titles and meta descriptionsThe keywords are repeated in the headline text, image filename and Alt-image tagPlus the copy has the keyword and related keywords in it.400 words+This will feed Google with your text in a way they understand
- InstallGoogle analytics and webmasterstools so you know what’s happening on you websiteName, Address and Phone (NAP) in text, in micro-format if possible. Put the NAP on every page if you canSite speed is an important ranking factorTry to capture details of visitors so you can start to engage with themEncourage shares +1’s
- Look at your site on mobile. If it’s not responsive (reshapes) or delivers a specialist mobile site the user experience probably sucks – Google Analytics will tell youEpic shift going on – constant connectivity77% of mobile searches are in a location (home or work) where people are likely to have a PC available to them. 73% of mobile searches trigger additional action & conversionsWhen people use Mobile Search to help make a decision they are….30% more likely to visit a retailer website51% more likely to make a purchase57% more likely to visit a store39% more likely to call a businessWhich is best?
