Lets Take the Confusion Out of Internet Marketing
1. Let’s Take the Confusion Out of Internet Marketing
What is Internet Marketing anyway? Most people have heard the term, experimented with it, and some have hired
professional agencies. Much confusion surrounds this subject as to where to begin, what really works, what are
the costs, and how it should be maintained.
At Blue Light, our first objective is to clearly define specific marketing channels that are promising for your
business. We work closely with you to find what works, then formulate a plan of execution.
How We Look at This Mountain
InternetMarketingDemystified
Web technology is our expertise, but the heart of our company is client
communication. Each business has its own unique niche. Understanding what
makes your business tick ensures that the right marketing channels are used.
Successful internet marketing happens when everyone reaches the same synergy.
2. Organic SEO is known as “the method at which you strategically structure and reference your website
content to send signals to archive higher authoritative rankings with search engines”.
SEO / ON-Page / OFF-Page
Construct a Plan of Action
Our optimization specialists will compile a list of websites
that have similar niches, services or products and review their
rankings, placement and strategy. National or International target
phrases can be harder to tackle, especially the ones that are
popular or have flooded markets. Typically we try to find phrases
that are realistic at first then build on them once the website has
the PR. (PR) stands for “Page Rank” value.
OPO (ON PAGE OPTIMIZATION +OFF PAGE OPTIMIZATION) is the first step in optimizing your WordPress
or Joomla! website. OPO is a requirement when it comes down to ranking well for target search phrases.
First things first let’s do some homework.
A Plan of action will be formulated outlining the proposed on
and off page modifications and adjustments. The sitemap and
content will be submitted and re-indexed while we work on
generating external links, references, listings, social signals and
testimonials.
Using Google Analytics, Webmaster Tools and Industry reporting
software we compile a monthly progress report outlining your
sites organic rank for targeted phrases.
3. First off we need understand your companies purpose and marketing goals. Ideally, we need to
know what you want to achieve with your campaigns. Exposure, Branding, Promotions, Product
Highlights, Services and Events are some of the primary objectives. What makes your Product,
Service or Brand unique so we can leverage that in your campaigns and newsfeed streams.
There are so many dimensions and opportunities available on a multitude of networks today. The key is
to find which of them work best for your business and how to implement them correctly. Otherwise you
are just wasting your time pushing content and updates without ROI. Designing a strategy outlining your
approach to social media will prove fruitful for sure. Scheduling and keeping up with updates, posts and
offers needs to be incorporated as well.
Social Network Marketing
5 Stage Breakdown
Define Company Goals and Direction
Here we need to take a step back and really look at what is out there. Finding similar business
models and learning from their successes and mistakes can make a huge difference when
designing a campaign. Some networks might be more fruitful than others depending on the
anatomy of the message we need to broadcast. For example, Twitter, might be a wasted effort
compared to LinkedIn or Facebook if your target audience does not engage as well on that
network.
Market, Competitor and Medium Assessment
If you are going to be pushing social traffic to your website, it is important that your website
matches the message. Using different types of media in conjunction with your branding will
prove helpful when trying to understand what your audience responds to. Putting together an
archive of assets including logos, stock photography, slogans and focused content makes social
media post updates easier to put together. 75 – 85% of social traffic is mobile, so modifying your
website to be responsive and device friendly is a must, otherwise you are going to waste your
traffic. Our team will configure your website with responsive design and social network tracking
options.
Media Assets and Website Setup

and configured for your brand and target market channels. This includes logos, graphics, color
schemes, privacy configuration and links to additional resources.

you don’t have to babysit your social activity constantly. Our team will train you and take
you through the process or assign one of our partners to help you with ongoing updates and
