Lynda and I are presenting today @ Diggers@The Entrance to a wonderful audience of small business owners.
We have received outstanding service from the club – Diggers @ The Entrance especially from Emily the function manager.
I would recommend this venue for anyone hosting an event on the Central Coast
A number of business owners believe that being on Page 1 of Google, when their company name is searched for, is mission accomplished as far as their Online Marketing strategy is concerned.
It doesn’t enter the heads of many business owners that unless their company name is a household name, or they have an extremely well known brand that searchers looking for a product will tend to search the name of that product, and not for the name of one of many businesses who supply that brand . If that searcher has not heard of the company , they wouldn’t know to search for it .
A successful SEO (search engine optimisation) strategy incorporates the business’s ability to anticipate the mind of a searcher who might be looking for one of their products.
The key to Search Engine Optimisation is keywords, if your website has had decent SEO applied then it will rank for the terms that are both most highly searched, and most likely to convert into sales or sales leads.
SEO can do wonders for any business on the web, but if these companies think that just ranking for their company name will be enough , they are clearly wrong.
Ongoing education about SEO strategies is important for all business owners. SEO is a continually changing landscape. Learning and understanding the strategies of SEO will hold you in good stead on two fronts:-
v-Training are running a series of Online Marketing workshops and seminars throughout the Central Coast of NSW as part of a Federal Government – AusIndustry initiative.
Do it yourself (DIY) – SEO strategies are taught throughout the seminar.
Visit the Online marketing workshops website for dates and venues.
I have always said to succeed in business – you don’t have to be the best product or service provider – but you have to be the best at marketing your product or service.
I have defined this thinking even further of late – especially for Small and Medium sized business – SME Business.
