December 15, 2019/in Digital Marketing, SEO /by Jane Phelps

PPC and SEO are ultimately about the same thing, search and getting clicks. These two inbound marketing tactics make it easier for your customers to find you online.

It used to be that PPC and SEO were siloed – you either focused on organic SEO or you put all your efforts into PPC campaigns. However, the internet is changing and so is Google, meaning that it’s time for SEO and search strategies to change as well.

When used together, SEO and PPC makes it easier for people to find you and encourages them to click your URL in the Google search results page.

Organic Search For The Win in 2019 and Beyond

September 15, 2019/in Digital Marketing, SEO /by Jane Phelps

One of the most common questions we’re asked by clients is “Why can’t I just pay for my website and social traffic?” and “Does SEO really matter that much?”

We get it – you want to drive traffic to your website and social accounts, and you want it to happen immediately. This is what paid traffic promises to do for you – clicks, clicks, and more clicks.

The lingering problem with these all these clicks and sudden boom in traffic is quality. Who is clicking these links? Are these clicks converting to new customers or regular website readers and social followers? What is motivating people to click your paid advertisements? And what about the people who see your advertisements but don’t click the link?

Organic search and SEO work because when done right, you’re giving your readers exactly what they want. The website and social content that answers their questions, gets them engaged with your brand, and keeps them coming back. An advertisement simply cannot do this.

June 18, 2019/in Content Marketing, Digital Marketing /by admin

People want to read your email newsletter. This is why they subscribed. The people on your email newsletter list want to connect with you. They value your thoughts and believe that you have something of value to give.

And this is exactly what you need to think about when you sit down to create your email newsletter. Give your readers a newsletter that adds to their day. Don’t waste their time.

Remember, you and I get a lot of email. This means to stand out, your email newsletter has to matter to me. This means you need to know me. You need to know why I subscribed, what I’m interested in, and why your product or service is important to me.

I get it – this sounds overwhelming. How are you supposed to find the time to get to know your subscribers, find out what they want to read, and then write, edit, test, and send your newsletter? It is a big ask.
