Why Small Businesses Need Mobile Marketing

JJ Currie — Fri, 11 May 2012 12:08:42 +0000

With the huge buzz around regarding mobile marketing most small business owners are struggling to discover ways to incorporate mobile into their marketing strategies to help grow their business. The mobile revolution is happening faster than most predicted and companies who do not start thinking of ways to tap into the mobile web will simply get left behind in the next few years.

In a recent study performed by web.com it was found that 84 percent of small businesses have seen substantial growth directly through mobile marketing.

Here are some interesting facts from a recent survey of 500 small business owners:

60% have a normal website
26% have a mobile friendly website
14% have a stand alone mobile website
84% saw an increase in new business due to mobile marketing
61% of small businesses are not promoting their business through mobile search
25% of smartphone internet users who searched for local businesses on their phone mad a purchase in store.

Below are the top 3 reasons for using a mobile website from the small business owners:

Provide better service to existing customers (38 percent)
Attract more local customers (36 percent)
Gain competitive advantage (34 percent)

According to the survey release “there is a large gap between the rapidly increasing mobile search volumes and the majority of small businesses lagging behind in mobile search strategy. Over 61 percent of small businesses currently do not have a mobile search strategy and are missing out on consumers trying to find them via a smartphone device.”

The time is now to start taking your business mobile to reach your target market through a mobile friendly website which will help improve your mobile web presence and overall user experience for mobile users which will result in extra sales.

You can find a full copy of the Web.com Small Business Mobile report and Infographic on GrowSmartBusiness.com.

What is Mobile Marketing?

JJ Currie — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:03:11 +0000

It’s clear that businesses who don’t embrace mobile phone technology in the coming year will be left behind, much as those businesses who sat on the sidelines during the early days of digital or social media are now playing catch up!

Mobile marketing is the best and most direct way of connecting with your customers. It also adds an interactive dimension to your marketing efforts which is unrivaled in effectiveness and immediacy. For most businesses traditional advertising is no longer an effective strategy to drive new customers into the business and it is not showing any measurable return on investment. With the recent boom in sales of smartphones it has been predicted that by 2013 mobile phones will overtake PCs as the most common device to access the internet.

There has been a fundamental shift in consumer behavior and this is where mobile comes in as a marketing channel. For the first time in history you can reach your target market at any time and anywhere via their mobile device.

Think about this for a minute what are the three things you never leave the house without they are your:

Your Keys
Your Wallet &
Your Mobile Phone

The potential that mobile marketing offers with the ability to reach your market on the go is why mobile marketing the first interactive mass medium. Although even though it is clear to most that mobile represents a huge opportunity to help grow your business many are struggling to head their head around how they can use mobile marketing to promote their business. Now mobile marketing can be broken down into four main areas mobile websites, apps, text/SMS messaging and QR Codes.

Here are some stats on what users are searching for on mobile from a study released by Google.

1: Search Engines Are the Most Visited Sites on Mobile!
Search engine websites are the most visited websites with 77 percent of smartphone users citing this, followed by social networking, retail, and video sharing websites.

2: Searchers Look for a Variety of Information on Mobile!
While a range of topics top the list, news, dining, and navigational information are all sought by over 50 percent of smartphone users, which are all information types that lend themselves particularly well to mobile access and action.

3: Mobile Phone Searchers Take Action
Nine out of 10 smartphone searches result in an action (purchasing, visiting a business, etc.). 24 percent recommended a brand or product to others as a result of a smartphone search.

4: Local Information Seekers Are Even More Action-Oriented
95 percent of smartphone users have looked for local information.
88 percent of these users take action within a day.
77 percent have contacted a business, with 61 percent calling and 59 percent visiting the local business.

So with this in mind a mobile website is vital in mobile marketing today. It’s no longer a luxury, but rather it is essential that you have a mobile web presence. It has been estimated that 40 percent of all local searches are performed via mobile devices and if your website is not mobile friendly people won’t scroll around or pinch/expand to find what they want they will just click away.

Now Losing 40% of business is a big loss for most companies.

Would you like to keep the mobile traffic that lands on your site ON your site to stay on your site so they can call you, find you, do business with you? Then a mobile website is essential and absolutely the best way to start. You need to make it easy for them with a mobile website that features “Click to call”, Location and the information they’re looking for in a easy read and navigate format.

Did you know the the most searched keyword for mobile marketing is “what is mobile marketing” this just proves the fact that although we all live on our mobile devices many are struggling to understand how they can capitalize on this growing trend.

One thing that is that businesses who don’t embrace mobile phone technology in the coming year will be left behind, much as those businesses who sat on the sidelines during the early days of digital or social media are now playing catch up!

So with that in mind here is a cool infographic courtesy of the folks at Hubspot – The 17 R’s of savvy mobile marketing:

How Google Search Works

JJ Currie — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 09:39:26 +0000

Did you know that it only takes half a second for Google to return a search based on keywords you type in which is pretty amazing considering there is a whole lot more going on in the background. Here is a video from Matt Cutts which helps explain how Google’s search engine actually works. In this video Matt touches on why we used to see the ‘Google Dance’ and how they have improved the way they crawl the web, plus he also explains how they rank pages based on reputation and pagerank.

Here is a list of topics which are covered in this video:

How Google’s ranking and website evaluation process works
Starting with the crawling and analysis of a site
Google’s crawling timelines and frequencies
The indexing and filtering processes within the databases

How To Get More Out Of A Google Search – Infographic

JJ Currie — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 08:33:21 +0000

Have you ever opened up Google and performed a search looking for something specific yet the results did not deliver what you were looking for? It appears that most people just don’t understand how to find the information they seek using Google.

One thing that really amazes me is the amount of people who use Google on a daily basis yet they often can’t find the exact information they are looking for. This is due to the fact that they do not know how to perform a well executed search to help them drill down to find exactly what they are looking for. I know that being in the search industry has certainly giving me an unfair advantage when performing searches on Google and not many people are aware of the advanced operators you can use when searching to quickly and accurately drill down to the information you really want.

Below is an infographic courtesy of Hack College ‘Get More Out Of Google’ which is specifically for students who are performing research online but if you take the principles and apply them the next time you are searching for some information I know you will be able to improve your user experience when searching Google. These advanced operators help you to drill down through the noise and get to the information you are looking for which is what we all want at the end of the day. So have a look at the infographic below and start improving your search skills today.

Please let us know what you think by posting a comment below we look forward to hearing from you…

6 SEO Changes Required To Avoid The Over-Optimisation Penalty

JJ Currie — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 10:50:16 +0000

Lately there has been a huge amount of speculation circulating the web regarding Google’s over-optimisation penalty which is due to roll out in the near future. Now as the search engines and Google in particular evolve we need to remember that in all of our search engine optimisation campaigns that the user experience is vital. Gone are the days that you can add a whole list of keywords into your page titles and content, now you need to focus on creating content that your target market want’s to consume.

Not only will keyword stuffing and outdated search engine optimisation tactics hurt your websites rankings but they will also drive the users away from your website which is definitely not what you want to do. The whole reason we optimise our websites to rank well in the search engines is to drive traffic into our business not away, so with this in mind here is a great video courtesy of Rand Fishkin from seomoz.org which clearly explains six things we can fix right now. Watch the video posted below:

Here are the six SEO changes that need to be made immediately:

Your page titles need to be authentic and written not purely to get ranked for a certain phrase.
Manipulative internal links where you are using the same exact match keyword and linking to the same page over and over again.
Link filled footers don’t simply place site wide links in your footer.
Text content blocks built primarily for the search engines.
Bad link networks – this is the hardest problem to sort out but try and remove all bad backlinks from sites simply created to boost rankings.
Large amount of pages targeting keywords which are only slight variations of each other.

So if you are doing any kind of search engine optimisation and you have done any of the six things mentioned above fix it now! So it’s a win all round you will keep your search engine rankings and boost your conversion rates through improving the user experience on your website. It makes sense so get started today or if you need any help regarding search engine optimisation let me know I am here to help you.
