A lot of small businesses we know have a website that typically gets updated once a quarter if at all. That's been a big problem for a lot of businesses this year as Google has increased the frequency and severity of their algorythic updates that affect search engine optimization (SEO.) Put more simply, Google has been constantly changing key factors and signals that affect how your website ranks in search results. 

Maybe your marketing plans are off to a great start this year. Or maybe you're bogged down with too many other small business issues to focus on marketing. But the reality is that most of your sales revenue this year is going to be generated by your existing and returning customers and those referrals they send your way! How many of those returning customers and referrals you receive is going to depend on your email marketing efforts and staying top-of-mind.

If you’re a small business owner or an entrepreneur looking to start your own blog, you may feel overwhelmed when thinking about creating a blog strategy from scratch. A lot of resources, time, and tactics go into creating a successful blog, but without knowing where to start, it can be easy to feel discouraged.

With over 3.5 billion searches on Google every day, it’s clear the impact and reach that blogging has. But without the know-how to make your blog stand out, readers can easily get lost in a sea of content. That’s where we can step in to show you how your business can benefit from blog article content done right.

If there's one thing that suffers under automation, it's how cold and impersonal technology can be. Sure, we can use AI and data mining to provide a tailored shopping or search experience.

Unlike B2B marketing, which focuses on addressing problems and directing solutions based on the needs of a business, digital marketing to consumers requires folding your audience into your story in a way that allows them to create an emotional attachment to your brand.

When it comes to digital marketing as a small business owner, you can't always do it all online alone. It's important to delegate and get the help you need to manage your website and online business directory listings like your Google My Business account. Here's the right way to add additional users and listing managers to your Google My Business Listing without sharing your sensitive Google password information or surrendering primary ownership. 

Given the current economic climate amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and extended shelter-in-place orders, there has never been more people online. As a small business owner, it's never been more important to update and manage your digital marketing assets such as your website and online directory listings.  It's truly is mission critical that your business can be found online via search engines including Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. 

Of these directory listings and search engines, your Google My Business (GMB) listing is the most important one to set up and maintain. Why? As Search Engine Land reports, more than 50% of Google searches end without a click to a website via a click on an organic or paid search result.
