Internet marketing has become ever more complicated over time. The increasing complexity has been driven by several factors. Firstly, the environment has become more competitive. Secondly, the search engines have become more sophisticated and thus harder to satisfy. Thirdly, the social media networking sites have become more diverse. It is this last development which has opened up some of the most exciting opportunities.
At Click Consult, we recognise that every opportunity is linked to a challenge. We have the experience and the expertise to pursue flexible and multifaceted campaigns. These campaigns are site-specific, but they are typically using particular techniques which are tailored to the needs of the individual sites.
Joining up search engine optimisation with social media marketing has been a fruitful approach to internet marketing for some time now. Onsite work on anchor text, prompts and design means that a site can benefit from traffic generated by Facebook and Twitter. Use of the likes of Facebook and Twitter can help refine the information held about the target audience. It can boost the web presence of the firm and help it to get links.
Using the social media takes time, subtlety and effort. Users are not attracted by firms which use crude forms of advertising and avoid engaging with them. It takes time for campaigns on the social media to gather momentum because relationships can only be forged over a reasonable period. Persistence is necessary. However, the strategy can be of use in terms of reputation management if it is performed with care.
The advent of Google+ has arguably forced the more established social media networking sites to respond. Twitter dispensed entirely with old Twitter. It also encouraged users to showcase their photographs. The giant Facebook tightened up its privacy controls and did the Skype deal. It is important for consultants to keep track of these developments. On a global scale, Twitter has recently passed the 100 million user mark and Facebook has gone beyond 750 million. Small parts of these large audiences can be approached using the right techniques.
However, a consultancy that stuck to search engine optimisation and Facebook and Twitter may be missing a trick. There are other ways in which a business can improve its profile. One of these is to use LinkedIn. In the first instance, it is necessary to put up a company page or hub. It is then feasible to get employees of the firm connected with it. This is great for networking with other businesses because it can help showcase talent and expertise.
If a company has largely local aspirations then its use of the social media can reflect this. Both on Facebook and Twitter it is possible to make headway by stressing the local dimension. Of course, conventional search engine optimisation can also be adjusted to make the most of local opportunities.
However, the increasing tendency of individuals to use smartphones for local search cannot be overlooked. A site and its content must be suitable for viewing and use on a smartphone. It can be seen that a more complex context necessitates more sophisticated responses.
