Editor's Notes
- It’s my day off today, so I’m going to share with yo u what I actually use. I don’t get paid by any of these tools, so you’re getting the real deal.
- I feel like this is my life. So I’ve been describing the Marketing Octopus everytime I give one of our Google AdWords seminar talks. Magnificent, right?
- And then you tell your boss or CEO or Director of Marketing about your holistic integrated Web 3.0
- There’s a better way.
- There’s a better way.
- Sleek and effective. Awesome! This is the goal. By the way, this is my day off, so none of the tools that I talk about today paid me to endorse them or anything like that. This is all stuff I (and many companies) actually use.
- Let’s zoom out from your toolbox to look at the marketplace in our area.
- Western PA loves to shop local! We did! Thanks for having me. Baltimore - 53% booooooo.
- I don’t build sites for anyone anymore, unless I’m helping a friend on a weekend. No platform pays me money. I’ve seen enough to tell you what I like and don’t like.
- These all make quite beautiful websites but can limit your control either of the backend or the platform themselves. When you need optimization work or are looking for a consultant like me, there’s only so much that can be done.
- Here’s an example. Through no fault of businesses, all Wix sites vanished from Google Search. As a business, you don’t really have control of updates (think iPhone, haha).
- Content Management System, or CMS is simply put, the website platform. 2015 stats from BuiltWith for Top Million sites. 54% of the web uses Wordpress.
- I love wordpress. I’ve worked with sites that have millions of users per month that use Wordpress. I’ve worked with tiny nonprofits that use it. You can host it on your own server (think GoDaddy or Host Gater) and have control over updates. Lots of plugins and add-ons allow your site to grow. It’s open-source, so it’s basically free. You don’t need thousands in web fees. You need a great, hungry young developer and $500.
- In fact, our new site uses Wordpress. Not shabby right? It works on mobile out of the box and we can upgrade or change the look at any time with very little added cost.
- I don’t build sites for anyone anymore, unless I’m helping a friend on a weekend. No platform pays me money. I’ve seen enough to tell you what I like and don’t like.
- Marketers run to the bleeding edge and often run past trusted, reliable results. You can SnapChat someone over Periscope.
- 69% of surveyd consumers preferred email. This is huge. We can use this! Email marketing has fallen by the wayside somewhat. It’s not cool anymore. You should still be investing in it. But how to leverage it?
- Segment, segment, segment.
- Break your list up! Customers need different messages. Use their web behavior, forms, and other data to determine who needs what and build multiple lists.
- Capterra allows users to rate software. 75% who used both liked MailChimp best. I’m a fan too. I think it’s just flat-out easier to use and integrates with other tools easily.
- I don’t build sites for anyone anymore, unless I’m helping a friend on a weekend. No platform pays me money. I’ve seen enough to tell you what I like and don’t like.
- Aziz – “Best toothbrush”. Paperclips Wind Turbines
- This ties everything together: email marketing, point of sale, direct mail, social, etc. If we’re not asking, it won’t happen. ASK! If you’re in service, ou
- Everyone’s business is now affected by review sites. No one is impervious to their reach!
- Remember the mobile revolution we talked about for so many years? It happened! It’s just reality now.
- Did you know AdWords tracks when people get directions from Google Maps from your ad? And that it tracks phone calls from your ad? Take advantage of this! Check out my 2015 Mobile Strategy blog post for more. If you’re not a brick & morter, are you offereing a quick quote? Or a direct link to a sales rep? You can take advantage of mobile too.

- This has been my default reaction to resting for years. When I talk about it during our AdWords seminars I can see people do the Homer. It’s a great idea but where do you start, we don’t have time, and so on.

- You don’t’ have to struggle like an overturned turtle or a sophisticated bending robot. There are tools that can help.
- G2crowd is a pretty cool software review site. They put out an Analytics platform report this year.
- They gave GA a score of 93 on their review test. Not too shabby.
- No shock here. That being said I loved GA before I worked at a certified Premium partner agency. It’s a great place to track all the things I care about and I’ve seen it work for businesses of all sizes.

- See Jon for a quick Analytics or SEO Audit out front.
