Editor's Notes
The purpose of this presentation is to convince management to invest in web presence and educate your company leaders on the following: What is Web Presence?Why Do We Need a Web Presence Strategy?3 Key Components of Web Presence Optimization
Web Presence is content marketing, social media marketing and search marketing working together as an integrated digital strategy that drives qualified leads to your company.
More than just your website, your web presence is the sum total of your company’s presence online:Corporate website, microsites and blogsVisibility and listings in search enginesWherever your original content can be found onlineWherever anyone is talking about your company, product or service onlineYour company’s social media pages/profiles
It’s an investment, but to get results we have to build a strong strategy, and then maintain it.
Unlike a sales team, it works for you 24 hours a day, helping customers find you, instead of you having to find them.
Ask yourself: “Is my expertise, knowledge and industry authority being shared or discussed where customers are forming these opinions?” You are the expert, but if you’re not creating content, sharing on your website and engaging on social spaces, no one will know!
Content marketing is a means of talking about your brand, products and services in a way that is relevant and meaningful to your customers and prospects.
When done right, content marketing will combine your understanding of exactly what your prospects and customers need to know with the keywords they are using to search for your products and services onlineThe result: an increase in organic search traffic to your website and generate leads.
Search marketing offers solid return on investment because it allows your company to reach its target audience and it’s measureable.But, to see a return, your company needs to understand what your potential customer is looking for and then be there for them.
Find where your customers are online and start engaging with them. Whether it’s positive or negative feedback, it’s essential to know what people are saying about your brand.
Get over thinking about social media as a fad. It’s part of the business. Good content needs to be shared at the executive level, not just by the sales team. It shows authority, commitment to the product or services the company is selling, and allows C-suite execs to talk to buyers where they exist online.
Now that you’ve ‘schooled’ senior management about digital marketing, present your case in terms that matter to them:Business resultsLead generationCost per lead and acquisitionSales increases
