Digital Marketing Strategy
Every year the best laid schemes of mice and men go awry. I have composed a
list of actions to take today which will effect your digital marketing for your
business, and ensure that you are as up to date as you can be. If I have missed
any, please do put them in the comments section at the bottom, and I will add
them to the post (and attribute them to you).
Online marketing actions, print off and complete:
1. Check you have the correct Copyright on the bottom of your website and that
the date is current.
2. Check your Google analytics are working (and start to use them).
3. Check you have all of your title tags and descriptions on your website unique
and present.
4. If you use WordPress check you can log into it, and it is current.
5. Upload an XML sitemap to Google and make sure it is updated regularly.
6. Check that you have nothing out of date on your website, have you referred
to last year in it and are you talking about 2011 or before?
7. Check your website domain name registration and ensure you are up to date
8. Check your data capture registration works and any other forms you have.
9. Check your Website Accessibility, this is something which is being required
more and more, you must be W3C Compliant.
10. Check your pricing. Now is the time to review and change, new year, new
prices.
11. Check your on-line directory listings, are your photos, links and details all
correct?
2. 12. About.me Do you have an about.me website? If not get one, if so when was
the last time you checked it and updated it. Lots of new features available.
13. Have you got up-to-date testimonials? If not get some. Testimonials from
2011 will look very out of place, and will not help your credibility! Ensure that
they are current on your website and LinkedIn.
14. If you have had staff changes now would be a good time to ensure your
passwords have been changed.
15. Delete any Facebook admins that are no longer employed with you, or are
involved with running your Facebook page.
16. Ensure you have your social media covered. You must be on Twitter,
Facebook and LinkedIn. If you are not, social media could be killing your
business.
17. Check your keyword strategy, are you still targeting the right keywords for
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).
18. Check you have no unanswered messages in your LinkedIn email, and set
up a reminder to do this at least weekly.
Social Media Marketing Checks
19. Check your profile is up to date on LinkedIn, have you changed jobs? Or got
a promotion?
20. Are your groups on LinkedIn still applicable? Do you need to delete some
and join others? Are you even using them to your advantage?
21. Review your LinkedIn account – there were lots of new features added last
year, do you utilize them?
22. LinkedIn Company Page is a must, have you got yours? Add it to your to-do
list.
23. Facebook Insights. Check your insights and see which updates were
popular last year. Get into the habit of doing this weekly, it will ensure that
Facebook works better for you.
24. Check you don’t have any outstanding messages in your Facebook
account, if you do answer them now and apologize. Better to start the New Year
off with a clean slate.
25. Go through your competitors Facebook Pages and follow them. If you don’t
know what they are doing how can you do it better? #Massageyourego
