Editor's Notes
- #2 I want to talk to you today about the importance of being found online!
- #3 The old coffee shop talks where friends got together and chatted about things like their experiences are a way of the past. The new word of mouth is online! Statistics have shown that 85% of all buying decisions are made online these days and that in itself is the most important reason why your business needs to be found online.
- #4 Have you ever heard of the Zero Moment of Truth? It refers to a typical customer's buying cycle as indicated here by this slide. It starts with Interest like for example a customer of yours might have/need [PRODUCT OR SERVICE]. They do some Research to see there the best place in the area is to go. The locate your business and come down to get treated so the Purchase. Finally they comment on their overall Experience of their visit.
- #5 Our goal is to help address the issues with your business's “Virtual Doorway.” Here are the pillars of your virtual doorway we want to look at. Listings, Reputation, Social, Website, and Search.
- #6 Let’s talk about listings for a minute.
- #7 We want to make sure you are found on the internet and your business name, address, phone number, and website are 100% accurate across the board! This is important because your SEO score is based on this accuracy and Google’s magic 3 or whatever they are calling it now, top of Google search is what I refer to it as, is based on accurate listing information and lots of reviews!
- #8 Not only is it important to be found, but you need to be visible on the places where potential customers are looking for information like Google, Bing, Yelp, and YP. It is critical to be found on these big 4 due to in large part to 85% of the traffic looking for business information are viewing these big 4 for it.
- #9 Our service provides a multitude of sources that we update your business listing information on. Here are just a few of them!
- #10 Let’s now talk about another pillar called Reputation.
- #11 Reputation Management is simply being intelligent about your online reputation and also how others view your business! Reputation Management can be broken up into 2 major areas. One is business listings and the second is reviews. Remember that snapshot of your business? The score you received was based on the pillars of your virtual doorway. Our service is designed to help to correct, monitor and manage your listings and find your reviews online and deal with the issues raised either good or bad!
- #12 Add mentions, competition
- #13 We have a proven approach to review management and our agents help to deal with both the good and bad reviews! A Harvard study found that a 1 star increase in Reputation lead to a 5 - 9% increase in business
- #14 Let’s talk about reviews. With 85% of all buying decision online reviews ARE everything. Think of it this way. Say we were going out for lunch together. Of course you were buying, but we weren't sure where we were going to eat. So we decided to Google some close restaurants and we found a couple on the same street. One was a 4 star restaurant and the other was a 2.5 star. Which one do you think we would choose? Of course! Nobody wants to be a 2.5 star, we all want to be 4 star and above for everything we do. Here are some quick stats on reviews!
- #15 Reviews are especially important for local searches as they influence up to 10% of the local page ranking and can increase website visits by up to 25%
- #16 Our next area we want to address is your involvement on social media. How often do you use your social channels for your business?
- #17 Everyday consumers are declaring their buying intentions, asking questions, and trying to create relationships through various social media channels.
- #18 Here are the social channels out there and the usage of each. Twitter, facebook, google+, linkedin, instagram, foursquare, (pinterest, houzz)
- #19 A successful Social Media Campaign has 3 components. One is Customer Service. Two is Generating Leads and Three is Building Fans.
- #20 Next let’s take a look at your website.
- #21 According to Google, the most sought after information on a business's website is phone number, address and hours of operation. Is that information easily available on your mobile responsive site?
- #22 A consumer is five times more likely to leave a website that is not mobile friendly. With our solutions you would have mobile friendly website solution for your business. Did you know that often pages are have phone numbers and addresses added as images and not text, which mean google essentially cannot see the data!. Our sites ensure your site loads quickly with these important data fields in text, so the search engines can “see” them.
- #23 And not only is it an additional indexed site for you, but also a site for you to display AND generate new reviews plus link all of your social profiles.
- #24 And finally we chat about Search
- #25 Search Engine Marketing refers to all marketing tactics used to ensure your business can be easily discovered by customers on search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo. Does your business appear on the first page of search engines like Google?
- #26 All of these things we are doing every month add up. And we want to make sure you are aware of the great work we do each month for our clients. That’s why we send the monthly Proof of Performance Report out at the end of every month. Every page is filled with all of the tasks we performed and the dates we did them. You can clearly see, at the end of each month, all the tasks we’ve done for you, and the details behind those tasks. A very valuable way to keep an eye on the program.
- #27 So let’s take a moment and summarize these solutions and show an example of our 6 month goals for getting your business visible and destroying your nearest competitors. 24/7/365 monitoring Review responses Social posts Listings and citations are claimed and monitored Daily email alerts AND a Login for the responsive Business Center which includes a mobile responsive Listing site. Do you have any specific questions on any of the information I have shared with you today?

Once we have that, we can schedule an onboarding call with one of our digital agents. Can I email that to you now? Very excited to have you onboard!
