From Hope to Despair The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics.pptxBoston SEO Services
From Hope to Despair: The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics
Are you tired of seeing your business's online visibility plummet from hope to despair? When it comes to SEO tactics, many businesses find themselves grappling with challenges that lead them to abandon their strategies altogether. In a digital landscape that's constantly evolving, staying on top of SEO best practices is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge.
In this blog, we delve deep into the top 10 reasons why businesses ditch SEO tactics, uncovering the pain points that may resonate with you:
1. Algorithm Changes: The ever-changing algorithms can leave businesses feeling like they're chasing a moving target. Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms to improve user experience and provide more relevant search results. However, these updates can significantly impact your website's visibility and ranking if you're not prepared.
2. Lack of Results: Investing time and resources without seeing tangible results can be disheartening. The absence of immediate results often leads businesses to lose faith in their SEO strategies. It's important to remember that SEO is a long-term game that requires patience and consistent effort.
3. Technical Challenges: From site speed issues to complex metadata implementation, technical hurdles can be daunting. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for SEO success, as technical issues can hinder your website's performance and user experience.
4. Keyword Competition: Fierce competition for top keywords can make it hard to rank effectively. Businesses often struggle to find the right balance between targeting high-traffic keywords and finding less competitive, niche keywords that can still drive significant traffic.
5. Lack of Understanding of SEO Basics: Many businesses dive into the complex world of SEO without fully grasping the fundamental principles. This lack of understanding can lead to several issues:
Keyword Awareness: Failing to recognize the importance of keyword research and targeting the right keywords in content.
On-Page Optimization: Ignorance regarding crucial on-page elements such as meta tags, headers, and content structure.
Technical SEO Best Practices: Overlooking essential aspects like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability.
Backlinks: Not understanding the value of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
Analytics: Failing to track and analyze data prevents businesses from optimizing their SEO efforts effectively.
6. Unrealistic Expectations and Timeframe: Entrepreneurs often fall prey to the allure of quick fixes and overnight success. Unrealistic expectations can overshadow the reality of the time and effort needed to see tangible results in the highly competitive digital landscape. SEO is a long-term strategy, and setting realistic goals is crucial for success.

2. What is partner onboarding?
How to Streamline Partner Onboarding Using PRM Software
Most organizations selling through a channel don’t realize that partner
onboarding is not a one-time event but an ongoing activity. This is
where partner relationship management software, or PRM software, can
greatly help. The purpose of PRM software is to automate four core
workflow activities related to partner recruitment, partner engagement,
partner enablement and partner management. The major step between
partner recruitment and partner engagement is proper onboarding. In this
article, we will explore how PRM software can significantly streamline this
onboarding activity.
Before we explore in detail how PRM software can accomplish this, let’s
start with a basic question: What is onboarding, and how can it impact your
partner base? Wikipedia defines onboarding as “the process of bringing a
new employee on board, incorporating training and orientation.” Pretty
comprehensive—right?
3. Types of partner onboarding
How to Streamline Partner Onboarding Using PRM Software
When we apply this to channel marketing, “employee” would refer to
employees from the partner organization across marketing, sales, technical
and support areas. Since a channel partner is essentially an indirect sales
and services organization, getting partner employees on board, trained and
oriented to a vendor program is incredibly important in order for the partner
to be able to sell successfully. PRM software can play an essential role in
these three core areas—onboard, train and orient.
With this as a backdrop, let’s take a look at how onboarding existing
partners is different from onboarding new partners. Then we will discuss
how PRM software needs to be able to adapt to a broad range of
onboarding-related circumstances. We’ll start with the process of recruiting
and onboarding new partners.
4. New partner onboarding –
How to Streamline Partner Onboarding Using PRM Software
When it comes to onboarding a new partner, the process of engagement
starts with partner recruitment campaigns and programs. (While we will not
discuss how to drive partner recruitment here, there are multiple articles on
the ZINFI website that you can explore on partner recruitment using PRM
software.)
Let’s assume for the moment that a partner has been recruited, and has
been invited to the partner portal to log in and start filling out a new partner
agreement form. This is almost always the first step for new partners. Once
a partner logs into an existing partner portal, the PRM software needs to be
able to show only the forms and contractual agreements that are relevant
for this particular partner. That means if a vendor has different agreements
for different types of partners distinguished by various competencies or
verticals, or by the nature of business they are in—and has different forms
that reflect those differences—then the PRM software needs to be intelligent
enough to differentiate one partner from another and provide only applicable
contracts.
5. Mechanics of partner onboarding
How to Streamline Partner Onboarding Using PRM Software
Now, once this new partner has signed forms and applied, the partner will
have to be approved by the vendor organization, and that may involve
various cross-functional teams, such as channel sales, channel operations,
channel marketing, marketing, finance and, in some cases, even human
resources. If the contract is being modified by the partner, perhaps because
it is a very large organization, then legal may also have to be involved.
It is almost impossible to manage this process manually using simple email
and office software like Word. PRM software not only streamlines this
activity significantly, but also keeps a history of all changes. This kind of
documentation—which can capture the entire contract negotiation process
digitally—may become important later for a variety of legal reasons and
historical verification purposes. If your organization should ever need to
refer back to what you have agreed upon with your new partners, all of
these back-and-forth conversations (as well as the intent of the partnership)
will be fully captured in digital form, even if there are personnel changes in
the interim. Without PRM software you simply cannot do that.
6. Importance of business planning
How to Streamline Partner Onboarding Using PRM Software
Once a contract is signed, which is the first basic onboarding step, your
organization will very likely authorize multiple users from the partner
organization to start interacting with a number of your employees. These
engagements will often happen across marketing, sales, technical, support,
finance and may be even legal departments. For example, there may be
project-specific contract development that requires you and your partner
organization to work together in the future. But for now let’s focus on the
next step – which is business planning. Again, PRM software will play a
critical role, in this case providing a dynamic interface and engagement
management capabilities.
In the business planning phase partners need to figure out exactly how they
will sell and incorporate the vendor’s solution into their go-to-market
portfolio. On the vendor side, channel sales, channel marketing and channel
operations will all need to interact with this partner. That means your PRM
software has to be able to enable cross-functional access via the partner
portal to make this dynamic business planning process work.
7. Training – key to success
How to Streamline Partner Onboarding Using PRM Software
Gone are the days when you could simply fly over and meet your partner
base and work things out in person on pen and paper. We live in a digitally
distributed world now, and we all have to work through email, web
conferences and various other means. Yet at the end of the day you and
your partner have to capture go-to-market plans that incorporate marketing,
sales, technical and support activities, but also establish hard financial
targets and commitments. This is not a science project; it has a direct
impact on your top and bottom line. Therefore, it is essential that you have
state-of-the-art PRM software that is designed specifically to enable,
organize and manage this entire complex planning process.
When the contract is signed and the partner has assembled a basic
business plan specifying what they will sell and how, then the next step is
to focus on training to make sure the partner organization is functionally
capable of marketing, selling, fulfilling and serving. It’s a lot like new
employee orientation. Ideally, all functional training will be rolled out using a
fully configured learning management system (LMS). Again, PRM software
plays a critical role, making sure the partner has personalized access to
relevant training materials and will be guided through the competency
development process step-by-step.
8. Journey towards success…
How to Streamline Partner Onboarding Using PRM Software
It is not just the partner who will need access to LMS, but also the entire
channel operations team supporting the partner organization. Most vendors
go through enormous amounts of content updates and changes on a
weekly, monthly and quarterly basis. Just as the partner base needs regular
training to be able to successfully sell vendor products and services, the
vendor’s own employees also require access to those same training and
certification modules to make sure their own competencies stay on a par
with, or ahead of, the partner base.
Once a partner has gone through contract signing, planning and training,
they are now ready to join the existing partner pool to start marketing,
selling and serving the new client base. Of course, state-of-the-art PRM
software can automate a lot more than the processes related to contracts,
business planning and training, but since we are focusing our conversation
here on new partner onboarding, I won’t go into that here. Instead, let’s turn
our attention to the next category of partners: the existing partner base.
9. Existing partner onboarding –
How to Streamline Partner Onboarding Using PRM Software
Too often organizations actually neglect to apply the framework of onboarding to
an existing partner relationship. There are various reasons for this, but the most
common reasons we see are related to the absence of a solid partner
relationship management process with the right infrastructure and structured
programs. Let’s address these reasons and see how PRM software can help.
When you think holistically about onboarding according to the definition we
began with—“the process of bringing a new employee on board, incorporating
training and orientation”—you are forced to recognize that change is constant in
any organization, including partner organizations. In your own organization,
marketing, sales, support and technical people are changing constantly. It’s no
different for your partners. While you may not need to create a broad partnership
agreement between your organization and a partner every time the partner hires
a new employee, it’s likely you will need that new employee to sign a non-
disclosure agreement and/or other forms that apply at the level of individual
personnel level. Also, it’s quite likely you will need to train every one of those
employees based on their functional expertise, and stair-step them through the
competency development process just as you did when the partner organization
first signed up to sell for you.
10. Onward journey…
How to Streamline Partner Onboarding Using PRM Software
In addition to new employees joining partner programs, you also have new products,
programs and promotion launches almost every quarter—perhaps even multiple times a
quarter. How do you ensure all your partner employees are fully aware and trained on these?
Over and over we have seen that the vendor organizations that take a systematic approach
to onboarding are best-positioned to manage change and help their partner base adapt to
those changes. When such vendors introduce new products, programs and promotions, they
are able to drive adoption of those campaigns more effectively, leading to better sales
outcome and ROI. However, without a structured onboarding process designed to help
existing partners understand new products, programs and promotions, your campaigns may
fall completely flat. Again, properly deployed PRM software can significantly streamline and
enhance your ability to execute new programs across the partner base.
This dynamic onboarding and training process never really ends, since partners are
constantly dealing with new employee onboarding themselves, and your organization is
constantly rolling out new initiatives. PRM software is critical in managing this process so that
your organization knows which partners are at what stages of success, and what is really
working or not. Without this intelligence, your channel and corporate team members are truly
working in the dark and they won’t be able to make the necessary changes to optimize
results.
11. Automation via PRM Software
How to Streamline Partner Onboarding Using PRM Software
When you step back and think about partner onboarding as a holistic
process and initiative, you can clearly see you are never really done. While
the journey begins with signing up a new partner to sell a vendor’s products
and services, many onboarding activities are repeated in different contexts
and for different individuals, whether they work for new or existing partners.
Your organization’s ability to streamline these activities across the partner
base by geography, level of competency, business lines, and other
variables may be the difference between success and failure. These
variables create considerable complexity, but that complexity can be
mitigated by adopting a partner relationship management (PRM) framework
and deploying automation via PRM software.
When an organization does deploy PRM software, we see substantial
increases in channel productivity. Such improvements have also been
reported by various leading industry analyst firms. This is not just good
karma we’re talking about: it also impacts both your top and bottom line in a
very good way.
Well, maybe it is the result of good karma. That’s something to think
about….
