Landing Page Optimization Best Practices "Conversion Ninja Toolbox"
Learn the top 12 practical hands-on tools that can be used to quickly improve conversion rates.
* Tim Ash, Author, Landing Page Optimization & CEO, SiteTuners.com
The document summarizes how search engine optimization (SEO) has changed dramatically from 2001 to 2011. In the early 2000s, SEO involved on-page optimization of keywords and links. By 2011, search engine results pages (SERPs) are highly personalized, featuring instant answers, maps, news, and social annotations. Rankings are influenced by social networks, geography, and personalization. Modern SEO requires an inbound marketing approach across all digital channels, with a focus on content, video, thought leadership, social media, and measuring performance.
Getting Found in 2014 provides 12 tips for generating more organic search engine results and increasing brand visibility online.

Google controls over half of all web searches but distributes traffic across different domains relatively evenly. Features like featured snippets and knowledge panels now make up a large portion of clicks. Marketers must adapt by optimizing for these features through content, links and other signals. Personalization also plays a bigger role, as Google tailors results based on location, device and user history. Overall, SEO requires a focus on providing helpful answers rather than just links.

Creating A Marketing Strategy for your Auto Body Shop That Works!Lee Emmons
When we first started AP Media in 2010, we didn’t set out to specialize in the collision repair industry – we set out to specialize in digital marketing. Fate would have it that two of our first accounts were Mark’s Body Shop in Baltimore and K&M Collision in North Carolina – two independent shops with a strong focus on the consumer above all else.
Our early education in the industry came from these two shops, and if any of you are aware of Mark’s and K&M, you’ll know that they have a very strong set of core beliefs at the heart of the way they do business. They take great pride in their independence. They believe that their customer, the vehicle owner, is the top priority. And as a result, the quality of the work has to get as close to perfection as humanly possible.
Not only did we take this on as the way body shops should do business, we also took these principles and made them our own. And we take pride in striving for perfection, and the customer is number one. The growth of the businesses we work with is the purpose of everything we do, and the key to that growth is to understand and serve the needs of the consumer.
If you don’t understand the consumer’s needs and their process of buying your services, you’ll never know how to attract them to your shop, and you may never be in the right place at the right time when they need you. Because the collision repair buying process is very different from most other industries.
