Editor's Notes
- #2 Ask 10 business owners what “digital marketing” is and you’ll probably get 10 different answers. Digital marketing could be described as “Internet marketing on steroids”. What I hope to share with you in the next 5 minutes is a better understanding of what this phenomenon is and how it can take your business to the next level, and it doesn’t matter if you’re a plumber, a real estate agent, a dentist, vet, doctor, lawyer – the industry does not matter.
- #5 Consumers are most definitely online. You can read some of the statistics here, but I read one the other day that was staggering: 121 million searches are conducted in Google every hour (this number does not include Yahoo or Bing), and only 25% of users scroll past the first page. My mission is to get my clients on page one!
- #6 OK…this is the Internet…(Pause)As you can see, it’s not just about search engines and websites any more…it’s about a web presence.
- #7 Having said that, here is the typical process that people follow when looking for your products or services.So going clockwise on the screen, 1: (CLICK)It usually starts on search engines like Google or Yahoo or Bing. Or maybe, on Directories like Google Places or Local.com.2: (CLICK)Next, Consumers learn about your products and services on many more places than just websites, perhaps on company or personal blogs, or on multimedia sites like YouTube or Flikr or vimeo.3: (CLICK)Then, they might check your reputation…essentially a free background check on Google hotpot, Google Places, Angies list, or Yelp.4: (CLICK)After that, they might consider personal recommendations from friends on Facebook, or Tumblr, or Twitter.5: (CLICK)Depending on your service or products, they might even check for deals on Groupon or Zagat or Yelp.This is all perpetually happening; You can’t stop it, you can be there, not be there, or be there with a good or bad reputation. You can leave it to chance, or you can manage it. That’s where we come in.To showthis cycle a different way…
