Farewell, 2020: Digital Marketing Edition
It is fair to say that 2020 has been a game-changer in every industry, and digital marketing is no exception. Many office buildings, work floors, and other workspaces locked their doors and instructed their employees to set up shop at home. It was an eventuality that no one saw coming – and that many wouldn’t have considered possible before the pandemic. Fortunately, the resourceful and flexible digital industry – as a whole – has managed quite nicely. This isn’t to say, however, that it’s been easy or that there aren’t ways we can continue to stay nimble and to roll with the evolving landscape of the new normal.
Keeping Things Internalized: Maximize Your Internal Links
This may not come as a huge surprise, but you’re probably not even coming close to maximizing the value of your internal links. You’ve got a lot of balls in the air (it is 2020, after all), and let’s face it, all that internal link stuff can be hard to interpret and act upon. It’s easy to lose sight of the dynamic role internal links can play in your site’s overall relevance, but Google’s numbers don’t lie – internal links matter. Fortunately, there are some tips that can help you dominate those links and elevate your site performance in the process.
Why You Need a Solid FAQ Page, and How to Get There
Nobody wants to leave customers – or potential customers – hanging. These searchers have questions, and if you can provide them with answers upfront (with minimum hassle), you decrease the risk of losing them to competitors. SEO is a similar deal, and if Google can’t find its answer – pronto – it will look elsewhere. When you take the time to create a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page that addresses common questions with comprehensive answers that highlight your brand’s strengths, you do yourself and your customers a favor.
How to Measure Your Return on Content-Marketing Investment
It’s clear that marketing matters and that content is critical to search engine optimization (SEO), but how do you quantify your return on investment (ROI) when it comes to content marketing. It’s a good question, and fortunately, there are guidelines that specifically address your concerns. The fact is that even many marketers aren’t sure how to address the ROI issue, and Content Marketing Institute shares that upwards of 40 percent are seriously invested in improving their ability to provide concrete measurement tools. While qualitative measurements can provide you with a sense of how things are going, they don’t have the gravitas of cold, hard numbers.
The Need for Speed: Page Speed Optimization
If the notion of page speed conjures ideas really complicated technology in your head, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Page speed is and always has been integral to search engine optimization (SEO), which means that understanding the basics is definitely worth the effort. You get that web pages are loaded, and if you also get that the ones that load more quickly are awarded bonus points, you’re ahead of the game. Things get more complicated from here, but the experienced digital marketing professionals at The Web Guys can help you get your site get to where it needs to be.
Not Just Customers But Brand Advocates
Customers are great, but brand advocates are even better. When your customers are all in, they can be more influential than any old marketing strategy – completely free of charge. We naturally tend to put more stock in recommendations that come directly from people we know or are connected to, and customers who advocate on your behalf can be invaluable. For every customer advocate you have, you can bank on his or her social media connections, which can easily run to an audience of hundreds (or more, much more).
