How Experienced and Expert Online Marketers Can Help Enterprises Move up the Competitive Ladder

If having a website is obligatory for any enterprise large or small, then it is equally necessary to have the right supporting and expert SEO service. Without a solid SEO foundation, a website just does not achieve the traction it requires to move up the competitive ladder.

Search engine optimization or SEO, on the face of it, is apparently easy. It involves some keyword research, link building, analytics, a bit of social media, content marketing and blogging with a PR here and there.

One might argue that there is no need to bring in a third party SEO expert when in-house staff can take care of these little things. These little things, however, add up to a larger whole that is quite complex if looked at in depth.

SEO today is an art and science blended with experience and expertise. It is also time-consuming and does cost money. Still, however, for a company to generate traffic and revenues it is a wise thing to assign internet marketing to those who have resources, skilled people, and capability.

Let’s consider one by one all that that goes into a simple term SEO.

How to write content that’s loved by Google and your website visitors both? This is one issue bloggers and content writers have been grappling with for years. The balancing act (I think) is the most difficult job to do.

On one hand, you have Google which tells you “Write content for end audience and do not over stuff your content with keywords?” and on the other, you have websites visitors who will just bounce from your website without finding anything of relevance on your website.

When Google says, “Write for the website visitors – it is lying”.

Landing pages are important, as they are the pages that get visitors to consider signing up for a newsletter, getting a free copy of your e-book, or ultimately buying a product or a service you’re offering. A website’s lead generation efforts and conversions hinge heavily on how effective a landing page is, and that is something all good inbound marketers know.

However, when a landing page doesn’t deliver the expected leads and conversions, there must be something wrong with it. Take a closer look at your site’s current landing page, and see if it has one, two, or any of the following possible reasons it is not working as it should be.

How do you reach your customers and potential customers? If you have a brick-and-mortar store, of course, you still reach them in person and over the phone, and possibly through local events. But even local stores can’t rely just on that physicality anymore: They have to have the ability to reach customers through social media.

In fact, every company that wants to build a solid future must look to what they’re doing on social media, and figure out how they can do it better. That’s because more and more people spend more and more of their time and efforts on the variety of platforms out there—up to about two hours a day, according to some estimates. And if you’re not putting best practices into use right now, then you’re missing out on opportunities for connection and community.

What are those social media marketing best practices and how can you follow them? This graphic explains it.
