It’s a funny question, actually, for those of us in the digital marketing space.
I, for one, would never think about whether or not I had to hire a mechanic to fix my car. I don’t have the first clue how to complete a car repair. Similarly, while I’m a halfway decent baker, I wouldn’t dream of offering to create a fabulous wedding cake for a friend. And, when I’m sick, as much as I may fancy myself a fictitious doctor, I rely on the pros for diagnosis and treatment.
Digital marketing — the business of being found on Google and getting would-be customers to visit your website and take action — is both an art and a science. To be successful, at the risk of sounding cliche, hope is not a good strategy.
Knowledge of search engine optimization, creating community through social media and, of course, Google’s Holy Grail of Requests, making sure you have the highest possible quality content, is critically important to a company’s digital marketing success.
It’s very easy to spend money on marketing. There are plenty of companies willing to take your money. But can they deliver any better than I could fix your car?
Small Business Trends did a study recently concluding 98 per cent of small businesses know being found on Google is very important to their bottom line. The same survey revealed that a whopping 45 per cent of small business owners have no idea was SEO means.
There is only one solution to this conundrum. Unless you, yourself, are a digital marketing whiz, you need to reach out to someone who is. It’s imperative to find a company with the experience and dedication to take the time to get to know you and your company. Understanding your audience is an important part of creating a plan of action to grow your web traffic and leads.
No digital marketing strategy is perfect. Any company that tries to sell you that bill of goods is not the one for you. Digital marketing is a fluid business. The rules change and new ideas, like in any business, fuel optimized ways of getting the job done.
