With so many channel options such as social media, search engine optimisation and email marketing available, knowing which tactic will deliver the best results for your business is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack!
This article will give you a heads up on the tried and tested foundational tactics we use as a base to build online revenue and growth.
Google Analytics is a powerful free tool that makes it simple for your business to understand how visitors are using your website. The data in Google Analytics will help you to understand what is working on your website and what parts of your online marketing may need help. It will reveal all kinds of information ranging from demographics to popular pages.
If your website does not have analytics installed and set up correctly, you are hurting your business.
It is an absolute must for an effective online marketing plan. Every digital marketing agency will have Google Analytics installed as a priority and you should too.
To set up your Google Analytics, you will firstly need to create a Google account. Once you have set this up, install the tracking code via your “Source Code”, and within a day the data will start to filter through. With your tracking code now in place, Google Analytics can provide you with a multitude of metrics like traffic sources, page views, bounce rate, most popular pages, time on site and much more.
Here, you can find a step by step guide from Google on how to set this up. If you think it looks too technical to tackle on your own, your web developer will be able to help you.
Businesses that have their information verified with a Google My Business listing are twice as likely to be seen as a reputable business by visitors. When a potential customer finds your business on Google search or Google maps, ensure they can easily access information like your hours, website and phone number.
With your Google My Business listing, you can easily read and respond to reviews. This helps to build trust and demonstrates your value. A great starting point to generate quality leads.
Should you add some photos? Research shows that businesses that add photos to their Google My Business listing receive 42% more requests for directions on Google Maps, and 35% more clicks through to their website.
We strongly advise investing time to set up your Google My Business listing. Your small investment of time will provide ongoing exposure and better engagement with your website delivering more opportunity for your sales team.
Without a doubt, if you are running ad campaigns to attract new business, you should have a Facebook pixel installed. Now before you decide against facebook because it isn’t right for your business, we would urge you to at least try a lead generation campaign. We have proven that any business can effectively grow their leads using the platform. B2B included!
You can track content downloads, forms completed, pages viewed, newsletter sign-ups and much more.
You can also track people who have visited your website but not taken any action. By using this data, you can re-market to these potential leads with a new message that will encourage them to come back to your website or other digital channels for more information.
Another major advantage of using your pixel is to tap into a “lookalike audience”. In a nutshell, Facebook will use the data from your pixelled audience and target a totally new group of people who match the characteristics. It is an extremely powerful and effective tactic to grow your leads and sales pipeline. The lookalike audience tactic has created remarkable lead generation results for some of our clients.
