The Importance of a Blog to Your Business

by Jeremy on April 11, 2010

As you have probably noticed, everyone and their dog has a blog. People are using blogs to either keep in touch with family and friends or just as a way to write their thoughts. Blogs appeal to the general public because it creates a way for them to connect to the people around them.

There are also many businesses that have realized the importance a blog makes to their business. Just like social networking or by using social media websites like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc. you can stay connected with the people in your community or space. Blogs are important to business because it gives you one more avenue to can use to connect with your existing or potential customers. Unfortunately, many business owners don’t feel that they either have that time or knowledge to manage a blog.

By using a blog you can stay connect to your customers and give them a way to interact with your business. Many businesses that are currently utilizing a blog use it as a marketing tool for new products, company news, to announce special events, contests or sales. They also use them as a way to give their business a personal touch. When a consume is able to connect to a business they feel more comfortable and confident in your company.

BlogAs with social marketing, there is the possibility that you may have a mixed number of happy or unhappy customers. It is extremely important to manage those relationships with your customers.

You also need to watch for any complaints or negativity as those can create a bad name for your business. Take care of your clients concerns. They will be more likely to do business with you in the future if you can help them with the issues they are having.

PPC vs. SEO – Which is Better?

by Jeremy on February 26, 2010

One of the most common questions that I get asked when I am working with a client that is fairly new to the Internet marketing world is “Where should I start, PPC or SEO?” To be honest it is kind of a loaded question. To be honest, they are both extremely important in establishing your presence online and do two different things for you.

  • Pay-Per-Click: If you are just getting started online and your main goal is to drive traffic to your site so you can test your website’s conversion rate, make improvements but don’t want to wait weeks or even months, PPC is the way to go. All of the main search engines have PPC programs that you can get started with in a short amount of time. Over the years, PPC has kind of got a bad wrap because you can waste a lot of money, very quickly. That could be true if you don’t do you research, know your demand, competition and have a budget.
  • SEO. If you would like to build a brand, build a network and get your website ranked on the organic listing of the search engines that you have got to research the keywords that are relevant to your business, analyze your competition, optimize your website for the search engines and visitors and build links. Those are the steps that make up Search Engine Optimization. Even though this process can take some time to prove effective, it is necessary if you would like to compete with the more established businesses that have been online for a while.

If you are looking to bring your business online, but you are not sure where to start, we can definitely help. We have worked with thousands of Internet businesses, new and experienced and have helped them take their business to the next level. Take a look at DakilaMarketing.com, a Utah SEO Company today!

Would Your Business Benefit By Using Social Media?

by Jeremy on January 26, 2010

A lot of people use social media to connect with their friends and family members. Social media has grown at an unheard of rate over the last few years. Take Facebook for example. Last year they passed MySpace as the most popular social networking website on the Internet. Last week I saw a stat saying over 300 million people use it. That is almost the entire population of the United States. That is just crazy.

The great thing about social media is that it is not just limited to personal use. Many businesses, both big and small are seeing the value in connecting to existing or potential customers using social media sites like Twitter, Facebook and others. Many of the top social sites are now giving businesses various ways that they can market themselves by creating fan pages or business profiles.

Social media is the next generation of Internet marketing so you better get on board and start networking. For more information on Social Media or Utah SEO Company, take a look at DakilaMarketing.com.
