Using Social Sites as Search Engines

Many of us use Google is a search engine where websites or blogs can be found. We are finding that a lot of people don’t realize that people are searching for them on Social media sites and; are using them as search engines. Many high level executives, sales teams and other business people search for you after you give them your business card – on Google to see what else they can learn about you. They also search for you in Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+.

There are ways to make your self visible in search results in the social media platforms by configuring your profiles in such a way where the words in the right places help drive traffic to you, very similar to how it would work in a website.

If you have never closed business on LinkedIn or Facebook, our challenge is for you. Let us look at your profiles to see how they are configured with a Free social media analysis. We can let you know the things you are doing right and if changes should be made to enhance your online presence.

Blogs Drive Traffic to Your Website

When you search for something on the Internet, Up to 50% of those search results take you to blogs. This is because blogs are drawing YOU in THEN direct you to a website. That means blogs have to be configured in a specific way to drive traffic to your website. Far too often I see brilliant blogs become stale and abandoned because the user isn’t educated on the best ways to draw traffic to it.

We help you Build the Like, Know, Trust relationship with your viewer by teaching you how to properly use blog content to enhance your social media marketing and drive traffic to your website.

We stand behind these three principles: Education, Ownership and Accountability. We want to educate you on how to manage your brand, which gives you ownership in your marketing and keeps you accountable for the success of your content sharing.

Knowledge is power

Investing In Social Media

Investing in social media IS investing in yourself.  I’ll pause for a minute and let you re-read that sentence.  It is that important.  Investing in social media IS investing in yourself.  No matter if you are a business owner or a sales rep, you are making several investment decisions every day.  You invest in the clothes you wear to a business meeting.  You invest in the tools of your business, your computer, your transportation, even the pictures on your office walls.  There is a story you are wanting to tell to your potential customers.  You invest in your story.

What better way to invest in your story, than by telling it on social media?  This is an investment in time, thought, and even training or support.  The choice is yours, but I am reminded of one of my favorite lyrics.  “If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.” (“Freewill” by Rush)  When a potential customer goes looking for you on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, or other social media outlets and finds nothing (or even worse no activity for over a year) what does that tell them about you and your business?  Are you still wearing bell-bottoms, or a suit from the 1980’s?  You have invested in yourself and with the changing times.  It is time to take a hard look at your social media investment, and what story it is telling everyone you want as customers.

Although social media sites are essentially "free" to create an account, social media marketing as a program is worth the investment in your business.  The results you receive are equivalent  to the investment you put behind them.
