And now, the Marketing Plan!
5. Finding Your Business
Are you marketing to a service zone, a local community or a region?
Many people will search local businesses using their mobile phones.
Geographical Location:
♦ Put your business on Google Places for Business.
♦ Put a pin detailing your address, phone and website on
Google Maps.
♦ Add a business page on Facebook with your location
information – preferably with street view pictures
♦ For walk-in traffic, list in services like Foursquare
♦ Check Yelp; listen & respond to customers’ concerns!
♦ If you advertise with brochures or door hangers, add a
QR code to lead people to your website.
6. Search Engine Location:
♦ Use Search Engine Optimization onsite and offsite
♦ Get your site ranked for common keyword searches
♦ Use Google Adwords to discover popular search
phrases; enter them into Google to view the
competition. Visit their sites to determine the extent
of their competitiveness for ranking; if they are
well-established, you will have to rank for alternate
phrases, or out-perform them with a superior SEO
strategy.
♦ Make sure you embed Google Analytics to track your
results!
Onsite SEO:
n Make a list of 50 keyword phrases
n Use priority keyword phrases in page headers,
page meta information, page content (about 1/
100 words), link anchor text, and footer
n Blog Article Content – one blog post weekly
containing a keyword phrase. Posts can be about
250-500 words long.
Offsite SEO:
n Use social media to create backlinks leading to
your content (more on this later)
n Publish blog content to article directories, blog
networks
n Create alternate media formats of your blog post:
text, PowerPoint Slides, PDF reports, Audio and
Video.
n Example sites:
u Text à Article Directories (Goarticles.com)
u Slides à Slideshare.com
u PDF Reports à Scribd.com
u Audio à Podomatic.com
u Video à Youtube, Tubemogul distribution
7. Social Media Location:
♦ Sign up for accounts at:
n Facebook
n Twitter
n Google Plus
♦ Optional:
n Stumbleupon
n Digg
n Delicious
n LinkedIn
n Pinterest
n Tumblr
♦ It’s a good idea to carry over the same banner/header
in all of these sites. This creates design consistency
and recognition value. Also, use the same user name
as much as possible.
♦ To get the most out of social media, see the Social
Media Team Plan on the Rogue Star Studio website
at:
http://roguestarstudio.com/category/social-media-team-plan/
♦ This will orient you and your team to unified activity.
Use the simple daily or weekly plan outlined in the post
“Quick Social Media Steps for Your Team.”
These steps are just a beginning. Numerous other websites and
services all enhance your search engine findability and social media
relevance. An organized approach will deliver concrete traffic. More
traffic means more customers and a growing referral network for
your future success!
8. Demonstrating Your Suitability
Prospective customers visit your website to make a decision that
will solve their problems. To that end, they seek information to base
that decision on.
If your website doesn’t provide that information directly, or offer the
promise of a solution with further inquiry, the customer may find
those answers from your competitors.
List your services clearly!
You may list your pricing, or not – this is not always essential. The
customer needs to know that a) you have the service they seek,
and b) it falls within their budget. If you don’t list your prices, your
site design should illustrate the market you service:
n Economy – prices based on competitiveness
n Value – medium service for medium prices
n Premium – high quality service for exclusive prices
9. Evaluate your target market tier. Your customers will seek signs
that your business suits them. Here, the design of your site sends
certain messages – so it’s vital to get this right. If you are not
certain, seek the help of an experienced designer.
In all of these cases, a cookie-cutter free website sends one
message very clearly: you are not serious about business, let alone
the satisfaction of the customer.
To greatly enhance your chances here, you’ll need:
n A dedicated, Top-Level domain (.com)
n A well-organized website with:
• Clear content
• Complete information
• Clean layout and navigation
• No unnecessary information (like meta-links and
branded attribution links that come with free sites)
• Interactive elements like forms, maps and social
media updates
10. Additionally, your site can include a sign-up form to receive a
weekly newsletter. This activity is known in marketing circles as
“List-Building” – and represents one of the more popular results-
driven activities with marketers. List building can:
n Continue to educate your prospective clients
n Reinforce brand awareness in old and new clients
n Increase your referral network
n Generate repeat business
nTake some pressure from depending on new
customers only
n Provide an ongoing channel to market new products
and services with self-selected prospects
To obtain these advantages, you’ll need:
n A working sign-up form
n A list-building /email service
n An email series
• These consist of about 10 posts of 250 words each
• Send out a weekly post
• The content can be informative and a bit more
personal or promotional than a regular blog post
• Include location and map information
• Enhance content with an HTML template for a nice
design; if you include images, remind readers to
click to allow images in their email menu
• As with blog posts, include a Call To Action at the
end; these may include:
o Promotional action steps
o Buy Now Buttons
o Read More
o Visit your website or social media page to
interact with a poll or contest
o Refer a friend
o Other – get creative!
11. Creating a sign-up form on your website can be complicated but it
doesn’t have to be. Popular services include:
n Listwire (free & unlimited)
n Mailchimp (free to a limit)
n Aweber (paid)
You can write your email series yourself, or hire someone to do it
for you. For an economic option, consider using PLR.
Private Label Rights content is bulk writing under a shared license.
Other people may use this content as well; but since it’s going into
an email series, and not search engine indexing, then duplication
doesn’t really matter.
Just make sure you get content written by a professional. PLR tends
to go for about $1 per article and is often sold in packs of 5-15
articles. Avoid packs of 100-1000, since these are probably not of
good quality.
Your email series should reinforce your credibility. It might also
create a running benefit for your readers to gain knowledge in step-
by-step form.
12. Establish Your Trustworthiness
Now you’ve provided your readers with the information they seek,
and you’ve done it with a great website design and online marketing
plan.
All of these elements work together to establish your credibility and
trust in the customers’ eyes.
Your website can increase its ranking in search engine inquiries.
Your content gets shared through social media. Your customers
interact with your website and get their unknowns turned into
knowns. Your profitability compounds value with each new customer
you win!
13. A good website demonstrates your enterprise’s trustworthiness by
showing:
Maintenance and Care – your website is up to date and
contemporary elements in design, social activity and usability
Recency – you maintain an active participation online and care
about your website, your business, and your communications
Activity – Customers find out about you using their favorite online
channels: be it a Google Search, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Maps
or more.
Your website has become much more than a placeholder!
It has become a vital channel driving business to your
doorstep.
