Online Marketing Ideas
Keeping Pace With Consumer Shopping Habits
When you stop to think about it, the internet has revolutionized how and where consumers shop. One reason you need to care about your SEO (Search Engine Marketing) is this; search engines play a major role in the purchase of products or services.
If you are not sure how to structure your SEO strategy, then I suggest thinking like someone shopping for your services. What phrase will they use in Google to find what they need which connects them to your business?
A common mistake is to configure SEO equity based on a business name. With the free business listings in Google and Bing, automatically search engines algorithms will connect your business name with your services. But, if you have a brand name you want to solder into search engines, that requires a different type of SEO strategy.

Currently, Siri is narrowly focused and limited to retail type of questions. For example, find a plumber or an electrician. Or, where is the nearest coffee store. Another example is searching for one type of food or restaurant. Keep a finger on the pulse of Siri. You can bet it will achieve refinement in the ongoing quest to enhance how search engines are culled for results. Why not define your Siri results today, and use that to begin molding your future SEO campaigns?
Lastly, if you want to stop or reduce that pesky tracking of your internet actions while you browse, I suggest putting this handy, simple app to work: STANDS which is an extension in Chrome - standsapp.org.
