Can anyone find you if they search for “electronics retailer in Morris- town” or “best day spa near me?” Or do all of your competitors’ websites come up before yours on the results pages? Or is your site not bringing in the number of new leads (potential customers) that you were hoping for? Worse yet – do you not have a website at all? Our SEO specialists are pros at local search and getting your websites found by the search engines, while our web and content team know how to create affordable web- sites that will get you found, increase clicks, and bring in more sales. Social Media Marketing: Does social media make you want to crawl into a ball and cry? Let us help! Business owners are usually too busy to deal with social media themselves, or they just don’t want to touch it. Here’s why that won’t fly: Anyone under the age of 40 discovers a business for the first time in one of two ways: 1) Google searching or 2) Finding the company’s content on social media. If you’re not putting great content on social media, you’re going to become obsolete. Our social media team not only gets it, but they’re awesome at it – and they love doing it! Social Media Advertising: Consider these stats: • 50 million small businesses have Face- book pages • There are 2 billion active monthly Face- book users • 65% of those users scroll through their newsfeeds daily • 92% of marketers advertise for their employers on Facebook • 97% of consumers ages 18-24 read online reviews to judge a local business Social media is the most effective advertis- ing method you can utilize – you don’t need a big budget, and you can target your exact ideal customer by interest, demo- graphic, geography, past purchase habits, etc… Facebook ads in particular are a gold- mine for small business, but platforms like Instagram and YouTube can be winners for you, as well – it all depends on your exact type of business and your ideal customer.
