Remember, to the search engines, the Internet is like a giant grocery store. Much of the information online has a “sell by” date on it. Ongoing updates and new content are standard components to any business’ online marketing and social media program. We manage many of the elements above for your business continuously; at a price level, you are most comfortable with.
Conceptualize and Produce a Professional-quality Landing Page and Thank You Video
To take your site ranking to the next level, you need a compelling video that holds visitors on your site. You want to reduce “bounce back” and keep visitors involved. The best way to accomplish this is with a well-conceived video presentation. Moreover, this landing page video must line up with your video commercials and your ads. When all these elements are properly orchestrated, with keywords and back links, you increase your sites’ “ranking” and thereby boost your results. We will design, edit and create a video of approximately 1-2 minutes in length for a landing page designed around a specific offer. The video will be both informative and compelling and will include appropriate transitions, call outs and background music — all designed to engage the viewer’s interest and motivate them to take action. In addition, this can be structured so as to capture visitor contact information (“opt-in”) for effective follow up. That said, an appropriate “thank you” video will also be provided.
Set-up On-going E-Mail/Mobile Campaign
With the opportunity to continue offering new items or potential savings to the same customer, we suggest creating an email campaign with pre-written messages that can be scheduled and sent over time using an auto-responder. This could be designed to promote other products or services in a logical order and also enable you to send out an announcement about any specials you wish to promote to your list of prospects.
Submit Videos
The effectiveness of web video depends upon monthly submission to search engines. This requires careful attention to detail to enter keyword titles, descriptions, tags and back links. This strategy will also help improve your existing sites organic ranking. We will submit the completed videos to appropriate video, pod-cast, social network and blog sites. The number of unique videos, six, will be paired with a new keyword phrase each month and resubmitted for maximum exposure.
Create a Special Report / Coupon Offer to capture leads
An effective way to build leads with whom you can follow up by email, mobile text message—even voice mail or postcards—is to offer something of value for free in exchange for their follow up contact information. Typically, we start with the email address and add other contact data over time, once trust has been established.
We will write a special report/buyer’s guide /coupon offer for your business to give away online in exchange for prospects’ email addresses and set it up for cost-effective, automatic online (or text message) delivery.
Automated Text Message Follow Up Campaign
In addition to the automated email follow up campaign we set up for you in conjunction with your mini-Website, we will also set up an automated text message follow-up campaign for your business designed to appeal to mobile phone-using prospects.
We will develop the offer, write the text messages for the follow-up campaign and set up the automatic system. We will also integrate the system with other channels like your Twitter feed where appropriate.
Video and Article Burst Campaigns
Once we have established your presence through your Website, YouTube Channel, directories, blog, Facebook page, Twitter Feed and LinkedIn Profile, it is very effective to create occasional bursts of content and activity to increase visibility and drive traffic. We do this though online video and article campaigns—specifically called Gold and Premium campaigns.
These campaigns rely on a content strategy that emphasizes Q & A format videos that align with terms and solutions your prospective customers search for online. We create ten (Gold package) or 20 (Premium package) videos and articles and distribute them to scores of video hosting sites and articles which drive traffic back to the lead capture mechanism we have built in your mini-Website. The other videos include thank you videos, offer videos and “about us” videos, which include an introductory offer to purchase from your company.
These campaigns are very powerful for kick starting an online marketing program and regenerating awareness and interest in your company and the information and products/services you offer.
Managed Pay-Per-Click Search Engine Sponsored Ads
Another way to drive traffic and increase visibility in the search engines is through paid advertising in the search engines—mainly Google, but also Yahoo! and Bing. This is a complementary strategy that also legitimizes your company when positioned together with organic results in the search engines.
We do the work for you—identify keywords and craft the sponsored ads that drive traffic to your mini-Website. There are three monthly dollar levels or you can specify a different monthly amount you wish us to spend and manage on your behalf. NOTE: A 25% management fee is built into the monthly amount.
