See all 5 Ways To Make The Internet Work For You In a recent study, the Internet was found to be the most influential form of media when it comes to driving consumer decision making on products and services. More on that here While you may be aware of the power of online marketing, it can be difficult to know where to put your focus. Here we have outlined what we believe to be the 5 most important online avenues to pursue. Top 5 Ways To Get Online Traffic Through Your Doors: Your Website - Not only do you need to have one, but you need to make sure your website is inviting and easy to use. An outdated or dysfunctional website will turn visitors away, but an up-to-date, appealing website that is easy to navigate can seal the deal. Learn more Search Engine Optimization - It's quite a mouthful, but the results speak for themselves. After your website is up to par, good SEO will make it easy for web traffic to find you in the search engines. After all, what good is a website if nobody can find it? More on the importance of SEO Local Search - Bing, Google, Yahoo... all the search engines have their own versions of local search, where certain keywords cause you and your competitors to pop up automatically with address, phone number and area map. Make sure you are listed there among your competitors, and make sure all your info is up to date! Learn more Online Display Ads - Advertisements on local websites (other than your own) are an easy way to hijack traffic, whether it's a local news site, chamber of commerce, high-traffic blog or online city guide. The local site has done all the hard work for you (building traffic), and all you have to do is come along with an eye-catching advertisement and snatch up their audience. More on this topic Facebook - It's not just that it's the new thing to do; it's the fact that EVERYBODY'S doing it. Not only is it a quick and cost-effective (read:free) way to reach your loyal customers, but there are plenty of "extras" and marketing avenues to help you appeal to new customers. Plus, they offer stats so you know exactly what's working and what's not.
