Social Media Gets Down To Business


Today's companies need to harness the advantage that a Social Media Campaign gives them. Looking at the benefits, they are too important to ignore:

1 • Elevates the Company's Web Site in page rank for searches -- be found by prospective new business opportunities.

2 • Builds Positive PR - people speaking well of your brand, your service, and their experience doing business with you.

3 • Gets your products and services in front of thousands of people who would otherwise not know about what your company offers
.

4 • Creates a dynamic network of online buzz about what your company is currently up to.

Let's touch on each benefit.

First, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) can only go so far, no matter how much money you throw at it. SEO is a popularity context with the search engines, but you can influence, but never determine, the final outcome Social Media Campaigns offer that additional way to build a mass of links (link popularity) that act like signposts pointing back to your company's main web site, thereby raising your page rank with Google and Yahoo.

SEO is a moving target because of constant changes in
(a) the market,
(b) your competitor's online actions, and
(c) the search engine's rules for page rank

That means the reality is that the SEO that worked 8 months ago is much less potent now. The moral is that:

• SEO needs to be refreshed every 6 months
• SEO needs to be augmented with ongoing boosts from Social Media Campaigns


Regarding the benefit of the Positive PR that Social Media can generate for your company: Word of mouth has moved online. Your prospects are already using social media to see what the "word on the street" is before taking action to trust their business to you. When they search, you want them to find positive reflections about your products and services.

See our past two blog posts for details on strategic ways to manage what people are saying about your brand -- and how to leverage it for positive cash flow.
