How to get a positively unfair advantage in business in as little as two months with SEO!
We hear the question all the time, "how much should I spend on Facebook ads," or "I just launched my new business/product, how do I drive more traffic on social media?" 🤔 I wish our answer could be as simple as "start with organic marketing, build a following, and launch a movement that influences people to buy from you," but it's not that simple. 😤
Social media is a powerful tool for business owners to engage directly with their target audiences and hold conversations that build your know, like and trust factor. But that's just one small piece to the bigger picture.
As an experiment, think of a small business up and coming on social media (not a widely-known brand). Let's say they're a business that sells puppy sweaters (everybody loves puppies). You liked a few of their posts in the past, they cookied you, and now you see them everywhere on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, etc ... Now Google "Puppy Sweaters." I'm willing to bet they don't appear on the first page of Google and if they do, they're probably not within the top three results. 😲
So what's the point? If they're running a successful business on social media, why should I care, and can't I do the same thing and also have success? Sure you can. However, here's what you need to know that most people talk about as if it were a taboo topic they don't want their kids to hear. 🤫
Search Engine Optimization!
More people are shopping online now than ever before. Since COVID-19, we've seen businesses make a HUGE shift to accommodate everyone staying at home and social distancing. More restaurants started listing themselves on DoorDash, UberEats, Favor, Grubhub, etc. Convenience stores built online eCommerce pages, realtors started hosting virtual tours. The list goes on.
While social media IS an effective tool, it's not the only tool you should be using. So don't put all your eggs in one basket! According to a study we read about, SEO drives 1000%+ more traffic than organic social media (BrightEdge Research).
So if you got 10 visitors every day who spent $1 from your organic social media marketing ($300/mo), then you're missing out on potentially $300,000+ every month if you neglected your SEO. That's a LOT of money you're leaving on the table ... 😳 What do you think you could do for your business and the people you serve with an additional $299,700?
