Quick and Easy SEO Checklist

Have you ever wondered why your website does not appear in search, or why the competition is higher up on the search results lists?  It might be that your website is not performing well in search because of the copy, or even configuration issue on the back end with your load times. Search engine optimization (SEO), and general website optimization could be the steps needed to bring consumer leads to your site.
Getting a website to perform well in search is as much an art as it is a science. Enticing users to find and click on your site takes effort and sometimes some dollars. Finding the right keywords for your business and checking all the SEO boxes can make a great difference giving you a competitive advantage.
Even when most of your business is done at a physical location, a strong local SEO campaign can significantly increase your growth potential. SEO strategies are specifically designed to help brick and mortar businesses thrive within their market space. These techniques help introduce your brand to everyone searching for businesses or products “near me.” Get a Free Evaluation & Proposal with proven cost-effective solution that delivers results.
It is simple to get started on your local SEO campaign. The dedicated Next Move Marketing team will evaluate keywords, examine your current search engine standings, evaluate you page load times and find all the opportunities for improvements and big wins.

Your Christmas List?

12/8/2016

0 Comments

 
If your business could sit with Santa this holiday season, what would it ask from Santa for the New Year? You have to be quick! Remember, there are other little businesses waiting to talk with the big guy in red. Would it ask for shiny new customers? Increased brand awareness? More time in the day? Higher quality clientele? Perhaps some recognition for a job well done?

I am sure each business owner could come up with a long list of wants; however I am not so sure Santa’s elves at the North Pole know how to build brand awareness, or how to wrap more time in pretty paper and a big bow. Santa most likely won’t bring you a high quality client and leave them under your tree.

So now what? Do we no longer believe in Christmas Magic?  Say it isn’t so, Virginia! Santa and his elves may not be able to help you, but perhaps it’s not Santa you should be asking. Next Move Marketing would love to hear your business’s Christmas list so we can bring some Christmas Magic to your New Year. We do know how to build your brand. Our elves can take marketing and PR tasks off your plate, allowing you more time to focus on the core competencies of your business. Contact Next Move Marketing. We want to check off your business Christmas list, and like Rudolph’s red nose, guide you into a bright New Year.

While summer vacationers are kicking back, it's time for your business to kick in your marketing plan! According to Travelweek News, the average person spends three hours a day on a device, in comparison with two and a half hours working on their tan, while on their summer vacation. This is prime time to kick it in and go full throttle with your social media marketing. 

The top five social channels used are Pinterest(14%), Twitter(24%), YouTube(25%), Instagram(32%), topping off with Facebook(77%).  People are posting photos and checking in at their vacation spots. Imagine vacationers laying out by a pool, a beach, or a lake as they entertain themselves and keep in touch via social media.  Take this business opportunity to keep in touch with your clients and promote future business. 

Don't spend your summer in first gear, heat up your marketing plan today and get your business cruising in sixth gear! Burnt out by what content to post, who your target market could be, or how you can catch their attention? Rejuvenate with Next Move Marketing.

It’s a Small (Screen) World After All

4/18/2016

What experience does your web audience gets when they visit your website? I’m sure you carefully cultivated it to represent you and your company. But what about tablet visitors? Smart TVs? What about your own cell phone? Do they get the same kind of experience? Go ahead, check it. I’ll wait….
What did you think? Not sure? Here’s the deal… With the average site receiving anywhere from 30% to 60% of its traffic from tablets and phones you have no choice how, when, where, or on what your audience chooses to connect with you.  Having a mobile-friendly site is no longer a luxury or an upgrade. It is a requirement to succeed in this multi-device world.
It is a simple question. How does your website perform on small screens? But the answer is more complex. Does it look good on your devices? How easy is it to navigate?  Is your site Mobile Responsive?  A responsive site gives you the best opportunity to deliver a good user experience for your audience no matter what device they are using.
 The fastest way to test if your website is using responsive design is to check your site using a computer:   
  1. Open your favorite web browser.
  2. Make sure the browser is open as a window, not in full screen mode.
  3. Take your mouse to the bottom right corner of the browser window and drag it to make the window smaller.
  • If you see your content shifting and adjusting to the new dimensions of the browser window, your site is most likely responsive.
  • If your content on screen simply gets covered as the edges come in, your site is not responsive.

Still curious what you look like mobile? The easiest way is to try accessing your website on numerous devices. If you don’t have access to different brands and styles, go to a store that sells multiple devices and test them out. Hey, if you’re a bit of a tech nerd like me, playing with different tablets can be a lot of fun, (but that’s a whole different post).

So What If You’re Not Using Responsive Design? It’s simple. You aren’t managing what your audience experiences.  Your website is given less credibility by search engines and drops lower in web search results. Think about the implications of that. Google and other search engines are the primary way your mobile audience is going to find you, but also your competition. A site that isn’t mobile responsive puts you a step behind before you even get started!
 If you go through the above steps and realize that your website is not mobile responsive, don’t panic! There are plenty of ways for you to get started.  Contact Next Move Marketing and we can walk you through the process and improve that mobile experience.
