DIGITAL MARKETING
Digital marketing is a way to promote brands and products online and through
other digital channels. Most businesses have a specific audience they are trying to
reach, and digital marketing aims to help businesses reach these target consumers
through the Internet and other digital avenues.
Using digital marketing, you can reach an enormous audience in a way that is both
cost-effective and measurable. ... Better cost efficiency, more data to inform better
decisions, and building on customer trust are just a few of the advantages to be
gained from digital marketing.

Online marketing allows you to boost your business website and online sales, by
making your business more visible and accessible to a wider range of consumers
who are already searching for products/services in your industry. It is easy to see
how digital marketing helps businesses connect with their customer base
Aside from targeting potential customers efficiently, digital marketing tactics also
enable companies to track their campaign progress in real-time to see what works
and what doesn't. It allows marketers to adapt fast, especially in the fast-changing
online world.
Digital marketing analytics is the translation of customer behavior into actionable
business data. Today's marketers can use digital analytics tools to examine the many
online channels their buyers might interact with and identify new revenue
opportunities from existing campaigns
A competitive analysis is a very critical part while working out a marketing plan for
any company. It is identifying the competitors and evaluating their strategies to
determine their strengths and weaknesses relative to those of your product or
service. With this evaluation, you can establish your USP (Unique Selling
Proposition) and therefore decide on what attributes you can focus on to attract
your target market.
SEO
SEO is a set of rules for optimizing your website so that it can achieve higher rankings in the search engine's organic results. The majority of search engine traffic goes to the top 5results. With SEO your website can appear in one of the top positions for your target keywords and get visits to your website.
Organic SEO is an online marketing strategy made up of smaller sub-strategies, like keyword research and link building, that help your website rank at the top of organic, unpaid search engine results pages
While traditional SEO focuses on improving your site's visibility on a national or global scale, local SEO allows you to capture local search territory to connect with searchers in your area.
3 - 6 months is generally a good time frame to see notable results from SEO. During the 6 to 12-month time frame, you will see the largest gains. It's an investment that requires maintenance and on-going attention to see any sustainable results.
If you stop paying attention to SEO, you will lose rankings for certain searches you focused a lot of resources on in the past. It’s never a good idea to just quit digital marketing. The longer you keep SEO going, the longer those results will last, everything you do in the future will produce benefits you expect and keep fuelling your search engine success. The longer you keep it going, the longer those results will last.
No one can guarantee number one or even first page rankings on Google, and you should not believe anyone who promises otherwise. Aiming for a page one ranking on Google can often be a moving target. What you should be looking for is a measurable increase in targeted traffic that drives people actively looking for your products or services to your website. This is what will convert into leads and potential sales, and this is what we focus on for all our clients.
SEO is similar to any other form of marketing –your spending will always be dependent on your budget, objectives, and what you hope to achieve. The amount you spend will depend on the output of work and the timeframe of expected results.

Content Marketing
Content marketing involves the creation and sharing of online material (such as videos, blogs, and social media posts) The goal of content marketing is to provide valuable, genuinely helpful information to consumers for free, to create a relationship with them based on trust, which eventually leads them to make a purchase or stimulate interest in its products or services.
A Blog is the part of your website that’s constantly updated. Every time you post a piece of writing – which you might hear called a post or article – it shows up on your blog.
Consistent, engaging, and high-quality content impacts an audience more than any other technique. Content writing allows your brand to create cohesive pieces of information.
Blogging allows you to create relevant content for your customers. Use this as a marketing tactic to drive traffic back to your website, post links - with relevant visuals - of your blog articles to your social sites. Give your social followers a reason to click through to your website
The frequency of blog posts depends on what's best for your company. Smaller businesses have found comfort and success posting one to four times a week, while larger companies can push out daily and, sometimes, multiple daily posts
Every industry and every demographic sees different content consumption patterns. Companies that post fresh content an average of three to five times a month or around once a week tend to see twice as much website traffic as companies that do not post at all
PPC
Pay Per Click advertising, (PPC), is a type of online advertising used on many search engines and website networks across the worldwide web where an advertiser is charged only when their ad is clicked on. The purpose of PPC is to aid in driving quality and targeted traffic to a website in a cost-effective manner.
The main difference between Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Pay Per Click (PPC) is that traffic coming from SEO (organic) is free while traffic generated from PPC is not free.
PPC doesn’t have to be expensive if you have the correct setup to optimize your campaigns correctly. It’s all about being intelligent with your targeting and keywords and ensuring you’re monitoring performance closely. Campaigns can be paused at any point - so if we find a particular search term is becoming too competitive, then we stop and review and make the necessary changes needed.
It all depends on your website-business as the cost can vary, as some industries are more competitive than others, leading to higher average costs per click.
One of the main benefits of pay-per-click marketing is that it provides almost instant feedback. Once your ad campaigns are set up and running, they will immediately start driving targeted traffic to your website.
Each month we'll send you a detailed report with information on your campaigns. You can also log into your Google Analytics or Google AdWords account to view data on your campaign performance.
