The Lockdown imposed by the government not only put a break to the economic wheel but even raised  a question mark on the functioning of micro, small and medium scale business. Bigger companies can somehow manage themselves because of their cash buffer but what about others? The answer is not at all pleasing and the worst is yet to come.

increase your digital presence

 

The following steps will help

 

Website creation

First step is to develop a website which is optimized for all screen size, operating systems and browsers. Also including XML files which help the search engine bots to crawl your site. 

 

Adding relevant information and using correct keywords will help the site to rank better in search results. Adding sitemaps is also a good idea as users can navigate through your website easily especially when your site has multiple pages. If your site has much content then creating directories will declutter your website and enhance the user experience.

 

Social media handles

Social Media Marketing handles whether Facebook, Instagram, pinterest etc all can really boost awareness about your business in a short span of time if used strategically. It means you have to continuously put in a whole lot of  effort to maintain it and content should engage the audience. 

Not only small companies but bigger companies like Mercedes, Coca cola are also maintaining their social media pages by posting some really high quality content.

 

Analytics

This is the way of measuring results of your efforts till now in increasing your digital presence. 

Using analytical tools, we can know which keywords are driving the audience or which social media channel is working best for us and we can fine tune our strategy based upon it. 

There are many metrics available through which you can gauge whether users are liking your content or not, where they are spending their time on your content. How many are actually interacting with your content and list is long. You can choose what metric best works for you.

 

Blogs

Adding blogs not only drives more traffic to your website but also helps you to engage with your target audience. Blog not only provides relevant information but brings relevant leads by adding a subscribe button or other call to action. But you can’t just relax by adding just 1 blog, you have to post quality content regularly in a planned manner.

 

Keywords

Choosing generic keywords will bring heavy traffic but do they actually bring quality traffic also? The answer is NO. Generic keywords are generally short tail keywords which may correspond to many different queries a person is looking for. So the answer to this problem is using long tail keywords which are very particular and will bring low traffic but of high quality.

Lets understand this by an example, for a digital marketing company say Aiming Solutions the keywords like seo will be short tail and doesn’t mean that people searching for seo actually want a professional service. But long tail keywords like best seo agency for your business may bring people who want to have some professional help.

 

Paid Ads

This is based upon your spending capacity and budget, various strategies can be employed to get the most out of every penny. You can run short duration campaigns to boost our sales to increase awareness about your business among the masses. 

Gone are the days when companies needed to invest huge amount to increase awareness about their brand, now they do it smartly using online paid promotions which is much cheaper and have a higher success rate as compared to offline promotions.
