    Optometry Websites - Your Patients Are Looking For You - Are You There Yet?

    May 02, 2018 0
    Optometry Websites - Your Patients Are Looking For You - Are You There Yet?

    Here's a test scenario: Let's say your practice is named "Paradise Island Optometry" and you live in the Bahamas. (You wish, right?) You look for yourself online, and you type "Paradise Island Optometry" into Google or Yahoo. 

    Your website is the first result. Fabulous, right? Especially since your domain name is "paradiseislandoptometry.com." Your potential patients should have no problem finding you, right? Well, not if they already know about you, at least. And that's the potential problem for many optometry websites.
    No matter how wonderful your website is, you'll find that you get much more traffic if you appear in the search engine results for more general terms, besides just your practice name. (And if you don't even appear for your practice name-which is a particular challenge for those with very generic names-it's even more problematic.) Ideally, you should appear not just for "Paradise Island Optometry" but also "Bahamas optometrist" "Nassau optometry" and "glasses Bahamas."
    How can you ensure that patients can find you if they don't already know your name? It helps to know exactly what they're looking for. They may use terms similar to the examples above, as well as other terms. Start with conducting keyword research related to your practice via one of the many online keyword tools that are available. For instance, you may have an opportunity to have a potential patient find you by incorporating information on various eye conditions into your website. Someone who is experiencing spotty vision or another problem may find your site by seeking information on this symptom.

    These are the types of terms people use when they are looking for optometry websites
    This brings us to the next key point: be sure to include a strong local element in your site. Make sure your street address is prominently displayed on your site and visible to the search engines. Include a map, and include your town or region in your page titles. While a person who is doing Internet research on their spotty vision symptom in Nebraska may find your site useful, you're really looking for patients who are in the Bahamas (or wherever you are.) Notify Google Maps and Yahoo Local, as well as area review sites, about your practice, and you're more likely to appear for searches in your area.
    Once your potential patients find your site, make they have a reason to stay on your site and eventually schedule an appointment with you. Obviously, your site should look clean and professional-but it should also be easy to navigate and easy to contact you and book appointments. The best optometry websites excel at inspiring a sense of trust and well-being amongst potential patients, while offering in-demand information and convenient scheduling.
    Most doctors use less than 20% of the potential of their website for gaining new patients. A great looking website is only one part of getting patients from the internet. Are you getting as many patients as you can from yours?

    Online Marketing Overview for the Cash & Membership Chiropractic Office

    April 30, 2018 0
    Online Marketing Overview for the Cash & Membership Chiropractic Office

    Because online marketing is a vast universe of promotional opportunities it can also become an equally huge source of confusion for small business owners.

    Most chiropractors are no different.
    In a nutshell you should work your online marketing from 3 angles.
    1. Social Media Marketing
    2. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Marketing
    3. Advertising (Online Ads such as Google Ads) Marketing
    Arguably, all 3 approaches have equal importance in the world of marketing your small business online.
    Social Media Marketing
    You are no doubt familiar with social media.
    It's comprises the faddish world of sites that allow you to keep up with friends, family and celebrities all while telling everyone about everything going on in your own life - should you choose.

    Beyond the personal boundaries of social media, the business application can prove quite impactful by simply getting a well-crafted business page set up and driving traffic to it. From there just stay actively engaged with those people and you will accomplish top of mind awareness.
    Supply valuable and thought provoking content with an occasion self-serving promotion such as an upcoming Patient Appreciation Day.
    Once you are active on the 4 or 5 most popular social media sites, you may consider a platform such as Hootsuite (Hootsuite.com) that will allow you to post from one place and have it populate onto many social media platforms.
    SEO Marketing
    To break SEO marketing down into its most basic explanation coupled with advice, you want to create links pointing to your website.
    That simply means you want to create a ton of original content (just like this article is for my website) and put your website URL (address) somewhere in it so that people can click it and land on your site.

    People landing on your website is called your traffic.
    The more traffic you get, the cooler the search engines think you are and the more your phone will ring.
    Marketing with Paid Ads
    Another way to get traffic is to pay for it.
    Using Google as the obvious search engine example, you can run what are called Google Ads using their AdWords campaign function.
    To do this you simply need a Google account and some time on your hands to learn the basics of how to run ads.

    There is an art and science to running effective ads but well worth your time spent. My own Express Chiropractic office gets 40% of new patients from online marketing efforts, a percentage of which is well crafted paid ads.
    Another 40% of my patients come from unsolicited patient referrals. Why do I mention this in an online marketing article? Because if you put out all the time and effort it takes to build and maintain an effective online presence just to have those people come in and not have an incredible experience in your office then all that effort was for nothing.
    And you are going to need to keep spending money to fill the clinic because your existing patients aren't helping out.
    Bottom Line for Cash and Membership Practices
    Online marketing is all about having an even split of ads, social media posts and high quality original content floating around on the web. You will never over market online and especially when the bulk of it is proving valuable information verses self-promotion.
    This means you and your staff can and should always be marketing during any down time.
    Whether writing an article, a press release, a social media post or online ad there is more to get done than you could ever possibly keep up with.
    For the Cash/Membership chiropractic office the focus should largely be on your philosophy about health (Salutogenesis vs Pathogenesis, etc.) and the benefits of care and services you offer (No appointment needed, No insurance needed, etc.) along with occasional promotional information (first visit special, etc.).
    In other words, how you are different than the typical insurance based chiropractic office. By setting yourself apart, the wellness chiropractic niche in your community can better identify that you are the right chiropractor for them.

    How to Have a Great Amount of Assets on the Search Engines

    March 12, 2018 0
    How to Have a Great Amount of Assets on the Search Engines

    One of the main focuses of a website should be on getting a lot of assets on the first page of the search engines. This effectively knocks other competitors off the same page. This means that the company has more assets to get more clicks and traffic than the competitors. This all translates into more sales for the company.

    Many people say that micro sites are the best way to do this action. A micro site is a site that is a small version of any other site. They are usually one to three pages big and they do not have much content. These are very popular for smaller internet marketers to use because they can get a lot of these assets up in a short amount of time.
    However, this is not a good thing to do. The recent update to a major search engine has basically crushed this model as an SEO tactic. Many people used to get different domain hosts and use these small micro sites to point to their main website. However, the big search engine figured out this tactic and now penalizes a person for using this tactic.
    It is also very difficult to get a micro site to rank on a search engine because of the lack of content. The new model of the internet is built around content. This means that a site with very little content is already behind the 8 ball when comes to getting ranked on the search engines. The search engines want to see a lot of content before they begin ranking a site. Therefore, a site with one to three pages will usually be nothing but a complete waste of SEO time and money.
    The best thing to do is to develop a multitude of media assets. This includes videos, PDFs, and possibly audios (that can be pushed through pod cast networks). Not only does this increase the amount of engagement that a person can have with a company, it also helps the business compete for SEO slots developed for those media types (which also take up room on the first page when available).

    Different media types give a user a lot of leeway in the way they like to be communicated to on the internet. Even though the internet is very much a text based medium, there are still people who like to watch videos on the internet. There are people who also like audio on the internet (mostly because they like to listen to the internet while they work or do something else).
    In conclusion, a business is better off when they have a lot of assets to take up room on the search engines. These assets should be diversified and not micro sites as micro sites tend to no longer work on the search engines. Therefore, a business that spends their time generating different types of assets are businesses that are able to grab more spots on the search engines than their competitors. This leads to greater sales and more success.

    5 Reasons Why SMB's Should Use SEO

    January 18, 2018 0
    5 Reasons Why SMB's Should Use SEO

    As the owner of a small or medium-sized business, you may be under the impression that "SEO" (Search Engine Optimisation) is just a fancy marketing term for big businesses and corporations. And you're not alone - in a recent survey, it was found that while 56% of small businesses have their own websites, only 28% think about SEO.

    The importance of SEO in this day and age could not be more prevalent. Neglecting to apply SEO strategies to your website may be as crippling for your business as locking your front doors. So what does SEO do? In a world where most consumers use search engines to find nearby companies, SEO is the difference between being visible or invisible. Here are 5 reasons why SMB's should use SEO today.
    1) Traffic Boost
    The traffic going to your website is driven mainly by search engines. Simply putting up a website is not enough to get seen; people have to know you exist in the first place. Every time they use Google or another search engine to find their new job, designer handbag, car repair (or anything else), Google uses special algorithms to determine which websites will show up on the front page.
    By using certain SEO strategies, you can be one of the first sites to pop up every time someone needs something related to your business. Without SEO, you will be buried beneath a mountain of competitors.
    2) It's Cost Effective
    Most marketing and advertising costs big money, but the only cost of SEO is how much time you spend learning SEO strategies and writing content, or paying an SEO specialist to improve your Google rankings. With a proper SEO campaign maintained over several months, you can expect an ROI several times greater than any Facebook or AdWords advertising, up to 800% or more.
    3) Small Businesses Can Beat Big Businesses with Specific Keywords and Other Localized Advantages
    Once you get into SEO, you will start to learn that it's all about the keywords, which are simply the words and phrases that people enter into search engines. The overall goal of SEO is to write content in which these keywords are used and focused on, making your site stronger and higher ranked when people Google that certain keyword.

    So you might think that your chances at success are hopeless; after all, how are you supposed to out-SEO corporations and large businesses that have been doing this for years? Well, small businesses actually have a greater advantage due to long tail keywords. Long tail keywords are long and specific keywords or phrases. As a small business, you also have a smaller and more specific target audience (for example, everyone looking for your product or service in your town or city, as opposed to a global audience). You can hone in on long tail keywords that include your specific location or audience, that big businesses won't bother tackling. Sure, Toys R Us may get all the "new toys" searches, but your small toy store can capture all the "new toys for young boys in London" searches.
    And this isn't the only thing that helps out small businesses, search engines generally take into account the user's location with Local Search, meaning you have a better chance to be seen by people in your area. This will only improve with recent updates in which business owners can further personalize their listings.
    In addition to this there is also what's known as "off-page SEO": this is less about the SEO work you do on your website, and more about improving your reputation in the real world and through social media. It turns out that people are more than willing to talk up a small local business that provide a good service, and the more people are talking about you on the web, the more likely your rankings will rise.
    4) Competitors Will Always Have an Advantage If You Don't Jump Onboard
    The internet boom has come and gone, and ignoring what it can offer is just irresponsible for your business. SEO is fact of life these days and most, if not all, of your competitors are certain to be doing this, so you need to get onboard.
    You may argue that you already have a stable group of loyal customers who will keep your business afloat, customers with whom you have built up trust before the SEO and social media years. Sure, that may be the case now, but how long until those customers stop needing or wanting the service or product you provide? New customers will not flock to your store like the old ones. Why? Because new customers will be swept away by your competition long before they even hear your name.

    5) SEO Will Always Be Around
    SEO isn't something that we'll ride out. The way search engines work, and the fact Google has an increasingly monopolized hold over search engines and various social media platforms, SEO will always be relevant. The best option is to start working on your SEO as soon as possible if you don't want your business to drown under the current.
    So what are you waiting for? Don't let the marketing acronyms and jargon scare you away; at the end of the day, SEO is as simple as every other part of running a business. The longer you wait, the further you fall behind. And if you still don't feel comfortable handling all the technical aspects of SEO, that's fine; that's what SEO specialists are for.

    SEO for Small Businesses - The Essentials

    January 11, 2018 0
    SEO for Small Businesses - The Essentials

    All small businesses must have at least a basic knowledge about SEO. Actually, you should be bored out of your mind by this term because it has been probably mentioned to you day after day after day. You might even think that this is just another trend that will disappear down the road. Not quite! How do I know that?

    Well in the world dominated by the web in which we live in, search engines are the hit of the Internet. Those who want to discover more information about something start by doing some quick online research.
    It is very important to understand the basic knowledge of SEO in order to maintain your business searchable and relevant. This will only bring more traffic and business to your site. There are lots of digital marketers who will agree that your business needs professional SEO strategies. And they might be right! But it won't hurt you to know a couple of the basic elements that keep businesses rolling.
    Know what SEO is
    First of all you, shouldn't be intimidated by the word SEO. It sounds way more complicated than it is. It comes from 'search engine optimization' and it involves aligning your site to the recommendations and requirements of the search engines. This will help you make the site more visible in the search results and get more traffic.
    These engines show videos, pages and listings according to what they believe to be relevant to a user's query. This relevancy is determined by complicated algorithms. As you can imagine, these are not public, but they are quite open with some secrets that could hurt or help the rankings.
    Know what SERP is
    SERP is another key term that is less popular but just as important. It stands for Search Engine Results Page and it describes the ranking order or the listing received by a website after a search is performed. Your website's position in the SERPs is related to SEO, so if you have a good SEO score you should also have a great SERP score. The SERP score is extremely important for small businesses that try to get high results on distinct search engine pages.
    Why are keywords important to SEO?

    Keywords are an important element of SEO, but lately, their role started decreasing because more and more webmasters started to use them in order to manipulate the SERPS. Since so many things are changing, search engines are also growing smarter and make their website selection process a bit more complicated. Keywords remain extremely important, however they should also be accompanied by strong content and a great usability of the site in question.
    Social media and SEO
    You have to make sure that your business is able to cultivate a powerful social media presence. This means that you should create profiles on all channels that are related to your domain. Don't be afraid to promote content on Facebook, Vine, Twitter or any other type of social media that will help your business grow.
    Search algorithms and standards evolve and change. This can cause headaches for many people involved in SEO, but these things are created to help the users of the search engines get better results for their queries. If you keep yourself connected to the most innovative search engine principles, you will manage to impose your presence in the online world.

    Differences Between B2B SEO and B2C SEO Campaigns

    October 25, 2017 0
    Differences Between B2B SEO and B2C SEO Campaigns

    The primary goal of both Business2Business (B2B) and Business2Consumer (B2C) marketing is to generate traffic, increase sales and enhance revenues.
    Read on to discover the main SEO strategies which will you help in your goal:
    1. Marketing campaign goals - Generally, most search engine optimization clients have been B2C companies operating in an e-commerce environment. However, as business-to-business marketers recognize the potential of search engine rankings, many organizations are seeking ways to implement an effective B2B search engine optimization strategy. However, you should understand the critical differences between B2C and B2B SEO and their implications.


    B2B companies generally sell intangible technology, software and services, engineering and industrial products, intermediates and bulk products to be sold to wholesalers, exporters etc. The online marketing campaign goals should focus on increased targeted traffic, increase sales, increase online visibility, establishing your company in local search, establish your business in social media, increase online reputation through online management reputation and improve SEO.
    B2C companies sell more tangible products and services. The goal of your marketing campaign is to get more leads, increase sales, build brand awareness, grow market share, launch new products or services, target new customers, enter new markets, improve stakeholder relations, enhance customer relationships, improve internal communication and to increase profits.
    The ultimate campaign objectives should be SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely. Some examples of B2C are restaurants and retail stores.
    2. Keyword strategies - The starting point of every SEO strategy is keyword research as keyword research helps you decide which keywords to target.


    B2B campaigns usually have industry-specific keywords (to understand the questions your potential customers are asking themselves, and breaking them down to search queries)which require intelligence to mine. A B2B SEO campaign takes much longer keyword analysis and intelligence to set up. B2B audience looks for expertise. B2B purchase-driven searches are very specific like specs, features, performance, value, benefit, ROI, cost of product and running costs such as maintenance, support, troubleshooting. In B2B search engine optimization, it is important to thoroughly understand the search terms your prospect may be using in the different phases of the buying cycle.
    In B2C business, people already have a firm idea of what they want to buy. They want to find the best source for it. In the first phase of B2C search, people usually use generic terms. There is often less variance in the terms they use. So, B2C campaigns focus on keywords that are used or considered as every day i.e. generic and not so complex. In the evaluation stage of the buying cycle, the purchaser's focus turns from researching potential suppliers to researching specific issues related to the product or service like performance, efficiency, maintenance etc. Just prior to the purchase decision, one last round of searching will likely ensure to confirm the purchaser's intended direction and again different search terms may be used.
    3. Content Strategy - Content strategy means to communicate new information about your company, a new product or feature. In simple words, content that is meant to present you in a favorable position to generate leads and drive sales.

    For B2B, content strategy is to target an audience of industry experts and professionals who are familiar with your company or product, highlighting your advantages over your competitors. B2B content strategy should consist of company blog, industry publications, whitepaper, LinkedIn groups, landing pages and forums and communities. So, it is meant to educate a person.
    The main strategy for the B2C content marketing is to drive backlinks and increase rankings. So, it is generally meant for outreach.
    4. Link building - It is the process of facilitating the creation of links in third-party websites that point back to your own site and thereby boost your web presence.
    Consistency in B2B messaging and customer-interactions fundamentally means patience. B2B campaigns still focus on conversions, they do not come easily. B2B SEO campaigns usually tend to drive low volumes of leads as a key performance indicator.The purpose of link building is to drive real, organic, quality traffic to your website and to improve your site's ranking with Google and other search engines.
    B2C campaigns are usually focused on conversions and quick wins. So, link building in B2C focus more on sales and revenue per month with sales happening in shorter sessions, generally from single or multi session visits within days and weeks.
    5. Conversion metrics - It is the sales life cycle: long, considered sale vs. short and impulse purchase.
    Driving site visitors through a set conversion channel is not applicable in B2B. So, your focus should be on getting visitors to research deeper to other relevant, confidence-building content. Usually, the primary motivator in B2B purchase decisions is risk or fear of making the wrong decision. Therefore, one of the key objectives of B2B searchers after they click through to your site is to evaluate both your company and its offerings. An average B2B transaction can take anywhere from three to 24 months depending on the product or service being sold and the number of decisions to be made within the buying process.


    Conversion ratios in the B2C environment are usually measured as the percentage of organic click-throughs that resulted in a sale. Detailed analysis goes into conversion ratios. Because the sales funnel in B2C SEO is very narrow and short. It can help in measuring the impact of optimization is quite easy and immediate. An average B2C transaction can occur anywhere from minutes to weeks, with the number of decision makers generally being less than 2 individuals and the buying process being much more straightforward.
    SEO strategy is crucial for the success of every business. So, a trusted SEO company can help you to understand the differences between B2B SEO and B2C SEO campaigns.

    SEO 101: Lessons for Beginners

    September 18, 2017 0
    SEO 101: Lessons for Beginners

    Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving a website's structure and content in order to rank high in search results of search engines including but not limited to Google, Bing, and Yahoo. 
    This is done to drive traffic to a website. 
    The higher your rankings are, the more likely your page will be visited. Businesses, both big and small, now hire SEO service providers as part of their digital marketing campaign.
    But if you're still wondering what SEO teams do, this will give you an idea on what they can do to help your business grow:

    SEO-Friendly Content
    Not everything that's well-written skyrocket to the top pages of the search results. 


    Google's system ranks websites based on relevance. SEO service providers make sure that you have accurate page titles and informative meta-descriptions that will help users find your content especially if it's something that concerns them.
    While it's good to be creative, using a vague title or metaphor that does not directly mention your topic isn't likely to make your webpage rank. 
    This is especially crucial for niche topics. It's better to be direct to the point and use "How to Get More Leads through Social Media" than use "The Science of Attraction for Businesses". 
    You are, after all, trying to get more customers, not trying to win a Pulitzer Prize.
    More than the title, it's the SEO team's job to remind you to center your content on one topic per page. 
    A blog post fails on relevance when it uses too many keywords, or if the actual content has nothing to do with the keyword and was just forced there. 


    While there is a technical aspect of SEO, one of the best ways to rank is still to provide valuable content.

    Easily Navigable Sites

    SEO experts make sure that your website has a hierarchy that's easy to follow. It should be easy for visitors to go from general content to more specific content. 
    The navigation bar is crucial to this. 
    The SEO team will cluster your content into categories if it's necessary just to make sure page visitors won't get a headache when looking for what they need.
    The goal is to make the website user-friendly. Design must follow function. 


    It's a must to avoid complicated schemes in building your website because it discourages your visitors from staying in the website and encourages them to look for other ones.
    More than that, it's the SEO team who creates working internal links so that it's easy for visitors to jump to related web pages and to avoid 404 pages.

    Creation of Backlinks
    All of the things above are on-page efforts. 
    While the goal is to optimize your actual website, it also needs to be referenced by other blogs and websites for it to rank as well. 
    SEO service providers create off-page blogs and submit articles to article submission sites that contain keywords that will link back to your website.


    That's just the technical aspect of it. The other part is marketing your content to influencers who will share it on their own blog posts. 
    The goal of any SEO team is to reach a point where your website is organically being recognized as an expert in the field, and referenced by other sites and social media accounts.
    An SEO team is usually composed of information technology experts, content developers, and social media managers who work together to create quality content that will eventually lead you to become a trusted reference by users and other websites. 
    They also make sure all your content are optimized for search engines. Hiring an SEO service provider is worth it.

    SEO Tricks to Know Before You Post Content

    SEO Tricks to Know Before You Post Content

    If you are involved with social media for your business, you probably have some knowledge about search engine optimization (SEO). As a business person (whether a business owner or a business person), you understand the importance of a content marketing strategy in order to succeed. There are certain tricks that will help you with SEO.
    The critical nature of SEO


    Your ability to optimize your content in the most effective way possible can truly be critical to your business' success. If you are not sure why it is so important for your business that you optimize your content, just remember that if your content is not optimized for the search engines, your rankings on the search engines' pages will be low and people who are searching for what you do will not be able to find you. 

     The truth is that people are inclined to choose whatever is at the top of the page and very few have the patience to drill down the list (or, certainly not to subsequent pages).
    There are some SEO tricks that may help your business tremendously. In any case, they are certainly worth trying.
    • Present your content in short segments and make it easily searched and shared: 
    As you are writing your content, it is very important that you do so with the search engines in mind. What you should have in your mind at all times is that you can break your content down into short segments (that can stand alone or be a part of a greater whole at the same time). 

    Of course, your content should be search-friendly, easily digested, and easily shared at the same time. It is critical that you write content that satisfies the needs of your target audience members. It must be more about them than it is about you. 

    You should have the concept of WIIFM? (What's In It For Me?) in mind whenever you write content. What that means is that you must be able to solve the other person's problems before you consider your needs. Of course, in due course, your needs will be met as well.
    • Focus your content in two different directions: 
    Undoubtedly, your first responsibility is to write with your target audience members in mind. As you probably aware, you must connect with those people on an emotional/human level. If you are not able to do that, you will not be able to establish and grow a relationship with the other person in any real way. 



    Now that we have established why the first direction is so important, it is time to consider the second direction. That is to focus your writing on the spiders. Just in case you are not sure what the term, "spider" means, spiders are the robots that search the web to look for clues about which pages of content are worthy of ranking high (higher than other pages). 

    That second focus is just as important as the first focus because, without the spiders, your content will not get noticed. 

    Of course, your ultimate goal is for humans to notice what you are sharing and build a relationship with you based on what they are reading. However, they won't have access to the content if the spiders don't deem it worth ranking at the top of the search engines' pages. 

    It is a simple concept. The concept of how the spiders work is that they pay attention to how frequently you post, how interesting your content happens to be, the strength of your headlines, how solid the structure of your content is, the quality of your links, and how engaged your audience is with you. Spiders are built to compare your content to the other content that is on the web (on a similar topic, of course). Because spiders are not human, they do have some limitations when it comes to being able to judge certain things, however.
    • Try out an auditing tool (but do the research to determine how much you can do with it and how much you can't): 
    The way that an SEO auditing tool works is that you enter one of your keywords or key phrases into the tool and then that keyword or key phrase will receive a grade (poor or good). That should be enough of a guide for you to tweak what needs to be tweaked before you go any further with your content. You can find a list of auditing tools by doing a search. 

    You should take a good look at each one so that you can determine which tool will work most effectively for your particular business.
    Conclusion

     You have the potential to really make a difference for your business by implementing the tips that you have here. They may very well help you to drive more traffic to your website, which is one of your constant goals. Certainly, you have nothing to lose and, probably, a great deal to gain. 

     Of course, none of those tips will be effective if you are not producing top-quality content, which you are undoubtedly doing.
