Last year I tried to limit my travel but still ended up making about ten (!) trips in 2009. This year I’ve resolved to travel less for work. Right now, here’s my current speaking/travel plans for 2010:
March 2-4, 2010: SMX West, Santa Clara, CA. I’m doing a “Ask the Search Engines” panel.

Reduce Cost Per Acquisition of New Customers

Budgets are subject to rigorous thought, analysis and planning. Budgets are not received easily and those granting them, be it yourself or your seniors – DEMAND returns.

It’s tough to produce results from a budget. It’s even tougher to produce results that continue to flow over time, while you reduce costs.

You will collect a constant yield from your positions on search engines for as long as you hold those positions, and for as long as there is a demand for your offer on the marketplace.

That fact helps you reduce costs. Here’s how:

  • Initial investment buys your way to best search engine positions [via search engine optimization services]
  • Over a period of time, collected revenues fully cover your investment.
  • You start collecting profits.
  • To secure those profits, SEO Expert conducts continuous positions maintenance. Maintenance addresses factors that search engines require to keep website in favourable spots.
  • Since your investment paid itself off and you are making profits, you can cut costs in other marketing vehicles such as pay per click, banners, magazines, flyers, and other methods.
  1. Your revenue-to-investment ratio grows, since search engine marketing campaign brings consistent customer flow.
  2. You can reduce budget in other less effective marketing channels, due to unmatched quality of prospective customers search brings [customers take the initiative to find you, hence they want to do business.

Increase and Maintain Brand Equity Through Search
People buy based on trust, recognition, convenience, and only then… price. There are exceptions to the rule, but would you trust an unknown retailer with a $4000 TV purchase and no clear guarantees? Or would you head out to Best Buy, pay $200 bucks more and feel safe?

Brand is one of the most important assets a company has.

Development and maintenance of a powerful brand through search engines comes with key aspect – Brand Recall.

Building Your Brand on Search Engines
Successful branding on search engines comes through constant recall of your company’s website on search engines for keywords searched by potential customers.

If a website shows up on best search engine spots for various keywords, users develop a degree of trust and respect for that site. When it comes to final purchase, they feel more comfortable and safe about a purchase from that website, rather than any other web property.

For example – Marry wants to get a mortgage and purchase a new house. She knows little about mortgages, mortgage companies or the process of attaining a mortgage. She goes out to Google with the following questions.

•How do I get a mortgage?
•What are good mortgage options?
•Which is a good mortgage company?
Marry needs to answer those questions before she’ll get a mortgage. She may use the following keywords with questions in mind:

Question  Keywords used on a search engine

How do I get a mortgage?  = how get mortgage
What are good mortgage options? = good mortgage options
Which is a good mortgage company? = good mortgage company

If a company’s website shows up on top of search result for all 3 questions and Marry finds answers helpful, she will develop a degree of trust and appeal for that website [and Company’s Brand], because she found what she needed, when she wanted it.

She may head back to search engines and research more questions. If the same website shows up on top again, she will eventually develop trust, get used the brand name, and turn to it when she’s ready for business.

By giving users information they need, when they need it your company can develop strong brand association, increasing customer base.

To achieve those results, SEO expert employs professionals who are expert in keyword research science and measurement.

We source key phrases from keyword databases that represent questions your potential customers ask, and position your website for those questions on search engines through search engine optimization services.

Protect Your Brand Against Erosion

More and more people head out to Google, Yahoo, MSN and other search engines for research, comparison and general information. They expect to find top brands on best search engine spots and lack of visibility creates brand erosion.
