The 5 Step Cheat-Sheet for Using Youtube for Your Local Business

The 5 Step Cheat-Sheet for Using Youtube for Your Local Business

If I were to ask you, "what's the #1 search engine?", you would automatically say, "Google", and you'd be right. But what if I were to ask you to state the #2 search engine? Some would say Bing, or Yahoo, but the truth is that Youtube is the second largest search engine in the world. It's also vastly neglected by local businesses. This is what makes it a great opportunity for you. Youtube is powerful because videos can be found by entering both Google and Youtube itself. It's also powerful … [Read more...]

Why Linking Building Will Still Matter in 2016

Google's 2012 Penguin update permanently changed the game. Some of the things that worked before abruptly stopped working. SEO's panicked. Website rankings plummeted. Chaos ensued. Lost in all of the chaos and the noise were the facts. People became very misinformed on what works and what doesn't. Bad SEO practices sort of became the norm. One of the assertions, of which we're going to talk about today, was that SEO success no longer depended on link building. Links were dead, according to … [Read more...]

It's something that's very sneaky, and if left unchecked, can do some damage to your SEO efforts. It's like being blindsided; you're down before you even know what hit you. We're … [Read more...]

How to Successfully Leverage Online Marketing for Your Print Campaign

As technology becomes more advanced, more businesses are hopping on the Digital Marketing Locomotive; which, really, is not a bad thing.
