Choosing an Internet Marketing company for your Local Philadelphia business.

By Brian Brown / No Comment

While there are many factors that can influence your decision when choosing an internet marketing company to handle your Philadelphia internet advertising. Remember to ask your rep how many campaigns have they run, how many years experience and what type of retention rate do they have in keeping their accounts.

Choosing the right internet marketing company for your local Philadelphia business can be a daunting task, but it’s essential to ensure your online presence is optimized for maximum reach and engagement. Here are some tips to help you make an informed decision:

Look for a company with experience in local Philadelphia markets: A company that has experience working with businesses in the Philadelphia area will have a better understanding of the local market and what strategies work best in the area.
Check the company’s portfolio: Look at the company’s past work to see if they have experience in the specific areas of internet marketing that you need. For example, if you need help with social media, look for companies that have a track record of successful social media campaigns.
Check reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews and testimonials from other local businesses to see what their experience was like with the company. You can also ask the company for references from past clients.
Check their certifications: Look for companies that have certifications in areas like Google Ads or Google Analytics. This can indicate that they have a deep understanding of these platforms and can help you get the most out of your campaigns.
Consider their communication style: You want to work with a company that is easy to communicate with and responsive to your needs. Look for a company that is willing to take the time to understand your business and work with you to create a customized marketing strategy.
Consider their pricing: While pricing shouldn’t be the only factor in your decision, it’s important to find a company that fits within your budget. Look for companies that offer transparent pricing and are upfront about any additional costs.

By following these tips, you’ll be well on your way to finding the right internet marketing company for your local Philadelphia business.

By Brian Brown / No Comment

I can’t tell you how many times Philadelphia area businesses want to meet with me because they are not getting much results from their website. Then I see whoever created the website simply did not set up the tags or did them wrong. These Philadelphia businesses could be getting hundreds even thousands of more hits to their website if they just had their tags set up correctly(unique tags per each page of their website). This article I read this morning will help those type of clients. Learn how to write effective Title Tags and Meta Tags as both are 2 of the most important factors for top SEO rankings on the search engines.

More Metatag Help for Local Philadelphia Businesses

By Brian Brown / No Comment

I have done several posts about the importance and value of meta tags. However, I still see clients regularly with wrong meta tags or typically they use the same tag on every page of their website. I read this good article below that I feel can help local Philadelphia business owners have a better understanding about meta tags to gain better rankings and more sales. While the article points out that meta tags are not the one key to top rankings they due stress there importance and how to best use them. Be sure each page of your website has a unique Title Tag and Meta Tags. Remember each word in your tags MUST match words that are listed on the web page exactly.

Philadelphia Businesses may have heard of Remarketing but how about Retargeting?

By Brian Brown / No Comment

If you are a Philadelphia business possibly you have heard about Remarketing, where you can show your display ad to people who have recently been on your website. This is very effective for all local businesses but works even better for longer sales cycles, like buying a car or someone considering Plastic Surgery.
