The Benefits of Facebook Graph Search For Facebook Business Pages

Friday, January 18th, 2013

Do you have a Facebook business page? If you do not, it’s time to get on the Social Media Platform. Why?

Just this week Facebook has launched a new, big game changer to its website.

What is the game changer?

This may be the start of a new information exchange era. Facebook may have figured out how to make the Like button more important than the link connection of websites.

Google for years made the web revolve around links and information.

Now Facebook has the opportunity to change the game with over one billion users and the new Graph search.

Here is how the Facebook Graph search will work:

A consumer on Facebook will look for a need on interest on Facebook such as an orthodontist in Maryland. The Facebook search will assist the consumer to find, for example, an orthodontist in Baltimore, Maryland a consumer’s own friends like and trust.

This is something Google search cannot do. We live in a world where recommendations from those we know are invaluable. In fact, 92% of consumers trust word of mouth/ recommendations from personal connections rather than commercial advertisement.

By having a professional Facebook business page designed for your company, you can generate more likes and clicks to your website which will increase your Google Search rank.

The Graph Search will be extremely user friendly with search phrases such as “ friends who live in Washington DC” or “photos taken at ____(insert location).”

Best of all the Graph Search can completely search the entire social graph of Facebook – people, photos, places and interests.

This means more exposure for your business content and more accuracy on consumer needs and wants.

Adventure Web Productions can provide you with effective social media marketing services.

At AWP, we stand ready to help you fully unlock the full potential of the Internet. If you’re not successful, neither are we. We offer award-winning Web Development and services as mentioned in The Wall Street Journal, Baltimore Business Journal, The Daily Record, The Washington Times, CNBC, Merchant Circle, and other local and national news media.

The Benefits Of Business Reviews And Review Filters

Monday, January 7th, 2013

What is the purpose of business reviews?

Business reviews are displayed throughout the Internet to connect consumers with great local businesses.

Consumers are able to discover quality products and services and local businesses have an easier time retaining quality customers.

Business review pages are designed to be a source of trusted business review content. To assure the majority of content on review pages is trustworthy, review filters are set in place.

The automated review filter is present to protect consumers and business owners from fake or malicious reviews.

The benefit of having a review filter is that the most useful consumer reviews are ranked the highest on business review sites and throughout the web.

No longer can business owners rely on simply providing excellent services and making their business operations speak for it.

Consumers now can speak for brands, whether good or bad. Once a reputation is tarnished, it’s hard to recover.

There will be business owners who write their own reviews or pay others to writer business reviews for them. There will be business competitors’ posting negative reviews to take away your customers.

These dishonest practices are unfair to consumers and honest businesses.

To prevent an erosion of trust about your business, review filters are a necessity. The review filters will maintain a positive word-of-mouth your business has actually earned.

Adventure Web Productions is here to monitor, filter and maintain your business reviews to protect the integrity of your website content. We will also direct consumers to your business website as a top place for making a purchasing decision while giving them the opportunity to provide your business beneficial feedback.

At AWP, we stand ready to help you fully unlock the full potential of the Internet. If you’re not successful, neither are we. We offer award-winning Web Development and services as mentioned in The Wall Street Journal, Baltimore Business Journal, The Daily Record, The Washington Times, CNBC, Merchant Circle, and other local and national news media.

Small Business Saturday: How To Lure Customers To Your Business

Friday, November 23rd, 2012

Image Source From Small Business Saturday Facebook Page:www.facebook.com/SmallBusinessSaturday

Today is Black Friday. Tomorrow is Small Business Saturday. Monday is Cyber Monday and Tuesday is Green Tuesday.
If you’re a retailer, this is a big weekend for your business. Shoppers are ready to buy and you need to lure customer to your business online and offline.

Adventure Web Productions is here to help you effectively promote your business. Here are some ways you can lure customers to your business online today:

1. Send out E-Cards and blog posts. Visual reminders of the products and services you offer can really help you sell your business. Peaceful pictures of nature or people coming together are sure sellers of the holiday season. Post this picture invitation on your social media such as Facebook to remind them to stop by your company website or store.

2. Create a relaxing atmosphere for customers. Offer samples of products online and in store. Play calming music and make sure your business is clean.

3. Have social media contest during the holidays to promote customers to buy and shop from your website and store. For  example, you can offer discounts for online purchases and hold hourly door prize drawings on your social media business pages to use in store. This will drum up excitement about your products and services this holiday season and beyond.

4. Don’t sell products on sale. Why? It’s the beginning of a slippery slope. Door prize drawings never hurt sales but they do bring in more customers just from the thought they can win.

5. Give back on Small Business Saturday. When you donate a portion of your Small Business Saturday proceeds to charity, you entice potential customers to support your business even more.  One charity cause consumers will support is the Red Cross For Hurricane Sandy. Use badges on your website that promote the donation and props at your business such as posters.

6. On Cyber Monday hold hour by hour sales on your website and host sweepstakes on your social media.

If you need assistance on web design, Internet marketing and social media marketing, Adventure Web Productions is here to help your business have a successful holiday season.

Adventure Web Productions: Template Website Vs. Custom Website – You Get What You Pay For.

Friday, September 28th, 2012

By Jen Pack

If you believe a template website is all you will need to keep your business successful on and off the web, think again. Just because a template website is affordable, it doesn’t mean it’s the best visual representation of your company and brand.

When comparing a template website with a custom website, you get what you pay for.

A website is a marketing or sales tool that should be used as an excellent representation of your company and brand, no matter if you are a solo-entrepreneur or a multimillion dollar corporation company.

In the words of NAWBO member Gina Ramsey:

“Every business owner should look at a website as another sales person. People should be able to find you, navigate through your site, and contact your business”.

Gina Ramsey is an expert Web Design, Search Engine Optimization and Social Media Specialist for Adventure Web Productions.

Ramsey informed NAWBO that template based services such as GoDaddy.com, WordPress, Zymic and Host Gator are able to offer small businesses with limited budgets, a digital real estate at low cost.

This one-stop shopping experience can be very tempting to struggling startups that need to purchase web hosting, a domain name, email service and build a site from a stock template. However, this seemingly simple solution is not always the best solution for building or expanding your business.

Ramsey makes it clear you get what you pay for.

“In most cases, these providers offer basic templates, with limited customization. Template sites can’t grow as your business grows or use the full capabilities of SEO”, Ramsey explains.

SEO, the process that makes your website search friendly, plays a very important role in your site being discovered by your company’s target audience.

You can truly reap the full benefits of SEO with a custom built website.

When a custom built website is created by professional web developers with knowledge on using technology, your company’s website will yield greater results for your company brand.

Adventure Web Productions uses superb techniques to strengthen the power of organic SEO through on-page optimization-SEO. The on-page optimization SEO is based on content and keyword usage.

A template website cannot provide adequate optimization of a website. By purchasing a template website, you miss out on the opportunity to take your company to the next level.

On average a template website can only guarantee your company’s website a place on Google’s standard search result list top 40 pages.

This is very problematic because average Internet users don’t go further than the first 3 pages of a Google search.

In other words, template websites are ineffective if the intended audience never sees it.

For effective and affordable custom-built websites, hire Adventure Web Productions.

Adventure Web Productions specializes in affordable custom web design and development, software development, content management systems (CMS), database integration, e-marketing solutions, social media strategy and implementation, organic SEO and pay per click campaigning for every size business. The company conducts research including: competitive analysis and company questionnaire to ensure your branding, mission, and target audience taken into consideration to create the final product. Adventure Web also stays up to date on the newest technologies, s­o you can be sure your site won’t be obsolete in the next six months. The company offers flexible plans that are geared toward small business. “We are able to work within a budget to help you spend your money on a product that will take your business to the next level”, Ramsey states.
