Are you a copywriter or online marketer? If yes, you need to reap the benefits of Google+ marketing.

As of 2013, Google+ is the second largest social media network with active users. Yes, that means it’s only second to Facebook. Prior to 2013, Twitter was in second place.

What are the benefits of Google+ online marketing?

  1. Google+ Authorship. This tool will verify your online profiles through search engine results and rank you higher than your competitors. The higher you rank on search engine results, the more likely Internet users will visit your online profiles, including your website.
  2. Google+ is a Topical Social Media Network. What does that mean? It means its design is centralized around content creation and organizing that content information for easier consumption and distribution.
  3. Google+ Hangouts. This is a perfect tool for holding webinar sessions and other Q & A sessions via live stream or video presentations.
  4. Google+ can manage Youtube Channels on multiple Google+ accounts. Yes, you can link Google+ pages directly to Youtube accounts. One Google+ account can manage up to 50 Youtube channels. This means better video sharing, live broadcasts and more.

The Web Marketing Benefits Of Enhanced Adwords

Monday, February 11th, 2013

Are you searching for affordable ways to promote your company’s products and services? If yes, we recommend Enhanced Google AdWords to your Business. Enhanced AdWords come with great benefits. This article will provide you an overview on Enhanced Adwords and how it could serve as a powerful marketing tool for your business.

This month Google has officially upgraded Adwords with enhanced business campaigns to make advertising your business simple and easy to manage.

What are the Benefits of Enhanced Adwords?

Adwords are great for business marketing because the ads can display perfectly on any technology device – PCs, Laptops, Smartphones, and Tablets just to name a few.

The ability to display on multiple devices creates numerous business opportunities for your business to generate leads that can convert into sales.

How?

The Adwords will configure the appropriate display for the need of the user at any given time.

For example, a user looking for a Valentines Day dinner for two at a restaurant via a PC will discover your ad based on the specific keyword(s) he/she is searching for. For example, your restaurant might sell crabcakes so the keyword “ Maryland crabcakes’ would display your business ad to the target audience and highlight a direct link to the restaurant online ordering form.

If a user is using a smartphone, it will display how far the restaurant is from his/her current location and a link to your business’ click-to-call reservation number/order number.

Adwords can even highlight daily specials or events on the ad based on the location, time of day and the device your potential costumers may be using.

This powerful marketing tool will make campaign management easier and design an affordable advertisement budget because bid adjustments can be processed at anytime, across multiple devices – from a single campaign.

And it gets better. The enhanced AdWords are smart ads optimized to accommodate diverse user contexts because advertisements need to be tailored for web users on the go.

Adwords can display as ad texts, site links, apps or extensions. Best of all, you will not have to edit every ad campaign to get the results you want and need to reach out to consumers. You will also have the privilege to accurately measure campaigns and compare the campaigns to each other to generate the best leads for your business. This includes counting calls to your business, tracking app downloads and more.

Adventure Web Productions is here to be your PPC Marketer and directly manage your AdWords Enhanced Mobile Campaigns to provide you the results you want for your business mobile search and mobile optimization.

Read about Adventure Web Productions’ Internet Marketing Services for more information on this great marketing tool – including desktop only campaigns and mobile only campaigns.

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.

Social Media Marketing: How To Gain Leads And Not Just Followers

Thursday, March 29th, 2012

What is more important to your business – followers or leads? Often in social media marketing businesses become so consumed with how many friends/fans/ followers they have on social media that they forget the most important aspect of social media marketing is converting those friends/fans/ followers into leads. To put it short, your social profiles function as touch points for your business to engage and interact with your target audience – they are not a final destination for your Internet presence. Your final destination on the Internet is your website that provides information about your products and services.

This article will provide you information on how to attract leads and not just followers to your website and business.

Yes, social media is a great way to build relationships with old, new, and potential customers but your website needs to be used to convince them to buy your products and services. Your social media is the appetizer. Your website is the main dish.

You want strong content on your website because you want to make sure the visitors to your website have reason to return to your products and services, not simply “Like”, “+1”, “Retweet” and “Repin” and be done with your brand. You want your business to be valued.

You can convert followers to leads by combining social media marketing with search engine optimization (SEO). This integration of both Internet marketing campaigns will make a more cohesive marketing strategy.

For example, SEO keywords will increase your Google ranking for your website. The more valuable your keywords, the more leads will come to your website, products and services. SEO keywords can also be used on your social media profiles to help draw in leads to your website.

With the right call-to-actions, lead form, and placing of your social media buttons, your business and website can gain the following and leads you desire. It just takes the right Internet marketing strategy. Adventure Web Productions is here to help you get there.

Adventure Web Productions is one of the few full service Internet development and web marketing companies in the Baltimore Metropolitan area. We specialize in affordable custom web design and development, software development, content management systems (CMS), database integration, e-marketing solutions, social media strategy and implementation, organic search engine optimization, pay per click campaigning.

How To Use Social Network Mentions To Stay Informed About Your Social Standings

Friday, February 24th, 2012

Are you looking for ways to successfully be socially active on your company’s social networks? If yes, we are here to help. This article will provide you information on how to find your site mentions on social networks to successfully be interactive and transform fans into business leads. Get started now.

If you have ever been curious about your social network standings, reviewing mentions is a good way to find out who has been sharing your content and looking up your domain. The entire social network mentions work differently. Below we will discuss how to find mentions on the four main social networks- Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin and Google+.

Twitter

On Twitter you can check your tweets in two ways. One way is to review your real time search on Twitter using the URL https://twitter.com/search?q=%domain.com%22 to see all tweets. You can save this search button to your Twitter profile or create a column for it in HootSuite or Tweetdeck. The second method of discovering mentions on Twitter is using Topsy.com, which displays your tweet count from your domain. You can change the time range to see if people have been looking for you within an hour, a day, a week, a month and yearly.

Facebook

On Facebook you can use the search bar to get results when someone looks up your domain in a comment or share for the past 30 days. For example, type into Google the following share item to see samples of posts shared from your site:

Site:facbook.com inurl:posts “domain.com”

Google+

When using Google+, you can review mentions of your links from your domain that have been shared and see who has shared or comment on your domain at this URL address:

https://plus.google.com/s/domain.com/posts

LinkedIn

LinkedIn offers a direct URL to allow you to search domain mentions. The URL is http://www.linkedin.com/signal/?type=updates&keywords=domain.com .

Use the left side option of this link to see what people have tweeted about you or mentioned you directly on LinkedIn by location, company, industry and connections. This is a wonderful tool to meet new people that can do business with your company. It takes only a simple click of the box next to 3rd+ everyone under network to accomplish this.

Remember, you are the face of your company.

To gain more visibility for your business, hire a professional web marketing company. Adventure Web Productions is a superb web marketing company.

Here at Adventure Web Productions, we provide full-service Internet development, hosting and web marketing. We also provide traffic to your website and increase your profits by truly utilizing all the crucial social media networks. We can help get your company notice online and offline.
