SERP Tracking for Digital Marketers

A few quotes to start this one out:

“You can’t manage what you don’t measure.” – Peter Drucker

“Every line is the perfect length if you don’t measure it.” – Marty Rubin

and my personal favorite, “In God we trust. All others must bring data.” – Edwards Deming

The point being: Like most facets of business, SEO and keyword ranking is a science that requires tracking and analysis. If we only throw stuff at the wall hoping that something sticks and never run any reports or use tools to see the results of our work then we’re only flying blind and will never have a grasp on what worked, how to repeat success, how to avoid failure, or where we stand amongst our peers.

“Content is King.” Sounds as good today as it did 10 years ago. Content is a large component of SEO> Search engines love fresh content and utilizing informative, top-quality content is still a top technique for gaining visibility in the search engines.

These best practices are a good start to running a successful e-commerce store, but as good as we think our ideas are or how well we think we know what our audience wants you should always be A/B testing elements of your page to what designs, titles, images, call-to-actions resonate best with your audience and lead to more sales. There are a multitude of tools available to help with A/B and multivariate testing and many will even track conversion rates and revenue for each experiment.

Once you’ve tested an element on your product detail page and determined a winner – be sure to apply your best performing text variant across all product pages of your site.

Create Stickiness For Your Website

Over the years, many trends have caught on that most people would not have expected, like the surge of popularity of then-terminally-uncool Hush Puppies shoes in the 1990’s, which were previously only popular among a handful of hipsters in Manhattan.  Television shows which many thought would surely flop reached great success, such as Sesame Street.  People underestimated the cognitive levels of children, but the show’s new approach to teaching gained widespread popularity and fostered literacy in preschoolers.  Books, like The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, have climbed from little known cult series to best-sellers and messages that seemed to hold little importance at the time, such as the dangers of smoking, took hold and are now hot topics all over the world.  It seems that there is a pattern to these phenomenons, which many businesses could learn, replicate and benefit from greatly.

In the book “The Tipping Point,” author Malcolm Gladwell connects the dots for a pattern that can move any idea, message, product, or in our case business in the residential service industry from a small, unknown group to a front-runner in their field.  The main thing you can do to propel your business to its “tipping point” is to create what is known as “The Stickiness Factor.” Continue reading Get sticky with it
