SEO is leading the horse to water

CRO is making the horse drink

Social Media is that horse broadcasting the location of the water hole and a personal judgment on water quality.

The Seo process does not start with buying ads on Google.

It starts with examing what your actual business is and compartmentalizing it into a sandwich and some chips. the SEO lunch.

– Bread And Butter -> what is the core of your business, where is the majority of the revenue?

– Meat -> (I know.. butter and meat.. but play along please..) Describe your product/services simply, do you sell sporting goods, golf clubs, lingerie? what? Maybe you are a plumber that specializes in Bidet installation?

– Sandwich spread -> what are all the little things that bring it all together? do you customers come from one geographic area? Are they white males, aged 34-50, usually divorced and have busy professional lives? (not dating silly, cleaning services.. geesh!)

Now that you have your sandwich, you want some chips, right?

What kind of chips? phone chips, form chips, email newsletter chips, what is the preferred method of people contacting you? What is the desired action you want them to take.

Now eat your SEO lunch and what do you think about the questions above?

Why I Don’t Thank for Retweet
by Steve Plunkett.

cooltext467743303

When people say “Thanks for the RT,”, I always shoot back, “Thanks for the good info”.. I read it, I may have even blogged it. It was good info, so I passed it along, you don’t need to thank me for sharing and trusting your credibility. Believing in you enough to click on a link? That you earned anyways via engagement and professionalism. But you are welcome, again, thanks for the info. When you retweet me, you are saying “Thanks for the info”.
