How A Local Business Can Skip The Internet Marketing Mubmo Jumbo And Practically Steal Clients From Their Competitors

If you’re a local business owner who’s NOT taking advantage of the local market when it comes to search engine visitors – you’re leaving profits and business growth on the table. Period.

If you’re not using the natural and paid search results to promote your local business and services then shame on you for not taking the bull by the horns and getting this part of your business handled once and for all — however I certainly wouldn’t blame you if you’ve tried but come up empty handed.

Here’s what I mean…

As a local business owner, you know you need to advertise; and I’m willing to bet you do just that using the local print ads along with “MoneyMailer”, “ValPak”, and many more local advertising options such as the “Yellow Pages”. <<< you're not really still using the Yellow Pages are you?

However, if you've attempted to do any research on how to market your business online then to be frank with you - it's confusing at best.

Most of the internet marketing companies I see advertising are all using the most popular buzz words to advertise their services to you and most of them probably just cause more confusion.

Terms like;

- Social Media Marketing
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- Pay Per Click Advertising (PPC)
- Search Engine Marketing (SEM)
- Link Building
- Article & Video Syndication
- Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs)
- Vertical Online Marketing Analysis (VOMA)

...and the list of technical terms goes on.

As an internet marketer myself, I often wonder about internet marketing companies that claim to offer services on each and every topic (and more) like shown in the list above.

Do you really think those "we do it all" internet marketing companies are any good at all of those technical specialties? Do you ever wonder if they really have a handle on what's most important to your business (i.e. more customers, more profits, business growth, etc.)?

My take on this: “If you’re an expert at everything, you are good at nothing“

BEWARE; the internet marketing companies who talk over your head, use internet marketing terminology and frankly claim to be the end all for all marketing disciplines.

In the end, what is your real desire?

Is it to learn all of the internet marketing speak or is it to increase your business, get more customers, make more money and generally have this area of your marketing taken care of once and for all. Especially before your competition beats you to it.

What I’m suggesting is that if you come on board with Web Market Authority as a new internet marketing client, I promise to avoid all that technical speak and mumbo jumbo like the plague and begin marketing your online presence like you always imagined it should be.

What we WILL do is define the exact results you want from your website and then I personally will go to work implementing all the technical stuff required to make it happen. The only thing you’ll have to do is watch the results and calculate your return on investment (I can even help you with that too).

You won’t have to decide between things like (and I quote) “Multi-Media, Internet Marketing and Communications via Search Engine Optimization and Marketing (SEO/SEM), Social Media Marketing and Optimization (SMM/SMO), Website Design, Management or Upgrades, Broadcast Media Marketing and Advertising, Technical Consulting, Computer Training and Business Support, Project Management and a host of other Internet and computer services support” — or the likes of any of those Northern Virginia SEO Services technical terms disguised only to impress you (or confuse you) about the internet marketing possibilities.

It’s completely possible for a local business to own their market or niche on the internet without knowing any of the technical terms or marketing geek speak, or for that matter even knowing HOW it all works. With Web Market Authority you don’t need to know how any of those terms fit into your internet marketing mix, you just need to know what the end result is that builds your business.

Does a company (like the one I quoted above) REALLY understand what you as a local business owner (who just happens to have a website) really needs from their internet marketing efforts? OR are they just throwing around a bunch of technical terms so they can seem like experts?

Remember; “If you’re an expert at everthing, you are good at nothing”

Another saying I like is; “he who attempts to sell everything, sells nothing”

What’s great about internet marketing is that it’s all infinitely trackable. As a business owner you can see the results directly online and in your monthly/yearly business growth.

And, unless you’re an expert at tracking your advertising (simply asking customers that call where they found you is NOT the best tracking system) then you’ll find that search engine marketing can be much more powerful than any “ValPak”, “MoneyMailer” or “Yellow Page Ad” you can place.

Here’s What You Should Do Next…

1. Try to put yourself into your customers shoes and begin looking for your services on the internet. Search locally and specifically from a customers perspective who doesn’t know you exist.

2. Are you on the first page of search engine results at all?

– NO; if not, Contact Me and I’ll show you why (I have nothing to sell, only something to tell)

– YES; great, you rank well in the search engines but are your listings compelling? Would your search visitor click your listing over all others? If not, Contact Me and we’ll discuss the possibilities.
