How Marketing and Marketing Companies Have Changed
My first job out of college was in the marketing department of a major Southeastern regional bank. Â Both my career and the bank grew (BankofAmerica is now one of the largest banks in the world) and so did “marketing.” Â Marketing in the 80’s was dependent on things like focus groups and studies. Â Today, “marketing” takes place instantaneously over the internet and is measured real-time in clicks and search engine placement. Â So, if you’re looking for a marketing firm today, you had better be sure that your marketing firm is an internet expert—we are! Â And, we can help you examine your ideas, formulate your model, and most importantly execute your plans!
Internet and Digital Marketing Companies Today
In today’s marketing companies, once ideas have been formed and nurtured, they are translated to the internet. Usually, this translation takes the form, at least initially, of a website.
Once you have a website, your next step is to get people to find it. Â Let’s face it, the best site in the world will not do you a bit of good unless someone (like your potential client) can find you. Â And, unless your name is Coke (Coke.com) or NBC (NBC.com), it’s unlikely that your domain name is so associated and transparent with your web presence that anyone will naturally know how to find you. Â Enter Search Engine Optimization!
Since the advent of Google, most of us go to GOOGLE.com and type in the words/phrases of what we are looking for—for example, Columbia SC real estate, Columbia SC Business Attorney, or cheapest computers. Â And, almost magically, Google returns a list of websites that meet our search terms. Â Google does this miracle by comparing about 200 unique features of a site. Â While the purpose here isn’t to cover all these features, it is essential to know that these criteria are critical to where precisely your website places in the search. Â And Google, from time to time, changes these ranking criteria without letting anyone know. Â Suffice it to say; your website marketing company needs to keep up and even anticipate these changes to ensure that your website stays on top.
Why is important that your website stay on top of the Google searches?
