Our FAQ section covers everything from basic concepts to advanced strategies, helping you make informed decisions about your marketing investments. Book an appointment Top Categories Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Google Listing Management Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Social Media Marketing Reviews Management Website Design SEO   What exactly is SEO, and why is it important for my website? SEO (Search Engine Optimization) means making your website more visible on search engines like Google. If your site shows up higher in search results, more people will find you online. This means more potential customers for your business! By using proven SEO strategies, we can boost your search engine visibility and get more people to visit your website.   What is 'on-page' and 'off-page' SEO, and what's the difference? SEO has two main parts: on-page and off-page optimization. On-page SEO is all about making the content and code of your website better. Think of it like tweaking stuff like title tags, meta descriptions, headings, and image alt text. Off-page SEO, on the other hand, is about getting your website noticed outside of your site. We're talking link building, social media, and content promotion – you know, getting the word out there. You need both on-page and off-page SEO to rank high in search results. Don't worry, our team will handle both and make sure your site is totally optimized for search engines.   How long...

- Categories: Websites

Hey there, busy business owners! It's Ziplocal, here to help you navigate the world of online marketing without the usual sales pitch. We know you're bombarded with offers and options, so let's break down something simple and essential: your Google My Business (GMB) profile. You already know how important it is to show up in local Google searches. But did you know you can manage a GMB profile even if you don't have a website? It's true! This can be a great starting point, acting as your online storefront window – clean, informative, and inviting. But to truly unlock the power of your online presence, a website is key. Here's Why While a website-less GMB profile offers a simple and free way to get online, it comes with limitations. Think of it like this: your GMB profile is like a business card, providing essential contact information and a quick snapshot of what you offer. A website, on the other hand, is like your complete brochure, giving you the space to tell your story, showcase your products or services in detail, and build deeper connections with potential customers. Here's A Breakdown GMB Profile (without a website): Pros: Easy setup, cost-effective, essential information readily available, direct customer interaction. Cons: Limited information, less branding control, missed opportunities for expanded content and features, potential credibility concerns. GMB Profile + Website: Pros: All the benefits of a GMB profile PLUS expanded content, full branding control, online ordering, appointment scheduling, lead generation, enhanced credibility, and greater...

It’s well known that online reviews are one of the most powerful tools a small business can use to attract new customers. Over 90% of consumers read online reviews before buying a product or service. Positive feedback can boost your reputation and help potential clients feel confident when choosing your services. But, how you present these reviews on your website can significantly affect their impact. What best practices can you follow to get the most value from your online reviews? Create a Page On Your Website To Display Reviews Place your reviews on a dedicated page on your website to ensure they stand out. A well-organized, easy-to-find reviews page benefits potential customers and search engines. For customers, having a centralized page for testimonials gives them easy access to proof of your quality service. They won't have to search multiple pages or scroll endlessly to find reviews—they can head straight to one place and get all the information they need. For search engines, having a Reviews page can improve your SEO (Search Engine Optimization). When search engines crawl your site, your testimonials will be easily identifiable, making it likely that the keywords within the reviews related to your products and services will be picked up. Additionally, you can utilize a Reviews Schema to help your reviews be used in rich text snippets.

- Categories: Marketing Strategy, SEO

Most small businesses resort to Angi’s or Thumbtack to generate leads. Historically, it’s been a source for getting your name out there, while simultaneously attracting individuals who are looking for your service. However, there are important things to consider before just jumping right in to paying for these leads. What to consider when choosing Thumbtack and Angi Leads: Thumbtack and Angi are popular platforms for generating leads, but they often send the same leads to multiple contractors. Here’s what you can expect: Lead Sharing: You’ll be competing with other contractors for the same potential clients. Price Shoppers: Many leads from these platforms tend to look for the lowest price. Lower Conversion Rates: With heavy competition, your chances of securing the job may dramatically decrease. While these platforms can provide a consistent stream of leads, they may not be the best fit for contractors looking to build a stable and profitable business. So what should you do instead? Invest in Your Own Digital Marketing and Website Leads Rather Than Thumbtack or Angi’s: Exclusive Leads: Unlike platforms like Thumbtack or Angi, where leads are shared with multiple contractors, investing in your own digital marketing ensures that the leads you receive are exclusive to your business. You won’t be competing with others for the same customer, increasing your chances of converting leads into paying clients. Higher Quality Customers: When customers find you through your own website or digital campaigns, they are more likely to be genuinely interested in your services and less focused...

In our previous blog post, we walked you through the process of getting Google Guaranteed. Now, let's dive deeper into the world of Google Local Service Ads (LSAs) and understand how they interact with the coveted Google Guaranteed badge. Understanding Google Local Service Ads (LSAs) Think of Google Local Service Ads as a fast track to the top of Google search results for local businesses. These ads appear prominently at the very top, even above traditional Google Ads, when users search for services in their area. What sets LSAs apart is that they focus on showcasing businesses that have earned the Google Guaranteed badge. This means that customers see your ad along with the assurance that Google backs your services. Can You Have the Google Guaranteed Badge Without LSAs? The badge is specifically tied to the LSA program, and businesses must actively participate in LSAs to display it. While you can get your business verified through Google My Business, this verification is separate from the Google Guarantee and doesn't grant you the badge. Even if you've been approved for the Google Guarantee through the LSA program, the badge will only be visible when your LSAs are actively running. The Benefits of Combining Google Guaranteed with LSAs Enhanced Trust and Credibility: The Google Guaranteed badge signals to potential customers that your business has been vetted and meets Google's high standards. When you combine this with LSAs, you essentially create a powerful trust signal that sets you apart from the competition. Increased...

In today’s digital age, online reviews have become an essential component of the consumer decision-making process. Whether purchasing a product, booking a hotel, or trying out a new restaurant, we often rely on the experiences and opinions of others to guide our choices. In fact, 93% of consumers say online reviews impact their purchasing decisions. Here are three techniques to enhance the quantity and quality of reviews. Request Reviews The first technique is one of the most effective ways to increase customer reviews. Simply ask your customers to leave a review. After a customer completes a purchase or uses your service, follow up with an email or message asking them to leave feedback on your website or review platform. When you ask for reviews, you show your customers that you value their input and appreciate their opinions. It’s important to note that you should be transparent and authentic when requesting reviews. Don’t incentivize customers to leave reviews, and don’t try to manipulate the review content. Focus on delivering a great experience to your customers, and positive reviews will come naturally. Make the Process Simple The second technique is to make the review process as simple as possible for customers. Customers are more likely to leave a review if the process is quick and easy. Include direct links to your review profiles or use review platforms like this one that allow customers to leave feedback directly on your website without having to create a separate account.

No Persuasive Call to Action One of the most important things you need to do to get people to buy from your website is to actually tell them to buy from it. This may seem pushy and overbearing, but it's important. Somewhere on your page, you should have a call to action that tells your potential customer how they can take the next step. The key to success is crafting the message in a way that makes people feel good about buying. Instead of a big button that says "Buy Now! " right at the top of the site, use testimonials and stories to show how your product or service will help and invite your customer to see the benefits for themselves by making a purchase. 2.

Understanding Website Traffic and Conversions: This blog will explore this important topic Long gone are the days when having a website for your business enterprise was optional. Having a website is critical for making customers aware of your brand and the products or services you offer. Over 5 billion people use the internet regularly, including eCommerce. It’s not enough to have a website. You want one that sees the right amount of traffic and attracts your intended audience or customer base. A successful site doesn’t happen by accident. You need to understand traffic vs conversions and how they factor into online success. Understanding the Importance of Traffic Although it’s essential that your website loads properly and looks professional, none of that matters if few people are visiting it. Imagine having a brick-and-mortar store in an area that shoppers don’t visit. Your website needs more traffic to support your business with sales, but how should you go about attracting more visitors? One of the most crucial factors in site visibility is search engine rankings. Many people use search engines like Google to find online content. If your site doesn’t rank high enough on search results, you’re missing out on traffic. Search engine optimization focuses on improving your website’s ranking. This usually involves an intentional strategy that includes improving content (specifically the use of keywords), linking to relevant sites, and arranging your site’s code accordingly.

Marketing For Roofers and Home Improvement Companies: Why It is Important for Growth To grow a business, you must build and grow a customer base. That's especially important for home improvement companies, which rely on projects from clients to bring in money. But what's the best way to reach those new customers? In today's technology-driven world, creating a marketing plan for home services companies is the way to go. Word of Mouth Is Not Enough Many home services businesses like roofers have historically relied on word of mouth to get new clients. You do an excellent job for someone, they refer you to a friend or relative, and you pick up a new client. However, the way people live and make decisions has changed. First, people tend to be a bit more independent these days. They may not live near family or have as large of a network of friends as you would think, so recommendations don't happen as often. Also, people have gotten used to searching online and finding the service they need. This is why marketing plans for roofing companies and other businesses are so needed. Digital Marketing Makes the Difference So what goes into a digital marketing plan for a business like a roofer? At ZipLocal, we start by evaluating what you already have in place. Does your website work well on computers and mobile devices? Are you getting enough attention in local search results? Once we identify your obstacles, we can make a strategy to improve...

Local vs Organic Searches: What Are The Differences And How Can I Utilize Both to Grow My Business? If you are working on improving your company's online presence, you've probably been hearing terms like local search and organic search results. But what exactly do those terms mean? Understanding Local vs Organic searches can help focus your marketing efforts in the most beneficial places. I NEED ASSISTANCE! Local Search Local search results are just that - results for businesses that search engines believe are local to you or the area that you are searching in. They are accompanied by business information, like address and phone number, and a map showing where each business is located. For example, when your Google My Business listing shows up in a search - that is a local result! Being present in local search results is the best way to connect to customers that are close by. This is especially important to businesses with brick and mortar locations - such as restaurants, shops, mechanics, etc. Potential customers who are looking for these types of businesses, are generally looking for someplace nearby and not willing to travel long distances to dine or shop for goods. Optimizing your GMB listing is essential to building a strong local search presence. Organic Search Organic search results will show up beneath local search results, or they may be the only results if no local businesses can be found. Organic results link back directly to a website and include a snippet, or...

Whether you sell B2B or B2C, your customers' appetite for good service is only increasing, which means your service level must be up to snuff.

If you ask a business owner how they are different from their competition, they will likely note customer service. But are you really walking the walk, when it comes to this area? Whether you sell B2B or B2C, your customers’ appetite for good service is only increasing, which means your service level must be up to snuff. Here’s how to take your customer service to the next level: Motivate employees. Help them help you succeed. That means helping them understand the goals you want them to reach and how you’re measuring them. Communicate your expectations and make sure they have the knowledge and tools they need to deliver top-of-the-line service. For instance, you might create a cheat sheet of answers to FAQs or customer service procedures to follow so employees can have this at their fingertips. It doesn’t have to be all serious either. You might consider engaging employees in friendly competitions and offer prizes for the winners. Or motivate employees to top their own sales goals by tracking their numbers and trying to improve by a certain amount each month or quarter. Data tells a story. If you conduct customer surveys or other means to assess satisfaction on the regular, you might be best served to review it monthly to look for big-picture trends. For example, if you’ve recently hired new personnel and customer problems are suddenly taking longer to resolve, perhaps it’s a training issue that needs to be addressed. Tune in.

What good is content if no one reads it? Here are a few ways to motivate subscribers to hit the "forward" button:

No brand should exist in a vacuum. You want people to know about you and your great products or services, right? One way to do this is through a compelling email marketing campaign. Here are a few ways to motivate subscribers to hit the “forward” button: Embrace a targeted approach. Successful brands know how to speak to a specific group. The more pointed content they include in their emails causes more subscribers to forward it. After all, if you as a consumer are interested in a niche subject, you likely have friends who are interested in the same things. Create a call to action. Research has shown asking people to share with their networks often results in them hitting “forward. ” The bottom line: ask and you shall receive! Keep the subject line simple. Too many ideas can cloud the message. Also, from a forwarding perspective, a one-subject email is cleaner because there’s no need to explain which piece of content the person should read. Minimalism wins over clutter when it comes to design. Forget fancy coding; the emails with simple design will always win in the sharing game. A winning email marketing strategy should be part of your overall strategy. Are you willing to put the time in?

What's the secret to creating "shareable" content? Find out here:

What’s the point of creating social content if no one sees it? Companies are eager to see ROI; however they might not realize their shortcomings when it comes to gaining traction on social media. The good news is there are actions you can take to attract more eyeballs to your page. Here are a few tips: Know your audience. Instead of taking a sales-focused approach, opt for a softer take. Spend some time studying what your audience is discussing, as well as the type of content they tend to share. Then try to create content that might appeal to their lifestyle. Inform, entertain or appeal to emotions. Know that while educational content can be effective, most people would prefer to be entertained. That doesn’t mean you can’t take a hybrid approach. Also, if you are able to develop content that pulls at heart strings, you have a much better chance of that content being shared. Make it easy to share. Make sure your social sharing buttons are easy to locate in your content. Think visual. Regardless of personal interests, people are naturally drawn to images. In fact, visual content has been found to be more effective than many other types of mediums, including text and even video. Don’t forget a call to action. First, define and refine a strategy. For example, do you want your readers to comment, like or share? Whatever it is that you want your readers to do, don’t be afraid to spell it out. Looking for...

Email marketing can be a great tool, if used the right way. Here's some food for thought:

An email newsletter is only as good as its open rate. There is some strategy needed to create an effective campaign. Here are a few considerations: 1) Do you even need an email newsletter? Some industries lend themselves to this type of marketing, while others will find it a waste of time. Do some research to see what the competition is doing. This will help you determine if it’s worth the investment. 2) Figure out what kind of online newsletter you want to send. It should have an objective–whether that’s to educate or entertain (or both) is up to you. Regardless, there needs to be a common denominator. So, instead of it being about your company in general, maybe it’s dedicated to one theme or topic. 3) Follow the 90/10 rule. That means the majority of your content should be indirectly about your brand. The remaining 10 percent can be used to promote your products or services. Unless you actually have an exciting, big piece of news about your product, service, or company, keep promotional content to a minimum. 4) Set expectations on your “Subscribe” page. The more specific, the better. Tell potential subscribers exactly what will be in the newsletter as well as how often they should expect to hear from you. And honor that. The worst thing you can do is betray your customers’ or prospects’ trust. Here’s to crafting a killer campaign!

Make your next email campaign a racing success with these tips:

Like it or not, the subject line can make or break an email campaign. Are you being strategic with yours? Here are a few tips to take into account for your next email effort. First, you need to provide customers with a reason to open your email. In other words, answer what’s in it for them. In a sea of hundreds of emails that the average customer receives daily there has to be some reason for them to pay attention to yours. “May Newsletter” isn’t very compelling and doesn’t inspire action. How can you add value? For example, you could provide an opportunity for them to enter a contest, make money, save money, attend an event or anything else that they will be excited about, lead with that in your email subject. If the email content doesn’t have something they care about, then don’t send it to begin with. Another way to drive the open-rate is to use clever or attention-grabbing copy. Think play on words or memes. However, use discretion. While it is important to stand out from a crowd, you need to be thoughtful about your use of emotional tactics and other tactics that affect the customer’s perception of you and your company. There is such a thing as pushing the envelope too far. Email marketing should be just one piece of the digital marketing puzzle. We can help!

New to SEO? This blog is a must-read!

With so many rules and best practices to follow, mastering Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can feel like a full-time job. But the reality is SEO is easier than you think. Here are a few points to consider when writing content for the Web: First, strive for unique content. Did you know Google will not rank a site highly if there is duplicated content? In addition to originality, you’ll want to aim for quality. Web content should be conversational and to the point. Next, don’t underestimate the power of link building to boost your rank. To start, offer links to other reputable websites, along with your own links. Know that quality trumps quantity. One good link is worth five mediocre ones. Social media is another way to drive traffic to your site and improve search rankings. Google Plus is particularly effective because it’s part of Google’s ecosystem and can provide more visibility. Last, don’t forget about accessibility. There needs to be a clear structure to your website, so that all content can be archived. Otherwise, you may risk losing rank on Google searches. Keep in mind that SEO is a process, not a destination. Improving your ranking will not happen overnight. However, that doesn’t mean it’s not worth the work. You need to put in the time to see results. If you’re looking for some pointers, we’re happy to help! Let us help your stand out in today’s ever competitive digital marketplace!

New to social media? Here are a few practical tips to help you engage your audience...

There is a truism that social media is a conversation as opposed to a one-way street. That said, your company should take a hands-on approach to cultivating relationships online. Here are a few ways to better connect with fans and leverage your online influence. Educate or inform. It’s human instinct to want to learn or be entertained. Provide consistent and solid content and your fan base will keep coming back for more. Listen to the consumer. As said before, social media can open up dialogue, whether good, bad or indifferent. If someone shares a negative experience with your brand, don’t shrink back. Instead, warmly and sincerely reach out to him or her and attempt to rectify the situation. Take negative comments in stride. In the event of an unflattering post, take a step back and consider what you can glean from the encounter. Is there a lesson to be learned from the experience? Always be genuine. Falsehoods will come back to bite you in a big way. Don’t go there! Aim for a respectful interchange with customers and build a positive relationship with your audience. Brevity is key. You have only a few seconds to catch a social media user’s attention, and even less time to keep it. This calls for discretion when making posts. Use pithy language, and link to references or visuals. Infographics are popular on the web because they can transmit a lot of information in an easily digestible format. It’s a brave new world out there....

Are you thinking about hiring a social media manager? Here are some things to consider during that process:

You have started your own business. Congratulations! Now what? Traditional marketing? Social media? Both? It can be overwhelming when you don’t know where to start or don’t feel like you have the time. It may be time to hire a social media manager! They have the expertise, knowledge, consistency and the time you don’t have to manage your social media effectively. Here are some things to consider when deciding: Can You Maintain It? The only thing worse than having no social media presence is having an outdated social media presence. Dead accounts can look unprofessional and reflect badly on the company. You may have the best intentions when you create your social media accounts, but you’ll soon find that it’s easy to forget to update. Be honest with yourself and if you know you won’t maintain it long-term, a social media manager may be your best option. Can You Afford It? One of the biggest deciding factors will be cost. If you have a small business, it is likely there isn’t money set aside in the budget for salary and benefits for a full-time social media manager. Outsourcing to contractors or a social media firm is an option, but it’s important to make sure you understand the costs before you make that decision. Do You Know the Market? An expert in any field puts the time and effort into learning everything possible about that field.

Search Engine Optimization. SEO. Google ranking. Organic search results. Head spinning yet? Let us give you a brief rundown of SEO basics.

Search Engine Optimization. SEO. Google ranking. Organic search results. Head spinning yet? As a business owner, you may be saying to yourself, “I have vendors to meet with, budgets to balance and new hires to train. I don’t have time to be concerned with SEO! What is SEO, anyway? ” Let us give you a brief rundown of SEO basics. Definition Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website in a search engine’s “natural” or “organic” (not paid for) search results. Brief History Archie, the first search engine was created in 1990. In the mid 1990′s, Sergey Brin and Larry Page began working on a search engine by the name of BackRub. Fortunately, this search engine was later renamed Google. Originally, Yahoo was the most used search engine; however, Google took that top spot a mere 5-6 years after its launch. Just as search engines were in development in the 1990′s, so were websites. Website developers started to realize that they could make money if they could drive visitors to their sites. Website owners noticed that as search engines became a more popular way for consumers to find what they needed, a new need developed – the need to show up in consumers’ search results. That’s how search engine optimization became an important part of your business’ growth. Why SEO matters for your business When your website contains relevant and detailed content that your consumers deem helpful, Google (as well as other search engines)...
