How long it takes to learn digital strategy to grow a business?
It takes years to learn how to do digital marketing, sales, and business marketing and daily efforts to maintain and continue to sharpen. Fortunately, you can listen to any of these digital strategist podcasts for free and take a shortcut. Standards change and marketing changes over night. Google search "south metro lead generation". That keyword is not a highly pursued key word, but to be able to manipulate the search results takes finesse, time, and money and taking half of the front page listing is fun to talk about too.
I've been doing SEO and Web design for 11+ years. (I was doing this for fun when I was in middle school. Coming into SEO came naturally and today its not as easy, Back then it was easy. Today, Google heavily penalizes you if you don't do what it wants, and rewards you if you know what to do. It really is that simple. So, given the stigma about folks who cold call you, It creates a marketing nightmare for people to invest in their brand when no one knows what to do. Except I've been doing this for 11 years, and with a core team of senior marketing gurus that I trust with my own revenue streams.

Jake Goss-Kuehn uses digital marketing on his own side projects
We run ads today when we want a quick win, and as an anecdote, we had a $200 value product at at the startup Erik Tozier and I founded (who now runs the best 2019 financial blog) that needed advertising. We generated about 300 HOT leads generated for $1 each of people that was. Those aren't cold, these are people who requested more information. That's direct response marketing.
We know their names, number, and people similar to those. We do business apps. Reputation management, is the best with selling, specializing [ You are only as good as your last review, if you go to Amazon, you'll see this, but what it is, its a guide for small biz, why reputation management is important...
Because your reputation is surrounded by these 3 things: Website, Social media, and Search presence. Consider how do you look on google when you're a buyer. This was two years ago.
He now runs over 20 websites that are ranking for specific industries in a city, that is collecting digital "rent". If you need to learn how to do this, you can hire him or check the top SEO in the world that has helped Jake grow his business and learn how to rank and rent your website too.
Jake recommends these customer support tips
If you have a review on your official reviews page... that could be mitigated by having a social media manager support team. Getting people to message your business on Facebook, when you're not responsive hurts your brand. Setup a chat bot on your websites to answer basic questions until they actually need to talk with a human. Then have it forward the texts straight to your phone so you can reply back. It might be overwhelming and texts you don't want will go to you, but your brand won't be hit with the reputation of "never accessible" and you'll have direct access to people who need you.
Any leads, prospects, and qualified opportunities can go through this process too. This alone might shave off 50% of your prospecting effort - just have them reach out to you and get help
How Minneapolis SEO consulting helps
Search engine optimization or SEO is HUGE or obvious reasons. When people have a problem, what do you do? You google it, right? Relearned this the hard way by studying Ruan Marhino's content, and distilled the advice of hundreds of digital marketing gurus on our digital strategy blog. So take the shortcut and learn from other's investments of time and money.
But use SEO to be where your customers are trying to find companies. If your biz isn't there to answer your ideal customers questions, you're missing on that. First thing: Make sure google my business, Go Google and type in your biz. You'll see a "google my business" profile you can set up or claim, for free. If you don't know how to do it, or don't want to, don't understand, we do that. But we've written a massive guide on how you can do SEO content strategy for your own blog.
Google reviews? After you done business you've done, ask them for email address, send them link to google my business page, so they can leave review. Leaving a review is overlooked in small businesses because our behavior, you don't buy the thing with 0 reviews, you buy the thing with the best reviews. Then what is overlooked, consistent accurate listing business listing data that have your business listed. If your name of your biz is a little different, some of them have LLC, some don't, and your address changed and you moved 3 times in last time, and if you don't annually change it, b/c your customers cant find you, but google sees that and reward that if everything is accurate and case sensitive.
A NAP is a Name/Address/Phone number on a website and is a business citation. We offer these listings to get local SEO Results pretty damn quickly.
To answer your ideal customers questions, first thing you need to do as a SBO is to make sure your "google my business" + name of your biz, you'll find your biz, if you haen't claimed that is , you fill find 80% of local business is won within 5 miles of your business. And 33% of all new business is won just by people sitting in their car typing, "web designer near me" or whatever.
