How To Get Started With Instagram Ads

How To Get Started With Instagram Ads

We are super excited that Instagram recently made ads available to everyone. We’ve been pretty pumped since Instagram announced ads earlier this year, and now we are finally able to take advantage of them. Facebook has added the ability to create Instagram ads in the Power Editor, which you would normally use for Facebook ads. I think this is great because it’s now all in one place for both platforms.

Drive More Traffic to Your Website with the Right Key Words

Drive More Traffic to Your Website with the Right Key Words

Have you ever wondered why one website gets more visitors then another? It’s not necessarily because one costs more money, has great photos or has been around longer. It often comes down to one very simple but often critically overlooked step – using the right key words, title tags and meta descriptions.

Key Words Count
The first thing you should do – whether setting up a new website or optimizing an existing site – is to research and create a list of key words that are relevant to your company and industry.  A good rule of thumb is to approach it from a potential customer’s perspective – what words would they be typing into a search engine if they are looking for your company? A good way to build a list of key words is by using tools such as Ubersuggest, which recommends relevant words and phrases based on the key words you enter.

Google’s Algorithm Update: What You Need To Know

Google's Algorithm Update

For SEO professionals like us, search algorithms drive our entire process. Staying on top of trends and changes helps us help our clients’ websites rank higher and attract more visitors. On April 21st, Google announced that its algorithm will now give greater relevance to mobile-friendly websites and app content in its search results viewed on mobile devices. If you follow trends in SEO on any level, you’re probably already aware that the use of mobile devices to search and view webpages has steadily increased over the past several years and will only continue to grow and even surpass desktop in search volume.

This means that any business that wants to stay the most relevant and on top of their customer base needs to have their websites optimized for mobile devices.

Why optimize?

If you work in an industry where mobile traffic makes up only a small portion of your business, you might be asking yourself why you need to spend the time and money to make your site mobile-friendly. Aside from the global growth of mobile search, Google has found that 70% of mobile users use click-to-call, a feature that desktops don’t have.

With the April 21st update, Google is recognizing the already documented trend of increasing use and relevance of mobile devices as a platform for both web search and e-commerce through both apps and traditional search engines. If you’re serious about keeping your business relevant in today’s fast-moving digital economy, you need to optimize.

Bottom line, having a responsive website is the key to staying in the game and being competitive online.
