Develop your social media presence
Social Media Approach
Audit
Assess current social presence
What is the status of your current social media presence? What has worked and what has not? Do you have a resourcing or focus issue?
Research
Where is your audience and your competitors
Many businesses try and cover too many social networks. We recommend figuring out which platforms your audience are most engaged with and focusing on those platforms in the first instance. Also we look at where your competitors are spending their time, their content strategy and understand their social metrics.
Set your business objectives
What do you want to achieve with social media?
There are lots of content types: blogs, opinion pieces, gated content, videos, FAQs etc and some will be more suited to your objective than others. Inboundr helps develop a rolling set of relevant content for your website, shapes the content to be fit for purpose and depending on your in-house resourcing can provide skilled writers to articulate your message.
Goal conversion improvements
More results from your site
Your website will have clear goals – for example the number of leads or online transactions generated. ‘Goal conversion’ is the number of goals achieved divided by the total number of website visitors over a period of time. As inboundr focuses on business outcomes for clients, we understand the content, actions and events which attract users who convert and implement tactics to improve your conversion rate. Tactics may include call to action features, offers, content downloads, lightboxes etc. Also see our Inbound Marketing services.
Off-site methods
Google attributes value to your overall presence on relevant third-party websites. Here are some of the tactics we use as part of boosting your presence across the web.
Inbound links
Building inbound links to your website from relevant third-party sites
To rank highly in Google, building inbound links from relevant third-party sites to your website is critical. Google attributes value to your site if it can see contextually relevant websites linking to you. For local businesses, inboundr submit your details to various local directories and forums; for sector specific businesses we build connections with relevant sites, listings and publications.
Press releases
Engage relevant and large audiences to your content
Creating a network of trusted websites and journalists to share your press releases, content and blogs with is a great way to get relevant inbound links.
Guest blogging
Build your profile
Writing content for relevant blogs and media websites can be a great PR vehicle and has an SEO impact if you trade your expertise for links to you site. Increasing your profile in this way also can increase brand search terms – ie when a search user types in your company name.
