Know the stats on effective SEO marketing
By the way, did you know that Google is responsible for driving 96% of mobile search traffic? In particular, if you’re not ranked on Google, you’re in trouble. Moreover, this involves more than just having a website. Consequently, that means keeping that website ‘fresh’. How?

Boost revenue potential with blogging
Likewise, as of 2019, businesses that put blogging on the top of their ‘to-do’ lists are 13 times more likely to experience positive return on investment (ROI) than one that doesn’t. Not convinced?

Incidentally, a lot of small business owners neglect consistent branding and SEO marketing strategies. In short, you need to use more than Social Media for your marketing endeavors. In brief, while social media is a popular route for marketing, recent surveys state that about 3% of adult Internet-users have much trust in any information that’s carried over social media networks.

Building brand trust despite marketing challenges
To summarize, building trust in your brand, service, or product takes time and consistency. Therefore, you must provide meaningful, useful content in blogs, website content, and email campaigns.
As a rule, customize your messages – whether you’re sending out emails, planning a social media blitz, or devising content for a landing page, talk to your potential and current customer base. Above all, let them know through your content that you care about your reputation. Similarly, respond to every question or comment and engage.
