We’ve compiled the top seven apps you need to know about to flood your site with new fans.
Driving traffic to your website is the obvious goal, but just because you have a website doesn’t necessarily mean it’s being found by the right people. Site Booster gets your website listed in all of the places that matter, allowing you to rank higher in the top directories and in the most popular search engines like Google and Bing.
It’s essential that you encourage social engagement with your users through your various social channels. However, inviting a visitor to check out your Facebook or Twitter page re-directs them away from the website you’re working so hard to drive traffic to. Smart Social Icons allows your visitors to browse your social channels while keeping them on your website. Each social icon opens up right on your website, allowing your users to engage and connect while still remaining inside your website.
Pay-per-click advertising, (or PPC in the halls of a marketing department), is a great way to attract more site visits from your target audience. Never heard of it? No problem. Let’s say you’re using a program like GoogleAdWords. You choose a series of words that represent your business and “bid” on them. Then when someone searches for those words on Google, your website will show up at the top of the list. As you might have guessed, the best part is you only pay per click.
To many a small business owner, PPC can be an intimidating term. You want to choose your search words, define your right audience and expand your reach, even when your budget doesn’t exactly compete with that of the big guys. SearchBoost does the job for you by developing custom ads for Google and Bing while targeting the most relevant audience for your business. In other words, you’ve now got a PPC specialist in-house working around the clock to bring in the most targeted traffic straight to your website.
We’re living in a serious social revolution so if you want to keep up with your competitors, it’s essential that you have a presence on social media. Gone are the days where it’s enough to post on your personal Facebook in hopes that your aunt in Connecticut spreads the word of your new biz to her book club. While organic posts are still essential, it’s time to include social ads in your marketing strategy.
SocialBoost creates custom Facebook advertising campaigns for you based on your audience and your budget. Not only will your favorite aunt see it, but people you’ve never heard of will be viewing your stunning site inside their newsfeed.
