Are new Customers calling you?

If you are on page 1 of Google, yes, new Customers will find you and you should get some calls.

However, if you are in the top 5, on page 1, then you are getting MOST of the calls. Just like the alphabetical listing in the yellow pages, the top listing on the first page gets the most calls. It’s the same with Google, Bing, and Yahoo. The top spot gets the most and the bottom spot gets the least.

So where are you ranking? I have a new FREE ranking tool for you to try. All you need is your business phone number.

A reverse lookup will happen to find your keywords. Then you will see a report on how you are doing.

Page 1 of Google = Profitable Visibility.

If you find you don’t like your ranking, and someone else is getting all the calls, then go back and start with my previous tip to get listed.

General Tips

Change the words Social Media

Sometimes I ask people why they aren’t using Social Media. Answers are usually…

I don’t have time
I don’t have a clue how to do it
I have enough trouble with email

Even though Social Media is free, people seem to miss the benefits…

Getting noticed even when there is lots of competition in your business
Help you reach the right audience and share your message immediately
Build relationships and loyalty
Find customers

Maybe its the name. The word “Media” could easily make people think of Radio, TV, and newspapers. Those can be expensive. And that could easily be a barrier.

Radio, TV, newspapers,and other print media isnt social. Its a one way communication medium. There is no way to get instant feedback or comments from viewers and fans.

To help get more people involved, I suggest we use different words than Social Media. What do you think? Lets try PROFITABLE VISIBILITY. Doesn’t that sound like something you need?

Would you make time for Profitable Visibility?

Facebook Tips

TAG – you’re it

Tagging in Facebook is the ultimate in online ‘word of mouth‘ marketing.

Why? Because your message appears in the ‘tagged’ person’s newsfeed. Not only will the ‘tagged’ person see it, all that person’s Facebook friends will see it too.

Facebook Pages can be tagged also. This is great in testimonials when a Page is ‘tagged’.

Tagging can’t be easier. You just prefix a person’s name or Page name with @

There is another, little known, benefit to tagging. You get your name out there more. Lets say you have a favorite person you follow on Facebook. You could be their number one fan, by sharing everything they write and tag them in your share. Again, your Facebook friends would all see it, as well as all that person’s Facebook friends.

Boost your visibility by Tagging.
