Whether you are an offline business or an online business, a startup or a large enterprise, your online presence matters to your customers. In fact, it is one of the top considerations in a customer’s buying decision, according to eMarketer.
But what exactly is an online presence and how can you manage it to increase your brand visibility and reputation? Essentially, your online presence is everything that can be found about you or your business on the internet. It includes your website, social media profiles, reviews, and listings on directory sites like Google My Business.
As a small business, you can use your online presence to stand out from the competition and build trust with your customers. By having a clear branding message, an informative and user-friendly website, and regular updates on your social channels, you can make it easier for people to find you and understand what you are all about.
A well-managed online presence will also improve your search engine optimisation (SEO) and boost the chances of potential customers finding you on their favourite search engines. By targeting keywords that are relevant to your buyer personas and optimising the content on your website, social media pages, and reviews, you can increase your chance of ranking in Featured Snippets.
Another way to improve your online presence is to create engaging content that is both shareable and informative. This could be in the form of videos, blogs, infographics, or podcasts. A good resource for creating visually appealing content is Videvo’s templates for After Effects. These are easy-to-use tools that will enable you to create video graphics and animations that will capture the attention of your audience.
In addition to creating content, you can also use your online presence to promote offers and events. This is a great way to engage with your audience, as it will allow them to get to know you and your business better. In addition, it will also help you generate leads and grow your sales pipeline.
Increasing your online presence is not something that should be taken lightly. In fact, it should be a key part of your digital marketing strategy.
With a growing number of consumers turning to the internet to research and purchase products or services, it is essential that your online presence is as strong as possible. By ensuring that your website, social media, and directory sites are up to date, you can ensure that you are visible to potential customers and are helping them to make an informed decision when it comes to choosing a supplier. If you are not already monitoring your online presence, start now. You will be surprised at how much of a difference it can make.
