What makes inbound marketing so powerful, is the never before ability to connect directly with customers at the exact moment they are looking for your products or services.

With traditional outbound marketing local businesses are using newspapers, magazines, radio, TV, banner ads and other forms of print media. Using these techniques are getting less effective as the online life style grows.

More people are looking at less of these forms of media. On an average day, each person is inundated with over 2200 outbound marketing interruptions. Most people are becoming numb to all this type of marketing junk hitting them, and they are starting to block it out, with services and products like DVR's, Tivo, spam filtering, iPods, caller ID and pop-up blockers.

Rather than do outbound marketing to the masses that are trying to block you out, you can turn to "inbound marketing" where you help yourself get found. Over 83% of Internet users are searching online with one of the top search engines like Google, Yahoo, Live, or AOL. When you use inbound marketing for your business, you can put your business right in front of those users when they are searching for your product or service.

When local businesses use inbound marketing they can utilize tools that will put them at the top of the search engines, and build a community around their brand.

How our Inbound Marketing System can help your small local business:

The first step, We do research on how and what users are using to find your type of products or services online. Once completed this gives us a good understanding of how to connect with your ideal customer.

In the next step, we build search optimized pages for your business, they help with top search engine rankings. I don't have to tell you how important top 10 rankings are in Google, Yahoo, Bing, and others.

In the steps that follow, we monitor how your business is ranking in the search engines, after about 3 weeks or so we have a clear image of any changes that my need to take place to improve your rankings. This process is monitored monthly to make sure we are meeting our goals. Each month you will receive a report, we go over this report with you so you fully understand what we are doing.

Social media plays a major role in our inbound marketing system, and is really a key component. By Social Media, I mean using online tools like Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Youtube, audio & video Podcast, and Webinars. Using these tools will help connect directly with users and customers. All of the social media tools used are monitored every day, looking for conversations people are having about your type of products and services. When keywords pop up we can direct the users to your business.
