1. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
We compare SEO with losing weight and dieting!
Why?
Because unfortunately there are no magic pills!
It’s a combination of actions and tools which must be implemented and then be maintained otherwise your ranking will drop
SEO used to be quite technical and provided by web designers/developers, but not anymore. SEO and Google ranking is primarily now based on good content since major changes in Google Ranking algorithm. Dynamic content is now key and can be generated by your Content Manager and Marketing staff.

Competitor analysis.
Once a good understanding of the keywords and competitor analysis has been generated, the best keywords strategy can be applied to the entire site to improve the ranking and the progress is to be followed monthly.
A monthly analysis can be generated to show how well the site is performing at the keywords and competitor level.

4. Blogging (dynamic and content based)Bogging is a way to share all information such as success stories,
testimonials, news, product or service information and more. Generate trust from the customer and keep them coming back to the site. Combat negative posts - ORM

5. Social Media (Content based)
Why Should You Use Social Media?
Lots of people on social media. If you don’t use social media you are losing out.
Google likes recent dynamic content and therefore loves Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, Linked In, Pinterest and Instagram.
Social media sites generate free content by allowing people to post comments and information Great tool but needs to be monitored and moderated
Use the right social media site(s) for your business and or product or services

5. Social Media
Down side of Social Media?
So much content / posts / information which can be overwhelming and simply not enough time to digest it all.
Information / Posts can be short lived as they can easily be lost within all the other posts.
Best not to mix personal and business on social media. Create business accounts/pages on each social media site for business use.

Trimax’s Social Media Recommendations For Your Company
It is very important to have your business’ information on your website as well as on the different Social Media platforms to link back to your websites.
We recommend having a presence on all these sites under a business account or page:
Remember Google+ and YouTube, as Google owns these and ranks their content well and will continue to do so.
It is also important to brand and provide appropriate SEO on those sites as well which will be similar to the websites (Social Media Optimisation – SMO)www.trimaxsolutions.com Website design Sydney Northern Beache

6. User Database / Newsletters and Campaign Management
It is important to build a user database which can be done both on your business website and social media sites.
This will enable you to provide and share information with customers using campaign management, newsletters, blogging and social media posts.
It is very important to continuously inform and guide users with relevant
information to continue building that trust. Again, it is content and information driven (unique dynamic content).

8. Google Adwords Campaign / Facebook Ads / Linked in Ads (paid advertising)
Once the Keywords/Competitor Analysis and On Page SEO Analysis have been conducted, it is quick and easy to create different Google Adwords Campaigns promoting products or services.
Google Adwords enable you to find out how much money you spend per day, by key words and by campaign. You can turn the campaigns on and off as necessary.
Linked in Ads and Facebook Ads and Facebook Promote are relatively new which means fewer advertisers competing and therefore good value for money. Your ads and promotion have a better chance of being seen. They are both good value for money as compared with Google Adwords.

Google Adwords Sydney Northern Beaches
8. Google Adwords Campaign / Facebook Ads / Linked in Ads (paid advertising)
Facebook Ads are currently one of the most targeted advertising opportunities allowing you to target by Interest, Sex (Male or Female) or Location. Many people spend a lot of time on Facebook - lots of opportunities
LinkedIn ads let you target specific job titles, job functions, industries or company size. They enable you to more narrowly target the people who buy what you are selling. LinkedIn Ads are excellent for high-margin, niche B2B sales.
Statistics are available to see how well each campaign is performing and can be changed as per the results obtained.

9. OFF SITE SEO – Articles Sharing and Social Bookmaking
Once the best possible SEO has been applied to the websites and blogging and Social Media has been integrated, different strategies are then applied outside the website in order to increase the visibility of a brand by using existing content such as articles, newsletters, videos and images. These articles, videos, newsletters and more are uploaded to many different
sites and linked back to your website.
This generates backlinks which is a very important part of SEO. Google ranks backlinks very well.
