5. Searches start with typing a
word or sentence in Google
or Bing - which keywords can
best describe your product?
Google AdWords’ Keyword
Tool can help you find
high-ranking words, but get
insights with GoogleTrends.
Step 1: Words are key

6. Use your keywords in
your website’s source
and sparingly in web
copy - keyword stuffing
is penalised.
Sprinkle your keywords
in headlines, subheads
and picture captions.

7. Marketing conferences
proclaimed “content is king”.
Articles, photos, videos, slide
presentations + infographics
will boost your ranking.
Make your site easy to
navigate. Offer in-depth
information with a blog,
ebook, video and/or podcast.

8. Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Pinterest are the
main social media platforms.Twitter and LinkedIn
are best for B2B, while Facebook is more B2C.
Digital divides often blur – some companies use all
platforms. Pinterest is worth investing time into – a
picture (or infographic) is worth 1000 words.
9. 1000s visitors don't equal to 1000s
customers. Fine-tune your email
marketing by focusing on customers'
problems and offering solutions.
Check legislation – in the UK you can
only email those who have contacted
you or made a purchase. Include an
unsubscribe button.
Find out if your traffic comes from
computers or phones with analytics –
and be mobile friendly.

10. Don’t put your feet
up! New platforms are
constantly created
and online trends
come and go at the
speed of lightning.
Check on your
competition. Refresh
your content and
monitor your ranking
with Google Analytics.
