Get Found Online
    Consumers are searching for your products and services online.
    Is your website getting found?




1
The Internet has profoundly transformed the way people learn about and shop
for products. Ten years ago, companies reached their consumers through trade
shows, print advertising, and other traditional marketing methods. Today,
consumers start their shopping experience by looking on the Internet, in the search
engines, the blogosphere, and social media sites. In order to remain competitive,
businesses’ websites need to be found online by the consumers already searching
for the products and services that you sell.

Businesses must get found online by the consumers searching for their products and
services in the:

       Search Engines

       Blogosphere

       Social Media

Part I: Outbound vs. Inbound Marketing
The Internet has changed the dynamics of the business world. For the past decades, marketers have used
“outbound” marketing techniques such as trade shows and print advertising, where marketers push out a
message far and wide hoping that it resonates with a few individuals. These outbound marketing methods are
becoming less and less effective for two reasons:

People are getting better at blocking out interruption-based marketing messages.
    The average person is inundated with thousands of outbound marketing interruptions per day and is figuring
    out more creative ways to block them out, including caller ID, spam filtering, and on-demand TV and radio.

The Internet presents quick and easy ways for consumers to learn and shop.
    Instead of flying to a trade show across the country, for example, a consumer can go the Internet to research
    and purchase products or services.

Today, consumers are going to the Internet to start their purchasing process. In order to remain competitive, busi-
nesses need to utilize “inbound” marketing techniques to “get found” by the consumers searching for their prod-
ucts and services online.

                Outbound Marketing                                    Inbound Marketing
                telemarketing, tradeshows, direct mail,               search engine marketing (SEO & PPC),
                email blasts, print ads, tv/radio ads                 blogging, social media

Part II: Get Found Online: Search Engines
Consumers most frequently go to the search engines to research and purchase products and services. Is your

website getting found by consumers looking for you?



                                  There are two kinds of search results: paid results and organic (or natural) results.
                                  Paid results are those listings that require a fee for the search engines to list their
                                  link for particular keywords. The most widely used form of paid listing is Pay Per Click
                                  (PPC), where you pay each time someone clicks on the link in your advertisement.
                                  The price increases with the competitiveness of the keyword.
                                  Organic results are gathered by search engines’ web crawlers and ranked according
                                  to relevance to search terms. This relevance is calculated by criteria such as extent of
                                  keyword match and number of links into that website. Ranking in the organic search
                                  results is better because not only is it FREE, but research shows that people click on



How Does Google Decide?
                                  the organic results 75% of the time and paid results only 25% of the time.




Google and the other search engines rank websites in search engine results pages according to relevance to the
search terms. This relevance is calculated by looking at both on-page factors such as the content on your site and
off-page factors in the form of inbound links to your website. Off-page factors are the biggest influencers in your
website’s ranking in search engine results.

  • 1. Get Found Online Consumers are searching for your products and services online. Is your website getting found? 1
  • 2. The Internet has profoundly transformed the way people learn about and shop for products. Ten years ago, companies reached their consumers through trade shows, print advertising, and other traditional marketing methods. Today, consumers start their shopping experience by looking on the Internet, in the search engines, the blogosphere, and social media sites. In order to remain competitive, businesses’ websites need to be found online by the consumers already searching for the products and services that you sell. Businesses must get found online by the consumers searching for their products and services in the: Search Engines Blogosphere Social Media 2
  • 3. Part I: Outbound vs. Inbound Marketing The Internet has changed the dynamics of the business world. For the past decades, marketers have used “outbound” marketing techniques such as trade shows and print advertising, where marketers push out a message far and wide hoping that it resonates with a few individuals. These outbound marketing methods are becoming less and less effective for two reasons: People are getting better at blocking out interruption-based marketing messages. The average person is inundated with thousands of outbound marketing interruptions per day and is figuring out more creative ways to block them out, including caller ID, spam filtering, and on-demand TV and radio. The Internet presents quick and easy ways for consumers to learn and shop. Instead of flying to a trade show across the country, for example, a consumer can go the Internet to research and purchase products or services. Today, consumers are going to the Internet to start their purchasing process. In order to remain competitive, busi- nesses need to utilize “inbound” marketing techniques to “get found” by the consumers searching for their prod- ucts and services online. Outbound Marketing Inbound Marketing telemarketing, tradeshows, direct mail, search engine marketing (SEO & PPC), email blasts, print ads, tv/radio ads blogging, social media Interruption Permission 3
  • 4. Part II: Get Found Online: Search Engines Consumers most frequently go to the search engines to research and purchase products and services. Is your Organic Search is Best website getting found by consumers looking for you? There are two kinds of search results: paid results and organic (or natural) results. Paid results are those listings that require a fee for the search engines to list their link for particular keywords. The most widely used form of paid listing is Pay Per Click (PPC), where you pay each time someone clicks on the link in your advertisement. The price increases with the competitiveness of the keyword. Organic results are gathered by search engines’ web crawlers and ranked according to relevance to search terms. This relevance is calculated by criteria such as extent of keyword match and number of links into that website. Ranking in the organic search results is better because not only is it FREE, but research shows that people click on How Does Google Decide? the organic results 75% of the time and paid results only 25% of the time. Google and the other search engines rank websites in search engine results pages according to relevance to the search terms. This relevance is calculated by looking at both on-page factors such as the content on your site and off-page factors in the form of inbound links to your website. Off-page factors are the biggest influencers in your website’s ranking in search engine results. 4
