A practical playbook for NZ and global brands What is SEO for AI Search?You want your pages named inside AI answers. That is the point. Classic SEO earns blue links. This earns citations inside summaries and chat-style results. Think of it as two layers working together. The base is solid site health and intent-aligned content. The next layer is answer readiness. Clear entities. Short, quotable blocks. Visible proof a model can trust. Try this starter set. Define the topic in one sentence near the top Add a compact table or list with the key facts Use schema that mirrors the visible page Link to a source when you claim numbers Will this replace your current SEO plan? No. It builds on it. That is why it sticks. How it differs from classic SEO?Classic SEO tries to win a ranked result. AI Search tries to win a named mention inside an answer. That shift changes how you write. You lead with a tight answer that a model can lift. You call things by their names, not vague phrases, and you describe relationships in plain words. Mark up people, places, products, and services so the page says what it shows. Add proof that can travel, like a short quote or a tiny table others might reuse. The foundations still matter. Intent fit Crawlability Fast mobile pages Helpful content backed by real work A simple test. If a model only quoted two lines, would a reader still get the point? If not, tighten and bring one clear table closer to the top. A quick NZ note. We have watched simple checklist sections on local service pages trigger mentions inside answer boxes. Not every time. Often enough to keep doing it. Where GEO fits and why it matters?GEO is a practical layer above your base SEO. Think of it as your answer-readiness kit. It does not replace core work. It guides it. Key moves. Map your topic entities. Who, what, where Write one crisp, one-sentence definition for each page topic Add a short proof or data point in context Match schema to what people can see on the page Publish one small multimedia asset where it helps AI surfaces summarise content. They pick sources that are clear and trustworthy. If your content signals those traits, you get named. Wins to expect. More mentions. Better assisted conversions. Stronger brand memory. At Net Branding, we bake this into day-to-day content, not as a one-off project. When you should prioritise it?Prioritise this when any of the below feel true. Clicks fall, but impressions stay stable You rank well yet miss short answer placements You rely on local or service-based leads You publish facts, specs, or checklists Start with the top ten pages by revenue or leads. Run a readiness pass. Tighten answers. Add schema. Track where your brand appears in AI snapshots and answer engines. Why visibility shifts with AI Overviews and answer engines?Your best content may not always win the blue link. It can still win a mention inside an AI answer. That is a shift worth leaning into. AI Overviews blend sources and present a summary. Answer engines like Perplexity do the same, with visible citations. So your content needs to be easy to quote and easy to verify. Place clear definitions near the top. Present facts and steps in lists or small tables. Back claims with credible sources. Keep writing for people. Also, write in a way that machines can parse fast. That mix changes your reach across engines. How AI Overviews choose sourcesNo one outside Google has the full recipe, but patterns are clear enough to act on. Pages that state the answer simply, show evidence near the claim, and line up visible content with accurate schema tend to be chosen more often. Clean markup helps. A quick mobile experience helps. Being named by credible sites helps too. Ask yourself. Would I cite this page in my own report? If the answer is a shaky maybe, add one proof line and one clarifying sentence. Then look again. Small anecdote. We added a one-sentence definition and a two-row table to a buyer guide. A week later, that page started getting named inside an answer panel for a very specific query. Could be luck?  But it did looked more like structure. Where sources come from in Google, Bing, and Perplexity?Each surface has its own flavour. Google Search prefers pages that solve the task and match intent. It rewards structured, visible facts and pulls from trusted domains Bing Copilot blends web results with Microsoft properties. Concise answers and multimedia perform well Perplexity shows sources openly and often cites pages with clear entity names and crisp tables What to do next. Publish your best answers on your site. Repurpose them into short clips or slides if that helps. Encourage mentions on reputable community or industry sites. This improves your odds across all three. What this means for your content and linksLinks still matter. Mentions do too. You are signalling trust. Practical moves. Ask partners and clients to cite your brand by name Add one named expert quote on key pages Include a small table others can reuse with credit Publish short Q and A blocks that match real searches You are building a pattern of reliability that engines can spot. That pattern turns into citations and assisted conversions. Readiness check and measurement basicsBefore you scale changes, run a health check. Weak foundations hide wins. Look at access and index status, speed and mobile experience, data quality in GA4 and GSC, and a simple way to track assisted conversions and citations. Fix the top issues first. Upgrade content on the ten URLs that matter most. Measure weekly. Then expand. Crawl access, index status, speed, UXEngines and people both need easy access. Start by checking robots and sitemaps, then confirm that key pages sit in the index. Fix image weight and caching so pages load without effort. On mobile, make text readable without zooming and ensure buttons are easy to tap. Reduce layout shift above the fold so the first screen is calm. Small improvements here make your content easier to use and easier to quote. If you want more depth, watch LCP, INP, and CLS. These field metrics often mirror the pain a real person feels. We have seen slow first input ruin a good article. Clean data setup in GA4 and GSCYou want a view that ties effort to outcomes. In GA4, set up events for the actions that matter, such as form submissions, phone clicks, and long reads. Group them into goals so you can see movement without digging. In Search Console, track the pages tied to your answer blocks and watch the queries that drive them. Keep the reporting short. One page is often enough. If you work across regions, separate profiles or collections help you tell NZ from the UK, Europe, Asia, the USA, Africa, and Australia. It sounds fussy. Saves you from bad calls later. Assisted conversions and simple AI citation logClicks move when summaries appear, yet influence remains. Show both. Report assisted conversions in GA4. Compare before and after answer-block updates Keep a light AI sighting log. Record when your brand appears in AI Overviews or answer engines. Note the query, the page cited, and save a screenshot After a few weeks, patterns appear. You will see which topics keep earning mentions and which ones need a clearer answer. Server-side tagging for stronger signalsIf clean measurement matters to you, server-side tagging can help. It reduces noise from blocked scripts and uneven consent rules, especially when you run paid alongside search. Start small. Move a few key events to a server container and compare numbers for a fortnight. If signals look steadier and closer to reality, expand. If not, pause. Build your entity layerAI engines connect people, places, services, and topics. Help them do it right. Name your organisation the same way everywhere. List key people with short bios tied to pages. Describe services in plain words with one-line definitions. Add locations and service areas with real-world details. Link to your verified profiles with sameAs. This creates a map of who you are and what you do. Models use that map to select and cite your content. We often do a one-hour entity sweep for clients in Auckland and London. It uncovers odd profile names, duplicate listings, and missing bios that hold pages back. Organisation, people, services, productsLay out the basics on site. Organisation page. History, team, contact People pages. Role, credentials, publications Service pages. What it is, who it helps, and steps Product pages. Specs, price, availability, FAQs Keep each page tight with one clear purpose. Use internal links to connect related pages. That simple structure helps both humans and machines. Same As links, profiles, and reviewsMake verification easy for both humans and machines. Link from your site to the profiles that represent you, such as LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, and relevant industry bodies. Ask happy clients to leave reviews where they will be seen, and bring a short quoted line onto key service pages with the source named. These touches help readers trust you and give models extra places to confirm who you are. For local brands, review lines that name a suburb or city often help. I like seeing that on the page. People do too. Knowledge Graph confidence boostersYou cannot force a Knowledge Graph entry, yet you can raise the odds. Publish a clear About page with history and roles Use Organisation and Local Business schema aligned to the page Add structured profiles for key people with links to their work Earn unlinked brand mentions on reputable sites Keep your NAP consistent across directories A stable picture of your brand makes selection easier. Content patterns that win citationsEngines like content that is easy to quote and verify. Readers do too. Design each page around a simple question. Answer it near the top. Then expand with steps, facts, and examples. Short definitions, numbered steps, compact tables, tiny proofs, and clear FAQs all help. Keep the language plain. Cut filler. Let the facts do the work. One small thing. Put the most helpful sentence first, even if it feels blunt. That is often the bit an AI surface lifts. Answer blocks, definitions, and checklistsPlace an answer block within the first screen of the page. One to three sentences. Simple words. Avoid jargon where you can. Follow with a checklist. What to know What to do next What to avoid This pattern works for most topics. It helps readers act fast and helps models lift text without confusion. Add a short note at the end that points to deeper context. Comparisons, tables, and short proofsComparisons help people decide, which is why models like them too. Use a compact table with columns for option, key feature, and best for. Finish with a short recommendation that explains your call in one sentence. Add a proof line where it matters. That could be a number from your data, a published spec, or a quote from a credible source. Keep it tight. Two lines can do the job. We have seen small tables copied into forums and newsletters. That is free distribution. It also teaches engines that you publish useful facts. Original data, quotes, and multimediaFresh inputs travel. A small dataset or a first-hand quote can move the needle. A mini study drawn from real customer questions A short expert quote that clarifies a tricky point A thirty-second video that shows a step or outcome A simple diagram that explains a process Place these near the paragraph they support. Name the person or source. Describe what the data shows in one plain sentence. Sector playbooks with quick actionsReaders want to see themselves in your advice. Create short playbooks by sector. For each sector, include the main query types that matter, one answer-block pattern that fits, the schema types to prioritise, the proof you can gather quickly, and the call to action that feels natural for that buyer. Keep each playbook on a single page or section. Easy to read. Easy to quote. Examples we tend to use. Trades and home services. Service-area pages, FAQ Page, reviews that name suburbs Legal and conveyancing. Clause explainers, Article plus FAQ Page, plain language Healthcare. Clear authorship, citations, and contact paths Retail and e-commerce. Product with specs, availability, and a small comparison table SaaS and tech. Docs, changelogs, and short “how it works” clips Government and nonprofit. Policy links, About, and transparent contact detail Sector playbook quick-start table Sector Answer pattern to use Proof to add Schema priority Call to action Trades and home services Problem then fix in steps Review line naming a suburb Local Business, Service, FAQ Page Call now or book a visit Legal and conveyancing Clause explainer with definition and steps Case reference or lawyer quote Article, FAQ Page, Organisation Speak to a conveyancer Healthcare Symptom then action with risk note Source citation or clinician byline Article, Person, Local Business Call the clinic Retail and e-commerce Comparison table then pick Spec sheet or customer review Product, Aggregate Rating, FAQ Page Buy now or check stock SaaS and tech How it works in three steps Screenshot or performance metric Software Application, How To, Video Object Start a trial Property and real estate Checklist with timelines Council link or price range Local Business, Service, FAQ Page Request an appraisal Government and nonprofit What, who qualifies, and how to apply Policy link or impact metric Organisation, FAQ Page, Web Page Contact the team Professional services Definition, scope, inclusions Case study line or testimonial Service, Organisation, Review Book a consultation Schema and data kitSchema does not rank content on its own. It explains it. Your goal is simple. Make your markup match what users can see. Keep it valid. Keep it current. Focus your effort on a small kit. Organisation and Local Business for who you are. Service or Product for what you offer. Article and FAQ Page for your content. Video Object if you publish clips. Website and Breadcrumb List for structure. Use preview controls with care. Organisation, Local Business, Service Organisation sets who publishes and owns the site Local Business ties your brand to places and services Service names the thing you do and who it is for Align the fields to visible text. Avoid padding. Add sameAs links to verified profiles. Article, FAQ Page, How To Article suits long-form pages like this one FAQPage supports short, direct answers and can be reused in AI HowTo works for task-based guides with steps, time, and tools Each must mirror what is on the page. No hidden Q and A. Product and Video Object Product helps with specs, price, availability, SKU, and reviews Video Object adds context to clips, including key moments with timestamps Publish a short transcript for videos when you can. It makes reuse easier. Breadcrumb List and Website Breadcrumb List clarifies structure and paths for crawlers and users Website can enable a sitelink Search Box and capture brand details Use clean, human-readable paths. It helps users and models. Preview controls and when to avoid themYou can limit previews with robots meta, but be careful. If you block snippets, you might limit reuse in AI experiences. Use restrictive tags only when legal or brand needs require it. In most cases, allow short previews so your best line can be quoted. Local and global playbookSignals differ by market. The core remains the same. Prove who you are, what you do, and where you work. Then speak the language of the buyer in that region. Small tweaks matter more than people think. New Zealand signals and proofShow local proof. Real addresses, suburbs served, and phone numbers that work. List memberships that matter here. Use NZ English and common terms. Bring in reviews that name cities and towns. Add service detail pages for the main centres. AustraliaState-level pages help. Mention licensing where it applies. Use Australian English and terms people expect. Add pricing ranges if the market expects them. Include local reviews and partner links. United Kingdom and EuropeSpell out privacy and cookie choices clearly. Use UK spellings and sector terms. In Europe, note certifications buyers scan for. Add country-specific service pages if you operate across borders. Mention delivery times and VAT where relevant. If you process data, match consent to GDPR and UK ICO guidance. United StatesAddress scale and the expectation for proof. Add detailed FAQs, specs, and comparisons. Cite sources when you make claims. Include testimonials with names and roles. If you cover multiple states, call them out. If you collect data, keep the CPRA in mind. AsiaLocal platforms and languages matter. If you work in more than one language, keep content separate and clear. Use market names people recognise. Show partners and distributors. Align privacy to local rules, such as PDPA (Personal Data Protection Act), where it applies. AfricaTrust marks stand out. Name local partners. Be clear on service areas and delivery. Keep contact paths simple, such as WhatsApp links if that suits your buyers. If you store data, check POPIA (Protection of Personal Information Act) obligations. NAP and consistency across all regionsKeep your name, address, and phone consistent in every directory that matters. Align your Local Business schema to the same details. Use country and city pages with unique, useful content. That consistency lowers doubt and raises selection rates. FAQsWhat is SEO for AI Search? It is the work that helps your pages get named inside AI summaries and answer engines. It builds on classic SEO and adds answer readiness. Do I need GEO if I already do SEO? Yes, if you want citations in AI results. GEO guides how you structure answers, entities, and proof so models can trust you. How do I know if I appear in AI Overviews? Keep a simple log of sightings and use screenshots. Track the query, the page cited, and the position. Check weekly. Which schema types help most? Start with Organisation, LocalBusiness, Service or Product, Article, and FAQPage. Add VideoObject if you publish clips. How long until I see results? You can earn mentions within weeks on some topics. Bigger gains need steady work. Watch assisted conversions as well as clicks. What should a monthly plan include? A short health check, answer-block updates on priority pages, schema validation, a citation-log review, and one small playbook move per sector you serve. Any legal or data risks? Nothing here is legal advice. If you collect personal data, follow local rules. For example, GDPR in the EU and UK, the CPRA in California, OAIC guidance in Australia, PDPA in parts of Asia, and POPIA in South Africa. Work with Net BrandingNeed a partner who does this daily?

Let us build pages that read like a person wrote them and that models can trust. The problem your content faces todayWhy strong pages get ignored by AI OverviewsYou can publish a solid article and still miss out because the page does not answer the exact job the reader came to do. Models pick up that mismatch quickly. If your intro meanders or your conclusion hides the point, systems have to infer the answer, which they avoid when there is a cleaner source. The fix is simple in theory and hard in practice. Pick one clear question. State the answer near the top in two sentences. Use the rest of the page to back it up with proof, examples, and a clear next step. It sounds basic. It works. Robotic tone and thin proofEven good facts lose weight when the voice feels synthetic or distant. Readers sense it. AI Overviews sample lines that are concise, grounded, and human. When your copy is padded or timid, it gets skipped. Thin proof makes this worse. Claims without names, dates, or sources are easy to ignore. Add a compact proof box on every key page. Include a cited stat, a named source, and one specific outcome. Keep the voice plain and lightly conversational. A short aside or cautious qualifier is fine. It reads real and gives models a quotable segment they can lift with less risk. Misaligned entities and messy structureIf your headline promises one thing and subheads wander, models struggle to place the page in a single node of meaning. That hurts selection. Map the topic before you write. List the primary entity, two or three related entities, and the user intent that ties them together. Mirror that in your headings and internal links. Keep the schema tidy and matched to visible content. No filler properties. Use a simple hierarchy. H1 for the core idea. H2s for the main questions. H3s for tight expansions. It sounds basic because it is. This tidy structure is often what gets pages chosen. Quick self-check. Does your page answer a real question Read the first two paragraphs out loud. Ask yourself: Did I answer the thing someone typed into search? If not, add one clear definition, one small example, and a visible next action such as a call button or short form. What human-centred AI content really meansPlain English and short sentencesClear language is the front door to good CX. People find answers faster and stay longer. That helps readers, and it helps AI systems trust your page. Human-centred is a promise not to waste time. Use common words. Break long ideas into short lines, then let a few longer sentences breathe when nuance matters. Cut the fluff you do not need and keep the qualifiers that make you sound like a person. Avoid jargon unless your audience expects it, and if they do, define it once the way you would for a new colleague on day one. Could a teammate read the first screen, nod, and act without scrolling? If not, simplify. Clear purpose and audienceDecide who the page is for and what the page will help them do. That choice sets the tone, the examples, the CTA, and even alt text. A page for founders sounds different to a page for in-house marketers, and that is fine. Say who you are speaking to near the top. It gives models and people a shared anchor. Align examples and questions with that audience. This reduces bounce and increases the chance your lines get lifted into an Overview that serves the same person. Natural voice with light imperfectionsPerfect symmetry reads like instructions. Allow small hesitations, short lists, and the odd aside that shows judgement rather than bland certainty. You can still be precise. You are just stripping away stiff edges that scream machine. One first-person line per section helps. It signals presence without turning the page into a diary. Keep it measured. Keep it helpful. The goal is a skilled colleague talking you through the next step. Formats that are easy to lift into answersWrite in blocks that can stand alone. A two-sentence definition. A three-point list of steps. A proof box with one stat and a source. These units are easy for models to cite and safe for them to include. Mark them up with headings that match the visible text. Place the definition high on the page. Keep each block complete without needing the rest of the article. If it feels repetitive, trim surrounding copy rather than shrinking the block. Why AI Overviews reward people-first pagesSelection signals models look forSystems prefer content that is specific, current for the topic, and free of contradictions within the same page. They favour lines that resolve a question directly without hedging. Support this by placing a clear answer early, reinforcing it with a short example, and keeping tangents for later sections. Freshness does not mean constant rewrites. It means meaningful updates when facts change or when you learn something new from users. Add dates where they help. Name the audience. Tidy your structure. On page CX signals Fast load and stable layout Scannable headings and short paragraphs Mobile comfort and readable tap targets Clear next step that matches intent These are simple moves that add up to good CX. The role of entities and tidy schemaEntities are the building blocks of meaning. Name the primary entity and the key related entities. Reflect that in headings, internal links, and schema. Keep schema honest and minimal. Article plus an FAQ page is often enough for an informational piece. Local Business or Service helps when there is a local or commercial angle. Match the schema text to what people can see on the page. If you say it in code, say it in words. Images and videos that add clarity Use a single labelled diagram to explain a process rather than a stack of stock images. If a short talking-head clip helps, place it beside the section it supports. Give every asset a descriptive filename and alt text that states what it is. Keep file sizes sensible so the page stays quick on mobile. Useful visuals reduce effort and create good CX without slowing the page. When to keep it brief and when to go deepShort answers win the first screen. Depth matters when the topic has real stakes. Start with a concise definition that stands alone. Expand with a practical example, a compact table, or a worked scenario. If you feel the urge to add everything you know, pause. Ask what would help a time-poor reader take the next step. Link to deeper resources rather than burying the core message. Brief first. Helpful depth next. A simple method using GEO to be named in the answersDefine the topic and its relationshipsBefore you draft, write a tiny map. One primary entity. Three related entities. One user's job to be done. This map drives headings, examples, and internal links. It keeps language consistent across pages. Place the definition of the primary entity high on the page. Add short links to the related entities, ideally to your own supporting guides. Models get a clean web of meaning. Readers get quick routes to learn more. Craft concise definitions and answer blocksCreate a two-sentence answer that could sit at the top of a briefing. Follow with a three- to five-point list a reader can scan in ten seconds. Keep verbs active and concrete. Include one number if it helps. If you borrow a fact, name the source. These blocks are ready to lift for AI Overviews and quick wins for busy users. They also force clarity inside your team. I think that discipline helps. Internal linking hub and supporting pagesBuild a small hub for each important topic. One central explainer. Three to five supporting pages that go deeper on subtopics. Link with plain anchor text that describes the destination. Do not overdo it. A few honest links beat a cloud of vague ones. This pattern helps models see your knowledge structure and helps readers get answers without hunting. It also spreads authority in a natural way. Over time, the hub becomes the place you update first. Light governance. What we share and what we keep backPublish enough detail to be useful while keeping sensitive tactics off page. Share the what and the why, plus a few clean examples. Hold back proprietary levers and thresholds. Add a short redaction statement so readers know you do this on purpose. It signals care for clients and prevents copycats from lifting your playbook. The page pattern to copyShort intro that names the job to be doneOpen by naming the reader and the job you will help them complete. Keep it human. Acknowledge the pressure or confusion they might feel. Then state what the page covers in one clear line. This sets the expectation and tells models the exact question you answer. Answer block in two sentencesPlace a clean answer immediately after the intro. Write it so it stands alone outside the page. Avoid hedging. If you need a qualifier, keep it short and honest. This block is your best chance of being quoted. It is also the fastest way to help someone in a hurry. Proof box with sources and dataFollow the answer with a compact proof box. One stat. One named source. One local example if you have it. Add the month and year where it matters. Keep it neat so models can parse it. Readers will appreciate the clarity too. Example layout Stat. Short and exact Source. Named and dated Example. One line on outcome Link. Read more Author card and organisation cardShow who wrote the page and who stands behind it. Add a short bio that explains why this person knows the topic. Link to a fuller profile. Beside it, include a small organisation card with a plain description, a city, and a contact path. This pairing reassures readers and helps systems connect the dots between a person, a company, and a subject. NAP block and contact optionsAdd your name, address, and phone number in a tidy block near the end, then repeat the phone number beside a clear call to action. Offer two or three contact paths. Call, form, or email is usually enough. Keep hours simple. State your region. Small details improve trust and reduce friction when someone is ready to act. FAQ that mirrors real questionsCollect questions from calls and emails. Answer each in four to six lines using the same words a customer would use. Avoid marketing fluff. Link to deeper resources where helpful. This format feeds AI systems clean pairs of Q&A while giving human readers a quick way to check the one thing on their mind. Article, FAQ Page and Local Business schema matched to visible textMark up the page with minimal, accurate schema that mirrors the visible text. Do not add claims in code you do not show in words. Keep it current when the page changes. Clean hygiene builds trust over time.

Pick ten target questions. Search weekly. If you see your brand or a direct lift, take a screenshot. Save it with date, query, and page. Keep a simple sheet that counts inclusions over time. Why it helps Shows progress even when traffic lags Flags topics that deserve more depth Creates proof for stakeholders Track mentions, assisted conversions and contact eventsMentions are nice. Contacts pay bills. Log when visitors who touch your GEO pages call, email, or submit a form. Use simple event tracking. Add a field in your CRM for the landing page and the last page before contact. Watch for Assisted conversions from supporting pages Contact clicks from answer blocks and FAQs Queries that most often precede contact CX metrics to watch: Task completion rate on the page Time to first click on the main CTA Scroll depth to the proof box and FAQ CSAT (Customer Satisfaction Scores) micro survey after contact First reply time on form submissions Better numbers here usually signal good CX Page refresh cadence and small testsSet a light rhythm. Quarterly works for many teams. Refresh definitions, replace dated stats, and add one new proof. Try one small change at a time so you can see the impact. Safe tests Tighten the two-sentence answer Swap a stock image for a labelled diagram Add one sector example Improve an FAQ with the words customers use What to fix first when inclusion dropsStart with clarity. Re-read the definition and the answer block. Remove hedging. Next, check for contradictions between headings and body text. Replace stale stats. Ensure internal links still point to live, relevant pages. Finally, look at speed and mobile layout. If people struggle to read, models hesitate to lift. Order of work Definition and answer block Facts and dates Internal links and structure Speed and readability FAQsIs human-centred content different from E E A T Yes. One is how you write for people. The other is a way search teams judge quality across lived stories, knowledge, and trust signals. You can and should do both. Use the human approach on the page and support it with clear authorship, sources, and tidy organisation details. Do I need GEO for this approach? If you want to be named inside answers, I think so. GEO gives a simple structure that models can parse. Short definitions. Answer blocks. Clean entities. Honest schema. Your human writing makes it readable. Together they work. How long until pages appear in AI Overviews Timelines vary. New pages can take a while. Updates on established pages can move faster. Focus on clarity, proof, and entity alignment. Give it a few weeks. Keep improving. No one can promise instant results. What schema should I start with For an informational page, use Article and FAQ Page. If you have a local or commercial angle, add Local Business or Service. Keep the text in the schema aligned to what readers can see. No hidden claims. Does spelling matter? Centred or centered Use centred for New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Use centered for the United States. Pick one per page. Consistency helps users and reduces small parsing errors. Can small teams do this without complex tools? Yes. Start with one page pattern and repeat it. Two-sentence answer. Proof box. FAQ. Light schema. A screenshot habit for tracking. It is not glamorous. It is doable and it works. What does good CX look like on a content page? Fast load. Clear answer near the top. Short proof. A visible next step. Mobile comfort. If a busy person can act in under a minute, that is good CX. AuthorCathy Mellett Founder and Director, Net Branding Limited, Auckland Cathy writes and edits human-centred pages designed to be named inside answers. She has worked with teams across trades, health, professional services, property, retail, and technology. Her focus is simple. Give readers a straight answer, then back it with clean proof. Keep enough detail to help. Keep sensitive levers off page. I think that balance builds trust and protects results. She is a published author and the founder of the I’m Enough Charitable Trust. She speaks and mentors on practical search, GEO, and content operations. When she is not working on client pages, she tests new patterns on Net Branding first. That way, the advice is based on lived work, not theory. Your next step with Net BrandingIf you want a page that reads like a person wrote it and gets named inside answers, we can help. At Net Branding, we structure content for AI Overviews using clear entities, short definitions, and honest schema. We are careful with what we share and what we keep back. That protects your advantage. Book a short call. We will review one target topic and suggest a clean page pattern you can ship this month. Be seen. Be heard. Be found.

Agencies overinflate projections, bury clients in jargon, and push cookie-cutter solutions. The result? Lost trust, wasted ad spend, and disappointing growth. One director in the travel industry summed it up: “We needed someone who didn’t just talk a big game but actually understood our business.” Here is what one of our clients shared about their Net Branding Limited experience. “In the past, we worked with a "rogue" Auckland-based digital marketing company who duped us. Then, an overseas-based digital marketing company who were absolutely hopeless. We're glad to see the back of them! (the past agencies we have worked with) I recently engaged Net Branding to work alongside our trade-based business. Cathy Mellett and her team have been fantastic, they know their business inside & out, communication has been amazing, and the work so far has been very effective. Their knowledge, guidance and recommendations for services is excellent and they won't provide anything that is unnecessary. There are no pushy salespeople at this business. In the end, I was very happy to find Net Branding, who are well above board and honest to a tee.” Why Case Studies MatterCase studies are not fluff pieces. They show measurable results, process clarity, and client perspective. In fact, according to BuzzBoard, case studies that combine stats with client quotes increase conversion rates significantly (buzzboard.ai). For digital marketing,  Net Branding matters because: They prove SEO strategies deliver improved rankings and conversions. They demonstrate how Google Ads campaigns can reduce wasted spend and increase ROI. They highlight the “why” behind decisions like keyword clustering, schema markup, or retargeting funnels that work. Net branding as a Digital Marketing Partner or SEO agency for visibility, Google Ads, lead generation, social media management and email marketing.  A chosen marketing partner by both New Zealand businesses and companies offshore. Case Study 1 – Travel and Car Rental IndustryThe ChallengeA leading New Zealand travel and car rental provider had flat SEO performance and an inconsistent booking flow. Cost-per-click on ads was rising. Leads were coming in, but too many were low quality. They had no visibility and a fleet of cars that were not seeing the customers looking for this rental service.  They needed growth - fast. The SolutionNet Branding designed a strategy that integrated: A full SEO strategy followed by On-page SEO improvements: refining title tags, fixing duplicate meta descriptions, adding local schema markup for “car hire Auckland” and related long-tail terms. Conversion-optimised Google Ads: restructuring campaigns into single keyword ad groups or single themed ad groups (SKAGs / STAGs ) to improve click-through rate. Data integration: linking Google Analytics 4 with clear measurement and CRM options, ensuring clear attribution for bookings and lead management. Weekly dashboard reports showed the client's real numbers: CTR, conversion rates, and cost-per-acquisition (CPA). The Results 350% revenue growth in less than three months. Tangible uplift in bookings and sales. Expansion: increased leads, improved service coverage nationwide. The result: the business was purchased by a local entity and continues to go from strength to strength. We are still their trusted digital partner. “Trusted by industry leaders for exceptional results. Real Results in Less Than 3 Months: Experience a staggering 350% increase in revenue. Impact on Our Business: ”Focused and Genuine Leads: Quality over quantity, leading to higher conversion rates. Tangible Increase in Sales: We’ve seen a tangible difference in our bottom line. Business Expansion: Expansion and purchase of new rental fleet, increase in our depots, and better service and depot options across NZ.   Partner with Net Branding: Their experience speaks with their results. They have elevated our brand, boosted our revenue, and allowed us expand on our business with confidence.  They don’t oversell. They just deliver.” What we did – within the travel industry marketing.  We supported this business with car rental SEO, focused on digital growth and underpinned the business in New Zealand to achieve its business expansion goals. Case Study 2 – Global Health Industry (BTBTC Environment)The ChallengeA health sector client, operating globally in a BTBTC environment, needed a trusted partner. Their issues included: Regulatory restrictions on content. Diverse partner expectations across multiple countries. Websites not tested with functions falling over. A need to balance global messaging with local market compliance. The SolutionNet Branding built an integrated approach: Topical SEO: content clusters built around health-specific search queries, compliant with international health marketing regulations. Geo-targeted paid campaigns: layered with remarketing to nurture partner engagement. Advanced tracking and source of lead management: To measure partner engagement, customer lifetime value (CLV), and track campaign attribution across regions. We also applied structured data and optimised multilingual content, ensuring content was discoverable and compliant. The Results Significant uplift in organic rankings for health-related searches. Measurable increase in partner engagement and lead conversion rates. Recognition from client executives for professionalism, clarity, and expertise. “They successfully transform our requests into innovative marketing solutions, followed by exceptional execution and analysis. Their professionalism and commitment stand out.” What did we do in this  BTBTC environment?  We supported this company with health industry marketing, topical SEO, and compliant international digital campaigns.

Check transparency: Demand access to analytics dashboards and clear ROI reporting. Avoid cookie-cutter solutions: Each business has unique Website, SEO and PPC needs. Seek a partner mindset: Long-term collaboration outperforms transactional work. As HubSpot notes, businesses that treat agencies as partners see stronger long-term growth because both sides are invested in shared outcomes (hubspot.com). Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)What is a digital marketing case study?It’s a detailed story of how an agency delivered measurable results in areas like SEO, Google Ads, or social media campaigns. Why should I trust a case study?Because they’re evidence, not claims. According to Intentsify, 92% of B2B marketers use case studies to build trust (intentsify.io). How long before I see results from SEO and Google Ads?SEO improvements typically show in 3–6 months. Google Ads can deliver results in weeks, though sustainable growth comes from optimising keywords, ad groups, and landing pages.  It will take longer to drive down the cost of leads. How does Net Branding approach new clients?We begin with a discovery meeting.  No quotes until we know your brief and objectives. What KPIs should I track in a case study?Look for organic ranking changes, CTR, CPA (dependent on your industry and goals), and conversion rates (relevant to your needs). These show performance beyond vanity metrics like impressions. Key Takeaways from These Case Studies Case studies show measurable growth, not marketing talk. In travel, Net Branding delivered a 350% revenue increase and nationwide expansion. In global health, we boosted international rankings and strengthened partner trust in a regulated BTBTC market. What clients praise most: transparency, expertise, and commitment to long-term success. Final Close Out – Case Studies and Customer Feedback.

Our case studies prove that whether you’re a local car rental business or a global health provider, the right SEO and Google Ads strategy can transform your growth. If you’re ready to discuss your objectives, let’s connect. We’ll start where it matters: listening to your goals, then tailoring a plan that works. Trusted by New Zealand businesses and international leaders, Net Branding is the partner that helps you “Be Seen, Be Heard, Be Found Online.”  GET IN TOUCH ### Impression drop. Did your rankings fall andnum=100 → Google Search Console impressions drop Short answer. Probably not. Your impressions fell because Google stopped honouring the andnum=100 results parameter in mid-September 2025. That removed a lot of non-human and tool-generated loads from reports. Rankings are often held. Clicks too. It is a measurement change, not a collapse. (Search Engine Land) An impression only counts when the page that contains your result actually loads. With classic pagination back, that rule bites again. If users never reach the page your listing sits on, no impression is logged. (Google Help) What changed in September 2025andnum=100 removed Your chart dipped. Your leads did not. That is the clue. Google stopped supporting andnum=100 around 10 to 14 September 2025. Many rank trackers and scrapers relied on it to fetch one hundred results in a single request. When it vanished, those automated loads disappeared from your data. Impressions stepped down. The average position often looked better. Clicks usually stayed the same because people still clicked. (Search Engine Land) What to tell your team This is a measurement change It removed many non-human impressions Treat mid September as a reporting break Pagination replaced continuous scrollGoogle ended continuous scroll in 2024 and returned to classic page numbers. Impressions only count on pages a user actually loads. If a user never goes to page two, your page two listing gets no impression. That small rule sets the stage for the step down you saw in 2025. (Search Engine Land) Why impressions fell while clicks heldImpressions include any time your result appears on a loaded results page. Tool and bot loads used to inflate those counts. Removing and Num=100 removed a big source of those loads. Users did not change behaviour overnight. So clicks and enquiries often held. Average position shifted because the denominator changed. (Search Engine Land) What does an impression mean todayWhen an impression is countedGoogle counts an impression when the page that contains your result is loaded. The user does not need to scroll to your exact listing. They do need to reach that page number. If your listing sits on page three and the user only views page one, no impression is recorded. Simple. Testable. Shareable. (Google Help) Keep in mind Page must load Result can be above or below the fold No page load, no impression Why average position and CTR movedAverage position is tied to impressions. When deep page impressions disappear, the maths changes. Your average position can look better without any real ranking lift. CTR can move as the mix of impressions changes. This is normal after the change. (Search Engine Land) What to do Focus on clicks and enquiries first Track average position for top twenty queries only Annotate the break in every chart that includes impressions Deep SERP pages and the long tailThe long tail often lives on pages two and beyond. With pagination back, impressions only fire when users click into those pages. Many do not. That means fewer long tail impressions. Your head terms on page one are less affected. The overall chart can look scary while money terms keep working. (Search Engine Land) Practical moves Group reports by top one to twenty and twenty-one to one hundred Keep long tail content, judge it by clicks and leads Add internal links to lift near-miss terms into page one Did rankings really fallQuick checks on clicks and enquiriesStart with reality. Did people still contact you? If clicks and enquiries are steady, your rankings probably held. Use a simple before and after table for the twenty-eight days either side of 14 September. (Search Engine Land) Check three things Total clicks in Search Console Enquiries or calls in Analytics or your CRM Branded clicks versus non-branded clicks How to confirm a real ranking dropSometimes rankings do fall. Prove it fast or clear it fast. Steps Compare average position for your top ten revenue terms across two twenty-eight-day windows Check landing page clicks for those terms for the same windows Run manual spot checks in a clean browser to confirm direction If both position and clicks fall, investigate content quality, links and SERP changes Desktop versus mobile differencesDesktop and mobile do not behave the same. Pagination and query habits differ. Some sites felt the change more on desktop where long tail research is common. Mobile users often refine queries rather than paging.

Checklist Top twenty queries by clicks New or rising queries Landing pages gaining or losing clicks Internal links added to support near-miss terms When to do manual spot checksIf a chart worries you, do a quick human check. Use an incognito window. Try three locations. Try mobile and desktop. You want direction, not lab-grade precision. Run a spot check when Clicks and enquiries dip together A key term falls out of the top twenty A landing page drops clicks for two straight weeks Regional examples and use casesNew Zealand sampleWe work in Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, Hamilton, Tauranga, Dunedin, Lower Hutt, Palmerston North, Napier, and Hastings. We also serve Paihia, Coromandel, Nelson, Rangiora and Gore. The pattern has been consistent. Impressions stepped down after mid-September. Clicks and enquiries were steady. Average position nudged better on many accounts. Long tail impressions fell the most. Head terms on page one barely moved. This gives local teams confidence and stops needless churn on good pages. International sampleClients in South Africa, the UK, USA, Australia, Europe and Asia saw the same shape. Impressions down. Clicks steady. No sudden loss in high intent rankings. Tool dashboards looked messy for a while. First-party data stayed stable. Perhaps that is the best proof. What stayed stable across regionsThree constants held across markets. Search Console clicks and CRM enquiries Top twenty query set Brand share of clicks Hold to these, and your reports will stay believable even when charts move about. FAQsDid our rankings fall Usually no. Most sites saw a measurement change after and Num=100 was removed. Add an annotation for mid-September 2025 and compare on clicks and enquiries. (Search Engine Land) When did this happen Around 10 to 14 September 2025. Add a visible note in Search Console and Looker Studio. (Search Engine Land) Why did impressions fall but clicks did not Automated loads dropped out when and Num=100 went away. People still clicked. Average position shifted with the new denominator. (Search Engine Land) Does pagination matter Yes. Impressions count only on pages a user loads. Page two and beyond now get fewer impressions. (Search Engine Land) What should we change in reports Add the annotation. Split brand and non brand. Focus on clicks, enquiries and your top twenty. Keep a rolling twenty eight day comparison set for the next quarter. (Search Engine Land) How does this affect AI Overviews and GEO Impressions shift into modules.

Digital marketing that gets you moving You have Flexi Wage. You want customers.You already have support in place, which is a relief, and now you want that support to translate into steady enquiries from the right people rather than a blur of activity that never quite lands. Net Branding focuses on the first month because short horizons force clear choices, and clear choices lead to action that you can actually measure and improve. Our approach is simple on purpose. We help people find you, we make your offer easy to understand, and we remove friction when someone is ready to call or complete a form. That means a fast website or a clean landing page that looks real on mobile, a Google Business Profile that feels current, a small and careful ad test that you can afford for a decent stretch of time, and tracking that shows where results came from. It is not flashy, and perhaps that is exactly why it works for new businesses. What this page is, and what it is notThis page sets out how Net Branding supports people who already have Flexi Wage and who want digital marketing that moves the needle without taking over their life. You get a plan that fits a short timeline, you get delivery from people who have shipped a lot of these basics, and you get reporting that does not require a dictionary to read. We do not advise on grants or eligibility, and we do not try to stretch into areas we are not qualified to cover. If you need guidance about programme rules, paperwork, or anything outside marketing delivery, please speak with your case manager. Our role is to build and run the digital parts, to document what was done, and to give you numbers that help you decide what to do next. Launch records and handoverProper records protect you today, and they save time later when someone asks what was set up, who did it, and where the keys are. We create a dated activity log that lists each task, the outcome, and the link to the asset, and we include screenshots of important settings so you can see exactly how things were configured at the time. We also prepare a tidy access list that covers the domain, DNS, hosting, content system, Analytics, Ads, Tag Manager, Search Console, and any call-tracking accounts. If third parties need verification or if something requires a human check, Net Branding manages those steps and keeps you informed with short notes rather than long emails. At month end, you receive a simple summary with links to live dashboards and folders so nothing is buried in someone’s inbox. You own everything, and we think that matters. Website quick buildA small website can do a big job if the structure is right and the copy does not wander. We aim for a page that opens quickly, explains your service in plain words, shows a little proof that you are real, and gives people a clear way to get in touch. It sounds basic because it is, and basic is easier to trust when someone is choosing a new provider. We keep the structure lean. A headline that states what you do and where you do it. A short section with reasons to choose you that do not feel overblown. Proof blocks with photos, reviews, or even small results if you have them. Contact routes that work on mobile so no one has to squint or hunt around. On the technical side, we set fast hosting, SSL, daily backups, role-based logins, image compression, and clean page titles and meta descriptions. We add a simple schema for Organisation or Local Business where relevant and link to Privacy and Terms, so your site looks cared for. It is the kind of setup that invites confidence rather than questions. Google Business ProfileYour Google Business Profile is often the first thing a local customer sees, which makes it a practical place to earn early calls. We set the correct categories and services, complete your hours including holidays, add service areas if that fits your model, and populate photos that show your face, your gear, and the kind of work you do. People make fast decisions when a profile looks current, and a few good photos can tip the balance. We also add a short Q and A with real questions you hear on the phone, because this lets someone get an answer without leaving the profile. Small updates and review requests are part of the routine. Nothing heavy. Just a steady rhythm that signals you are open for business. In Auckland and in smaller centres like Nelson or Rotorua, the pattern is similar. Profiles with real details and recent activity tend to win more clicks to call. Local citations and NAP consistencyConsistent listings reduce confusion for both people and search engines. We match your name, address, and phone across Apple Maps, Bing Places, Facebook, and a curated set of credible New Zealand directories, and we use the same short description everywhere, so you do not create near-duplicates that fight with each other. Logins are saved, notes are kept, and you can see where your details live. This is quiet work, almost boring, and yet it prevents the awkward moment where a customer finds two different numbers or sees an old address and wonders whether you still operate. Over time, this consistency supports your Maps visibility, and it also gives you fewer support calls about the basics. That is a win you feel in the background. Starter adsA careful ad test helps you learn faster than relying on organic reach alone, but it needs to be sized to your cash flow so you can let it run long enough to gather useful data. We begin with one focused Google Ads or Meta campaign and a matching landing page, we keep search terms tight with exact and phrase match where suitable, and we set strong negatives to block the obvious waste that can creep into new accounts. You will see us check search terms, locations, devices, and placements in the first week, because those are the spots where early spend often leaks. If something does not perform, we reduce it or stop it, and if something looks promising, we back it slowly rather than chasing spikes. Phone calls are tracked when they matter for your service, and forms are tagged so the source stays clean. The goal is simple. Spend a little, learn a lot, and keep the parts that prove themselves. Conversion tracking and reportingClean data takes a little care to wire, but it pays off because you can trust what you are seeing, and you do not have to rebuild reports later. We install Google Analytics 4, use Google Tag Manager to manage events, and define conversions for calls and forms so the same outcomes appear across your dashboards. We add UTM tags to the important links so the source and campaign names do not blur together, and we connect Search Console to keep an eye on indexing and the queries that start to appear. Reports are written for humans. You see what we did, what changed, and what we plan to do next, and you get screenshots and links to the live data so you can check anything you like. If a metric looks odd, we call it out and we dig until the story makes sense. You should not need to learn new jargon to follow your own numbers, and if you ever do, we take that as a sign to simplify. Net Branding’s mantra is be seen, be heard, be found online, and these reports keep that focus practical. Four week launchThink of this as a practical sprint that trades big plans for finished work. It is a framework rather than a box, which means we adjust it to your service, your city list, and your budget, and you can pause or swap items if your week gets busy. That happens, and we would rather adapt than let momentum stall. Week one focuses on the offer and areas, pulls together a light brand kit, scopes the fast site, and claims or fixes your Google Business Profile. We also collect photos and any small proof because even two or three reviews help early trust. Week two builds the site, writes the copy, installs tracking, sets conversions, and pushes live once you are happy with the draft. Week three switches on a small ad test, aligns the landing page tightly to the ad promise, adds call tracking if phone leads are key, and starts a simple review request flow that does not pester people. Week four tidies site issues, reviews search terms and placements, lists wins and misses with plain numbers, and proposes the next steps for month two so you can build on what worked rather than starting from scratch again. Across New Zealand, this cadence keeps momentum without overcommitting. You feel in control. We keep shipping. Net Branding has run this pattern for local and national clients, and the rhythm holds up. City focus across New ZealandTargeting and language shift by place, so we tailor both to fit the city. In Auckland, you might see higher competition and broader search patterns, while in Nelson or Palmerston North, you might find narrower terms and a stronger response to local proof. We adjust copy, examples, and bids across the major centres and regions, and if you serve smaller towns, we add them with tighter radius targeting so you do not spread budget too thin. Auckland. Wellington. Christchurch. Hamilton. Tauranga. Dunedin. Palmerston North. Nelson. Rotorua. New Plymouth. Whangarei. Napier Hastings. Lower Hutt. Upper Hutt. Porirua. As data lands, we expand the winning ad groups and refine city pages so they reflect what people actually search for in those areas. It is not perfect on day one, and that is fine. The point is to learn and adjust without drama. Blog plan for authority and searchA simple blog gives you something useful to share and a place to answer questions that come up in calls and messages. We start with weekly posts for a month, each built around one clear question, one small example from your work, and one call to action that invites someone to book or ask a follow-up. Internal links point back to your service page, and a short FAQ sits at the end of each post to tidy up the loose ends. These posts are easy to repurpose. One article can become three social updates and a short paragraph in a monthly email, which means you build reach without writing the same idea from scratch. Over a few months, you end up with a small library of answers that you can send in replies, and that alone saves time while building trust. Net Branding can also schedule these as part of a light content calendar if that helps you keep pace. FAQsHow soon can the site go live? A focused site or a single landing page can often go live within one to two weeks, and the exact timing depends on how quickly we receive images and your sign-off on copy. We build while you review so there is progress even on busy days, and if we hit a snag we say so and shift the plan to keep momentum. What budget should I start with? Pick a daily figure you can hold for ninety days because stability produces better insight than a short burst that ends before the data settles. We will suggest a number once we understand your service, your cities, and how competitive the terms look, and we are happy to err on the conservative side at the start. Do I own everything? Yes. You own the domain, DNS, hosting, content system, Analytics, Ads, Search Console, content, and images, and everything is set up in your name with admin access. We hand over credentials, we store them in a shared folder, and we document the structure so you are not dependent on any one person. Will I get leads in the first month? Some businesses do, and some take a little longer, especially with a brand new domain or a service that involves a longer decision cycle. We set expectations early, we track every call and form, and we improve the work weekly so the trend moves the right way. It is honest and it is manageable. Who writes the copy We draft in plain English and you edit for tone, detail, and any claims you want to make. Short interviews help us capture the little specifics that make your service feel real, like the way you handle a first visit or the kind of guarantees you actually stand by. Do you work outside Auckland? Yes. We support clients across New Zealand, and we tailor the rollout by city so you do not dilute early spend. Over time, we add more locations as the data tells us where to grow, and we adjust examples and proof so the message fits the audience. Do you advise on grants? No. We do not provide advice on grants or eligibility, and we do not handle those processes. Please speak with your case manager for anything related to programme rules. We focus on delivery and measured results that you can file and understand. Next step Tell us your primary service, your city list, and one clear goal for the first month, perhaps a target for qualified enquiries or a number of calls from your area that would feel meaningful. We will map the first tasks, confirm access, and start shipping work you can see, and you will know within a few weeks where to place your next dollar with more confidence.

It just works differently now. Quick answer. is SEO dead in 2025No. SEO is not dead. AI changed how results look. You still need strong SEO. You now add GEO to win citations inside AI answers. At Net Branding we see this daily across New Zealand sites. SEO earns rankings on the page. GEO earns mentions inside the AI summary. You want both. Not either or. Start with small moves Put the answer first on key pages. Use short lists and a tiny fact box. Add a named author. Real person. Real role. Track leads and calls. Not only traffic. It is a bit messy. That is fine. You can still grow. What GEO is and how it sits above SEOThe foundation vs layer modelSEO is your base. Crawl. Index. Rank. Site structure and internal links. Helpful pages that load fast. GEO is a layer above. Make your words easy to quote. Clear answers. Short paragraphs. Evidence, authors, and tidy markup. At Net Branding we explain it simply. SEO gets you seen. GEO helps you get cited. Together they keep you chosen. Key differences SEO aims for positions. GEO aims for citations. SEO cares about keywords. GEO cares about questions and claims. SEO is page-led. GEO is entity-led. Quick test Would a person quote this section Would a model trust the author on it Is the conclusion upfront When GEO mattersYou will feel GEO most when AI Overviews or AI Mode appear on your query. Users ask complex how-to questions. Local best and near me searches show a summary Net Branding tip Prioritise pages where clicks dipped after AI features appeared. Check where a competitor gets cited and you do not. Start with the few pages that move leads. Then expand. AI Overviews and AI Mode. What changed and why you felt itWhat triggers these featuresThey show up on Question-led searches. Tasks with steps or safety notes. Comparisons and local choices. What to do on page Mirror the question in an H2. Give a two-line answer. Add a short list that the model can lift. Add one cautious note if the topic needs care. You cannot force the trigger. You can be the safest source to cite when it appears. At Net Branding, we keep examples and redactions handy. We study the patterns, not the brands. Click flow and citationsSome clicks move to the AI summary and its sources. Your goal is to be one of those sources. Make that easier Answer first. Use headings and lists. Include a tiny fact box with a light reference. Attach a clear author card. Keep the click worth it. Phone and form near the top. Our Auckland team notices that tidy pages get lifted more often. Small edits help. Perhaps more than you expect. NZ visibilityIn New Zealand, you will see AI features across Trades and home services. Healthcare and clinics. Education and advice pages. Product research and comparisons. Net Branding workflow Search your top five questions in a clean browser. Screenshot when AI shows. Record who is cited. Adjust your target pages based on patterns. It is basic. It works. SEO vs AI search. The practical differencesRanking vs referencingOld goal Get to page one. New extra goal Be referenced inside the AI answer. Write accordingly Lead with the conclusion. Keep paragraphs short. Label steps, risks, and time frames. Use a small glossary when terms confuse readers. We see better lifts when the conclusion is in the first two lines. Net Branding has made this a house rule. Queries vs tasksPeople now ask full tasks. Then refine. Plan for follow-ups. On each key page List five likely follow-up questions. Turn them into H3 sections. Answer with two to four sentences. Link to a deeper page if needed. Area SEO focus GEO focus Goal Rank eligible pages Earn citations in AI answers Unit of success Position on page one Brand shown as a cited source Writing style Topic depth and structure Short answers, lists, fact boxes Signals Technical health and links Entities, authors, real-world proof Scope Keywords and pages Questions and claims Does AI kill SEO? The honest viewWhere SEO still winsSEO remains strong for Branded and navigational queries. Product pages and categories. Evergreen how-to content with tools or visuals. Local discovery where the map pack matters. Keep doing the basics well Clear site architecture. Helpful evergreen hubs. Image and video - where it helps the task. Sensible linking and mentions. At Net Branding, we still see a lot of leads from classic SEO. It would be odd to drop it. Where GEO winsGEO shines on layered questions. Example Best heat pump size for a two-bedroom unit in Auckland What to do if a child has recurring ear infections To win those Give a short answer first. Add context for different cases. Include a tiny chooser table. End with a next step. Sometimes the citation matters more than the rank. We have seen that. Not always. Enough to plan for it. Risks and mythsCommon myths AI killed all clicks. It did not. You must rewrite everything. You do not. Schema alone will fix it. It will not. Watch outs Thin summaries. Claims without a source. Fake authors. Over tidy content that feels generated. Safer path Short human lines. Real authors. Modest citations. Small updates often. Perhaps weekly at first. This is how Net Branding ships content. Low drama. Steady gains. GEO actions you can implement this quarterPage structure for extractionOn priority pages Two line answer under the H1.

Web development is the foundation that makes this possible. A good-looking site isn’t enough. It needs to perform, communicate, and show up when customers search. We’re proudly New Zealand-owned and operated, but our reach is global. From family-owned businesses with over 70+ branches in South Africa, to B2B companies in the UK, professional services in the USA, and brands across Europe, Asia, and Australia, we’ve supported companies of all sizes to grow online. Why Web Development Matters for NZ Businesses – Be SeenYour website is your digital shopfront. In New Zealand, where local search drives decisions, being visible at the right moment makes all the difference. Why it matters: A website isn’t just a brochure. It’s how people see you. With Google NZ handling over 90% of all local searches (StatCounter), if your site isn’t optimised, you’re invisible. Practical example: A Ponsonby café without an online menu or booking form lost customers to competitors who made ordering and reservations easy. Case study (Auckland retailer): A boutique fashion store relied only on Instagram. After investing in a professional WordPress CMS with WooCommerce, online orders rose 40% within six months. Use-cases: Tradies needing service pages that rank for “Auckland plumber” or “electrician North Shore.” Retailers and restaurants making their products and menus visible online. Trust signal: Net Branding was shortlisted for the Westpac Auckland Business Awards, recognising our impact on digital in NZ.  We also support many charities from Whangamata Surf Lifesaving Club to RAW and I’mEnough.co. Global note: While we’re deeply committed to Kiwi businesses, the same strategies help our clients overseas, from Australian e-commerce stores to US manufacturing firms. The Basics: What Is Web Development? – Be HeardWeb development is more than code. It’s about creating a digital asset that gives your business a voice. Front-End Development: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It shapes layouts, menus, and visuals so your brand communicates clearly. Back-End Development: Servers, databases, and APIs. This is the infrastructure that powers ecommerce, bookings, and secure logins. Full-Stack Development: Both front and back, with one partner managing everything. Why it matters: If your website doesn’t function, your voice isn’t heard. A broken form, slow website, or clunky mobile site means lost conversations with customers. Practical example: A new Auckland law firm launched their site but lost dozens of leads because its enquiry form wasn’t connected to its inbox. Case study: A North Shore travel company site went offline after a cheap “designer” build with no SSL or backups. Once Net Branding rebuilt it with secure WordPress hosting, reliability was restored. Use-cases: A professional firm using a CMS to share updates and resources. A school or community group needing a platform to engage members. Trust signal: Net Branding developers follow Google’s Web Fundamentals standards (Google Developers) to ensure your voice is heard through fast, accessible, user-friendly sites. Global note: These principles apply anywhere. Whether you’re a family-owned business in South Africa , a B2B player in Europe or a fashion brand in New Zealand, being heard online requires the same solid foundation. Common Problems NZ Businesses Face with Websites – Be FoundIf you can’t be found, you can’t compete. Think with Google reports that 53% of mobile users abandon a site if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load (Think with Google). Key Issues DIY platforms that don’t deliver: Limited SEO, schema, and CMS flexibility. Poor mobile performance: Google’s mobile-first indexing punishes non-responsive sites. Slow load times: Offshore hosting and no caching hurt Core Web Vitals, a ranking factor. No SEO foundations: Without metadata, headings, and schema, Google can’t index properly. Security gaps: The NZ Privacy Commissioner (Privacy.org.nz) warns businesses to safeguard customer data. Example & Case Study Example: An Auckland interior staging site loaded in 7 seconds due to uncompressed images. Customers abandoned carts. Case study: A plumber wasn’t ranking for “emergency plumber Auckland.” After Net Branding migrated them to WordPress with reliable hosting, HTTPS, and structured data, calls from local clients doubled. Use-Cases Ecommerce retailers needing checkout speed to reduce cart abandonment. Local tradies needing suburb-targeted SEO to win new leads. Building Trust Certification: Net Branding is a Google Partner agency. Award: Shortlisted in the Westpac Business Awards - Auckland. Client voice: “Before working with Net Branding, our website never appeared in Google searches. Within three months, we were on the first page for ‘Auckland real estate agent’ and this is significant for our business.” How Professional Web Development Solves These IssuesAt Net Branding, we’ve built websites since 2008. Our process is transparent and proven. Discovery: Clear goals, sitemap, and audience. Design: UX and UI aligned with conversion rate optimisation (CRO). Development: Clean code, SEO-friendly structure, and API integrations. Testing & Launch: QA for Core Web Vitals, usability, and accessibility. Ongoing Support: Hosting, SSL renewals, and CMS updates. Example: An Auckland agency added an  online booking with Net Branding. Potential customers booked a session in instantly, reducing admin time. Case study: An Auckland holistic practitioner moved from Wix to WordPress with the necessary integration to Google reviews. The confidence in the brand increased conversions. Use-cases: Professional firms needing secure client data forms. Event companies needing ticketing integrations. Companies needing private areas for their customers behind a login dashboard. Trust signal: We align with W3C accessibility guidelines (W3C) to ensure every site is inclusive. Choosing the Right Web Development Company in New ZealandWe believe in transparency. Small business sites: $3,000–$8,000 Ecommerce: $5,000–$15,000+ Custom builds and web apps: $20,000+ depending on scope Why the variation? Features such as e-commerce, booking, and APIs add hours. Timelines vary if the content isn’t ready. Auckland agencies may charge more than regional providers, but this reasoning does not apply to Net Branding’s client-focused philosophy. Example: A local dentist's “cheap find” offshore build failed. Rebuilding locally costs a little more, but they have access to a dedicated team who can support them. Case study: An Auckland SaaS company spent $5,000 on a WordPress website and CMS. It secured customer confidence, and their first growth in customer acquisition continues. Use-cases: SMEs wanting brochure sites with SEO. Ecommerce needing NZ payment gateways and scalability. Transparency & Trust Timelines typically range from 4–8 weeks, but larger projects can take longer. Prices listed are guidelines only. Complexity and location may affect cost.  There are elements such as SEO / Content and strategy to consider as well. We’re a real NZ agency. You can reach us via our contact page or call our Auckland office. Trust signal: Pricing benchmarks backed by the Clutch Global Web Development Report (Clutch.co).  We know we deliver strong value for the fair quotes we provide as we not only take care of the things you can see, but many of the things that are mandatory to Google but not visible to most clients. Global note: These pricing bands apply mainly in NZ. Overseas projects may differ depending on location, compliance requirements, or currencies.

GET IN TOUCH ### How Net Branding Helps Clients Increase Their Digital Presence with AI in Digital Marketing As a small business, you’re probably seeing a lot about how Artificial Intelligence is the next big thing in digital marketing. Understanding it all can be overwhelming, and you don’t have to – that’s our job. Since its inception, our team has been dedicated to purposefully integrating AI into the work we do for our clients. AI is continually evolving, and we want to integrate it in a manner that’s both beneficial and effective, without any negative impacts on our clients’ digital presence. So, if you’re a Kiwi business that’s wondering how we use AI to your advantage while helping you stay unique in a cluttered digital space, here’s how. Ranking on AI OverviewsGoogle and Bing searches have evolved, with AI Overviews now taking the top spot to replace traditional website links. Today, you may see Net Branding displayed like this when you do an online search for ‘online marketing company’ or ‘search engine optimisation’: What does this AI influence mean for your website’s digital marketing? Instead of sending traffic to your site, potential customers are getting their information from the top spot and no longer clicking on websites. In fact, studies show a significant decline in organic CTR when an AI Overview is present in the search results. To stay visible online, you’ll want to get your spot on the AI Overview. If your articles, content, or website pages aren’t there, it means fewer clicks, leads, and opportunities for your customers to find you. Additionally, more customers are using AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity for their searches. Your potential customers are looking for information and services in ChatGPT, instead of the usual ‘Googling it’. Because of the rapid growth in AI search, you should optimise your content so that these AI models can capture it. This ensures your business is consistently displayed when the conversation is relevant. Finding Your Global Position in AIWith big changes come opportunities, and Kiwi businesses are well-positioned to target an international audience with Artificial Intelligence. AI reach is global, and businesses can also reach users from all around the world if they appear on AI tools. While the primary focus of local businesses has been on ranking only in New Zealand for some time, AI tools were built overseas and pull data from global sources. This means that business growth is more possible for companies in tourism, exports, and e-commerce. Even local businesses, such as accountants and lawyers, have the opportunity to scale their operations internationally. So, how does Net Branding help you increase your visibility in AI Overviews and tools? Through tried and tested methods based on decades of IT experience. Developing Content StructureNo one likes reading paragraphs of words without structure, including AI. Just like traditional SEO practices, AI models will prioritise your content if its information is clear and well-structured. This means: Labelling all headings with the appropriate H1 to H6 tags. Add FAQ blocks to your pages Format content into bullet points where possible Adding summaries of your blogs and articles. At Net Branding, we’ll help you write content that’s specific to AI requirements, including FAQ blocks, appropriate headings, and summaries. Boosting Your Website AuthorityThink of the last time you made a decision – did you go to a person with the knowledge and experience to point you in the right direction? The answer is probably yes. AI models are based on human action. Trusted content with a high authority score is likely to appear at the top of AI answers. Consider if your website or brand is being mentioned in the following credible sites: Reputable industry blogs (business associations, professional networks) Local news sites (NZ Herald, Stuff, RNZ) Directories (Google Business Profile, Yellow, TradeMe Services) We’ve been implementing white-hat backlink strategies for our clients for years, which is a similar approach used for ranking in AI. This helps companies grow by getting them mentioned in reputable online sources. Making Technical Improvements Content alone is not enough to rank on AI. Your website should also make the following technical improvements to ensure that AI is able to crawl your website pages: Add schema markups to your site Keeping your Google Business Profile up to date. Ideally, you’ll want your profile as neat as possible when customers search for you. Here’s an example of how Net Branding organises our Google Business Profile to stay visible for customers. Be Early AI for small business marketing is still at its early adoption stage, and Kiwi businesses can highly benefit from using AI in their marketing. Being early now means getting recognised by AI without much competition. AI is an opportunity, but things are moving fast. Larger companies with bigger budgets have already utilised AI to win more customers, and now it’s the perfect opportunity for smaller businesses to follow. It won’t be long before many small businesses saturate the AI market. The Net Branding Difference: How we include AI into the work that we doNet Branding has focused on incorporating AI into our work for a few years now. Our founder is a trained and certified AI expert and has consistently advocated for embracing all technologies as they evolve. Our unique approach to AI? Utilising its best aspects while ensuring it brings actual value for our clients. This means leveraging its cost-saving abilities, using it ethically, and putting original thought behind it rather than following it blindly. While we recognise that AI has had a profound positive impact on multiple industries in New Zealand, we also believe in using it in a meaningful way. With a deep understanding of IT backed by marketing experience and sound thought, we utilise AI to help our clients achieve tangible results and make informed decisions. Checklist for AI Search ReadinessHere’s a simple checklist to help you get started on increasing your website’s visibility on AI search models: Clear headings from H1 to H6 Content listed in bullet points where necessary FAQ section added Website has Shema markup Google Business Profile updated The website is mentioned in reputable news or industry sites Key TakeawayArtificial Intelligence is certainly making waves in the digital marketing industry, but it must be used with a proper strategy. We use it to support ideas, to improve our marketing decisions, and reduce marketing costs for our clients. That way, you’ll get the best of AI while upholding your brand’s personality. If you’re looking to use AI in a way that will bring you actual results, contact Cathy Mellett today from Net Branding. GET IN TOUCH ### Digital Due Diligence: What to Check Before Buying or Selling a Business Why the Digital Side Matters More Than Ever When we buy or sell a business, we usually look at the typical assets. We look at the building. We look at the revenue. We look at the stock levels. And we look at all the things our business coach and accountant tell us to review. But why is the digital side of that business sale or purchase more important than ever?  What is due diligence when buying or selling a business, and most accountants reflect on this and acknowledge that, in many cases, this is not something that they have considered.   Many now recommend a marketing asset audit for any business sale or purchase. When you're buying or selling a business, most people - as I’ve already said - focus on the numbers. They focus on the revenue. They focus on the customer list. They focus on costs and the profit and loss. But what about the digital stuff? Is the website actually generating leads? What is the real source of these leads? Are conversions and information being tracked and measured? Who owns the domain, and how was the email set up? Are the social accounts in good shape - or even real? Are the followers and connectors with that brand legitimate? Is the website domain in good standing? Whether you're the buyer or the seller, skipping the review of digital assets can leave you a little exposed - or in some cases, a lot exposed, as I’ve seen firsthand. 1. What Is a Digital Asset Audit?Not all business assets are physical. A digital audit looks at the performance, ownership, and quality of all things online. This may include: Website structure, search engine optimisation (SEO) or GEO, traffic, and content ownership. Google Business Profile and how Google views it. Social media accounts - access, credibility, content regulation. Comparison of social media standing against competitors in the same space. Domain names and emails. Ad accounts. (Google Ads, Facebook Ads, etc.) Reviews and online reputation. If it touches your digital presence, it should be reviewed. A proper audit gives you an overview of the entire digital footprint so you can be sure those assets are in good standing, and you are not making any assumptions. 2. Buying a Business? Do These Pre-Purchase Digital ChecksBefore you sign anything, make these part of your due diligence: Website audit - Is it functional? Secure? Indexed by Google? Have all the pages been indexed? Are all site elements working? SEO health -Are there any penalties? Duplicate content? Spammy backlinks? Traffic sources - Is the traffic real and sustainable, or has it been artificially inflated over the past few months? Ownership - Who owns what? Domains, email hosting, logins -check they’re valid and transferable. Social media access -Are accounts active and tied to the business, or to a staff member who may leave? Reviews - Are they authentic, or has the profile been suddenly flooded with suspicious five-star ratings?  Ratings that could disappear suddenly and impact your Google Profile. You wouldn’t buy a car without checking under the bonnet. The same rule applies here. Do your due diligence when buying a business. 3. Selling Your Business? Get Your Digital House in OrderIf you want the best price for your business and a smoother handover, prep these in advance: Clean up and back up all logins and access credentials. Remove personal email logins from business tools. Ensure your website is updated and error-free. Run a technical SEO audit - fix crawl issues, broken links, duplicate pages. Link all Google services properly: Analytics, Tag Manager, Search Console, Ads. Make sure all ads are connected and tracking traffic accurately. Standardise branding across platforms. Doing this before the sale avoids last-minute questions from the buyer - questions that can slow down or even derail a deal. 4. Some Common Red Flags Buyers and Sellers Miss Website still owned by a former developer. Multiple Google Business listings with conflicting details. Multiple ad accounts - some disabled or in bad standing.  This will be picked up by Google at some stage and cause issues. No admin access to key digital tools. Website and/or content with bad SEO.  Perhaps outdated or spammy tactics. Sudden ranking drops linked to black hat methods. No backup or documentation for digital assets. 5. How a Digital Audit Adds Value to the SaleFor buyers: Confidence in what you’re taking over. Reduced risk of unseen costs after the sale. Better negotiation position if issues are found. For sellers: Greater credibility with buyers. Potential to justify a higher asking price. Faster, smoother transfer of assets. Fewer delays caused by missing digital paperwork. Wrap-Up: Add Digital to Your Due Diligence List – it is what any savvy buyer or seller should do. When doing due diligence - whether you’re buying or selling - ignoring the digital side is a mistake. A structured website audit or digital due diligence review doesn’t take long, but it can save you thousands and sometimes uncover hidden value. Need help with a digital asset audit? Net Branding can help whether you're buying or selling. We’ll assess your digital presence, make sure nothing gets missed, and help minimise risk in the transaction. FAQs Q: How long does a digital asset audit take? Usually a week or two.  However, this would depend on the size of the business or the elements we run into. Q: What if I don’t have access to everything? We could help recover logins and confirm ownership. It’s common - and it can be fixed before it turns into a bigger problem. GET IN TOUCH ### SEO Is Not Dead: It’s Just Changed With the growth of Artificial Intelligence and Generative Engine Optimisation, marketers and brands are in a panic about the future of SEO. But the reality on the ground is very different. As a digital marketing agency that utilises both GEO, SEO, and AI in our clients’ branding and marketing efforts, we can confidently say that SEO is still one of the best ways to be seen by your audience. So let’s look into this Why the SEO panic? Since AI Overviews have been introduced (those summaries you see at the top of Google searches), user click-through rates have declined. AI Overviews have grown by 116% since March 2025, and it’s only going to continue. But why does this matter? AI Overviews slash website clicks by 34.5%. In fact, the average website traffic from search dropped 21% over the past year. Additionally, younger people prefer to search on social media (TikTok for Gen Z). Even Reddit searches have grown, as consumers look for real people to tell them what to buy, as well as gravitate towards bite-sized information over long walls of text. Considering these facts, it’s easy to assume that SEO is a losing game. But the evidence points otherwise. Why SEO still matters today Google still controls almost 90% of all searches Ironically, people are Googling “is seo dead” more than ever The visitors you get on your website now (although fewer) are more engaged and more likely to purchase than ever. AI still uses Google to search the web. This means that ranking high in Google, Bing, or Brave search directly increases your chances of being featured in AI results. SEO is a long-term effort, and content that you’ve published years ago can still be used today to pull in visitors. The Caveat: SEO is changing. You should tooCreating content should never be for the sake of it. These days, consumers are smarter and busier than ever, and with so much readily available content on the internet, how does your content stand out? By following these steps. Mindset change Less traffic to your site isn’t necessarily bad. Even if you’re getting fewer visitors, the ones you get are genuine and more invested in your brand. This means that your SEO strategies are still working, and you shouldn’t abandon them altogether. Find your unique brand Your brand image has become more important than ever, so ask yourself: Are you a trusted and recognised entity among your users? Just like the best SEO practices, AI Assistants prefer referencing well-known sources. This means you should strive to establish your brand authority online and have AI reference you as frequently as possible. Find your niche When every brand sounds the same in your industry, now is a perfect opportunity to stand out. Consider developing content that showcases your deep expertise in a particular niche. This will give you more visibility in AI overviews. Create valuable content If customers can find the answer in AI, they won’t come to your website. Create tools, eBooks, reports, or templates that can’t be found on AI. This encourages readers to visit your site for more guidance. Consider other platforms It’s never been a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket (i.e. SEO). Your potential customers are probably also searching for information on other platforms such as Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, and ChatGPT. To keep up, consider adopting a new approach instead: Search Everywhere Optimisation. Final Thoughts SEO and its best practices are still very useful for producing results in digital marketing and for businesses. However, it needs to be supplemented with the right branding approach, original thought, excellent content, and presence where your audience is. If you need help creating content and utilising SEO effectively, our team at Net Branding can assist you. We’re not here to make empty promises and jump on the AI bandwagon for the sake of it. We create digital marketing strategies with a very clear, action-oriented plan. For more information, contact our team today. GET IN TOUCH ### Local SEO Made Simple: Build a Strong Online Presence with Net Branding When people look for a business near them, the first place they go is Google. They’re not just typing “plumber” or “dentist.” They’re searching “plumber near me” or “dentist in Albany.” And that’s where local SEO makes the difference. It’s about showing up in Google Maps. local SERP (Search Engine Results Page) local results, and on the platforms your customers trust. At Net Branding, we are able to provide you with a tool that is designed to help businesses create that solid local foundation. It covers review management, listings, and local directory updates. All the things that keep your business consistent across the web. And yes, it also has AI smarts to support you and make things a little easier. Why local SEO mattersThink about how you search yourself. If you’re hungry, you search “Thai takeaway near me.” If you need a tradie, you search “electrician North Shore.” Google pulls up results based on location, relevance, and trust signals. If your details aren’t consistent, or if you have poor reviews, you’re unlikely to appear at the top.  It is as simple as that.  Well almost…. Local SEO helps you: Show up in Google Maps Get featured in the “local 3-pack” results Build trust with customer reviews Make it easier for people to contact or visit you Without it, you risk being invisible, even if your business is great. The Net Branding Tool: how it helpsWe’ve seen too many businesses lose out because their online presence is messy. Wrong phone numbers, duplicate listings, no reviews, different or inconsistent addresses… it all adds up. That’s why we implement the Net Branding Tool. It gives you control over the things that matter most in local SEO. Here’s what it covers: Google Review management Monitor what customers are saying across Google and other platforms Reply directly from one place Encourage new reviews to build credibility Reviews are a big ranking factor. A steady stream of positive feedback helps you stand out. Listings and directories Sync your business info (name, address, phone, hours) Push updates to local directories and mapping services Avoid duplicates and outdated details Consistency matters. If your business shows different info in different places, Google sees it as a red flag. With both review management and listings aligned, you get a solid local foundation that supports your Google Business Profile. It has other add-on features such as social media management and so much more. Chat to our team about these features as well when on a call with us. What a strong Google Business Profile looks likeYour Google profile is often the first impression. A complete, accurate profile should include: Business name, address, and phone number (NAP) Opening hours Website link Photos of your business, products, or team Customer reviews and responses Posts and updates When all of this ties back to consistent directory listings, you build trust with both Google and your customers. Hint: Always remember to understand the Google policies that are applicable to your business segment and always ensure you comply with these policies. Why local SEO is different from general SEOSEO at a broad level focuses on keywords, backlinks, and content.  This area of SEO is undergoing change with the advent of AI, including CHATGPT. Local SEO zooms in on geography. For example: A normal SEO campaign might target “kitchen renovation tips” Local SEO would target “kitchen renovation Auckland” or “kitchen renovation Albany” Both matter, but if your business depends on local customers walking through your door, the local side can’t be ignored. What we’ve seen in practiceA few examples from our clients: A clinic in Hamilton went from almost invisible on Google Maps to top 3 after review management and directory clean-up. A professional service in Auckland increased leads after we fixed inconsistency across directories. A tradie in Auckland saw a spike in new customers after their Google profile was filled with photos, correct hours, and regular posts. The difference wasn’t fancy advertising. It was simply getting the basics right. Why Net Branding?We’re not just a tool provider. We back it with years of experience in SEO and digital marketing. Since 2008, we’ve helped businesses across New Zealand, from small local shops to national brands - be seen, be heard, and be found. And because we’re in NZ, we’re available in your time zone. If something goes wrong, you can pick up the phone and talk to us.  And yes, you speak to people. Do you really need review and listing management?You might wonder if you can skip these steps. Here’s the reality: - Customers trust businesses with fresh, positive reviews. - Google rewards businesses that respond to feedback. - Consistent NAP details across the web directly impact your visibility. It’s not about doing “extra.” It’s about getting the essentials right so your other marketing efforts work harder. A quick checklist for your businessAsk yourself: - Are my business details the same everywhere online? - Do I have a process for getting and responding to reviews? - Is my Google Business Profile complete? - Am I updating my profile regularly with news? - Am I showing up on local directories and maps? - How do I compare in my relevant category? If you said no to any of these, our AI-driven local SEO tool can help. FAQsQ: Do I need to be in Auckland to use the Net Branding Tool? A: No. We work with businesses across New Zealand. The Local SEO tool works wherever your customers are searching, and as long as we have a directory infrastructure to support your location, we can help you anywhere across the world. Q: How long before I see results with local SEO? A: Some changes, like fixing directory errors, can improve visibility quickly. Reviews and profile optimisation usually show steady gains over 3–6 months. Q: Can I manage reviews myself without a tool? A: Yes, but it’s time-consuming. Our tool saves you from jumping between platforms and makes sure nothing gets missed. We can also automate part of this process. Q: Is the tool only for small businesses? A: No. It’s used by both local shops and multi-location companies or franchise businesses who want a singular control point for all the Google listings. The bigger you are, the more valuable it is to keep your listings consistent. Local SEO isn’t about being everywhere. It’s about being in the right place when your customers are searching. With Net Branding’s Local SEO tool, you can build a clear, consistent presence across Google and local directories. That’s the foundation for getting found—and trusted—by the people who matter most. CONTACT US ### Is AI shaping digital marketing in the current times, and what does it mean for your business? The digital world is changing rapidly, and possibly over the last 10-odd years, we have seen a continual level of change. But certainly in 2025, and perhaps in late 2024, what we're seeing is the change moving at a far more rapid pace. Businesses that are embracing AI are moving ahead, not only because it's the cool thing to be doing, but because it's helping them work smarter and really understand their customers more. And perhaps it's allowing them to get a little bit more from their marketing whilst using AI general support for some repetitive tasks needed. At Net Branding, we've seen what works and we know what doesn't, whilst knowing what has a huge impact on your online presence. As an example, I attended a seminar last week with a lady who was shouting from the rooftops about how to use AI in the digital environment. What she said did not resonate with me, and I double-checked her stats and her figures. I reviewed her website traffic and ranking. With this input, I can almost pinpoint exactly where she started to use AI, because her traffic and organic search rankings was falling or declining. So, this becomes the fundamental baseline. The use of AI in the digital world does need to be considered and used, but with care and understanding of how to use it. AI is already reshaping digital marketing, and cares what that may look like for you and your business. So what's changing and why does it matter to you?Traditionally, business owners potentially lose up to almost an hour and a half every day on repetitive tasks. That's almost three weeks or a month gone. AI tools can help you recover some of that time by streamlining some of those processes that are more repetitive. Think about things like automating a marketing task, giving an understanding or outline for some content creation, or even considering some of the design work that you may need to be thinking about and actioning. But AI is not magic, and it really doesn't replace a good digital idea or a good digital strategy. It does work best when paired with the experience, smart planning, understanding of tech, and some level of human insight. So that is where Net Branding comes in. Real use of AI in this world of digital marketing, not just the hype but practical steps.Let's consider some of the things that you can do with AI.Content creation and writing.AI tools, like perhaps Chat GPT or Gemini, can help. They can provide some inspiration for your blogs. They can speed up emails. They can speed up some of your ad copywriting. They can help you, as I've already said, overcome writer's block and can also support you with some A/B testing of various variations. They can support you in maintaining tone across your platforms and also support you with some of the writing and grammar that you may otherwise not actually include in your content. We often use AI and some of these tools as a starting point, but every single deliverable is reviewed, shaped, and then checked by our digital team. Visual and DesignThe next thing is visual and design support tools, perhaps like Midjourney (that's been around for probably a good few years now) and DALL·E, which help you generate brand visuals quite quickly. So no longer that a need for design waits or expensive photo shoots. And for many clients, this actually means faster campaign turnaround and launch with a consistent brand that you can move and scale, particularly if you're thinking about some of your Google Ads. Having the ability to support change of visual size can really help streamline and speed up that process. Video CreationAnother element is video creation, where platforms like perhaps Pictory or Lumen5 can turn scripts into short videos. It is, however, important to ensure that that video looks authentic to your brand. And while speed is always a factor, authentic content is even more important. Video creation is obviously great for social media, explainer videos, or perhaps those sales pages, without the cost of that full-scale video production. We can help choose tools and scripts that suit your brand voice and the business goals. Social MediaThen we come to other elements where support can be included - areas such as social media. In conjunction with social media, chat with Net Branding about our AI underpinned Google Profile Management and Google Review tool. Google Review and Profile ManagementIn addition to AI-driven social media content, we also support our clients with Google management AI features, in terms of being able to manage their Google Business Profile or Business Listing or reply to Google Reviews instantaneously. Do talk to us about our in-house tools that we provide to our clients that allows you to bring AI into some of those digital activities, and again remove some of those repetitive tasks. Chatbots and conversational AI. Today's chatbots are more than just “Hi, how can we help you?” They perhaps understand some context. They can answer questions. They can guide through services. They can extract content from your website. And obviously, you would always give them guide rails within which to operate. This level of chatbot or conversational AI means a better level of customer service. However, that does need to be tapered with many customers really wanting to speak to a human. So, when using Chatbots, it does need to be used with care. Smarter search marketing, perhaps powered by AI.SEO and organic search. AI tools help us by possibly helping us to find some long-tail keywords associated with a derivative of a keyword. They help us understand the search intent. What does the user really want? Perhaps it supports us with voice and conversational searches. It can also help spot that seasonal shift or new topic opportunity. These insights can shape the content, can be shaped into content that ranks, not just content that looks good. AI-powered Google Ads and paid campaigns. Now, this is an area where AI can play a huge role. It can support you in predicting what your audience will do next. You're able to adjust some of the bids in real time. You're able to delve into some of your data using advanced AI tools to make appropriate decisions in terms of your Google Ads and paid campaigns. And again, this is an area where care should be taken to ensure that the human interpretation of the story or insight that the statistics or the data is giving you is taken, and that human decision is ultimately made based on competency and experience. Moving forward, Search Generative Experience, or SGE.We understand that search is changing, and it's changing rapidly. We can see that AI overviews are now appearing in your Google search results. This really changes where or how your business appears online. Net Branding always works to stay ahead of these shifts so that you continue to be visible before your audience is ready to buy, but you are certainly visible when they are searching for your service. Smarter social media and social media managementWith a little bit less of the guesswork or unknown. Let us consider the areas where we could use AI opportunities in social media digital marketing: Social content scheduling - platforms that learn where your audience is active, what they respond to, and how often to post Platforms that support you with the generation of content based on your actual website Trend monitoring - where AI can help you track brand mentions, sentiment, rising topics Now, that's not really anything that has been new, because some of the search or social tools have had that feature and ability for a little while. But with AI, we are ramping up our capability in this area. Community management can also help you. Tools that can help you now filter spam, highlight urgent issues, and perhaps even auto-reply to routine comments. Email marketing. Let's consider a more personal communication to your clients or potential clients, but a communication that needs less work. Email is certainly far from being dead. But you can be smarter. Think about personalised timing and subject lines. AI can figure out what's the best time to send, what subject lines perform, and how to personalise this based on human behaviour. Lifecycle campaigns - things like welcome flows, engagement, cart reminders - all triggered by what your audience does, not guesswork. Think about the old traditional platforms like Mailchimp, which have now pulled in additional features to be able to support you in implementing some of those user flows into your communication. FAQs1. Do I really need to use AI in my digital marketing?Yes, but with care. AI has a place, especially for saving time on repetitive tasks, finding keywords, or generating content outlines. But using it without knowing how to use it properly can do more harm than good. We’ve seen that first-hand. So it’s not about whether you need it. It’s about how you use it, and making sure it’s backed by experience and a good strategy. 2. Can AI tools replace my marketing team?No. They can support your team, but they can’t replace smart people who know your brand, understand your audience, and apply human insight to data. AI can speed things up - emails, images, ads - but it won’t know your business the way you do. That’s where pairing AI with people like us makes the difference. 3. How will AI change how my business shows up online?Search is already changing. AI overviews are starting to show up in Google results, and this shifts how visibility works. It’s no longer just about being on Page 1. It’s about being part of the answers AI tools are serving. So your content needs to be structured properly, sound natural, and be genuinely helpful not just written for rankings. So, how can Net Branding help you leverage AI in your Digital World?As a team, we've been around for a long time. We're not here to throw out those buzzwords or those words that everyone thinks they need to share to be seen as understanding this new tech. We've been involved with this new tech for a long time.

No fluff. Real advice to support you with digital elements that work. GET IN TOUCH ### What Is Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)? SEO's Future in a World Driven by AI What Is Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)? SEO's Future in a World Driven by AILeverage Generative Engine Optimisation with Net Branding’s advanced digital strategy and implementation. Understanding Generative Engine OptimisationHow we search is changing. As AI continues to dominate online, customers are using AI to find products, services, and get information and advice. Generative Engine Optimisation is a game-changer for businesses, enabling them to remain visible to customers in AI-driven queries. What is GEO?Generative Engine Optimisation is the process of ensuring your content is optimised for Generative AI search engines, such as Google’s Gemini, ChatGPT, and Perplexity AI. It’s no secret that Generative AI has been a game changer for online users over the years. Searches that ask a question receive curated answers that match their query, which are pulled from multiple websites instead of a single source. The name GEO comes from Generative AI, an Artificial Intelligence that uses large language models (LLMs) to identify, assess, and organise the information they’ve scraped and provide relevant answers. Instead of just keyword optimisation (adding keywords into the content), these AI models can understand semantics, nuances, and assign meaning to the content. As we see a big shift in user search, it changes how brands are being discovered. Ultimately, the goal of Generative Engine Optimisation is to get your website’s content into AI search models, so customers notice you when they begin their search. How Is GEO Different from Traditional SEO?   Search Engine Optimisation Generative Engine Optimisation • Focuses on improving a website’s ranking in search results to increase visibility, primarily focused on Google. • Focuses on getting included in AI-generated responses (e.g., AI Overviews, Perplexity AI). • Emphasise on backlinks, keyword optimisation, structured data, and technical SEO to boost rankings. • Prioritises credibility, structured content, and AI-friendly formatting to be recognised by AI models. • Goal is to drive traffic and engagement by converting clicks from search results into actions. • Traffic is influenced by brand mentions, AI-generated citations, and any authoritative sources used by AI tools. There are a few distinct differences between Generative AI and SEO search. With traditional SEO, consumers would have to click through a link on the search engine to read an article. But GEO collates this content and summarises it in an easy, digestible format. SEO optimises content for traditional search engines (i.e. Google, Bing, Yahoo). Meanwhile, GEO content optimises for an AI engine, which will summarise the website’s content and produce an output to consumers. While SEO search focuses on targeting keywords, backlinks, and on-page optimisation, GEO techniques emphasise structure and salience. Quality of content is highly important for GEO, as is building content that stands out from everything else online. The more mentions you get of your content, the more popular it becomes for AI. Why GEO Is Essential in 2025 and BeyondGEO will continue to be an important aspect of search marketing as AI’s presence increases online. We can see that the search for generative engine optimisation is growing, indicating that more businesses and marketers are taking note of the trend. More people are incorporating AI into their search strategies. According to Search Engine Land, 71.5% of respondents reported using AI tools for search, with 14% using them on a daily basis. Gen Z is the largest group of AI searchers, with 81% having used AI search tools at least occasionally. This is no surprise, as AI search has provided a highly convenient way for users to piece together information without having to visit multiple websites. AI search is quick, intuitive, and can answer even the most complex questions with surprising accuracy. How Generative Engines Extract and Use ContentAI tools aren’t just looking for keywords in a search query. They are evaluating the content’s credibility, structure, and value. This is achieved by applying the E-E-A-T principles to website content (i.e. Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness). The concept of LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) keywords is also highly important. Generative AI searches are more advanced at recognising related keywords and entity salience within content (for example, including terms like "rehabilitation" and "physical therapy" alongside the main keyword "physio"). AIs are also experts in Natural Language Processing, which means they can process, interpret, and even translate natural human languages in content. Content that has structure, credibility, proper H tags, and follows a ‘question and answer’ format typically does well with GEO, as it allows AI tools to efficiently capture the information. How to Optimise Your Site for GEOOptimising your site for GEO overlaps with SEO best practices in many ways. AI models respond best when the content is easy to understand, has authority, and is presented clear structure that aligns with its patterns. Here are some of the key areas of focus: Answer-first content structurePresent your answer first. This technique involves presenting the key ‘answer’ or message immediately after the subheading. It provides clarity to the AI models, making it easier for them to capture your content. Use of JSON-LD schema Add structured data to a page so that the AI tools understand the content of your page even better. We recommend using the JSON-LD structured data format (i.e. describing the title of the page, the author, about, and any other relevant details). Updating ‘About’ page like a Wikipedia entryConsider structuring content in a third person to gain trust and authority with AI models. This means including key facts clearly and objectively. Here’s an example of how a simple, GEO-friendly ‘About’ website page will look for Net Branding: Ownership and Founding: Net Branding Mellett founded Net Branding.

Just Because Everyone’s Doing It—Should You?An opinion piece: By Cathy Mellett When Being Seen Online Costs so many people so much. Let's think about family and loved ones. I’ve worked in the digital space for years now. I get how it works. Most of us do. We know that public spaces aren’t really private anymore. You go to a concert, an event, even just the shops… there’s always a chance someone’s filming. It’s become part of how we live now. But just because we’ve accepted it doesn’t mean we should stop thinking about what we do with that content. Last Wednesday, something happened at a Coldplay concert in the USA. A man and woman- someone’s CEO, someone’s mother, someone’s manager, someone’s dad, someone’s partner, someone’s son or daughter - was filmed in a microscopic moment that turned out to be a very moment that would become far reaching. Way more than anyone in that stadium may have expected or known. The impact and reach was family, business, legal implications, shareholders and so, so much more. And that video? It didn’t stay with those in the stadium, witnessing the events first hand… It went viral.The woman who posted it later said she didn’t know what she was filming at the time. Fair enough. But then she followed it with how many views she’d gotten. This, just sat wrong with me. What’s worse is how quickly people jumped on it. Companies and creators mimicking the moment.Role-playing it in skits. Turning a sad, real thing into something to “engage your audience.” And honestly - I am not here to talk about the incident itself. The rights and wrongs. As would have noted, I haven’t named those impacted at all. Enough people have done that. This isn’t about him or her anymore. Being mindful doesn’t mean disconnecting from the digital world. It means being present enough to choose what we amplify. - Cathy Mellett Cathy MellettIt’s about us.Where are our lines? In a world that measures success by clicks, likes and shares…when did we stop asking whether something is simply the right thing to do? I run a digital marketing agency. I’ve seen what performs. But I’ve also seen how quickly empathy can disappear when content becomes a product and the want to secure reach, shares and engagements overrides respect, care and compassion for others. And through my work with I’m Enough, I see daily how people feel like they’re not measuring up - like their worth is tied to visibility. It’s not. It never has been. Not everything that goes viral deserves the spotlight. And not every trend deserves to be mimicked. - Cathy MellettCathy MellettWe’re so quick to share. To jump on what’s trending. To ride the wave of attentionBut are we pausing to think about the human on the other side of the screen? It’s easy to post. Harder to stand back and say, “No, this doesn’t sit right with me.” We’ve normalised exposure.But exposure without care? That’s dangerous. And it’s not about being perfect. It’s about being human. You don’t need to go viral at someone else’s expense.You don’t need to use someone’s worst moment to boost your own visibility. Before we post, before we imitate, before we reshare— Can we just stop for a moment and ask: Is this kind? Is this fair? Is this necessary? And if the answer’s no… maybe don’t post it. Sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do online is choose not to post. - Cathy MellettCathy MellettWe can’t keep pretending that numbers matter more than people.Because they don’t. The views aren’t worth it. The reach isn’t worth it. The harm lasts a lot longer than the reel. Let’s all do better.Because it starts with each of us. Choosing what really matters. Not the likes. Not the comments. Not the “how well did it perform?” But whether it showed some respect. Although intangible, That’s what we should be measuring. And this, is exactly what allows us to sleep better at night. GET IN TOUCH ### How to Choose a Website Builder in New Zealand or Offshore Are you looking for a website builder in New Zealand or offshore? Why does this decision matter?Often, you’ll be faced with many, many development options. Some of those options offer cheap custom templates. Others may be suggested by your graphics designer who has very limited understanding of how to place a website online. Some choices potentially bundle domain names in with the site, and at first glance - when you’re dealing with technology that you’re really struggling to understand or feeling out of your depth—that may sound like a very convenient option. But at Net Branding, we’ve built hundreds of websites. In fact, we’ve been building websites since about 2008 (and before). Helping both Kiwi and international businesses move from some of those DIY platforms that weren’t serving them to professional, technology-focused, and results-driven websites delivering leads. So, if you actually want to own your own website, you want to have the capability to create your own SEO – with the tech to be able to adapt to this environment as it changes and in addition, build that authority in your silo and in your industry i.e. to be found for the services and or products that you deliver. Here are some of the things that you can Question when it comes to Website BuildersThe Hidden Catch of “Free” DomainsMany website builders will offer you a website builder and a domain. And what does that truly mean? Some providers may advertise - choose a template, come and build your site, it’s an easy-to-build site, and your first year of your domain subscription is free. At the end of the day, that might sound good, but there’s often a catch with that approach. Platform Lock-In: Why You Might Be StuckSome of these platforms actually lock you into the technology. What does that really mean? That means you’re unable to move that website off that platform and into another platform. And in many cases, moving platforms might mean a website rebuild. Ultimately, that indicates you can’t move the website anywhere else. You don’t own the code. And you really can’t get into the back end to do some of the higher-valued elements that you need to be able to do to promote yourself more fully in the areas of search engine optimization and GEO. And sometimes that domain name may even be tied to the website services that they provide to you. What We’ve Seen from DIY BuildersSo, what have we seen with some of our clients? Many businesses have come to us after potentially trying Wix, or perhaps Squarespace or other similar platforms. Why? They want more control. They want better search engine optimization. And in some instances, they may want a faster site. I’ll always agree that Wix or the Squarespace has its place in the website build market space. And in fact, I’ve recommended that some clients stay in that environment because their niche is so specific, that visibility is almost guaranteed. However, when you’re in a very competitive industry, and you need the tech smarts behind you to be able to place your website into the Google infrastructure, and for Google to then shine upon your website and grant you back rankings and visibility, you need a better vehicle for that purpose. It’s also important to note that often when you’re moving from one platform to another, it can be a little messy and may sometimes need a rebuild from scratch. In my opinion, if you’re serious about that visibility - potentially, as I’ve already said in that competitive industry, you may need a site that grows with your business. Five Key Checks Before You Commit to that new website.From a Net Branding perspective, here are some of the key things to check before you make your decision: Can you move the site easily? If you ever wanted to move your website to another host or developer, you should be able to do that. Who actually owns your domain name? When a domain name is registered, it gets registered against an entity or a person. Make sure that that domain name is actually registered in your name. Why? Because the domain name is actually your digital asset, your digital real estate. Is the builder SEO / GEO or AEO friendly? Some builders don’t let you update elements like a page title, a me description, or even add structured data elements into those web pages. Not having that level of flexibility can hurt your search rankings as you try and compete with some of your other competitors who do have those features in their website online. As your website grows, will you be able to add custom features later? Perhaps adding advanced forms. Perhaps adding a downloadable resource database that your clients can get to. Does the potential service provider offer support in New Zealand? Time zones can often be the difference between a fix and a delay. So, does your website provider account for the fact that we are one of the first countries to see the sun, and we operate often when the rest of the world is sleeping? In fact, I am currently waiting on a response for an AI tool that I’m testing, and I’ve been waiting for two days because when I’m operating, they’re not. And that really slows down our ability to use the tool and test the tool to its full capability. Why True Domain Ownership MattersAs a quick comparison, some of the things you could look at: Does it include a domain? Is it ECO friendly? Can you move to another host or service provider to host your website? Are you able to get local support? Who owns the site at the end of the day? Why does domain registration really matter?Regardless of whether your website is on a .co.nz or a .com, it’s important to understand that the domain name represents your brand online. If it’s tied directly to that website builder, you may not be able to control your DNS settings. DNS are really some of the core elements of how you direct the operational features of a domain at the back end. Your domain may not be able to be transferred, or moving the domain may require a few extra technical hitches and input from the service provider to be able to do that. In doing that move, you may also lose some of the email options that you’ve set up. SEO Deal-Breakers to Watch ForWhat are the deal breakers when it comes to SEO? Website builders that offer you a cheap site may look OK, but often you won’t get access to the raw HTML code. They may be slower to load. They may skip some of that schema markup that is so important in today’s AI world. They may use scripts that search engines can’t use properly. Again, I’m not saying that all website builders will be like this, but we have seen some shaky website builders over the course of our time. If some of these elements exist or other elements exist, it may mean that you lose visibility without actually knowing it. Yes, Net Branding builds sites with search engine optimisation from day one. We build sites that incorporate SEO capability at the onset. And yes, we also handle that GEO content and the needed GEO approach to support AI Search results as well. What does GEO mean? That stands for generative engine optimization to ensure that your site stays relevant as search evolves. And I don’t think there’s any question about how search is evolving in the current time.

GET IN TOUCH ### NZ Facebook Account Recovery Experts | Client Testimonial Net Branding in Auckland specialises in recovering hacked Facebook accounts. We guide you through Meta’s appeal process and get your page back fast. “Gaining back a Facebook account is never guaranteed with Meta and there is no easy door to knock on.”That’s a sober truth. Yet, it’s one Cathy Mellett and her Net Branding team embrace every day. We don’t see ourselves as NZ Facebook account recovery experts but we do go the extra mile when a business is in need. When Minx Clothing and Shoes faced a brutal Facebook hack in January, the impact was immediate. Cushla Reed, Director and Designer at Minx, described it like this: “Back in January, we were hacked, our Facebook went down, and we were unable to post all our beautiful lives that we do as a fashion brand to inform our customers about new product. It was literally like having an arm chopped off, if I’m honest.” Imagine your brand’s voice—silenced overnight. You’d try to fix it yourself, of course. Cushla said: “And we tried in vain to resolve the issues ourselves.” That’s when Net Branding stepped in. What we did for Minx We listened first. We assessed the breach. We mapped every compromised pathway. We built a Meta appeal plan. We followed up until recovery. The result?“And within a very short period of time, we were up back and running again.” Cushla’s relief was clear: “So thank you. And yeah, I would highly recommend them.” Why getting a meta account be it Instagram, Facebook or Ad account recovered, matters to youYour social channels drive traffic. Your followers expect fresh content daily. A single hack can halt that flow. Plan for the unexpectedYou can’t predict every threat. But you can prepare. Audit your logins. Enable two-factor authentication. Keep recovery contacts up to date. Archive your content. These steps won’t stop every breach. They will, though, speed up recovery. Why Net Branding?You’ll find agencies that handle ads. Agencies that build websites. Few specialise in crisis recovery. We do both. And more. We’ve helped: A retailer with multiple hacked Facebook accounts. A retailer who lost access to accounts recover those lost accounts. We then merged accounts to ensure one brand within Meta. A travel specialist – who lost a few facebook pages – recover their account and the pages. We saved / recovered an established Facebook Page with years of data and their associated advertising account with some quick thinking and action. All with different needs. All with the same end goal: restore access. Our team’s track record is built on real cases. Not theory. How we work with you We start with a call. We gather details. We run diagnostics. We agree on actions and timelines. Although this can be difficult because we are very dependent on Meta or Google for actioning and results. You get regular updates. No tech jargon. Just clear steps. Your questions, answered. But we never guarantee results.What if Meta denies an appeal?We review the feedback. We adjust the approach. And we try again. How long does recovery take?It varies. Some cases resolve in days. Others need weeks. We set realistic expectations. But also prepare the client for the fact that sometimes accounts cannot be recovered. Can you prevent hacks entirely?No. But you can reduce risk and recover faster. A shout-out from Minx ClothingThis is not a sales pitch. It’s a thank-you note. From Cushla, to Cathy, to the whole team. It reads like this: “This is our heartfelt shout out and a massive thank you and a high recommendation to Cathy and her team from Net Branding.” When you’re up against Meta’s silence, you need allies. You need a team that knows the landscape. You need a team that argues your case. You need a team that listens. That’s what Net Branding delivered for Minx. What will you do when your account is at risk?Reach out. Talk to us. Let’s protect your voice. FAQsQ: : What makes account recovery with Meta so complex?A: Meta handles billions of accounts. Their systems favour automation. Appeals must fit a precise format. Small mistakes can mean a long wait. Q: How do I know if my account was hacked or just disabled?A: Hacked accounts often show unfamiliar posts. Login attempts from odd locations. Post-loss of access, check your email for warnings. Complete lost of access. Q: Can Net Branding help with other social platforms?A: Yes. We handle Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, even TikTok. Each platform has its own process. Q: What should I do right now to reduce risk of a meta / Facebook or Instagram account hack or breach?A: Turn on two-factor authentication. Use strong, unique passwords. Keep a backup admin contact. Minx Clothing and Shoes found their voice again.You can too.Contact Net Branding today. Let’s build your digital resilience. GET IN TOUCH ### How much does it cost to hire a digital marketing agency? That’s probably one of the first questions you’ll ask when you’re thinking about getting support for your business online. The short answer? It depends. The long answer? Let’s break it down. At Net Branding, we’ve been helping businesses across Auckland, New Zealand and globally, for years. From Asia to the USA, from local tradies to export brands or B2B business. And what we’ve found is, pricing isn’t one-size-fits-all. So what actually affects the cost?Here are the main factors: What you want done A one-off SEO audit? Monthly GEO content updates? A full social media campaign? Different jobs need different time, tools and people. The size of your business A small local shop won’t have the same digital needs as a multi-location service provider. How competitive your industry is Trying to rank for “Auckland electrician”? That’s hard work. Takes more time and regular updates. A niche B2B business? Still competitive but differently. How fast you want results Need leads in two weeks? That means paid ads, landing pages, remarketing. A slower organic SEO approach takes time but costs less per month. The experience of your agency Net Branding’s been doing this a long time. We’ve seen fads come and go. You’re not paying for someone to guess, you’re paying for proven strategies. Typical services and their rough costsKeep in mind, these are ranges and they change based on the detail of the job. SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) Monthly packages from approx. $1,500 per month with ranges dependent on many variables.  With an average cost of search engine optimisation in New Zealand is $1,000 to $3,000 per month. This Includes in part, keyword tracking, content, backlinks, tech audits, and more. The bigger and more competitive your niche, the more these costs. GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) From $950 per month when managed in conjunction with an SEO Package. And certainly is dependent on areas of focus and geographical location or locations. Content tailored for visibility in AI-powered results and search summaries. Google Ads In New Zealand, the average monthly cost for Google Ads can range from NZD 500 to NZD 10,000 or more.  This is dependant of area, niche, geographical focus and more. A good agency will also help set realistic ad budgets. Social Media Management In New Zealand, the average cost for social media service per month typically ranges from $500 to $5,000, but this can vary widely depending on the specific services needed, the size of the business, and the experience level of the provider. This includes posts, and reporting.  It excludes any photography. Content Creation Blog writing: $200–$500 + /post. Video content: depends heavily on quality and length and may require a videographer to support this. Remember, content isn’t just “filler, it’s how people find and trust you. Website Design and Development The average cost of a website in New Zealand can range from a  $900 for a basic one-page site to tens of thousands for a complex e-commerce or custom-built site. Generally, small business websites in New Zealand can cost anywhere from $2,500 to $4,000, while more complex websites with e-commerce functionality or custom features can cost $5,000 to $50,000+. Ongoing maintenance usually billed monthly or as-needed Website Maintenance per month Personal Websites $15– $35 Professional Blogs $39 – $105 Small to Medium Business Websites $50 – $700 Larger Websites $420 – $3,500 Plus So why not just hire a freelancer?You could. And sometimes that works, for simple tasks. But here’s the thing: digital marketing is not set-and-forget. It’s not like jelly in the fridge. It moves fast. Algorithms change Competitors start copying what works Platforms add new features And users shift how they search An agency like Net Branding isn’t just doing “tasks”, we’re tracking trends, updating strategies, and keeping your online presence fresh. Plus, you don’t have to manage five freelancers. You get one team that works together, under one roof. You also get... Access to our tools (and yes, they cost us money each month) Managers who know your business Reports that make sense, not just spreadsheets with numbers Proven results (our Google Reviews say a lot) And if you’re not sure what you need? We tell you. We’ve talked some clients out of spending money when we knew it wouldn’t give them results. Real talk—how do most of our clients decide?They ask three questions: What do I need right now to move the needle? What’s my monthly marketing budget? Who do I trust to spend it wisely? If that sounds like you, we’re ready to talk. We’ve helped hundreds of businesses, just like yours, be seen, be heard and be found online. FAQsQ: Can I just get SEO or do I need a full digital services package?A: Absolutely, you can start with SEO. Many of our clients begin there, then scale once they see results. We always match services to your needs. Definatelyy not the other way around. Q: What’s included in Net Branding’s monthly SEO?A: Our SEO includes content, keyword tracking, on-page updates, backlinks, reporting and more. We adapt based on what works for your industry and goals and your current budget. GET IN TOUCH ### How Digital Marketing Agencies Stack Up Against Traditional Agencies Digital Marketing Agencies vs Traditional Agencies. You’ve seen big traditional agencies evolve. Many began in print, branding and big creative studios. They later bolted on “digital” services, sometimes as an afterthought. Net Branding took a different path. We sprang from a tech background. We’ve lived and breathed online since day one. That matters when you’re: Reaching your audience Measuring what really works Getting found where it counts Let’s look at three key areas where a true digital-born agency beats the bolt-on approach. 1. Deep Tech UnderstandingTraditional agencies often start with designers and copywriters. They learn digital as they go. At Net Branding: Our roots are in web development, analytics and new tech to support the process or AI where appropriate. We know how platforms talk to each other. We build strategies around data flows. Never guesswork. 2. Measurement You Can TrustWith digital born-and-bred agencies, metrics aren’t an afterthought. They’re the foundation. We set up end-to-end tracking, from first click to sale We monitor AI-driven attribution models to see which campaigns pull their weight We make your reporting easy to understand—and actionable You don’t want a stack of charts you can’t read. You want to know: “Which channel gave me my last sale?” and “Where should I scale spend next?” One quirky thing I do: every Friday morning I scan Google Analytics real-time while I sip coffee. It’s part ritual, part quality check. It’s not fancy but it keeps me honest about what’s happening. 3. AI Where It MattersAI buzz is everywhere. Some agencies sprinkle it into every sentence. At Net Branding, we ask: “Does this move the needle?” We use AI for rapid keyword clustering in GEO (generative engine optimisation). We automate routine reporting so you get insights, not busywork. We us AI where it adds value to you.  Practical Takeaways for You Ask your agency about their technical background. Who’s writing the code behind your site and do you use smarts in your campaigns or blindly hand them over to Google or Meta? Demand clear, end-to-end measurement. If they can’t show exactly where a sale came from, walk away. Question every AI claim. If it doesn’t drive real results, it’s fluff. Perhaps you’ve worked with a big-name agency that handles TV, print and now digital. They may deliver creative punch but can they tweak your ad-tech at 3 am when the Asia-Pacific market spikes? That’s where a true digital agency shines. Thought-Provoking FAQ QuestionsFAQ's Q: Can a traditional agency match the technical chops of a digital-born agency? A: Some try. They hire tech leads or partner with specialists. But integrating deep-dive analytics and custom automation into every project takes time. A digital-born agency has those skills in its DNA. Q: How often should I review my AI-driven processes? A: At least quarterly. AI models drift as your market evolves. We recommend a full audit every three months and quick tune-ups when you spot performance dips. GET IN TOUCH ### How Net Branding Uses AI the Right Way – To Help You Be Seen, Be Heard, and Be Found AI is everywhere. It’s in your inbox, on your social feed, and yes, it's now shaping how digital marketing gets done. But here's the thing: at Net Branding, we don't treat it like a silver bullet. And we don’t make a big song and dance about it either. We Use AI. Just Not Like Everyone Else.We’ve been in this game since the late 2000s. But many of the team with a background that extends long before that. That’s long enough to see a few “next big things” come and go. We remember when websites were new. When social media arrived. When businesses scrambled online during COVID. And now? It’s AI’s turn in the spotlight. We’re here for it—but we’re not dazzled by it. Yes, we use AI. We’ve achieved certifications. We evaluate new tools all the time. But more importantly, we bring years of experience to the table—so we know what to use, when to use it, and what to steer clear of. It’s Not Just About New Tech.Let’s be honest. New tech gets hyped. That’s always been the way. We saw it with social. We saw it with mobile. We saw it when eCommerce exploded. And every time, there were people who rushed in, shouted the loudest, and faded just as quickly. At Net Branding, we’ve always played the long game.We don’t just learn the tech, we learn how to apply it properly. That means taking what we know, keeping up with what’s changing, and applying all of it with purpose. So, when we use AI, we use it to lift up what’s already working. We don’t try to replace the thinking. That’s still where the real value is. What AI Looks Like Behind the Scenes.So, what does AI in our world actually look like? It’s not all robots and content factories. Sometimes it’s speeding up how we audit your website. Other times, it’s helping us spot trends before they cost you traffic. It might help generate a headline idea, but we still shape the message. And when we use automation? That’s so we can spend more time thinking about your strategy, not just ticking boxes. Here’s the short version: We use AI to make data clearer We use AI to make routine tasks faster We use AI to support decisions, not make them It’s about balance. And that’s something you can’t automate. It’s Not About the Tools - It’s About the Thinking.One of the biggest mistakes we see? Businesses get excited about the tool and forget to ask the right questions. Robust discussions between team members on what to do and what not to do are common. Our focus is always the best for the client in question. What do you actually want to achieve? Who are you speaking to? What makes someone stop scrolling and pay attention? That’s where we start. Always. Once we know the direction, then sure, we’ll bring in the best tools to support that. Sometimes that means AI. Sometimes it’s just good old-fashioned strategy. Either way, it’s never one-size-fits-all. And that’s why it works. We’ve Seen the Patterns. We Know What Lasts.If there’s one thing experience gives you, it’s perspective. We’ve seen trends rise and fall. We’ve seen a lot of “instant experts” pop up when something new hits the market. We’ve even had clients tell us, “I tried [insert trend here] and it didn’t work.” And we get it. It's tempting to jump on what's hot. But what actually works? That’s usually slower, more considered, and based on consistent effort. We’ve built our reputation by doing the work—quietly, consistently, and with purpose. That’s not changing now. What Our Digital Marketing Clients Get when it comes to AI.When you work with us, you're not just getting AI tools. You're getting people who know how to use them properly. You're getting strategy, insight, and digital thinking that’s shaped by years of doing the work. You're getting a team that keeps learning, but filters the fluff. And you're getting results that last longer than the latest tech headline. That’s what we bring to the table. We use AI where it matters.To help you Be Seen, Be Heard, and Be Found. We’re not anti-AI. Far from it. We use it every day. We scout new applications, new tools and new methods to use AI. But we also know this: technology is only as good as the hands it’s in. At Net Branding, we use AI when it helps you get found, show up, and connect with the right audience. But we never let it replace the human part—that’s where the magic is. So, if you’re looking for a digital partner who knows the tech but still values the thinking behind it, let’s talk. Because being seen, being heard, and being found online isn’t about. GET IN TOUCH ### AEO is the real game changer. Why GEO alone won’t cut it Have you noticed fewer clicks from search lately? That’s not your imagination. AI chat interfaces are designed to answer questions for users. And that’s changing everything. What’s AEO?AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimisation. It overlaps with GEO but shifts the focus. Instead of boosting rankings, you optimise content for AI-generated responses. ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude. They all serve answers to online searches, aka the public. And users often don’t click further. https://www.businessinsider.com/seo-aeo-ai-chatbots-search-startups-chatgpt-openai-google-2025-5 Traditional SEO helped pages rank. AEO aims for visibility inside the AI output box. When someone asks AI a question, you want your content featured. Answer Engine Optimisation, sometimes overlapping with GEO, is reshaping online visibility. Business Insider reports that AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) now answer questions conversationally, bypassing traditional search pages. Instead of targeting single keywords, marketers must craft content that addresses clusters of related questions. New startups are racing to provide tools that track and optimise for AI output. Even smaller brands can surface in answers due to the variable nature of generative AI responses. AEO growth signals a change in how we measure content success. Moving forward, your content must speak directly to AI engines. Answer clusters of questions, not single keywords Use FAQ sections and schema markup Structure pages so AI can parse them Keep language clear, timely and relevant Why does it matter? AI summaries a top search pages reduce traffic. For how long until this is changed by Google, who knows? 80% of people say 40% of searches don’t lead to clicks. Brands that adapt early see AI visits rise faster than traditional referrals. AEO vs GEO GEO is about being cited in AI outputs. AEO addresses question clusters, structured for conversational answers. Both need clean formatting and schema markup. How to optimise for AEO/GEO? Answer clusters, not single queries Cover variations, e.g. “best project management tool for remote teams”, “tools supporting API integration”. https://www.wsj.com/articles/ai-has-upended-the-search-game-marketers-are-scrambling-to-catch-up-84264b34? Structure content clearly Use headings that match questions. Bullet lists, FAQ sections, schema. Improve technical performance Fast loading is favoured by AI crawlers. Use clean HTML and metadata. Use a conversational tone AI chats prefer everyday language over jargon. Track AEO visibility Look into AI analytics. See if pages appear in AI answers. Real-life examplesReal-life examples Mailchimp restructured content and improved site speed.

GET IN TOUCH ### How Google’s AI Mode Changes the Game (And Why GEO Matters) I tried Google’s new AI Mode recently. It felt like asking a wise friend, a Gemini-powered assistant. No click through. Just answers. At first, that’s great. But then I realised: if you rely on web traffic, this could hit hard. What is Google’s AI Mode?• A Gemini 2.5-powered conversational interface. • Launched early June 2025 for U.S. users. • Provides expert-level answers, not blue links. Why it mattersClicks have dropped by nearly 30%, even though Google still dominates. That’s a big deal.  Source Users want fast, direct info. And they’re getting it. So, what do you do? Write short, direct answers. Use bullet lists. Add FAQ schema so AI can parse it easily. Speed up your page. AI bots prefer fast loading. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.09735 Think beyond keywordsThis isn’t traditional SEO. It’s GEO—Generative Engine Optimisation. It focuses on being cited in AI answers. That means: • Structure content for machine understanding • Provide clear Q&A sections • Include structured data How GEO and AI Mode work together• AI Mode pulls answers directly from pages.• GEO ensures your content is in that answer.• Schema markup helps—AI reads your FAQs and brand details.• Use structured bullet points.• Start with the direct answer, then expand. Examples in action• Mailchimp updated site structure and speed. That helped them stay visible in AI summaries• Another company added chat-friendly formatting. They started showing up in AI overviews for key terms. You might think: “It’s different.” It is. But AI Mode isn’t unique—Microsoft and Apple are doing similar things. What you can do right now• Test AI Mode: Ask questions in Google. Do your pages show up? • Review site speed. Try tools like Page Speed Insights. • Add FAQ sections to your most important pages. • Use schema markup to define business name, address and phone. • Structure around clear questions. AI reads that.

GET IN TOUCH ### GEO and SEO: Understanding Search Engine Optimisation With AI Digital marketing is a constantly evolving field, and one of the biggest topics in the industry is the rise of GEO – Generative Engine Optimisation. Previously, SEO was all about keyword rankings and driving organic traffic to your website, but GEO has been a game changer. As professionals with decades of experience in the industry, we think GEO has been one of the biggest shifts since the digital revolution. AI tools like ChatGPT, Bing Chat, and Perplexity AI have changed how consumers get information, meaning marketers must yet again rethink their online search strategy. So, what is GEO? And how does this affect your SEO strategy? Let’s take a closer look. What is Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)?Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is the process of allowing AI-driven search tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Bing Chat, and Perplexity AI to capture your content. Compared to typical search engines that display the links on a single page, GEO gives consumers instant answers to their queries. An important point to note here is that GEO pulls answers from multiple websites instead of one. Here’s what GEO looks like on Google’s Gemini overview. And here’s what GEO looks like in a search query on ChatGPT Gone are the days of meticulous ‘crawling and ranking’ for content based on keyword research. Instead, AI models have the capacity to process large amounts of data and present it in their own AI ways. GEO focuses on content credibility, structure, and context when selecting the information that appears on their AI answers at the top. But what does this mean for your business? Your content must now be optimised for these AI models to remain visible and competitive. What Is the Difference Between GEO and SEO?Let’s explore the difference between Search Engine Optimisation and Generative Engine Optimisation. Fortunately, there are plenty of similarities between the two. The foundation of GEO and SEO remains the same – to produce original, good-quality content that answers consumers’ search queries. However, there are several key differences.   Search Engine Optimisation Generative Engine Optimisation Focuses on improving a website’s ranking in search results to increase visibility, primarily focused on Google. Emphasise on backlinks, keyword optimisation, structured data, and technical SEO to boost rankings. Goal is to drive traffic and engagement by converting clicks from search results into actions. Focuses on getting included in AI-generated responses (e.g., AI Overviews, Perplexity AI). Prioritises credibility, structured content, and AI-friendly formatting to be recognised by AI models. Traffic is influenced by brand mentions, AI-generated citations, and any authoritative sources used by AI tools. Simply put, SEO focuses on getting into Google’s top spot, while GEO focuses on getting AI-powered platforms to recognise and use your content when a question is asked. Search engines have always been used to find information, and this will not change. However, AI is changing how information is presented, and our content should change to reflect this. Is GEO Going to Replace SEO?Does this mean that SEO is no longer relevant? Absolutely not. GEO isn’t a replacement for existing SEO practices; rather, it prompts a need to adapt them to how AI models present information. Businesses must now rethink how to stay visible online. SEO is still critical for ranking in search engines like Google and Bing, but GEO is a growing factor that helps your content surface in AI search models. Think of these two terms as partners that go hand in hand. Businesses that optimise for SEO will increase their chances of staying visible on both AI responses AND on search results. What Makes a Content AI-Friendly?There are a few best practices that make any content visible to AI models. Here are some of the ones we know: AI models prioritise content credibility, relevance, and structure over keywords AI presents answers based on meaning, focusing on how well it answers a consumer query, instead of just keywords AI predicts which content gets presented based on analysing past data, user intent, and content patterns Well-cited, reliable sources rank higher. This means brand reputation and expertise have never been more important AI models gravitate to structures, well-organised content. This means having structured headings, schema markup, and concise writing. How Do I Stay Visible in AI Search?We’re still in the early stages of GEO, and we suspect there are many more changes to come. However, if you’re looking to optimise your content for GEO, here are four key practices that can increase your visibility: 1. Research and Analysis Businesses should first understand how AI engines present and retrieve content. Generative AI does more than crawl; it interprets content and has the capability to understand relationships between sites, brands, people, and places to present information to the user. A good tip is to use an AI ranking tool, like the one found on Ahrefs’, to check how your content appears in AI-generated search results and identify opportunities. You could also test different phrasing and structure in ChatGPT, Perplexity AI, and Bing Chat to see how AI prioritises and displays content. 2. Build Brand Authority Genuine and original content matters more than keyword-optimised content. So, consider offering insights that are unique to your business rather than a copy-and-paste AI answer. Consider also building your brand voice across multiple online platforms. Getting mentioned alongside your preferred keywords can increase your chances of being noticed by AI models. This can mean participating in expert commentary, media coverage, and industry discussions, as well as being referenced in other authoritative sources online. 3. Structuring Content for AI-Friendly Results Besides originality, structure your content with clear headings and sections to make it more readable. Use FAQs, bullet points, and schema markup to make content easily retrievable for AI and ensure that your content directly answers key questions. While typical search results measure a website’s authority through link building, AI models look at context and conversations. It also looks at who is talking about you online rather than just linking to your site. 4. Build Solid Technical Foundations Just like SEO, technical considerations are important in GEO. AI engines prioritise updated and structured content so that AI models can process and retrieve said content. Here are some technical optimisation practices that work with GEO: Adding structured data and schema markup to a website Ensure content has clear and descriptive headings Optimising website for page speed and mobile Ensuring optimised metadata and internal linking Ensuring content complies with accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG guidelines) Regularly updating the website and content Adding API integrations for real-time data, ensuring AI models reference the latest information Key TakeawayWhile GEO may seem like a big change in search, its foundations are the same as SEO. Building original, insightful content that matches the search query is still the best practice for businesses that want to stay visible.

GET IN TOUCH ### Generative Engine Optimisation (Geo): What We Know About the Future of Digital Marketing Cathy Mellett, Founder and Director of Net Branding, shares her thoughts about the emergence of Generative Engine Optimisation and how it’s transforming digital marketing as we know it. As digital marketers, we are used to changes, and there have been many. From the rise of short-form video content to voice search, and even shutting down Google Business Profiles. But nothing has shaken up digital marketing more than AI. First, we had AI influencers, and now the hot new topic is Generative AI.   I’ve spent over 30 years in IT and 15 in digital, and there has never been a shift this significant since the digital revolution. Generative AI isn’t just a small update to search marketing - it’s a big change button. But what exactly is GEO, and how is it reshaping SEO? Let’s discuss. What is Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)?Generative Engine Optimisation is the technique of optimising your digital content and making it more visible for AI models. Tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity AI, and Google’s Gemini are generative AI models that pull information directly from different web sources to deliver a response to users. Essentially, GEO is about how to get your website in that response. The way customers search for information has changed. In fact, more and more customers now use Generative AI to search for queries. While we don’t see this overtaking Google just yet, we need to keep up with the changes. GEO vs SEOSo, how is GEO different from SEO? Both focus on optimising content for visibility. But there’s a big difference in the search process itself. Previous SEO efforts look like this: Keyword research – optimising content with keywords and technical SEO – ranking in the top spot in Google/Bing/Yahoo. Generative Engine Search looks like this: A user asks a question on ChatGPT, Perplexity AI, or Gemini – the AI scours the internet -AI generates detailed answers, summaries, and conversational responses. We also know that these responses are based on multiple sources, rather than just showing a list of links. An ExampleFor example, if you search for “best spa in Auckland” on a Google search engine (or any other search engine), you’ll get a list of websites recommending a list of spa places that have been ranked according to what Google thinks is most relevant to you. But if you ask an AI tool the same question, it will instantly provide a summary of the top-rated spa, curated from different websites. You’ll also see the opening hours, reviews, and even personalised suggestions. While SEO’s primary goal is to get websites to rank higher on a search engine page, GEO’s goal is about getting visibility among AI-generated search results. Traditional SEO strategies are about maximising keywords, backlinks, and other on-page techniques. Meanwhile, GEO strategies are about ensuring your content stands out in an AI-dominated digital space. We use SEO to drive traffic to your website, which remains a crucial goal. At the same time, GEO is a big effort to create understandable, relevant, and useful content for AI. Ranking is one thing, making sure your content can be a part of the conversation is another, particularly in answering the user’s search query. Ensuring GEO SuccessWith GEO, businesses need a slightly different approach to stay visible. Here are the key ones: Acknowledge AI, but write for humans: Make your content structured and easy for AI to read, while ensuring it remains original and engaging for the human reader. Clarity and structure: Organise your content well. This includes using clear headings, concise explanations, and logical flow. Natural keywords: AI is great at interpreting nuances, so focus on phrases and context in your content that AI can recognise and use. Why Does GEO Matter?AI has become a key player in digital marketing, and Generative Engine Marketing helps ensure your content is AI-friendly. Here are some of the benefits of optimising your content for AI tools. More reach: GEO best practices cater to both traditional search and AI queries. By making several changes, you can ensure your content has a wider reach. More visibility: Many users now rely on AI to provide them with information. Having your content show up on the answers can help you stay visible to your customers. Better user experience:  GEO focuses on conversational, relevant content (which is really what your customers want to see). This improves the experience of your human audience and allows you to capture the attention of AI models. The Future of GEOGEO is only going to get bigger, and any future-proof digital marketing strategy must take it seriously. As AI grows, leveraging it and embracing GEO will keep your brand relevant to consumers. Start by optimising your content for AI. Ensure that your content is valuable, shareable, and follows the E-E-A-T principles (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness). By doing this, you’ll be able to maintain a strong organic traffic. GEO With Net BrandingAt Net Branding, we lead with AI-driven GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation).

GET IN TOUCH ### SEO and SilverStripe – A Frustrating Combo (When You’re Not In Charge) SEO and SilverStripe Let me be honest: I don’t mind SilverStripe. It’s solid, it’s flexible, and the fact that it’s Kiwi-made? That’s cool. But when you're the SEO person trying to improve a site—and someone else is holding the keys to the CMS—it’s painful. NOTE:  "Silverstripe was born in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. Our three founders developed the original product in a tech incubator in 2000, eventually naming it after a type of tropical bamboo. Those three founders are all still involved with the company today, as directors on our board." We’ve been in that situation more times than I’d like to admit. A client calls up, excited to improve rankings or boost traffic, and we think, "great—we’ve got a solid roadmap." Then we find out the site’s built in SilverStripe, but we can’t get in to change anything ourselves. That’s when the headaches start. We’ll spot some technical issue—a page without a meta title, a weird redirect loop, no sitemap—and our hands are tied. We can write a doc. We can explain the issue. But we’re reliant on someone else (a developer, a team, maybe even a freelancer from five years ago) to action the fix. And it’s not like we’re asking for magic. Sometimes it's a line of code. Sometimes it's adding a field for us to edit titles. Sometimes it's fixing something that's hurting performance and user experience. But instead of being able to just… log in and fix it, we’re stuck playing messenger. And here's the real kicker: every SilverStripe site is different. Seriously, every. single. one. There’s no “default setup.” Some are built with a tidy CMS layout where you can edit SEO fields. Others? You need to be a developer—or have one on standby—just to change a URL. So what happens is this: We end up writing a list of fixes. We send it to the dev. The client has to chase them up. Then we wait. Maybe a week, maybe a month. That’s not what SEO should feel like. Look, we’re not anti-developer. In fact, when devs and SEOs work together well, it’s magic. We just need access. Or a process that actually works. Because SEO isn’t something you do once and forget about. It needs testing. Adjusting. Monitoring. If you can’t do that quickly, it’s like trying to race a car with someone else holding the steering wheel. A few things we often get asked... about SilverStripe and SEO Is SilverStripe bad for SEO? Nope. But it’s not plug-and-play either. The problem isn’t the platform. It’s how it’s built—and whether we’ve got access to fix things. Can you just give the dev a list? We can, and we do. But real SEO involves reacting quickly. Lists and email chains don’t help much when you need to test and tweak. What if I love my site but want better SEO? That’s fine. But we’ll need to be in the loop with your dev or given permission to make changes ourselves—otherwise, we’re working in the dark. Can SilverStripe sites be SEO-friendly? Absolutely. But they have to be set up that way on purpose. And unfortunately, many aren’t. If This Sounds Familiar... If you're running a business on SilverStripe and your SEO isn’t gaining traction, it might not be the strategy. It could be the setup. Or worse—the bottleneck between strategy and implementation. We’ve seen it. We’ve worked through it. And if you need help navigating it, just give us a call. We’re Net Branding, based in Auckland—but we work with businesses across NZ and beyond. Our goal? Helping you be seen, be heard, and be found online—no matter what platform you’re on. ### Where did that Google Review Go? Right, let’s talk about something that trips up heaps of business owners: missing Google reviews. You’ve just had a great chat with a happy customer. They promised they'd leave a 5-star review—and they did. But when you go to check? It’s not there. Gone. Nowhere to be found. You're not imagining things. This happens more often than people realise, and there’s not always a clear reason. But there are patterns. We’ll get into those shortly, but if you're reading this as someone managing a business profile—or working hard to build your online rep—this is something worth understanding. First Off: No, It’s Probably Not Your Fault Google’s review system is... particular. And lately, it’s gotten stricter. The short version? If the system even thinks something's off, it may just quietly remove the review. Doesn’t mean it was fake. Doesn’t mean the customer did anything wrong. It might’ve just ticked the wrong box behind the scenes. We've seen this plenty over the years working with clients through Net Branding—an Auckland digital marketing agency that's helped companies from Europe to the USA build strong, visible online profiles. Here's what we've learned. Common Reasons Google Reviews Disappear Let’s break this down as simply as possible, minus the fluff. 1. The reviewer’s account is too new Google’s spam filters don’t trust brand-new Gmail accounts. If someone sets up a Google account and immediately leaves you a glowing 5-star review, that review could get filtered. It might still show for them—but not for anyone else. 2. Wording triggered a filter If a review talks about being offered a discount, mentions a freebie, or even says something like "as a thank-you gift," that could be enough for Google to flag it.  The system assumes that if something was exchanged for the review, it’s not unbiased—and boom, down it goes. 3. Bulk activity looks suspicious If you’ve just run a campaign or sent out a request for reviews and they all came flooding in at once, that can sometimes raise a flag too. Ironically, even if all those reviews are real. 4. Listing changes or account updates This one catches a lot of people out: if your business listing details change—like name, address, or even category—there’s a chance some of your reviews might disappear. They’re tied to the version of your listing at the time they were left. And sometimes, honestly, it seems like the reviews just vanish for no clear reason. We've seen it happen after routine updates on Google’s end. Can You Get the Review Back? Sometimes, yes. But it’s a bit of a process. You can head over to Google Business Profile support and ask them to investigate a missing review. If you’re doing that, be ready with: The reviewer's name (and ideally their Gmail address) The date it was posted A rough idea of what they said A link to your business profile We’ve had mixed results with this. Sometimes it works. Sometimes they say the review violates policy, and that’s the end of it. Is This Something We Can Prevent? Not really. But you can reduce the chances of it happening. Here’s what we suggest (this is the same advice we give to Net Branding clients): 1.  Don’t ask all your customers for reviews at once. Spread it out a bit. 2.  Don’t offer rewards or discounts for reviews. Not even subtly. 3.  Encourage people to leave detailed, natural feedback—not copy/paste style stuff. 4.  If someone has just created a Google account, ask them to wait a day or two before reviewing. 5.  And if a review does go missing, don’t panic. It happens to everyone. Why Reviews Matter—but Aren’t Everything Look, Google reviews are useful—no question. But they’re not the only way to build trust or attract leads. And if you're working with a good digital marketing partner (like us here at Net Branding), you're not relying on just one tool. Between local SEO, great web content, social media, and paid ads—you’ve got a whole toolkit. At the end of the day, reviews help you be seen. But what matters just as much is how you sound online—what your website says, what your audience hears on social, and how easily people can find you when they search. That’s what we do: help brands be seen, be heard, and be found. FAQs: Let’s Cover the Basics when it comes to Google Reviews Why would Google remove a legitimate review? Often, it's an automated filter thinking something looks suspicious—like a new account or certain keywords in the review. Can I appeal a removed Google review? Yes. Contact Google Business Support and ask for a manual check. They’ll usually reply in a few days. Can reviews be hidden during a Google update? Yes. Sometimes reviews go missing temporarily when Google rolls out changes, especially if your profile was recently updated. Should I stop asking for reviews? Not at all. Just be thoughtful about how you ask. No incentives, and avoid asking everyone at once. How can I keep building my reputation if Google keeps removing reviews? Diversify. Add testimonials to your site, encourage LinkedIn recommendations, and keep your SEO strong. Don’t put all your trust in one platform. Want Help Getting Found Online?

Search isn’t just evolving—it’s being rebuilt under our feet. Between generative AI, Google rewriting its own rules, and people searching through voice, visuals, and chatbots, the old playbook’s in a dumpster fire. I’ve been in SEO long enough to remember keyword stuffing and exact-match domains. Here’s what’s actually happening now—and how to keep your site alive. Google Doesn’t Want to Send You Traffic Anymore This isn’t a conspiracy theory. It’s strategy. Google’s AI snapshots (Search Generative Experience) now answer queries before you get to the links. Half the time, your site gets paraphrased, cited vaguely—or not at all. I’ve seen client content rank first on a query and still see click-through tank. Why? Because Google is eating its own ecosystem. What to do about it: Structure your content so it feeds the AI (FAQ-style questions, schema markup, direct answers). Be the source worth quoting—backed by real data, personal experience, or unique takes. If your page can’t answer a question cleanly, someone else’s will get AI-lifted instead. “Search” Is No Longer Just Google People don’t just “Google it” anymore. They search by: Talking to Alexa or ChatGPT. Uploading a photo to Google Lens or Pinterest. Watching YouTube to find reviews. Asking Reddit or Quora directly. That’s four different platforms, four different search styles. If you’re only optimizing for Google’s text search, you’re missing a huge chunk of how people discover things. What wins now? Conversational language. Multimedia (video, audio, images). Content made to live outside of traditional SERPs. AI Content Is Everywhere—and Mostly Awful Look, I get the appeal. Spin up 100 blog posts in a week with AI? Cool. Except they’re all saying the same things, in the same way, with the same lifeless tone. And Google knows it. In 2025, Experience and Trust matter more than ever. Content written by someone who actually knows what they’re talking about stands out. Real beats recycled. Use AI to brainstorm or outline, sure. But let the final voice sound like someone with a spine. Share personal stories, test results, screw-ups—something that sounds real. Google’s not just scanning for keywords. It’s scanning for credibility. Technical SEO Isn’t a Cheat Code Anymore Having a fast site, clean markup, and mobile optimization is important—yes. But that’s the entry fee now. If your content’s mediocre, a fast-loading page just lets people bounce faster. Don’t ignore tech SEO—but don’t pretend it’s a silver bullet either. What makes a difference in 2025 is how well your site answers actual user needs. Ask yourself: Can users find what they need within two clicks? Are pages built for users or for bots? Does this solve a real problem—or just tick a checkbox? Brand Is a Ranking Factor—Even If Google Won’t Say It Here’s what separates winners from everyone else: people search for them by name. “Best running shoes” is a crowded fight. “Allbirds vs On Cloud” is a buyer ready to pull the trigger. That second query only happens because someone built a brand worth comparing. You can’t SEO your way to brand. But once you have brand, SEO gets way easier. Start there: Create something worth talking about. Be referenced in places Google already trusts (news, podcasts, YouTube, forums). Track branded search volume—and invest in making it grow. When people search for you, Google notices. What Actually Works in 2025 Here’s the no-BS playbook:   Be useful, fast. Nobody wants to scroll through your life story. Write how your users think—not how a keyword tool tells you to write. Give away stuff people can use: checklists, calculators, raw data, honest reviews. Show who’s behind the content. Put a name, a face, and a reason to trust you. Don’t fake authority. Build it, slowly, through consistency and quality. FAQ: SEO in 2025, Answered for Real Q: Is SEO still worth investing in? Absolutely. But don’t confuse “writing blogs” with “doing SEO.” SEO now includes UX, brand, AI optimization, and understanding multiple search surfaces—not just Google. Q: How do I get featured in Google’s AI answers? Give Google clean, confident information: Use clear H2s/H3s. Answer questions directly and early. Use structured data. Cite sources (especially for YMYL content). Get linked to by other authoritative sites. Q: Does Google punish AI content? No—but it does ignore bad content, regardless of who (or what) wrote it. If it’s thin, generic, and has no credibility, it’s likely to get filtered out. AI-assisted writing is fine as long as there’s substance and trust behind it. Q: Are backlinks still important? Yes—but fewer, better links matter more than ever. Relevance and trust > quantity. And unlinked mentions, branded searches, and real-world reputation all play a role now. Q: What’s one underrated SEO tactic right now? Refreshing old content. Update a 2021 post with 2025 insights, cite new data, improve structure, and re-promote it. It’s faster than writing from scratch—and often more impactful. Q: Should I still do keyword research? Yes, but don’t get stuck in spreadsheets. Focus more on problems people are trying to solve. Tools can’t show you nuance—actual users can. Start in Reddit threads, support tickets, or sales calls. Final Take:  SEO in 2025 isn’t about tricking algorithms. It’s about deserving to be found. Make your content worth quoting. Make your brand worth remembering. And make your site worth staying on. The tactics are changing. The fundamentals—helping real people solve real problems—aren’t. ### Cost of Google Ads Soar With CPCs Increasing by 30 - 100%: Why Is This? Google’s automated advertising tool is focused on recommended suggestions and automates “auto-apply recommendations”. But why is this important?   People who don’t regularly manage their campaigns, i.e. lazy agencies that leave the ads to run on their own or unsuspecting advertising beginners, may not turn off this feature.This scenario will undoubtedly result in these “auto-apply” recommendations being turned on, automatically allowing Google to apply different bid strategies to your ads. Perhaps even with different bidding strategies to those that you had originally intended. Google Ads and Their Auto Recommendation Strategy So, Google had these auto recommendations a few years back. It was a very low–key—may I even say “under the radar”—start to this type of strategy. However, the move has heated up. If you don’t actively disable this feature, Google believes you are okay with it taking over the "auto recommendation" strategy and will start increasing your active bids for search traffic. Our Experience as a Local Digital Agency Our in-house Google Ads experts have observed that when targeted Google representatives call your business intending to upsell additional ad spend, it often leads to the automatic application of recommendations—accompanied by persuasive messaging encouraging you to increase your ad budget. As this rolls out and as the bidding war commences (it certainly has already), your CPC and, in turn, cost per lead conversion are being sent to excessive cost levels and new heights.

Google Business Profiles have been around for a few years now, and Google is rapidly shifting towards more image-based content, moving away from text-heavy information. How to optimise Google Business Profile images for local SEO? And is this important. In a 2022 study by Mike Blumenthal, it was noted that photos occupied around 2% of the screen space in 2016, rising to 30% by 2022 for local searches on mobile. As the digital world has evolved, this figure is likely even higher now. We used to say, “content is king”, but for local SEO, it seems “visuals may be king”. So, what are the changes? Videos and photos now take prime position when you open a Google Business Profile (GBP). These images are switched out by Google based on the search term. Google uses AI to identify the content of your GBP photos and can even collate them into a slideshow. Search-by-image technology has been a significant focus for Google, and these images are also pulled into AI overviews for users. Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) often feature “people also searched for”, and images are widely used in this section too. As has been said for a while, visuals are important, and for your GBP this is absolutely the case.We all aim to: Be trusted and chosen by potential clients or customers. Improve and increase our ranking signals. Be visible for search results that precisely match the user’s intent. Always appear professional, trustworthy, and competent to searchers. Earn trust in a world where there are so many fake sites—showing that we truly are who we say we are. Focus on GBP image optimisation.  Ensuring you are naming images correctly and completing all the meta data possible to ensure the intent behind the image is clear.  If you have any questions about how you are seen, heard, or found online, or if you’d like to have your Local SEO checked with our free local search visibility checker, click here: https://netbranding.co.nz/blog/reputation-management-and-local-seo/ The above is a great way to kickstart and enhance local rankings.

You need a Google Ads specialist, right? So, you put up your campaign and you’re happy as you’re generating leads. But you’re still a little unsure whether you’ve got this covered and have the necessary skills you need to run Google Ads. Google ads spam call In comes the “fairy” godmother—a call from Google.

Give them a chance, usually with about 30 days between calls to see the difference. This is a little like the Nigerian prince offering you a wedding proposal, but he needs access to your bank account first.

Our recommendation is: Only allow people access to your account that you know and trust. Ensure they really know how to track, learn, and optimise your ads. Stay in full control of your budget and spend. Don’t trust someone skill level just because they say they are from Google, and they have a Google address.

Shopify SEO refers to optimising your Shopify store content to boost revenue. SEO, otherwise known as Search Engine Optimisation, is an essential tool used by many marketers to generate organic (non-paid) eyeballs for your store. As compared to sponsored or paid listings on Shopify, this method allows you to target customers using specific keywords that align with their search. However, doing this takes knowledge of customers’ search patterns and an understanding of how to fully utilise said keywords. Whether you run a small or big eCommerce brand on Shopify, having good SEO is necessary to generate more traffic to your store. Why is Shopify SEO important?

Experts in Google Ads. You only need to look across the internet to assess who claims expertise. In our opinion, becoming an expert in Google Ads is a rite of passage. a. You understand how to track conversions. b. You understand how to achieve a good quality score on an ad. c. You understand how to correctly target ads to the relevant and identified audience. Current push in AI experts. Yes, AI is and will change some of our landscape, but it is also important to understand its current limitations and the requirements set by Google to rank a site. Understanding when not to use AI is as important as knowing when you can use it. Designers putting together websites vs people who understand Marketing Technology. These are two different beasts, each fulfilling their own place and role in your business. In our opinion, the following understanding of Marketing Tech and what is needed to support a website in Google has longer term benefit to a business that a design with no online traction nor visibility. So, what should you think about ? a. Create a website for findability. b. Create a strategy for keywords – this does not mean thinking about your keywords, it actually means having a strategy for keywords and topics. c. Create a solid website structure that is loved by Google. d. Set up the website to meet Google’s current requirements. e. Keeping up to date with digital requirements, as these change all the time and the google algorithm is regularly updated. Changing website content without thought “because it seems like a good idea” can crash your website. Yes, make considered and relevant changes but track the impact. Even with the best of intention and an understanding of how to rank a website, you will only truly know the real impact once a Google crawler has visited your site. Management of your current online ranking and the impact of what that change means for your position and visibility online is vital. SEO skills and services.

Being recognised as a leader in SEO is an accomplishment, but it is also important to benchmark yourself against companies and tech beyond NZ to ensure that you are keeping not only yourself but your clients up to speed. So, what in our opinion are the changes and trends? What are the latest trends in MarTech for digital marketing? AI governance will be a contender for harnessing as we move into the future. How can AI governance impact digital marketing strategies in the future?AI can go rogue, and it is only as good as the intel that it devours and then returns to you. Yes, it can become a “source of mistruth” and moving into the future, the governance of AI may become a key focus. But we know that truth can depend on a viewpoint, and this may truly present real issue relating for truth seekers as we move into the next years. We are entering a new quantum era and the tech that is now evolving and taking hold is going to be reshaping our society. From gene editing as it becomes more affordable to human considerations as our youth becomes less fit than the generation before. Did you know that according to military.com published in 2022, “A new study from the Pentagon shows that 77% of young Americans would not qualify for military service without a waiver due to being overweight, using drugs or having mental and physical health problems.” New tools are also entering the marketplace to support you in your day-to-day tasks. These tools are evolving at the speed of light and are changing daily. Identifying what your business need is and then matching the best and advanced tech to that need will continue to be a challenge but one that will constantly propel you forward. I am always of the opinion that one step forward and a smaller step backwards continues to ensure you are moving in the right direction. In some of my presentations, I use the JIVE term used in sailing. AI PolicyAs with anything, small, medium to larger organisations may need to look at an AI Policy. How will AI be used in the organisation? The particular elements that I would focus in on would be the confidentiality of data area. Bottom line – people will always be the driver. How can businesses ensure that there is quality in any AI content they generate?With AI content being the buzzword, the internet will quickly be filled with content that is rubbish and a regurgitation of something else. The concern about the validity and quality and originality of this content is real. It is a fact that in some cases AI-generated content could be low value. What are the elements of marketing and digital marketing that remain relevant?Content should always be user-focused, content should always provide value and the tried and tested elements of marketing – Product, Price, Place, and Promotion are important (those four P’s of Marketing). Digital is really the communication of this in a fast-paced tech world, that has ramped up that promotional element and allowed you to communicate far wider than you possibly have ever been able to do before. By ensuring that content is meaningful and obviously relevant, you still have the opportunity to stand out in visibility rankings that we all search for online. You can still engage with your customers (future or present). Leveraging technology to engage and communicate with your audience utilising strategies such as: Content marketing Social media marketing Email marketing SEO – Search Engine Optimisation (Local – On-page and off-page) Paid Advertising All help to reach those goals of the right person, at the right place with the right message. Using Marketing Technology (MarTech in Digital Marketing) to be able to optimise the performance of these platforms is the key to understanding how to extend your advantage. I have always said that this data to a marketer is like Xero Accounting Software to an accountant. The importance of this is still that we should look at: Quality Control: Emphasising that the human insight should never be discounted in favour of AI. Value of Created Content: Always ensuring that content truly provides valuable insight or solutions. Basics of Marketing still apply: Digital marketing effectively helps you reach and engage with this possible or potential customer in a tech-focused and driven world. Data to drive decision making: Self-explanatory but protect this as much as you can. I often see this data being lost as people move between service providers or key staff members with access to this data change hands. I referenced this at a recent conference I spoke at when I discussed the topic of security and access management in the digital realm. MarTech in Digital Marketing becomes the driving force to understand your online successes and failures. Engaging the Figital GenerationPossibly the area of most focus is how to engage with a generation that has been largely exposed to continued fidgeting. The “Figital Generation”. Will they use tech as the past generation has, will they use voice to activate search, these will be the leading questions to keep an eye on. Engaging with the “Figital Generation”. or those that have grown up in a world where the boundary between physical and digital has become murky. The generation accustomed to instant and immediate results or actions. So, what are the key considerations? The tech-savvy and expectations: Many in this generation are highly tech-savvy. They have an intuitive digital encounter with multiple types of devices and value speed and efficiency above all else and do make crucial decisions in that online space. They expect fast-paced environments and environments that are totally user-friendly.  This certainly is part of the reason behind the “mobile first indexing requirement”  set by Google. Voice and AI: How does voice influence SEO Strategies?  Voice search and AI-driven personal assistants (Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant) are increasingly popular amongst this generation. Optimising our content for this search involves natural language and answering direct questions. Example questions might be: “What’s the best restaurant near me?” or “How do I fix a leaky tap?” Personalisation of the online experience: This generation will expect those personalised experiences. So, use strategies that can personalise product recommendations or target ads based on user behaviour or preference. Create sharable content that is appealing and will in the longer-term drive higher engagement. Authenticity and value: Two elements that have always been important. In a world where questionable content is the mainstay of your online feed, the “Figital Generation “will continue to demand authenticity and transparency from the brands they use and love. They will always be more likely to engage with content that feels genuine and is relatable. Providing this real value through your content, providing insightful information and articles and genuinely intending to build trust will support you with your online endeavours. The omnichannel presence: This is all about the consistency of brand and brand presence across all your channels. From your social media to your website, from offline to online (i.e., website to instore). Creating and ensuring that there is a cohesive and comprehensive user experience is important. In conclusion, How can MarTech tools help in optimising your marketing performance? Staying ahead of the ever-evolving digital landscape requires thought, a proactive approach and a strong determination to leverage technology whilst maintaining your understanding of your client or potential customer’s needs. By focusing on quality content, personalising the experience and using advanced marketing tools (MarTech), you can effectively engage with the “Figital Generation” and beyond. It is a fast-paced tech world, and it’s not about keeping up, but about leading the way. Enhancing your reach and being seen, heard and found online. If this sounds like what you’d like to do for your business, be in touch. That’s Cathy Mellett from Net Branding sharing my thoughts.

Website speed directly impacts on a user experience and because user experience is key to ranking online, it therefore has a roll-on impact on search engine optimisation (SEO). Faster website loading times on a mobile device result in lower bounce rates, with this comes higher engagement and therefore improved user satisfaction. More so in the coming months, Googe will prioritise fast loading pages in their top rankings and therefore page speed is becoming a top critical factor in achieving and maintaining high search visibility to those clients potential searching for your product or service. Deindexing of mobile website if they don’t meet the Google Standard.Google and other search engines continue in its determination to deliver the best possible content to its users. Yes, the searcher and your potential client or customer searching for your product or service. In the past, if a webpage provided thin, duplicated, or irrelevant content, it might not be viewed as favourable or ranked in a search result query. But Core Updates have not stopped here. March 2024 – the Google Core Update.In March 2024, the Google Core Update affected hundreds of websites. This is part of the early “cleaning out” low-quality content and AI-generated nonuser focused website content or spam. Change is inevitable and it is my view that the update due on 5 July 2024, with have a big impact. Predicted Google Update impacting on the mobile website – 5 July 2024.In the world of digital change, the biggest impact on the world wide web of websites and possibly your business website is the change due on 5 July 2024. What is this 5 July 2024 Google update exactly?Google has stated that it will not be indexing any sites that are difficult to access on a mobile. But what is difficult, this could include: - Speed of the website. Rendering of the page on multi device sizes. Mobile friendly websites. There are different configurations for mobile friendly sites, these could include responsive design, separate URL’s or dynamic serving. Accessing and rendering by Google. It is important to ensure that google can access and render your mobile website page content. What does this mean? Avoid user interaction for lazy load of primary content. Do let google Crawl all your resources and do not block any URL’s with disallow rules. Consistency of content across desktop and mobile versions. Keeping your website content the same on all versions of content is important. This not only ensure consistency but avoids the potential of traffic loss. Do not forget to use clear headers with meaning on both mobile and desktop versions of a website. Metadata. If a mobile version and desktop versions exist. Ensure the meta data descriptions are on both. Ad Placement. Using the “better ADS standards”. Avoid ads that may harm mobile ranking. Visual Content. Consider images and video including the format of these images, consistency of use across versions and the quality of these images. Changing URL’s for images and videos each time the page loads is to be avoided. Separate URLs. Some sites have separate URLs for desktop and mobile (m-dot sites). It is important to manage error page status and avoid fragment URL’s. Verify both the mobile and the desktop version of the site in search console. Remember to use the correct rel-canonical and rel-alternate link elements. Common error trouble shooting. Review your site for common errors that can prevent your mobile – first index. E.g. missing structured data, blocked images, issues with titles and descriptions on pages, non-indexed tags and low-quality images on the website. So, what does this really mean for your online presence? Your website and your digital visibility.This new core update and change is part of a 7-year strategy embarked on by Google. The focus being a complete “mobile-first index” requirement. Simply interpreted as Google wanting to create a better user experience for searchers. Why? It stands to reason; more people are using their mobile phones to search. Google has been using a smart phone crawler for a little while, so this is not new. But as of 5 July 2024, if you website’s information and pages are not easily accessed by a mobile device then these pages and website will not be indexed. To clarify – although this may feel a little confusing, Google has not stated that sites that are not mobile friendly will be deindexed. But it is saying that this is as long as it loads on a mobile. What should you do. 1. Check your mobile website speed. 2. Check the website core vitals 3. Make sure Google can render your website’s content on all devices. 4.

Even though emails seem authentic, proceed with cautionSummary:It's always wise to exercise caution, especially when it comes to emails that seem genuine. Even if they display familiar logos and / or lookalike sender domains, it's so important to be vigilant and wary. In a recent situation, an email purportedly from a local domain provider was forwarded to me by a client of Net Branding. Upon closer inspection, however, it became evident that the email had actually originated from storehippo.com, indicating it might be spam or a phishing attempt. Facts:This email “came from” a legitimate local domain provider – 1st Domains. It was forwarded to me from a Net Branding client seeking clarity about the status quo. I reviewed their domain in the domain account. The domain is current, and the domain has been renewed. I reviewed the email further and noted it is sent by storehippo.com This is a possible malware installation email. Conclusion:Be aware!!!  Any one of us can be trapped by emails that are designed to look legitimate. Our client tells us that this is not the only such email he has received. This scenario serves as a reminder that appearances can be deceiving. Even though everything might seem legitimate at first glance, it's essential to scrutinize the sender details carefully. This incident underscores the importance of remaining vigilant against potential threats lurking in our inboxes. Sharing experiences like these with others can help raise awareness and protect everyone from falling prey to similar schemes.

While many trends may come and go, SEO is one of the prominent digital marketing activities that has stayed because of its ability to generate positive returns. Each day, Google processes 8.5 billion searches online. Businesses that don’t capitalise on these numbers are losing out on potential customers who could go to their competitors instead. But what is SEO? And how is it essential to your business? Let’s explore more in this article. What is SEO?SEO, or Search Engine Optimisation, is the process of optimising one's website and online content to be highly visible on search engines like Google. With less than 1% of customers going to the second page on Google, being at the top spot is crucial to getting noticed. SEO involves incorporating specific keywords that consumers search for in your content (and its backend), to make it more discoverable online. However, SEO isn’t just about stuffing your website with keywords. Proper SEO should flow naturally and offer value-added knowledge to your reader. So why is SEO important for businesses in Auckland? Here are six reasons why we think SEO is more crucial than ever in 2024. Organic traffic delivers more customersTo get noticed on Google, many businesses pay to be in the top spot (a marketing strategy known as Search Engine Marketing). While SEM is another great marketing tool, it’s ultimately organic results that build trust and brand liking among consumers. Organic traffic on your website can only come from effective SEO. Google is currently the number one search engine worldwide, so it’s important that you focus your efforts on obtaining traffic through the search engine. Build your website authorityMany businesses make the mistake of spending too much on building a good-looking website while ignoring how they will market it. Without SEO, your customers cannot find your website, no matter how much you’ve spent creating it. A clear SEO strategy involves creating quality backlink profiles, thus ensuring that your website is mobile-friendly and optimised to provide the best user experience. This will not only draw more customers to your website but also build its authority as an online information source. SEO requires minimal costSEO is one of the most cost-effective digital marketing strategies, requiring almost zero online spending. Additionally, SEO has one of the highest ROIs among other marketing activities, making it highly popular. However, creating a website with foolproof SEO requires time, effort, and knowledge of best practices. It’s simply not the case of adding keywords and expecting results. If you’re unsure how to get results with SEO, consider getting an SEO specialist in Auckland to help you get started. Boost local traffic and conversionsLocal SEO is the act of optimising your website so that it’s searchable online. This is especially important for small businesses like plumbers and restaurant owners to increase their discoverability. An example of local SEO in action would be listing a business on Google My Business, which ensures it’s discoverable when a user searches for services near them. SEO returns last for yearsCompared to other marketing activities, SEO can bring long-lasting results. Think of SEO like a marathon and not a sprint - while it may take some time to see the results, its effects are there to stay. Achieving continuous results with SEO is long-term work, and you should continuously update your website with the latest content to ensure that it stays on the top of Google’s page. You should also be aware of the latest SEO trends, as Google is known to change their algorithm constantly. SEO is 24/7While online advertisements will only appear at specific periods (depending on how much you spend), SEO is constantly running 24/7. For example, a florist who has listed her website on Google can ensure that potential customers will see it when they search for ‘florist near me’ no matter the time. Staying at the top spot on Google organically also means that customers can find your brand online 24/7 with minimal effort once it’s there. Key TakeawaySEO is a specialised task that requires experience and knowledge to get it right. If you’re not seeing results with your SEO or don’t know how to begin, talk to an SEO company in Auckland, like Net Branding, to help your business get discovered.

This follows Google’s announcement that it’s shutting down websites made through its business profiles. According to Google, this planned shutdown will begin in March 2024 – but what does this mean for your business? If you have a website made with Google Business Profiles, customers who visit your site will be redirected to your Business Profile on Google until the 10th of June. Any customers who visit your website after June will encounter a “page not found” error. Google website shutdown: What you should knowHere are some of the key points relevant to you with the website shutdown: Your Google Business Profile itself won’t be affected. Google recommends updating your Google Business Profile to the latest website. Customers who click on your website domain will be redirected to your Google Business Profile until the 10th of June 2024. If your website domain ends with business.site and negocio.site, it will be removed from your Business Profile. Why this mattersThis is significant news for businesses using Google’s website builder, which will impact how customers search for them online. Many small businesses utilise Google’s free Business Profile website, and this decision is a significant one. Businesses will have to use another website builder to establish their online presence because it is important for customers to find them. According to Adam Boote, Director of Growth at Localsearch, businesses need to act quickly to maintain their online footprint. “We’ve experienced a significant increase in demand for new websites across the board. This heightened interest underscores the importance for businesses to maintain a robust online presence in today’s digital landscape. For those who are yet to transition away from a Google Business Profile website, it is crucial to act now to ensure your business’s online presence is not significantly impacted from Friday onwards.” Localsearch Executive Chairman Daniel Stoten echoes this sentiment and highlights the importance of an effective website. “Maintaining a robust online presence is crucial for businesses in our increasingly digital world. A well-designed website serves as the digital storefront for a business, allowing customers to discover services, gather information, and engage with the brand at their convenience. With Google phasing out websites created through Google Business Profiles, it’s imperative for businesses affected by this change to act swiftly.” What you should doIf you’re affected by the change, here are some steps to ensure you maintain a strong online footprint. Build another website ASAPWebsite builders such as WordPress are a great alternative to building an intuitive site that works for your business. Before choosing your website platform, consider factors such as costs, usability, security, and integration to avoid future headaches. Update your website listing onlineIf you’ve listed your website URL online, then you should update them soon after your new website is built. This can include updating on platforms such as your social media pages, Yellow Pages, and any other websites containing your website address. Adjust your ad campaignsIf you’re running ad campaigns on Google or on social media that links back to your previous website, put them on pause or change the URL. This will ensure that customers are not directed to an error page or a profile without a clear call to action. If you have any offline advertising campaigns that link back to the website, remember to change those as well to avoid disruptions. Communicate to customers and vendorsIf you have any customers or vendors who frequent your site, you must keep them informed regarding your website change. It could be a simple post on social media or an email notifying customers that your website is currently being upgraded. Key takeawayWhile this news from Google may seem daunting, it’s a great opportunity for your business to build an effective website that captures leads and sales.

The crucial element of digital branding is the interconnection and the process of content sharing between these assets, ensuring alignment with how algorithms interpret your website. Digital branding may encompass your website, social media profiles, online or digital ads, content marketing, and more concerning Search Engine Optimization. What is digital marketing?With the advent of websites, digital marketing truly began in the '90s with the internet. However, the phrase was coined later with the emergence of social platforms, summarizing online marketing. Ultimately, it was the promotion of brands connecting with potential consumers or customers using the internet or other digital communication forms to be heard in the digital world. Digital Branding & Digital MarketingThe everlasting goal of many businesses is to be seen, heard, and found, attracting the attention of searchers or potential customers as they surf the net. While in the past, shopping malls were filled with print media, posters, magazines, or billboards, today, we approach our reach and connection differently. Our targets are the computers, tablets, or mobile devices owned by many. Touchpoints via email campaigns on a regular basis (monthly or weekly), online advertising campaigns with various objectives for reach or action on search/Google platforms, or social media platforms for targeted marketing campaigns. Influencers/YouTube for video—our list of reaching customers has certainly changed over the years. AI may simplify some aspects, but in my opinion, digital marketing nous is still required to lead online. As more businesses turn to the internet and marketing campaigns become suddenly accessible to many, noise becomes real. Consumers have started tuning out marketing speak considered too pushy or irrelevant. So how do we counter the full feeds online? Welcome to Digital Branding.While digital marketing exists to capture leads and sell, digital branding focuses on building value-add relationships and engaging with current or future customers in the online space. But can Digital branding and Digital marketing work together? Consider this—Digital marketing is the car/bus/train, the vehicle needed to create the digital brand. It allows sharing brand identity on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, or X (Twitter). However, for these digital assets to be impactful, you need to create a brand—a memorable tagline, client-oriented speak, enticing consumers to consume your digital material as more than just an advert. Reaching customers takes experience to allow these two divas of digital to meet. But when marketing and branding come together, you can engage, keep reach alive, and avoid being considered as noise.

Your marketing budget is better spent on online and offline advertisements than buying Instagram followers. New Zealand has over 2.2 million Instagram users, accounting for 57.6% of the country's population. This figure alone makes it highly enticing for businesses to build a prominent presence on the platform. One of the biggest (and controversial) questions I get asked as a digital marketer is this: Should I buy Instagram followers?  Brands and online personalities have two ways of growing their follower count online: organically through tried and tested ways or purchasing followers through third-party services online. Buying followers is a quick way of increasing your follower count, and you can see a rise in numbers almost immediately after purchase. But the reality is not that simple, and you should consider the long-term effects it’ll bring to your business. Should I buy followers on Instagram? The pros and cons. Let’s review some of the positive aspects of buying followers on Instagram: You can increase your follower count, which translates to a visible higher following rate for your brand. Your overall brand image improves with a higher follower count, potentially increasing your brand’s perceived value. A higher brand perception leads to better endorsement deals and partnerships with other brands. More followers may attract more customers, as people trust your brand better. While it may seem like a good idea, buying artificial followers does come with downsides. Before going into the cons, knowing where these purchased followers come from is important. Most of the time, these followers are likely bots or inactive accounts, so they won’t engage with your posts. Unlike real followers who can comment, like, and share your post, their contribution only exists in the number of followers on your Instagram. Let’s then discuss some of the negatives of buying followers. Buying artificial followers can range anywhere from $10-$50, and there’s no guarantee of tangible results (i.e. likes, clicks, sales). Bought followers are usually temporary, and you’ll have to keep paying to see your follower count stay at your desired number. Artificial followers do not guarantee engagement, as they won’t comment, like, or share your posts. This may be harmful if you want to run any contest or interactive content. The lack of engagement may hurt your social media presence, as your posts won’t appear on Explore Pages or your real audience’s newsfeeds. Buying fake followers violates Instagram’s rules, and your account may get shadow-banned. This may be harmful to your brand image in the long run. Consumers can sense when a brand page has artificial followers, which may potentially damage your reputation. Instagram, and social media in general, works best when it promotes genuine interactions among brands and consumers. With artificial followers, you’ll be unable to measure your post performance accurately and monitor customer sentiment. Key takeaway So, should you buy Instagram followers? As someone with decades of experience in digital marketing, I don’t recommend buying followers. Inauthentic followers hurt your data, reporting and content strategy. Additionally, your engagement rate metrics will be too inaccurate and unreliable to make meaningful, factual decisions. If you do go ahead and buy followers, you'll harm your social profiles and analytics. I believe that Instagram followers are best when they are authentic. To discuss how you can grow your following authentically, speak to our team at Net Branding.

As a Harvard sophomore, Mark Zuckerberg first released a program called Facebook in February of 2004. I was in Auckland, and over the next years, Facebook news and possibilities for business, started to bubble to the surface. Some of the first clients I supported were in 2007 and 2008. But back then, I was one of the only businesses doing this as many still grappled with the concepts and opportunities these platforms provided. Over the next years, that program would then launch a company that would capture more than 3 billion users in value of a trillion dollars and make so much cash that it's now giving back dividends to shareholders. Facebook has kind of changed our lives, some good and some not so good. My charity, I’m Enough, is really focused on the impact of our digital world on young people. We know that Facebook was one of the first social platforms —MySpace before that. And then Instagram and later TikTok started to have a bigger influence on our young people's lives. FOMO, the fear of missing out. The value of likes and the emphasis on this "like" and "follower" economy. As a migrant to New Zealand, Facebook has helped me connect with people all over the world. Relatives, now scattered across the globe, schoolmates living in different lands, and uni friends or later colleagues that have spread their wings to other parts of the country or world. How has Facebook changed our lives?Social networking has changed lives. From those early days of Facebook when you needed a Harvard domain email to access the platform to today when many people have access to the platform. Things have certainly changed. My early clients were even pre the business platform being created, and many of these clients had personal profiles I worked on. Back then, reach was possible with no ad spend, and we know that for businesses this has certainly changed in the last years. A THROW BACK – Client review from 11 years ago. Two years after Mark launched Facebook, he released it to the world and was able to create those communities which create a network effect that has literally, as you said, billions of people, almost half the earth on Facebook and its other platforms. But there has been some negative publicity and real impacts for the Facebook Business (now called Meta). • FOMO, to the point where teenage girls, according to Facebook's own studies, are more prone to mental health issues as they use the platform. • Economy of Likes is real and brings anxiety. • FTC privacy violation episode. • Election impact and Scrutiny in many countries. • Misinformation management or over management. What will the next years see for Meta? Time will tell. I do have some ideas but right now and happy to chat about those in another update but for now. I am still proud to use the car number plate F4CEBK. A number plate secured back in around 2009. Happy 20th Birthday Facebook. It sure has been a ride.

Frustrating, right? Well, that's where WordPress speed optimisation comes into play. It involves a series of techniques and tweaks that aim to enhance your website's performance and loading speed.

Picture this: you stumble upon a website that takes ages to load. Frustrating, right? Well, that's where WordPress speed optimisation comes into play. It involves a series of techniques and tweaks that aim to enhance your website's performance and loading speed. By implementing these strategies, you can ensure that your visitors have an enjoyable browsing experience, keeping them on your site longer and boosting your chances of conversion. Improving Your WordPress SpeedNow that we know what WordPress speed optimisation is, let's explore some practical steps you can take to improve your website's speed. 1. Optimise Your Images. Large and un-optimised images can significantly slow down your website. Use image compression plugins or tools to reduce file sizes without compromising quality. Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words, but it shouldn't cost you a thousand milliseconds. 2. Clean Up Your Plugins. Too many plugins can weigh down your WordPress site. Review your current plugins and remove any unnecessary or outdated ones. Choose lightweight alternatives and keep only the ones you truly need. 3. Caching is King. Implementing a caching system can dramatically speed up your website. Caching stores static versions of your pages, allowing them to load faster for subsequent visitors. Consider using popular caching plugins. Success Stories with WordPress Speed ImprovementLet's take a moment to dive into a real-life success story. Meet Sarah, a small business owner who was struggling to attract customers to her online store. Her website was slow, causing potential buyers to abandon their carts and shop elsewhere. Desperate for a solution, Sarah turned to a WordPress speed optimisation service. After implementing the necessary changes, Sarah saw an immediate boost in her website's speed. Not only did her bounce rate decrease, but her conversion rate soared. Google noticed the improvement too, rewarding Sarah's website with higher search rankings. Today, Sarah's business is thriving, thanks to the power of WordPress speed optimisation. Freelance vs. Established Agency: Who Should You Choose?When it comes to WordPress speed optimisation, you have two options: hiring a freelance developer or partnering with an established agency. Let's weigh the pros and cons: Freelance Developers. Freelancers can offer personalized attention and often come at a lower cost. However, be cautious as their availability and expertise may vary. Some freelancers might not have the necessary experience to tackle complex optimisation tasks. Freelancers can also disappear over time, as their life takes them to other countries, they gain full time employment or more exciting projects take their time. Established Agencies. Agencies bring a team of experts to the table, providing a comprehensive solution for your website's speed optimisation. They have the resources, knowledge, and experience to handle any challenges that may arise. However, working with an agency may be more expensive compared to hiring a freelancer but longer term, you are backed by a brick-and-mortar establishment If you choose correctly, you are also supported by the digital agency owner who has passion and energy to ensure their client’s succeed online. In today's fast-paced digital world, a slow website can spell disaster for your business. By investing in WordPress speed optimisation, you can create a seamless user experience, attract more visitors, and boost your chances of success. Whether you decide to go with a freelance developer or an established agency like Net Branding, taking action to optimise your website's speed is a surefire way to make Google fall head over heels for your business. So, what are you waiting for? Take the first step today and watch your online presence soar! GET IN TOUCH ### AI – A safe bet or not. You choose when it comes to content generation. Let's take a trip down memory lane to 2023. There was a website that made a bold move by purchasing an expired domain. In July of that year, they published their very first article. Impressive, right? But what happened next is what really caught everyone's attention. By August, they had already published a staggering 5000 articles. And by September, they had a mind-boggling 15000 articles, resulting in a whopping 12 million organic traffic views. Can you imagine the potential income that could be generated from that kind of traffic? Well, this website was on track to make over £60k per month in passive income. According to SEM RUSH, this website was poised to dominate the search engine results pages (SERPs) with its 12 million organic traffic views. It seemed like nothing could stop this money-making machine. But then, out of nowhere, the site vanished. Just like that, it was no longer existent, wiped off Google. Here is our Net Branding check of the coopwb.in website as at 30 October 2023. So, what happened? Was this site penalized by Google for overusing AI in their content generation? Or did the owners decide to take the site offline themselves, perhaps to explore other ventures? This case raises an interesting question: Does Google penalize AI content? The truth is, we can't say for certain. Google does have algorithms in place to detect and penalize websites that engage in manipulative or spammy practices. However, the exact workings of these algorithms are closely guarded secrets. It's important to note that AI-generated content is not inherently bad or frowned upon by Google. In fact, there are countless websites that utilize AI in their content creation process and have seen great results. The key lies in creating high-quality, valuable content that resonates with your audience. AI can be a powerful tool in content generation, helping to automate and streamline the process. It can assist in tasks such as generating topic ideas, formatting content, and even language translation. But it should never replace the human touch – that unique perspective and storytelling ability that sets us apart. At the end of the day, the fate of a website lies in the hands of its creators. Whether AI content is penalized or not, it's up to us to use it responsibly and ethically. We must ensure that the content we generate provides real value to our readers and doesn't just serve as clickbait or spam. So, does Google penalize AI content? The answer is not so clear-cut. It's a mix of algorithms, human judgment, and the quality of the content itself. The best approach is to focus on creating authentic, engaging content that connects with your audience. And who knows, maybe your website will become the next big thing, without any penalties from Google.

With search engine optimisation (SEO) being a cornerstone of digital marketing, it's essential for business owners and decision-makers to be well-versed in the latest strategies. Below we'll explore six must-do's for SEO in 2023 and 2024 that can help you boost your visibility, engage your audience, and ultimately drive more traffic to your website. 1. Develop a Visibility Growth StrategyTo thrive in the online world, you need to be seen, heard, and, most importantly, found. Crafting a comprehensive visibility growth strategy is the first step towards achieving this goal. Start by conducting thorough keyword research to identify the terms and phrases your target audience is searching for. By optimising your website's content and structure around these keywords, you'll increase your chances of ranking higher in search engine results pages (SERPs). 2. Content is KingThe famous adage "Content is King" still holds true in the realm of SEO. Creating high-quality, informative, and engaging content is key to attracting both search engines and your audience. Gone are the days of generic and uninspiring content. To stand out from the crowd, inject your content with passion, energy, and a unique perspective that resonates with your target market. Remember, it's not just about quantity but also the quality of your content that matters. 3. AI has Value, but Quality is Still EssentialArtificial intelligence (AI) has undoubtedly revolutionised the way we approach SEO. Automated tools can analyse data, identify trends, and make recommendations. However, while AI can provide valuable insights, it's important not to rely solely on it. Avoid falling into the trap of producing vanilla and bland content simply to satisfy an algorithm. Balance AI-driven data with human creativity and expertise to produce content that captures attention and adds value to your audience. 4. Video for EngagementIn today's fast-paced digital world, capturing your audience's attention is more challenging than ever. Video has emerged as a powerful tool for engagement, allowing you to convey your message in a captivating and visually appealing way. Integrating video content into your SEO strategy can boost your website's visibility and increase the time visitors spend on your site. Moreover, don't forget that YouTube, the second-largest search engine after Google, offers a vast opportunity to reach a wider audience. 5. Link Building: Building Trust and AuthorityLink building remains a crucial aspect of SEO, as it helps search engines determine the credibility and authority of your website. However, it's essential to approach link building with caution and focus on quality rather than quantity. Seek out reputable websites within your industry for guest posting opportunities, collaborate with influencers, and foster genuine relationships with others in your field. A solid link building strategy will not only improve your search rankings but also establish your brand as a trusted authority in your niche. 6. Partner with a Leading SEO AgencyNavigating the ever-changing landscape of SEO can be a daunting task.

Key Takeaways • Finding questions keywords that will ‘juice up’ SEO efforts can be done through online tools such as AnswerThePublic, Google Autocomplete, Ahrefs Keyword Explorer, SEMrush and scouring social media or specialized forums. • To determine the value of question keywords businesses need to pay attention to search volume, competition and relevance by using research capabilities from sources like Google Autocomplete or Answer The Public. • Business owners should create an FAQ blog post with clear and concise language while utilizing relevant keywords for effective optimization. Identifying a keyword theme is also important for successfully managing SEO research activities. Ways to Find Question Keywords for SEOUtilize online tools such as AnswerThePublic, Google, Ahrefs, SEMrush and scour social media or specialized forums to uncover valuable question keywords. AnswerThePublicAnswerThePublic is a powerful and free keyword research tool for business owners looking to understand the needs of their target audience. With just one click, it will generate dozens of longtail question-based keywords related to a brand, topic or person. AnswerThePublic’s interface allows users to refine their search by filtering results based on popular phrases, prepositions and alphabetically within questions. This helps reduce huge data into consumable chunks that can be used appropriately in content creation for SEO. The application is easy to use even for beginners as it offers detailed information about each result listing like the number of searches per month source domains etc., making it an invaluable tool when building SEO strategies around finding question keywords. GoogleGoogle is a powerful search engine that can be leveraged to find question keywords for SEO purposes. Business owners can take advantage of Google's autocomplete feature by starting with a question word and adding in relevant terms to see suggested options. For example, if the business is focused on health insurance, they might type “What are the benefits” into Google Autocomplete and see what popular questions come up. You can also use Google Analytics and Search Console reports to leverage existing website data to get more insight into user searches on your site as well as identifying trends related to your industry or niche area within it. In addition, competitor websites may hold valuable information about keyword opportunities - whether you're using them yourself or creating content that targets better positions than theirs you should keep an eye out for potential keyword ideas when exploring other sites through tools like Ahrefs' Site Explorer tool which offers its own insights into competitors too. AhrefsFrom keyword reports to content optimization, Ahrefs is a powerful SEO tool for business owners looking to find question keywords. The platform’s Keyword Explorer feature provides an in-depth look at targeted topics with keyword suggestion tools that allow users to view search volumes, CPC data and relevant pages. It also includes related questions, blog posts and prepositions that help clue users into the right keywords. Additionally, the Ahrefs Content Explorer enables business owners to easily view what type of content resonates with their target audience by sorting through millions of pages by domain ratings and types of content. This helps them determine which specific topic and keywords are necessary for optimized visibility on Google or other major search engines – all without wasting any time researching dead-end SEO opportunities. SEMrushSEMrush provides a comprehensive keyword research tool that can help businesses find relevant search topics and questions surrounding their industry. With the Keyword Magic Tool, users are able to gain an in-depth understanding of what potential customers are searching for and uncover lesser-known keywords that often have higher conversion rates. Additionally, they offer competitor keyword analysis which allows business owners to see which keywords competitors are targeting as well as more insight into customer intent by seeing which terms drive organic traffic to those sites. Through SEMrush's SEO Content Template users can easily optimize existing webpages or craft new articles with questions specifically tailored towards their target audience. For business owners looking for an effective way to utilize question keyord strategies in SEO, SEMrush offers numerous features that can help them identify valuable opportunities and maximize ROI on digital marketing efforts. Social Media and Specialized ForumsAs a business owner, utilizing social media and specialized forums can be another great way to discover question keywords for SEO purposes. These websites often contain conversations around industry topics of interest from both customers and subject matter experts that offer insights into the language people use in everyday speech when discussing related products, services, or brands. By getting involved in these conversations, it is possible to understand how real people talk about certain topics which can help uncover important keywords used in everyday conversation. Additionally, many of these sites provide search capabilities allowing business owners to quickly find threads relevant to their inquiry as well as monitor trends over time so that they are aware of any new keyword opportunities that may arise. How to Determine the Value of Question KeywordsWhen it comes to optimizing for question keywords, business owners need to pay attention to search volume, competition, and relevance. Search volume will help you get an idea of how many people are searching for this keyword in a month; the higher the value, the better. Competition should also be taken into account – your SEO efforts may be futile if other companies are dominating that specific keyword group. Finally, make sure that the keyword is relevant to your website’s content; otherwise it won't benefit your SEO campaign whatsoever. To determine how well-suited a certain question keyword is for SEO purposes and ensure that they can achieve their desired rank goals without falling prey to a dead end effort, business owners should use tools like Google Autocomplete or Answer The Public which offer effective research capabilities. For example, Answer The Public's Question Analysis tool shows related questions based on each key term giving businesses meaningful insights into what website visitors are likely looking for when using certain words or phrases when creating their SEO strategies. Additionally Ahrefs' Keyword Explorer Tool and SEMrush's Keyword Magic Tool can be used to identify high traffic topics populated with longtail keywords - ones more likely receive higher rankings due as they have fewer competitors vying for those positions in search engines results pages (SERPs). Additionally analyzing existing site data from sources such as Google Analytics and Google Search Console provides valuable information on user behavior throughout a company’s presence online which includes search queries done by customers enabling them uncover potential opportunities within demographic groups they had not yet considered catering towards previously. Similarly stealing keywords from competitor websites either outright or by considering industry trends may allow one gain an edge over its rivals in the form of increased organic traffic depending on quite how good such techniques prove at generating responses. Ultimately selecting powerful question-based keywords up front allows businesses direct their budgets towards activities where chances of achieving success offers generous returns rather than spinning wheels chasing after efforts doomed never result significant gains in terms visibility online . Content Ideas for Using Question KeywordsFrom creating an FAQ blog post to recording a video, discover the different ways you can use question keywords to create valuable content. Create an FAQ Blog PostCreating an FAQ blog post can be highly beneficial for business owners looking to improve their SEO rankings and increase website traffic. Having a well-crafted FAQ section on your site is important, as it can help users quickly find the information they need, boosting customer satisfaction and engagement. It also gives you an opportunity to include relevant keywords in your content that will help drive greater visibility with search engine algorithms. 1. Organize questions by topic – Grouping related questions together helps visitors more easily find the answers they are searching for as well as providing valuable detail to search engine algorithms about what keywords should appear at different depths of your website page hierarchy structure. 2. Use clear, concise language – Make sure all the questions are easy enough for anyone to clearly understand them so readers don’t get lost in translation trying decipher complex phrases or industry terminology within each question or answer text block paragraphs; 3. Utilize relevant keywords – Be aware of which words you choose throughout each section when crafting out your faq setup configuration properly; including targeted key terms provides further guidance about preciselywhat topics hold importance across various sections onyour webpage; this assists both potential customersaswell assignifying useful weighing by Google crawlerswhen determining how much authority top allocate foreach specific subject matter focus area per URL relativeto other competing sites from around online world stageconcerning same core topic areas attempts reachingoutbound towards Fluentzing target audience optimallyeffectively Internet wide - continually optimizingsemantic construction shaping web domain data thereinproducing maximum ticker tape value sometime soonmoving forward declaration emphatic fashion orderlycertainly driven results one step another perspectiveaccording sped accurate independence Day regulationconstructs laid out there.....etc... 4.

Identify a Keyword ThemeIdentifying a keyword theme is important when conducting SEO research for business owners. A keyword theme is an organized set of related keywords, used to create content and attract targeted traffic. For example, if you have a blog post about camping equipment, your main keyword may be “camping gear” but your supporting keywords could include “sleeping bags”, “tents”, “backpacks” and so on – all of which form part of the overall keyword theme. Creating quality content with relevant keywords helps improve search engine rankings by providing specific information around certain topics. It not only drives more organic traffic to a website but also increases the relevance of pages indexed by Google. Add to an Existing ArticleAdding question keywords to existing articles is an effective way for business owners to improve SEO. Incorporating keywords that target questions, rather than statements, can help a website rank higher in search engine results. Doing so helps attract more web traffic and generate more leads through increased visibility. Below is a comprehensive guide on how to add question keywords to an existing article: 1. Review the existing article: Conduct an audit of the article and identify areas where improvement is possible. Look for areas where you can include relevant keywords without sounding forced or repetitive. 2. Identify popular questions related to the topic: Use online resources such as Google autocomplete, Ahrefs keyword explorer, SEMrush keyword magic tool, AnswerThePublic, specialized forums like Reddit or Stack Exchange, and social media sites to find popular questions people are asking related to your industry or product/service. 3. Research answers to the identified questions: To ensure that your answer offers value and addresses major concerns of potential customers, use existing website data (such as Google Analytics and Search Console) combined with competitor research (including keywords from their website) to get insights into what answers are needed and in which form e.g., videos or podcasts). 4. Add relevant content between existing paragraphs: Be sure not to sound robotic or put too much emphasis on longtail keywords by repeating them multiple times; instead opt for natural-sounding content with keyword variations spread throughout the sentence for improved natural readability and ranking success. Additionally, make sure your content adds value so readers are encouraged to stay longer on the page and come back often. Also remember that adding images and videos can help improve engagement in addition to including relevant internal links which may lead readers down a different thought path while reinforcing trust with them by citing reliable solutions from experts in other industries/niches as well as giving due credit when quoting sources - this ensures legitimacy! Use Question Keywords as HeadersUsing question keywords as headers can have a major impact on SEO. Headers are the titles and subtitles of an article, so they need to be creative enough to capture users' interest yet concise enough for search engine bots to understand what the content is about. Question keywords offer relevance to readers by offering answers that address their queries directly. Such targeted headings also help boost visibility in the search engine rankings by demonstrating the site's relevance for users’ searches. Record a VideoCreating video content is an effective way to target question keywords for SEO. Videos can help to engage and educate the audience, improve website visibility, increase organic traffic and in turn generate leads. When it comes to leveraging question keywords in content, videos provide a great platform for delivering informative or entertaining responses that capture viewer attention quickly. As searchers are increasingly becoming less likely to read long-form text, video content has become a critical source of information with audiences more receptive towards visual formats than ever before. A thorough keyword research must be conducted prior to creating any video so that one can identify valuable question keywords on which they should build their strategy around. By understanding how people search for answers related to your brand or product you can accurately deliver relevant message targeting those query terms when crafting your video's script shot list and potential titles. ConclusionThe key takeaway is that businesses should prioritize their SEO efforts to successfully generate organic traffic from search engine queries. Utilizing opportunities by finding valuable question keywords for SEO can be done in a variety of ways, such as examining competitor’s website metadata and using multiple platforms like Answer The Public, Google autocomplete, Ahrefs keyword explorer, SEMrush keyword magic tool, Reddit etc. Businesses need to remember to stay focused on the most effective method for finding high value keywords so you don't waste your time on dead ends. Finding good query terms increases visibility through targeted audiences who are looking specifically for information related to what you offer.

Recent appearances of numerous "Appeal a Page Policy Violation" public groups and fan pages on Facebook are an attempt to harm Facebook members. Look into the scam's operation and how to avoid it: How “Your page has been scheduled for deletion” Facebook phishing scam works1. Hackers send this message to fan page administrators, stating that the page "has been scheduled for deletion" because it disobeyed the Community Standards guidelines. The page will thereafter be removed unless people click a link to "cancel the deletion" right away. 2. This link takes you to a Facebook note page called "Appeal a Page Policy Violation." Some information on the "case" is displayed on this website, and the note asks visitors to submit complaints by clicking on another link. The link appears to be legitimate and takes users to a website that mimics a genuine Facebook profile. (It is a fake one, in fact!) 3. As seen in the example below, we discovered that hackers use an external link (bit.ly) to bring you to the phoney Facebook assistance page. Except for the "Appeal" button, all the links and buttons on this page are broken. 4. If you click the "Appeal" button, a form that requests details such as login email addresses, contact information, names, and page names will appear. Your submitted information will go into the hands of scammers and hackers. With it, they can get in touch with you and deceive you into sending your login information by posing as Facebook representatives. As a result, they can access both your fan pages and Facebook account. Alternately, they could utilise the data for other frauds like identity theft. Protecting Yourself from Facebook Phishing Scams: A Visitor's GuideNavigating the digital landscape safely is crucial, especially when using social media platforms like Facebook. To help you avoid falling victim to phishing scams, here are some essential tips and additional information that can be valuable for your online security: Verify the Web Address: When accessing Facebook, always check the web address in your browser's address bar. A legitimate Facebook page should begin with "facebook.com/". Be cautious if you notice any variations or misspellings in the URL, as these could be red flags indicating a potential scam. Seek Help from Official Sources: If you encounter any suspicious activity or receive messages that seem fishy, it's best to reach out to Facebook's official support channels directly. Avoid clicking on links or using contact information provided by unknown sources. Instead, go to the Facebook Help Center by typing "Facebook Help Center" into your search engine and accessing the site from there. This ensures you're in the right place to get genuine assistance and not being directed to a fraudulent site. Guard Your Personal Information: Protecting your personal information is paramount. Never share sensitive details like your password, credit card numbers, or social security information online, especially in response to unsolicited messages or requests. Facebook will never ask for such information via direct messages. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Consider enabling two-factor authentication on your Facebook account. This extra layer of security requires you to provide a secondary verification method (e.g., a code sent to your phone) in addition to your password when logging in. This helps prevent unauthorized access to your account, even if your password is compromised. Stay Informed About Common Scams: Stay up-to-date with the latest Facebook phishing scams and other online threats. Facebook often publishes information about known scams on its security page. Being aware of these scams can help you recognize them and avoid falling victim. Regularly Review App Permissions: Periodically review the apps and services that have access to your Facebook account. Remove any that you no longer use or trust. To do this, go to your Facebook settings, click on "Apps and Websites," and manage your permissions. Educate Yourself: Educating yourself about online security best practices is an ongoing process. There are numerous resources available online, including articles and tutorials, that can help you become more vigilant and informed about digital threats. By following these guidelines and staying informed, you can significantly reduce the risk of falling victim to Facebook phishing scams and other online security threats. Remember that vigilance and awareness are your best defenses in the ever-evolving landscape of online security.

Websites serve as the virtual front door to your brand, offering a platform to showcase your products, services, and ideas to the world. However, behind every well-designed website lies a critical component known as website hosting. In this blog, we will dive into the world of website hosting and shed light on its significance in the digital landscape. The Foundation: Understanding Website HostingImagine your website as a house, and website hosting as the foundation on which the house stands. Just like a strong foundation is essential for a sturdy house, reliable website hosting is fundamental to ensure your website's performance and accessibility. Website hosting refers to the infrastructure and services required to store and deliver your website's content to online visitors. There may be some elements to consider such as location, 24 x 7 support, redundancy and more. The Land: Comparing Hosting to the Virtual Real EstateIn the physical world, the land your house sits on determines its location, accessibility, and potential. Similarly, the hosting provider you choose can significantly impact your website's success. Different hosting providers offer various packages with varying features and performance levels, similar to choosing the perfect plot of land for your dream house. There are some environments where the website has to be modified to sit on the land but other environments where the land is built for the type of technology that your website is created in. Maintenance: Caring for Your Digital AssetJust like a house requires regular maintenance to keep it in top shape, websites also need ongoing care. Website maintenance involves activities such as updating content, fixing broken links, and optimizing performance. Neglecting website maintenance can lead to decreased functionality and user experience, affecting your online reputation. Repairs and Security: Protecting Your Digital HomeHouses are susceptible to wear and tear over time, necessitating occasional repairs. Similarly, websites may encounter security threats and vulnerabilities that require immediate attention. Investing in a regular maintenance can extend the life of your asset and in addition safeguard your digital asset against malware, hacking attempts, and other cyber threats.

GET IN TOUCH ### 3 Top Social Media Trends For 2023 Social media is an ever-changing game. We’ve seen some amazing developments and updates from big platforms like X (formerly known as Twitter), and who can ignore TikTok as the biggest social platform right now. It can be challenging for marketers and business owners to keep up with the trends. However, staying updated helps you capture your audience at their peak attention and beat the competition. If you’re struggling to keep up with the latest, here are our top, must-know trends in the social media world in 2023. Trend 1: Short-form video is still kingThere’s no denying that short-form videos are becoming more effective in getting customers’ attention than long-form videos. From Instagram Reels to TikTok videos, these types of video content typically lasts no longer than 60 seconds – appealing to engaged and activated users. It was only in 2016 that TikTok paved the way for content creators to share their creativity in bite-sized videos. Today, TikTok has over 1.677 billion global users and 1.1 billion monthly active users, and the numbers keep growing exponentially. If you’re a marketer, this is one statistic you don’t want to overlook. Trend 2: YouTube is alive and kickingYouTube is a fantastic platform for audiences to engage with brands and content creators through creative, longer videos. Although the platform is almost 15 years old (which is ancient in social media age), it has still proved itself to be more engaging and effective than ever before. In 2023, the social media platform has recorded over 2.70 billion active users, and over 122 million people visit YouTube every day on their app and website. YouTubers such as Mr Beast have 184 million subscribers, which, to put it in context, is around the size of the Super Bowl audience. This level of audience reach makes content creators like him highly attractive to advertisers. YouTube is also an overlooked search engine, so companies should consider optimising the videos for ranking and improving their searchability. Trend 3: The content creators hold the powerInfluencers and content creators have been crucial in driving how and how much we use social media. From educational animal videos, to cleaning TikTok videos, to fashion product reviews – it seems like the possibility is endless for inspiring and engaging content. Collaborating with the right influencer for your brand is key, as the right influencer would have an audience that aligns with your brand values. They would also be able to target ready buyers actively seeking the type of content relevant to your product or service. For example, companies like Lululemon and Nike show how effective influencers are in drive their brand message. In conclusion, short-form videos, SEO optimised YouTube videos, and leveraging content creators are trends that shouldn’t be taken lightly this 2023.

In the fast-paced and highly competitive world of digital marketing, achieving a prominent online presence is not merely a desire but an essential strategy for businesses to thrive. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the cornerstone of this strategy, determining how effectively a website ranks in search engine results. However, ranking for a limited number of keywords has emerged as a failed SEO strategy. As an SEO strategist, I often see clients pursuing an SEO strategy focused solely on ranking for just a handful of keywords - usually somewhere between 3 to 10 target keywords (SEO strategy fail) . While this may seem reasonable, focusing all your efforts on such a small group of keywords is a flawed SEO strategy that will not result in meaningful organic traffic or business growth. When you spread your efforts across a wide array of keywords, your content becomes diluted and needs more depth to stand out. There's no denying that a solid SEO approach is essential to secure a high position in search engine results. However, the tactic of targeting a range of limited keywords, while seemingly broad and comprehensive, is indeed a failed strategy that often yields underwhelming results. In this article, we delve into the reasons why this approach falls short and explore the more effective alternatives that modern SEO demands. Limited Exposure and Reach: With search engines indexing billions of queries daily, concentrating on just a few target keywords severely limits your potential to attract meaningful search traffic. While these keywords might be relevant, they'll fail to capture the vast array of user search queries. In today's dynamic digital landscape, users employ diverse search terms to find information, products, or services. So, you will miss out on potential traffic from countless other search queries by fixating on a narrow keyword set. Even very popular, high-volume keywords may only drive a small handful of daily visits. Keyword Volatility: Search trends and user behaviour evolve over time. Relying on a narrow range of keywords can become problematic if those keywords lose popularity or become less relevant. A broader strategy encompassing a more comprehensive array of related terms can adapt to these shifts more effectively. Competitive Landscape: In most industries, numerous competitors are vying for the exact top keywords. It can be challenging to outrank established websites and domain authorities for these highly competitive terms, especially with limited resources. Algorithm Changes: Search engine algorithms, like Google's, are dynamic and constantly evolving. An algorithm update can significantly impact your rankings for specific keywords, leaving your strategy vulnerable if built around only a handful. Intense Competition: Popular keywords often come with fierce competition. Everyone wants to rank for them, making the journey to the top of search engine results pages arduous. Relying solely on a few keywords means grappling with established competitors who have likely invested substantial resources into securing those positions. The Progressive Path Forward… When we concentrate on a specific combination of keywords, we can tailor our efforts towards those most relevant to your business and your target audience. This precision ensures that the content we create and the optimisations we implement are aligned with the exact needs, preferences, and intentions of the users searching for those keywords. Reduced Competition: The broader the range of keywords we target, the more competition we face from other websites trying to rank for the same terms. By focusing on a select combination of keywords, we can identify and capitalise on opportunities where competition might be lower. This enables us to position your website more prominently and effectively in search engine results. Enhanced Relevance: Search engines are increasingly focused on delivering relevant results to users. When your website ranks for a specific combination of keywords that precisely match what users are searching for, you're more likely to attract genuinely interested visitors. This heightened relevance leads to better user experiences and increased engagement. Comprehensive Coverage: Rather than spreading our efforts thin across numerous keywords, we can concentrate on creating high-quality, comprehensive content that thoroughly covers all aspects of the selected keywords. This deep dive into the topics provides value to users and signals to search engines that your website is an authoritative resource, resulting in higher rankings. Building Domain Authority: By consistently producing valuable content centred around your chosen keywords, we can establish your website as an authority within a specific niche. This focused approach builds trust among users and search engines alike, contributing to higher rankings and increased visibility. Refined Conversion Funnel: Targeting a specific combination of keywords allows us to design a conversion funnel that aligns with the user's intent at each stage of their journey. This tailored approach optimises the user experience, guiding visitors through relevant content and ultimately increasing the likelihood of conversions. Ongoing Monitoring and Adaptation: With a focused keyword strategy, it becomes easier to monitor and measure the effectiveness of our efforts. We can track the performance of the selected keywords, identify trends, and make data-driven adjustments as needed. This iterative process ensures that your SEO strategy remains relevant and effective. Long-Term Success: Focusing on a specific combination of keywords is a sustainable approach that aims for long-term success. Instead of chasing short-lived gains, we're building a solid foundation for your website's visibility and authority within a specific niche. This approach pays dividends in consistent traffic, engagement, and conversions. In summary, focusing on a specific combination of keywords brings strategic advantages. It defines our actions, lessens competition, and aligns content with audience needs. The tailored content increases relevance and enhances engagement. Concentrating on specific keywords also enables comprehensive topic coverage and boosts platform authority. It also refines the conversion funnel, guiding interactions effectively.

Feel Forced to Choose Between Paid Ads or SEO – Which Is Better for Your Business?When you first turn your attention to your online digital marketing footprint it can be overwhelming and you’ll probably be feeling the pressure to choose where to spend your marketing budget – on PPC Paid Ads or on SEO. We’ve put this together to walk you through the pros and cons of both, as well as how to think about the utility of both in your forward marketing plans The Acronym Wars: PPC vs SEO and ROIThere isn’t a business on earth that doesn’t come with its own plethora of acronyms and lingo – and digital marketing is no different. These are the most relevant to the current discussion so let’s unpack them a little. PPC – Pay Per ClickPay Per Click is a general term used to describe paid online ads because this is how online ads were charged, and still are but other metrics are now sometimes also used. The basis of this concept is that you agree on a price per click, the agency display your ad on their platforms, and at the end of an agreed period the agency will charge you for how many clicks your ad got. Now, if you agree to a higher cost per click, they’ll show your ad in better contexts, higher on lists, and to more selectively chosen viewers. In other words – the more you pay the better the result. SEO – Search Engine Optimization Optimization of website writing, sales listings, and technical back end changes enables search engines to see what’s on your site and what you specialize in. SEO works by making sure that your potential customers can find you when they’re actually looking for you – not by chance or while scrolling through social media. Imagine if 95% of the people who walked in to your brick and mortar store were prepped and ready to buy? Well, that’s kind of what SEO does, because the people finding your service are searching for that service. In addition, SEO can help you build a parasocial relationship with customers before you’ve even spoken to them. Think about the following scenario – you’re looking for a nice pair of boots, they need to look nice enough to wear to work events and big meetings but high quality enough to actually wear in the day to day. You’re looking into what makes a good daily wear boot for your needs, and you come across a blog talking about how to maintain and eventually repair their shoes, you click through and see their range. The site is full of sizing information, care guides, and their manufacturing process. That brand has already communicated to you that their boots are high quality enough to be repairable – no one can re-sole a $9 knock off from a big box retailer – and that they stand by their products enough to believe you’ll be wearing them for years and years. Contrast that with scrolling past a flashing picture on social media that says 20% off. ROI – Return on Investment By looking at the distinct pros and cons of Paid Ads vs. SEO, which is better starts to become apparent for your situation. Like most things in life, the right balance of choices is different for everyone – some people can work out six days a week without getting injured while some competitive athletes can only hit the gym three times a week. Some businesses do better with paid ads while others would seem utterly untrustworthy without a solid foundation of SEO behind them. You might well buy a t-shirt or a book from a paid ad that leads to a sales website, but you’d be less likely to choose a medical practitioner or home builder without being able to find them online. The Pros and Cons of Choosing Paid AdsBy looking at the distinct pros and cons of Paid Ads vs. SEO, which is better starts to become apparent for your situation. Like most things in life, the right balance of choices is different for everyone – some people can work out six days a week without getting injured while some competitive athletes can only hit the gym three times a week.

You might well buy a t-shirt or a book from a paid ad that leads to a sales website, but you’d be less likely to choose a medical practitioner or home builder without being able to find them online. The Pros of PPC Paid AdvertisingInstant Gratification (sort of): paying for views is transactional, but not guaranteed. Just because you pay for visitors doesn’t mean they’ll come. Generally speaking, though, a good ad campaign can bring in more people than normal because the algorithms are smart – they target the people you tell them to. Variability for Audience: running very different ads on various social media platforms or targeting different people is a great feature of Paid Ads. For example, you could run one ad asking first time home owners if they’re aware of the need to have their roof inspected/cleaned/repainted and at the same time remind seasoned property investors that a freshly inspected/cleaned/repainted roof can really bump the value on a property. Both of these ads can be equally as successful, so long as you get the targeting right. The Cons of PPC paid AdvertisingThe Crash: just like lifting weights and running, going all out on the most intense thing for the fastest results might work for one or two in a million but for most of us we need to start off slow with some walking and bodyweight exercises. Paid Ads can be a little like crash dieting - you pay the money and you get the visitors; you dive head first into the complicated food rules and lose the kilos. The campaign ends and the visitors stop; the weekend comes and you just want to eat something that actually makes you feel full and drink something other than the weird tasting tea – and the water weight comes back overnight. When you pay for your audience, you need to keep paying for their attention. The Cost: while there certainly are affordable keywords for PPC, they’re not going to be the ones that make the biggest difference to your bottom line. Paying a few bucks per click sounds like a deal, but when you need nearly 200 clicks a day just to make conversions you’re actually spending between $5,000 and $10,000 a month as a medium sized business. The Financial Risk of PPC: the concept of pay per click is essentially buying views – you pay a company X amount per person who sees it, so they want to get as many people as possible to click on your ad. Which is great, so long as you set it up correctly and you’re going through a reliable agency. There’s also the question of set up – daily budget limits, campaign length, max PPC dollar amounts, the level of targeting you do. While clicking a button that says something like “best quality clicks only” sounds like a fantastic option it could result in you paying a hefty price per click - and we’re not talking about a couple of bucks either, we’re talking hundreds of dollars. For example, a recent survey showed that pay per click advertising for lawyers and legal advice can run, on average, between $150 and $300 per click! If 50 people (which isn’t that many people) click your ad? That could cost you fifteen grand. Now, imagine you set that campaign to run everywhere, and for an unlimited daily budget, and an unlimited amount of time. Now imagine that you didn’t set your targeting well enough and half those people are teenagers looking for the latest episode of some TV show starring a lawyer – ouch. The Reputation Risk: Google AdSense is secure but aside from Google based ‘sponsored’ search results, you’re not usually dealing directly with Alphabet. Intermediaries like MediaVine, Ezoic, and SHE Media are advertising agents who help people monetize their websites by placing AdSense ads on them – now these are pretty darn reputable as Google Certified Publishing Partners, but where there are reputable options there are always less reputable ones. The latter of these place ads wherever they think will get clicks and their ad interfaces can be difficult to dismiss – ever seen ads with a really hard to click X button? Tried to exit an ad and been redirected to their download page because it just looks like a “close” button? These are good examples of a service that’s paid an ad company to place their ad, and have paid for your click that will never result in a conversion because you were trying to exit the ad. Not only is this a financial risk, but we’re willing to bet you’ve never thought well of those companies that feel like they’re forcing you to their pages – they feel like a scam, right? More than that, while there is the capability to block specific URL’s from showing your ads there are a lot of websites you might not want your face, brand name, and business phone number showing up on. High Skill Barrier to Entry: the financial and reputational risk aspects play into the high skill barrier for entry. Paid Ads are safe – when done correctly. Unfortunately, this means a lot of education and practice to make sure you’re getting it right. The Pros and Cons of Choosing SEOThe Pros of SEO:Control of Content: when you’re publishing content extensively, you can see everything you’re putting out in your brand’s name. Sustainable Customer Flow: SEO is a reliable source of potential customers because of the snowball effect – the more people find and click your link, the more people the search engines show it to. Long Term Results: This means that instead of losing value, your old posts actually increase in value as they get older (especially if you update them regularly, you’re telling search engines ‘hey look, we’re still the best at X, see how trustworthy and reliable we are!). Does More Than Deliver Customers: an ad says a lot about your brand, but doesn’t create a relationship with your customer. When you publish expert content you’re telling everyone who comes to your site that you know your stuff, can be trusted, and deserve loyalty even after this transaction is complete. Having great SEO content makes your site a place for them to go for information not just a one time purchase and by establishing yourself as a reliable specialist – in combination with delivering a great service or product – you create the holy grail of transactional business, the repeat customer. The Cons of SEO:Complicated to DIY: learning SEO yourself can be tempting, after all, it seems simple to write about your topic of expertise. However, optimized copy is only one side of it, there’s back end and technical SEO to consider, as well as the UX/UI aspects which can require graphic design and more. Upfront Cost of Long Term Investment: paying someone for something you can’t immediately see feels frustrating, and many people are put off by the idea. Lagging Results: the fact that SEO is a long term approach means that the result can feel detached from the action. Publishing a page now won’t have an immediate overall boost, it will take a little while. Learn more about hiring an SEO company for your business, why SEO costs what it does, and how long SEO can take to work in our education posts. Don’t Choose Paid Ads or SEO – Choose The Pros From Both!We’re not saying there’s no place for paid ads – targeted advertising can be a great compliment to a digital marketing plan, especially in high traffic periods like EOFY, Christmas, and industry specific busy periods. However, just like generous slices of cheesecake and staying out until closing, they should be applied with care and consideration – eating a ¼ of a cheesecake for dinner and staying out until 1am everyday is never going to be a sustainable lifestyle. Nor is relying on PPC for all your traffic. SEO is the most reliable and sustainable way to promote your services. With intentional planning and regular maintenance, actions you take now can be serving you customers in a decade. You’ll often see SEO likened to the foundation of a house but we think it’s more like the foundation, steel structure, insulation and dry wall, and the roof of a house. PPC is more like the decorative touches that make people who wouldn’t normally look at your place go “oooh” like doing Christmas lights or putting a fountain in. Get your digital house built right with SEO and embellish later. GET IN TOUCH ### Does a small business really need SEO? Breaking it down; why does a small business need SEO?Small business SEO is a perfect example of how powerful of a tool SEO really is – it can be the differentiating factor between a small business just getting by and a well established local institution. SEO for small business is a delicate balance of budget, goals, and the markets. We won’t tell you that SEO will 100% take your sole trader, hand made artisanal giftware shop to the international heights of something like Target – but SEO can 100% improve your reach and establish you in your niche. Pro tip: if an SEO company tells you that SEO alone can and will do that for you, that’s a red flag. Check out our “How Do I Know My SEO Company is Good?” for more things to help you know what to look for in a good SEO company Out performing big businesses in search results is absolutely possible with SEO, and lots of people do it regularly. Whether it’s a one-woman travel blog appearing above Trip Advisor and Booking. Com or a local mechanic coming first when a national chain of mobile mechanic vans is result 2, 3, 4, or 5 – SEO is why. Why does it matter? My small business can’t compete!While it can feel futile to compete against a company larger than your own, nationally or even internationally established, we’re here to tell you it’s not! Really – it’s not! Many people (understandably, but incorrectly) feel that there’s not much point for small businesses to use SEO to rank higher than the big players in their industry because they’re not providing a similar service – no one goes to Target for artisanal goats’ milk hand cream. The difference is, target is aiming at everyone while you’re aiming at the people who most resonate with your product. Let’s expand this example a little more. Imagine: you’re looking for a gift for a family friend, they love skincare but you don’t know too much about it. Searching for a broad term like ‘hand cream gifts’ will probably show up a bunch of market place ads, and mega retailers like Target offering low-price, pre-wrapped, and generic gift boxes – but you’re not that keen on giving something so obviously impersonal and so add ‘organic’ to the search bar. That gives you may of the same results from Target, but the third one down is someone hand-making hand creams, soaps, and candles down in Queenstown. Their website is full of information about their products and the making process, this person even raises their own goats and posts adorable pictures of them on their socials – and hey look they have free shipping. Now, the person who doesn’t care what hand cream they use might choose either the mega retail or the small business, but the person buying something they care about? They’re going to choose the small Queenstown local. It might seem illogical, but when a small business gets in front of the same people Target does they immediately have a competitive edge simply because they’re not Target – the trick is getting in front of that audience, and SEO is the key to that trick. The Cost Of Small Business SEO InvestmentSEO for small business owners is often a point of concern due to the perception of high costs, but when you look at the benefits of SEO and the comparative costs of other digital marketing it can still make a lot of sense for small businesses to invest in SEO. While the upfront cost can feel like a lot, SEO is the most effective and long-term marketing avenue – including paid advertising. The ROI is impressive to say the least, considering that when done well your SEO puts more appropriate eyes on your brand than traditional or online advertisement. You know those bus stop ads that are selling the ad space itself? They often say things like ‘get 140,000 eyes on your brand by advertising here’. Sure, 140,000 people may well drive past that bus stop in a day, but let’s say you’re a craft brewery. Around 20% of those are likely to be children – not your audience. About 25% of women and 17% of men don’t drink alcohol – also not your audience. So let’s do that math. To account for the children: 140,000 – 20% = 112,000 To account for the female non drinkers: (112,000/2)-25% = 42,000 To account for the male non drinkers: (112,000/2)-17%= 46,480 That leaves 88,480 people seeing that bus stop that are immediately disinterested. We hear you saying ‘88,480 people is still a lot of people!’, and we don’t disagree – but the ROI is terrible! You’re paying to be shown to 140,000 people and over a third of them will never be your customers – and that’s before looking at the percentage of people who don’t drink beer, don’t want to go out to drink, or just don’t have time to drink socially. If you asked your assistant to hand out 1,000 flyers and they threw away 370 of them – would you keep asking them to do it? Compare that to well crafted SEO where 99% of people who are looking at your brand have actively sought out a craft brewery to go to. We aren’t saying that SEO should be your only avenue for marketing but we know – and the stats agree – that it’s easily one of the best returns on investment in the marketing space. Ok, small businesses can benefit from SEO – but why does a local business need SEO?Does a small business need SEO if they’re not looking to serve people outside their immediate community? Let’s talk about it! When we’re looking at the question ‘does a local business need SEO’ it comes down to a few more factors, like what the local competition is and if they’re looking to grow. If you live in a town of 100 people and you’re the only bakery in 50 miles, then SEO probably won’t be at the top of your list of places you’re sourcing your customers from. If, however, to make a little extra revenue you’re thinking of selling an e-book on the history of baking, niche dough braiding patterns, and historically accurate baking practices - you’ll have a lot more success with SEO on your side. For a more realistic example, let’s imagine your small local business is one of three or four art supply stores in a town of 100,000 people or so. You might be local, but there are plenty of people who have only ever driven past one of those store fronts and don’t know you’re there. SEO for your small business can put you on the map – literally! The simple act of getting your business to show up on Google Maps is a matter of digital footprint management and SEO, and it means that when someone goes to their app and types in the name of their preferred art store – yours will still pop up! The opportunities SEO for local businesses provides is huge and can’t be ignored. Let’s level up for the next example. You’re a plumber in Auckland, there are hundreds of competing plumbing businesses all after the same Auckland homeowners as you. This position can benefit hugely from SEO specialized for local businesses. You know what it’s like looking for a local company to provide a service, unless you have a personal recommendation from a trusted friend – you’re going to turn to the search engines for information, and honestly how often do you go past page one? Page two? Page three?? If your company isn’t easy to find, people will go with others that they find first – even if your service is better, prices lower, and technicians friendlier. Does a small business need SEO? Yes, if they want to grow, have efficient marketing strategies, and compete within their location, niche, and target audience.There are several things to consider when engaging a SEO consultant for your small business, but the bottom line is that when SEO for small business owners is done well it can be the key to success. GET IN TOUCH ### How much does SEO cost Business Owners Need to Know: how much does SEO cost in NZ?SEO can play a significant role in the success of almost any business, even if they don’t focus on web based sales (but more on that example below!). Every SEO business in NZ has a different starting point in terms of cost, and it also depends on the scale of website, existing website issues, geographical reach, and the goals of the client. The typical monthly average cost of SEO in New Zealand is between $1,000 and $5,000 per month. In cases where a one off SEO project is needed, it also heavily depends on the full scope of the SEO work needed – and this can range between $1,000 and $30,000. How can something that seems as simple as once off project SEO cost as much as $30,000? That’s easier to see when you step back and look at the process of SEO as a whole. SEO Quick Rundown: understanding the levels and complexities of SEOSEO (which is short hand for Search Engine Optimization, by the way), is the process of refining and creating content on a website with the aim of improve the brand’s visibility through improving the ranking on search engine results pages. The act of aligning the website's content, structure, and user experience with “best practices” favoured by the major search engine algorithms can help your company to appear higher in the search results when potential customers are looking for your services. By using a variety of keyword research tools, optimizing and reorganizing on page elements, managing backlinks, and enhancing technical website performance, SEO influences the level of long term organic traffic as well as providing ongoing monitoring and analysis of customer behaviour which can help you to target your marketing better in the future. Have a read of our blog “Why is SEO So Expensive?” to learn more.SEO Cost, NZ Based ExamplesBecause of complexity we just discussed there is no easy way to give a blanket answer to those asking how much SEO costs, so let’s break down some examples of some hypothetical situations. (Please note that these examples are given to provide education only and are not intended as an exact guide or quotation for services.) Example of SEO cost in Christchurch: In this example let’s assume the following: Brand Description: Joan runs a mid sized restaurant and family friendly bar in the most popular area for tourists and local families alike, and has done so for about five years. Much of their competition is from similarly sized and located businesses – there is even one right next door! A lot of their business is walk in clientele looking for somewhere to eat and see that it is a nice and clean place with a good looking menu, some are drawn in by the open play area advertised on a poster by the door – they can eat a meal while the kids blow off some steam in a safe and enclosed environment. Her website is attractive enough but a little hard to use, and in some places, a little out of date. She doesn’t post much on social media, travel review sites, or use ads. Goals of the Brand: Joan is looking to book more tables ahead of time, to stabilize the level of trade she does every night, and to win a greater portion of the tourist market than her competitors. Hypothetical SEO Provider: In this example is a large sized consultation company with many branches across the world. They have writers, graphic designers, website building teams, direct marketing specialists, and dedicated marketing strategy consultants. Circumstances: For Joan, the job isn’t easy as there is high in-person competition and she offers much the same fare as they do. So, the SEO company in this example will need to revamp the website, update all existing webpages, renovate her social media, and help her find a direction for her marketing strategy that will bring in reviews from patrons on booking sites, search engines, and social media. As this is a big job and Joan wants the best of the best, the company is going to put two of their writers (one for website cope and one for social media copy), two of their graphic designers (one for the website and one for sharable social media images), completely re-design the website from the ground up, create and maintain direct marketing strategies, and actively pursue improvements every month. So, how much does SEO cost for this example? The initial project of renovating the website, rewriting and creating upwards of 20 web pages (and the graphics to go with them), and setting up initial strategies for marketing could easily be in the 300 to 500 hour range. The median wage for New Zealander’s is $27 an hour – so the initial project could cost Joan between $ 8,100 and $ 13,500. If ongoing monitoring and social media creation accounts for 20 hours a month, that’s an ongoing $540 per month. In a year, then, SEO costs Christchurch pub owner Joan $6,480, plus the initial project work. Example of SEO cost in Auckland: In this example let’s assume the following: Brand Description: Luke owns a small accounting firm that specializes in tax returns and helping people with complex situations stay on the right side of tax law. There are not that many accountants in Auckland with such a narrow focus, and yet most of Luke’s clients come to him via word of mouth. Goals of the Brand: Luke loves that his clients are so happy with his services that they recommend him, but he’d like for people who don’t happen to personally know his existing clients to be able to find him. He does have a website but hasn’t updated it in a while, and does not have a social media presence as he thinks it’s a bit weird for an accountant to be doing TikTok dances. Hypothetical SEO Provider: A mid-sized local company with a few people employed to help with administration, writing, and client care. Circumstances: In this case Luke needs a website facelift, ongoing blog posts, newsletter updates, and social media education. Because there is a very specific client that Luke needs to attract, the competition is lower but he will still need a sturdy SEO approach to out rank the big finance firms offering easy “tick and flick” tax returns that don’t solve his client’s pain points but do tend to be on the first page thanks to their company heft. When it comes to social media, Luke sits down for an hour briefing on the benefits of social media for businesses of all kinds and he’s shown a posting plan that focusses on personal finance tips, reminders about deadlines, and discussions about changing legislation. Once a list of blog post topics is approved, the websites refreshed and updated, and Luke realizes that no one expects him to dance or follow trends he decides that he’d like the company to come on for ten hours a month and take care of updating it for him. So, how much does SEO cost for this example?Because the website is reasonably simple and Luke only wants a bare-bones approach to blog posting and social media this kind of SEO costs Aukland accountant Luke approximately $$ Example of SEO cost in Tauranga: In this example let’s assume the following: Brand Description: Alex is the owner of an online shop selling handmade soap and accessories. The shop was going quite well until about three months ago when their traffic dropped almost to zero – and so did sales. Alex couldn’t figure out what was happening or why, then one of their social media accounts was hacked and it seems like no matter what they do no one can get this other person out of the account. They still have loyal customers who have standing orders or find them at farmer’s markets, but when they’re asked, they say they can’t find Alex’s shop on Google anymore. Goals of the Brand: Figure out why the traffic tanked and they lost their reasonably good ranking, and to get their social media back! Hypothetical SEO Provider: A one-person show, this SEO consultant has 15 years’ experience and only takes on a few projects at a time. Their consultation for SEO costs more than some of the big companies but this is justified as you get their full attention and are essentially paying for exclusivity – they’re full service and have the exact skills you need. Circumstances: Blackhat SEO is a term referring to a set of unethical behaviours that focus on pulling down competition, rather than improving in order to move up the rankings. In this case, the SEO specialist was able to uncover thousands of spammed links to Alex’s store on untrustworthy and unsavoury websites. The process of removing these is tedious and can take a lot of time. Retrieving the social media accounts took longer as the person who had done so had also gained access to the email address Alex used to manage the accounts and so could see every time Alex reset the password! Eliminating the source of the problems is only one half of the work, Alex needs the SEO consultant to stay on the job and help rehabilitate their online presence, monitor spam links, and attend to their cyber security. So, how much does SEO cost for this example? This case required very specialised skills and dedicated work from a highly experienced and in demand provider and so the forensic and corrective SEO costs Tauranga soap maker Alex over $12,000 for the initial work – even though nothing new was created. The ongoing cyber security monitoring and careful rehabilitation will account for nearly 20 hours a month to ensure that it won’t happen again, that the company will once again be on the first page after the search engages come to trust Alex again, and so that people can enter their payment details with confidence. Knowing that Cyber Security average wages are around $50 an hour and SEO specialists can bring in between, $100 and $375 an hour – you can see how specialist help can add up quickly. Let’s say this specialist charges $250 an hour – the ongoing monitoring and SEO may well cost upwards of $5,000 a month. Example of SEO cost in Hamilton: In this example let’s assume the following: Brand Description: Mandy runs a hairdressing salon in Hamilton and is on a tight budget, she’s just starting out and doesn’t really understand SEO but has a good handle on her own Social Media – she just doesn’t know how to be professional on the salon’s page. She wants to attract young and fun clientele, as well as somewhere for older fun people too. The problem is that people see her ads on socials and think she’s fake, or they don’t trust her enough to put their hair in her hands. Goals of the Brand: Create a solid base of trustworthiness and social proof, improve click through rates on ads, and get more people who do come to her site to actually make an appointment! Hypothetical SEO Provider: This SEO provider is a small, one person operation with a good range of services, who is also just starting their business . As Mandy is on such a tight budget, they have out together a basic package for her that will help get her on her feet. Circumstances: In line with the budget package, they have put together a plan for Mandy to take forward for her social media with guides and some templates for future use. The website was fresh and clean so only the content needed addressing, her advertising plan was trimmed down and revised to be more targeted, and her social media was only tweaked. The basic starter package has a once off cost, and when Mandy realized that she really – REALLY – didn’t like writing blogs, she added a single blog post a month from the provider. So, how much does SEO cost for this example? Very basic starter pack SEO cost in Hamilton hairdresser Mandy’s experience is very affordable – just $350 for a quick refresh and assessment of her approach to ads, social media, and web posting. Going froward, but still on a budget, a single blog post per month can cost as little as $100. Variability of SEO Cost in NZ So, as you can see, how much SEO costs varies wildly between large international SEO providers working on holistic, multi divisional digital marketing packages, to highly specialized. The below industry guidelines can give a general idea of what differently sized businesses should expect SEO cost to be: Startup - $900 to $1,500 per month Small business - $1,500 to $3,000 per month Medium size business - $1,500 to $5,000 per month Enterprise - $5,000 + Per month. Broadly speaking it can be said that the standard going rate for an SEO specialist is between $100 and $375 + GST per hour.

Why do SEO services cost a lot?When you look at a business and all those business associated costs, it’s important to look at each one and ask if its really necessary for it to be so high – and one of the things that gets questioned more than others is SEO services. We actually get asked a lot, why is SEO so expensive? Don’t worry, we’re used to it! There’s a few reasons why SEO wears the price tag it does, and by delving into the intricacies of SEO's complexity, the specialized skills it demands, the investment in cutting edge tools, and the ongoing efforts required for sustainable results, we aim to shed light on the reasons why SEO is often associated with higher costs. SEO can seem expensive because: it is a slow burn.It’s no secret that SEO is a long term strategy, but as we all know it’s an instant gratification world out there and for some people a month should be plenty of time to see if something is working. While there may be some improvement in that period, it’s by far not the end of the road. Pro Tip: if an SEO company promises overnight results, that’s a red flag. Check out our “How Do I Know My SEO Company is Good?” blog for more red – and green – flags. One of the issues with SEO is anecdotal claims that it doesn’t work and success bias. Imagine – someone is starting a business and they hire an SEO company so write several webpages and blogs for them, but they don’t see much change in the first month. The business owner is annoyed and decides to discontinue because he feels the SEO services are expensive, and instead puts all his marketing budget into paid advertisement and sees immediate results. Over the next few months’ the SEO pages and blogs do just as well as the pages with ad leads – the owner assumes that he was right, see ads are the thing! What he doesn’t see coming is when he decides to pull back on the ad budget, the hit rate on all the pages fall – except the SEO’d pages because they’ve been bringing people in via search engines all alone. The problem is, he assumes it’s because they’re the oldest pages and so of course they’re bringing people in… recency and success bias at work. It really can take a few months for SEO to pay off because it takes that long for the search engines to a) get around to crawling your site, b) see that it’s a consistent and trustworthy page from a consistent and trustworthy website, and c) for the user interaction with the site to support the search engine’s assumptions about the page. Let’s unpack that third one a little: If you were looking to buy a lawn mower and so, naturally, you went to your preferred search engine and searched for something like “best lawn mowers on sale in Auckland” and the very first result was a blog about goats. That was not what you were looking for, so you cast a glance over it and hit the back button. Next you find a hardware store with a blog section comparing the top three best selling lawn mowers they have and you end up reading the whole thing and clicking through to their sales catalogue. Both of those interactions tell the search engine something – even though the first result looks good from a structural point of view (i.e., it uses lawn mower related keywords a lot) someone looking for lawn mower advice did not find it useful and left the site quickly in favour of another, where you stayed for a long time and explored the broader site. This will help the second result move towards the top and the first move further down the list. Now imagine how often this has to happen for search engines to be able to take notice – starting to see why it takes time? The benefit of the slow burn, though, is that it burns hotter for longer once it gets going. Yes, SEO needs maintenance (more on that next) but a page that gets to the top spot in the results is unlikely to crash down from that spot quickly – unlike ads which, obviously, stop being effective the moment your campaign ends. In fact, the longer a page is live, the more search engines can trust that it’s a well established website and therefore can be trusted. SEO can seem expensive because: it requires ongoing maintenanceNot in the same way ads need to be constantly funded in order to be of any use at all, but SEO needs to be an ongoing project. Whether this means new pages, updating old pages with new information, creation of blog posts, or staying on top of algorithm changes – it’s all maintenance. The act of maintenance tells the search engines that the page in question is up to date – there’s not a lot of use in having the top spot in the search results be “top ten digital cameras to buy this Christmas” blog that was published in 1997. On the flip side, that same article first published in 1997 and updated every 6 months with good SEO and taking into account the latest releases is unlikely to be overtaken by a quickly put together listicle. SEO can seem expensive because: it takes expertise to get rightThere is a whole world of skills to learn in order to be really good at SEO, there’s the technical side which can include both on and off page metrics, site health and speed, structure strategy, writing skills and sometimes even coding skills. Then there’s the interactive side of it, who is linking to you and are they trustworthy, how does your page look and feel to viewers, and how often do the same people return to your site. Ever read a blog post that sounds just a little bit unhinged? After the seventeenth ‘best X you can buy’ you’re looking at your screen like it’s yelling at you and you don’t even want to buy the thing you went there looking for anymore – that’s keyword stuffing and it’s not good for your website. …but what counts as keyword stuffing? Fifteen instances? Six? A hundred mentions? Well, it depends on a few things but we can pretty much guarantee a hundred is too many times. Finding that balance, though, is a matter of learning, trial and error, and practice. There are tools out there to help you optimize, but they too are fallible because they use strict rules that don’t always apply – but us humans know when to push those guidelines and when not to. For example, remember that over the top example of keyword stuffing, the 100 instances? That might fly if your page is a 9,000 word travelogue through every hot dog stand in New York. Maybe. The expertise that makes a great SEO consultant isn’t cheap because it cost them years and often a lot of money to get that knowledge. In the same way that you pay more for a Creative Director Stylist to cut your hair at the salon than you would for the fresh-faced apprentice, you can be more confident in the skills of a well established SEO consultant than someone who is just learning. SEO can seem expensive because: we’re used to ‘the internet’ being freeIt sounds silly, but we really are so accustomed to the internet and digital aspects of life being free. We spend hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on a smart phone. A hundred dollars on a protective case, insurance, and screen protectors. People even used to pay for exclusive ringtones and funny voicemail messages. But pay $1.99 for an app? Too expensive. Despite the hours we know go into creating, coding, and running a good mobile game, we want it for free – and no ads either please! Do SEO services cost a lot, really?Is SEO expensive? Well, ‘expensive’ means different things to different people. For a one person blog not looking to bring in more than $100 a month in ad revenue, then a $250 a month package is too expensive. For a large enterprise looking to move from $20,000 a month to $50,000 a month in revenue, spending $5,000 a month doesn’t seem expensive at all. Additionally, when taking into account how much SEO services cost and comparing that to the long term positive effect it has on your digital footprint is SEO expensive? Well, no. Not in comparison to other marketing services for the same results – reliably bringing in potential clients to your page every month through ads is a costly and shallow tactic. Stop paying, they stop coming. SEO on the other hand? Organic search traffic is king. Ask yourself - is a SEO company expensive, or does it just feel that way? GET IN TOUCH ### Should I hire someone to do my SEO? Should I hire someone to do my SEO, or go it alone?Running a business, whether it’s your own small business or coming on board to a larger company and finding yourself in charge of the decision of whether to hire a SEO company or learn the skill yourself can be confronting. We talk to a lot of business owners who are tossing up between these choices, and so we have decided to put together this quick guide to approaching the decision with the age old staple – a pro/con list. It might seem a little simplistic at first, but being able to break down a troubling question into easily comparable categories is one of the best ways you can approach solving the problem. Doing SEO yourself instead of hiring someone: Pro ListConsidering the Do It Yourself SEO route is a path most new business owners go down, so let’s summarize the pros of learning SEO yourself. You learn a new skill:This may or may not be a pro for you personally but in our experience, good business owners tend to be the sort of people who enjoy adding new skills to their toolkit. More often than not, they’re always learning something new – whether it’s a hard skill like procurement or a new piece of software, or an interpersonal skillset in management or conflict resolution. Especially when they are a sole trader or founder, they either need to do most things themselves because they do not employ staff or they’re just used to it because they’ve been doing it for so long. You have control:By learning and implementing your hard earned SEO skillset you get to dictate exactly what gets implemented and when. This kind of close monitoring suits many business owners as they recognize that everything their brand puts out is a reflection of themselves and they – understandably – want it to be the best possible content. When you take control of your own SEO plan, you put yourself firmly in the drivers seat and can push the project in whatever direction you choose – from your social media content to blogs, web site copy to advertising by lines. No or low upfront cost:With as many free SEO resources and tools on offer thanks to the vast world wide web, there is a free path to SEO understanding available to all. This does, of course, require the learner to navigate the good and bad sources, plan their learning journey, and actually undertake all the free trainings they sign up for – but it is possible to learn SEO for free. The ‘low cost’ option refers to the myriad of courses on offer from various creators, companies, and training centres. Finding the right one for you can be a chore in itself, you will want to make sure that it is trustworthy, up to date, and relevant to your category of business. Doing SEO yourself instead of hiring someone: Con ListThe learning curve: There is a lot of information out there – and not all of it is good or current. Many free resources are so out of date that the practices they describe are now considered to be ‘black hat’. Lingo Uncovered: Black Hat SEO refers to those practices which might work in the short term but ultimately count against you and includes behaviours such as unethical manipulation of accounts or attacks on competitors’ websites instead of improving your own. The learning curve is still steep, even if you do find a reliable and trustworthy source of truth. The idea that SEO is a single skill is misleading, caused by the human tendency to want to simplify – even we’re guilty of referring to the concept of ‘learning SEO’ the way someone might refer to ‘learning to juggle’! SEO requires copy writing, coding, graphic design, web design, UX/UI development, research, technical skill, marketing copy, PPC development, software specific skills – and more. You have to make every single decision:While this can seem like a major pro for Type A personalities, that attitude often fades when they have to pull themselves away from budget tracking, product design, or contract negotiations to spend an hour deciding how to best write a 200 word paragraph or writing a week’s worth of useful social media copy. It isn’t that the social media copy or paragraph decisions aren’t important, because they can be make or break for a business, but when you’re also responsible for every other aspect of the business it’s hard to give them the time and consideration they need in order to be the most effective. Your time is money:Think about how much you pay yourself, or the amount you would be happy to accept working for someone else, then look at the several hours a week that you need to be spending learning, practicing, implementing your newly acquired SEO skills, and staying on top of the SEO industry. The SEO landscape can change quickly thanks to algorithm changes, core search metrics being altered to mitigate grey and black hat SEO tactics the search engines feel are skewing the usefulness of search results, and legal or legislative change. For example, when using lists of keywords in the ‘alt text’ for images went from being mildly frowned upon by people in the sector to being actively targeted by the search engines as that ‘alt text’ is actually there for screen readers to assist people with access needs, or when GDPR came in seemingly overnight and applied to anyone with European site visitors. Compare your “time spend cost” to how much you might spend on a SEO service – you might just be surprised how much more efficient hiring out can be, especially when you account for the progress you can be making elsewhere in your business while an expert is doing your SEO for you. Hiring an SEO Consultant: Pro ListYou can rely on their expertise:There are things you can learn yourself to save a bit of time or money – giving yourself a facial, checking your own engine oil, or hanging a door to close off that alcove into a closet. However, you’re probably not going to try your own chemical peel, rebuild your gearbox from scratch, or change the structural foundation of your house. Relying on the expertise of a SEO service means you can be sure they’re doing the right thing from the ground up, you can sleep easy knowing that your digital house isn’t going to fall down around you. They take the lead and tailor it to you:A good SEO company will have their tried and true approaches, of course, but they will also take your needs, preferences, and individual personality into consideration. Any SEO company that tells you that you *have* to go live on social media and answer stranger’s questions, participate in trends regardless of your industry, or write blogs that don’t focus on your key messaging isn’t listening to you. Remember – your SEO company is there to help your business succeed, not force a cookie cutter plan on to you. Reporting and progress tracking, explained: With the professional tools they have access to, your SEO company can provide very detailed reports on what is and what is not working for your online presence. These metrics are important and help you decide where to go in the future, what direction you want to take, and monitor your ROI. Hiring an SEO Consultant: Con ListYou need to find the right one: Finding the right ‘someone to do my SEO’ is paramount – the right someone will be a massive advantage in the competitive digital world we live in, while the wrong one can seriously harm your changes at growth. Finding a good SEO company to do SEO for your business does take a little effort – but it’s worth it when the results start rolling in. Check out our “How Do I Know My SEO Company is Good?” for tips on choosing the right SEO company You need to communicate your needs: Unless you want to completely hand over the reigns to your SEO consultant, you will still need to make time to talk to them and read the reports they send about the performance of your site. This ongoing input requirement from you can be lessened by setting up a solid plan early in the relationship and checking in with them semi-regularly to make sure you’re happy with the output. You can also set it up so that you approve anything before it goes live – whether this is only for the first month or two while you get to know each other or continues for the life of the contract is up to you. You need to decide on an acceptable ROI: If your goals are smaller, growth isn’t a focus, or you’re not financially in a position to spend on outside help then your ROI rate will be different from a larger, more ambitious, or positive cash flow business. What is considered ‘expensive’ changes from business to business. For example, a company making $50,000 in revenue a month may not think twice about a $5,000 monthly SEO cost, but if you’re closer to the $5,000 of revenue a month then your acceptable monthly SEO investment isn’t likely to be 5k. Weighing Up The OptionsDeciding on your personal answer to the question “should I hire someone to do my SEO” is just that – personal. Here at Net Branding we are proud of our integrity and are always striving to be transparent when it comes to our services, pricing, and company values – so we’re not going to tell you that no matter your situation you should hire an SEO consultant to do your SEO for you. Every situation is unique and we respect that.

GET IN TOUCH ### How long does SEO take to work for a business? Setting Expectations: How long does SEO take to work for a business?We refer to SEO as a long term investment because it is exactly that - you can’t go to the gym once every six months and expect to qualify for the Olympics, just like you can’t think about SEO occasionally and expect to rank #1 in search results. It might sound a little bit like ‘tough love’ but understanding the compound nature of high quality SEO is vital to the pursuit of progress. Let’s walk through the phases of SEO, just remember that this isn’t a perfect timeline (or a quote!) and some niches are far more difficult to break into than others. For example, a B2C physical product manufacturer selling a niche item like high quality reproduction clothes for a specific type of doll will be able to target their most productive keywords with relative ease – there might be ten people world wide selling that exact product, the trick for them would be to out rank the non-niche results from big box stores selling generic doll clothes. Comparatively, a mechanic in a big city would need to put in a lot more time and effort into their SEO in order to compete with the 157 other mechanics all vying for the same customers in the same 1,000 km2. When you partner with an SEO professional, you’re not just getting the actual content you need in order to succeed – you’re also getting the support, results tracking, and dynamic repositioning that can only come with years of experience in the field. The Initial Phase, Foundations: 1-2 Months Setting the foundation for your website is vitally important, in this phase your website structure will be set up in such a way that simply shouts to search engines “Here Is An Expert, Look At All The Knowledge They Have, Trust Them!”. In addition to structure changes, the most important pages of your site will be created, the ones that build the bank of trust you need to convince not just search engine’s that you know your stuff and are trustworthy – but your potential customers too. This can include your services, team structure and their qualifications, as well as your mission statement. Pro Tip: a business mission statement isn’t just for charities and major corporations; even if you’re a one person team “Providing Easy XYZ Solutions to New Zealanders at Affordable Prices”, a statement like that can build customer relationship before you’ve even spoken to them. It also lets search engines know that A) you’re in the XYZ business, B) you’re in New Zealand, and C) you have affordable prices. What do you think the most common style of search request is when looking for services? ‘Affordable plumbing/carpentry/car wash/accounting in Auckland/Christchurch/Hamilton’. Unless you’re in one of those very underserved niches (like the specialty doll’s clothes mentioned above) there is unlikely to be a large uptick in traffic and ranking movement in this phase. This is because the search engines crawling sites take time and a lot of their decisions are based on searcher behaviour – aka they have to see if people like what you’re putting out! Much of the content created in this phase is ‘supportive’, it underpins your authority and lets both searchers and search engines know that you know your stuff and you’re here to stay. The Intermediate Phase, Authority: 2 – 3 MonthsThis is the phase where we start to really ramp up the building of those eye catching and regularly published pages and blogs. Where you have established the cornerstone pages well, these posts and page updates add depth to your perceived expertise. For example, you’re not just a roof cleaning and maintenance service provider, you know all about the different materials and methods of roofing that effect the maintenance it will need, you know the concerns of your potential clients and have answers for them, your history and experience in the business, etc. It might seem counter intuitive to give away knowledge for free, but that perception of value and knowledge given freely is hugely important in the process of proving your trustworthiness. Did you ever see those sales pages that made big promises, had embedded screenshots of fifty wildly complimentary five star reviews, a flashing red ‘buy now or miss out’ countdown timer with a suspiciously short time on it – and no solid information? These sales pages were generally for miracle products or courses promising outlandish results. These are great examples of insecure businesses afraid of telling people too much in case they don’t complete checkout. We want to reassure you that telling people the best ways to minimize roof damage will absolutely not dissuade them from hiring a roof maintenance service but it will help them to see you as a trustworthy ally in keeping their roof healthy. In other words, they may not need you as often but they will come back to you every year – and that’s what SEO is all about too, sustainable and reliable results. The Results Phase: 3 – 6 Months In months three to six you will begin to see the real results from your SEO endeavours. Three months is what we would consider to be the minimum for a reliable read on strategy, especially with new companies with completely new websites. This is because when you begin publishing as a new site there’s always going to be variation in traffic early on simply due to the face that it is new. After three months, daily and weekly fluctuations can be averaged out and you can really look at the trends that are emerging. At this time, you might decide that a slightly different approach is needed or that you simply want to ramp up your efforts. While posting more is rarely a bad idea, we would caution against sacrificing quality for quantity. After all, one of the biggest indicators to the search engines that you’re a good source is that people click through and stay on your site. If you start publishing twice daily, but the content is spun/generated/low quality then searchers (your customers) are likely to roll their eyes, hit back, and choose a result that gives them the information they’re looking for in a reliable and trustworthy way. Finding balance between frequency and depth is something all content managers deal with, and you will find it too. The Maintenance and Fuelling Phase – 6 Months and Beyond Beyond six months is when we turn to the concept of maintenance and fuelling. The foundation of your site is built but you still need to be looking after it – checking that your old content is still correct, relevant, and in line with current language and slang. Pro tip: slang is a great way to connect with people and get your content seen with current and relevant keywords but it’s a double edged sword. If you use slang on your website you need to ensure that you’re updating it as you go, nothing ages a piece of content than an out of date reference. With your foundations solidly built and your knowledge base expanding your focus can be on creating more specialized information and value pieces for your customers. At this point you’ll have enough result-based data to be able to track real time changes, improvements in your rankings, and changes in levels of traffic. Remember, though, that even though there is enough data to track trends – they are still lagged. There are ways to help your SEO efforts take effect sooner but nothing can rush the search engines, even the experts are at the whims of the algorithms! So, how long should I expect it to take for my SEO to work for my business?As with most things, it depends on your unique circumstances and the level of effort you and your team are prepared to put in. As we’ve talked about above, those with narrower niches and less saturated industries will see results sooner with a comparatively lower input of effort while those in tougher industries will need to put in a bit more effort. The first three months will be the building phase for all new sites, so don’t be discouraged. If you’re looking to step up your game and get your SEO working harder for you then we’re here to work with you and achieve your goals. GET IN TOUCH ### How do I know that my SEO and SEO company is good? Answering the Question: how can I tell if my SEO and SEO company are good?When you make an investment, you should always know how to measure its success or stagnation, and SEO isn’t different to any other investment in your business. With how long we’ve been in the digital marketing space we know how important it is for our clients to know that what we’re doing for them is not only in their best interests but also working in trackable and tangible ways. While a good SEO company and good SEO go hand in hand, we’re going to split them up here so you can see how they work together to create a successful digital marketing plan. How to tell if your SEO company is good: While we are both proud of, and passionate, about our sector we are well aware that not every player in the industry plays by the same rules we do and it’s important to know what the other side looks like when you’re considering an SEO company for your business. Quick Jargon Busting: Black Hat SEO is a term used to describe tactics that may or may not work in the short term and tears down other websites instead of improving their own. The phrase is borrowed from the concept of “black hat hackers” who hack computer systems for gain, which in turn was taken from old Western movies where the ‘bad guys’ would wear black hats while the hero and his cronies would wear lighter colours. There are a few things you should be looking out for, both positive and negative, that will help you assess your SEO options. Red Flags to Look Out for in an SEO Company: 1. Rapid results: we all know by now that ‘win quick with no effort at all’ offers are too good to be true. Anyone offering you overnight SEO results can’t be following industry best practices because the process simply takes time. 2. They promise you everything: many will tell you SEO will take your small, local and hand made business to rival multi-billion dollar chains. It’s important that your SEO consultant tells you the truth about your goals, because SEO can be one of your best asset on the road to success but it’s not magic. 3. They don’t discuss their methods: vague references to link building and follower counts should alert you to the potential black hat tactics they might be planning on using. Don’t mistake this for legitimate focus on link building and social following which are both important parts of you digital marketing strategy, but these should be organic with a steady growth rate just like your search engine rankings. Green Flags to Look for in an SEO Company: 1. They’re open and transparent: being happy to discuss the process they prefer is a huge green flag because they’re secure in their skill instead of their method. Just like the difference between ‘following the recipe’ and ‘being able to cook’ - the basics of SEO are simple but it’s the execution that matters. 2. They’re clear about timelines and expectations: good things take time, and SEO is one of the best things you can do for your business. Having good lines of communication with your consultant is important. You don’t need to be in constant contact – they’re here to help you after all – but knowing that you can call and ask questions (and get an honest answer) is vital. 3. They provide trackable metric reports: there’s a big difference between telling you things are going well and showing you. You should be able to see where your reach has improved, and we’ll go through some ways you should be looking at this later in the post. What a good SEO company focusses on:1. Quality content: the creation of content that supports the reputation of your brand and builds up the trust between you and your customer is vital to good SEO. By focusing on the quality of your content and publishing it regularly you and your SEO team are working together to build your reputation as a trustworthy source of value, expertise, and reliability. 2. Your long term success: instant results might be satisfying in some ways but the real reward is in reaping the benefit of an action you took months or years ago. A good SEO consultant has your long term interests at heart and will work hard along side of you to build a bank of quality SEO that brings visitors in for years to come (or even indefinitely with good maintenance!). 3. Your unique position in your sector: an SEO consultant who is on your side isn’t going to pressure you into taking digital marketing action that goes against your core values or your brand voice. In other words, just because we live in a social media saturated world you don’t have to learn trending dances and put your face out in the world lip syncing. Some clients would both love and benefit from that kind of social media plan, but not every business is suited to light hearted social posts. What a good SEO company shouldn’t push:1. Numbers at all costs: promising things like a hundred followers a day, a minimum number of likes per post, or other shallow metrics should be a large red flag for you because the only way you can guarantee things like that is to buy them and that is bad news for your reputation and long term results. The former because if it’s discovered you’ve been buying followers, and the latter because a) purchased followers don’t organically interact with your posts and nothing looks worse than a 100k account never getting more than 10 likes, and b) they usually disappear when the credit card is disconnected. (Pssst - It also explicitly breaks many platforms terms of service and you risk losing your accounts.) 2. Targeting other websites: if a part of their strategy is to attack your competitors standing in the digital landscape then you should immediately disengage. Being better than other websites is the goal, not using underhanded tactics to get search engines to distrust your competitors. Not least because it’s unethical behaviour, but because it puts your online reputation at risk and search engines are cluing in more and more to these tactics and they’re becoming less effective – even in the short term. 3. Quantity over quality: recommendations to post spun, generated, or other low quality short content on a website to ‘trick’ search engines into thinking you’re very active is a bad plan for many reasons. When you lower your standards in one aspect of your business, your customers will assume you’re happy to lower standards in other areas too – like your quality of service, accuracy of quotes, and reliability. How to tell if your SEO is goodNow we’re going to look through the metrics that can help you decide if your SEO is good and working for you, or needs more attention. There’s not a hardline rule about what is good and what is bad, but all things are relative and progress is progress - remember that as you move through your SEO journey. Some Measurable SEO Metrics To Watch:These metrics are the more measurable of the lot and can be measured for trends. Traffic from Organic Search This number reflects the number of people who have searched for, found, and clicked on your link in a search engine like Google or Bing. This is the ultimate metric – it means you’re being seen by people and they’re clicking through to your page, but I isn’t the be all and end all. Impressions This tells you the number of people who have seen your results, but not necessarily clicked on your link. This metric is also used for ads and posts. Numbers of ranking pages How many of your pages rank well determines how many clicks and visits you get and therein lies the value of regularly posting high quality and optimised content. Backlink numbers Backlinks are how we refer to the behaviour of linking between websites, these are important to algorithms because it shows that reliable and trustworthy websites trust your website. Referrals from other websites The number of clicks from links housed on other sites.

Brand Mentions Interactions with large and verified brand accounts which can lend your account, website, and footprint legitimacy. Conversion Tracking The rate of people who go to your site and actually end up as paying customers, signed up to memberships, or newsletters.

There’s a lot that goes into considering if an SEO Freelancer is the way to go – let’s break them down.In our current gig economy and the freelance world is expanding rapidly, it’s a common question amongst business owners to wonder about how much they should rely on freelancers and SEO is no different. Are there good SEO freelancers? Yes, of course, there are many highly skilled and reliable SEO freelancers. Are there bad SEO freelancers? Unfortunately, yes. Especially after 2019 and the extended time at home that many endured, hobbies and at home crafts exploded in popularity and a great many of those home made soaps, candles, and resin art have been ubiquitous in craft markets and online makerspaces since to various levels of success. Many who did not find a creative outlet turned to marketable skills they could offer from home – and some of those have joined the ranks of the highly skilled and reliable SEO freelancers mentioned above, but many others have not. That’s where the risk comes in with choosing a freelancer to take on your SEO and digital marketing plan. The Pros of Choosing an SEO Freelancer:The Cost: Many freelancers, especially when they are first starting out, set their prices to be ‘competitive’ rather than at market value. This is often done in order to entice new clients into giving them a chance. This does mean that by taking a chance on a newer freelancer, you might just get yourself a bargain on the price. The One-On-One Relationship: Because of the nature of freelance work, by hiring one you guarantee yourself a one on one professional relationship with the person you’re contracting. This can be a great bonus, especially for business owners who want to communicate directly with the person carrying out their digital marketing plan. The Cons of Choosing an SEO Freelancer:The Cost: (Yes, this is both a pro and a con) Freelancers can often be more expensive to hire than a comparable established company. The reasons for this are many and several are legitimate. It can also be a matter of demand, they have more clients than is practicable for a fulltime load so raise their prices to maximise their margins and lower requests for quotes. Secondly, it can be a matter of running costs. As a business owner, you know that you have to account for the daily running cost of your business and freelancers are no different. When you hire an SEO company to do your SEO for you, those running costs are spread out over every contract and client they have and due to the nature of a larger company ends up being a smaller cost to you. Whereas a freelancer can only take on one person’s worth of work and therefore the cost is more concentrated. The Trust and Legitimacy: It’s hard to trust people with business matters – especially on the internet! With the world wide web filled with no end of dodgy websites, phishing emails, and too good to be true offers, it takes an awful lot to trust a stranger with your business website. Beyond that, many companies and freelancers alike work directly on your site – meaning accesses and passwords need to be shared. That’s a level of trust higher than most IRL friendships can boast! Whenever you engage a third party to complete a service for your business, it’s vital that you can be sure of their legitimacy. Unfortunately for freelancers, it’s simply much easier to verify the legitimacy of companies than it is individuals. The Vulnerability: With registered companies located within your own country there are vast and expansive consumer protections, advertising standards, and legally binding conditions that have to be met by companies. When you go outside of those country borders it is much harder to have those laws enforced. Working with international companies is safer for you, but when you’re directly contracting a third party it becomes more complicated and less likely that anyone will be able to enforce the relevant laws and protections – if they even apply. What are the risks of hiring an SEO Freelancer?Unknown historyWhen hiring someone for a specific task, your first concern is generally their aptitude in that specific task – but knowing their history is just as important. There’s a big difference between hiring someone with the technical skill certificate and someone with a long history of experience and those technical skills. Unknown legitimacyReviews and testimonials are, generally, all you have to go on when hiring a freelancer and while it’s not a nice position to be in you do have to keep the question of ‘are these real?’ in your mind. When an established company works with a brand they have proof they can bring to the table, but finding the reliable receipts from a freelancer can be more difficult. Unknown individual ethical considerationsWhen you hire someone, how do you know that their ethical standards match your own? Can you trust them not to use black hat tactics to gain an initial wave of visitors only for it to fall away and damage your site’s reputation? Whether this is through buying a following, bot comments and likes, or using your site as a part of a private backlink network (embedding links to other websites at the code level of your website to try and trick the search engines) they all have a huge potential risk of getting your site deindexed and affecting your ongoing ability to reach your customers. Unknown identityCan you meet your freelancer face to face? Even if this on line, are they willing to sit down with you and have a face to face conversation with you? We understand that the world is a big place with lots of time zones, but working with someone as closely as you will be with your SEO consultant requires at least the willingness for a face to face meeting – otherwise how can you know who you’re working with? Potential for scamsWorking outside of a true contract – such as a verbal or email agreement – is fraught with risks. Tied in to their overall legitimacy - what security do you have that after you pay them that they won’t disappear on you? Scams can look like this or they can be more insidious like the inclusion of malicious links that link your customers to their affiliate links – or worse. Potential for identity theft/fraud Think about the sheer amount of information that lives on your site – emails, usernames, physical or home addresses, and in some cases even credit card information. When you give someone access to your site, you’re also giving them access to all of that information and as we’ve found out from the recent global uptick in data breaches – every piece of identity information is worth its weight in gold. Potential for fallout from a bad professional exchange This is definitely a worst case scenario but sadly it’s not unheard of. When your professional relationship goes south and a contractor has full access to your site and/or emails – there really is no limit as to what they can do in retribution. This could be as simple as changing your passwords and not telling you, or demanding a payment in order to change them back. It could be as insidious as selling access to the accounts to scammers, or flooding your feeds with distasteful or offensive content. Is it illegal? Mostly, yes. If they’re located overseas, are you likely to be able to press charges or get compensation? Unlikely. Not to mention that compensation and a guilty verdict isn’t going to undo the damage! We’ve had to help several Kiwi business owners regain access to their accounts and it’s something we wouldn’t wish on anybody. So - is a SEO Freelancer the way to go?We can’t tell you which way to go, but we do highly recommend for you to be running a risk analysis alongside the potential for ROI and cost savings when trying to choose between an SEO freelancer and an established SEO company. While we definitely aren’t suggesting that there are no good SEO freelancers out there, far from it, we do know how hard it can be to find one that you can really trust with the public facing image and most effective digital marketing approach for your business.

What Is Keyword Research?Keyword research is a process of finding words, queries, and phrases that users are searching for. If there is a search on a search term, this is referred to as a keyword having volume. Research involves connecting the relevance of keywords to a website. Its relevance to individual pages so that searchers find the best page to answer their query, known as search intent. Keyword research also involves categorizing search queries into the different stages of a user journey and different categories of search, such as transactional, navigational, and informational. To determine if ranking highly and getting visitors is worth the effort, keyword research should be carefully considered. Not all traffic holds the same value. Keyword research holds great importance, but why?Keyword research is essential for finding the best keywords to target and gaining valuable insight into the queries your target audience is searching on Google. The insight that you can gain from these actual search terms can inform both your content strategy and your larger marketing strategy. When conducting research online, people use keywords to find solutions. If your content successfully gets in front of our audience as they conduct searches, you have the potential to gain more traffic. Therefore, it is important to target those searches. In the inbound methodology, we should create content around what people want to discover, rather than what we want to tell them. Our audience is coming to us, in other words. Traffic growth is essential for the success of any business.Identifying the best-fitting keywords for the content you publish will help you rank higher in search engine results, attracting more traffic to your website. Taking a closer look at keyword analysis for SEO reveals its significance in the digital landscape. Keyword research plays a vital role in finding the most suitable keywords to target, allowing businesses to gain valuable insights into what their target audience is searching for on platforms like Google.

In today's online world, people rely on keywords to find solutions to their queries. If your content successfully appears in front of your target audience as they conduct searches, you have the potential to attract more traffic to your website. This highlights the importance of targeting specific keywords that are relevant to your business or industry. Inbound search - one Strategy for Website Traffic.The inbound methodology suggests creating content around what people want to discover rather than solely focusing on what we want to tell them. By aligning our content with the interests and needs of our audience, we increase the likelihood of attracting organic traffic and engaging with potential customers effectively. Growth in website traffic is an essential element for the success of any business. When you identify the best-fitting keywords for the content you publish, you increase your chances of ranking higher in search engine results. As a result, you'll attract more visitors to your website, which can potentially translate into increased conversions and revenue. Keyword analysis goes beyond simply identifying popular keywords; it involves understanding user intent, optimizing content, and keeping up with emerging trends. Utilizing tools such as keyword explorers and competitor analysis can provide extensive insights into how to effectively use keyword research to drive targeted traffic. Long-tail keywords, which consist of three or more words, can be especially valuable for niche markets and capturing highly specific searches. It's worth noting that while commercial intent keywords may appear enticing due to their potential for driving sales, incorporating informational keywords into your strategy is equally important. By providing valuable information and addressing common pain points within your content, you establish credibility and build trust with your audience. Backlinks are important strategic factors.Moreover, backlinks play a significant role in search engine optimisation (SEO). By understanding the keywords and content that your competitors are using, you can gain valuable insights into their strategies and identify areas where you can improve. This allows you to stay ahead of the competition and ensure that your content is optimized for maximum visibility. One important aspect of keyword analysis is understanding user intent. you also need to consider what users are looking for when they type in those keywords. By understanding their intentions, you can tailor your content to provide the information or solution they are seeking. This will not only help drive targeted traffic to your website but also increase the chances of converting those visitors into customers. Keyword research tools such as keyword explorers and competitor analysis tools can be immensely helpful in this process. These tools provide extensive data on keyword performance, search volume, and competition levels.Another aspect to consider is the value of long-tail keywords. While popular short keywords may seem appealing, targeting highly specific searches through long-tail keywords can often yield better results. For example, instead of targeting a broad term like "shoes," you could focus on a more specific phrase like "affordable running shoes for women." This would not only attract users who are specifically interested in buying affordable running shoes for women but also reduce competition from larger companies that might target more generic terms. Additionally, it's important to strike a balance between commercial intent keywords and informational keywords. While commercial intent keywords have the potential to drive sales directly, incorporating informational keywords into your strategy helps build credibility and trust with your audience. By providing valuable information and addressing common pain points within your content, you establish yourself as an authority in your field and develop a loyal following. Backlinks also play a crucial role in SEO. By understanding the keywords and content that your competitors are using, you can identify opportunities to acquire high-quality backlinks. Backlinks from reputable and relevant websites not only improve your search engine rankings but also drive targeted traffic to your site. Success goes beyond the basics of popular keywordsIn conclusion, keyword analysis for SEO goes beyond simply identifying popular keywords. It involves understanding user intent, optimizing content, and staying up-to-date with emerging trends. By utilizing tools such as keyword explorers and competitor analysis, you can gain valuable insights into how to effectively use keyword research to drive targeted traffic and increase conversions. Additionally, considering long-tail keywords, incorporating informational keywords, and leveraging backlinks are all important strategies to ensure success in the ever-evolving world of SEO. Performing keyword research is essential for effective SEO.Keyword research is an extension of understanding your audience by first considering their needs and then the phrases, keywords, or queries they use to find solutions. Keyword research is crucial for SEO as it can reveal opportunities by understanding what your audience is searching for. Also, keyword analysis for SEO can assist you in determining where you can anticipate a return on investment to validate your efforts. Consider these three approaches to understand their absolute significance. User Experience: Good keyword research is the foundation of connecting a business with its potential customers and audience. The best answer to a Search Query: The predominant focus of Google is to connect a user with the best answer to their query and the best website page so that a user is satisfied. Understanding this underlines SEO. Relevant Information to a Searcher: An information retrieval system that revolves around user queries to find relevant information or answers is called a search engine. Two key elements to consider when looking at analysing your keywords.What is Monthly Keyword Search Volume?Monthly Search Volume (MSV) is a predominant measure of keyword value. As a starting point to consider if anyone is searching for that keyword, it's a useful metric. But not in isolation or as the only measure of value. At the top of the funnel, high-volume keywords typically generate 'browsing' traffic. For brand awareness, they are useful but not for direct conversion. Just because a keyword has a high MSV doesn’t necessarily mean it is the right keyword for you to rank on. Relevancy for the searcherWhen Google determines which pages to display in search results, the algorithm takes into account the pages that users are clicking on for that specific query. if a query like PLUMBER is entered, Google needs to determine whether the user wants information about what a PLUMBER is. By looking at a search result page, you can gain a good understanding of user intent based on the other results. It's important to dig deep when it comes to keyword analysis for SEO, All keywords you want to consider should be in your research process. Keyword relevance and user intent are essentially the same concepts. Knowing what the user truly means when they search is crucial. This is more ambiguous for head keywords and less ambiguous for long-tail queries. User Intent - The Best Search ResultsUser intent refers to the intention of their search - what type of result they want to see when they search for a query. User intent is keyword research is a crucial factor in the ranking process. User intent is important in two ways. Firstly, your primary goal in creating content and pages on a website is to provide users with the information they want to know. If a user searching for PLUMBING wants a solution for a dripping tap to DIY, they will not click on your link, even if you have the best page in the world about a Local Plumbing Service. Secondly, when serving results pages, Google takes into account relevance (as mentioned earlier, their goal is to provide the best result for a query). The better your page aligns with user intent, the higher its potential ranking might be. FREE Keyword Research Tools.Google Keyword Planner - It's Free to Use.If you're looking for a reliable tool to assist you with your keyword analysis for SEO research, Google Keyword Planner is definitely worth considering.

Competitive Keywords for most websites, indicated by a KD% .Even if your site is somewhat established, cracking the first page would still require a significant amount of resources and time. (Source: www.semrush.com) KD% is simply an estimate of the competitiveness of a keyword. Certain keywords may be easier or harder to rank for than what the KD% indicates. Should keyword difficulty be the first thing to look at?Considering we're trying to choose keywords for SEO, it's crucial that you can actually rank for a given term. In other words, the search volume and buyer composition of a keyword are irrelevant. If the keyword is too competitive for you to have a chance to rank for, it’s likely not worth targeting. An estimate of how competitive a keyword is to rank (largely based on the competition of the first page of Google) can be shown by most keyword research tools. Discovering keywords is an important aspect.You likely have a few keywords in mind that you would like to rank for. Start your research with these great seed keywords, which will be things like your products, services, or other topics your website addresses. Enter those keywords into a keyword research tool e.g. Keyword Planner or Uber Suggest to discover the average monthly search volume and similar keywords. During the discovery phase, you will delve deeper into search volume. However, it can assist you in identifying the most popular variations of your keywords among searchers. Once you enter your seed keywords into a keyword research tool, you will start uncovering additional keywords, common questions, and content topics that you may have overlooked. Let's Put it Another WayLike a compass for your SEO campaigns, keywords guide you in the right direction and indicate your progress. Researching keywords helps you better understand your target audience, which is a bonus. Because keyword research provides insight into what customers are searching for, it also reveals the exact words and phrases they use. While Google continues to keep us on our toes with the constant roll-out of algorithm updates, one thing that has remained consistent for inbound marketers is the importance of keyword research for optimizing their websites for search.

Human beings are social creatures and have relied on the strength and connection of their social groups in their workplaces, neighborhoods, or places of worship for a sense of fulfillment and community. In these modern times, social media has become the major platform of interaction, as many interpret the level of engagement with their posts as proof of validation. Unfortunately, social media seems to be having the exact opposite effect on its users, especially the youth, as medical practitioners have presented greater evidence of anxiety and depression within their patient communities, alongside the modern diagnosis of digital anxiety and digital addiction. It is perhaps for this reason that Lush recently released an article to stop social media until it is safer. Cathy Mellett, the owner of Net Branding, an Auckland-based digital marketing agency, is in support of Lush’s stance and is pushing this vision with the formation of her charity. With over three decades of experience in the IT industry, Cathy Mellett is a pioneer in the digital space, understanding the value of social media long before several individuals and companies began to maximize the opportunity. Through her partnership with major corporations, start-ups, existing businesses, and charities to help in the formation of their businesses and digital strategies, she honed her skills and was able to start a forward-thinking digital agency, Net Branding, that walks hand-in-hand with her clients to deliver an experienced-based approach to their digital needs, leading online endeavors through facts and figures and promoting visibility improvements and ranking through its stellar SEO services. Mellett’s keen eye for identifying problems and her unique ability to challenge them head-on have spurred her to address the dangerous problems of youth depression, anxiety, stress, and suicide numbers triggered by social media with the launch of her New Zealand charitable trust, I’m Enough. This charity is focused on digital resistance, stress relief, acceptance, and personal validation tips for greater success in the digital era. Although children may understand the digital world more than their parents, Mellett believes that parents possess sufficient vital life skills and experiences to encourage this conversation. Speaking on the launch of I’m Enough, founder Cathy Mellett, had this to say: “My team and I sat to determine the name of this New Zealand registered charity and came up with I'm Enough as we believe this is the exact message we want to convey. The movie-like pictures of perfection on a friend’s feed are not an actual reflection of reality. My premise is that the digital world can be good or bad, and while LUSH has taken a stand, we as Net Branding, have been working hard to start a different conversation.” Through the launch of its charity, I’m Enough, Net Branding proves that it is a digital marketing agency that truly cares and wants to make a difference by putting its focus where its concern lies.

Asking yourself ‘Is paying an SEO company worth it?’ let’s talk about it!We get asked this all the time, people are unsure of the real tangible benefits of getting someone like a third party in for their SEO and to work it out for them. In our fast paced digital world, businesses of all sizes and focuses want to enhance their online presence and attract potential customers with efficiency. This is where Search Engine Optimization (SEO) comes into the picture, offering a strategic approach to optimize websites for better visibility and higher rankings on search engine results pages. However, despite the proven importance of and the significant focus on SEO by leading marketing experts, a prevailing notion persists that SEO services are overpriced and are charging you for things you can do yourself. The purpose of this blog post is to examine all sides of hiring an SEO company and list out the benefits and considerations of that decision, as well as to look at the alternative DIY options. By exploring these aspects, businesses can make informed decisions about whether investing in professional SEO services aligns with their objectives and resources. What are the potential advantages that make paying an SEO company worth it?Expertise of the SEO CompanyOne of the main advantages that partnering with an SEO company can provide is the access to expertise. In order to work with a reputable SEO company a person should have a skillset and expertise built up over months, years, or even decades. This ‘on the ground’ experience of working within the complexities of the SEO world, search engine rules, algorithm updates, and watching the industry develop from a generally unknown ‘wild west’ of keyword stuffing and comment spam into the nuanced and cutting edge industry it is today is innately valuable. While we’re certainly not saying that those new to the industry can’t be good at their job, experience in the world is a real advantage. Saving Time with Partnerships With smaller businesses it is often the time saved that is one of the biggest advantages. All business owners know how much their time is in demand, and many underestimate exactly how much time is needed to make a valuable impact on your SEO results – especially if you’re learning as you go what others already have under their belt. When you bring in an expert you are freeing up your time, and letting the years they have on the table work for you. Customized Strategies and Technical ExpertiseAn SEO company can develop customized strategies tailored to your specific needs and the goals of your business. It might not seem immediately obvious why a problem you have is connected to something seemingly unrelated. For example, you’re looking for reasons why your conversion rate is lower than desired – people are abandoning their cart and not coming back. An SEO specialist might uncover that while your website looks great due to the high price point of the products mean that people want a little extra reassurance that your brand is legitimate and go to social media to see if they can find you – and because your post are sporadic and don’t contain relevant information, your profiles don’t show up in search results. SEO isn’t just about getting keywords into titles, it’s relevant in every aspect of your online presence. A custom strategy for this client would include extensive social media rehabilitation to give your customers that confidence they need to go from ‘added to cart’ to ‘order placed’. The technical expertise an SEO company possesses, including website optimization, keyword research, and link building are cumulative skills. While there is plenty of scope for learning the raw information of “How” but it takes a lot of hands-on work to take the theory and effectively apply it. SEO Specialists spend a lot of time and energy staying updated with algorithm changes and industry best practices – a seemingly small change in the algorithm can have an unexpected impact across entire industries. For example, in 2018 there was a core update that made lots of small changes to many aspects of trustworthiness and expertise weightings within the algorithm and thousands of websites relating to nutrition, health, and lifestyle choices were negatively affected. This change left people scrambling for information, but the people who came out the least scathed were those with the time and ability to understand how to enact the require changes to get back on the first page of results. Access to Advanced Tools and ResourcesThe best SEO tools are, unfortunately for budgets, paid services and an SEO company having access to these advanced SEO tools and resources is part of what you’re paying for when you hire them. Think of it similarly to the way we pay for access to streaming services to watch TV and movies for a fraction of what the streaming service pays to the company that produced the media. Some of these tools are hundreds or thousands of dollars per year to access – and that’s before you’ve spent the time and energy learning how to use them, or using them to work on your SEO! These tools aid in data analysis, keyword research, competitor tracking and stratify formation, and tracking the performance of your own website. Leveraging these tools effectively can lead to more effective SEO campaigns, better converting websites when your reach is more targeted on people actually looking for your services. For example, someone looking for legal advice in Auckland isn’t likely to need legal textbooks, and yet this kind of mismatch is common. Neither the lawyer nor the textbook retailer is served well by the wrong audience being directed to them. The alternative to paying an SEO company – the DIY approach:There is very little stopping you from becoming your own SEO expert, there is plenty of free education out there and even more paid courses. How long might it take, though? Becoming a self-taught SEO expert requires a combination of knowledge, hand on practical experience, as well as continuous learning. The actual time it takes to become sufficiently well trained in SEO can vary depending on several factors including the level of your existing skills, the amount of time you’re happy to dedicate to courses, reading, and applying your newly found SEO skills to your own websites, and the difficulty of the industry you’re working in. it’s much easier to do well in a niche where there is little to no competition whereas trying to be visible in a highly saturated topic. For example, standing out online as a second hand book shop in a medium sized town with only two other vendors is a simpler exercise than, say, being that same second hand bookshop in Hay on Wye – a village in the UK that is less than 1km long which has over twenty second hand bookshops. It can take anywhere from several months to a few years to get SEO principles and strategies firmly under your belt. Foundational knowledge involves studying the basic principles of SEO, including understanding search engines, keywords, on-page optimization, off-page optimization, and technical SEO. Applying what you've learned to your real world is crucial for gaining practical experience – and to see if your approach is working. SEO is a dynamic field that is evolving all the times thanks to rolling updates algorithms and industry trends. Continuously updating your knowledge by staying up to date with market leaders’ blogs, attending training, participating industry forums, and experimenting with new techniques. How do decide if paying an SEO company is worth it:Return on InvestmentCalculating your return on investment is very individual to you – how you value your time, the hours spent on SEO, the efficacy of doing it yourself VS getting a professional in to do it, and what it’s worth to you and your brand to have someone taking care of your online presence. Who is paying an SEO company? Work it out and see if it’s worth itYou’d be surprised how many different types of companies reach out for SEO consultation, services, and reviews. The service might be a once off style of SEO Analysis, or ongoing optimisation of sales listings, social media posts, or blog creation. So – who exactly is paying for SEO services? Work it through with us. A large enterprise may engage SEO services on an ongoing basis. They require blog posts, site pages, sales descriptions, and maintaining the site overall. Due to the high hourly requirement for these aspects, it might cost in excess of $5,000 a month. However, when considering if they should bring the activity ‘in house’ they realize that in order to get the results that the consultants achieve, they’d need to train one of their people for over a year and maintain licences to several expensive specialist tools.

GET IN TOUCH ### Google Ads vs SEO Hi it's Cathy Mellett, from Net Branding, be seen, be heard, be found online. I was at an event this week when I was asked the question what is the difference between SEO and Google ads. In the world of Digital marketing, I would say that your search engine optimization or SEO is the long-term champion because what it actually does is it focuses on your organic results i.e., how you come up naturally in Google and that can drive traffic, organic traffic to your website. On the other side, Google ads has a very similar feature it can drive traffic to your website, But, under the Google ads system you are paying for that traffic. So, SEO becomes organic/longer term, but Google ads is more instant and can be an instant delivery of customers to your doorstep. However, the real ability is to understand that both search engine optimization and Google ads can complement one another. one can be an interim step to achieve your SEO or alternatively they can actually support one another based on how your rankings and what you are currently wanting to achieve. Search engine optimization however builds that solid foundation for your long-term success. So, at the end of the day, it depends on where you currently are in terms of your digital strategy. What you're wanting to achieve in terms of their digital strategy and how you utilize SEO or search engine optimization versus your Google ads and remarketing. If you're interested in having that conversation with me, my name is Cathy Mellett of Netbranding, Be seen, Be Heard, Be found online.

The first is increasing that conversion rate, How many more clicks and conversions can you get for your spend. The second is reducing the cost of those conversions because the more you reduce the cost the more clicks you can get and the more clicks you can get then the higher the conversion can be. so ultimately, two important factors is your conversion rate and that cost of conversion. But, how can you do it? In my opinion it takes spend to get data and the data can then be dissected and analysed to give you what you need. My first step would be reverse engineer the path to the conversions that you've had, what has been successful and what has actually resulted in you getting the conversions that you want. To do this I'd be going into my Google admin dashboard, my Google analytics dashboard and I'd be looking under my behaviors Tab and in their tab you'll be able to find some of the data that you do need to be able to support the flow of the user and the web traffic through the site. Second point is using tracking and Analytics: why is that so important? it's important because understanding how people are working through your site and tracking their progress through the site is critical. Every site that we build or every ad campaign that we do we have a substantial amount of Google tracking and support features added behind any site so we can accurately assess how things are progressing and where our conversions have come from. Now, this is not only true in Google ads but will support you for all sorts of other advertising, whether it be in Social or any of your media buys type environments that will certainly support you with that email marketing as you send out email campaigns it will give you the data that you need in terms of that conversion. The third would be monitoring the flow of traffic on your website. You know what are your landing pages are doing, I worked with an e-commerce store at one stage and we could very clearly identify that no one was actually moving beyond the top fold of the page. They weren't seeing some of the steps below the fold. So, ultimately understand how users are traversing the site traversing the web page, traversing the landing page and that may be able to give you some insights how you can adapt that to improve. Obviously there’s split testing that can be undertaken as well. The fourth is to align the copy of the ad with the landing page (Relevancy) with the website you want to give the user a good experience and if they're clicking on an ad that shows “X” but landing on a page that shows “Y” it may not provide that level of experience and you will lose that but more to the point actually aligning add to page can support you with that reduction in the cost of that conversion. The last tip is to manage your ads. Ads are not jelly don't sit and forget ads need to be managed and they need to be continually optimized. I hope you found this article and the short video on improving your Google ads conversion of value. if you would like to reach out to me please feel free to, My name is Cathy Mellett from Net Branding, Be seen, Be heard, Be found online Get In Touch! ### Cybercrime Alert: The Facebook Business Profile Clone Scam and How to Protect Your Business Businesses, both in New Zealand and internationally, are increasingly becoming targets of fraudsters who clone real Facebook business profiles. In many cases, these scammers can fool even the most vigilant users with their sophisticated techniques, causing significant harm to businesses and their customers. In this article, we'll explore what this Facebook business profile clone scam is, how it works, and most importantly, how you can protect your business from these fraudsters. The Facebook Business Profile Clone ScamThe Facebook business profile clone scam involves creating a fake profile with the look and feel of a verified business. These scammers then start commenting on the real business's posts, and gradually build a relationship with the business and its customers. Once they have gained the trust of the customers, they begin to share links to rogue websites, in some cases even asking for bank deposits or bank account numbers to make deposits into. Unfortunately, business profile scams are not isolated incidents, as personal profiles are also cloned and used in the Facebook marketplace and other areas where scammers try to sell non-existent products. These fraudsters often facilitate payments for goods that will never eventuate, leaving the victim with an empty wallet and no product. The scammers' ultimate goal is to gain access to Facebook business manager accounts linked to business credit cards, which can be used for redirected ads to other business pages. Cloned profiles can be used to trick victims into handing over personal information, which can have severe consequences for both the business and its customers. How the Scam WorksThe first task of any Facebook business profile scammer is to create a convincing profile.  The profile picture, the header, and a simulation of some of the posts to resemble the actual business. The scammers behind any Facebook clone scam use various techniques to create a convincing clone profile.  It is our responsibility to be on the lookout and vigilant as scam artists are becoming all that more convincing.  Once the business profile has been created and set up, the scammer then starts commenting on the real business's posts to establish credibility.  Often this can be in the midst of a competition or a higher level of activity on the Verified Business Page. In addition, and in some cases, the scammer will not stop there.  They actually want access to the Business Manager Account. They will then deploy tactics to trick or convince the business owner or employees into handing over access to their Facebook business manager accounts.   They may present themselves as being from Facebook i.e a Facebook Representative and need to support you with a Facebook issue.  They will ask for access to your Facebook manager account.  Always remember there is an opportunity for them to divert ad spending money onto their chosen Facebook page and they want access to this advertising environment.  They can run ads to redirect traffic to their own business pages or other businesses' pages, using the business's credit card (behind the ad account in the usurped business manager account ) to pay for these ads.  It is also likely that they also extract personal information from the business's customers and employees, putting them at risk of identity theft and other forms of fraud. Protecting Your Business from the Facebook Business Profile Clone Scam: Tips and Expert Advice from Net BrandingProtecting Your Business. For many businesses, social can be a very strong provider of leads and/or product sales.  The "Clone Facebook business profile scam" can be devastating for businesses, so it's essential to take steps to protect yourself from fraudsters. Here are some tips to help you avoid falling victim to this scam: Stay Vigilant. A simple rule is - to be wary about what you see online.  Stay vigilant.  Don't trust everything you see.   Be wary of any unsolicited messages or requests and in particular when they are asking you to click / login and enter your personal details. My mum always said, "if something seems too good to be true, it probably is". Pause and Reflect. Messages or phone calls out of the blue.  Be careful if Facebook or another company suddenly calls you with an offer of "help"  Pause and reflect before responding or sharing any information. 1.  Verify the person's identity and 2. check their profile before adding them to any business manager accounts or sharing any personal information. Double Check Profiles. We are as cautious as can be before adding anyone to a Business Manager Account. Perhaps ask them for their profile URL so you can see what their profile looks like.  Double-check profiles to ensure that everything looks bona fide and genuine. Look for signs of suspicious behaviour.  A new Facebook Account, a lack of recent posts or activity, a blank profile pic or graphic profile pic, country of account, and if in doubt,  don't hesitate to report any suspicious profiles to Facebook for their review. Educate Your Employees. Education and don't be afraid to ask should be a standard.  Discussions with your team/employees about the Facebook business profile clone scam and other forms of cyber type attacks.  Discuss signs of suspicious behaviour, and encourage them to report any suspicious activity immediately. Again - Pause and Reflect and ASK if you are uncertain. Use Two-Factor Authentication. Increase security across these profiles.  Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA).  This level of security is an additional layer of security that can help protect your Facebook account from unauthorized access.  Why?  By enabling this layer, you will need to enter a code sent to your phone or email address every time you log in to your account from an unfamiliar device or location. Use Strong Passwords. Across the internet from email to banking - strong passwords are important.  Facebook is no different.   Using strong passwords and unique passwords is essential for protecting your Facebook account and business manager account. Why unique passwords?  The same password used on a multitude of online accounts can increase the risk of a data breach. Regularly Monitor Your Accounts. Also monitor your Facebook account and business manager account for suspicious activity.  These are some of the checks you could do.  1.  Review log-in sessions and ensure that these are all yours.  2.  Monitor any unexpected ads or changes to your account settings. 3.  If you notice any unauthorized activity, report it to Facebook immediately and take steps to secure your accounts. Our social media | Facebook advice: Remain Vigilant and take appropriate precautions and act quickly if you are concerned.Facebook is an integral part of a digital marketing strategy.  This type of scam is a serious threat not only to your business but to businesses worldwide. Fraudsters and scammers are becoming more and more ingenious.  Their intention is clear, to pull the wool over your eyes and trick you into handing over personal information or money. To protect your business (or personal Facebook profile)  from this type of scam, it is important to remain vigilant and take appropriate precautions.  The most important message in this blog is really one that I highlight again.  Pause and Reflect.

What did they do? They came through on the messenger profile. Once they got through on the messenger profile, they managed to get into the person's Facebook account. Once they were in the Facebook account from there, they were able to add a profile once the profile was in the account, they called with voice altering technology. The persons whose account it was to say that they were in the account because they'd been in the account. They were able to get photographs of the person. They were able to manipulate those photos into slow moving images that allowed it to be merged with some content, adult content that made it look like this person was watching adult content, which it wasn't the case. They took those videos and they sent it off to a few of the person's acquaintances, stroke friends in that social environment, all the while creating the hype around, we're in your account, we've got some information on you and we're now going to want to extort some money from you. We were successful in being able to safeguard the account and pull it back so we could gain control of the account and remove the hacker from that account. But understanding the vulnerability when you know that somebody has been in your account, you are on guard. So in hack terms or in the security breach world, often they attempt to re-engineer another feedback back into that account. So they did that utilizing the emotional vulnerability around found the adult content. They came back with an authenticated Facebook approach. It looked like Facebook, it looked like me to announce to this particular profile that the account was going to be blocked because of adult content. Guess what if you're not on the lookout, you could have been pulled back to the hacker web. But in this particular case, you could see very clearly when you, when you hovered over the submit when you hover over the email, it definitely wasn't the case. I share this with you because every single day we are seeing different tactics, and new ways. And this one was particularly the first time I'd seen a physical call from the hacker trying to extort money. So please be careful out there. And if you feel that your accounts have been compromised early work and quick response is the best way to actually work at trying to recover that account if you have any questions or if you have any further feedback on this web, on this video that I've done, please feel free to reach out to me.

In addition to this, Google Analytics offers a wealth of pre-built reports, customizable dashboards, and goal tracking, providing you with actionable data-driven insights. Unlocking the Power of Google Tag ManagerGoogle Tag Manager is a tag management system that simplifies the process of implementing tracking codes and managing various marketing tags on your website. By controlling all tracking codes in a central place, there is a reduced need for manual coding, which enhances the overall efficiency of digital marketing efforts. Businesses can seamlessly integrate features with third-party tools and platforms, such as Google Analytics, AdWords, and Facebook Pixel, expanding their measurement capabilities and enabling advanced remarketing and tracking features. In addition, businesses can empower their marketing team to quickly deploy and update tracking codes without relying on developers, resulting in faster implementation and more agile marketing campaigns. Google Analytics vs. Google Tag Manager: Which is best for you?When it comes to choosing between these two data management platforms, it comes down to the capabilities and functions that each offers. ● Google Analytics is the go-to option for detailed insights into your website's performance and user behaviour. It provides a full report suite, real-time data, and extensive segmentation options. ● Google Tag Manager, on the other hand, is an excellent solution for streamlining your marketing operations, enhancing website agility, and simplifying the maintenance of different tracking codes. Combination: The Synergy Behind IntegrationThe ultimate goal lies in combining the strengths of both platforms. Businesses can use Google Tag Manager to integrate and manage tracking codes for Google Analytics, which unlocks advanced features and leverages the full potential of data-driven marketing. This allows you to gain better knowledge of user journeys, conversion funnels, and customer behaviour by adopting advanced e-commerce monitoring, cross-domain tracking, and custom event tracking with the combined capabilities of Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager.

This page can be made availabe as a SEO Case Study PDF if you require this. The positive impact of Net Branding's SEO services is undeniable, even though specific client case studies cannot be shared due to confidentiality agreements. Net Branding's strategic approach to SEO has led to remarkable growth, increased visibility, and improved conversions for clients across various industries. A local business saw a significant increase in organic traffic and sales after implementing Net Branding's SEO recommendations, for instance. By optimizing content, streamlining the website's structure, and targeting highly relevant keywords, the business's online visibility skyrocketed. A substantial increase in website visits, a boost in conversions, and ultimately, a substantial rise in revenue was the result. A good understanding of your customer’s behaviour is crucial for success.At its core, marketing is all about effectively communicating with your customers in their language, and on the platforms where they hang out. To understand your audience, you need to do that first. A deeper understanding is needed, not just surface-level stuff like "they need help with SEO." The right tools are essential.Digital marketing campaigns necessitate a range of tools from start to finish. The more sophisticated your tools are, the more time you'll have to spend on training your employees to use them, and the more it will cost your business. Digital Agencies such as Net Branding Limited have invested heavily in tools and continually onboard new tools as the landscape changes. Consistency is key.On average, it takes around 5 to 6 months to see consistent organic traffic to your site from SEO. To start seeing ROI, you have to be consistent with your content creation and off-page SEO for months at a time. Consistently putting in effort over many years has been the key to success for some of the most successful content marketers. Quality is an important factor to consider.It’s easy to write random blog posts, but can you write quality content that your specific target audience will find valuable? That’s what separates decent blogs from truly great ones. At the end of the day, high rankings in Google come from creating and publishing remarkable content that your audience truly wants, not by trying to game the system. Experience is the key to success.Make sure that you have experience designing and running some portion of marketing campaigns. To avoid spending months and months on content creation or thousands of dollars on paid traffic with no results and no idea where you went wrong, the last thing you want is. To satisfy all these criteria, it takes time. When you have a bunch of other pressing business issues on your plate, it's difficult to post high-quality content every single day. Crafting an airtight process to help new hires hit the ground running from day one is not an easy task. Measuring all elements of your digital assets.Any successful SEO strategy relies on measurement as a fundamental aspect. Through analytics and conversion measurements, digital marketers gain valuable insights and feedback on the effectiveness of their efforts. Agencies like Net Branding can effectively monitor website traffic, user behaviour, and conversion rates by implementing robust tracking and analytics tools, such as Google Analytics. These metrics enable data-driven decision-making and continuous optimisation, providing a clear picture of how SEO initiatives are performing. With accurate measurement, digital marketers can identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement, allowing them to refine their strategies and achieve even better results for their clients. By leveraging the power of analytics and conversion measurements, Net Branding ensures that every SEO campaign is guided by measurable data, ultimately driving meaningful outcomes and delivering tangible business impact. There's no denying that there's going to be some trial and error involved in life.By hiring a digital marketing agency, you can avoid the cost of trial and error of running your own, in-house campaigns, getting your team up to speed, spending time and company resources on maintaining your content consistency, and so forth. You can also prevent yourself from getting distracted by other important tasks, such as closing deals or securing investors. How to calculate your expected results when hiring a digital marketing agency and present some case studies of real companies that have gotten results will be discussed in this post.

GET IN TOUCH ### Understanding the March 2023 Google Core Update: How Net Branding Can Help You Adapt and Thrive As digital marketing experts, the team at Net Branding is dedicated to helping businesses navigate the ever-changing landscape of search engine optimisation. In March 2023, Google rolled out a broad core update, which has might have impacted the rankings of many websites. In this article, “Understanding the March 2023 Google Core Update’, we will discuss the implications of this update and share experienced based valuable insights on how to manage your site's performance during such changes, ensuring your brand remains competitive in the online marketplace. The Google March 2023 Core UpdateThe March 2023 Google core update was a major change to the search engine's ranking algorithm. Launched on the 15th of March of this year, this update took 13 days to be fully implemented. While Google regularly updates its algorithm, core updates are considered more significant due to their potential to cause substantial shifts in search rankings. Early reports from the SEO industry suggest that the March 2023 core update was indeed impactful compared to previous core updates. Reflecting on Past Google Core Updates: Lessons Learned and Their Lasting Impact• If we look at the history of Google core updates, the reflection on the past offers valuable insights into the search engine's continuous efforts to provide the most relevant and valuable search results for users (i.e. the ultimate client of Google - a great Google Search experience). By examining some of the more prominent core updates from the past years, we can better understand the importance of staying agile and adapting our digital marketing strategies to keep pace with these changes. This clearly reflects any solid management process. Learn from the past to prepare for the future. • Panda (2011) - The Panda update of 2011 was designed to target websites with low-quality content and decrease their search visibility. This 2011 core update emphasised the importance of producing high-quality, unique, and informative content, teaching marketers the value of prioritising content that serves users' needs. If we reflect on this update, this certainly has been a consistent theme in ensuring that the google user has a positive search experience when searching online. • Penguin (2012) - The Penguin update aimed to penalise websites that engaged in manipulative link-building schemes or used unnatural backlinks to boost their rankings. Since 2012, there has been more comment from Google regarding backlinking and core updates related to backlinks. But let's focus on Penguin 2012. This update reinforced the need for "ethical link-building" practices and highlighted the significance of earning high-quality, organic backlinks - note organic - from reputable sources. It is interesting that some agencies have continued to use linking of this dubious nature but I have no doubt that this will be identified at some point in time in the future. • Hummingbird (2013 - The Hummingbird core update of 2013 focused on improving Google's understanding of user intent and natural language queries. There are some stats relating to human search and consideration that many human search queries have never been planned for. This 2013 core update certainly emphasised the importance of creating content that effectively addressed users' search queries and optimising websites for semantic search. • Medic (2018) - The Medic update of 2018 targeted websites in the health and wellness niche, particularly those providing medical advice and information. This core update highlighted the importance of expertise, authority, and trustworthiness (E-A-T) in creating content, especially for YMYL (Your Money Your Life) websites. Google Advertising policies also support Google's drive to provide credible information from relatable sources. • BERT (2019) - The BERT update aimed to improve Google's understanding of natural language and the context within search queries. This natural language 2019 update reinforced the need for businesses to create content that aligns with user intent and is written in a clear, natural language. Again the concept of authority, expertise, and trustworthy content. Core updates are becoming a standard and regular occurrence in the world of Google. The frequency of which is becoming quicker and more regular. By studying the impact of these past core updates, we can better anticipate the potential effects of future updates and adapt our digital marketing strategies accordingly. The team at Net Branding remains vigilant and proactive in monitoring industry developments, ensuring that our clients' websites remain optimised and in line with Google's latest guidelines. • Responsive Websites - Our focus in the years leading to 2023 has definitely been on responsive websites and digital assets as search traffic data supports this as a high % source of search traffic. We believe this is also an important element to ranking thorough any core update. Adapting to a Google Core Update: Net Branding's Value-Added Recommendations1. Don't panic - Fluctuations in search rankings are often expected after any core update. This can be increased rankings followed by decreases followed but further fluctuations before ranking settles. We do recommend that you avoid making hasty or impulsive decisions and give your website some time to settle into the new ranking landscape. 2. Analyse data - Data is the core of most decisions when it comes to Search Rankings and optimisation. Always use analytics tools to identify which of your website pages have been affected by the recent Google update. Once you have this analysed/determine whether the affected pages have experienced a drop in traffic or conversions then, and only then prioritise these identified pages for improvements. 3. Improve relevance - Review your business website or e-commerce website to ensure that the content on your affected web pages is still relevant, informative, and up to date. We recommend that you address any issues such as outdated information, broken links, or thin content (low word count or not of real value). Focus on providing value to your audience by addressing their needs and answering their questions i.e. deliver content that is of value and of interest. 4. Enhance authority - How do you enhance the authority of your website? Net Branding recommends that you build the authority of your affected pages by creating high-quality, link-worthy relevant content. You may want to reach out to industry influencers, engage in guest blogging opportunities, and participate in relevant online communities to gain sort after and valuable backlinks. This will certainly help you increase your online presence. 5. Conduct competitor analysis - Monitoring competitors in the online space is important. So, investigate how your competitors are faring in the wake of the core update. Then identify what they're doing well and incorporate those strategies into your own SEO and search ranking efforts. 6. Revisit technical SEO basics - Back to basics. Do ensure that your website is optimised for search engines from a technical standpoint. This includes (but is not limited to) having a responsive design, fast loading times, and a secure connection (HTTPS). Additionally, ensure that your site is easily crawlable by search engine bots. A clear site structure and a comprehensive XML sitemap are important for this crawl. 7. Publish new, high-quality content - For years we have said - content is king. There are derivatives of this now but we suggest you offset any traffic loss by creating and promoting fresh, engaging content. Fresh or updated content will not only help you regain lost ground but also attract new visitors to your website. Get In Touch! ### Be Careful Who You Connect with on LinkedIn Proceed with Caution!Scammers will try to take advantage on any platform. Today I was approached by someone via LinkedIn who appeared bona fide and legitimate. But from experience with similar sorts of approaches via email, a few things began to stand out as red flags. I’m glad this was so because it turned out to be a hoax/scammer approach. He sent me a file to open, and the file was suspiciously intended to be opened on desktop. How easy is it to be "hooked" into opening files? Well, the idea was to read the file and then prep for a Zoom meeting. So what then happens when they talk you into opening a file? The zip file is deliberately password-protected – because antivirus programs can’t scan inside password-protected files (since they don’t have the password). When you unzip the folder with the password you see images and what appears to be a PDF. But it isn't a PDF. It is a type of script. And once you click on the "PDF" - there is suddenly a job in task manager that is running on your desktop. In my situation, the guy seemed to know that I hadn't opened the file properly. Possibly because I might’ve had to ask for another password; or he wasn't able to get remote access to my desktop; or I had not responded to a possible ransomware request. Whatever the reason, the biggest concern is that it came from the networking environment, which you assume to be safe so it’s easy be far less alert to these kinds of scams. I share the above to encourage you to be vigilant when it comes to these kinds of scams on all kinds of platforms, and especially from sources that you assume to be trustworthy.

With rapid developments in the digital environment, staying ahead of the curve is more important than ever for businesses. To facilitate the effective management of marketing activities, there are two powerful tools on Facebook that can be used to streamline marketing operations. These tools are known as Business Manager and Business Suite, which offer a range of features to facilitate the delivery of marketing activities. The two are similar but differ in their functionality and targeted audience. This article explains the difference between Business Manager and Business Suite in order to help you understand which platform better suits your business’s needs. Business Manager: Centralised Control and CollaborationFacebook’s Business Manager is a comprehensive tool designed for businesses and marketing agencies to manage their advertising activities on social media accounts, pages, and other assets in a central location. It provides the opportunity to streamline workflows, facilitate collaboration, and enhance security for your business's social media accounts. 1. Advertising Account Management Business Manager is a tool that allows you to create multiple advertising accounts, which is ideal for agencies and businesses with various marketing campaigns. By having all accounts in a central location, businesses can be assured greater control over permissions, and can more easily delegate tasks amongst internal marketers. 2. Asset Management With Facebook Manager, you can better access your business’s online assets, such as the Instagram account, LinkedIn page, and product catalogs. This simplifies the process of granting permissions to different team members with access to multiple business accounts. 3. Business Level Insights Business Manager offers in-depth reporting and analytics, providing valuable insights into ad performance, audience engagement, and campaign results. These metrics help businesses optimize their marketing strategies and make data-driven decisions. Business Suite: Simplified Management for Small-to-Medium BusinessesWhile Business Manager is suited for companies and agencies with complex marketing needs, Facebook’s Business Suite caters to small businesses looking for a simple solution to manage their online presence. This integrates the functionalities of Facebook Pages Manager and Instagram business tools into a friendly interface. ● Social Media Publishing: Business suite enables businesses to schedule the publishing of certain content across their social media platforms. This streamlines the process of creating and managing posts, as well as to provide a unified platform to social media management. ● Messaging and Customer Support: Using Business Suite, small businesses can easily manage communications with their customers through messaging on both FaceBook and Instagram. This can enhance the user experience by making communications more convenient. ● Performance Insights: With Business Suite, there are valuable data insights into post reach, engagement, click rates and other consumer behaviors. This information is critical to understanding the current market. Business Manager vs. Business Suite: What's Right for You?When it comes to choosing between Business Manager and Business Suite, it ultimately comes down to which option best suits your business’s digital marketing plan. We believe there are two major considerations to be made: ● Complexity: Business Manager is the suggested option if your company needs advanced advertising features, team collaboration with multiple members, and in-depth analytics. For companies with more complex marketing operations, it offers fine-grained control and thorough reporting. ● Simple: Business Suite offers a user-friendly interface, social media publishing tools, and fundamental performance insights for small businesses with minimal marketing requirements. For managing Facebook and Instagram accounts in one location, it provides a convenient solution.

Will our website’s be penalised because of  AI content and what is considered good online practice? Google's stance on AI-generated content has undergone a significant shift in the last month. In April 2022, Google's Search Advocate, John Mueller, declared that content generated automatically using AI writing tools violates Google's Webmaster Guidelines. However, in February 2023, Google clarified its advice on AI-generated content, stating that it does not care who or what creates the content, as long as it is written to help people and not to manipulate search results. The concept of “Who, How and Why” as a baseline of elements to be included into any web content uploaded to your website to become more important in prepped content for online distribution and access.The updated guidance in February 2023 recommends that authors add accurate authorship information and provide background about how automation or AI-generation was used to create the content. Additionally, Google suggests that content should be created primarily to help people and not to attract search engine visits. This recent change in Google's stance can be attributed to several factors, including the increased use of AI-generated content, the need for more relevant and helpful content, Google's own AI-powered tools, the evolution of E-A-T guidelines, and the need for transparency. I will expand on these elements below. Relevant articles shared by industry experts over the last year. Google’s stance in April 2022. https://medium.com/codex/google-declares-that-ai-generated-content-violates-policies-21603bd99f2aChange in stance by Google on Feb. 8th 2023. https://searchengineland.com/google-reiterates-guidance-on-ai-generated-content-write-content-for-people-392840This February 2023 change alters a recent blog published by Net Branding Limited only a few weeks back (January 2023). SEE January Blog Here The two articles by Search Engine Land and Mediums shared above, reflect the change in Google's updated stance on AI-generated content. In April 2022, Google's Search Advocate, John Mueller, declared that content generated using AI writing tools violates Google's Webmaster Guidelines. However, it is now clear that in February 2023, Google clarified its advice (or altered course), stating that it does not care who or what creates the content, as long as it is written to help people and not to manipulate search results. The updated guidance recommends that website content authors add accurate authorship information and provide background about how automation or AI generation was used to create the content. Content for the People – It has always been so and continues to be so.We note that in this clarification by Google, Google suggests that content should be created primarily to help people and not to attract search engine visits. A measure (by Google) of the success of content would be Click Through Rates to showcased search ranking results along with time on pages for the said content. So why had this change come about as suddenly as it has? Our Net Branding team discussed the change in Google's guidance on AI-generated content and is of the opinion that this backtrack by Google can be attributed to several reasons. Here are our five possible reasons why Google has shifted its stance:1. Increased use of AI-generated content: With the advancement of AI technology, more and more businesses are using AI-powered content creation tools to generate content quickly and efficiently. This has led to an increase in AI-generated content on the web, making it challenging for Google to enforce its previous policies against such content. 2. The need for more relevant and helpful content: Google's primary focus is to provide the most relevant and helpful search results for its users. With the increase in AI-generated content, Google may have realised that some of this content is actually helpful and relevant to users, and penalising it based solely on its origin may not serve the best interests of its users. Remember the EEAT element. 3. Google's own AI-powered tools: Google has been investing heavily in AI technology and has developed several AI-powered tools, including its AI-powered language model, BERT, and its natural language processing tool, RankBrain. It's possible that Google's own in-house tools have influenced its decision to shift its stance on AI-generated content. You cannot be penalising something and then promoting it in the same breath. And we believe that BERT crafted content will quickly make its way to the top of a Google result in the not to distant future. 4. Evolution of Experience- E-A-T guidelines: E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) is a crucial aspect of Google's search algorithm, and the guidelines for E-A-T and then E-E-A-T have evolved over time. As Google has refined its understanding of what makes content trustworthy and authoritative, it may have realized that AI-generated content can also meet these standards. 5. The need for transparency: Google has always emphasised the importance of transparency and honesty in online content. With the increase in AI-generated content, there is a greater need for transparency in disclosing the use of AI tools in content creation. By encouraging authors to provide accurate authorship information and AI/automation disclosures, Google is promoting greater transparency and honesty in content creation. One certain thing is clear. The internet, SEO, Content, and ranking is a moving field of recommendations and actions. Possibly the most important take out of all of this is that content is king but relevant content for an interested user that provides all the principles of E-E-A-T is important. Content should not be there for content’s sake but content should be there for value add and interest. We believe this will refocus measures on CTR and time on page as accurate measures of E-E-A-T and a related method of how Google perceives your content to be consumed by a site searcher. We hope this article has shed some light on the evolving world of AI-generated content and its impact on SEO.

GET IN TOUCH ### Business Websites - WordPress Website Security and Cyber Threats Business websites are an essential part of any company's online presence, providing a platform for customers or clients to learn about your products or services, contact you, and make purchases in the case of an E-commerce website. As such, it is important to ensure that your business website is secure and protected against cyber threats. Website Security and Cyber ThreatsWebsite security is the practice of protecting a website and its associated data and infrastructure from malicious attacks, damage, and unauthorized access. There are many different types of cyber threats that can compromise the security of a website, including: Malware: Malware is software that is designed to harm or exploit computer systems. This can include viruses, worms, trojans, and other types of malicious software that can be installed on a user's device when they visit a compromised website. Phishing attacks: Phishing attacks are attempts to trick users into revealing sensitive information (such as login credentials or financial information) by disguising themselves as legitimate websites or messages. SQL injection: SQL injection is a type of attack that involves injecting malicious code into a website's database through a vulnerability in the site's input validation. Cross-site scripting (XSS): XSS attacks involve injecting malicious code into a website that is then executed by the browser of a visitor to the site. Distributed denial of service (DDoS): A DDoS attack involves flooding a website with traffic in an attempt to make it unavailable to users. Protecting your business website from a security threat.To protect against these and other threats, websites should implement strong security measures such as secure coding practices, firewalls, and secure authentication and authorization processes. Additionally, users can protect themselves by keeping their devices and software up to date, being cautious when entering sensitive information online, and using reputable security software. One of the most popular content management systems (CMS) for creating and managing business websites is WordPress. WordPress is easy to use, flexible, and has a large community of developers who create themes and plugins to extend its functionality. However, like any other CMS, WordPress has its own set of security concerns that you need to be aware of and address to protect your website and your business. Here are some steps you can take to improve the security of your WordPress website and reduce the risk of a cyber threat:1. Keep your WordPress installation and all plugins and themes up to date. WordPress regularly releases updates to fix security vulnerabilities and bugs. It is important to keep your installation, plugins, and themes up to date to ensure that you have the latest security patches and features. 2. Use strong, unique passwords. Your WordPress login and database credentials should be complex and not easily guessable. You can use a password manager to generate and store strong, unique passwords for all of your accounts. 3. Use a security plugin. There are many security plugins available for WordPress that can help protect your website against various types of attacks. Some popular options include Wordfence, Sucuri, and iThemes Security. These plugins can provide features such as firewall protection, malware scanning, and brute force attack prevention. 4. Limit login attempts. One way that attackers try to gain access to WordPress websites is by guessing login credentials through a process called a brute force attack. You can limit the number of login attempts that are allowed by installing a plugin like Login Lockdown or Limit Login Attempts. 5. Use HTTPS. HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is a protocol for secure communication over the internet. It encrypts data transmitted between your website and the user's browser, making it more difficult for attackers to intercept and read sensitive information. You can use a plugin like Really Simple SSL to switch your website to HTTPS. 6. Back up your website regularly. It is important to have a backup of your website in case something goes wrong, such as a server failure or a successful attack. You can use a plugin like UpdraftPlus or BackupBuddy to create backups of your website and store them in a secure location. By following these best practices, you can help protect your WordPress website and your business against cyber threats. It is also a good idea to stay informed about the latest security issues and trends and to regularly review and update your security measures. What is a hacked or compromised website?A compromised website is a site that has been accessed and potentially modified by an unauthorised party. This can happen as a result of a security breach or vulnerability in the website's code or server. A compromised website may display different or malicious content to users, or it may be used to collect sensitive information or spread malware to visitors. If you suspect that a website you are visiting has been compromised, we may be able to help. Your suspicion may also be confirmed when Google marks your website as unsafe. Net Branding can support you in a compromised or hack website recovery.

This is a critical challenge for businesses of any kind as it becomes harder to reach audiences through the evolving online channels. It is now more important than ever that effective communication be made in the digital environment. One way businesses can reach their target audiences through a sea of messages is through email marketing. This allows you to engage through personalised communication, which can improve conversion rates and customer engagement. In this article, we will talk about why personalised communication is important and how you can tailor emails according to customer needs. Importance of Personalised CommunicationWhen businesses try to connect with prospective clients or customers, many struggle to harness the power of personalisation. In terms of email marketing, it is essential that content be tailored in order to resonate with certain audiences. This is how personalised communication can optimise your email marketing: ● Improved Relevance: Personalised content that is tailored to individual needs and demographic interests enables you to create more engaging content in an email inbox. This makes your email more relevant in terms of other emails, as you can offer individual solutions and address their pain points. ● Enhanced Engagement: By creating captivating content that addresses prospects by their full name and includes their personal interests, you can better connect with audiences. This is a proven method behind higher conversion and click rates in email marketing. ● Build Trust and Relationships: Personalised communication allows you to demonstrate to individuals that you are aware of their needs and circumstances. You can do this by addressing potential and common pain points. This enables you to foster long-term relationships, turning one-time customers into loyal brand advocates. Strategies for Personalised CommunicationNow that we have established the relevance of email marketing and personalised communication, we can delve into several key strategies for creating personal content. ● Segmentation: When conducting email campaigns, break your list into certain demographics or preferences in order to send personal and captivating content. ● Dynamic Content: Sending content that is related to the individual preferences or web browsing history has a better chance of being opened. This is because you are showcasing content relevant to the individual's preferences. ● Personalised Addressee: It is essential that you email your targeted audience by their individual first and last name. This makes sure that you do not come across as an uninterested salesperson. ● Personalised Subject Lines: Gaining the attention right from the start is an important goal for any email marketing campaign. Referencing their recent interactions with your business can also significantly improve your open rates. Common Mistakes in Personalised MessagesThere are common errors businesses make when trying to achieve personalised communication in an email marketing campaign. Avoiding these mistakes is critical to ensuring your business maintains a positive interaction with its audience. ● General Personalisation: Relying solely on personalised recipient and subject lines is a common mistake businesses make in an email marketing campaign. This is because it can often come across as impersonal and robotic, giving the recipient the idea that you are only interested in generating profit. It's critical to go above and beyond in personalising your email. We at Net Branding are specialists in this field, so contact us to learn more about how you can better prepare customised emails ● Lack of Data Utilisation: Not effectively using the data readily available to businesses is another common mistake. Businesses have access to invaluable data such as purchase history, browsing history or demographic information. Moreover, it is suggested that this data should set the foundation for the content of your personalised email. ● No A/B Testing: Businesses not embracing A/B testing do not get an understanding of what works and what doesn’t when it comes to email marketing. By using certain testing methods, you can get an idea of the singular method to create personalised messages. GET IN TOUCH ### What are the benefits of SEO? What are the benefits of SEO?Despite Google not publishing official statistics, it is estimated that around 40,000 searches are processed every second. Search is a method by which all users access the internet, whether they are looking for an answer to a question, finding the right products or just wanting to visit a website. Improve your ranking on search engines by being more transparent with the webmaster community. Increase Trust to Google and Increase Quality to your Searcher. You need to do more than just show up on Google if you want potential customers to find your business. It’s been found that the top 3 organic Google results get 75% of all the clicks. Most people prefer to click on the first few results when they search, so it’s crucial that you make sure your site is in those 3 spots at. SEO is an integral part of almost every marketing campaign and it's a great way to support your PPC efforts. Consumers are more likely to trust your company if they find your website through relevant organic search results but more so, if you appear within multiple instances on that first page. Digital marketers understand that SEO is essential to generating more website traffic and higher quality requests. Business owners understand that they need online results that support their marketing strategy. Using our Net Branding SEO Agency Experts, we analyse the competition in your sector to give you a detailed overview of their strategy and what they're doing to rank on Google. We will analyse your competitors to see where they strengthen & lose, which we'll use as the basis for an SEO campaign.

This means they can guarantee your website will stay at the top of popular search results. The best combination of skills is one Digital Company or Agency that can support both your website development and your SEO. Compete in eCommerce to be FoundWhen it comes to eCommerce, success hinges on your ability to compete in search. Customers are looking for the products they want and if your competitors appear before you, then that's a sale immediately lost. When your business takes place online, SEO can help attract new and returning customers. So, how does SEO work?When you perform a search, the engine uses an algorithm to come up with which pages to show. The algorithms that search engines use to rank their results are complex and can contain many different factors. A major part of this ranking is determined by individual things like the number of in links (how many other sites link to it). Keyword Research.Keyword research is not a ranking factor, but it's still really important to SEO. Before most SEO activity can take place, keyword research is crucial to understand which keywords are the most valuable and the most competitive. Through keyword research and understanding your competitors, you can better understand the landscape of your industry & identify where opportunities exist. This will also help you understand how to prioritize and focus your SEO efforts. ContentFor your website to rank on search engines, it has to have content. Content can come in various forms, from a blog post, whitepaper, product page, video or other form that answers a user's query. Every piece of content should help fulfill a specific goal that aligns with your business goals. However, it's important to consider how the content will be used. Content can inform or entertain, as well as enable a transaction. Usually a successful piece of content does one or more than one of these things. LinksGetting links from other websites and social media will boost your link profile letting Google know that your content is reputable and relevant. A strategy that incorporates internal and external links can help the algorithm crawl your website and measure its relevance, quality and trustworthiness (Trust Flow and Citation Flow). StructureQuality HTML design helps you optimise your pages and provide good content that will be in-line with the topics your website covers. This will result in higher ranking on Google, because the algorithm takes into account how closely related your website is to its original search term. Additionally, a well-structured page makes for a better browsing experience for users which encourages them to stay on the page. The speed of your page, its mobile-friendliness and how easy it is for Google to index it can all affect ranking. TrustTo make your site trustworthy, you need to establish authority in your domain and content by for example acquiring recognition from third parties and publishing fresh blog articles regularly. Creating consistent, high-quality content that is both search engine optimised and provides people with a reason to share it. A social media presence with constant content and engagement, great Google Reviews and a solid on page presence via Google Maps all support the building of Trust process. The reasons behind your SERP rank are many. You need the right understanding when it comes to on-page, off-page and technical SEO in order to improve your rankings. That’s why our Digital Marketing and SEO services are a great option for you if you want to get ahead of the pack. What is the most important thing in SEO?SEO can help you with your business growth. It's important to know what kind of SEO services are available, depending on what your needs are. The Two Imp. On-Page SEOOnline marketing is the first step to having your business grow. The metadata, links and on-page tags are all evident of your intent, but they won't automatically help you reach every possible customer. Content that has a strong on-page SEO strategy is better aligned with the search intent of potential customers. This means that people who genuinely need what you offer are more likely to find your content and buy it. Content and Relevant BacklinksOff-page SEO such as creating backlinks to your site can help increase your credibility and authority online. Building off-site links can build equity and authority through social media shares or guest blogging which can increase your rankings on search engine rankings. Technical SEOTechnical SEO is a type of SEO aside from the main focus. It works behind the scenes, locking down technical aspects of your website that may be hindering your search rankings. Technical SEO is all about making sure that the way you present your website, enables Google's algorithm to crawl and index it easily.

GET IN TOUCH ### The Four Major League Mistakes NZ Businesses Make – Digital Marketing Edition Starting and Running a Business is a Tough Job – Let’s Make Digital Marketing SimplerNumerous pitfalls await business owners - especially small business owners - when it comes to the success of their digital marketing endeavours. Today, our aim is to assist you in recognizing and then overcoming the four most common mistakes that we see small businesses often making when it comes to digital marketing. 1 – When You Fail to Plan, You’re Planning to FailEveryone knows that having a business plan is the best way to ensure your success in the long run, and most business owners go into their new endeavour with a well laid out financial, product, development, and even traditional marketing strategy – and yet don’t spend any time on digital marketing pans. Small business owners must devise a comprehensive marketing plan to serve as a roadmap for their ongoing decisions. Having a written plan in place enables you to create targeted and effective campaigns, employing specific strategies that significantly enhance your chances of success. Lacking a clear digital marketing strategy for your small business can lead to enacting a scattered and ineffective attempt – which does not lend itself to success. It is vital to establish your objectives early - identify your target audience and determine the channels through which you will reach them. A part of this plan should be to always be on the lookout for government schemes and grants that can help you boost your business. For example, to support your successful development of a marketing strategy the New Zealand Government offers up to 50% subsidization for New Zealand business owners through the Regional Partner Network. 2 – Missing Out on the Boost Paid Advertising Can BringWhile business owners tend to understand that making wise investments is essential, but many make the arbitrary decision that they will not – under any circumstances – pay for online advertising. Generally speaking, making and sticking to your business plan is commendable however you should look into the reasoning behind your decisions. Most people we talk to about their hesitancy regarding online advertising boils down to fear – fear of getting ripped off, fear of making a processing error and losing money, or fear or ineffectual copy that doesn’t convert. These are all valid concerns – however, they are all combatable with sufficient planning and strategy. Paid ads enable small business owners to attract a higher number of qualified and relevant leads by specifically targeting consumers who are likely to be interested in their brand. In traditional marketing speak – it’s much easier to sell a mattress to someone who has come into a mattress section looking to buy a mattress, than to someone looking at a new TV for their living room renovation. With well-crafted ad copy, comprehensive targeting, and timing you can make sure that the people who are seeing your ads are people who are already interested in the service or product you provide. It's also important to know that paid ads provide measurable results such as impressions, clicks, and conversions. This high-level ability to monitor the performance of each ad empowers you to make informed decisions and improve your outcomes over time. Speaking of analytics… 3 – If You Don’t Track Analytics, You Can’t Measure SuccessSmall business owners and those new to digital marketing often overlook the importance of tracking the performance of their digital strategies which is somewhat ironic as measuring digital efficacy is much easier than traditional marketing. Traditionally, you can track how many people come into your stores and how many widgets you’ve sold, but you have to guess or surmise where how they came to be there. With analytics, you can see what they searched for to find you, if they saw and clicked an ad (which ad, where it was displayed, and how competitive it was!), and how long they stayed around your site. Neglecting to monitor metrics such as page traffic, paid ad results, leads, and conversions can result in resources wasted on ineffective versions, missed opportunities for learning and refining, and the inability to optimize strategies. 4 – Letting Short Term Gains Outshine the Long-Term SuccessWhile ignoring the opportunity paid ads provide is a major error, ignoring organic traffic and Search Engine Optimisation is a critical mistake that can land you in the uncomfortable position of needing to pay for all your traffic. Ad clicks are continually getting more expensive, and you do need to put real effort and resources into optimising the copy, graphic design, campaign design, and roll-out in order to not get stuck in the loop of paying more and more for average or sub-average results. Paid ads can provide a great boost to your conversion when needed; maybe you’re just starting out, launching a new product or service, or a major event in your industry is coming up and you want to maximise your exposure. SEO is the best way to generate consistent and reliable traffic to your site, and with the right optimisation and high-quality copy you can rank in search results and get more people than ever looking at your business – long term and not reliant on paying for them every single time. Balance is KeyWe’ve talked about having a plan, being open to paid advertising, tracking progress and efficacy, and remembering to keep plugging away at long term strategies. The key message to take away today is that it’s important to keep your plan in balance – too much emphasis on paid ads, on SEO, or making it “perfect” is going to sabotage your success. Engaging with knowledgeable and trustworthy partners, keeping balance in your strategies, and staying in it for the long run are the best ways to move your business forward with digital marketing. GET IN TOUCH ### What are the four types of SEO Services? And, how to understand these better There are many different types of SEO services, and the specific services offered by a given company will vary depending on their expertise and target market. However, some common types of SEO services include the following: 1. Technical SEO: This type of SEO focuses on improving the technical aspects of a website, such as its architecture and its code, in order to make it more easily crawlable and indexable by search engines. Technical SEO can help to improve a website's ranking in search results and make it more user-friendly. 2. On-page optimisation: This type of SEO involves optimizing the content and HTML code of individual web pages in order to make them more relevant to specific keywords and improve their ranking in search results. On-page optimisation typically includes activities like keyword research, meta tag optimisation, and internal linking. 3. Off-page optimisation: Unlike on-page optimisation, which focuses on the content and code of individual web pages, off-page optimisation involves improving a website's overall authority and trustworthiness in the eyes of search engines. This can include activities like link building, social media marketing, and online reputation management. 4. Local SEO: This type of SEO is specifically designed to improve a business's visibility in local search results, such as those shown when a user searches for a product or service in a specific location. Local SEO can help businesses to attract customers from their local area, and typically involves optimizing a website for specific location-based keywords and building local citations and reviews. To understand these different types of SEO services better, it can be helpful to do some research and learn more about the specific tactics and strategies involved in each type of SEO. There are many online resources, such as blog posts and guides, that can provide a more in-depth understanding of these different types of services and how they can help to improve a website's ranking in search results. Net Branding has experience in ranking both New Zealand and International Businesses for chosen and relevant income producing keywords that make a difference to the companies bottom line and ROI. Which type SEO is best?There is no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of which type of SEO is best, as the most effective approach will depend on the specific goals and needs of a business. However, some general guidelines can be useful when deciding which type of SEO to focus on. For most businesses, a comprehensive approach that combines multiple types of SEO is likely to be the most effective. This might include technical SEO, on-page optimisation, and off-page optimisation, as well as local SEO if the business has a physical location and serves customers in a specific geographic area. It is also important to keep in mind that the effectiveness of any given type of SEO will depend on the specific industry and target market. For example, a local brick-and-mortar business will likely benefit more from local SEO than from technical SEO, while an e-commerce site with a global audience might benefit more from off-page optimisation than from on-page optimisation. Ultimately, the best type of SEO for any given business will depend on its specific goals, target market, and industry. By considering these factors and adopting a flexible, comprehensive approach, a business can maximize the benefits of SEO and improve its visibility in search engine results.

Across social media, there have been many a post by business coaches, social marketers and more about the role of AI-generated content within content creation for your personal or business website or blog. The big talked about AI-content generator is ChatGPT which is creating quite a buzz.  So are there downsides to using these AI-generating content tools?  Let's explore. So, let’s answer the question, what is AI-generated content?AI-generated content refers to any type of content that is created using artificial intelligence (AI). This can potentially include a wide range of content, from simple text generated by a language model to more complex content such as images or videos created using generative models. AI-generated content can be used for a variety of purposes, such as creating content for websites, social media, or advertising. Google’s AI Content related announcementGoogle has recently announced that AI-generated content is in violation of their policies. According to this Google drop, AI-generated content can be misleading and can negatively impact on a users' experiences. As a result, they (Google) have implemented strict guidelines for content creators and publishers in relation to AI-generated content. Google has stated that any AI-generated content must be clearly labelled as such, and that it cannot be used to impersonate or deceive users. Additionally, any content that is generated by AI must be transparently sourced and attributed to the creator. So, were does this leave you when it comes to content creation and AI?This decision by Google comes as a response to the growing concern over the potential negative impact of AI-generated content the media we access, read, digest and respond to. We know that AI has improved hugely over these last years so it stands to reason that as this technology becomes more advanced, it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between AI-generated content and human-generated content. This announcement by Google is a significant step towards addressing the issue of AI-generated content, and it is likely that other platforms and companies will follow suit soon. It is important for creators and publishers of AI-generated content to understand and abide by these new guidelines to ensure that their content is not in violation of Google's policies. Naturally, AI Content generation tools may say that it is only spammy content that may get you penalised, as they are all for you using their tools.

The new guidance emphasizes that content should be created primarily to help people, rather than to attract search engine traffic.

This can include tasks such as debugging code, fixing broken links, adding new pages or functionality, and ensuring that the website is compatible with different web browsers and devices. Regular maintenance is important to keep a website running smoothly and to ensure that it remains relevant and useful for users. What does Website Repair and Maintenance mean?Maintaining a website is important for a number of reasons. First and foremost, it helps to ensure that your website is functioning properly and that users are able to access the content and features they need. This can be especially important for businesses that rely on their website to generate leads or make sales. In order to keep your website in good working order, it's important to regularly check for and fix any issues or errors that may arise. This can include things like broken links, which can be frustrating for users and can also impact your search engine rankings. Another important aspect of website maintenance is ensuring that your website is compatible with different web browsers and devices. With the proliferation of smartphones and tablets, it's essential that your website is responsive and looks good on a variety of screen sizes. In addition to fixing technical issues, website maintenance may also involves keeping your content up to date. This can include adding new pages or blog posts, as well as updating existing pages with fresh, relevant information. This helps to ensure that your website remains relevant and useful for users, and it can also help to improve your search engine rankings. However, it goes without saying – do not think that by adding content to a website, you are maintaining the site. Many compromised website owners have fallen for this incorrect assumption. Another important aspect of website maintenance is security. As the internet becomes increasingly complex and hackers become more sophisticated, it's important to keep your website secure to protect your business and your users. This can include installing security updates and patches, as well as implementing security measures such as SSL certificates and firewall protection.

Security vulnerabilities: If your website is not kept up to date, it may be vulnerable to security threats such as hacking and malware. 2. Broken features and functions: Without regular updates, your website may have broken features or functions that do not work properly. 3. Poor user experience: An outdated website can be difficult to navigate and may not work well on modern devices, resulting in a poor user experience. 4. Decreased search engine rankings: Search engines like Google may penalise websites that are not well-maintained, resulting in a lower ranking in search results. 5. Loss of business: If your website is not functioning properly or is not secure, users may not trust it and may choose to do business with a competitor instead. Overall, failing to maintain a WordPress website can have serious consequences for your business or organisation. It's important to stay on top of updates and regularly check for and fix any issues to ensure that your website is functioning properly and is secure for users.

Descriptive analytics: This type of analytics focuses on summarizing and describing data in order to understand what has happened in the past. It is often used to create reports and dashboards that provide a high-level overview of key metrics and performance indicators. 2.

It is often used to identify trends and patterns in the data, and to diagnose problems or issues in order to improve performance. 3. Predictive analytics: This type of analytics uses data and statistical models to forecast future events or trends. It is often used to identify potential opportunities or risks, and to make predictions about how the business is likely to perform in the future. 4. Prescriptive analytics: This type of analytics goes beyond predictive analytics by providing recommendations or actions based on the data and analysis. It is often used to help businesses make data-driven decisions and optimize their operations. 5. Cognitive analytics: This type of analytics uses artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to automatically analyse and interpret data. It is often used to discover hidden insights and patterns in the data, and to make predictions and recommendations without the need for explicit programming.

Search is a method by which all users access the internet, whether they are looking for an answer to a question, finding the right products or just wanting to visit a website. Improve your ranking on search engines by being more transparent with the webmaster community. Increase Trust to Google and Increase Quality to your Searcher. You need to do more than just show up on Google if you want potential customers to find your business. It’s been found that the top 3 organic Google results get 75% of all the clicks. Most people prefer to click on the first few results when they search, so it’s crucial that you make sure your site is in those 3 spots at. SEO is an integral part of almost every marketing campaign and it's a great way to support your PPC efforts. Consumers are more likely to trust your company if they find your website through relevant organic search results but more so, if you appear within multiple instances on that first page. Digital marketers understand that SEO is essential to generating more website traffic and higher quality requests. Business owners understand that they need online results that support their marketing strategy. Using our Net Branding SEO Agency Experts, we analyse the competition in your sector to give you a detailed overview of their strategy and what they're doing to rank on Google. We will analyse your competitors to see where they strengthen & lose, which we'll use as the basis for an SEO campaign.

Compete in eCommerce to be FoundWhen it comes to eCommerce, success hinges on your ability to compete in search. Customers are looking for the products they want and if your competitors appear before you, then that's a sale immediately lost. When your business takes place online, SEO can help attract new and returning customers. So, how does SEO work?When you perform a search, the engine uses an algorithm to come up with which pages to show. The algorithms that search engines use to rank their results are complex and can contain many different factors. A major part of this ranking is determined by individual things like the number of in links (how many other sites link to it). Keyword ResearchKeyword research is not a ranking factor, but it's still really important to SEO. Before most SEO activity can take place, keyword research is crucial to understand which keywords are the most valuable and the most competitive. Through keyword research and understanding your competitors, you can better understand the landscape of your industry & identify where opportunities exist. This will also help you understand how to prioritize and focus your SEO efforts. ContentFor your website to rank on search engines, it has to have content. Content can come in various forms, from a blog post, whitepaper, product page, video or other form that answers a user's query. Every piece of content should help fulfill a specific goal that aligns with your business goals. However, it's important to consider how the content will be used. Content can inform or entertain, as well as enable a transaction. Usually a successful piece of content does one or more than one of these things. LinksGetting links from other websites and social media will boost your link profile letting Google know that your content is reputable and relevant. A strategy that incorporates internal and external links can help the algorithm crawl your website and measure its relevance, quality and trustworthiness (Trust Flow and Citation Flow). StructureQuality HTML design helps you optimise your pages and provide good content that will be in-line with the topics your website covers. This will result in higher ranking on Google, because the algorithm takes into account how closely related your website is to its original search term. Additionally, a well-structured page makes for a better browsing experience for users which encourages them to stay on the page. The speed of your page, its mobile-friendliness and how easy it is for Google to index it can all affect ranking. TrustTo make your site trustworthy, you need to establish authority in your domain and content by for example acquiring recognition from third parties and publishing fresh blog articles regularly. Creating consistent, high-quality content that is both search engine optimised and provides people with a reason to share it. A social media presence with constant content and engagement, great Google Reviews and a solid on page presence via Google Maps all support the building of Trust process. The reasons behind your SERP rank are many. You need the right understanding when it comes to on-page, off-page and technical SEO in order to improve your rankings. That’s why our Digital Marketing and SEO services are a great option for you if you want to get ahead of the pack. What is the most important thing in SEO?SEO can help you with your business growth. It's important to know what kind of SEO services are available, depending on what your needs are. On-Page SEOOnline marketing is the first step to having your business grow. The metadata, links and on-page tags are all evident of your intent, but they won't automatically help you reach every possible customer. Content that has a strong on-page SEO strategy is better aligned with the search intent of potential customers. This means that people who genuinely need what you offer are more likely to find your content and buy it. Content and Relevant BacklinksOff-page SEO such as creating backlinks to your site can help increase your credibility and authority online. Building off-site links can build equity and authority through social media shares or guest blogging which can increase your rankings on search engine rankings. Technical SEOTechnical SEO is a type of SEO aside from the main focus. It works behind the scenes, locking down technical aspects of your website that may be hindering your search rankings. Technical SEO is all about making sure that the way you present your website, enables Google's algorithm to crawl and index it easily. This includes developing an XML sitemap, optimising for mobile, schema and adding breadcrumb menus, etc. The reasons behind your SERP rank are many. You need the right understanding when it comes to on-page, off-page and technical SEO in order to improve your rankings.

GET IN TOUCH ### SEO Services and its increased importance in 2023 SEO, or search engine optimisation, is the process of improving the visibility of a website or web page in a search engine's unpaid results. In 2023, the importance of SEO is likely to continue to increase, as more businesses become aware of the benefits of ranking highly in search engine results. This is especially true in light of the fact that Google Ads, the platform for paid advertising on Google, is becoming more expensive. By investing in SEO, businesses can increase their organic traffic and potentially save money on paid advertising. Will SEO exist in 10 years?It is difficult to predict exactly what the future of SEO will look like in 10 years, but it is likely that the fundamental principles of SEO will still exist. As long as people use search engines to find information, businesses will want to improve their visibility in those search results. However, the way that SEO is performed and the factors that influence a website's ranking in search results are likely to continue to evolve. One major factor that could change the future of SEO is the increasing use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in search engines. Already, search engines use complex algorithms to rank websites and determine which results are most relevant to a user's query. As AI technology improves, it is possible that these algorithms will become even more sophisticated, potentially making it harder for businesses to game the system and improve their ranking through traditional SEO tactics. Another potential change to the future of SEO could be the increasing importance of mobile devices. More and more people are using smartphones and tablets to browse the web, and this trend is only likely to continue in the next 10 years. This could lead to changes in the way that search engines rank websites, as they may place a greater emphasis on factors like mobile-friendliness and page load speed. Despite these potential changes, it is likely that the core principles of SEO will still exist in 10 years. The goal of SEO will still be to improve a website's visibility in search engine results, and businesses will still need to focus on factors like keyword optimisation and high-quality content in order to rank highly. However, the specific tactics and strategies that are effective for SEO may change as technology and user behaviour evolve. What is future ready SEO?Future-ready SEO is a approach to search engine optimisation that takes into account potential changes and developments in technology, search engine algorithms, and user behavior. A future-ready SEO strategy is designed to be flexible and adaptable, so that it can continue to be effective even as the digital landscape changes. To be future-ready, an SEO strategy should focus on the underlying principles of good search engine optimisation, rather than relying on specific tactics that may become outdated. This means prioritizing high-quality content, user experience, and technical optimisation, as well as staying up-to-date with industry developments and being prepared to adapt to changes in the way that search engines rank websites. In order to be truly future-ready, an SEO strategy should also consider the potential impact of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and the increasing importance of mobile devices. By taking these factors into account and staying flexible, a business can ensure that its SEO efforts will continue to be effective in the long term.

GET IN TOUCH ### Merry Christmas And Happy New Year 2023 Get In Touch! ### When A Recession Comes, Don't Stop Advertising In recent weeks, there has been some talk about an economic recession. When it comes is still anybody’s guess, but another business slowdown is inevitable. It would be the first since the “great recession” ended more than ten years ago. Often times when a recession happens, businesses, fearful of declining revenue, begin to cut back in various areas, including their ad spending. In the aftermath of the last recession in 2008, ad spending in the U.S. dropped by 13%. Broken out by medium, newspaper ad spending dropped the most at 27%, radio spending dropped by 22%, followed by magazines with a decline of 18%, out-of-home  by 11%, television  by 5% and online  by 2%. Nonetheless, there have been a number of studies going back nearly one century that point out the advantages of maintaining or even increasing ad budgets during a weaker economy. Those advertisers that maintained or grew their ad spending increased sales and market share during the recession and afterwards. As a popular adage says, “When times are good you should advertise. When times are bad you must advertise.” There are several reasons to advertise during a slowdown. The “noise level” in a brand’s product category can drop when competitors cut back on their ad spend. It also allows for advertisers to re-position a brand or introduce a new product. Brands can project to consumers the image of corporate stability during challenging times. The cost of advertising drops during recessions. The lower rates create a “buyer’s market” for brands. Studies have shown that direct mail advertising, which can provide greater short-term sales growth, increases during a recession. When marketers cut back on their ad spending, the brand loses its “share of mind” with consumers, with the potential of losing current – and possibly future – sales. An increase in “share of voice” typically leads to in an increase in “share of market.” An increase in market share results, with an increase in profits. There are a number of examples of brands that benefitted by maintaining their ad budgets during economic downturns. Dry Cereal: In the 1920’s, Post was the category leader in the ready-to-eat cereal category. During the Great Depression, Post cut back significantly its advertising budget and rival Kellogg’s doubled its advertising spend, investing heavily in radio and introducing a new cereal called Rice Krispies, featuring “Snap,” “Crackle” and “Pop.” Kellogg’s profits grew by 30% and the company became the category leader, a position it has maintained for decades. Imported Automobiles: The 17-month recession of 1973-75 was triggered by the energy crisis. In late 1973, the U.S. government issued its first miles-per-gallon report in which Toyota Corolla was second to Honda Civic in fuel efficiency. Since Toyota was experiencing strong sales, when the economic downturn hit, the temptation was to drop their ad budget, which they resisted. By adhering to its long-term strategy, Toyota surpassed Volkswagen as the top imported carmaker in the U.S. by 1976. Quick Service Restaurants: In the 1990-91 recession, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell took advantage of McDonald’s decision to drop its advertising and promotion budget. As a result, Pizza Hut increased sales by 61%, Taco Bell sales grew by 40% and McDonald’s sales declined by 28%. Technology: Amazon sales grew by 28% in 2009 during the “great recession.” The tech company continued to innovate with new products during the slumping economy, most notably with new Kindle products which helped to grow market share. In a first, on Christmas Day 2009, Amazon customers bought more e-books than printed books. As a result, in the minds of consumers, Amazon became an innovative company by introducing a lower cost alternative to cash-strapped consumers. Another strategy used by marketers is changing the ad message and using short-term price incentives to match the economic climate with consumers who are seeking a good deal. Some advertisers will offer interest-free loans, coupons or special promotions to boost sales and market share. When the economy bounces back, regular pricing can return. For some advertisers that don’t give cost incentives, they can change the ad message to being expensive but worth it. Another creative strategy is pointing out the value the brand provides. Although the natural inclination for advertisers is to cut back on advertising during a recession, those brands that maintain their ad budget and/or change their messaging can get a long-lasting boost in sales and market share. Perhaps the best quote about advertising in a recession came from Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart. When asked, “What do you think about a recession?” he responded, “I thought about it and decided not to participate.” Kickstart your digital advertising today with a no obligation call to our expert team.Source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/bradadgate/2019/09/05/when-a-recession-comes-dont-stop-advertising/#7cb8344e4608 ### How do you Improve the performance of Google Ads?

If your website is showing this warning message when anyone tries to visit it, then it is highly likely that your site has been hacked or some other bad agent has somehow pushed malware into your site’s software. This page will tell you all you need to know about how a website with malware can negatively affect your search rankings, outline how you can fix ‘this site contains malware’ messages, how you can get your site back into your control, and how to prevent it from happening again. To protect search users Google uses a tool called ‘Safe Browsing’ to prevent unwary visitors from clicking onto sites that may contain harmful programs. If a user tries to visit a site that Google’s Safe Browsing tool has flagged as potentially harmful, they will be greeted with a big red sign like the one above. Even though users can bypass the warning by clicking on the Details button, most visitors will quickly click off your site for fear of spreading the malware to their own system. If you see a big red message when you try to go onto your own website, it is a big deal as it means that someone else has likely forced themselves into your site, and they may now have access to your site and client data. It is critical to respond to a message like this quickly as if it is left alone, your website will soon start to be punished by Google in search rankings, and your usual web traffic will be negatively affected and hampered considerably.

This blog will explain to you the ins and outs of keyword research. We’ll give you an idea of exactly what keyword research involves, its importance, how to blend it with your SEO strategy, and how to find the optimal keywords for your site. What is keyword research?This is a process that involves searching for and analysing certain search queries that users input into Google, with the aim of using the results for a marketing purpose. That could be for SEO improvement or digital marketing in general. This research will find the popularity of certain terms, their ranking difficulty, whether you should focus on them, and other important marketing data. Why is it important?Keyword research can provide insight into the terms that your target audience is searching with on Google, and it reveals which terms are best to focus on for your brand or business. This information can decide your content and your wider marketing strategy. If your content is being put in front of your target audience, then you are likely to boost your website traffic. You should therefore target the searches that these people are most often using to find products or services like yours. With inbound marketing, the focus is on creating content based on what people are trying to find, which means that your audience is coming to you rather than you trying to seek them. The key to achieving this is effective keyword research. On a site note, when Google puts you up as a solution, this also places you as an expert in your industry, simply by being found. What are the benefits of keyword research?There are numerous benefits to keyword research, but some of the most popular benefits are: Insight into Marketing Trends: - Keyword research can reveal marketing trends and help you centre your content on relevant topics and search terms. Customer Acquisition: - If your site has relevant content that your target audience is searching for, you will be able to meet their needs with a strong call to action that will encourage them along the customer journey. Traffic Growth: - When you find the most relevant keywords for your website, you’ll rank much higher in search results for queries related to your content, leading more people to click onto your site. How do you do keyword research?The following list is a process for keyword research that will help you create a list of words that you should be focusing on. This will then make it easier to implement these terms into an SEO or digital marketing strategy, and your site will now be found via the keywords most relevant to you. But before we get into it, it is important to keep these following three key elements of keyword research in mind: - Relevance: make sure the keywords are relevant and that they meet the searcher’s needs. - Volume: make sure you use high-volume keywords that searchers most often use to find websites like yours. - Authority: enrich your site with good content as Google prioritises sources it deems authoritative. Now let’s get back to the question at hand: keyword research. First, create a list of relevant topics based on what your business or brand does and consider the topics that you want to rank for based on general terms. Come up with a list of 5-10 general topics that you believe are most important and relevant, and then use these general topics to create more specific keywords later on by repeating this process. If you are a blogger these will most likely be the things that you most often write about. It is important to put yourself in the position of your target audience, think about what kind of topics they would search for and that you want your business to be found by. Say you are a company selling digital marketing services, your general topics may look like this: - ‘SEO’ - ‘Email marketing’ - ‘Social media marketing’ - ‘Blogging’ - ‘Inbound marketing’ - ‘Lead generation’ - ‘Marketing analytics’ Second, fill these general topics with specific keywords. Since you have figured out your general topics, you need to now find search terms that relate to each general topic. These will be keywords that are important to rank for in the search engine results page (SERP) as your target audience will be using these words in their specific searches. Taking the general topic of SEO for example, you would brainstorm a range of search queries that people would use to search for that topic. This could include: - SEO optimisation tools - How to do SEO? - What is SEO? - Is SEO important? - Best SEO tools - Do I need SEO? The point of this step is just to arrange all of those phrases that you think your target audience might be using when they search for services or content related to that specific general topic. The list will be refined later on to make sure that your keyword use is straightforward and relevant. Yet, each day an increasing number of keywords are being encrypted by Google, so another clever method to come up with key terms is to look at which search terms your site is already being found by. To do this you can use software like Google Analytics, first look into the source of your site’s traffic and then look through your organic search traffic to discover the search terms that are most frequently being used to find your site. You can do this for each general topic, and you should be able to compile a list of terms that may be very useful for implementation. Additionally, you can also check with your colleagues in Sales or Service and ask them what terms customers are most often using, or what they are most often asking. This step can actually also be a good starting point for keyword research. Third, figure out how user intent impacts keyword research and analyse the results. User intent is becoming one of the most important factors in a site’s ability to rank highly on Google. It is crucial that your site’s content addresses the query that a searcher intended to find rather than just the one that they used. Keywords can have many different meanings, and because user intent is so crucial to how you rank, you must be careful with how you understand the keywords that you decide to implement. Say you want to write an article about blogs, and you choose to research the term ‘starting a blog’. Here, the word ‘blog’ could refer to a blog website or a blog post, and the searchers intent with that search will determine whether your article shows up. Is the searcher wanting to learn to how start a blog post? Or are they wanting to learn how to start a blogging site? If your content is targeting only people who are looking for the former, then you need to be sure of the keyword’s associated intent before you commit to it. To check what a searcher’s intent is, you can plug the term into Google’s search engine and see what results come up in relation to it. Make sure that the content that shows is similar to what you are creating and wanting to promote with that phrase or term. Are there keyword research tools?Indeed there are, and keyword research tools can be sometimes used by individuals. SEO and keyword research tools can show you exact match keywords and match phrases based on the content that you have created, and this can also help you think of more ideas. Two popular keyword research tools are: - Google Keyword Planner - Keywords Everywhere Can you do keyword research on Google?The short answer is yes, but you won’t be able to come up with exact word or phrase matches. However, if you are struggling to come up with a list of keywords that searchers might be using, look at the related search terms that come up when you input a phrase into Google search. After searching your phrase, scroll to the bottom of the first page, and you’ll see a list of options that relate to your search phrase. These suggestions can inspire other ideas for keywords that you may want to implement. What are the best keywords for SEO?It is important to understand that there is no such thing as the ‘best’ keywords, what is best for you is just those terms that are searched most often by your target audience. And keeping this in mind, it is then up to you or a digital marketing agency to create an effective strategy that will boost your page rankings and increase your website traffic. The ‘best’ keywords for your digital marketing or SEO strategy will also take into account the three aforementioned elements of relevance, volume, and authority. It is good practice to find frequently used and searched key terms that you can use in your content to be search-engine competitive. But this implementation will also depend on: 1. The competition that you are facing 2. The quality of your content If you are acutely aware of your competition and their level relative to you, and if your content is of high-quality and exceeds that of sites ranked above yours, then you will be in a good position to soon see better search result rankings. If you follow the steps that this articles has laid out, you should have a list of keywords that will help you centre on the most relevant topics that are related to your content and business. This list will help you achieve some short-term and long-term ranking, visibility, and search traffic gains. Make sure that you look over the key terms every so often, perhaps each quarter, but some people like to do this every other month or so, to check if they are still relevant and driving organic search traffic. As you rank higher and gain more authority in the Googles results pages, you will be able to add more keywords to your list to help maintain your higher search presence and boost future growth as well.

Video Transcript - And I just want to alert anyone in the LinkedIn environment to proceed with caution, even in environments where the trust level is actually increased. And I think LinkedIn would be one of those environments. Over the weekend, we had an approach from offshore in terms of somebody wanting Facebook advertising done, we'd gone through the process, I had hopped on to the number to have that WhatsApp call. So they took me from LinkedIn into WhatsApp in terms of having a continued dialogue. And once I was in that environment, I ascertained they wanted to meet up with me on Zoom, which again, set the cautious levels and to being less concerned because they wanted to do a face to face. And then they said to me before that meeting, what I mind taking a look at their proposal, so that I could then be prepared for the meeting. So when I looked at this, you will see that they said it was a PDF, but when I looked at it, it was actually a zip file. So my team and I looked at it a little bit more cautiously. And when we went into it, we could see that there were some image files, which we could see. But there was some weird looking files at the back end of this zip file that did not make any sense to us. So I've sent this off to my IT team this morning. And what they've come back to us with is that it does look like it was a phishing type environment. It may also look like there could have been things put onto my desktop, which would have run in the background. Obviously, they could put a little bit more effort into finding out what it is but the whole outcome is the file wasn't great. And this was a hoax and whether it was malware. Spyware a phishing exercise. Purpose of me sharing this with you is to be cautious of any approaches that may be made to you or your team in any online environment. Thanks guys.

Blogs, Web Copy, And Social Media Content Written For You By An AI – But Is It Worth It?Artificial Intelligence created content - sounds fancy doesn’t it? It sounds like The Future, capitalized and in flashy lights. The fact is, you’ve probably read AI created content and either not noticed or just thought it was poorly proofread. Most people who use automated content either don’t need to provide (or care about) valuable content for their readers – for them it’s about ad impressions and data mining. Or if they do want to give their reader a valuable piece of content, they spend significant time and effort correcting the content provided by these bots. Let’s have a look at the two biggest myths about AI Content Creation: Automated Content Myth: It’s QuickerQuicker only in the sense of getting a first draft in a couple of clicks – but you need to input a lot of information just to get to that point. Then you need to choose between proofreading, editing, adding, and rewriting sections yourself or hiring a professional to do those things for you. Why? Because most AI content tools – even the better ones out there – churn out awkward and grammatically chaotic paragraphs that might or might not make sense. For example, “Ice cream is an sweeter frozen meal that also is typically taken as a delicacy or as a snack or as an treat. It can be made with whipped cream or cows fresh milk and is seasoned with fruit for sweetening purposes strawberries or peaches, in addition to an sweetener like sugar.” This is a real AI generated sentence from a popular rewriter on the topic of Ice Cream. It might be close to correct – technically - but in terms of grammar and readability it’s far from acceptable. You can likely see the problem with posting something like that on your website in the hopes of projecting a professional, competent, and trustworthy brand voice. In addition to sounding unprofessional and needing significant editing, most automated content tools only produce shorter pieces of writing which barely cover the topic. This means that you’ll have to add a good amount of written content to make it worthwhile - which takes time. Automated Content Myth: It’s CheaperIf you’re happy with associating incorrect, poorly written, and devaluing content with your company then yes – you can get results like the one above cheaply. However, if you spend time fixing it or employ a professional to fix it? Well, consider the time you took to decide the topic, keywords you wanted to include, finding a tool that doesn’t make you worry about upping your virus protection, and then actually generating the post. Now, add that to the time you’ll spend fixing it! By the time you’ve done all that you might have written it yourself. You’ve used up an hour or more of your own time which would have been better spent on other aspects of your business. When you consider how valuable your own time is, what did it really cost you? For that, you could have paid a professional to write it in the first place. What about premium tools? Well, if you do want more control over the content created by the tools you’ll need to pay for a subscription or membership fee. These premium tools often let you input a lot more information for the AI to consider which might sound like a win but in reality, it just means spending even more time on this ‘quick solution’… …and then you’ll still need to spend time reading it before you publish it just to make sure this so called ‘premium content’ isn’t riddled with mistakes. What Does Google Say About Automated Content?Google is the premier search engine in the world. Even though others still exist and are used by people daily – Google is the main player. That means that anyone wanting to attract business through Google needs to care about what Google has to say about Search Engine Optimisation. Google recently released their Google Essentials and included these choice words about what they don’t like about AI Content. Hint: they also put these guidelines in the spam section, so that should tell you what they really think of AI Content. • Negative: content that makes no sense but contains many keywords • Negative: content translated through automated tools with no human input before publishing • Negative: content created through automation with no regard for the reader or quality • Negative: content generated using automated synonymizing or paraphrasing tools • Negative: content automated with information from data scraping • Negative: content pieced together from different sources without adding value So, according to Google, CAN you get away with publishing automated content? Sure, technically - you just won’t rank well in the results and your potential customers will never see it. Think you can automate content generation… think again.The SEO world changes every day and with more people turning to video for their information and voice search to get there, the world is changing faster than most CEOs and business owners can keep up with. Especially when they’re busy with other vital aspects of their business likes service delivery, inventory, staffing, and all the everyday activities that go into actually running a company. Which is where hiring experts whose whole job it is to stay on top of these changes in SEO, search trends, and the practicalities of getting your company seen comes in. Is there a way to automate content that is high quality?Sure there is - hire a content creator or digital agency who take responsibility for the SEO research, monitoring, writing, editing, posting, and updating of your published content. Our team at Net Branding curates handwritten, focussed, and valuable content that will not only help you rank in the search results but actually help you convert searchers into customers. We create Search Engine Optimised content that counts, results in better visibility, and helps the people who see what you publish trust your company. It might not be as Futuristic as having an AI write your content for you but it sure is the way to get reliable, plagiarism free, and high-quality content you’ll be proud to publish.

Video Transcript - I did a presentation this morning and thought it would be appropriate to actually bring you a few things in take away that people in the audience found of value. And that really covered some of what I believe are the myths and time wasters of digital in digital marketing. So what would they be let's think about your social media posts. Often when we do basic free posts on social media, they're not getting the extension of reach that we once had, you know, way back 12-13 years ago, when we did a Facebook post, most people who had connected with us would have seen the post, it's no longer the same and so depending on your digital strategy, I think there needs to be some thought around doing social media posts, and then advertising those posts so that they get the best value for you that you want and achieve your business objectives. The next thing I referred to in the presentation was boosting posts. Now we all know there's the little button that on a post that goes boost the post. Now if we do that, ultimately, we putting that advertising into Facebook's hands or Instagrams hands, rather than being strategic, around how we want that post to be published and how that post should be promoted. And so often I look at that blatant boosting of posts more as hope marketing, hoping that it rent lands up in front of your target audience hoping that it lands up in front of the persona you're trying to reach, but also hoping that it achieves your brand strategy and the things that you want him to do online. And so as as, you know, in terms of how we promote, we actually never use that high level boosting facility because we don't believe it achieves the goals that you need to achieve or our clients need to achieve for the advertising spend. The other thing about that is lives often people do Facebook Lives pretty much like what I'm doing now though, this isn't a live, this is a video. And it is a one hit wonder because it lands up in the feed and it has a very short life in the feed. So the question that I have, you know, myth or time waster? How do you take something which is value added content and ensure that it becomes valuable for you to move on with? download the live? Where else? Can you use it? Can you put it into a into an email out to your client base? What can you do with the material that you've created to extend the lifespan of that material? We often also hear, you know the myths and time wasters, build it and they will come. How often don't I hear when I've got a website, but I don't know how much traffic I'm getting. I've got a website, and I haven't been found, or I've started a podcast and there's no one there. All of those environments, in my opinion, need dedication and hard work. You know, if you've got a website, it's a little bit like raising the child, a child goes from newborn to whatever age they leave your key and possibly even then you still have some form of sense of duty and responsibility for them. And you know, at the end of the day, that's what your digital assets are as well, they need to be nurtured. They need to be built, they need to be cared for, they need to be watered, and only when you're doing the building and the caring for them, but it actually provide fruit to you. So ultimately, I talk about building resilient digital assets, assets that can support your business through second through seventh. And that needs work. So in a built it and they will come is an absolute myth. And then we've got the good old ebooks and downloads and PDFs. And again, I look at those as possible time wasters unless you have a really good follow up strategy behind it. So how often haven't you downloaded an ebook was the very good intention of actually working through that ebook. And with the intention of reading it later. And how often do you actually go back to reading that ebook? And so yes, you've shared your details with wherever you've got that ebook. But what are they going to do with it? And so, you know, myths or time wasters. If you're going to provide an opportunity for somebody to download something from your website, then what, what is your next step? And how will you maximize the fact that you've now got some data that you can utilize to connect with that person again? So those are some of my suggestions or thoughts around myths and time wasters and how you can actually get greater value out of the digital steps that you take for your online presence. If you've got anything that you'd like to chat to me about my name Cathy and I'd love to hear from you and if you'd like to visit our website feel free to do so it's www.netbranding.co.nz Thanks and have a lovely day.

Every single one of us is approached on numerous occasions by people trying to peddle their digital services. They send us emails, we find them in our inbox. They connect with us on social accounts, and they share all their experience and what they can do for our business. But let's look below the surface. I had good look at one of such peddler over the weekend. And what I noticed was, although he was offering a full refund, and although his claims were generating 6500 leads for somebody in 90 days, he'd filled my newsfeed multiple times through the period of two days. But his views hadn't changed. And effectively when I counted the amount of times that I've been on to his video to actually assess his promises. That's the level of views that were changing. So his videos were going to no one else but me. An interesting concept was I the only person targeted for that video, I somehow doubt. But more than that, when I then dug into his profile, it was a reasonably new profile. He didn't have much of a following. And he had very little engagement on any of his previous posts. And there was no consistency that could back up the claims he was making. So be careful out there, because consequences of choosing service providers that don't have the experience can have impacts on your business. But it doesn't only come to the world of Google ads or the world of social media. Let's actually talk wider than that. So let's talk about the digital divide and causes and effects, and getting it wrong. Another client was approached by a search engine optimization company, they could do so many things from competitor analysis to backlinks, etc, etc, etc. You've all seen the emails. So he asked me what I thought the first thing that I noticed was that the email that that correspondence had come from didn't match to the actual website domain. And then I had a few quick look at the website domain. And there were some severe issues on that website. Is that somebody that would be authorized and equipped to be able to deal with what do you need them to do? So again, dig deeper, the consequences of getting decisions wrong can be huge. What about those demands for payments? Have you hit one recently a huge demand for a Google payment. They say they come from Google AdWords. And they say that you owe their money. And they say that there'll be a high penalty if you actually don't fulfil that penalty and pay the account. Again, look below the surface. Most emails that come from Google should come from a google.com address. This one didn't came from a Gmail account. When they say that your account is in arrears. Is it really have you had a look at the Google Dashboard, have you looked at your accounts dashboard is really in arrears. And also the other giveaway that this was a potential hoax was the fact that it actually referenced a wrong currency in terms of the demand. So again, I ask you when you are solicited, or where you do receive unsolicited mail, whether it be for SEO, whether it be for Facebook campaigns, whether it be for funnel marketing, whether it be guaranteed whether, whether, whether, whether, whether, be careful. Because as I said at the beginning, the consequences of making an incorrect decision can have a huge impact on some of your online credentials, on some of your online digital assets, and the standing that you have in Google moving forward. If you do have any questions for me. It's Cathy Mellett from net branding be seen be heard be found online.

Net Branding can help with each of these steps to digitally cement your brand. We’re based in Auckland and have clients from across New Zealand, ranging from businesses to professionals. We help these Kiwis boost their search engine rankings, increase web traffic, and ultimately increase site leads. We’re always searching for new high traffic keywords to boost your search rankings, so contact our team today and get in touch with one of our SEO specialists. If SEO is new to you, don’t worry! These are some of the questions our digital marketing team is most commonly asked. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation, and it’s essentially the process of optimising your website to gain an increase in organic search engine traffic. The purpose of a search engine is to produce results based on the search query, or the keywords, that someone types in when they’re looking for a product or a service. Optimising your site content by including those words that are most often searched in relation to your particular product or service, will increase the number of customers that will click onto your site. Our SEO experts will work with you to determine these key words and produce a content strategy that best suits your business, and which will boost organic web traffic. How does SEO work? Search traffic from Google is the most effective way of getting relevant potential customers to find your website. And good SEO works by not only increasing the organic web traffic to your site by pushing your site up the search rankings, but it also improves your site as a whole with relevant and valuable content. Both of these factors will increase your site’s inquiry levels, your impressions, and any online sales. Because SEO does not need an ad budget it is also one of the most affordable and cost-effective ways to market your business and to increase customer inquiries. How long does it take SEO to work? This is the question our SEO experts get asked the most! And good SEO can usually take between 12 and 24 months to fully and effectively work. But you will see some positive results between 6 and 12 months after the content is implemented. Think of Google as a big database and your site as one entry within it. The way Google determines which entry is most relevant to a search is by scanning all entries and seeing how many times the keywords of that search appear. Once Google has figured out which entries have the most keyword density, the next factor for relevancy is the number of times that your site is mentioned in the content of third-party sites. An SEO term called backlinks. The more backlinks your site has, the higher your domain’s SEO authority will be. As you can imagine, this process can take time which is why the ultimate results can take up to 24 months to work. But rest assured, you will see progress along the way! Examples of our SEO success The images below show some our customer’s success working with our SEO experts and implementing an SEO strategy specific to their business. As shown by the red outline, these businesses boosted their search rankings and their site traffic after our SEO experts helped them implement a product or service specific SEO plan. Consisting of the most relevant key words and a focus on boosting backlinks and ultimately increasing organic site impressions. Why choose our Auckland based SEO team? With the meteoric rise of the online marketplace, effective business has only become more cutthroat. To survive and thrive you need to be up-to-date and always pushing for relevancy. You need a functional and engaging digital brand that appeals to everyone. You need to have impressive results and a reliable and loyal customer base to become a trusted brand. If these are things that your business wants to achieve, then you need a digital marketing partner that you trust and who can reliably deliver smart and effective strategy so that your site is optimised for increased customer activity. Being a good SEO agency is not about running through a checklist of boxes and trying to tick the same ones for each site.

Producing relevant content that meets the queries of potential customers goes hand in hand with being a search engine optimised site. But if you choose the wrong agency, you risk failing to achieve your desired business growth and delaying building a reliable and loyal customer base.

This is a common dilemma that many businesses, big and small, regularly face. And the answer to this question will depend on your business’ specific needs and your desired growth outcomes. But making the correct decision at the right time is crucial if you want your business and your brand to take off and achieve greater success. Online marketing is no longer a choice, it is a must have for any modern business wanting to expand their customer base and increase their revenue. But if you are still unsure about the impact of digital marketing, and unsure about whether outsourcing it is the correct step, then read on as the following reasons will highlight the benefits of outsourcing and hopefully help you make an informed choice about who you should outsource to. Top Reasons for Digital Marketing Outsourcing1. Expertise The first reason, and maybe the most significant benefit that a marketing agency can provide is expertise. You get access to a wealth of digital marketing expertise by dealing with technology experts with unique perspectives and who deal with digital media all day long. A digital marketing agency, like Net Branding, has worked with a variety of businesses of different sizes, and because of this we have developed an expertise when it comes to marketing. Our marketing experts see so much, and that depth then becomes experience-based action for your business. This also means that our team likely knows techniques and marketing strategies that your in-house team may not know about or recognise the significance of. This includes things like access to databases and established connections, and this knowledge means that getting an effective marketing strategy off the ground will be that much easier. Outsourcing your digital marketing provides you access to expertise and resources from experts, and we can help you utilise this experience to benefit your business goals. 2. Cost-Effective The second reason is cost-reduction, when you outsource your digital marketing, you are far more likely to end up with a much more cost-effective online marketing campaign. When your business outsources their digital marketing, you will end up saving significant expenses, which could include things like hiring and training costs, infrastructure and equipment costs, and admin and technology costs. Say you wanted to build website and run an effective SEO strategy, you would have to hire and train web developers, content writers, and editors and programmers, not to mention the investment in new equipment and tools to create the right infrastructure for this team. A great aspect of outsourcing is that you do not have to cover all of these expenses. When you engage a digital marketing agency like Net Branding, you gain access to all of the experts that make up our team. 3. Skip the Learning Curve This leads to third reason, which is skipping the learning curve. If you did decide that your business would rather handle all of the digital marketing in-house, then you would be facing a massive marketing learning curve. Even if you have marketing experience this remains true, as you will still need to learn more about how effective business strategies work and what this would look like for your specific business goals and company desires. An expert digital marketing agency like Net Branding does not have that issue. We have managed so many different digital marketing campaigns that our team will be able to identity what will work best for you and what the best approach to this collaborative strategy will be. Digital marketing also requires a bit of experimentation, and this is something that Net Branding has many years of experience with. Trying to tackle this in-house will only lead to ineffective strategy and further costs down the line. 4. Tools and Resources We now come to the fourth reason to outsource, and that is that digital marketing agencies have access to better online marketing tools and resources for managing your advertising campaigns. These tools can range from email management software to SEO analytic software, both of which can provide a massive boost to your marketing campaigns. As optimising email and web content is essential for growth. Another aspect of why this reason is significant is that it ties back to the benefits of cost-cutting. Your business may be able to cover the expenses for a few marketing tools, but its really unlikely that your budget allows you to purchase the range of digital marketing tools and resources that an agency can offer. Net Branding’s team of technology experts understand just how to utilise these digital marketing tools to best suit the needs of your business and can start comprehensively building your brand to help you competitively thrive. 5. Time-Effective Coming to the final reason to outsource, and that is that outsourcing your digital marketing can free up a lot of your time and allow you to focus on the other pressing concerns regarding your business. Even if you have marketing experience and a handful of digital marketing tools, it can be tempting to thing you don’t need to outsource. But what it ultimately boils down to is time. Net Branding has the time to focus on your strategy. Which frees up time to let you focus on other components of your business, as it’s simply not feasible to spend your own time running online campaigns as you’ll be drawing time away from another important component. With a multitude of responsibilities, you’ll only have limited time for digital marketing. This issue disappears when you engage an agency like Net Branding, as it is our bread and butter to devote plenty of time to your digital marketing strategy. Allowing you to spend more time on the other key aspects of your business. Take that step! So, with this list of reasons and their benefits, there is no better choice than to take that step and outsource your digital marketing. Hopefully the question of who you should outsource it to is also clear. Net Branding has a team with a wealth of experience, a proven track record, countless positive testimonials, access to the most cutting-edge digital marketing tools and resources, and a clear plan of action.

The Voice Search Trend: How to Optimise Your Content For Voice Search Online.What is this voice search I keep hearing about? Does voice search apply to me?Voice search is the ability to activate the microphone on their device, ask a question, and be given an answer – and this doesn’t just apply to Siri and but also to other virtual assistants! Voice recognition has come a long way since shouting ‘pay my bill’ down your phone at an automated operator just to try and speak to a customer service rep – in fact, Siri (Apple’s voice assistant) reported a 95% accuracy rate as long ago as 2015. With people using speech to text for a huge range of reasons including multitasking, accessibility, injury prevention (no more RSI from typing!), and avoiding unnecessary touch points in a post-pandemic world - over half of smart device owners now use voice search for simple questions or virtual assistance. Hands covered in bread dough? “Hey Google, how long do you knead bread for?” Stepping into the shower and don’t want to be late? “Hey Siri. Set a timer for ten minutes.” Already running late for your flight? “Alexa, is there a clothes store at the airport?” Voice activation is not science fiction anymore. But what does the rise of voice search mean for content creators?Well, like most technological developments, the increase popularity and reliability of voice search means more Search Engine Optimisation on the list for content creators and website owners – that’s where this list comes in. Can you search by voice on Google?Sure can - you need to select one of the various voice assistants available to do so! Okay but how do I search Google with audio? Most phones will have a microphone icon on the keyboard somewhere, tap that and speak, when you’re done it will process your sentence and search for you. The most common way that people search on Google is through voice assistants, though, so optimizing for that is key! How do I turn voice search on for my website!?How you turn voice search on for your personal phone or computer will depend on your device - generally you can turn on or off your voice assistant through the settings. As a content creator though you need to do three things to start out 1. Determine the Business Goal 2. Determine the type of voice assistant or voice search you want to integrate with. 3. Determine a plan so that you can interact with it. SEO for voice searching is vital – especially if you’re offering a solution to a problem! Understanding Types of AssistantsWhen it comes to voice search SEO there are four different types of assistants that will return voice search results and allow you to do voice searches. Google Assistant Amazon Alexa Microsoft Cortana and Apple’s Siri We need to understand all the four voice assistants pull information in different ways and from different areas. Google AssistantThe way you make changes and optimise voice searches using Google assistant is using something called Google Actions, and there is a Google Actions Console. Google Actions Console allows you to make changes or store certain kind of information in a kind of app that works with google assistant, so that you can return information from it. Amazon AlexaAlexa has something called Alexa Skills, Alexa skills allow you to build an app that works with Alexa. Microsoft CortanaMicrosoft Cortana has a voice-activated assistant that returns information, it actually works with Alexa, So you cannot make anytype of app that works with cortana. The way you do it is by making a skill that works with Alexa. Apple SiriFor Apple Siri, you use Apple shortcuts, in the Apple developer kit. There are three key things to understand Voice Search SEO1. How is voice search SEO different from traditional SEO? Traditional SEO prioritised keyword frequency whereas voice search tends towards answering a specific question in a sentence. See what we did there? If you were looking for the name of a famous museum in Paris, you might type “museum Paris” but if you’re asking Cortana (Microsoft’s virtual assistant) you’d be more likely to say, “Hey Cortana – what is the big museum in Paris called?” While the results may show the same answer – The Louvre – the voice search results are more likely to use a source that answers conversationally. For example, “The most famous museum in Paris is The Louvre” 2. Why is clarity so important in voice search SEO? Because users are looking for an answer not a fifteen-minute long read. Of course, your site still needs to be detailed and complete but by providing clear and concise answers to your searchers questions you are far more likely to be selected. 3. Has voice search killed technical SEO? Not at all - just because the user interface is more conversational doesn’t mean that the algorithm isn’t paying attention to your schema markup, page structure, short and long tail keywords, load time, or backlink behaviour. Will voice search change everything?Unlike some advancements like DVD taking over from VHS, voice search isn’t likely to become the primary search method. Can you imagine sitting in an office where people only voice search? Or a bus full of people voice searching their daily headlines, the weather, their medical symptoms? Can you see yourself making serious decisions like which mortgage to choose based on a one-line response from a virtual assistant? Not really. There’s always going to be a place for in depth discussion and detailed information, but that doesn’t mean you should be sleeping on giving people the quick and concise answers they’re (literally!) asking for.

The web designer should also make sure that there are enough white spaces on the web page so that each section of the page can stand out and be seen clearly. This will make it easier for readers to consume the content on the website. There should not be too many images or videos on the same page because this will make it more difficult for users to find what they are looking for.

So let's lower the emphasis on a Covid focus on your website pages and let’s increase the element of fun, experience, outstanding service, community, and destination on your web pages. 3. Website SEO Optimisation, Yes SEO, but SEO from a topic perspective. It's never too late to include a page that targets tourists & visitors. Check your website speed. Google likes a fast website but so does your website searcher. You really want to provide a memory making experience, not a lag that causes a website visitor to retreat and click on your competition’s Google search result. 4. Create a community and a destination. You might want to consider recommendations to neighbouring businesses. Creating content around this could help provide an interesting, attention-grabbing blog. Using social media ads can help provide a great atmosphere with related businesses and create a wider opportunity for engagement and awareness. 5. Social Media Advertising and Google Ads management. Where are the tourists heading to NZ from? It is predicted that the first wave of tourists will be reuniting with family and loved ones. Why not plan some affordable social ads or Google ads for those target markets? You could become their destination, experience, and shop of choice. 6. Support Local, Shop Local. Visiting Auckland, Christchurch, Queenstown or Wellington from offshore. We’ve missed you and welcomed you back to our New Zealand City, Town or Suburb. Make it all about local support. 7. Analyze your web stats. Keep track of the data. Use this data to see the location of your visitors and figure out what they want when they visit your site. Relevancy for traffic targetting and a great deal of insight will flow from this data analysis of your Google Analytics and Conversion data. Use this information to help target Ads, posts (SEO'd for your website or on social), and social content. 8. What about a focused special? A deal of all deals to welcome customers and tourists back. A free muffin with your cappuccino? Perhaps collaborate with another local business.  Shop here and get a coffee voucher to use at the local coffee shop. That business could do one in return. 9. Encourage tourists to come back.  Show them what they can expect when they return. Share some of your reviews with them so that they know that you are the destination for optimising their travel experience. Be confident in knowing that you're something special for tourists. Remembering a destination may be a physical shop or an online experience before it's time to say goodbye and head home, with new and special memories made. 10. Take a video of your favorite places.  Share local experiences.  Your audience will be curious to see what you shared with them! Comment below to share your tourism and website retention tips with the community so that we can welcome website visitors with open arms and provide the ultimate experience to all our much-needed tourists.

And I thought I'd make this video about what we've seen in some digital agencies. And I use a comparison of a cook and a Chef. So let's say a cook, for example, knows how to cook a meal, and good cook a really good meal, and they know what to do the things. Whereas a chef not only knows what to do, but actually why you do it, and how to look past when things change. And in the digital space, things are always changing. So we're always looking to change what we see in some cases, and some agencies, they have cooks. They have people that have been through a course or two have gone a little knowledge but they don't look past the actual real things. And that's a common element. This is a lack of experience is a lack of actually understanding what to do and why when things change. So it's Paul from Netbranding today. -------------End Video Transcript ----------- So How Do You Choose a Digital Agency To Work With? Here are simple ways to start the process: 1. How long have they been around and how much experience does the team have? Recently we had a member from another agency makes comment on a client, only to find out that this person had done a single course and their previous role had been a retail assistant. From "Retail Assistant" to Digital Marketing Consultant in a single jump! 2. Do they Talk about "Funnels" and "Online Automation"? Good buzzwords in the industry at the moment, but these are nice to have and don't always contribute to business growth. If you are a small to medium business, you may have different Goals. Hom many leads for new business to you want? What are those leads worth do you? do you have a process to convert them? 3. Are they in Large Expensive Office Space? Who pays for that? Large corporate clients...If you a small to medium business you may be in the wrong place....hang on to your wallet and run! 4. Do they drop into fancy words like CTR and Adrank and make you too afraid to ask what they mean? You shouldn't need to learn another language to understand what is going on with your marketing. I once worked with a large client (Million dollar plus) and reporting had to give executable data only in plain English. This should be every client regardless of size. 5. Do they Produce Long Complex Reports? My favourite! Long reports make the writer feel good about how smart they look to the client, especially with the client is paying fore the report time, rather than getting the work done. Bonus: In the report ask this question "What does that mean?" - If they can't explain in simply then they don't understand it. So my final note. marketing takes testing, and testing takes time and money and measurement should be in every part of it Rant over :) Paul Easton Digital Production Manager Get In Touch! ### Q&A with Net Branding Limited: Digital Marketing Essentials for Businesses Net Branding Recording - Digital Marketing Q and AQ: Can we do Digital Marketing ourselves? How much time should we put into Digital marketing? A: There is always the possibility of doing it yourself, obviously there is some skill associated with doing it and there is some learning associated with doing it. So, when we sit in such a situation with this skill and the learning, it's about really questioning if that's the appropriate use of your time. Q: Does it matter if you are on first page of search A: There is a definite advantage of being on the first page of a search engine result. We often say that those who live on page two or three of a Google search are largely hidden. There are multiple ways of getting onto the first page of a Google search. 1. Search engine optimization: can bring your website up in search results, Also known as organic or natural search. ( Includes Videos & Images) 2. Paid Search: Gets you onto the first page of the search, by paying a certain fee to the search engine companies. 3. Google Business Profile: The 3-pack of local listings, also considered to be organic. There is value in being on the first page of search, if someone is looking for your business or brand, they will find you because your website will come up for the brand search they are looking for. But if the visitor is searching for something like a mortgage advisor or a real estate agent (search keywords), your website may not be showing up on the search results page, even if your page is relevant to the search term. Q: Do you need a social media channel for your business? A: It can be difficult to keep up with all the available social media channels. Do you use TikTok? Clubhouse? Are Twitter Spaces useful for your brand? You might think that jumping on every new platform will give you more exposure, but it might not actually result in any traffic. When setting up your social media profiles, it's best to strategically choose the most suitable for your business. A social media strategy can help you determine which social media channels/platforms are most appropriate for your needs. Here are a few points to bear in mind before you sign up Do you need a social media channel for your business? Yes, in some scenarios. It depends on the use-case. To some extent, the decision on whether to get on social media heavily depends on a number of factors. These may include how much time will be required to continually engage with followers and maintain a good reputation. If your goals, audience and KPIs all align without social media, then you may be doing OK without it. But if you want to increase exposure or reach new customers, then you should consider at least one social media channel. Social media is a powerful tool for engaging with customers and building your brand. It’s not difficult to set up and allows you to find new customers, contact old ones, stay in touch with competitors, receive feedback from your followers and keep an eye on the competition. Things to consider when choosing a social media channel 1. Goals: Is your goal to Increase Brand awareness? Sales/lead generation? Engagement? Growing audience? Web traffic etc. 2. Resources: Do you have dedicated team to manage all the social media channels you want to be on? Can you dedicate enough time to each media channels? Etc. 3. Content types: Did you plan on content type? (Text, images, videos, live videos, or stories) 4. Audience: where are your website referrals(can check in web analytics) coming from? Do you know who your target audience is? Was target audience defined? 5. Competitors: Do you know where are your competitors promoting themselves? Do you keep track of what they do to manage their social media profiles/ engagement? There are more than 15 social media channels to choose from, How do you choose the relevant ones for your business, Ask the above questions to narrow down your options. ### Available Business Grant and Support Package for Auckland Businesses Activate Tamaki Makaurau.

Rebrands As Meta To Stress ‘Metaverse’ Plan Facebook name change - In order to emphasize its "metaverse" future, Facebook has re-branded as Meta. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the company is rebranding itself as Meta to accommodate its vision of the future - what Zuckerberg calls the "metaverse." As the name suggests, The Facebook Papers were leaked by a consortium of news outlets including AP. Some sceptics believe it's an attempt to change the subject away from these papers etc. Many documents, first described by former Facebook employee Frances Haughen, have revealed how Facebook ignored or dismissed warnings about the negative and often harmful consequences its algorithms caused. Facebook, which owns Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger, will keep its corporate structure the same. On December 1st, 2021 their stock price will change to "MVRS" "Facebook has been accused of creating something that is harmful to people and society," says marketing consultant Laura Ries. She compared the name Meta to when BP rebranded to "Beyond Petroleum" to escape criticism that it harmed the environment. "They can't walk away from the social network with a new corporate name and talk of a future metaverse." Zuckerberg has described the metaverse as a virtual environment that's created by an AI. Think of it as the internet brought to life or at least rendered in 3D. Basically, it's a whole new world for people who use virtual reality and augmented reality headsets. There are endless open worlds you can explore with other people. Analysts say that e-commerce giants will continue integrating social media and other aspects of our online life. Victoria Petrock, an analyst who follows emerging technologies, says Facebook will present the option to purchase items directly from story feeds. Other companies such as Microsoft, Nvidia and Epic Games have also been outlining their own visions of how this future will play out. When Rich Kerris, vice president of Nvidia's Omniverse platform, was told about Facebook's new name by a reporter today, he gave the following quote: "That's cool." "We think there will be lots of companies building fantastic worlds and environments in the areas outside of reality, in the same way there are many companies doing things on the World Wide Web.” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been talking up the near-term future of virtual reality recently, and his latest prediction might make you hyperventilate a little. Zuckerberg predicts that the metaverse will reach billion people in the next 10 years, and he says it might get there even faster if enough people work together to develop content & products for it. The announcement follows Facebook's struggle with lawmakers and regulators over the past few months due to revelations in the Facebook Papers.

We offer a selection of services to help you with risk management after you have finished with your website build and deployment. With us, your online presence will never be jeopardized. Website backup reviewA website backup is created by storing a copy of the live site in case there is a major issue with the site. The backup files are typically stored on a remote server that can be accessed by entering username and password credentials. If there is an issue with the website, then an administrator can easily switch to the backup instance of the site. Website backups are important for websites that have crucial data or client information. Why should I do a website backup?A website backup should be done to protect your data or client information from getting lost or corrupted in case of a major issue with the live site. For example, if your website is hacked, then you can restore it to its previous state using a backup file instead of rebuilding it from scratch which takes more time and resources. Website backups can also serve as a security measure by protecting your data from being stolen by any third parties. Website backup's work in three ways: They can serve as a security measure for external attacks. They're useful in the event of a system outage, such as a power outage. They can also protect against internal corruption or error that may result in data loss. ### Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp down in global outage. How to manage your risk? Businesses that rely heavily on social media for lead generation are at risk. The social platform outage this week (WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram) may have highlighted this aspect and it's something that our digital team at Net Branding have often discussed in previous videos and blog posts. What are you doing to reduce the risk in a volatile and changing environment? Do you have a backup plan?What other digital assets are you using to keep connected if one of your platforms disappears or revamp their rules of engagement?If you are keen to explore this for your business, contact us for a no obligation chat. Get in touch with Netbranding ### Website Speed Tips that Boost Ranking, Conversions, and ROI Why Website Speed Matters for SEO and Organic ResultsSpeed matters because it is a factor in what Google measures to rank pages. It also impacts the customer experience, which can lead to increased conversions. Website speed is a significant ranking factor for Google. It can affect your organic search rankings and conversion rates if your site loads too slowly, or not at all. How is website speed measured?The speed of website is measured by loading time which in turn affects the customer experience when visiting a site. If the page loads slowly or doesn't load at all due to slow connection, then this could lead to potential loss of conversions for that company as the user may feel frustrated and leave without browsing any further. The Importance of Website Speed for BusinessesWebsite speed is one of the most important factors for SEO. It impacts your website's ranking on Google, and ultimately how many people see your content. Website speed also influences how you're perceived by potential customers. If your website takes a long time to load, you'll lose visitors to other sites that load faster. Customers will think that your business is outdated and no longer professional if your site takes too long to load. The average internet user has a short attention span when browsing online content, so it's important for websites to be fast and responsive enough for visitors to get through the page quickly without getting bored or frustrated with the content on the page Website Speed and SEO - What You Need to Know?Your website speed is a critical factor in how well you rank in the search engine. In fact, your website speed can be a game-changer for your SEO and has been found to account for between 20-70% of the ranking process. A study by Incapsula found that a 1 second delay in page load time would cause an 11% loss of revenue. Due to this, it is crucial that you work on optimizing your website speed so that it would be fast enough to meet the minimum user experience standards set by Google. Website speed optimisation starts with server performance metrics such as response time and server downtime. You should also focus on improving page load times with techniques like content delivery networks, browser caching, image compression, and browser caching. Website Speed and Ranking FactorsWebsite speed is one of the most important factors for SEO. This is because Google has confirmed that it will be using site speed as a ranking factor. It's not just about how quickly your site loads but also how quickly your pages load. What is a website’s page load time?Your website’s page load time is the amount of time it takes to load a web page. The faster a website loads, the better chance that a visitor will stay on it. The average web page load time for a desktop computer is 8 seconds, and for mobile devices it’s 9 seconds. This is how long visitors have to wait before they see your content and decide whether they want to stay or go. How to Improve Website Speed? Our 6 Tips.In this section, we will take a look at some of the things you can do in order to improve your website's page loading time and rank higher in SERPS. 1. Minimize the number of requests your browser makes to load a website with fewer server calls. 2. Optimize images used on your blog posts as well as other elements that are large in file size or use a lot of bandwidth like videos to reduce load time. 3. Enable compression on the server-side. 4. Compress images at a minimum quality setting for your content type. 5. Use Google's PageSpeed service. 6. Cache static resources on the server side 7. Minimize redirects. Website Speed - The Key to Your Success of Being Seen, Heard and Found OnlineOur Website Speed Ranking Case Study. Maximize Your Marketing Results with a Fast WebsiteIn today's digital world, a fast website is essential for any business.

Now is not the time to take your foot off pedal Play video above. Afternoon, this is Cathy Mellett. Coming to you from Net Branding. We are in lockdown in New Zealand. And it's probably an appropriate time to think about the digital can-do’s that you can do for your business. Whilst we're in lockdown mode. Often the risk, in my opinion is taking your foot off building your digital and online presence. Because now is the time that you possibly have a little bit of space in your day-to-day operations to be able to focus on what is important for your business. I'd also like to take an opportunity to introduce you to myself and my team. As I said earlier, my name is Cathy and I've been in the IT space, for many, many, many years. I've also founded Net Branding Ltd in 2009, which really was at the forefront of this entire digital marketing environment. And, that’s where the main Net Branding came from. Because I realised that I was marketing businesses and branding them in an online forum – so Net Branding is what I was doing. I'm ably supported by a technical team of key experienced technicians and digital experts, that being Harsh, Paul, Parwarsha, and then our extended net branding team that will work on our clients’ projects. The focus of this video is to support you in being responsive and proactive as we navigate our businesses through locked down, with the focus on your business coming out stronger, from a digital perspective. What can you do, as a lockdown should really increase your focus on building your online presence? 1. Google Reviews and Online TestimonialsThe first thing to think about doing is get some Google reviews, contact those clients that have promised Google reviews to you and ask them to generate a Google review and place it in the Google My Business environment. For those that don't want to do a Google My Business Review. What about asking for either a written or a video testimonial. 2. Social Media Content PlanMy second tip is start thinking about your social content plan. Start thinking and planning for the month ahead. We are in August, and really Christmas is almost around the corner. Plan and prepare that social content plan. And for those immediate posts, start sharing them across your social environment. 3. Create Videos and Be Brave. Load them to YouTube or other social streaming platforms.My third tip is created videos and load them, just as I'm doing with this video to support you. What can you do to support your clients in their day-to-day operations in their day-to-day business life or as an in consumer, how does your product support your end consumer, create those videos and load them in now's the time to load them to YouTube, load them to your digital environment and load them to your website? My tip there is - be cautious about loading too much heavy content on your website. So as an example, I'd always be loading a piece of video to my YouTube channel and then sharing the link through my website to support speed of my website. 4. Monitor your digital footprintPoint number four, monitor your digital footprint, search for both your business and possibly even your personal name because perhaps now is the time to ensure that your footprint and how you represent your brand in the open market and in the online environment is as you want to present you are your brand. 5. Be found where people search - SEOTip number 5 is really to be found where people search for what you do. We typically talk to that as search engine optimisation (SEO). And that is the concept of applying keyword techniques to boost your organic ranking. But the idea is to really focus in on looking at your online content. An easy place to start is some of those frequently asked questions that your clients typically ask of you. Think about those and write a little bit of content around those questions. I'd like to thank you for listening to this video. If you do have any questions. I have left my phone numbers and details on this close off slide. Again, my name is Cathy Mellett from Net Branding, Be seen Be heard Be found Online. And you can reach out to me at https://netbranding.co.nz/ Thank you very much.

We are working from home, juggling the multi aspects of our lives and faced with such large levels of uncertainty. As business owners, we also have wider issues of concern that relate to our businesses. But, in our bubble, our young people are also experiencing greater online time. It is therefore important to keep a barometer measurement on your mental wellbeing. In a recent NZ Herald article, it was stated that:- • Some 36 per cent of people went so far as admitting to being addicted to their screens and 17 per cent blamed their addiction on the pandemic. • But turning to the internet is not making everyone feel good, with half of those surveyed saying it was affecting their physical health and more than a third saying it also affected their mental health. • The increased screen time made 22 per cent of respondents feel bad about their body or hurt their self-esteem. It had also led to more people feeling anxious and depressed. The I’m Enough Charitable Trust is focused on supporting our young people and those that care about them. Below you will find a link to the I’m Enough Website and their Lockdown Support page. Information, Book Downloads and Videos on this lockdown and digital wellness page includes - 1. A free download to Cathy Mellett’s book – The Hidden Epidemic, Surviving Social Media. 2. Lockdown with Siblings – Shared by Dr Fran Brinn 3. Shut-in lockdown – Shared by Dr Fran Brinn 4. Who do you let into your world? By our Youth Ambassador, Caitlyn 5. Pornography in Lockdown – Shared by Dr Fran Brinn 6. Be awesome! And raise yourself to believe it with Cam Calkoen Your lockdown support and wellness packWhat could happen if we gave each person the tools to diminish their anxiety, reduce their fears and build a collection of resources to achieve true resilience?

Website Bounce Rate: Should You Be Worried? But let's start with a question about website bounce rate;- What is a bounce rate? The term "bounce" refers to the percentage of visitors who leave your website after viewing only one page or simply the percentage of visitors who leave your website without taking an action (e.g. filling in a form or clicking on a link). Why do website visitors leave a website? Visitors can leave a website for many reasons. For example, they may have seen what they wanted to see or may not have found what they were looking for, or perhaps if coming off a banner advertisement, they clicked on the link for interest, but they don't currently have a buyer intention to interact or engage with your brand just at the moment. Bounce rates are an important metric for marketers to consider, but this should be placed into perspective. It can be assumed, rightly or wrongly, that the higher your bounce rate, the more likely it is that your message is not resonating with your target audience. With this information, you'll be able to create content that will keep visitors on your site for a longer period of time, will give you a better opportunity to convert them into leads or customers. Alternatively, you may rank for a high, all-encompassing type of keyword, e.g. vehicle. But the person is looking for an EV and you don't sell those. Well, this search could result in a bounce. But what if the person clicked of social media or an advert image but currently does not have any conversion intention. They may not stay long. However, longer term, this brand awareness could then drive a conversion. In addition, there are justified pages that may have a high bounce. This could be the contact page, as an example, where the intention is to find a phone number. How To Improve Your Website Bounce Rate? A well-designed website is not enough to get people to click on the links you want them to click on. People make decisions based on their emotions, feelings and user intention. Therefore, it is crucial to keep these elements in mind. 1. Get rid of the clutter on your landing page 2. Optimize your website for mobile devices 3. Review how users are navigating your site.

GET IN TOUCH ### COVID times - Let’s support one another with kindness As we all know, the COVID-19 has impacted every corner of the world and over the past 6 months, we all have been living uncertainty around what is going to happen with our future. While at the same time we are feeling the kind of fear that we have never felt before. As we move forward with our day to day activities and try to cope with this unexpected incident, I have had a few people reach out to me, people who are having a hard time getting back to a form of normal.  A recurring question that I am asked is, -  what should they do as a business when it comes to their social media posts and updates over the next few months? There is no right and no wrong answers in this matter. I can only urge you to do what feels right to you. However, I will share my experience and thoughts on how I, as a business owner and a person, am coping with this pandemic. We now know for certain how stressful the events of this situation can be, sadly, we can’t predict how long would it take the world to be in place again. We have been seeing on the news for the last months how many countries are struggling with more new cases. Not to mention this last outbreak that we are experiencing in our nation of New Zealand. I personally have been impacted with the loss of a friend in 2018 to a murder, a close family member to suicide, the passing of loved ones during this pandemic and other close friends and family who have had a COVID diagnosis. This world is a sad place with so many worldwide atrocities taking place each day (some are not even covered by the media). But this is New Zealand! We are worldwide known as being one of the lead countries in developing appropriate strategies for handling the COVID-19 challenges. This is a place that cares about people and their wellbeing. This unexpected event impacted our health, our routine, our economy, and our plans. But it didn’t break us. It is only bringing us together as a nation and united communities to stand together and be safe and kind. Moving forward into the second week on level 3 I believe, in these uncertain times, we need to hold to what makes New Zealand special. We need to come together as a nation and work together to keep going daily. No one wants to go back but the reality is... it is not over. What do I know to keep going? As hard as it may be of all of us to get back to normal, we must at least try.. We need to be strong and work on building a strong economy for New Zealand. People make businesses and our businesses, large and small, make our economy. Why? Because through a strong economy we will be able to help each other in recovering from any impacts this pandemic may have brought. So, when thinking about sharing information about the COVID-19, ask yourself the following: Will this content motivate and support my community? Whether it be a social media post, a news item for your business, a product launch, a media release or a general day to day activity, I would urge you to stop and ask yourself the following question: “Will this show the world who we are as a nation, am I standing in the space of a positive belief and solid virtues that I hold close. Is what I am doing or sharing kind, caring, and considerate? Will this make New Zealand stronger and help me or my business support the New Zealand economy?’’ I know these are hard times, but I strongly believe that if we work together as a community, if we stay local and support each other, we can beat this together. Let’s make your business (and ourselves) stronger to give back to our nation and grow New Zealand and most importantly, let’s support one another with kindness.

You can focus on other vital functions, while the specialist takes care of the website marketing. With a web agency, your business will scale towards getting real-time benefits. Here are the reasons why you should hire a dedicated Google Ad specialist. Reasons Why You Should Hire A Dedicated Google Ad Specialist 1. Time-Saving When you outsource a dedicated ad specialist, you will save valuable time. A specialist will create compelling marketing campaigns that will generate leads for your business.  Your ads specialist team will only focus on the marketing campaigns, thus developing a thorough understanding of the company’s consumers. They will know exactly what needs to be done and how to promote your products. 2. Defined accountability  Hiring a top interactive agency will not only save you time but also, will be accountable for the results. Google Ads specialists will be more of an extension to your business’s in-house marketing team. That way, a system will be put in place that will ensure you get results and feedback. The team will be accountable for the campaign budget put in place. A dedicated remote team will be responsible for data monitoring, testing of the campaigns, etc. Since the specialist knows that they’re responsible for the outcomes, they will display more commitment towards their projects. 3. Expertise in Demand Online marketing nowadays requires the use of different disciplines. This includes social media, content planning, content creation, automated activities, website design, and many more. Using such marketing strategies involves doing many keyword research, SEO strategies, campaign performance analysis, and Ad auctions. Hiring a dedicated digital interactive agency means they will work on their areas of excellence. You will allocate an experienced project manager who will ensure the Ads specialists seamlessly work together to generate returns.  4. Enhanced Productivity One of the advantages of outsourcing experts is to increase productivity. When you have a clear objective of what you want to achieve, you will spend less time recruiting, training, and managing a new team. Hiring a dedicated team will ensure your company gets optimum productivity. Hiring Ads specialists will ensure this by focusing all their efforts only on your company’s marketing activities. The team will focus on PPC campaigns, lead generations, website development, and many more. Hiring a dedicated remote team will quickly adjust to your current needs instead of you rethinking the whole operation. The process is flexible since you can only hire on-demand. 5. Stable Partnership Hiring dedicated Ads specialists will be part of your in-house department. You will be able to create long-term relationships with Pay-Per-Click specialists. Having a stable team that is committed will make your business grow faster. Ads specialists need little scheduling, and if you have the right communication tools, you can easily communicate with your PPC team regardless of the time differences.  6. Monitors Click Frauds If you don’t know much about website marketing, it is possible you can’t monitor click frauds. A web digital agency will be of value to your business because they can monitor long files and stats. With their knowledge, the specialists can quickly identify suspicious click fraud and block them immediately. Although search engines do block click frauds and perform audits, you can’t entirely rely on them. Hiring one of the top 10 digital agencies will guide you on what you can do even to earn more. Final Thoughts Investing in an Ad specialist will save you time and the efforts of managing the PPC advertisements. Their knowledge and experience can increase the success rates of your campaigns, thus increasing conversions. Instead of spending all your time managing adverts, hire our experts to effectively manage your adverts. GET IN TOUCH ### Cutting through the minefield of digital   As I meet with new clients, I know that the social media, digital marketing, and website industry is overrun with many distractions as well as illegitimate experts. Often terms are used in presented and accepted proposals, but these terms are not defined. What does this really mean the deliverables will be, and how do these fit into your long term strategy? The common statement is: "I bought my website, and the company in charge said they would do SEO for the following year. I paid them in advance for all their service but have no idea what they are doing, and I cannot even find my website!" Or "We will make purposeful errors on your content material and social posts to bring attention to your brand." This suggestion can tarnish a brand forever and is possibly the worst advice I have ever heard.   So much to juggle!!! As business owners or senior advisors, we can find ourselves overwhelmed with new social tools, new funnels, ad strategies, website technologies, new recommendations and more. Working through this swamp to identify what is best practice can feel like a minefield. Not to mention the sheer volume of content that you are processing, the social demands and the lost opportunity of not being strategic in how you approach your online presence.  But we know that digital strategy is essential, and your online presence is critical. After all, the last year of 2020 has undoubtedly highlighted the importance of being online and doing it efficiently.  I said this 12 years ago, and I have constantly repeated it since then. Content creation is still king, but coordinated content creation backed by a solid website presence is essential. An online platform where all your digital assets work together to drive long term success. Therefore, there is no time like the present. Stop wasting your hard-earned month and formulate a co-ordinated strategy that will work.   For a no-obligation digital discussion, please connect. Are you ready to take your online presence to the next step with a digital partner that has your back? Kind Regards Cathy Mellett Be seen, Be heard, Be found Online. GET IN TOUCH ### 20 Ways to Improve your B2B Social Media in 2021 20 Ways to Improve your B2B Social Media in 2021 Social media for B2B boomed in 2020; this probably had something to do with the pandemic restricting the availability of in-person meetings, conferences, and trade shows. Google has revealed that B2B brands turn to social media and digital spaces more than ever.  People are finally realising the power of social media for B2B, and in fact, it is more powerful than they think. The cardinal rule of marketing is: go where your audience is. Business owners, large and small, buyers, even middle management, use social media in their off-hours. Business owners are more likely to be personally invested in their company focus, which means they are likely to seek out and engage with businesses that they could utilise professionally.  There are many hours outside the working day; your B2B brand should be advertising then as well. Because that is what social media is for brands – advertising. This doesn't mean to rush out and sign up for every social media site and pour 40 hours a week into making content for every single platform or, worse, recycling the same 3 pieces of content across 7 platforms. It means finding the platform your target audience uses and carving out space for your brand.  Cathy Mellett of Net Branding has always emphasised the benefit of B2B Social Media. We wanted to share some ways that you could embrace this in your business.  How to use social media for B2B in 2021? It's simpler than you think.  B2B brands may still be assessing how they should use social media. Over the following 20 strategies and tips, you may find some additional pointers and learn that social media isn't just for B2C.  1. Branch Out From "Professional" Social Media. LinkedIn is great, but it isn't the only platform where professionals congregate. B2B buyers go home after 5pm, they relax on Facebook, TikTok and Twitter. TikTok is a particularly interesting platform for B2B brands because business users have carved out their section of the app to commiserate, promote, and talk about their business.  Just picture it. Your B2B brand starts a TikTok talking about all the problems your products solve. Then somewhere in the deep depths of #smallbusinesstiktok a hugely popular user post a vent video about a particular situation. Another user who has seen your videos comments, "have you seen @yourB2Bbrand? They do this." Not only does a primed and ready to buy business see your brand, but so does every other similar company that sees that video. That impact doubles, triples, when that original user acknowledges from you, you solve their pain point, and then they post about how amazing it is.  And no, TikTok isn't just for funny dances and 12-year-olds. TikTok reported 689 million TikTok users internationally (monthly). There is an ever-increasing number of older users, business users, and brands on TikTok who have realised that their customers are there.  That means that your B2B customers are there too. 2. Utilize Retargeting  Retargeting on social media platforms is easy. You don't even have to encourage your viewers to come back and buy what they were looking at. With retargeting Google and other social media platforms will do that for you.  Additionally, presenting free, downloadable, and cheap introductory products is a great way to get potential buyers into your sales funnel. 3. Stop Focussing on Cold Promotion Yes, social media is advertising but only in its application. At its core, social media is a connection. Using social media to connect to your B2B audience will do half the work for you. You no longer have 45 seconds of an ad spot or 150 words in a magazine. You have a face-to-face meeting where the other party is relaxed, engaged, interested, and is actively looking for more content.  Social selling is effective and can bring in a huge number of sales. Cold messaging – like out of the blue messages from strangers on LinkedIn and awkward Instagram DM's – do more damage to your brand than not having a social media presence at all.  By engaging your target audience in conversations about your shared industry, you develop a relationship that will spill over into purchases.  This is the difference between posting: New envelope sizes available today, bulk discounts on inquiry.  And What part of packing orders is your favourite? Your least favourite?  The former says – we have something for you to buy. While the latter says "talk to us, we are in your industry and understand." It gives people the opportunity to flex their comedy skills, humble brag about their order numbers, and commiserate with others who love or hate the same aspects of running a business.  Most importantly, it gives you a chance to jump on the replies and say, "oh, you hate X? We have a product for that. Let us know if you want a free sample."  The added bonus is that by engaging with businesses who actively use social media, you increase the likelihood that these businesses will talk about you on their social media. You've just doubled your social media reach with one connection.  4. Figure out Account-Based Marketing.  This isn't just for the big players anymore, your B2B brand can benefit from ABM strategies too. by engaging in broad ABM you will help the algorithm to show your brand to the people you want seeing it.  5. Have Sensible Goals  Everyone has seen those "100,000 followers in a WEEK!? Thanks to you ALL!!" posts. Unfortunately, those are very much the exception to the rule.  Setting social goals is a good thing because it will keep you on top of your social media game, but focussing on the quality of connections is more important than the number.  Similarly, having conversion goals is a good thing because you won't spend hours on something that doesn't work, but don't let conversions be the only metric for post success. If you create value, create a sense of community, and engage with your target market – that post has contributed to conversions even if they have not immediately clicked through and placed an order.  Set goals like: - Showing your fantastic customer service to existing and potential buyers - Cementing a positive reputation for your brand - Increasing community engagement with your brand 6. Do Better This may sound harsh, but if you are creating half-hearted or forced content, you won't be seeing any of the benefits of social media marketing, which will make you even less likely to put the effort in, which will lead to: less engagement and results. It's a sure-fire way to enter a vicious circle of apathy. Think about the type of content your showing potential buyers. Awkward interviews with employees who don't want to be there? Or well-curated, informative videos and infographics that are useful and fun? Are all your posts about how incredible your product is? Or do you talk honestly about the best application of your product? Being seen as honest and authentic on social media is essential.  7. Pay Attention If someone says something, listen. This is important on a microscale – the relationship between your company and that person – and everything you say on those pages is visible to every user.  Even more broadly, check out the conversations people online are having about you. Using platforms like Reddit, Quora, and Facebook groups, you can see what consumers are saying about you and your competitors – you may be very flattered, or you may find out some areas where you need improvement.  While one is infinitely more pleasant than the other, both are vital for developing your brand. 8. Be You Yes, you. If your brand is young and fun and targeting businesses run by people who are also young and fun brands – you guessed it – let your social media reflect that.  If your B2B brand is all about environmental awareness and creative businesses, adopt that voice in your social media copy.  If your B2B brand targets stern and politically informed businesses, maybe skip the funny outfits and viral dances.  Put together a list of attributes you want your brands' social media to embody, give your social media manager a list of things you want to strive to emulate and those you want to stay away from.  9. Be Human Your B2B brand is run on the people you employ, right? Well, the exact same thing is true of any other business. Making content that features people who actually work for you - even if this is just you, a brief "hello", or an ongoing joke "Mike's our accountant, he doesn't like being on video but he's over there," – humanises you to your potential buyers. It shows that you aren't a faceless corporation out for profit at all costs, you're a team of people who believe in what you're doing. Social media is about connection, so connect.  10. Celebrate Your Workers If you employ specialists in their field, they may have their own professional or semi-personal social media. Build on the humanisation factor and tag the relevant people. Did your graphic designer do an incredible job? Celebrate them. This can be simple, "this amazing infographic made by @OurGraphicDeisgner" or a celebration post showing that person's best work and making a point about how your brand is a team of people working to achieve something you all care about.  11. Use Your Social Presence to Highlight Your Customer Base This is what really matters to your buyers – how your products are used and liked by their peers (your other customers). There are several ways a B2B brand can use social media in 2021 to engage existing customers. This could be something as simple as a shout out, tagging them and saying thanks for being an amazing customer.  Giveaways, freebies, and other competitions are also an option: tell us how you use X product in your daily process to win a free sample of the new Y product, Use #yourB2Bbrand  These get your customers posting for you, showing you to their audience – hundreds, maybe thousands, of potential customers that you've spent fifteen minutes and one sample pack to get in front of.  12. Get Your Video Content Working for Your B2B Brand's Social Media In 2021 Video is the way to go. Blogs and articles are great and useful for information-heavy topics like this discussion, but a video is the best way to get people fired up and interested – especially on social media.  This could range from 60-second information bombs on TikTok, to beautifully produced aspirational and inspirational interviews or mini-documentaries. If you say that you are particularly focused on helping small businesses get off the ground, maybe work on a series of interviews with small businesses and their entrepreneurial journey? This type of series would create emotional connections with your target audience, tell them (without telling them) that your B2B brand cares, and do what you say you do – care and focus on small businesses.  Don't forget that when loading your video to YOUTUBE, you should remember your Video SEO. It works the extra effort. 13. Customer Service is Key All businesses know or should do by 2021 that your customer service is the most important aspect. Even if your product is second-best if your customer service is phenomenal, customers will choose you over the #1 brand that refuses to answer emails.  Consumers are using social media more than ever to air their customer service issues. This may well be terrifying to a business owner, to have their problems broadcast for the world to see, but don't "panic delete" just yet. Use every "problem" as an opportunity to show that you back your product and will do what needs to be done to make it right. Your B2B clients will see others being treated fairly, a brand that believes in their product, and trust you all the more. 14. Branding Is Just as Important on Social Media as It Is for Other Marketing Use your brand colours, you chose them (or paid a marketing specialist to choose them) so use them to their fullest advantage. You want your Instagram feed to look, overall, like it belongs to you. Even if the posts themselves are individual and standalone, they should all look good next to each other.  Whether you achieve this through branded frames, a particular illustrative style, or a filter that moves photos towards your brand image – make sure your posts look like you.  15. Be Likable, But Don't Be Bland You won't be everyone's cup of tea, and that is ok. If your B2B brand is socially conscious and involved in political commentary, you really won't be. However, engaging in current affairs article on your social media will align you with the type of people you want to do business with.  That's not to say 'be controversial for the sake of being controversial", quite the opposite. Your social media should reflect you and your brand, and those you want to do business with - attracting trolls won't help you achieve that.  16. Be Proud, Don't Boast There's a time and a place for talking about yourself and how much good you do, and as a business that time and place can be "occasionally, on social media".  Your B2B brand on social media in 2021 needs to feel authentic – so don't brag about the bare minimum, be proud of the extra lengths you go to.  Grants, foundations, company initiatives, above and beyond minimum expectations – these things make you stand out.  17. Relevant Contests and Giveaways As a B2B on social media, your goal should always be to connect with your potential customers and their peers. When you run giveaways and contests you encourage people who already know you to promote you to their following, people who've never heard of you to look into your business to see if they could use your prize, and you improve your image with both.  Prizes can be specific to you – free samples, 20% off their next order, a free consultation – or non-business related – a spa package or online gift card. 18. Partner Up Bring some different brands into your posts. This will double your reach as well as provide your followers with something to interact with. Choose a complementary and team-up brand to provide a giveaway or deal – book us both and get 20% off, for example.  19. Your Ad Budget Isn't Just "Ads"  ROI on advertising can be low for B2B brands, especially on social media platforms. This is largely because getting in front of the relevant people can be a total gamble. Learn how to use the targeting – and retargeting – tools that ad managers offer.  It might seem to counter-intuitive to have hyper-specific ads, target narrow, or spend more money on creating the ad than you would normally. However, targeting the exact people who need a specific product with a phenomenal ad is better than showing a "just ok" ad to a lot of people who may (or may not) need your brand.  20. Expand Your Output Podcasts and other audio-based media is booming. Having branded audio output is a great way to provide value for your customer base. You don't have to have a hyper-specific podcast about your business and your industry; you can pivot to something your customer base is interested in. This will provide existing potential customers value when you cross-promote on your social media but get your name in front of people looking for podcasts.  Interviews with entrepreneurs, AMA's with leaders of the industry, highlighting diversity within your industry – think about what your customer base wants to listen to and provide that for them.   Bonus Tip for B2B Brands On Social Media: Connect With People On Your Platform!

This is her trademark sentence and it says everything about what her agency does. I’ve known Cathy for many years and we don’t always talk about what she does for her day job and business as there is so much to talk about with this talented woman. So in this interview I was thrilled to talk to her specifically about her work, her charity and her new and upcoming book. I’ve been very impressed with Cathy’s response in her company over this past year, and the responsibility that she feels for her clients. She is in the trenches with her clients, and talks about what to put in place for moments of lockdowns and uncertain futures, as well as how to maximise your presence and business online to help us ride the waves. Since we are more online than ever before, her company is a very handy resource to have in your business toolbox. When we discuss her imenough charity, we hear how it is poised to help parents navigate the pitfalls of a generation that is more online than offline. As Cathy says, we have all these mini influencers putting their own brand into the online space, but she saw how ill- equipped our children are to cope with the false sense of identity that is created in this space. Coming from the background of having a digital and strategic agency, she knows both sides of what faces our children in this digital age. It isn’t all bad, but the rising tide of anxiety is real. If you have ever wanted to help your child navigate the gloss of the internet vs the reality of life, look up this charity. imenough.co. “We are possibly building one of the most connected yet disconnected generations” Cathy Mellett This episode was meant to come out prior to their fundraising initiative which Cathy talks so beautifully about. We had a few things to finalise so didn’t release on our original date to help them get the word out. I’m enough is an amazing amazing initiative and in my opinion they need more funding. If you or someone you know is interested in hearing more about what they do, and how they can help you or your organisation, please contact imenough.co or myself and I will pass along any queries you have.

Whether you are a parent or a grandparent of tweens and teens, it’s more important than ever to be aware of the impact that around the clock technology has on young people, and in today’s podcast episode, Cathy Mellet, along with Natalie Cutler-Welsh, join me for a conversation around this very subject of how parents can raise their children to be resilient and safe in this new world of technology. Did you know… A 2017 study of over half a million 13 – 18-year-olds found that the number of those exhibiting high levels of depressive symptoms increased by 33% between 2010 and 2015. In the same period, the suicide rate for girls in that age group increased by 65%. Coincidentally, smartphones were introduced in 2007 and the use of tech in every day lives of children and teens would forever be changed. Cathy is the founder of the I’m Enough charity, and has paired up with Natalie to create a video series as part of fundraising initiative, to help them reach many more Kiwi families, to support them in helping their kids become resilient and empowered as they grow up in the digital age. At the time of writing, donations are still being received and they need your help! (The fundraising drive will end on Feb 28th) 100% of the money raised will be going towards creating digital and physical resource packs available free to schools, parents and counsellors etc, as well as getting speakers into NZ schools to share tips and insights on topics covered in the video series.

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. When you search for a term and a list of websites show up – that is the result of SEO! By making sure that the copy on your website reflects the products and mission of your business well, when search engines scan your website it can categorise your site correctly and know which people to show your website to. How Does SEO Work? In essence, Search Engine Optimisation allows you to structure your page with keywords in titles, headings, and the body of the text. When search engines like Google scan your page it picks up when you use certain words. Knowing that your website is relevant to this collection of words, the search engine shows your website to people when they search for those words. Why SEO and not Traditional Marketing? There is nothing wrong with traditional marketing - everything has its role to play. Just think about this: When you buy a static advertisement like a billboard, it will only be seen for as long as you pay for it to be there. Even if 1,000 people walk by it – maybe only 2 or 3 are actually in need of your business. Now imagine if you had that billboard permanently, but able to update it whenever you liked. Most importantly, imagine that every single person who saw that billboard was actively looking for a business like yours! In fact - imagine if every person in the city who needed a business like yours, was shown your billboard. That is what Search Engine Optimisation does with the internet. What is SEO when it’s good Good SEO is almost invisible to your customer – it flows and camouflages with your copy. It allows search engines to deliver your website to potential customers who are thrilled with the results. This increases your reach. It brings in new and well-matched customers. It shows your company to people who may never have heard of you otherwise. In short, good Search Engine Optimisation takes your business to the next level. …and what is when it’s bad? Everyone has seen those twenty-word long product titles on online market places, this is the most obvious form of bad SEO but is also one of the most common. Keyword stuffing and other outdated SEO techniques can even get your website ignored entirely by the search engines, limiting your potential customer base significantly. This is just one of the reasons why hiring someone to manage your SEO is a good idea – they can keep up to date with the latest developments in SEO best practices and keep your site ranking! Why Hire an SEO company Auckland? While the “rules” of SEO are pretty much global, you want someone who knows the Kiwi mindset and attitudes. You want your customers to relate to your company, and the best way to do that is to hire a local SEO company (AKL!).

General stats:       Views by country: Find out the demographics of your visitors using this feature.       Referrers: Dissect your audience even further and find out what sites are sending traffic to your website.       Today’s stats: All the stats-number of visitors, page views, comments, likes, and shares- for a particularly selected day.       Search engine terms: This is probably one of the most important stats and explains what queries your web users are using in the search engines to find your website. Why Web Analytics matter? Your business depends on your website visitors and as such, learning about their behaviour is crucial. Here are a few reasons why web analytics matter: 1-     Evaluate your current content Just by analyzing the behaviour of your web-visitors you can measure and evaluate the success of your current marketing strategy. Finding out the most popular posts, the optimal times for posting content, where your traffic is coming from can actually lay grounds for future success. 2-     Optimise your content to gain more traffic Knowing what’s attracting the most visitors, you can fine-tune your existing content strategy and focus on content that is bringing you the most traffic. You can also leverage SEO for that matter too. For example, if you are a SaaS solution provider and get the most traffic on how-to articles, you might want to focus on adding more of that sort of content. After all, the sales will come if you actually solve the problems of others. 3-     Device a winning social media marketing strategy Mastering web analytics is also a great way to device a winning social media marketing strategy. For example, if your business is focusing more on Facebook but web analytics is showing that you get the most traffic from Tumblr, then you might want to change your existing social media marketing strategy and focus more on Tumblr. Taking Web analytics to a whole new level: While the basic WordPress “Stat” feature does offer some great insights into website visitors, if you want an even detailed analysis of your audience then you must consider installing Google Analytics. Starting up with Google Analytics is pretty straightforward and all you need to do is just install the plugin and follow the instructions to integrate the tracking ID to your website. Once the setup is done, Google Analytics provides real-time marketing analytics of your website and provides a long list of useful stats that you can look into. For example, with google analytics, you can monitor the bounce rate of your website and analyse how you can improve the average time spent by a visitor. You can also learn about the devices your audience is using and then optimise your website even more for that particular device. Whether you run a start-up looking to make a name for itself or an already established business looking to expand, the importance of understanding web analytics cannot be overlooked. Mastering web analytics and producing content that resonates with your readers, you can turn your website visitors into loyal customers and can take your business to a whole new level. Alternatively, if technical knowledge is not your thing, you can always take the help of an expert like Net Branding, to analyse your web analytics and devise a winning content strategy for you.

The first one of the digital marketing strategies you should consider is visibility. Your visibility is about understanding how your competition is doing. It is mostly about understanding all the elements of your website, including your domain name, your site structure, your visibility, your customers, your competitors. Are they looking for you or performing against you? So, visibility becomes a critical area that you should focus on in your digital strategy. 2) Your Search Engine Optimisation Where would you be if our websites are found only on page 10 on Google? Hardly anywhere in terms of that organic flow! Means visitors are not able to find your website in the first’s searches, which means you could seriously lose some customers. And if you are on the 10th page, then obviously there are other strategies that you would need to implement to bring your business into the first pages. But then, SEO and SEO services would become an essential element to consider. 3) Is your pay per click? When we talk about pay per click, we can speak of a multitude of environments, but mostly, we refer to your Google Ads. Naturally, you can do Bing ads, social media ads, banner ads, image ads, video ads and more. But your pay per click is possibly a strategy for you to consider for your online business success. 4) Content marketing We have spoken about content marketing for probably the last 12 years (if not more). Content is king, and websites with content 'are loved by Google'. But its not only about writing lots of meaningless content. We recommend to employ somebody or if you are going to do it yourself, ensure that the content has a structure to it so that it gives Google a clear outline as what you are hoping your website to be found for. 5) You email marketing Often, we talk about bringing people to our website, connecting with people, bringing new leads through to the website. But what about these people that you've dealt with already? Or that you've already had some connection with? Don't forget about your email marketing as one of those areas for digital marketing success. 6) Social Media Social Media it's only been around for 12 years, but is a large element of that digital strategy. Think about what platforms you intend to use for your online connection or reach in this environment. 7) A great website! What does a great website mean? Consider choosing a website that looks clean and clear. Should have some great immigrant on with one that is well designed, and with one that has been tested for funnelling and low conversion. These are just some tips to think about around your website and your website's performance in that online space. 8) Video SEO Over the last four or five years, we've spoken about video SEO. This practice is all about creating videos that are found on YouTube and search results or in the terms that you would need. At Net Branding, we have a solid reputation for creating those find-able videos in that online space. Consider one last step through a proper digital marketing strategy: integration. It is not worth it if you follow these steps in isolation. Think about actually connecting them all to ensure that they're all working together to support your business.

Changing your domain and rebranding is very exciting, but the practicalities are not always fun. Rebranding websites without losing SEO work that you have already put in can be time-consuming, the process can be risky in terms of your current rankings, and things can go wrong at almost every step. However, there are steps you can take to minimize these risks and make the whole process a lot less stressful! Take the following SEO tips into consideration before migrating your website. Tip 1: Keep Your Existing Authority in Mind What is the impact of your current domain authority on your rankings? Your existing domain name has backlinks, and it is seen as established – changing that domain name can cost you credibility online. For example, a company that Net Branding has worked with recently lost 75% of their traffic due to rebranding and transferring their website to a new domain name. Tip 2: Check Out Your Analytical Data from Your Existing Website Make sure that you are migrating the stuff that works! Take a look at the backend of your website and learn what is and is not working. When you examine your website SEO, you will start to see patterns of user behaviour, these successfully optimized pieces of content need to come with you to the new domain – without losing SEO. Tip 3: Have a Brand Strategy Ahead of Time Having a strategy in place in terms of SEO for rebranding can make or break your website migration! When you make yourself aware of problems before they arise, you can stop them from happening or take care of them quickly when they pop up. Tip 4: Get Some Website Migration SEO Guidance Before Making the Change Get some technical advice before making the move. Migrating a website can be technically complicated, and proper guidance can stop you from going through some tough times in the future! It's better to plan and focus on mitigating some of those potential downfalls rather than dealing with those issues in hindsight. Tip 5: Get an expert to give you SEO advice for website redesign and migration.  SEO is continuously changing, and website migration SEO can be a tricky task. Having an SEO expert on your side can make a world of difference! Reach out to us here at Net Branding, a New Zealand based leading digital marketing agency. GET IN TOUCH ### 11 Social Media Marketing Hacks That (Actually) Work Everyone wants to grow their social media followers these days. It’s a great way to sell products and services. The key is finding ways to attract your ideal audience without spending a fortune. Below, we’ve chosen 11 social media marketing hacks guaranteed to increase your followers. You can increase your brand awareness and reach your target audience with these hacks. If you’re ready to get some real tips that work, just read on!   Hack #1: Set Up Your Social Media Accounts This is a basic step that every entrepreneur should take right at the beginning. Choose the right social media networks, then optimize them specifically for your target audience. That way, you’ll begin to attract the right followers…people who will engage with your brand. Remember that in the world of social media, each network attracts a particular type of consumer. Once you understand this, you can more easily target those consumers with a specific message that will appeal to them personally.  Below are the top 4 social media platforms along with their primary users: YouTube: This is a great platform that you can use in multiple ways. Here’s the breakdown of demographics by age:  90% of 18–24-year-olds use the platform. 93% of 25–30-year-olds use it. 87% of 30–49-year-olds use it.  Note that YouTube users are primarily millennials who use YouTube’s recommendation algorithm to decide what to watch. Over half of its users are men. Mobile devices are the preferred medium. Facebook: These users are mostly adults in the medium to high-income bracket. Over fifty percent are women. The majority browse on their computer. Instagram: This platform attracts a younger audience with higher education. Females are more prevalent on the network than males. Like Twitter, they have a large international audience. Twitter: Twitter has a big international use-base of adults in higher income brackets. There’s a fairly even split of males and females.  Hack #2: Set up a professional-looking page with appropriate photos One of the most important social media marketing hacks. Optimizing your Social Media profiles is important to get right. If you feel you need it, then get professional help to set this up. The most obvious optimizations are the images you use. Make sure your header and profile images are the right dimensions for the specific site network. Header Image Sizes Below are the header image dimensions for the Big 3 social platforms: Facebook Cover Dimensions: 820px by 312px Twitter Header Dimensions: 1500px by 500px YouTube Channel Art Dimensions: 2560px by 1440px As you design your header image, make sure it sends the right message to potential followers. It might be an image of your team. Users need to see the face of your business. Sometimes a high-quality collage of your products/services is a good way to demonstrate who you are and what you’re all about. Choose an image that will be instantly recognizable across all social media networks.   Hack #3: Share the content your Users want to see Stay in touch with what your users are involved in, including what they watch on TV, what they wear, where they go, what they eat, etc. When you know your audience that well, then it won’t difficult to bring the content to them that they’re interested in. Users will stay most consistently involved if you’re appealing to their needs, wants, and desires. Hack #4: Un-tag Yourself from Inappropriate Content To give users get the best impression of your business, be careful about the content that you’re tagged in. If the content is irrelevant to your users, they’ll be less interested in following you. If it’s too political, has adult content that could be inappropriate, or includes any racism, then you risk turning off your users and turning them away. Offensive content makes you look like an amateur, but it also gives people a bad impression of who you are. You risk losing followers and damaging your brand. Hack #5: Make Your Content Specific to Each Network It can be tempting to post the same things across all networks just to save time etc. But look at the demographics for each platform. The audiences expect to see different content on Instagram than they would see on Facebook. Remember that audiences now are more sophisticated about social media. Let’s take a look at each platform: Instagram users appreciate high-quality photos, image quotes, and heartfelt stories. YouTube is an all-video platform where you can find music, podcasts, and the best cat videos around. People love YouTube so take advantage of that by creating amazing videos to post there.  Facebook users tend to favor personal messages back and forth with friends. They also like blog post links to interesting stories. Games, riddles and short videos do well there. Twitter is well-known for its short personal updates from users. Links to good blogs, news updates, and GIFs also do well.   Hack #6: Share popular stories, events, news, and videos  Stay on top of what’s happening each day with relevant stories, links, news items, and videos. When stories unfold across the globe, consumers will start looking for content. Make sure they can find that on your platform. For instance, maybe a favorite actor died, or a popular singer was admitted to a drug treatment program. Maybe there’s a new movie coming out soon or a TV show that everyone enjoys is coming back. Since this can be a time-consuming job, it’s often best to hire someone to handle it. They don’t necessarily need to be a social media guru with a high price tag. The job of surfing the news each day and pulling out the important stories is not that difficult. Hack #7: Optimize your content with your high-ranking keywords Start by optimizing your social media profiles. Then make sure all content is fully optimized including your website. This is an important first step towards more followers and it will ensure that you have high click-through rates. The bottom line for many entrepreneurs is making a sale and that’s what good SEO practices can do for you. Work on the content you share. Make sure it fully addresses the needs of your consumers. What types of things are relevant to your followers? What are their primary pain points or needs? Hack #8: Good analytics You need to find out what content is doing the best. This is something you should be doing regularly. Try some plug-ins for WordPress such as MonsterInsights. This is a Google Analytics plugin that gives you an actionable report of your top-performing posts. It offers lots of great information about your categories, tags, and more. Plus, you can view all this right from your WordPress dashboard. If you have a Squarespace or Weebly site, you’ll find similar tools available on these platforms. If you aren’t sure how to properly set up Google Analytics on your WordPress site, you can find a tutorial online about this or just hire a freelancer to handle everything for you. Hack #9: Repurpose Popular Content Once you get busy, you’ll realize that you simply don’t have time for everything you’d like to do. Repurposing old content that has done well in the past is a great way to keep your content refreshed. You’ll save a ton of time and you’ll find that this is a cheaper option in the long run because your writer won’t spend as long on rewrites. You can still offer your readers high-value content which is the key to getting more followers. Below are some suggestions for repurposing your content: Turn written content into podcast episodes. Transform popular blog posts into hands-on guides with actionable steps. Create case studies that highlight the advantages of your products/services. Simplify long or complex content by turning it into infographics. These offer smaller, bite-size information readers can easily understand. Write an ebook and offer it for free on your site. This will help you get a good email list. You can compile information from your site or old blog posts.  Use top-performing blog posts to create a free course teaching your audience a valuable skill. Take excerpts from old blog posts and turn them into a series of interesting emails. Hack #10: Share Visual Content Videos outperform all other types of content, so why not give people what they want? You’ll need a good scriptwriter and a company that makes videos. Be sure to include this in your marketing budget. Visual content is rapidly gaining popularity. People are searching for funny, interesting, unique, and unusual videos to share with their friends. Don’t forget that visual content can include other formats besides videos: Animated GIFs Humorous Memes High-quality images Instructional videos Emojis used to convey emotions Graphs consolidating information Hack #11: Discounts & Promotions Last but not least of the Social Media Marketing Hacks. There’s a holiday about every six weeks in America so take advantage of those to offer specials, discounts, 2 for 1 deals, etc. Give people a good reason to visit your site and make a purchase. And make it fun. Use a little humor with your promotional ads. Make them interesting and relevant to the holiday. Imagine it's President’s Day. You could make fun of a past president in your ad. It’s easy to use relevant language for the holiday. Suppose it’s the 4th of July. Your ads could include “Skyrocketing Savings” in the content or images.  Ready to try these Social Media Marketing Hacks?  If you work it right, you can make your business a success. All the tools are online now, but many just don’t know how to use them. Try hiring freelancers from a few of the popular freelance sites to help you. If you don’t know how to find the right keywords, then hire somebody to do this for you. The same goes for writing blogs, emails, or ads. Freelancers are a great idea because they’re not full-time employees that will expect vacations, insurance, or bonuses each year. They’ll work hard and do a good job because that’s how they earn a living. Try these Social Media Marketing hacks by yourself and let us know (or not) how your business goes after.

While at the same time we are feeling the kind of fear that we have never felt before. As we move forward with our day to day activities and try to cope with this unexpected incident, I have had a few people reach out to me, people who are having a hard time getting back to a form of normal.  A recurring question that I am asked is, -  what should they do as a business when it comes to their social media posts and updates over the next few months? There is no right and no wrong answers in this matter. I can only urge you to do what feels right to you. However, I will share my experience and thoughts on how I, as a business owner and a person, am coping with this pandemic. We now know for certain how stressful the events of this situation can be, sadly, we can’t predict how long would it take the world to be in place again. We have been seeing on the news for the last months how many countries are struggling with more new cases. Not to mention this last outbreak that we are experiencing in our nation of New Zealand. I personally have been impacted with the loss of a friend in 2018 to a murder, a close family member to suicide, the passing of loved ones during this pandemic and other close friends and family who have had a COVID diagnosis. This world is a sad place with so many worldwide atrocities taking place each day (some are not even covered by the media). But this is New Zealand! We are worldwide known as being one of the lead countries in developing appropriate strategies for handling the COVID-19 challenges. This is a place that cares about people and their wellbeing. This unexpected event impacted our health, our routine, our economy, and our plans. But it didn’t break us. It is only bringing us together as a nation and united communities to stand together and be safe and kind. Moving forward into the second week on level 3 I believe, in these uncertain times, we need to hold to what makes New Zealand special. We need to come together as a nation and work together to keep going daily. No one wants to go back but the reality is... it is not over. What do I know to keep going? As hard as it may be of all of us to get back to normal, we must at least try.. We need to be strong and work on building a strong economy for New Zealand. People make businesses and our businesses, large and small, make our economy. Why? Because through a strong economy we will be able to help each other in recovering from any impacts this pandemic may have brought. So, when thinking about sharing information about the COVID-19, ask yourself the following: Will this content motivate and support my community? Whether it be a social media post, a news item for your business, a product launch, a media release or a general day to day activity, I would urge you to stop and ask yourself the following question: “Will this show the world who we are as a nation, am I standing in the space of a positive belief and solid virtues that I hold close. Is what I am doing or sharing kind, caring, and considerate? Will this make New Zealand stronger and help me or my business support the New Zealand economy?’’ I know these are hard times, but I strongly believe that if we work together as a community, if we stay local and support each other, we can beat this together. Let’s make your business (and ourselves) stronger to give back to our nation and grow New Zealand and most importantly, let’s support one another with kindness. GET IN TOUCH ### Finding the right SEO Marketing Agency and SEO Specialists for your Business SEO marketing is one of the most talked-about subjects in the marketing field and yet many people are still unclear about how it actually works. The main reason behind this ambiguity: More than 200 ranking factors that Google uses to decide the fate of your online business….! So finding the right SEO Marketing Agency and SEO Specialists for your Business is not the easiest task. Many people will agree that SEO is the key to online success but the problem is, they know very little about it and rely on SEO companies for their services - hoping for the best. And so, it all boils down to one thing… Choosing the right SEO agency for your business! Whether your business will flourish, gain traffic from Google and get sales or you’ll end up wasting your time and money depends on this one decision. One decision that can either “make” or “break” your online business. In this regard, we have compiled a list of things to keep in mind before hiring an SEO agency so that you can make an informed decision: Identifying your goals and clearly stating your expectations: Goal setting is one of the most important things in any field and even more so in SEO marketing. The first step in identifying the right SEO specialist for your business is to identify the goals that you want to achieve. And no getting more traffic from Google will not do! For example, Ranking for a keyword in Gore will not assist if your target market is Auckland. Instead, your goals need to be very specific. Targeting a specific keyword, SEO audit, optimising your website for better user experience, producing better content- all fall under SEO services and so, you should know what you are looking for and communicate with the SEO agency upfront. SEO takes time! Avoid someone who promises “quick fixes” or “an instant increase in traffic” Let’s be clear here. There’s no such thing as a “quick fix” or “an instant boost in traffic” when it comes to Search engine optimisation. Instead, the process of optimising your website for the best possible user experience and for better visibility in the search engines is a complex process and it takes time. While choosing an SEO agency, you should pay extra attention to the “words” used by the SEO expert and ask him about the strategy that he will use for your site. SEO isn’t Cheap- avoid deals that seem too good to be true. SEO services are not cheap by any means. Depending on the nature and the size of your business, SEO services can cost from $1000-$20,000 per month. You might come across firms offering SEO services for a very low fee and while this may seem lucrative, you must not fall for the “Price trap”. Such SEO agencies rely on blackhat methods like buying links, keyword stuffing, using PBNs, etc. and in the long run, your site will get penalize from Google. Past experience matters- look for reviews, testimonials, and past clients when looking for a SEO Marketing Agency. A simple google search will reveal thousands of SEO experts claiming to be the best in the business but when it comes to showing actual results, they have very little to show for all their bold claims. You are potentially leaving your business’ fate in the hands of the SEO firm and so you should be smart about hiring someone for the job. you must look at the firm’s online reputation, case studies, testimonials, and clientele to find out whether you are making the right decision or not. You can also talk to the past clients managed by the firm and ask them about their experience. SEO is all about experience and you might want to hire a firm with a great reputation and a big list of pleased clients- Someone like Net Branding led by the experienced SEO expert Cathy Mellett.

We know how essential is for any business is to stay on top of their digital and mobile channels for acquiring and retaining customers. But Digital Strategy Marketing is a whole different challenge. Integrating a plan to grow and engage audiences effectively requires more effort and some good advice from a Digital Strategy Consultant. If your company does not have a powerful digital strategy, you may be losing against competitors who are more digitally savvy. Here are the five reasons why you need to develop an appropriate digital strategy: Target Audience Optimization Using Digital Marketing without a strategic approach is still very common. It seems like you are getting amazing results from a search, email, or social media marketing but you are still not converting. The problem? Your business might be missing opportunities by optimizing your right target audience. Customer demands vary according to different profiles, behaviors, and competitors. Integration Digital Marketing activities should not be divided into silos. Integrating your digital strategy with traditional media and response channels will help you align your goals and finally meet your KPI’s. Avoid duplication Your resources are limited. Hence, you cannot waste them. When your business purchases different tools or uses different agencies to complete the exact same job, your digital performance will not show any outstanding difference. With a good digital strategy, you can redirect your marketing efforts towards one single goal. Online added value A detailed and clear proposition behind a digital strategy will help you differentiate your online service or product encouraging potential new clients to engage, and existing customers to stick around and stay loyal to your brand. Tailoring your content to your own personas is key to engage and let the world know you are adding much more value to your proposition. Space for improvement We know you are using analytics and ideally, reporting all your results. But reporting does not equal reviewing, improving, and acting on what needs to be fixed.

It is quite normal to see the famous #'s throughout many different networks, and we even know that they are a useful tool for brand positioning, increasing interaction and turning content into a trend. These are the new ways in which you can take advantage of the use of hashtags on your social networks: Focus on your audience In addition to being effective in building your brand and increasing interactions, they can also help you find your target audience. Hashtags make your audience find you. Using the same HTs as your audience, you will have the opportunity to build an audience and generate more interest in your brand. Be specific Less is more. Do not over use hashtags. It is preferable to focus attention on specific people and keywords to keep your messaging clear and concise. You also make sure that your content is more likely to be seen by the people that are in your target audience. Be aware of trends Trending topics are constantly changing and being updated. You have to be aware of news relevant to your business and utilise these opportunities to position your brand in front of potential customers. Build a community Traffic is generated by users and it is important that they feel recognised by your brand and that they feel that your content represents their lifestyle. This will help to grow a community of loyal customers who engage with your brand and products on an ongoing basis. Adapt your hashtags to each social network Although hashtags serve the same purpose of discovering and categorising content on all social networks, their use varies depending on the channel. The use of hashtags will depend on the social network you are using and the type of publication. For example, on Instagram we use them to describe content. On Twitter, hashtags are more focused on a topic of conversation or a group of people with whom we would like to connect. Now you know, hashtags will allow you to have an impact on audiences on social networks. Be sure to share the best content and make a good impression. Always monitor your content and your hashtags with help of tools or advisors. You can also change you hashtags multiple time a day or decide which one is better for a specific campaign.

So, how should we prepare a Coronavirus business plan and face the situation in our work teams? Keep in touch with the news Before creating any It is extremely important to be informed to know the real situation and the plans drawn up by local, regional and state administrations and to follow all the recommendations and obligations that as citizens we have in our community. Create your own Coronavirus business plan for during lockdown Create an adequate plan for your type of business, without trying to match that of some other company, since each sector has its own particular needs and a different address during the closure. It is always recommended to be informed about the current situation, to have real and immediate communication with your staff. Since we are in a rare situation, which is changing day by day, it is necessary to have an action plan to know how to act in each eventuality, no matter how unreal it may seem. Double check the information regarding COVID-19 The information traffic generated by a global pandemic makes everything become a trend quickly. This is a reason of why it is important to understand the responsibility to communicate truthfully and check what you are going to publish. It is necessary to take the time to verify the information that circulates and the source from which they come from, to know if it is essential to share it with your team or not. Look for official and reliable sources, either governmental or with a clean record, to ensure that it is true information. A pandemic like the one we are experiencing generates panic and uncertainty in businesses and communities. So beyond communicating the real and official information, you have to do it responsibly. Tone and shape matter. It is not the same to transmit a message that generates uncertainty and terror in society, just for the sake of selling more or achieving greater reach. Form matters, especially if what is at stake is the health and life of the world's population. Think smart when creating a Coronavirus marketing plan for your company or business. Consider what is best for your team and what opportunities to take advantage of. Consider the impacts that Coronavirus will bring to your business: As responsible of our business, we must keep in mind the inevitable impacts that this pandemic will bring us in order to neutralize and abide by them in the best way -Labour impacts As this is a health crisis, the first thing to work on in your Coronavirus marketing plan is the impact it will have on our employees. How the stress of this situation can affect your personal, emotional and work well-being. -Productive impacts Adopt concrete measures in each sector of your company, considering the needs of each one to continue operating in the best possible way and at the same time respecting the necessary measures to stay safe. -Impact on sales Some companies may take advantage of this contingency as a short-term business opportunity, while others may be drastically affected. This depends directly on the turn that your business has. We will have to develop ideas about where we can continue to be competitive while everything returns to normal and develop skills that allow us to adapt to the sudden changes that are coming. -Economic impact Although it seems that this is the most important to consider in our Coronavirus marketing plan , we must always bear in mind that our financial situation will be conditioned by the execution of contingency plans in the previous points. If the impact is too unfair, we can find allies that will allow us to sustain ourselves for the duration of this crisis. Consider health and safety as a priority We must not forget that the health and well-being of people is the most important thing in this case. Transmitting calm is the beginning for actions and plans to be properly executed. We must think that the information or strategies that we generate to benefit our company can directly affect, in a good or bad way, other businesses and other people, so it is always recommended to have a solution geared towards social welfare in general. At Net Branding we specialise in knowing our client and their needs, as well as being a team with a human sense. Find us if you need a Coronavirus marketing plan, in the field of marketing, online sales, SEO and social media. We can get something fruitful out of every crisis! GET IN TOUCH ### Domain Name Increase - A Wholesale Level Impact our Clients To our valuable clients and friends. We would like to inform you that, effective 9 April 2020, we have no option but to apply a new domain name increase in the price of our .nz (includes.co.nz, .org.nz etc) and .com domain names. Factors driving a domain name price change: We’ve been notified by InternetNZ (who sell domain names to us) that they are increasing the wholesale fees for domain names. We expect that most domain name providers in the industry are likely to pass on this increase to customers. We have attempted to keep our new pricing as low as possible and to maintain that below the current market average price of $41.42 + GST. This current market average price will soon change. This is notably the first price increase in our 12 years, since Net Branding started business in 2008. Historically we have saved our customers annual domain renewal fees by keeping this pricing consistent and below many other providers in the industry. I am aware that as I work with so many domain providers when onboarding new clients, I know that domains acquired through Net Branding include so many features.  These features are often paid features in other platforms. I acknowledge that the timing of this change is not good. Thank you for your understanding. As always, we are committed to providing great services and support. We very much appreciate your business and continued support. With Best Wishes Cathy Contact Us ### Scam in google accounts: The most common fraudulent online strategy Privacy is a very important element, not only in the daily life of people and for good interpersonal relationships, but also in the new social model that we operate today, online. Everything is or is operated by an account, specially the online market. Protecting online privacy or personal information is as important as protecting bank accounts or Social Security numbers, especially if they are access to accounts linked to a business. To maintain adequate control of your accounts and avoid scam in Google accounts you own, such as those like Google Mail or Google Ads, it is necessary to take certain precautions to avoid fraud and scams. This article was prompted when our Google ads specialists noted unauthorised attempts by companies to gain access to client online advertising accounts. How to identify a scam in google accounts or other online accounts? Today it is common for there to be hundreds of scam services and online hackers that are responsible for spreading false information and, of course, taking advantage of the disadvantageous situations of account owners. Unfortunately, it is common for online businesses to be exposed to this type of risk, which is why an appropriate security protocol for your type of business is necessary. One of the most common scammers' strategies for attacking corporate accounts is to send phishing emails disguised as messages from the corporate server or public email services to shared addresses. The serious companies, especially the large companies, take care of the maintenance of your email servers by themselves. In the case of an attack targeting a particular organisation, scammers often collect as much information as possible in advance so that their emails are convincing. To give credibility and authenticity, they can include the victim’s email addresses in phishing hyperlinks, so that when they visit the fake page, the address already appears and they just have to enter the password. This is how they manage to scam in google accounts, or any other mailing service. In Net Branding we have noticed an increase in  failed- attempts to access our accounts, with no success, but they motivate us to reinforce our security measures for our brand and for our client’s businesses. How do I avoid being at risk of fraudulent account access?  It is important to always be careful to check who is granting access to the accounts and always keep in mind that they are trustworthy people or that they represent a secure service, always backed by a contract that can help them in case of any risk. Many times in businesses with large teams it is difficult to be monitoring who has the accesses, passwords or account management, however, there are different control protocols such as confidentiality contracts to help prevent information from leaking. A good online security technician or service can help you prevent or even block scammers who try to access your account without your permission. Contact Net Branding if you have enquires of how to protect your account access from scammers, or simply give more security to your business. Our website team also specialise in Website Security and Hack Protection Services.

FACT: Your business website is the foundation of all your digital marketing effort.  As you look over your business expenses when cash flow is tight, you could be tempted to scale back on your business website work, take your website offline, or perhaps even scale back or stop the work that you are doing to your website to gain visibility i.e.  SEO (Search Engine Optimisation). For ideas on how you could cut back on some of your business expenses during a recession you may find some valuable tips on Budget Cutting ideas for NZ businesses. This is the time to work on your business and not in your business. Do I stop my Online Google Ads during an economic downturn? “Stopping Google ads completely, should be avoided”, says Digital Consultant, Cathy Mellett. “As you close off ads, your remarketing options become outdated and it will take a while to ramp these strategies back up.  My suggestion is to keep things ticking over.  Yes, reduce your daily spend if you must, but keep some of your Google / online ads working for you.  The benefit to you is that if other competitors have turned off their advertising, your cost per click may drop significantly.“ SEO (Search Engine Optimisation during a Recession: Is this important? SEO may be a cost for your business.  But, as businesses start to refocus, this cost may well increase in the foreseeable future. What is the real impact of a poorly ranking or low visibility website? Low or ZERO traffic directed to your business website from search engines.  This is called organic traffic. Low online visibility with low SEO rankings.  Your business website is on page 50 or less. Who scrolls down that far?  No one will find you there. With low rankings, you will have zero website leads or enquiries Customer loyalty is often underpinned with brand visibility.  No or low visibility online may mean your customers go elsewhere. An E-commerce website without visibility may not led to online sales. People trust websites that are on the 1st page of Google.  Lower ranking websites equate to lower trust from your customers and clients It is an unconscious assumption that people who are the first page of Google are probably the experts in their industry. How can SEO services help? A company that delivers SEO services can help with your ranking.  This can often be described as a SEO Ranking service.  In simple terms, Search Engine Optimisation helps your business website, climb through the pages in Google to achieve better online visibility. You could opt to do this yourself, or you could choose to use the services of an SEO company or SEO expert. Why do I need a business website? This is a little like asking, why do I need products or services to sell? Years ago, a business website was a nice to have.  Today, your business website is the foundation of your online digital presence. It is you showcasing what you do to the world. This is where people, your existing and potential customers, go to learn about your services, your products and your offer.  It is where they educate themselves and it is where you can share your knowledge and expertise.  Without a company website, this is no longer a possibility and someone else, a competitor is then able to dazzle these searchers with their brilliance.

But, there are still opportunities that can be found. If appropriate, please register your service. This website offers community support whilst people self-isolate. I attended an online meeting this morning (24/3/2020). The overarching focus was, focus on WHAT CAN WE DO rather than WHAT CANT BE DONE. Step out of your comfort zone. This is where miracles can happen. In my opinion there are many things that can be done. For many, it may push you out of your comfort zone. This was indeed the situation this morning. A Zoom session and related technology was new to many on the call. But - who knows - getting comfortable with a camera focused on you could actually be a step you need to take as you look at Video content options for your Digital Marketing. Yet, whilst being out of your comfort zone was certainly experienced for some of the attendees, we know that being on the fringe of a comfort zone is where the most growth is experienced. I know that this is true to all areas of our life and our business, and its associated potential, is no exception to this. Why not look at your business and actively consider what value add options you could actually explore and implement right now. Online is key. This applies to both essential and non essential services. If you do have a service to offer perhaps in insurance, or a fitness centre, then there is a huge opportunity for you now. Remember our starting point. We will chose to focus on what can be done rather than what cannot be done. Digital marketing, your website and online presence. My advice is, don't loose your momentum. GET STARTED. Stay focused and keep your eyes fixed on the road ahead. Progress may be two steps forward and one back, but you are still moving. Positivity is a mindset. Stay safe out there. We will get through this. Cheers Cathy Digital Marketing Consultant, Owner of Net Branding and Founder of I'm Enough.

Name * Phone number * ### We Breath Social Media – For Better or Worse Social media has become synonymous with any essential need; its ubiquity is a testament to its power and spread throughout the world. It is used everywhere in the planet, in countless languages and in numerous settings such as casually, politically, economically and socially. The sheer volume of data and information shared because of social media is unbelievable. It is believed that in the last two years, the volume of data produced and stored is actually more than ever done before in the whole history of mankind. This idea easily illustrates why social media has the power to do both good and bad. Facebook – The giant living everywhere The leading social media platform is, without any doubt, Facebook; a social media giant that has recorded over 2.3 billion active users. A study highlighted that Facebook observes 900,000 logins every minute. If this number is extrapolated to a day, it would be 1.296 billion logins. The same study also estimated that 15,000 GIFs are sent through messenger every minute. These numbers all illustrate how Facebook has become a household name. However, in the last two years, we have repeatedly learnt of events where social media has been used (subtly) in modern day warfare. The fact that the elections of the United States of America were affected because of Facebook has troubling ramifications. A famous guardian article exposed activities of a company known as Cambridge Analytica which harvested data of millions of people using Facebook. The data was acquired without the knowledge of people and was used to create profiles for conditioning. Similarly, concerns have been long shared about Facebook’s exposure to children–a survey concluded that the average age of children who join Facebook is 11 years old. 40 percent of children spend more than 1 hour on Facebook every day and many have interacted with scammers. These concerns have left parents aware of the down side of social media platforms such as Facebook. As a result, they are usually advised to take active roles in setting age restrictions, parental controls, teaching and implementing better privacy settings and blocking inappropriate content. The Youth & Social Media While in a more local and dangerous manner, social media has opened doors to human hatred in the guise of anonymity and proximity. Through social interactions online, such hatred oozes out and a lot of harsh things are shared and said. For millennials, this has much darker implications as they have lived with social media as an essential component of their social fabric and interaction method. This has also made them susceptible to the effects of harsh comments and mental disturbances, which include depression and anxiety. Anyone exposed to such form trouble online should: Avoid groups with toxic discussions and report if someone is bullying you or others Discuss issues openly with adults and find spaces that are supportive Approach organisations that work to help in such issues. Block people who can hurt you and beware of scammers. I am Enough (Non-profit Organisation) Engage with organisations that work with people facing trouble online. A perfect example is ‘I am Enough’; a non-profit organisation that deals with digital related afflictions. They deal with concerns related to depression and anxiety caused through social media exposure. The idea behind it was simple, social media is a giant that has gripped the world and will not seize to exist. The benefits of social media are widespread and require to be embraced. Where problems arise, professionals with an understanding of matters related to technology and mental health can provide support. Such support involves using different tried and tested techniques, which helps to build digital resilience.

If your business isn’t appearing for relevant Google searches in your locality then you’re definitely missing out. It’s crucial for your online presence that Google knows where your business is located, as well as what it offers. Optimising your local search profile can benefit your business in a couple of ways: People who search for services in their vicinity are likely to be ready to buy from a local business just like yours.It can be easier to rank in Google Maps than in organic search results, where you’re competing against businesses from different areas offering the same services.Luckily, it’s relatively straightforward to build your business profile in Google and rank for local searches using Google My Business. The benefits of Google My BusinessThe free Google My Business tool allows you to optimise how your business appears in Google ‘Map’ results. By adding your business to the Google Directory you unlock a valuable opportunity to showcase your business offering and interact with your ideal customers. For example, you can: 1. Add a benefit-driven description and call-to-action: Take the opportunity to describe your services and highlight what makes your business unique from your local competition. 2. Share photos and videos: According to Google, “Businesses with photos receive 42% more requests for driving directions to their location from users on Google, and 35% more clicks through to their websites than businesses that don't have photos.” So, adding images to your Google My Business listing can really benefit your ranking. Choose photos that show your business in action and highlight your brand. You can also add short videos to your profile, which is another great way to educate and engage potential customers. 3. Reply to customer reviews A Google My Business listing allows users to leave reviews for your business, which can be a valuable source of information for potential customers. You can also take the opportunity to respond to customer reviews, in order to thank customers or provide more information.

You’ve spent so much time working on those social media accounts you made to help boost engagement with your business. However, upon searching for how to make the numbers on those accounts really sing, you might come across the solution of buying the likes or followers you feel you need to get your business’ online presence off the ground. However tempting this quick fix might appear, I ask that you think about those crash diets we all obsessed over a few years back. Remember how you would lose weight like *that*, and then gain it all back again the second you put cream cheese on your breakfast bagel? It’s the same paradoxical situation that applies to most things in life that we really want: if there’s a way that seems too good to be true, it usually is. Just like simply moderating diet and regular exercise diligently is one of the only surefire ways to keep the pounds off in the long term, getting the authentic results you crave for your business calls for its own reliable and concrete (albeit slow and steady) solution. Only by investing your blood, sweat and tears into establishing a genuine relationship with your legitimate client and social base can you hope for your business to really spread its wings and soar online. As a side note, if you’re reading this article to try and convince yourself that buying likes and followers on social media is the way to go, just make sure you’re aware not only of the perceived benefits, but also the negative consequences of doing so to your overall brand image. Net Branding’s digital marketing experts suggest you refrain from succumbing to this highly and deceptively appealing concept. How Can Buying Likes and Followers on Social Media Hurt My Business?With major social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook dominating the playing field of maximizing brand visibility, you might be considering buying likes or followers to compete with the rivals who may well have resorted to that same trick you may be thinking about using! However, increasing your engagement numbers artificially can do more harm than good to your business. And it might turn out to be more than just a complete waste of your investment - it can also harm your business significantly. When you tamper with the existing system of earning likes and followers on social media accounts, it can only decrease your overall engagement while destroying your business’ reputation as a brand. It only tends to create a “spammy” appearance, with the little engagement provided by these fake accounts often resulting a very unflattering impression of your brand in front of potential as well as existing customers. Why Not Buy Likes or Followers?On the surface, having tons of followers or likes might appear valuable, but it really only makes a significant positive difference through the honest and organic route. The appearance of creating more engagement through fake likes or followers might deliver short-term benefits, such as creating a good impression off the bat to some potential customers interested in following your brand. However, there are several negative impacts you can end up inflicting on yourself or your business. Making Your Brand Appear Shady: In case the real followers of your brand’s social image, any true patron of your brand who seems engaged in your social media accounts will quickly realize the fact that the vast majority of likes or other followers associated with your business are spam accounts. You will end up consequently driving away existing as well as potential customers by highlighting your shady or dishonest brand image.Instagram May Punish You: If moderators of a social media platform whose system you are abusing comes to know of the fact that you have bought followers or likes online, they will ultimately block your business or individual account. If you happen to be a repeat offender, Instagram straightaway goes with the step of banning your account altogether. Does this really sound worth all the empty numbers?Fake Likes # Real Business: Irrespective of the number of likes or followers you have on social media accounts, this will ultimately never produce an increase in business for your brand for obvious reasons. While as we mentioned these followers and likes may garner some interest for your business, as soon as your brand’s legitimacy is questioned, the flow of business can run dry at the drop of a hat. Invest that time and money into real customers that can provide you with real business.Judging A Book By Its Cover: The total number of likes as well as followers on one’s social media accounts are widely used by potential customers to vet your brand and ensure it is not only authentic and can be trusted upon for reliable transactions, but also to have a sense of the response of other clients for whom you have provided a service. If you have 100,000 followers on Instagram, 50,000 likes and little to no comments, let alone any reviews commending your business – well, that’s just plain shady. While it can be difficult to garner positive reviews, they truly are one of the basic necessities for proving to those interested in your business that you are worth their patronage.Really, by this point it is truly obvious that more often than not, more harm than good will come from deciding to buy likes or followers on social media platforms. It is far more worth your time to invest your money and energy into generating likes and followers organically on social media.

If you do not work with SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) as part of your core business, you will probably require the services of a reputable SEO company to assist you. The market is full of “SEO specialists” but if you are going to invest money in this process it will benefit you to make sure you are dealing with the right people. Net Branding not only has the knowledge and experience required, but we can prove to you that your tailor-made and dedicated SEO strategy is working by means of analytical data & reports from Google themselves. Please note, we do not engage in any Black Hat tactics which can get your website banned. SEO Strategies For New Websites. Start Off RightIf you are just about to develop a website, this is the most opportune moment to start building a sound SEO strategy. You can get the basics in place from the get-go and then build a great SEO strategy on a solid foundation. This forethought can save you an immeasurable amount of time and money that would have been spent going back and fixing inadequate SEO when it is already deeply ingrained in your website. If you already have a website in place it becomes more complicated to fix, but it can be done. There are costs associated with setting up your dedicated SEO plan, but it’s about creating the right SEO strategy for long-term returns to boost your results from day one. Paid Advertising On Search Engines – Is This The Way To Go?You may ask, as many people do, “why can I not just pay Google to appear on the first page (or even in the first position) of their Search Engine Results Pages (SERP)?”. Of course, you can do exactly that – this is known as PPC (Pay Per Click) Marketing – however, it has 3 significant drawbacks... Cost – PPC works by bidding against your competitors for the top spots, so the price you pay per click keeps rising until one by one, opponents drop out of the “race” because they can no longer afford the expense. If you are not the one with the most money to spend, you lose out. Also, the actual costs imposed by Google Ads have been steadily rising and will continue to do so.Time – keeping an eye on what is happening with your PPC campaign is very time-consuming so you probably will need to hire someone to manage this for you. This translates to a further monthly cost.The Wily User – online users are becoming more sophisticated, and as such they are becoming aware that results marked as adverts (Ad) are paid for. Many people deliberately avoid these results and go to the first page of the so-called organic results. This is where the correct organic SEO strategies come into play – rather than displaying your search results as an ad, which tends to drive potential customers away, quality organic SEO ensures your results will wind up high on Google’s search results of their own volition.PPC is an excellent tool for getting instant results and Net Branding offers management of this as part of our services. It is very useful to gain immediate visibility for your website while you work on implementing an SEO strategy for long-term returns. Paying for Google Ads is usually only sustainable for a limited amount of time, and cannot gather the results you want alone. The Role Of Social Media MarketingThe same can be said about paid Social Media Marketing. Of course it works, but results come at a cost. Taking Facebook as a prime example, the amount that you have to pay for advertising is increasing year on year. Improving your website’s rankings using SEO is certainly not cost-free but it is a long term investment, not subjected to spiralling cost increases that are out of your control. Why You Should Use Google My BusinessGoogle My Business is the ‘Yellow Pages for the digital age”. When you have a Google Google My Business profile search results will show your phone number, the link to your website, customer reviews and the exact address and location in Google Maps. It is a free service from Google and essential for all but especially small businesses. Isn’t Content The Most Important Thing? SEO Vs Content StrategySuccessful SEO Strategy is the long game. It takes time and effort to get it right. You can have the greatest well-written content but if it does not match up to what your potential customers are looking for, it will be of no real benefit as Google’s algorithms cannot recognise the content as containing the information the user is searching for. Content is still king but your SEO strategy is the attribute that ensures that the people you want to speak to are finding YOUR content when they search online.

You can’t wait to show your friends, family and - most importantly - to get it in front of prospective clients. Understandably, your focus goes from the website to attract visitors. However, a few months down the track you start having issues. You look back at that incredible hosting plan you purchased at such a great deal for $8 a month – what a steal! Then, as your world starts crashing down, you realise why it was $8 a month…. There is no denying the fact that WordPress is a simple-to-use platform for designing and running your websites. However, there are several common scenarios in which you may encounter WordPress hosting failure or common issues. If it happens to you, do not panic! In this post, we will help you with some of the common WordPress issues and how to resolve them. Important Note: Before trying to resolve any WordPress-related error, it is recommended to ensure that you have a complete WordPress backup. #1: Internal Server Error Sometimes referred to as the “500 Internal Server Error,” this issue usually happens when there is something wrong with the platform, but the internal server of the system is unable to detect it. This type of WordPress error is mostly caused by some theme or plugin functions. Some of the potential solutions for this can be: Checking for a corrupted “.htaccess” fileIncreasing the PHP memory limitDeactivating all the existing pluginsRe-uploading the core files#2: Connection Timed Out When the server is not able to handle the intense pressure on the site, this message comes up on the screen. This type of WordPress hosting is most commonly found in cases of shared hosting in which the memory limit tends to be limited. Some of the ways to resolve the same are: Deactivate all the existing pluginsSwitch to using the default version of WordPress themeIncrease the limit for maximum execution time in the php.ini file#3: Security Concerns WordPress is a famous free, open-source platform. Being an open solution, it is highly vulnerable to security breaches and attacks by viruses, causing major security-related concerns. If you wish to remain safe with security breaches while using WordPress, it is recommended to make use of the right security plugins. Always keep updating the WordPress site and plugins from time to time as per the latest security updates. #4: White Screen of Death This type of WordPress issue leads you to a plain, white screen with the absence of any error message. In most cases, it occurs due to a specific script exhausting the overall PHP memory limit. It might also happen due to some particular configuration on the main server. Some of the possible solutions are: Increasing the memory limitDisabling all the pluginsReplacing a particular theme with the default WordPress themeEnabling debug mode for catching errors in WordPress#5: Problem in Establishing Relevant Database Connection in WordPress The given error message indicates that the particular website is not able to connect to the WordPress database. Mostly, this problem occurs when the particular user has modified or entered the respective database credentials (including database username, database password, or database host) incorrectly. In some cases, the WordPress database could be unresponsive, or the database might have corrupted. Some of the existing solutions are: Check the WordPress Configuration fileChecking the web host including MYSQL Server#6: Speed Speed is a major concern that all WordPress site owners should consider while promoting the respective products or services online. Google has indicated that page loading speed for your WordPress site is a major determinant its algorithm utilizes for ranking websites. As soon as the visitors come across a slow-loading site, they immediately switch to another website providing improved page loading speeds. #7: Presence of Attractive Features With the help of attractive plugins as well as themes, WordPress websites are known to deliver improved user experiences. The utilization of plugins like pop-up chats, Live Chat, and others can help in enhancing the overall online experience of the visitors on your WordPress website. While most of the websites feature top-end plugins as well as features, they fail at updating the same from time to time. For continuous results from the visitors, you should aim at updating the website to the latest versions as soon as the updates come up. #8: Search Engine Optimization When it comes to WordPress hosting with respect to Search Engine Optimization, some of the important points to consider are: Site speed – Google will improve the rankings of your site when it has a better site or page loading speedOutdated plugins – make it a point to keep updating the plugins to the latest versions for improved resultsSite Downtime – Opt out of cheap hosting plans and upgrade to a reliable WordPress hosting plan for minimizing the site downtime.

This is a scenario every business with an online presence will experience at some stage in its lifetime. Unfortunately, the Google Gods are not inclined to allow the removal of reviews, and with good reason – everyone wants to provide a transparent and honest view of their business. However, when a bad review doesn’t reflect the integrity of your brand, it can be frustrating trying to provide the best representation of your business. In this post, we will help you know how to remove bad Google reviews for effective online reputation management. Getting a bad customer review on Google is the worst nightmare as an online business owner. You put your blood, sweat and tears into maintaining a decent online reputation on Google concerning your company. However, a single negative review on Google about your product or service can easily tarnish your long-term efforts. After all, positive reviews are a part of the digital landscape and a much sought after element in your digital strategic plan. Why Delete a Review on Google? When it comes to online traffic, Google is undeniably the largest online platform in the world. It is also known for dominating the online review market across the globe. Moreover, around 21 percent of online visitors agree that Google reviews play a vital role in determining whether users choose to go ahead with your business. There is no denying the fact that a negative review for your business on Google can significantly drive away your potential customers. Therefore, it makes total sense that you may wish to remove a review on Google as it could negatively impact on your overall brand image. Google is known to focus on the overall credibility of a website - Google’s aim is to facilitate, honest, real and untainted reviews. Therefore, Google has placed a few hurdles and obstacles in the path of your removing any review. So what options are available to manage your Google Reviews? 1. It is recommended that rather than removing a bad Google review (which is not possible to do unless you have specific circumstances) you should work towards resolving what has happened. This is particularly important when considering the customer's interaction with your business, whether their review accurately portrays their experience. It is important not to react to the review but to respond to it; if you are responsible for the customer's experience, uphold your company's integrity and resolve the issue in a timely and appropriate manner. If a potential customer sees the negative review and your response tackles the issue in a favourable manner, they may be more likely to consider using your service. 2. There are some situations that will provide you with legitimate reasons for removing a Google review - many of these reasons have been detailed further below. Our Net Branding team have succeeded in supporting clients though this process. What are the Ways to Remove a Bad Google Review? If you are an online user and the creator or poster of a review, you can delete this review at any time. If you wish to delete your Google review about any product or service of an online brand, you can. Here are our easy steps to follow to remove your own Google Review from a Google my Business listing: Open Google Maps on your computer.In the top-left corner of the screen, click on the option “Your Contributions.” Choose the option “Reviews.”Select the option “More” next to the given review. From here, select between the option of editing or deleting your review.On the other hand, if you are a business looking to delete a review on Google posted by a other user, here are some effective ways to achieve this: Work with the reviewer to resolve their dissatisfaction, then request to delete / remove the reviews: When you address the customer’s feedback right away, it helps in strengthening as well as safeguarding your online reputation. This is particularly effective if the user has had a negative experience for whatever reason, and you are determined to resolve this issue directly with the user. You can consider responding to the particular review. By doing so, you can have a better chance of retaining the customer in the long run. In the view of potential customers, public responses made to negative reviews help to provide reassurance that your brand cares for the customers, listens to their views, and aims at resolving problems. If you think that you have satisfactorily addressed the specific issues of the customers, you can go ahead and ask them if they still feel negative about your brand. If you succeed at winning them over, you can look to them as potential customers to serve as powerful brand promoters - there's nothing better than a dissatisfied customer who has had their needs addressed and resolved, as they are aware of your business' desire to go above and beyond to help them fulfil their needs. Once you have won their hearts with your response, you can request the customers to edit or remove bad Google reviews with the steps mentioned above. Dealing with Fake Reviews: Sadly, it is quite common for online brands to be a victim of fake negative reviews. For combating this, you can determine the overall authenticity of the reviews that you receive on Google. In case you are assured that the review is fake and violating the review policies, you can flag it to Google by: 1. Signing into your Google My Business account. 2. Choosing the business location and clicking Reviews from the main menu. 3. Select the review that you believe violates Googles Review policies, select it and flag it as inappropriate. Remember - review Google's policies before doing this. Why? Flagging a Google review just because you disagree with it or don't like it will not get the review taken down. Google cannot get involved when merchants and customers disagree on a level beyond Google's own terms of conduct, since there's no reliable way to discern who is right about a customer experience. Google can only intervene if the review itself breaches their terms - not for any subjective concerns. What Are Some Legitimate Reasons for Flagging a Google Review?There are several reasons why a Google review can be deemed inappropriate and can therefore be flagged for removal. This includes Google reviews written without having actual first hand experienced the product, service or business, defamatory language, personal attacks and off-topic content. At the time of writing this post, these are some of the reasons you could explore when flagging a Google Review for removal. Spam and fake content – A reviewer’s content should reflect their genuine experience with your business. If a reviewer posts fake content or posts the same content multiple times, you are within your rights to flag the review(s) for removal.Off-topic – Reviewers should only post content based on their personal experience. It is also not an environment to share political, social commentary or personal rants.Restricted or illegal content – Google has a zero-tolerance policy for content that breaches restriction laws, so feel free to flag such reviews wherever they may come up. Restrictions could include but is not limited to alcohol, gambling, guns, health, medical devises and financial services.Offensive, derogatory, terrorist, sexually explicit or otherwise dangerous content – As you can probably guess, Google is more than willing to assist in the removal of derogatory, offensive and dangerous review content.Impersonation – Content should not be deceptive or a false representation. It should not mislead others.* Note, removal methods vary and in some cases the review may be removed but the impact on your actual start rating can remain. As you flag the review, it is recommended that you prepare all evidence to support your case - nothing is guaranteed when it comes to the removal of a bad, fake or false Google review. This is particularly true if you cannot provide evidence of misdemeanour, such as if the reviewer amends their offensive content before Google's team is able to assess the review. Net Branding advises taking a screenshot of any online behaviour you may deem offensive in order to provide this to Google's team when needed. How do I turn off Google reviews?All of this seems to be way too much. Can I simply turn off the Google Review feature? Unfortunately, it's not as simple as that. Google my Business reviews are in place to allow anyone with a Gmail account to leave a review for your business - although this may not be ideal for your business, reviews provide a transparent experience for patrons of businesses. Managing your Google ReviewsUltimately, there are a few facts to observe when considering Google reviews. They are not optional - Google reviews are here to stay so all businesses have representation of their services online and how they impact customers. The answer is simply to actively collect more reviews from your customers, and ensuring your service is the best possible so that you receive the maximum amount of positive reviews you can! Net Branding aims at successfully helping clients in managing their Google reviews. Although the removal of irrelevant reviews cannot always happen as only certain circumstances permit the removal of a review, you can always amend your relationship with a customer who has had a negative experience. We understand the fact that active management of Google reviews is of utmost importance in making the right impression to your audience. Google reviews are a current reality. They are part of a local SEO strategy and help to create powerful inbound links to your website. People rely on Google reviews and other online reviews to evaluate your service. The active management of any reviews pertaining to your business should be actively managed as part of your typical digital marketing strategy.

Social media and digital marketing engage in a cyclical relationship, where as one feeds into the other, in turn the other reciprocates. This can sound like a bold claim if you don't know the benefits of working social media into your digital marketing strategy. Read more below!Social media and digital marketing are two sides of the same coin. Cathy Mellett is here to tell you why using social media in digital marketing can make a world of difference to your business's online success, as well as how to build relationships with your business' target audience through social media. Is Social Media Really All That?So, let us consider the following! If you deleted all of your social media accounts, do you believe you could still build a successful business online? And, I would really like to urge you to think about this: typically, in your day-to-day world, people build relationships one-to-one, person-to-person. It’s those relationships that stand the test of time, going through the ups and downs on the topsy-turvy situation of whatever is going on. Think about social media in the same way - if you grow your business face-to-face, social media can become that important and powerful force that allows you to stay in touch with people, enabling you to become so much more than just that lonely little number in the telephone. With social media, you become somebody that they are connecting and communicating with through your social media posts. With platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and more, your clients can see what you are up to. Moreover, regular posts on social media intended to garner engagement and written in a more colloquial manner can really show your business's human and emotional side. Building Relationships with the Target AudienceIf you decide to take your business to social media with a focus on engagement and on building and maintaining that human, interpersonal relationship, it is much more likely to withstand the test of time. However, if you are building your social media solely to use internet tactics, to throw people into funnels, to boost them from funnels into an email marketing strategy, and to bombard them with multiple emails on the inbox; then I’m afraid I don’t believe you would be successful if you actually lost your social media accounts. This is because you haven’t actually considered building and maintaining the relationship. Why would clients care when you disappear from the face of the internet if they don't have that personal connection with your business? And so, I urge everyone in the digital space to really consider their approach to connecting with their client base. It's important to focus on building those long-term, interpersonal relationships, because those are the relationships that withstand the test of time. Only using social media for gimmicky internet marketing tactics is certainly not something that I would be recommending - social media is capable of contributing so much more to your business! We understand that managing all of your social media and digital marketing needs on top of your business' social media presence can be daunting. So, why not entrust it to the best? Net Branding is a social media marketing firm that provides all your digital marketing solutions. Get In Touch! ### What are the current social media stats in New Zealand for 2019? Social media stats in New Zealand for 2019 by Cathy Mellett Director of a New Zealand Digital Marketing Agency and Founder of the I'm Enough Digital focused charity for our Youth. Social media stats in New Zealand for 2019.  As a digital marketing and social media company that is proud of its extended history in the world of digital, we know that social media and online marketing is a critical element of marketing arsenal for any New Zealand company. Social media stats in New Zealand for 2019 - Where is your audience spending their time? Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin are the historied social media profiles. From its noticeable arrival in 2006, Twitter has not gained the same traction that tools such as LinkedIn and Facebook have had within the New Zealand market. The graph at the end of this article shows its market penetration as neglible. Many of my online videos, dating back to 2012, comment on my predictions around the uptake of Twitter.  Futher more, the 2018 Alexa site rankings supports my comments.  I, however, predicted that Instagram would surpass Twitter in the coming months.  This would see it move up the rankings in 2019 with Twitter use falling even further.  Today (13/9/2019) I have pulled the current website user stats and can confirm that my prediction in 2018 was correct. Real Site Ranking for NZ websites in 2019 As at August 2019, and based on user / website user time on New Zealand  sites, this is the current ranking of websites in New Zealand.  As per my prediction, Twitter continues to remain elusive with Youtube and Facebook remaining constant entries.  Instagram has surpassed Twitter in terms of its online use and time spent by a Kiwi audience. .

Source: StatCounter Global Stats - Social Media Market Share But what about our social media stats and usage trends for 2020? 2020 is looming and the big question we are all asking is what will it hold?  In my opinion, Instagram will continue increase in use, Snapchat will remain important for our younger audience and sites such as TikTok will reach higher levels with our younger users.  However, as a founder of a digital focused charity, I feel it is imperative to consider the guidance these environments also require from parents and caregivers as to how these digital or social media environments are being used amongst our youth when it comes to online kindness, compassion and thought around what is being publicised, as well as our youth's response to their content. In my opinion, here are my predictions when it comes to the future of social media and digital trends going into next year. Cathy Mellett's Thoughts on Social Media Trends and Digital Unfolding Into 2020 Social Media use will continue to grow. There will be more focus on data privacy and security. The video focus will become continue to be important and continue to keep audiences engaged as the primary type of content.  Youtube would continue to remain important.  With Vine and Musical.ly shutting down, TikTok is the current go to place for our young people. AR technology will become a hotspot of interest. Audience engagement will become more important, but is a time intensive and therefore costly exercise.  Social Media communities and Groups within Facebook is certainly one place where this can be achieved with high levels of success. Whilst not a social media trend, I feel that we will see an increase in the cost of having a brand seen online. This includes increases in costs around the use of Google Ads, increase in elements in charging to have our brands seen in social envirnments, and of course the costs associated with targeted and constant engagement in online forums. In short, we are going to continue to have to pay more and more in the hopes of reaching people through one of the most influential and frequently used advertising platform around the globe. It is my firm opinion that all marketing elements should live cohesively. Even if your brand focuses on radio and television advertisement, there is a bounty of opportunity in bouncing social media and digital marketing off your existing advertising campaigns. The foundation of community relies on the ability to interact on a personal level with those around you. Interpersonal connections should never be forgotten or discounted. This element of face to face communication is something that I fear is being lost amongst our youth, whose focus of engagement is more in the online world than the physical world around them. It seems to be almost replaced by the volume of relatable video content, such as vlogs and other videos that simulate one on one interaction with the viewer. I would be interested in your feedback. What do you believe is a future trend? To discuss this or discover what your company could be doing when it comes to your online presence, I invite you to connect with me.

Social media history for visas.  You’re a person just like most, with dreams, aspirations, and desires for the best life that you can build for yourself. Imagine you have spent months, or even years preparing the best argument for the people in charge, proving you deserve to live in a place that might have more opportunity than where you came from. Imagine you may even be doing this because where you are right now isn’t a safe place, not for you or your loved ones. Or maybe you just want to visit and work for a while, exploring the world just as countless others have before you. All of these are understandable thoughts and wishes. It’s natural for human beings to want the best life possible for themselves and the people close to them. A lot of us, at some stage in our lives, have had to fight tooth and nail to secure our futures. So what happens when all of this hinges on your social media history? Social media history for visas.  In order to apply for a visa in the United States of America, applicants must now submit 5 years of their social media history, among other things such as phone numbers and email addresses. What does this mean for me?Imagine once again that all of the above applies to you. After all the time and effort spent to try and enter a country, not to mention the potential for great changes in your life that could be hanging in the balance, your application is denied. And why? Because, 3 years ago, you made a crude comment on a Facebook post that a friend tagged you in. A comment that was misconstrued by a government official, that decided because of that comment you didn’t deserve to enter the country. Social media history for visas.  The notion that the United States has propagated by demanding the social media history of immigration applicants is severe. It suggests that how we use the Internet to interact with others - to share parts of ourselves with friends and loved ones - is no longer safe. It implores those in positions of authority around the world to judge those who might be good as a threat to the nation based on one tiny, insignificant facet of their online presence that probably doesn’t reflect their true selves at all. In light of these events, we encourage you to speak out for what you think is right. Ask questions. Why would such a proposal be considered, especially in what are known to be the countries with the most freedom in the world? Is this a part of life we should accept? And perhaps most importantly, will allowing authoritative figures to have such domain over our private lives open a door that would have been better off closed?

What is it?"Mobile first indexing" - you've been seeing these words floating around the web lately, but you're a bit stumped as to what they mean. It's especially worrisome to come across this term while uninformed if you're involved in web development or digital marketing, given that this new system of Google's is way on the rise. You may have noticed when Googling on your phone over the last couple of years that some websites pop up with a mobile friendly version available. This is just one facet of the plan that Google has for the future of its search results and the colossal amount of content people are viewing through Google on a daily basis. Put simply, mobile first indexing involves a search engine (Google) utilizing the mobile-friendly content from a website to index the page. What this essentially means is that the content on web pages will be easier to read, and Google search results may even include relevant snippets from articles. As it turns out, Google's been working on this project since around 2016; as of the end of 2018, over half of all web pages that pop up from Google search results are using mobile first indexing. What's more, Google has revealed that their ultimate plan is to ensure all new web pages registered after July 1st, 2019 will use mobile first indexing by default. What does Mobile First Indexing mean for me?If your relationship with Google only goes so far as to provide you with handy dandy answers to all those weird questions that keep you up at night, or that meatloaf recipe you can't remember off the tip of your tongue, worry not. Mobile first indexing simply means your search results will be better suited for optimal performance, particularly when searching from a smartphone. If you are a little bit more involved with web development, digital marketing and/or Search Engine Optimization (SEO), now is the time to familiarize yourself with Google's new world order. Luckily, there are a few tools available to help you out in making sure your website is prepared for the future!

However, not all digital marketing or Google Business Directory offers are created equal. We’re aware that, for the average business, concepts like search engine optimisation and social media marketing can be intimidating.

Bespoke solutionsA high-quality digital marketing agency will offer services that are tailor-made for your business, so avoid mass-marketed offerings that simply rehash services that most businesses can access for free. A reputable agency should work with you to understand who you’re targetting and come up with solutions that will help you build a sustainable, meaningful relationship with your clients. They should also consult with you to agree on what is needed for your business on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, so you’re always in control of your fees. 2. Track recordAlways look for a digital marketing agency with experience and a robust track record of delivering measurable results for clients. Ask to see case studies of how they’ve helped similar businesses and look out for testimonials from satisfied clients. 3. AccountabilityA digital marketing strategy is only as good as the results it yields. You should expect your agency to produce results backed by detailed analytics and reports, as well as suggestions for where to prioritise your marketing spend to maximise the return on your investment. At Net Branding, we’ve been around for many years, In fact, we’ve been helping businesses with their Website Development, SEO, Digital Marketing, Google Ads and Social Media since 2009.

The Christchurch shooting on 15 March 2019 has shocked the whole world and over the last 2 days New Zealand mourned the loss of the lives of its people and indeed, as a nation, we felt the kind of pain that we have never felt before. As we move forward with our day to day activities and try to cope with this horrific incident, I have been reached by a few people who are having a hard time getting back to normal, and the question that they are asking me is what should they do as a business when it comes to their social media posts and updates over the next few days. There is no right and no wrong answers in this matter. I can only urge you to do what feels right to you. However, I will share my experience and thoughts on how I, as a business owner and a person, am coping with this tragedy. As heart breaking as the events of Friday were, sadly, this was not the first time a country has faced such a huge loss. What we have been seeing on the news for the last 2 days, these targeted terrorist attacks are sadly nothing new. I personally have been impacted with the loss of a friend in 2018 to a murder and a school acquaintance shot with this traumatic event resulting in the loss of their unborn grandchild. This world is a sad place with so many worldwide atrocities taking place each day (some are not even covered by the media). But this is New Zealand! A special place at the bottom of the globe that is generally a very safe place to be. A place that welcomes the people from all over the world with acceptance and open arms. What this terrorist attack did to us on Friday is that it impacted our beautiful people, destroyed family units, killed vulnerable people while they prayed and scar our lands forever. But it didn’t break us. It only brought the us together as a nation and united communities to stand together against terrorism. As Jacinda Ardern, the current elected Prime Minister of New Zealand, said on Friday, “They are us. The person who has perpetuated this violence against us is not. They have no place in New Zealand. There is no place in New Zealand for such acts of extreme and unprecedented violence, which it is clear this act was.” Over 6.5 million dollars have already been raised to support the families of Christchurch shooting victims. To make your contributions visit: https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/christchurch-shooting-victims-fund As we move forward into this new week, what do we do as a nation? I believe, in these trying times, we need to hold true to what makes New Zealand special. We need to come together as a nation and work together to show our support to those who are suffer ting through the loss of their loved ones, and have been devastated and intimately affected by these events and help each other cope with the aftermath of this incident. Let’s remind ourselves that this is our time to stand our ground and send a strong message to the world that these terrorists have targeted and attacked the wrong nation. They have attempted to show us the footage of negativity via body cams including a step by step recount of them committing these brutalities. We must be stern and say NO to those who are sharing the video of this horrific event and urge them to take it down. Report the videos if you see them online, as this is something that should not be allowed to stay alive in the digital world. We will not provide any further air time to those that have perpetrated this heinous crime against us. You may not realise it now, but this may have a massively negative impact on your mental health, not forgetting our young children who are sometimes unable to process such content. I believe that this is what we should do to all new or any future unacceptable social media posts that we see. Report the content and take a stand against what’s inhumane and wrong. As a nation, holding every virtue close that makes us a New Zealander, go forward into this new week and our future: Our respect for our people, our compassion for each other, our loyalty to our land, our authenticity as we grieve together, our kindness, gratitude and our absolute grace to want to make a real difference. As we look to the future and identify how we can support these victims and support each other. What do we need? As hard as it may be of all of us to get back to normal, we must at least try. Let’s stand proud and tall as a nation and show the world that this horrible event will not break us, instead, it will only make us stronger. We need to be strong and work on building a strong economy for New Zealand. People make businesses and our businesses, large and small, make our economy. Why? Because through a strong economy we will be able to help the families of the victims and other who need support. So, in any situation over the coming days, in everything you share online, ask yourself, is this an appropriate thing to post considering the past days? Whether it be a social media post, a news item for your business, a product launch, a media release or a general day to day activity, I would urge you to stop and ask yourself the following question: “Will this show the world who we are as a nation, am I standing in the space of a positive belief and solid virtues that I hold close. Is what I am doing or sharing kind, caring and considerate? Will this make New Zealand stronger and help me or my business support the New Zealand economy?’’ Then at that moment, if you are confident in the content and actions you are about to take, then I’d say - GO YOU! Let’s show the world that these terrorists have chosen the wrong place to do this. Let’s show them that the incident on Friday only made us stronger and it only brought us closer as a community. Let’s make your business stronger to give back to our nation and grow New Zealand and most importantly, let’s support one another with kindness.

It is titled “Your personal Google+ account is going away on April 2, 2019”. Our message to Google is; you could have worded that better! As a digital marketing company responsible for many client accounts we instantly received emails from worried clients about what they were going to do about the Google Plus Shutdown? All of their information, emails, photos, files and more were stored in the Google database! It’s all we could do to say “Don’t worry, your data is safe, it’s not going anywhere!” Yes, the Google Plus shutdown is happening, but that will not affect any of the other Google Services that you use. What is Google Plus? Google Plus is, in short, Google’s version of Facebook. Google created Google Plus in June 2011 as a competing social media platform against Facebook. Many people already within the Google network were prompted to join using a very simple sign up method while others may have been forced to join a few years ago in order to comment on YouTube, that feature was since removed. These actions, among others, have caused many people to have Google Plus accounts that they gave no thought to over the last several years. Google has tried very hard several times to make Google Plus a “thing” but has never succeeded, so they have finally given in to the fact that it’s a waste of resources to keep going. How does the Google Plus shutdown affect you? The Google Plus shutdown means that as of April 2nd, you will no longer have access to your Google Plus account, any content you have shared on the Google Plus platform, or any connections you have made through the your Google Plus account. If you have backed up any of this information, specifically your photos, into Google Photos or Google Drive, they will be safe and continue to be stored there. If you have any connect via Google+ links on your website, these will no longer function, so it is important to remove them. If you use Google+ for comments on your own or other websites, this will be removed and the comments deleted. If you use Google+ to sign in to any sites and/or apps, most login options will change so you can login using your regular Google account. For a complete data download from Google+, Google has provided this link to show you how to completely download all of your data from the platform. Digital Marketing Companies Should All Know About The Google Plus Shutdown Our digital marketing team here at Net Branding stay on top of online moves like this one. When our clients came to us with their worries or concerns about the Google Plus shutdown, we were quick to respond and reassure them. This responsiveness and knowledge is what sets us apart from the digital marketing crowd.

The sudden freedom you have to watch hours of YouTube videos without ads or browse the web without the fear of a pop up window catching you by surprise is great!

The answer is one simple word. Security. Google claims that its updated system will speed up the process of web browsing while also increasing security for its users. It sounds like a reasonable move from Google’s perspective, however this could end up affecting millions of Google Chrome extensions, something that many businesses create and rely on to keep their business going. So while Google’s intentions are good, many businesses will have to step up their game in order to keep up with the massive changes being performed on Google Chrome’s browser. How will the changes affecting ad blocker in Google Chrome affect you?As mentioned before, these changes in Google Chrome are for the users benefit. However, we all know that if you use Chrome you will have installed some kind of Chrome extension to help you with your browsing activity. Whether that is ad blocker or another tool, it is likely that they will be affected by these changes from Google if they are unable to keep up with the changes made. However, at the end of the day, it’s 2019 and technology is constantly on the move. This means there will always be another company or developer with the tool that you need when someone else can’t deliver. Should you be looking for a new web browser now that ad blocker in Google Chrome will be affected?That is completely up to you. This news from Google definitely gives each of us something to think about when it comes to relying on a company for something that is important to you and your job or business.

We’ve all heard this popular expression, made famous by someone who either doesn’t trust the media or doesn’t want us to trust the media. Regardless, it is now common to hear this expression around the world, as people question what they see and hear more and more. This is why it is important to buid consumer trust in advertising when planning your digital marketing strategy. What online strategies do you use to establish trust with your consumer?This is an important question to consider in online marketing. There are so many online businesses advertising on social media in order to raise brand awareness. You may find yourself caught up in this world of digital marketing, trying to get your brand seen by your customer. However, one mistake we see often in online marketing is companies making promises to the customer that are impossible to follow through on.  Digital trust is so important. A great example of this a product you may have seen in online adverts, that claims to be “one size fits all”, which is a great concept but could never be 100% true. Not every person is the same and there are too many different body types out there for this claim to be true. Someone may buy a one-size-fits-all product only to find that there is no way they could possibly wear that item in public! Subsequently, the branding and awareness of the company will begin to head in a negative direction, as each customer finds they don’t receive the value they were promised from the product. These companies will find through their lack of creating consumer trust in advertising they will lose repeat customers and not grow through referrals. How can you build trust with your customer in order for them to take action?When it comes to building consumer trust in advertising with your customer or target market, we suggest asking yourself these three important questions: Can all of the promises I am making to my customer be fulfilled? Am I being authentic when creating my online marketing campaigns? What value am I creating for my customer when they use my company? Once you have answered these three questions, focus on your answers and make it clear that you are honest and genuine when planning and creating your online marketing campaigns. What strategies can I use to build consumer trust in advertising?Building trust with your customer is an important part of any digital marketing strategy, it will help you to retain customers, gain referrals, and grow your business.

Social media and online marketing have well and truly cemented themselves as an essential part of a business’s promotional strategy. In today's digital landscape, if a business is still missing from the social media platforms then they’re seriously missing out on a huge, untapped audience. Digital Marketing and Social Media is forever evolving at an exasperating pace. Every day there is a new app, tool, or concept that’s trending in this sphere of interest. Here is the top 5 trends that Cathy and the team at Net Branding believe will prove to be game changers for digital marketing 2019: Digital Marketing 2019: Augmented Reality continues its meteoric rise to the top. Augmented Reality will be amongst the top digital marketing trends in 2019. Initially entering public consciousness during the early 2010s with Google Glass,Pokémon Go and Snapchat Filters, it has already made a huge mark on the billions of internet users. It is estimated that both the augmented & virtual reality markets will touch the $298 billion mark by 2023. Snapchat and Facebook’s image filters in particular showcase a perfect example of employing augmenting reality for promotional purposes – all with minimal barrier to entry. Social media managers can take advantage of this and should look for new opportunities that are yet to come to market because of the incredible ability to make your brand known on both existing and new social media channels. Online Marketing Trends shifting towards Generation Z. Most of the upcoming digital trends 2019 revolve around Generation Z as they are about to become part of the workforce, which means they have the money to spend and converting them into sales would be easy. The best thing about these “digital natives” is that they are born surrounded by technology, which makes them the perfect target audience to build effective social media marketing strategies around. With a new generation come new interests, new ways of looking at the world and new ways to appeal to them. As New Zealand’s first integrated digital marketing company, here’s our verdict: Integrate generational change, or be left behind. Influencer Marketing continues to see growth Currently, influencer marketing is one of the most popular marketing trends of the past few years, and is considered one of, if not the best option to market aproduct or service to a vast audience. Anyone with thousands of followers/subscribers has the power to be an influencer, and by utilising these influencers through YouTube, Instagram or Snapchat, a business can easily reach out and win over huge audience. Special care must be given when selecting the right influencer to boost your business. Look for a consistent field of interest in their posts to ensure your brand is conveyed as genuinely as possible. Messenger Apps & Chatbots will be huge digital trends 2019. When it comes to online marketing, both messenger apps & chatbots continue to play a larger role in the market. Messenger services act as a great channel that enables customers to build relationships with businesses and vice versa on a particular platform (Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn). In the case of a customer landing on the business’ page or website, marketers can reach out to them via Chatbot to initiate a conversation that might lead to a sale. Chatbots serve as a great tool to increase user-engagement throughout the entire customer journey. Cathy’s thoughts: while chatbots continue to develop, making sure it’s configuration is right can take up substantial amounts of time. No human likes talking with a robot, and so making your chatbot come across as humanly as possible is a priority to really see the benefits. It might be out of reach of small businesses and cases where resources are restricted and better used elsewhere. That said, ensuring your bot can provide responses that drive value and are on topic to the subjects discussed are sure to elevate your levels of engagement and success. Digital Marketing Companies & Live Streaming While around for the better part of a decade, the explosion of livestreaming onto traditional video platforms in the past year or so – YouTube and Facebook - has taken social media by storm. In a short time, live streaming has gone from the niche of Justin.tv and Twitch and become a part of mainstream social media. Nowadays, both small & big-sized firms are using live video streaming to capture the attention of potential & existing customers. By 2019, digital marketing companies will have to recognise the power of live streaming as part of their content plans – a true, live conversation broadcast to the world. All the social media marketing trends above share the same principle: giving customers and users a great personalized experience by putting them in charge. Expect businesses to play a different role – from persuasive content creator to a navigator that guides users through their products. New social media trends let businesses better connect with their customers, generate more revenue & build trust through transparency in the public eye. If tackling these burgeoning ways to interact with consumers seems daunting, consider working with a digital partner like Net Branding.

At Net Branding, we do so much more than getting you online marketing success. Building, securing and maintaining websites is a core part of what we do. Your website needs an SSL certificate. Leveraging digital marketing platforms, like Google Ads, to attract users to your website is only one piece of the puzzle. Your website should validate a customer’s decision click on your ad and encourage them to convert into a customer. Adding an SSL certificate to your site is a significant boon to assuring website visitors of your legitimacy. In the highly competitive field of digital promotion, there’s no room for a weak link in your strategy. As the internet evolves, your website and strategy must adapt with it to continue providing a good user experience. We touch on two of the recent developments below from both a technical and user-centric perspective. SSL CertificateGoogle’s Chrome web browser had a recent update that included a feature that warns users before entering a non-secure website. Due to the majority market share Chrome has, without a simple SSL certificate you could see traffic take a huge dip. Without an SSL certificate, users will be dissuaded from visiting your site, but your paid advertisement clicks will deliver less value. Pay-per-click advertising still functions, directing people to your site. It will charge you for this click, but the security warning will dissuade a large number of visitors from actually continuing to loading your site. In the highly competitive Google Ads environment, it is essential that you take every step possible to achieve success. Furthermore, the metric known as bounce rate is a factor for SEO and is influenced by this new Chrome update. With more people leaving your website after only navigating your one page, search engines will identify your page as boring, off-putting or irrelevant, thereby diminishing its rankings. The good news is that an SSL certificate is incredibly simple, and are a part of Net Branding’s website development services. We recommend getting in touch to discuss your site's security, to avoid triggering SEO de-rankings or Chrome’s SSL certificate warning. If you’re not with Net Branding, feel free to give us a call for an evaluation. Google’s Search Algorithm UpdatesGoogle’s ranking is determined through an algorithm. It “crawls” websites and makes evaluative judgements based on what it can see on a technical level. Factors include content and relevance, speed to load and whether or not the site is adaptive for multiple screen sizes. As habits change and the way we access and use the internet evolves, so does the algorithm to provide the most relevant results. More than 60% of internet traffic came from mobile devices in the past year. Mobile indexing is Google choosing to base its rankings off the mobile version of the content, even for listings shown to desktop users. Mobile-first indexingTherefore, it’s. crucial to be mobile friendly, and it’s not all about user experience. Your mobile site’s content has to be of a high-quality standard because that is now what Google evaluates rankings with. If your mobile site has less content, poor structure and lacks optimisation, it should be a cause for concern. Mobile speed indexing changesAnother related topic is Google’s update to the algorithm that focuses on how fast your site is to load on mobile. Optimising your site’s assets for fast loading time was already essential – the longer your site takes to load, the more customers you will lose. Now, a slow site speed can be of detriment before anyone has even visited your site! Search engines are taking into account loading speed, so your website design needs to be efficient to deliver the optimal experience. At the end of the day, Google’s search algorithm is not the unknown, scary beast that many companies make it out to be. While nobody knows the exact weighting of a website’s qualities, the message it sends is simple: prioritise user-relevant content, for all devices. To make sure your site is up to spec, come and talk to the Net Branding team about your endeavours.

At the same time, there are very few other mediums that will allow small companies to reach such a large and widespread audience. Most New Zealand businesses have a Google Ads presence and if so, this update is for you. A recent email sent out last night highlighted a few things happening from the 1st of November, where a few very important changes to the Terms of Service come into play. Firstly, your invoices and statements will originate from a new, NZ based company.New Zealand Google Ads account contracts, amendments and agreements will be assigned to Google New Zealand Limited, as a reseller. The impact this has on you is that the invoices you receive will soon come from this new company. Not only will the name on your statement change, but new payment details and remittance information will follow. It’s crucial you take note and send payments using the new remittance information. Secondly, Google New Zealand Limited is required by law to charge a 15% GST (Goods and Services Tax) on its services.This marks a big change, as the previous Terms of Service charges were exclusive of taxes. A new line item with GST payable will be on your invoice from 1 November 2018. It’s best to talk with your tax advisor if you believe there will be tax consequences due to this change. These are all the result of a recently publicised change in model for Google New Zealand and taxes. Thirdly, certain sections of the Google Ads Terms will be changed.A copy of the new Terms of Service will be available to read and be accepted from the 1st of November. What is important to note is that neither ToS changes, contract assignment nor a change to the way you pay GST will cause any disruption to the provision of your ads. Google Ads is as dynamic as the internet itself, frequently making updates and improvements to adapt and change with the web.

The current WordPress visual editor has remained relatively unchanged for several years, and it’s about to see the biggest update yet. Whilst the current visual editor does require a lot of shortcodes and HTML to make things work, the new update, named "Gutenberg", is about to make strides towards a more robust and accessible visual option. It’s an exciting proposition: Gutenberg comes out the creative quarters of WordPress and is heading to a website near you with an aim to make things easier. Whilst Gutenberg is still in beta, there is increasing concern about the real impact it may have on current WordPress business websites. With no alternative options available to us come the release of WordPress 5.0, Gutenberg has potential to become the default editor. Here's what's new. Pros and Cons of Gutenberg for WordPress Business WebsitesThe big draw to Gutenberg is that the new visual editor makes for an improved, less distracting website page experience, and an environment that is easier to use for beginners. With that said, it’s important to take a step back and look at the potential for negative outcomes. WordPress website themes and plugins have continued to develop over time and there are literally thousands of site themes and WordPress plugins available. Many of these are actively maintained by global networks of developers. But there are also many unsupported themes still in use, because of either abandonment by the original theme developers, or “forked” to be customised to the business’s unique website requirements. Gutenberg is likely going to require thousands of developers to need to do a lot of work to ensure that their WordPress themes are compatible with this new update. So, you may be asking, do we have an option to exclude our WordPress website from this update? Sadly, the answer is No! I predict chaos will reign for businesses currently using abandoned and unsupported WordPress Themes. Inhouse development action will be required where themes have been customised, to bring them up to spec and again become suitable for business purposes. If you have any questions, feel free to be in touch with us. Our developers are ready to assist your company with all manner of digital services, including the incoming WordPress update. To our Net Branding WordPress business website clients. Much of this change, whether it is developers abandoning themes, older websites or purely the impact of the Gutenberg release on your site is well and truly beyond our control. This being said, please be assured that we are monitoring the situation and minimising any impact where possible. This email and newsletter is intended to make you aware of the wider changes that we are dealing with in the ever-changing world of websites. Regards, Cathy ### Another Facebook Hoax Message or a Real Message from Facebook after the Security Breach Facebook hackers accessed millions of contact details Another Facebook Hoax Message or a Real Message from Facebook that relates to your Facebook Profile. Late last week, social media giant Facebook revealed more details about the September security breach, stating that the hackers had been able to harvest millions of names and contact details, including email addresses and other sensitive information, from Facebook users’ accounts. However, the initial number reported of 50 million accounts accessed during the security breach has now been downscaled somewhat to around 30 million accounts. What the hackers didApparently, according to Facebook, the hackers had gained control of around 400,000 Facebook users’ accounts, which they then used in a wider attack to gain the access tokens of another 30 million Facebook users.  Access tokens are used by Facebook users to remain logged into Facebook, so they don’t need to re-enter their password every time they use the app. What the hackers gotOf the 30 million Facebook users affected by this security breach, 1 million Facebook users just had their access tokens stolen, while another 15 million Facebook users had their names and contact information stolen.  However, 14 million users had their names and contact details plus a whole heap of other personal information, such as username, gender, relationship status, hometown, self-reported current city, birth date, device types used to access Facebook, education and work, who or what they follow, recent contacts and their 15 most-recent searches. However, according to Facebook, the hackers did not get access to data from Messenger, Messenger Kids, Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus, Workplace, Pages, payments, third-party apps, or advertising or developer accounts.  And the hackers were also not able to access any private messages, with one notable exception, namely, if one of the original 400,000 users hacked was a Page Administrator whose page had received a message from someone on Facebook, then the content of that message was accessible to the hackers. The Facebook security breach and youAlthough Facebook has reset the access tokens for all of the users affected by this security breach and is continuing to investigate the whole incident, the fact remains that millions of Facebook users’ accounts and a lot of information has been compromised. It’s also important to note that Facebook’s investigation of the incident is ongoing, as it is looking at other ways that the hackers behind this attack may have used Facebook, including the possibility of other low-level access attempts on a smaller scale. So, while Facebook has since fixed the vulnerability in the code that enabled the hackers to access users’ accounts and reset the access tokens for those affected by the breach, the hackers still have a lot of information. Information they could still use to their advantage. So it’s important to pay attention to the type and sort of messages you might get via Facebook, and be careful how you respond to them. In our recent article about the latest Facebook hoax explains more about why you need to exercise caution. We also include a list of precautions you can take to safeguard yourself from the attack of hackers in the digital space, so do have a read of our article ASAP. Is your Facebook Profile affected?People can check whether they were affected by visiting Facebook's Help Center. In the coming days, they will send customized messages to the 30 million people affected to explain what information the attackers might have accessed, as well as steps they can take to help protect themselves, including from suspicious emails, text messages, or calls. Customized messages that people will see depending on how they were impacted.

If yes, then DO NOT forward this message to your Facebook friends. It’s a hoax. Why shouldn’t you forward this message to warn your other friends? Let’s talk logic:Facebook is one of the most used social networking sites in the world, and with its fame comes its challenges and ridiculous hoaxes. In the latest Facebook hoax, users are being tricked into thinking that their accounts have been cloned. Users are getting private messages from their friends, saying they’ve received a duplicate friend request from the recipient. The message says "hit forward and all the people you want to forward too. I had to do the people individually. Good Luck!". Now let’s take a step back and really think about it. Why would you forward a message to all your friends, even though you haven’t received a second friends’ request from them? You are only forwarding the message just because the sender is telling you to do so. Seems quite benign, right? Not quite. You’d be surprised at how many people are forwarding this message on to their entire friends list. While it can be said this hoax is not a threat to anyone’s profile and is being called a ‘bogus message chain’, we still urge you to really pay attention to what you receive online and what you forward to the rest of your friends. A confusing, yet harmless message today could be a malicious link tomorrow. Read about the latest Facebook security breach that put millions of users at riskHow to avoid a hack or virus attack online?With the recent Facebook security breaches and all the viruses, online scams, and bot attacks floating throughout the internet, it is important for you to be extra careful. Threats are all around us in the digital space. Even a person you trust might have fallen for a very convincing hack – as the experts in the field continue to say: “The weakest link in any security system is the user”. Hackers are leveraging malicious files, dodgy links and even social engineering to steal your private information. Take extra precautions against these threats, make sure you: Don't click on an unrecognised link shared with you Don't engage with people in messages that you don't know Don't give your personal email address online - if a hacker knows your email, it becomes easy for him to take control of all your passwords and digital assets. Don't forward messages with schemes and offers that are too good to be true. Don’t forward messages that ask you to forward that message to others. Don't open files sent to you via email or social media, by anyone unless you recognise their email. Even then, be wary. Always confirm online with the agency before clicking on through, even if the email ID looks like an official address. Taking these very simple precautions can prevent stolen passwords, bank details and damage to your server and digital assets.

This biggest-ever  Facebook security breach in the social network’s history comes at an unfortunate time, as Facebook is still working to regain the trust of its more than 2 billion users following the Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal it suffered earlier this year. Since the security breach was discovered, Facebook has alerted law enforcement agencies to the attack and is continuing its own investigation into what has happened. In addition to patching the security vulnerability, Facebook has also implemented a number of precautionary measures to protect the security of its users, as outlined below. How the Facebook security breach affected usersAfter noticing “unusual traffic” on its systems in mid-September, Facebook’s engineering team uncovered the security breach a few days ago. This unprecedented breach in Facebook security enabled an attacker to gain access to the accounts of 50 million Facebook users, and possibly tens of millions more. This attack took advantage of a flaw in the code for Facebook’s “View As” feature, which is a privacy tool that lets people see what their own Facebook profile looks like to other people. By taking advantage of the bugs in Facebook’s code connected to this “View As” feature, the attacker was able to steal ‘access tokens’ from 50 million Facebook accounts. Access tokens are the equivalent of digital keys that enable people to remain logged into Facebook, so they don’t need to re-enter their password every time they use the app. Once in possession of the access tokens, the attackers would have had full access to the 50 million Facebook accounts in question, letting them see everything in those accounts. What caused the Facebook security breach?The latest attack on Facebook security took advantage of a flaw that was introduced into Facebook code in July 2017 when Facebook made a change to their video uploading feature, which, in turn, had an impact on Facebook’s “View As” feature. What’s Facebook doing to protect its users?In addition to alerting law enforcement agencies to the security breach, immediately patching the security vulnerability and implementing a review of its security, Facebook has also: Reset or invalidated the access tokens for the 50 million affected user accounts.Reset or invalidated the access tokens of another 40 million users who used the “View As” feature since the vulnerability was introduced a year ago.Temporarily turned off the “View As” feature as an additional precautionary measure while it continues its security review.Resetting or invalidating the access tokens of these 90 million accounts has caused them to be logged out. The account holders will have to log back in again in order to access their Facebook accounts. When they do log back in, they will see a message at the top of their News Feed telling them what has happened. Facebook’s investigation of the breach is still in its early stages and the company is yet to determine whether that attackers have accessed any information in the affected accounts. Facebook is also assuring its users that if they find any more accounts affected by the security breach, they will immediately reset the access tokens for these accounts too. Looking after your own Facebook securityWhile Facebook says there’s no need for users to change passwords at this stage, they suggest that if users want to take their own precautionary step of logging out of their Facebook accounts, then to go to the “Security and Login” section in “Settings” for a one-click option to be able to log out of all places where they are logged into Facebook. Facebook Security Precaution Tip. There are a number of Facebook security steps you can take. This is potential applicable to many of your social media marketing tools. A long cryptic password with a high degree of difficulty. A setup of  2-factor authentication. A setup alerts for unrecognized logins.  To do this, go to Settings > Security and Login to review. This is also a good time to double check which apps or tools  that may have access to your Facebook account.

GET IN TOUCH ### Technical and marketing skills The digital age moves at the proverbial speed of light, and it’s constantly changing. New digital platforms pop up almost overnight, and the major ones are constantly adjusting their algorithms. If you want your business to remain relevant in today’s always online world not only do you have to ensure that digital is a major component of your marketing strategy, but you also have to make sure that you keep up with what’s going on in the digital landscape. So, what to do? The answer lies in partnering with a digital marketing agency that has the right combination of technical and marketing skills to be able to provide your business with the support you need to build a successful online presence. Oh, and you’ll also want to look for a digital marketing agency that’s been successfully supporting businesses in this way for a while, because that’s a good sign that such an agency is on top of its game in a digital marketing sense, and, equally important, knows how to stay there. Blending the art and science of digital marketingA digital marketing agency that’s on top of its game is one that’s mastered the skill of being able to successfully blend the art of marketing with the science of digital technology. Digital marketing is not only about being able to develop the right marketing strategies for specific brands, products and services, or creating high-quality content and implementing it in creative ways that will engage the target audience. Successful digital marketing also demands an understanding of the science of how people behave online and an analytical ability to measure the dynamics of specific digital marketing channels, and how to leverage these to best advantage. Added to this is the focus on SEO and understanding that this requires technical insight as well as a strong focus on technical content writing strategies and  SEO copywriting. And then there are also the requisite technical skills to, for example, be able to: Create responsive websites, Optimise an online presence for mobile, and Enable successful SEO or search engine optimization. In other words, while knowing the latest innovations within digital marketing is a must, so too is having the skills to implement the new technologies. So, when it comes to selecting a marketing agency to help your business shine in today’s ever-changing digital times, you need to focus on more than simply looking for an agency with solid marketing skills. Rather, look for the digital marketing agency that offers a diverse skill set which balances the art of marketing with the science of digital technology.

That’s simply the new reality, and if you have a business and want it to be found online by customers then the way you think about your website and how you optimise it for online search has to change. And this is why earlier this year, Google announced that it had moved to a mobile-first index. But first, what is mobile-first indexing?Indexing is the process that Google uses to capture the information on your website. The Google bot crawls the pages of your website to scan and read their content to see what the pages are about. It then indexes the pages so they can be found by people using Google to search for relevant terms. Originally, Google built is indexing process with desktop versions of websites in mind. But as we said, with most people now using smart phones to access the online world, Google wants to prioritize mobile-friendly content for mobile users when they use Google to visit a website. With the shift to mobile-first indexing, Google now gives priority to indexing the mobile version of your website over your desktop version. It’s not that Google has created a new index for its content – Google still has one index, but it has changed the way it adds content to that index, by giving priority to content that is optimised for mobile. As a result, any business that ensures its website is optimised for mobile-first indexing will be rewarded with higher traffic numbers. How to ensure your website is not affected by mobile-first indexingLike any other SEO or search engine optimization tactics, optimizing your website for mobile is all about ensuring a great experience for the user. Responsive website design ensures that you can publish the same content across any device, including mobile or tablet, that a user might use to access your website. This is why websites that use a responsive design won't be affected by Google’s mobile-first indexing because their website content is already the same for desktop and mobile. Websites that will be affected, however, are those that use separate URLs for desktop and mobile users. Why your website needs to be both responsive and optimised for mobileTo enable your website to successfully meet the criteria for Google’s mobile-first indexing you need to ensure your website is both responsive and optimised for mobile. To ensure this you need to get your mobile SEO right. Mobile SEO takes into consideration all the things that go into ensuring SEO for desktop websites – things like great content, headings, keywords – and adds things like website load speed, small image files and readability. Is your website both responsive and optimised for mobile? How can I make sure my website is optimised for Google’s mobile-first indexing?If you want to continue to ensure your business can be found online, then mobile-first indexing needs to be one of your main priorities. If you’d like to double check your website’s performance in response to Google’s mobile-first indexing requirements talk to the team at Net Branding. Out SEO specialists are helping businesses all over New Zealand ensure their websites are both responsive in design as well as optimised for mobile search to enable a great user experience for their customers.

We think one of the best ways to find out more about this powerful tool and assess your digital and social media strategies is by looking at digital and social media stats 2018. To get the best results from your digital and social media strategies, there are a number of key factors to consider. Factors such as: The digital and social media channels that you use. You need to understand the various channels, their strengths and weaknesses, and who’s using them, because your target audience will largely determine which channels you use.The content that you disseminate via your chosen channels. The key to engaging your target audience lies in having visually attractive, high-quality and useful content.Your brand’s tone of voice. Social media is all about making connections, so you need to achieve a tone of voice that is appropriate for both your brand and target audience.The 2018 Q3 Global Digital Statshot report from social media management platform Hootsuite and We Are Social, a global conversation social media marketing and communications services agency, was recently release. You can see all the charts in the report in this SlideShare, but read below for the essential digital and social media stats 2018 from the report. They will help to inform and guide your choice of channel, content and tone of voice to ensure your digital and social media marketing activities build a successful online presence for your brand. 300 million more Internet users To further underline what we’ve been saying for ages about how no business in today’s world can afford to be without an online presence is the fact that about 300 million more people started using the Internet in the 12 months to July 2018. More than half the world is on the Internet With more than 4.1 billion people online – that’s 54% of the world’s population – the Internet is the place to be. As suspected, there was also impressive growth of 11% in the number of people using social media. The additional 328 million new users of social media in the year to July 2018, means that there are now more than 3.3 billion people active on social media. Mobile is where it’s at According to the latest data, 52.5 percent of all Internet traffic happens on mobile phones. Even more impressive a figure is the fact that 92% of these the 3.3 billion people who are active on social media do so via their mobile devices. Furthermore, only 12% of Internet users who use Google are likely to access the internet via a PC or a tablet, whereas 57% will use their mobile phone. Clearly then, if your business website is not optimised for mobile users then you’re definitely missing out. The Internet is getting faster Internet access speeds increased over those reported in the previous quarter, with the average fixed connection now 8% faster than it was just three months previously. Average mobile connection speeds also increased in the same period, getting 6% or more than 1 MBPS (megabit per second) faster. To access the world’s fastest Internet connection speeds here’s where you need to be…World website rankings Online shopping giants like Amazon and Taobao continue to move up the charts, which reflects the definite upward trend in online shopping, as you’ll see in the next section about Online shopping trends. And YouTube is now the world’s second-largest search engine, behind Google and even well-ahead of Facebook. Does your digital marketing strategy include YouTube as a prime channel? People love video and it’s a great medium for promoting products and services. Online shopping trends The number of Internet users visiting online retailers each month has increased slightly to 92% (up from 91%). However, more than 75% of these shoppers converted at least one of their visits into a purchase. That’s a lot of online sales! There’s also been significant growth in the use of shopping apps, with 65% of women (up from 61% previously) and 62% of men (up from 59% previously) on the Internet using a shopping app each month. The world’s most searched topic It’s probably not surprising that the recent FIFA World Cup event would become the most searched topic in the Global Digital Statshot report for the third quarter of 2018. Global Internet search volumes for the topic increased a massive 2,000%. And the FIFA World Cup trend continued in the realm of social media too, with star players seeing huge jumps in the number of people following them – with the likes of Leo Messi and Neymar Jr, respectively, adding 7.7 million and 10 million more followers to their Instagram accounts. There was also impressive growth in the number of people and the amount of time they spent watching live-streaming of the various matches on their mobile devices. Growth in using voice search There’s a growing trend in the number of people speaking ‘to’ their mobile devices, with a global average of more than 37% of Internet users using voice search and voice commands. However, the trends vary from country to country, as personal levels of comfort and/or the level of acceptance culturally with using voice commands in public spaces do and will determine the extent of voice interface use. Younger people are more likely to use voice, with 45 percent of the world’s internet users aged between 16 and 24 saying that they used voice interfaces last month, compared to just 17 percent of 55 to 64 year-olds. The growth in the use of voice search will continue to grow as all the big Internet companies, such as Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Tencent, and Baidu, are making voice part-and-parcel of their latest services, apps and devices. Social media advertising audience reach Although Facebook is still the leading platform in the world of social media, gaining an additional 67 million users to take its tally to 2.2 billion active users, YouTube is starting to nip at its heel, with more than 1.9 billion active users. And while Instagram recently described itself as “a community of more than 1 billion” that number indicates active accounts instead of active users, which is a number of 844 million people. Also, the average age of Facebook users is increasing, with a 1% drop from 35% to 34% in the number of below the age of 25. In addition to the recent closing of 70 million fake accounts there have been other significant changes in the advertising audience that can be reached via Twitter. Notably the fact that male users now account for 64% of Twitter’s advertising audience, up from just 57% in the last quarter, and that the average age of a third of Twitter’s advertising audience is now below 25-years-old. Facebook versus Instagram – some quick stats Facebook ad audience Instagram ad audience • 2.026 billion people can be reached via ads on Facebook • 844 million people can be reached via ads on Instagram • 24% of Facebook pages use paid media • Of the potential Instagram ad audience: • Of the potential Facebook ad audience: - 57% is male; 43% is female - 49.7% is male; 50.3% is female - 35% (or 709 million users) is under 25 years of age - 39% (or 329 million users) is under 25 years of age - 13% (or 263 million users) is over 50 years of age - 9% (76 million users) is over 50 years of age So, more men are on Facebook, while more women are on Instagram. And Instagram has a slightly higher percentage of its ad audience under the age of 25. Although LinkedIn doesn’t report the number of monthly active users, the platform does have more than 560 million registered users and attracts almost 300 million unique visitors each month. Of interest are the facts that more than 70% of LinkedIn users are outside the USA and that it’s still the only large Western social platform that isn’t blocked in China, where it has 41 million users. Dramatic drop in Facebook ad clicks One of the most significant stats contained in this quarter’s report is the fact that clicks on Facebook ads have dropped by a massive 20%. However, this result merely indicates the behaviour of Facebook users, i.e. clicking fewer ads, rather than an indication that Facebook advertising is performing less well. Remember, Facebook ads can accomplish various objectives, including raising brand awareness or reach, without require users to click the ad. There have also been drops in other types of Facebook engagement, with users ‘liking’ a median of 10 posts in the last 30 days, as opposed to ‘liking’ 11 posts three months ago. Also, comments on Facebook posts is down, from five comments per month in April to four comments per month in July. Overall, average engagement with Facebook posts is down 4% over the previous quarter. Why has Facebook engagement fallen so much? Who can say for sure. Maybe all the often-less-than-positive recent media coverage of Facebook’s privacy issues have played a role. Then again it could simply be a case of advertisers changing the way they use Facebook ads from requiring ‘click’ engagement to merely driving awareness instead. Or it could be the result of Facebook’s own changes to the way it focuses its Newsfeed. More likely the drop in the level of Facebook ad clicks and engagement is as result of a combination of these and other factors. However, the point to be taken from these results though is to make sure that you don’t focus your digital marketing efforts on only one digital or social media channel. Far better to spread your content across a variety of channels. Smartphones dominate in mobile With more than 5.3 billion smartphones in use globally, smartphones now account for 60% of all mobile connections – and the consumption of data continues to grow accordigly, with the average smartphone now using 3.4GB of mobile data each month. More than 28 billion mobile apps were downloaded in the second quarter of 2018, at a cost of $18.5 billion USD, which equates to an average revenue per handset of $3.48 USD. Not surprisingly, as the leading social media platform, Facebook still tops the ranking of new mobile apps downloads. For example, in June, Facebook apps accounted for four out of the five most downloaded apps. In the mobile-apps-by-revenue rankings, download of games apps dominate – with Japanese and Australian users leading in the per-capita spend stakes. When it comes to smartphone operating systems, Android and iOS still account for the lion’s share of the global mobile market, at around 96%, but with Android the leading operating system, responsible for 77% of all web page requests coming from mobile devices. Wrapping up our digital and social media stats 2018 update The key learning from these digital and social media stats 2018 is that social media remains as important as ever when it comes to your digital marketing efforts. And while the channels you use and the content you put on them will vary depending on your sector of the market and your target audience, overall having engaging content, responding quickly and being willing to invest in advertising will help you achieve the online presence your desire.

It’s hard to build up your brand so that it gets recognised by enough people, who also trust it sufficiently, to be able to make it sustainable and profitable. In fact, these two things – customer recognition and trust – make all the difference when it comes to the survival of any business. However, building recognition and trust is particularly hard when no-one knows who you are – and the biggest problem with obscurity is how it affects your bottom line because obscurity means that no-one is buying from you. What’s more, in our modern digital age, an age of social media in which there is so much hype about fake news, inauthentic claims and online fraud, just how do you connect with your market and build trust when just about everyone is questioning authenticity at every level and trying to separate fact from fiction? People buy from businesses they recognize and trust It’s a fact that most people tend to stick with who and what they know – and buy the products and services from businesses they recognize and trust. What that means for your new brand, product or service is that you’ve got a bit of a job on your hands. Before you can even start to worry about your competition you’ve first got to sort out your obscurity problem. However, while the online marketplace is a noisy and cluttered one, and rising above the level of obscurity is the name of the game, it’s also a great leveller of the playing field too, because even a small business can become a recognisable brand online, if you do it right. 5 ways to build recognition and trust So, just how do you raise your business above the obscurity level, and build recognition and digital trust with your audience in our digital age? Here are 5 key ways to do that. Ensure you only provide high-quality content on your online channels, including your website and social media profiles. But while the quality of your content is always important, how you deliver that content is crucial too. The digital audience is fickle and their attention span is very short, so good content has to be presented in appealing and interesting ways. Talk about the things that matter to your audience on your social channels. The online world is a world of ‘connections’ and ‘engagement’. People connect and engage with the topics that matter to them – and when they find a like-minded business, they are more likely to engage more readily with it too. Be personal. Personalization is very important if your business is based on your personal brand. As we said, the online world is all about ‘connections’, so make it easy for your audience to connect with you by making the person behind your brand visible to them – as someone with whom they can connect and to whom they can relate. A simple thing like sharing a photo or video of yourself so people can see and hear who they are dealing with is very valuable.Be helpful. This is one of the best ways to build trust. Providing valuable information, always being ready to answer questions, consistently showing that you know what you’re doing, and doing what you say you will do, will, over time, enable you to build the reputation that your business needs to convince people to start buying form you.Cultivate customer reviews. You could be good at what you do; you could deliver what you say you will; but until someone else vouches for you, you’ll not make much headway in the online marketplace. In the digital age, people about to making a purchasing decision first go online to see what others have to say about the products and services they’re looking for. In other words, purchasing decisions today start with reviews. So, reviews from other people, people who have bought your product or service are fantastic for building credibility – do everything you can to encourage online reviews, especially Google business reviews, and ask your customers for testimonials to place on your websites.When all is said and done, be consistent and clear about your message, product or service, ALWAYS stay true to your word, consistently share valuable and value-adding information, and use your social media channels to engage in the true sense of the word with your customers and prospective customers. If you do these things, you’ll soon start to acquire the recognition and build the level of trust you need to ensure your business will prosper in the online marketplace.

But that was before we found ourselves in the digital age. Instead of playing outside with friends from next door, whose families we’ve known for years, kids now play inside and online – connecting, texting and chatting digitally with friends in a virtual playground as it were. So what to do now, in this new world of online encounters in which we can’t even depend on the physical appearance and signals that we used to rely on to try to judge whether a person was trustworthy or not? As someone who operates a business specialising in helping other businesses develop their digital marketing strategies, I get to talk to many people about what’s going on in the online world, which is great. However, as a parent my hair literally stands on end at some of the things I hear happening out there – and it worries me. Because how do we keep our children safe from the predators in this digital environment in which invisible strangers are potentially just a click away from becoming our child’s online ‘friend’? The digital stranger danger The digital world is everywhere – in our homes, in our kids’ schools – so nowhere are they immune from the danger anymore. In fact, the danger could even be greatest precisely where our children go to be safe! Take school, for example. Pretty much everyone at school these days has a smartphone, and everyone is on one or other or more social networks. School mates tend to join one another’s social networks so they can enjoy non-stop chat or see who’s doing what and where. (By the way, did you know that some social media apps even reveal their users’ exact locations?) And while many such relationships are above board and fine, others take a whole different direction. Picture these 2 scenarios for example: Jane has befriended the rest of her classmates, including Fiona, on social media. In due course, Fiona starts to talk to Jane about rather intimate things and asks her to share very personal information and photos about herself via messenger. Fortunately, because Jane had been taught to talk to her parents whenever she came across anything on social media that made her uncomfortable, action could be taken before any damage could be done. The ensuing investigation reveals that Fiona is not acting alone, but is being manipulated by adults trying to establish a paedophile network from a source where it would be least expected. Or what about Tom, a teen who is into online gaming. Eventually, he starts playing online with someone he doesn’t know. The casual online chat reaches a point where the person convinces Tom to open a separate account where they can talk privately online. One thing leads to another and Tom is tricked into sharing an inappropriate picture of himself with the person. At that point, Tom is threatened with exposure if he doesn’t keep sending more pictures. If Tom doesn’t have a relationship of trust and openness with his parents and a clear idea of what to do even if he has made a mistake like this, then he could be cornered. Unfortunately, the scenarios described above are neither rare nor fictitious. The fake profiles that approach kids on social media or elsewhere online via someone they think they know but who is actually a front for something way more sinister are happening right now in communities all around the world. Also, read an 11-year old's simple online safety tips that your kid should also know: https://netbranding.co.nz/blog/best-cyber-safety-tips/ Online stranger danger and your child Owing to the very pervasive nature of the now ever-present online world, this sort of thing is definitely happening in our communities here in New Zealand, including in our schools – in fact it could even be happening in your child’s school. Ironically, giving our kids a mobile phone is one of the ways we’ve come up with to help keep them safe – so they can contact us at all times. But that smartphone can also be the very portal for the digital predator to get to our children. Of course, taking away the phone is not the solution because, unfortunately, where there are children, there will always be predators. And anywhere that kids spend time online is also the place the predators will go too. So, what to do about the problem? What you can do as a parent to protect your child As parents, we need to be doubly vigilant and engaged in guarding the digital doorways to our children. One way to start is by taking stock of where and how your child can get online. Give it a go – you’ll find that the list you come up with is a sobering one. Open an account on any online community where our children play these days and you’ll see nothing but good-looking, clean-cut profile pictures with everyone saying all the right things. How would you tell the tricky profile from the rest? How can a child tell? Since everyone looks normal and nice online in this digital age we need to teach our children to identify the ‘stranger danger’ not by what they look like, but by what they say. The very nature of social media tends to make all of us, adults and children alike, share all sorts of relatively minor details about us with others. The online predator trawls these details to pick up on clues in them and use them to their advantage. The digital stranger danger tries to trick kids into becoming their friends, and tricky people ask a lot of questions – way too many questions, in fact. Even nice-enough sounding questions like, “I see you also enjoy swimming. Where do you usually go to swim?” can get the predatory ball rolling. Teaching your child to deal with the problem is vital Trust is the key to developing any relationship online, which the digital predators know very well. So their grooming techniques focus on slowly breaking down the boundaries until they reach the point where their tricky questions have netted them enough information to help them build up a ‘friendship’ with the child to enable them to close their trap. So, it's vital that parents speak to their children about staying safe online. Have you talked to your children about the online stranger danger – about people who ask too many tricky questions? Have you given them examples of tricky questions? If your child is on social media, are they ready to deal with innocent looking but potentially tricky questions? Questions like “What’s your school like? Where is it? or What’s your room like? What do you like to do there? 5 steps to deal with the digital stranger danger There are a number of ways to ensure your children stay as safe as possible online – here are 5 of the most important steps you can take: Don’t pretend the danger doesn’t exist – talk to your kids about online strangers and predators – help them understand that it’s very important to talk to you or some other adult they trust immediately if they experience anything online that makes them feel uncomfortable. Children need to be able to talk to a trusted adult, preferably their parents. Secure the online devices that your kids use with the appropriate parental controls. If they use computers outside your home, for example in school or at a friend's home, find out what parental controls are on those devices and how they’re being monitored. Keep and use online devices in a family area so you can keep an eye on what going on. It's way more difficult for your child to talk to a stranger online if they’re in such a space in your home. Teach your children not to respond to instant messages, txt messages, emails or requests to be a ‘friend’ on social networks from strangers – and to tell you immediately if they receive any such communications. Tell your child to never reveal their age, gender or any other personal information about themselves of their family to anyone online or in their online profiles. If any such information is required to create an online account, make sure it is restricted and private so no one else can view it. 3 steps to take if your encounter online stranger danger. Knowing that your child has been targeted by a predator can be earth-shattering. However, if your child has been targeted and they’ve trusted you enough to be able to tell you of something they’ve been tricked into doing without fearing a backlash from you, then it’s very important you treat them lovingly. Keep your wits about you and take quick action by following these 3 steps. Immediately contact the police – they are trained to deal with online predators. Monitor the communication that’s been happening with your child and don’t let the perpetrators know you’re on to them as pictures and profiles can easily be deleted. Save as much of the evidence as you can so you can pass it on to the police. If you’re not sure how to capture the evidence ask someone who is tech-savvy and whom you can trust to help you. Keep a log of all the interactions you can see have happened – use a camera to video the evidence trail rather than take screen shots, as screen shots tend to only show the interactions in isolation whereas with video you can scroll through the entire trail of interactions.

In just a few years, pretty much everything about the way we communicate has changed, especially for businesses. In the past, if a business wanted to get news about itself or its products and services out into the wider world, they either had to buy advertising space or issue a media release in the hope that a journalist would pick up the story and run with it. Nowadays, however, with social media at the fingertips of just about everyone on the planet, the entire population has become the reporter, using 280-character announcements, video messages, instant stories and ‘status updates’ to break news faster than you can say “media release”. So, can the traditional media release still play a role in the modern digital marketing strategy? The media release in a world of short attention spans In our new digital world, even the proverbial goldfish with its short attention span has competition, after a recent study by Microsoft revealed that people now generally lose concentration one second faster than that fickle fish. This just serves to highlight how the increasing digital lifestyles in today’s world are affecting the human brain. It would seem then that there simply couldn’t be a place for the carefully crafted media release in a world of such constant transience, or could there be? Just think what a good media release was designed to do. A properly crafted media release was designed to: Grab attention Reach a wide audience State the facts Build brand recognition and respect Yet those are exactly the same goals any modern-day business has with the various components of its digital marketing strategy! There’s still room for the media release in the multi-faceted digital marketing strategy And that’s precisely the point isn’t it? Engaging with your target audience in today’s digital marketplace does not comprise a single solution but is, instead, multi-faceted and incorporates the full spectrum of digital marketing tactics, including social media, your website, email marketing, video and even still the media release. While the media release can’t compete as a news vehicle with the fast-moving pace of the social media world, when used correctly, it can still be a valuable digital marketing tool. A carefully written media release can still grab attention in our increasingly noisy world. Success, however, will depend on the quality and content of your media release. Like any other content favoured by the search engines, media releases in the digital age need to be short and to the point and provide an information angle that really matters to the reader. 4 media release tips to enhance your digital marketing strategy A well-written media release that serves as a thought-leadership piece is a great vehicle for building the reputation of your brand and will go a long way to enhancing your digital marketing strategy. Here are four practical tips to help you craft a media release that will do the job: Ensure headlines are short and snappy as well as attention-grabbing. Begin with a short summary that explains exactly why the reader should read it – this is where you make the reader want to care about your story. Where appropriate or relevant, include a variety of content, including visual, such as images, video and infographics. Conclude with a strong call-to-action, including a link back to your website. Once you’ve crafted your media release make sure you share it with everyone in your business too. Not only will this ensure they keep up to date on company news, but they can also share it with others via their social networks, as well as with customers. If you distribute an email newsletter to customers on your mailing list, then you should also include your media release here too. How to build a winning digital marketing strategy If you have a compelling story to tell, then having a digital marketing strategy that makes use of every avenue to do so clearly and creatively will help you not only break through the noise in today’s crowded digital marketplace but will also successfully capture the attention of your target audience.

If you’re a small business, then your budget for advertising your brand, products or services will probably only stretch so far, which could mean you may have to choose between using either traditional advertising or digital advertising methods to market your business. So, what’s the difference between traditional advertising and digital advertising – and more importantly, why does it matter? Traditional advertising vs digital advertising In a nutshell, traditional advertising covers things like adverts in printed newspapers and magazines, advertisements on billboards, radio and television, flyers in mailboxes, in-store brochures and posters, and so on. Digital advertising, on the other hand, refers to the advertising you find on the Internet, so it includes things like your business website and advertising your brand, products or services via the channels that use the Internet, e.g. social media channels and email. Why digital advertising is the place to be Of course, the goal with any advertising is to reach consumers where they are, and in this day and age, they’re mostly on their mobile devices. The advent of smart phones and the unprecedented accessibility it offers has reshaped the way people consume all forms of media, including advertising. The fact that mobile is now the leading medium around the world means that any business that wants to prosper will have to advertise via this growing platform, and the only way to do that is via digital advertising. Traditional versus digital advertising – where the real value lies When it comes to advertising your brand, products or services you need to choose the advertising approach that will be most effective for your business. That involves choosing the most cost-effective advertising medium for ensuring the greatest, targeted reach – in other words, getting the biggest bang for your buck – while at the same time providing you with tangible proof that your advertising is working. To help you decide which advertising method is best for you, here are 3 of the most important differences between traditional and digital advertising: 1. Targeted messaging: With traditional advertising you’re basically buying a ‘spot’ in or on an advertising medium based mainly on how many people could be reached by that medium, instead of how many of the right people it could reach. In the case of digital advertising, you can be a lot more precise, right down to reaching a niche market and a specific audience. So, instead of creating a blanket message for a blanket audience, with digital advertising you can tailor your efforts to be able to reach the exact audience you need to reach and in the way they want to be reached. 2. Cost effective: Advertising in newspapers and magazines or on billboards, radio or television can be very expensive. Also, printing any material is costly and cannot easily be changed once printed. Plus there’s always a cost involved in distributing any printed material too. Digital advertising on the other hand is very cost-effective, with the potential to reach thousands of people with just a single post, and the ability to tweak and change advertising as your advertising campaign unfolds and in response to the results you get. 3. Real-time measurement: Understanding which advertisements work the best and where to place those adverts is one of the most important ways to increase your profits, which is why tracking customers and knowing how they found you has been a question marketers have faced since the start of advertising. With traditional advertising such as a billboard or radio advert, measuring the return on your investment can be difficult, because it’s nearly impossible to find out how many people saw or heard the advert, and then being able to determine how many who did see or hear it ended up buying your product or service as a result. With digital advertising and the right tools, however, you can easily and quickly check on your advertising campaign and find out in real time how many people are seeing your advert and, if you sell online, whether they are buying your product or service as a result of your advertising. If you have a limited budget for advertising then getting this sort of information is extremely valuable. By being able to quickly find out what’s working and what’s not working for your business online you’re can easily adapt you efforts to improve your results. This is only possible with digital advertising methods. Digital advertising levels the playing field Traditionally, smaller businesses tended to struggle to compete in the advertising space with larger businesses and their typically bigger advertising budgets. However, the online world has changed all that. Now any business with a solid digital marketing strategy that includes an effective digital advertising plan can compete with any competitor regardless of size. On the other hand, larger businesses can struggle to communicate authentically. Digital and social media can shine a light on the personality and authenticity of its senior figures. When executives take to Twitter and build a direct relationship with the public, it's a significant boon to their personal and company perception. Being genuine can be a challenge, no matter the size of your business.

The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is a new European Union (EU) regulation that is designed to give EU citizens more control over their personal data. GDPR will come into force on 25th May 2018. Non-compliance could bring with it unprecedented fines to companies that don't adequately protect the data of EU citizens. Get Your GDPR Compliance Kit here How will GDPR affect businesses? Under GDPR regulations, businesses, not just in the EU, but across the world, will have to make changes to their company’s personal data collection policies. Companies will now have to explain to their customers how their internal processes use their data, from where this data is collected, why this data is collected, and how the company decides what to do with the data. Companies will also need their customers’ consent when collecting any personal information at all. What does GDPR mean for a New Zealand business? Even though the GDPR has been formulated to protect the citizens of the EU, these new rules will also have an impact on businesses outside the EU that potentially handle personal data of anyone residing in the EU. So, irrespective of whether you are in New Zealand, Australia, USA, or China or any other country outside the EU, you need to review your internal data processing procedures or risk hefty fines for non-compliance. Any company that is not physically present in the EU, operates an e-commerce business, or operates in industries such as logistics, software services, travel and hospitality should take extra measures to ensure they comply with the GDPR. In fact, we think it is important for all businesses. So, if you have an online website or social networking profile for your business, you really need to make sure you comply with these new rules. The reason for this is that if you operate your business online, you have no control over who uses your website, who submits your forms, who purchases your products or who interacts with your social networking sites. What are GDPR non-compliance fines? Non-compliance with the GDPR could result on hefty fines being imposed on any business that controls or processes data. This law gives the EU data protection authorities the power to impose a number of fines on businesses ranging up to: €10 million, or 2% of the company’s worldwide annual revenue of the prior financial year, whichever is higher, or €20 million, or 4% of the company’s worldwide annual revenue of the prior financial year, whichever is higher.

In addition to a significant drop in the price of its shares and pressure on its CEO Mark Zuckerberg to please explain to governments and politicians about the way Facebook treats its users’ data, it has also had to delay plans to reveal new, much-speculated-about hardware that the company has been developing. And it’s had to take steps to review how it deals with the privacy of its users’ data, including bringing in more restrictive rules around the sort of information that app makers can collect via Facebook’s service. Privacy issues have long been a thorn in the side of the relationship between Facebook and its users. However, following recent reports that political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica had been able to acquire information about 50 million Facebook users without their permission, the latest transgression has sparked a crisis of confidence and forced a bit of a public reckoning for the social media giant. Facebook Data Privacy Crisis Delays New Hardware Reveal Facebook has been working on new consumer home products, including a device that is rumoured to be called “Portal”, which will come with connected speakers and video-chat capabilities – a gadget that could be Facebook's answer to devices such as Amazon’s “Echo Show” and other newly-announced products using Google Assistant from the likes of Lenovo, Sony and LG. This is all part of Facebook’s plan to become more intimately involved with its users’ everyday social lives. Facebook was hoping to reveal its new device during an upcoming conference. However, as concerns increase around the latest Facebook user data privacy crisis and Facebook’s collection and use of personal data, this might not be a good time to ask Facebook users to trust it with even more information by allowing it to place a connected device in their homes. As a result, Facebook will delay the unveiling of its new home products. Redesigning Facebook’s Privacy Settings Furthermore, in response to public outrage over the way it has allowed its user data to be mishandled, Facebook is apparently reviewing the privacy settings on its network. The review is purported to include rolling out a new privacy shortcuts menu that will let people regulate the amount of personal information Facebook keeps on them, enable users to be able to delete things they’ve already shared and allowed users to manage the information that Facebook uses to determine what advertising to show them. The review is also said to include a deeper review of the new home products that Facebook was hoping to reveal soon, to ensure that they too make the right trade-offs when it comes to protecting the user data.

Get In Touch! ### Digital marketing reality check on the Facebook News Feed Update It’s probably safe to say that change is the ‘new black’ in the world of social media and digital marketing. That’s because the online world is fast-moving and ever-changing. Therefore we have to design our digital marketing strategies to be able to roll with the punches, so to speak, by taking account of such change and making allowances for it. Case in point is the Facebook News Feed Update – just when we might think we have Facebook nailed as a key component of our digital marketing strategy, Facebook changes some or other part of the Facebook algorithm, and we all have to go back to the drawing board to adapt our strategies accordingly. Is that disruptive to our own online marketing? Sure. Does it take us by surprise? Maybe, but it really shouldn’t because we’ve all known for a long time that things are constantly changing on Facebook. We’ve had to deal with their changes before – and we’ve adapted to them and carried on – and we’ll have to deal with their changes, in some or other form, again in future. What to do about Facebook’s latest change to its news feed algorithm? There’s no real need to panic about the recently announced changes to the Facebook news feed algorithm that will take effect around July this year. After all, it’s just another one in a long line of Facebook changes. But does that mean we sit back and do nothing? Definitely not. But instead of getting swept along by all the hype out there that this latest change means that Facebook can no longer be a viable tool in one’s digital marketing toolkit, it’s better to take a step back and get some perspective on your digital marketing efforts. Facebook is merely one component of a digital marketing strategy When you take a holistic look at the full spectrum of your digital marketing efforts you’ll realise that rather than Facebook is the key to making your business successful online, it’s merely one component of your online marketing strategy. Instead, the secret to success lies in using the things you can’t fully control, like Facebook, to your best advantage where and when you can, while at the same time focusing more on the things you can control. Things like your website, your blog posts, the content you create for your website and the various other digital marketing channels that you use, including Facebook, that will engage your audience (and position you as an authority in your particular industry). Success online is all about engaging your target audience The whole purpose of the latest changes to the Facebook news feed algorithm (according to Facebook) is to highlight content for its users that will improve their well-being, and get them talking and engaging. Nothing new in that is there? After all, we’ve been saying for years that valuable content that engages your target audience is the key to success in using social media for business. Of course, not all brands are created equal when it comes to stirring up audience talk about them, especially on social media. In fact, many target audiences simply don’t want to talk about a brand on social media, including Facebook. Brands or businesses such as garden services, electronics suppliers, lawyers and accountants (and hundreds of others) are not known for being the sort of brands that people want to talk to or about on social media. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Maybe your brand is one where your perfect target customer just doesn’t feel the need to engage with your content publicly on some or other social network. That’s also quite OK. But here’s the important bit to remember. Just because your target audience doesn’t feel the need to engage publicly with your brand on social media, that doesn’t mean they don’t visit your website or watch your videos or read your blogs or social media posts. All it means is they’re not commenting on your posts (including your Facebook posts); it doesn’t mean they’re not reading them, or thinking about them, or quietly making decisions to take some or other action as a result of them. Digital marketing reality check: Facebook is not your only avenue to online success So, the digital marketing reality check is namely this: while Facebook, with its billion+ users, does present a huge opportunity to grow a business online, engaging with your target audience via Facebook is not your only avenue to online success. Instead of focusing all your digital marketing efforts solely on Facebook engagement, focus rather on developing top-quality content for the right mix of online marketing components (which can still include Facebook) that will attract and engage the specific target audience for your unique business. If you’re serious about building a successful online profile for your business, then it’s time you partnered with Net Branding, a leading Auckland digital marketing company. We’re just a click or phone call away, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with the team at Net Branding today to find out more about how we can help you develop a digital marketing strategy that will ensure an effective online presence for your business.

Last week, we spoke about the latest crisis of confidence in Facebook’s ability to protect its users’ data privacy, after it was revealed that political consulting and data-mining firm Cambridge Analytica had been able to acquire information about 50 million Facebook users, without their permission. That scandal led to renewed questions about whether the world's largest social media platform does enough to protect the sensitive data it collects from its users. Reeling from its worst ever privacy crisis Facebook went into full damage control and initiated a user privacy review. Protecting Your Information takes effect this Monday The initial outcome of that privacy review will start to take effect as of Monday, when the tens of millions of Facebook users who might have had their data shared with Cambridge Analytica will get a message on their news feeds to alert as to whether their information may have been improperly shared with Cambridge Analytica. In addition, all of the 2+ billion users of Facebook will also see a notice entitled “Protecting Your Information” at the top of their news feed. The notice will include a link that will enable users to see which apps are connected to their Facebook accounts and what information those apps are allowed to see. Facebook users will then also have the ability to delete any apps they no longer use or want to use, as well as being able to completely turn off third-party access to their apps. How to protect your personal data online The issues highlighted by the recent Facebook data privacy scandal is, however, no reason to panic and run for the hills, so to speak, by deleting your Facebook account. After all, we all share massive amounts of information about ourselves in the form of digital footprints whenever and wherever we go online. Furthermore, if you’re in business, Facebook, despite the constant tweaks to its News Feed algorithm, still presents businesses with an awesome channel into a massive audience. So, no, no need to “throw the baby out with the bathwater” as they say. However, these recent events on Facebook are a good reminder of the importance of taking as many reasonable and practicable steps as possible to protect data about ourselves and our businesses online, whether that be on Facebook or any other social media platform that we might be using. Steps such as: Always being mindful about what you’re sharing on Facebook or any other online medium (remember once it’s out there it’s always out there...) Taking note of exactly what terms and conditions you accept when you sign up for apps Regularly checking and adjusting your privacy settings Deleting apps you no longer wish to use.

But did you know that the second most popular search engine is YouTube? Yup, that’s right – YouTube is a search engine, and it has some very impressive stats, like the fact that more than 1 billion unique users visit YouTube each month. So search engine optimization (SEO) is just as important for video content on YouTube as it is for website SEO on Google – in fact, even more so, because owing to the fact that YouTube is owned by Google, YouTube videos (with the right SEO) enjoy better search engine ranking on Google too. So what then is video SEO? What is video SEO? In the same way that you have website SEO, so you also have video SEO. It simply means optimizing your video content so that it can be indexed and ranked for relevant keyword searches on the results pages of the search engines. But first, let’s take a brief step back and look at why you should even be thinking in the first place of including video (video content, video advertising) as an online tactic in your digital marketing strategy. Why have video content? Time and again we’ve stressed the importance of constantly producing fresh, relevant and informative content. Paired with that is the fact that most people are visual learners. This is even more relevant now that we’ve become a very mobile society. While not everyone enjoys a good read anymore, many people are very receptive to watching short video clips, which can be watched on pretty much any platform (laptop, smartphone, tablet). These days, most people have a smartphone that has the ability to shoot a decent enough video anywhere – as a result, it’s now pretty much impossible to browse the Internet without seeing a video. There, in a nutshell, is why creating videos is so essential for the effectiveness of any brand’s digital marketing strategy. But what’s the point of creating videos if they’re not going to rank in the search engine results? Why is video good for SEO? Before we look at a few optimization strategies to give your videos the best chance at higher rankings, let’s recap on the top 3 reasons why video is good for SEO. YouTube is the world’s 2nd largest search engine, so videos that have got their SEO right will enjoy a far higher ranking and hence more traffic than those that don’t. YouTube videos also rank on the search engine of its owner, Google – subject, of course, to Google’s relevant algorithm. So the better a video’s SEO the higher it will rank in both search engines (like the proverbial “two birds with one stone”). Video content is more likely to be shared. Owing to their visual nature, videos are more often shared via social media networks and have a much greater chance of going ‘viral’ and generating ‘likes’ than written content. Google pays a lot of positive attention to that sort of thing. So, there you have it – 3 key reasons why video SEO is so important for your digital marketing strategy’s video advertising tactics. Now for some tried and tested tips to give your videos a better chance at a higher search engine ranking. 5 tips for good video SEO Choose an apt title for and write a good description of your video: The title and metadata for your video are important for determining its search rankings. Ensure you include the keywords that people are actually searching for, but without, of course, stuffing the title and description with them so they don’t really make any sense. That’s neither attractive to people or search engines! Include an engaging thumbnail image for your video with the desired words you want to be found for: Even more important than the title is the video thumbnail that a searcher will see when your video is indexed. Don’t forget, people are highly susceptible to anything that’s visual, so the thumbnail will have a significant effect on whether or not people will click on it. If your thumbnail is an engaging, good-quality image that is relevant for what you’re trying to rank (i.e. what people are searching for), then there’s a much greater chance they will click on it. Include a transcript of your video: The text that comes up with a video on an online feed is known as the video’s transcript. Transcripts are like page copy, which makes it easier for the search engines to index them and, in turn, rank them more easily for search. Make sure your page is relevant to your video and optimized for SEO: It makes no sense to ensure your video SEO is spot on, but the page on which you put it on your website isn’t. After all, you want to make sure the search engine is interested enough to crawl your page, to begin with – otherwise, it will never find the great video you’ve put there. So, continue to create high-quality content and ensure the SEO of all your pages are in good order, and you’ll see the right results. Make your video relevant to your page: Don’t simply dump a video on any old page. Make sure it makes sense for visitors to find it there – in other words, ensure the page and the video is relevant to one another. And if that’s the case, then it also makes sense to make the video the whole focus of the page and to ensure it’s the first thing people see when they get to that page. Don’t make them scroll to have to find it. People don’t like to have to go scratching around to find something, no matter how good the item (in this case, your video) might be – and the search engines won’t bother either. How to promote video SEO through paid advertising Of course, Google and other search engines are constantly tweaking and changing their search algorithms in line with the changing preferences of their users. So, SEO is always going to be a bit of a moving feast. Therefore, investing in paid video advertising, e.g. paid Google advertising, Google AdWords and YouTube advertising, is sometimes the only logical way to get more clicks on your video as a way to accelerate organic growth in your online marketing campaigns. Organic growth will then, in turn, advance the SEO of your video. Include video advertising in your digital marketing strategy Videos, such as product demonstrations, how-to tutorials and customer testimonials, are a great way to make your business more ‘human’ and trustworthy in the eyes of your customers and potential customers. Therefore, no digital marketing strategy that wants to deliver tangible results should be without a video component. If you’d like to find out more about the benefits of including video in your online marketing strategy and how to do video SEO that will get more eyes on your products or services, then simply talk to the SEO experts at Auckland digital marketing agency.

In addition to a significant drop in the price of its shares and pressure on its CEO Mark Zuckerberg to please explain to governments and politicians about the way Facebook treats its users’ data, it has also had to delay plans to reveal new, much-speculated-about hardware that the company has been developing. And it’s had to take steps to review how it deals with the privacy of its users’ data, including bringing in more restrictive rules around the sort of information that app makers can collect via Facebook’s service. The Facebook data privacy issue that sparked a crisis Privacy issues have long been a thorn in the side of the relationship between Facebook and its users. However, following recent reports that political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica had been able to acquire information about 50 million Facebook users without their permission, the latest transgression has sparked a crisis of confidence and forced a bit of a public reckoning for the social media giant. Data privacy crisis delays new hardware reveal Facebook has been working on new consumer home products, including a device that is rumoured to be called “Portal”, which will come with connected speakers and video-chat capabilities – a gadget that could be Facebook's answer to devices such as Amazon’s “Echo Show” and other newly-announced products using Google Assistant from the likes of Lenovo, Sony and LG. This is all part of Facebook’s plan to become more intimately involved with its users’ everyday social lives. Facebook was hoping to reveal its new device during an upcoming conference. However, as concerns increase around the latest data privacy crisis and Facebook’s collection and use of personal data, this might not be a good time to ask Facebook users to trust it with even more information by allowing it to place a connected device in their homes. As a result, Facebook will delay the unveiling of its new home products. Redesigning Facebook’s privacy settings Furthermore, in response to public outrage over the way it has allowed its users’ private data to be mishandled, Facebook is apparently reviewing the privacy settings on its network. The review is purported to include rolling out a new privacy shortcuts menu that will let people regulate the amount of personal information Facebook keeps on them, enable users to be able to delete things they’ve already shared and allow users to manage the information that Facebook uses to determine what advertising to show them. The review is also said to include a deeper review of the new home products that Facebook was hoping to reveal soon, to ensure that they too make the right trade-offs when it comes to protecting the data privacy of users. Want to know more about using Facebook for your business? If you’d like to have an informed discussion about Facebook and how to use it, and other social media platforms, to advance the online profile of your business, then simply get in touch with the team at Net Branding. Our digital marketing specialists will be able to talk you though the options and what’s best for the specific needs of your business. ### LinkedIn Image Dimensions and Aspect Ratio Update LinkedIn Image Dimensions and Aspect Ratio Update When LinkedIn offers the ability to reach more than 65 million business professionals, it is extremely important to have your communication come across as clear and effective as possible. As many users traverse personal and company profiles every day, it becomes paramount to pique their interest with high-impact content - making use of visual media at the right image dimensions for the greatest effect. Net Branding was alerted to a change in the ideal image dimensions for the greatest impact on the platform. We found our best practices superseded and images were now cropped, failing to deliver the value they should. The internet remains an incredibly dynamic and ever-changing medium. LinkedIn image size standards are no exception. We looked into the issue and found the guidelines for LinkedIn Image Dimensions had been updated. Follow our guidelines below for best practice in the foreseeable future. The dimensions of an image as part of a post on your company page now should be of a 1.91:1 aspect ratio, preferably 1200 pixels wide by 627 pixels tall. For a personal profile, 552 pixels wide by 368 pixels tall are recommended. If anything, this is a great reminder to keep informed and remain at the front of the pack. To stay in the know about social media and digital marketing happenings, why not sign up for Net Branding’s newsletter? ### Google Website Speed and Algorithm Update Google Website Speed and Algorithm Update Just recently, Google announced yet another major change to one of its search algorithms – this time to the algorithm that determines ranking results for the mobile search, with specific reference to website speed. While website speed and how quickly pages load has been a factor in determining desktop search rankings for a few years now, as of July this year website speed will also become a major ranking factor for mobile searches. Of course, this is not really a surprise. With more and more people on mobile, it was inevitable that user experience with mobile search and how quickly website pages load would get more and more attention. Mobile Search Will Continue to Increase the Demand for a Faster Website Speed Google is calling this recent change to its search algorithm the "Speed Update". In its announcement of the update, Google said that it would really only affect pages that "deliver the slowest experience to (mobile) users" – for now... Already back in 2016, mobile internet browsing exceeded desktop internet browsing in volume. In other words, if you haven’t yet optimised your website for mobile devices then you’re definitely missing out on a whole lot of possible leads and conversions. So, as mobile search grows in volume, users will continue to put pressure on Google to ensure mobile search is as fast as possible. That’s why, as a website development company, Net Branding’s team of website developers have been advising clients for quite some time to make sure their websites are optimised for mobile. And now that Google will soon be looking specifically at how fast website speed is for mobile search, and use that as a ranking factor in its results listing for mobile search, it’s more important than ever to pay close attention to making sure your website is optimised for mobile users. Website speed is not the only factor to keep in mind While website speed is going to be a significant factor in search ranking from July, speed is still just one of many signals that Google and other search engine use to rank pages. If a slow page has great, relevant content it may still rank higher than a much faster loading page with less than ideal content. The user experience is not just about speed – it’s about speed and relevance, and more. So, to recap, here are 3 ways to ensure a positive user search experience (which is what Google wants) with your website, no matter what device or browser they’re using. Make your website faster and drastically decrease page load time, so all your landing pages always load quickly. Ensure your navigation is simple so visitors can easily move around your website. Have compelling, fresh and relevant content, and make sure your product or service information is crystal clear, so people know exactly what you’re offering and what they need to do. How to prevent Google penalising your website for slow speed Remember, Google doesn’t mess around when it comes to ensuring that users are taken to websites that give them what they want. If your website doesn’t give Google’s users the experience they demand by loading quickly and providing useful information, then you’re going to see a drop off in traffic to your website – and less traffic translates into fewer leads and conversions, and declining sales. It’s as simple as that really. However, the good news about Google’s announcement of its Speed Update is that they’ve given everyone quite a few months’ notices before it’ll take effect. So you’ve got an opportunity to get the team at website development company Net Branding to take a look at your website – we can help you ensure your website isn’t penalised by Google’s Speed Update. We’ll do a thorough audit, including testing your website speed, making sure it’s optimised for both desktop and mobile, and check to ensure all your content is compelling and relevant for your target audience. Once we’ve identified all potential obstacles to the performance of your website, we’ll provide you with clear and actionable recommendations for improvement. We’re just a phone call away, so don’t wait until Google’s Speed Update stops ranking your website in search results before you take action. Call us today.

With the fast speed of evolving digital technologies, the impact on business presents both, challenges and opportunities. Company assets have grown to include digital assets. It would be difficult to ignore that we currently live in an era when technology’s impact on our businesses and societies is constant. Think back 20 years. Would you have predicted that a company website would have evolved into a key digital asset within an organisation? Looking forward, consider the evolution and opportunity presented by Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and even the valuable information that exists within free tools such as Google Analytics. In summary and by a Net Branding definition, digital transformation can be viewed as the transforming of current business actions, activities, process, and models to incorporate and leverage of current opportunities presented by digital technologies. Opportunities to provide value for both customers and employees and allow businesses to compete in this ever-changing world. Digital transformation, whilst spoken about, often is still a relatively young but rapidly evolving area. Digital Assets – Who’d have thought? How often do we review, assess and reflect on the information and statistics that our digital assets hold? This information is ripe collateral bursting with opportunities for process improvements, trends identification and relevant information that is important for business growth. These assets can provide so much insight into your business. Consider the New Zealand housing market? "Hot spots in Northland are Waipu, Whangarei Heads, Paihia and Tutukaka which all have a significant increase in users looking in those areas. Whangarei Heads is the suburb to watch, with online engagement up by 42 percent on the same time last year. In the Far North, Kerikeri surrounds, Paihia and the Karikari Peninsula were the most searched," Brendon Skipper, chief executive of realestate.co.nz said”. (herald.co.nz -12 July 2016). Post the Brexit vote, Immigration New Zealand confirmed that their New Zealand immigration website received more than 5500 UK visits per day in the 3-day period following the vote. If you are an immigration advisor, would this highlight a potential target market? If you are a rental property specialist, looking to help relocate families, is this not a ripe market for marketing consideration? In both these examples, critical and available information has been reviewed and assessed in order to identify a trend and uncover a business or commercial opportunity. Digital Transformation, the key to New Zealand Business Success. What are the 3 key areas to your digital transformation success? Speed: Technologies are evolving rapidly. A conscious management focuses on this evolution and the opportunities they present. This may start off informally as organisations aim to improve specific touch points and business processes. Eventually, organisations become bolder as they seek support to underpin new technology opportunities. Balance: The strategy is important for direction and focus but when opportunities arise that require an instant action, these should be exploited. Collaboration between teams shared insights to contribute to greater digital transformation ownership, efforts, and future investment. This is a mindset that can be slightly difficult to create within larger organisations. Data: This information is critical to identify external trends but more importantly opportunities for internal process and system improvement. A business and management process to identify and act upon technology and market trends in an expedient fashion. As has always been, business transformation is focused on process and business improvement but as digital marketing evolves, the information and cross-functional opportunities will certainly pave the way for a modern business, and customer focused offering.

Facebook’s significant change to how Facebook News Feed works will make marketing content, adverts and posts from businesses, brands and media less prominent, and make content that generates conversations among family and friends who use Facebook more prominent. Public content, including the live video that generates interaction among a user’s network, will also be promoted. What’s behind the latest Facebook News Feed Update? According to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, one of the main drivers for this change to the Facebook News Feed algorithm is to make sure that the time users spend on Facebook is meaningful and worthwhile. In making the announcement about the Facebook News Feed change, he went on to say that, “We built Facebook to help people stay connected and bring us closer together with the people that matter to us. Research shows that strengthening our relationships improves our well-being and happiness.” However, in recent years, Facebook has experienced an explosion in video and other public content that has ended up overwhelming content from family and friends. In fact, for many Facebook users, News Feed had become nothing more than mindless scrolling from one advert, article and auto-playing video to the next, in what had become a very passive experience – one which researchers had started to realise was even bad for users’ well-being and long-term health. So, according to Facebook, the latest change is aimed at correcting this imbalance by putting what friends and family have to say first, i.e. a renewed focus on all the ‘meaningful relationships’ that people have on Facebook. What does the change to Facebook News Feed mean for my business? In a nutshell, if you’ve been relying on ‘unpaid advertising’ on Facebook for growing the organic reach of your online content you are going to have to rethink your digital strategy. Unless you’re creating content that is tailored specifically to match the interests of your audience and in such a way that it sparks meaningful interaction from them, you are simply no longer going to see that organic growth. The latest move will, of course, not affect paid advertisements on Facebook, so the avenue of buying online ads on Facebook is still available. While this might mean an increase in your advertising costs, the decrease in the commercial clutter on Facebook Newsfeed could make paid advertising even more effective than it already is. What type of online content should I focus on to rank in Facebook News Feed? Any post that generates conversation and discussion among people on Facebook will make it into their News Feed. Live video (as opposed to regular, pre-recorded video) is particularly effective at sparking discussions on Facebook. Making sure you are connecting with your community, for example by creating events, posting updates that are relevant to your community or audience, creating a Facebook Group of like-minded individuals will stand a very good chance of achieving interaction and starting conversations. For more about the benefits of including Facebook Groups in your digital strategy, see our recent article on the topic -Facebook page vs Facebook group. 5 other things you can do to beat the latest Facebook News Feed Update 1. Create high-quality content. The recent change to the Facebook News Feed algorithm makes it even more important to create high-quality content that’s tailored specifically to match the interests of your audience. 2. Expand your social media strategy. This update could be an opportunity to expand your social media strategy. It’s also crucial for the continued success of your business’ online presence to ensure your digital marketing strategy does not put all your online marketing efforts into only one ‘social media’ basket – so expand your social media efforts with the aim of growing your audience on social media as quickly as possible. 3. Focus on SEO. You also need to focus on making sure that the SEO or search engine optimisation of your business website and other online efforts are top notch to ensure the search engines, particularly Google, will continue to highlight your digital content. Also, make sure your Google My Business listing is up to date and make an effort to ask your customers for Google Reviews too! 4. Grow your email marketing. Email marketing provides a very effective way to connect with your target audience, so expand your email marketing efforts to reach out to your current and potential customers. 5.

What are some of the things I can do using LinkedIn to build my brand? In this article, Cathy Mellett, Director of Auckland digital marketing company Net Branding, shares her tips for making the most of LinkedIn for marketing your business and building your brand online. With around 500 million LinkedIn users out there, including over 65 million business professionals, LinkedIn is much more than simply a resume-sharing social media platform. Instead, it is, as LinkedIn itself defines itself, “a community of professionals, in a business sense, that’s waiting to hear from you”. In fact, no other social media network comes close to LinkedIn for professional networking – and the potential for generating leads among its professional community – for businesses of any shape or size. What’s more, LinkedIn is growing at the rate of one new LinkedIn login created every second. So, the question is how can you make use of this powerful yet cost-effective digital marketing tool to grow your business? Why should I use LinkedIn to market my business? No matter in what niche market or industry you operate, LinkedIn offers you a great way for making connections with a community of professionals and get exposure for you brand, products or services. A properly optimised LinkedIn business page will also increase your chances of ranking in the search engine results, especially Google. Furthermore, LinkedIn's own search features enable LinkedIn users who are looking for what you offer to find you. Also, your LinkedIn connections can provide you with access to people and businesses that you perhaps might not otherwise be able to reach. Our 10 tips for LinkedIn for business To help you market and promote your business using the world’s largest business networking site, we’ve put together a series of 10 tips for LinkedIn for business. How do I optimise my LinkedIn business page for search and lead generation? As your LinkedIn business page will function as one of the public listings of your company in the search engine results, including Google, it’s important to get your page’s SEO or search engine optimisation right. Here are 5 tips to help you optimise your LinkedIn page for search as well as for lead generation. 1. Ensure your name and contact details are consistent with your details elsewhere online. 2. Use relevant keywords sensibly and appropriately throughout your page to optimise for search. 3. Use your banner image to differentiate your business and provide a headline that conveys a clear and specific value proposition to you audience, for example, “follow us for everything you need to know about vehicle cooling systems”. 4. Use consistent branding features across all your online profiles – same fonts, colour schemes, logo and so on, so your visitors get a consistent experience across all digital touch points. 5. Link to your website and blog. However, in the case of your website, don’t simply link to the home page. Instead, link to a dedicated landing page where you can provide a customised message for your visitors from LinkedIn and capture their details. What else can I do to build my brand using LinkedIn? Once you’ve created a LinkedIn login and set up a great LinkedIn business page that will establish your brand presence and build the credibility to get your business noticed, it’s time to start connecting with you audience. Growing the number of followers of your LinkedIn page basically comes down to promoting your page and providing engaging content for your audience. Here are 5 things you can do to make the most of LinkedIn's ability to promote your business: 1. Post regular updates that will interest your target audience. Tell them what you're working on and do it in such a way so as to enable them to see how what you're doing can help them achieve their goals. 2. Set up or join LinkedIn groups so you can make valuable connections and start building your reputation as an expert in your industry. Just remember that, like all social media, LinkedIn groups are not the place for hard-selling your products or services. Instead, it’s all about being part of a discussion that helps establish you and your business as expert on a specific topic. 3. Use LinkedIn recommendations. Recommendations are like marketing gold, because there is nothing quite as powerful as word-of-mouth marketing. LinkedIn allows you to get recommendations from your customers that will be visible to everyone in your network. Not only do recommendations from LinkedIn users give you more exposure, but they provide credibility that encourages other LinkedIn users to do business with you. 4. Make use of LinkedIn marketing apps. LinkedIn offers a number of advanced applications that you can take advantage of to help you expand your network, boost awareness of your brand and acquire more leads. Make use of them. 5. Try LinkedIn advertising. As in the case of other social media platforms, LinkedIn also offers paid advertising to help you get your business in front of your target market more quickly. It’s a cost-effective option that you would do well to consider. Could LinkedIn be the marketing game changer you’ve been looking for? Given the fact that LinkedIn is the world’s largest business networking site, using LinkedIn to make new connections, share your valuable content and attract more customers could make LinkedIn the game-changer that you’ve been looking for in your marketing strategy. If you would like to make LinkedIn an integral part of your digital marketing strategy, talk to the digital marketing team at Net Branding. We’ve helped many of our clients create professional LinkedIn profiles enabling them to effectively expand their networks, boost their brands, generate leads and secure more sales.

Are you wondering how digital marketing will change this year? Someone once famously said, “It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.” This is especially true in the fast-moving, ever-changing world of digital marketing. Fortunately, some digital marketing trends are still quite clear. We believe it’s important that every business that wants to reap the benefits of having an effective online presence in today’s digital world should take particular heed of these 5 digital marketing predictions for the year ahead. 1. Mobile will be more dominant than ever. There is absolutely no doubt that mobile has become core to the digital marketing environment. If your business website, and your overall digital marketing strategy, isn't yet optimized for mobile then 2018 is the year you simply have to ensure your online presence is optimised for mobile. It’s no secret that consumers everywhere are glued to their smartphones, so you need to make sure their experience of your online presence is compatible with their favourite device. Even the various search engines will penalize you if your website isn’t mobile-friendly. Talk to the team at Auckland digital marketing company Net Branding about ensuring your business website is a responsive website so it displays and responds well on whatever type of device customers use to access it. 2. Live video will continue to soar Live video will continue to soar especially the consumption of mobile video. People love watching live video – after all, the vast majority of people would much rather watch a live video than read a blog post, which is why, according to Facebook, live video gets three times more views. Live video is great for things like giving customers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into your business or introducing them to your employees – all great ways to build trust and make their interaction with your brand a more personal one. Live video is also great for showing off sales displays or doing product promotions, or for advertising an exclusive sale or promotion to anyone watching your live video. 3. Having a social presence will be a must. Having a social presence will become a must. In fact, it’s simply no longer possible to avoid having a social media presence. Digital marketing is all about establishing a rapport and building a relationship with customers and potential customers, and there’s really no better platform for doing so than social media. Social media enables you to quickly and regularly engage with customers and followers to show that all-important ‘human side’ of your business, which will increase sales and brand advocates. Check out one of our earlier articles on how to boost your brand using social media. 4. Local search will continue to rise in importance. There will be a rise in local search. Local is where it’s all at – and it will become more important for any business that relies on local customers to ensure they can be found by these customers in local search. By the way, the increasingly local focus in search results gives local (often smaller) businesses the chance to compete very effectively with much bigger brands. So why not take advantage of this ‘leveller of the digital marketing playing field’ by making sure you optimise your local SEO strategy with a Google My Business presence – in fact, read our recent article to find out why no business can afford to be without a Google My Business listing. 5. Content marketing will be crucial. In the digital world consumers are far more consumer savvy and less likely to be swayed by advertising tactics than was previously the case. In fact, most people want to learn about a business by researching it online or reading an article or peer review about it than by checking out one of its advertisements. By replacing the traditional (often no longer effective) sales pitch with helpful information, content marketing has become one of the most low-cost, effective ways for building awareness of your business, generating leads and driving traffic to your website. If you would like help to create a content marketing strategy that’s tailored specifically to the needs of your business, then talk to the team at Net Branding.

Need Google Reviews? Here’s why and how to ask your clients for Google Reviews. If you own a business, then you’ll know that customer reviews of your products and/or services in today’s digital environment play a big role in the success of your business. In fact, with so many people on Google these days, a Google Review of your business can have an even bigger impact on your success than a Google Ad might have, which is why getting positive Google Reviews for your business can be a real game changer. Google Reviews influence buying decisions We live in an era in which your business or brand is defined by those who experience it – and in our always-online world people are sharing their experiences about everything. What they say can have a significant impact on your brand. In fact, according to a survey conducted by global customer service software company Zendesk, as much as 90% of people are influenced in their buying decision by reading positive online reviews, such as a Google Review, while up to 86% of people decide not to proceed with a purchase as a result of reading a negative review online. Google Reviews and your digital marketing strategy Given that Google dominates the world of online search, it makes sense for you to make getting Google Reviews from your customers for your Google My Business page an important part of your digital marketing strategy. (Want to find out more about building your Google My Business profile? Then check out Net Branding’s recent article How to grow your small business with Google My Business services.) Not only is Google Review a very powerful way to promote trust and confidence in your business, thereby helping to influence purchasing decisions, but they’re also an important part of SEO or search engine optimisation. Having an effective Google My Business profile as part of your SEO strategy will not only make it easier for potential customers to see information about your business, such as your address and phone number, but they can also see reviews that people have written of your business. In addition to making your business website appear and stand out in local search, having positive Google Reviews will also help with that all-important click-through rate, encouraging people to visit your business website and begin the process of eventually becoming a customer. So, if you or your business is doing outstanding work and you have a great real-world reputation, then isn’t it time your digital marketing strategy included ensuring your online reputation is equally as prominent. And your happy customer is the perfect person to write a Google Review about your business. (However, just remember that in order for a customer to be able to post a Google Review, they will need a Google account, but this should not be too much of a problem because many people today have a personal Gmail account.) How to get Google Reviews – 3 things to keep in mind Of course, the best Google Reviews are those that customers leave without any prompting. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t prompt a customer to write a Google Review. Get your happy customers to become your online advocates by asking them directly what they thought of your business and whether they would mind posting a Google Review of your business, product or service. Here are three things to keep in mind when seeking Google Reviews. 1. Ask in person The best way to ask for and get Google Reviews is by doing so in person. The person-to-person request is very effective, especially if you’ve spent some time with your customer. After all, if you’ve completed a great sale or delivered a top-notch service, then who better to ask your happy customers for a Google Review than you? Tell them their view of your business is important to you and that you’d be proud to get a Google Review from them. Explain that Reviews also help other customers who are looking for similar products or services to make the right decision. These are all ways that help make the customer feel good about taking the time to post a Google Review. 2. Ask by email Asking for Google Reviews via email is a bit trickier. However, in cases where you don’t have much or any face-to-face time with a customer, then email may be your only option. When asking for a Google Review by email, it’s important to have the email come from you personally – or the member of your staff that dealt with the customer, so they recognize the name. If your digital marketing strategy includes email marketing then you have yet another huge opportunity to ask customers for Google Reviews. (If you’d like to find out more about the power of email marketing, simply talk to one of the digital marketing experts at Auckland digital marketing company Net Branding.) 3. Make it easy for your customer to post a Google Review Like you, your customers are also busy, so if you want them to take the time to post a Google Review for you, then you need to make it as easy as possible for them to do so. The best way to do this is to make sure your emails always include a very clear call-to-action link or button that takes them directly to your Google Review page. Your website and social media accounts should also clearly show customers how to post a Google Review by linking them directly to your Google Review page. Want more Google Reviews of your business?

And the best way to reach them online is via the place where the vast majority of people go to do their online searches, namely Google. So this is where Google My Business listing comes in. What is Google My Business? Google My Business listing is a free and easy-to-use tool that a business can use to manage their online presence on Google, including Google Search and Google Maps. So what’s the significance of that? Well, when someone searches for your business on Google, Google pulls information, such as your phone number and address, the link to your website, and customer reviews of your business, from your Google My Business profile page and features it in the Google search results. How will my business benefit from having a Google My Business listing? Think of Google My Business as the ‘Yellow Pages’ for the digital age. When Google features the information from your Google My Business page in search results, searchers can see your exact address and location in Google Maps. And even if you don’t have a website (although we believe every business should have one!), a customer who searches for your business category, for example, bakery, babysitter or electrician, will get a list of local business in their search results. Do Google My Business right and your business could be included in that list. In other words, Google My Business benefits your business in 2 very important ways, namely: Google My Business makes it easier for customers to find your business. Who doesn’t want that? Google My Business generates free advertising for your business, and it does so on the world’s biggest search engine! What could be better than free advertising, especially for a small business? Enough said. 4 tips for a successful Google My Business listing Once you’re signed up to Google My Business, here are 4 things you should do so you get the most out of your Google My Business listing. 1.Use keywords: When you fill out the keywords and category section of your Google My Business listing, make sure to include your main keywords when writing up an engaging description of your business and its products or services. 2. Use images and videos: You can include a number of images and videos for free in your Google My Business listing, so anything that will add value to a visitor’s understanding of your business, what it does and where it is located is valuable digital marketing collateral. So make the most of the opportunity. 3. Create a Google My Business listing for each site: If your business has a number of shops, branches or locations, make sure you create a Google My Business listing for each one, with its own specific address, phone number and other relevant details. This is a great way for enabling local customers to find your business wherever you’re located. 4. Encourage customers to write reviews: Ask as many of your satisfied customers to write a genuine review of your business on Google My Business. This is a great way to boost your Google rankings and help build further customer trust in your business. Make a Google My Business profile your priority If you don’t have a Google My Business profile for your business, then you really need to make doing so one of your priorities. Even more so if you are small businesses, because creating a Google My Business profile and integrating it with your business’s Google+ page will not only improve your Google rankings, but it will also make it easier for searchers to find you and build their trust in you. That’s like online gold! Getting your Google My Business profile sorted is one of the best things you could ever do for your business in today’s digital marketing world. Need help sorting your Google My Business profile? Of course, as is the case with any digital marketing tool, ongoing maintenance of your Google My Business page is essential. After all, Google itself is regularly applying updates and making changes to its search algorithm, so you will need to keep on top of all your Google profiles in order to keep pace with Google itself. Fortunately, the online marketing team at Net Branding, Auckland’s full-service digital marketing agency, is expert at navigating the ever-changing Google landscape, so we can take care of your Google My Business profile for you while you focus on running your business.

How can digital marketers and digital marketing help my business succeed in today’s digital world? In this article, Net Branding’s digital marketing consultant explains how marketing has changed in the online world and how digital marketers hold the key to online success for businesses. The Internet, and the forms of digital media it enables, has become so pervasive in today’s world that consumers now have access to all the information they need, any time and any place they need it. Marketing has always been about connecting businesses with their audiences in the right place and at the right time. To enable that in today’s online world requires digital marketing. Digital marketing is the umbrella term used to describe all the online marketing channels that digital marketers use, such as websites, email, social media and the various search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc), to enable businesses to connect with their existing and prospective customers. What’s the main benefit of digital marketing? In addition to using these channels to connect with their target audiences, digital marketers also monitor how those audiences respond. Unlike traditional or offline marketing efforts, digital marketing enables digital marketers to see accurate results in real time. For example, if you put an advert in a magazine or mail out a flyer it’s extremely difficult to determine how many people actually went to the page in the magazine and paid attention to your advert or read your flyer when it arrived in their mailbox (or simply biffed it in the bin). In other words, there’s really no accurate way to know if your advert or flyer was responsible for any sales at all. With digital marketing, however, the digital marketer can see things like the exact number of people who viewed your website, how many pages they visited, how often and how long they stayed, what device they were using at the time, where they came from, and so on. And they can see it all in real time. This information helps the digital marketer see what content and which channels are generating those all-important sales leads, enabling them to prioritise channels and tweak marketing efforts accordingly – and all in real time too. 5 ways digital marketers can drive marketing success The days are long gone when the messages that people get about your products or services are the ones that you want them to hear. In today’s digital world people are not just exposed to what you say about your brand, they are also exposed to what the other customers, friends and relatives say about you. What’s more, until they build their trust in you as a business, they are far more likely to believe those sources of information about you, than the information you put out about yourself. The key to building trust with today’s digital consumer lies in what you tell them and how you do it – and how you back up what you say by what you do. So, given that most of your communication with today’s customers will take place via some or other digital channel, we can say that the success of your business in the digital world will depend a lot on how your digital marketer conducts your digital marketing efforts. Here are 4 ways digital marketers can enable you to achieve success with your digital marketing efforts. Build Trust: As we’ve said, the key to the customer relationship in the digital age is trust. The way you communicate and what you communicate via the various digital channels you use will determine how successful you will be at building trust with your customers. Always ensure your messages about what you do, how you do it and what your customers can expect from you are consistent across all your digital channels. Listen to your customers: One way to build trust is to show that you care about your customer and their needs. Your relationship with your customers is no longer a one-way street with you calling the shots. In the digital age it’s all about developing a real or two-way conversation in which you listen to what your customers want from you and then respond to their specific requirements. For some great ideas on how to build two-way communication with your audience, see our previous article about Facebook pages and groups. Be easily reachable: The best way to be able to listen to customers and build their trust is to always be easily reachable. The harder customers find it to reach you, the less they will trust you. Of course, different customers have different preferences when it comes to the ways in which they want to be able to reach you. Some want to call or email while others (a growing number) want to use their preferred social media platform to talk to you. Fortunately, in the digital world enabling multiple channels for two-way communication with customers is relatively easy and very cost-effective. Provide high-quality content: Useful, informative, high-quality content that consumers want to consume is what will make them come back for more. In other words, we’re talking about content that is not necessary geared to selling but rather to adding value to solving a problem in the lives of your customers. Providing such content will move your target audience to see you as an authority in your field – and keep them coming back to you for more of the same. This is how to build a relationship and develop the trust that will eventually lead to consumers converting to your product or service. Need some digital marketing support? As you can imagine, there’s a huge spectrum of digital assets and tactics that fall under the digital marketing umbrella. Assets such as your website, email, online PR, your social media channels, blogs and more, and tactics such as SEO or search engine optimisation, content marketing, social media marketing, email marketing, pay-per-click advertising and much more. Fortunately, a digital marketer has the skills and know-how to use the full suite of digital channels to provide a holistic customer experience, from the time they first make contact with you online to developing a relationship of trust and, finally, the act of conversion. If you don’t have an in-house digital marketer in your business, it’s easy and very cost-effective to contract a digital marketing consultant at a digital marketing company to provide your business with the necessary expertise. The digital marketing consultants at Auckland digital marketing company Net Branding have been successfully providing businesses throughout New Zealand with end-to-end digital marketing support for a number of years. Our many satisfied clients can attest to how we’ve helped them achieve the success they desired from their digital marketing efforts.

In this article, Net Branding’s digital marketing expert shares 7 effective SEO writing tips for driving conversions. Right now, millions of people are searching the Internet for the things they want. In this digital search world, the copy (words, sentences and paragraphs) that you write about your products and services on your website is the most powerful digital marketing tool you have for increasing awareness of your brand. With so many people online looking for content just like yours it’s important that you do everything you can to help them find it. That’s why search engine optimization (SEO) is such a crucial aspect of your content marketing strategy for significantly increasing your traffic and brand awareness. Here are 7 effective SEO writing tips to help you optimise your copy for SEO to increase traffic to your website and drive conversions. 1 Use keywords naturally Include main and secondary keywords naturally (i.e. don’t stuff them in awkwardly) in your copy, but make sure you clearly optimise the content for the main keyword. Also make sure your main keyword appears in the first paragraph of your content. 2 Write meaningful SEO meta titles and descriptions Optimise your title tag with your main keyword, supported by additional relevant keywords. Of course, this requires that you know what people are searching for and what they want to find so you can craft copy accordingly. The more relevant the keyword, the more weight the search engines will give it and the higher it will appear in search results. But don’t simply stuff titles with keywords – make sure they’re meaningful and informative. Likewise, include your target keyword in your meta description and provide additional value-adding information to increase relevance, encouraging the searcher to want to click to land to your page. 3 Structure URLs so they’re optimised for search engines Keep your URLs simple, short and easy for a search engine (and anyone else looking at them) so they can immediately understand exactly what your page is about. 4 Format your pages properly Pages that are formatted properly for SEO are pages that are: Broken up with headings and subheadings. These are the so-called H1, H2, H3 tags. Make sure you use your keywords in these tags, especially your main keyword in your H1 tag and other keywords on the other tags. This helps the search engines see that your page is targeted to specific content and that you also cover off relevant related information as well. Feature short paragraphs of two to three short sentences. People read short paragraphs and shy away from long one. Keep sentences short (no more than 15 to 20 words) and get to the point quickly. This helps to keep readers engaged and focus their attention. Use bullet or numbered points. Bullets or numbers break up content and make it easier for readers to quickly get the important facts. Include links in the content. Adding links to your other pages where doing so is relevant provides more information for readers and adds value to their experience. 5 Ask questions, then answer them Anticipate the questions that your audience might have and answer them. This is a great way for drawing the reader into your content and explaining things clearly. If your ask the right questions and answer them well, then your audience will be even more ready to convert. 6 Ask the reader to do something In other words, have a call to action. You’re writing copy to sell or get people to ultimately do something, not just to state facts. So nudge them (you don’t have to be ‘salesy’ to do this) to make a decision by telling them what to do. Be sure to make it obvious and easy for them to do what you want them to do. 7 Optimise your images They say “a picture paints a thousand words” so definitely make good use of relevant, value-adding images on your pages. However, make sure you give each image a proper file name and include your target keyword in their alt text. Make sure you optimise image size so they load quickly and clearly. If you follow these basic SEO writing tips you’re sure to improve the conversion rates on your website. Would you like more help to improve your website content for SEO?

Do you feel your online marketing efforts all seem too expensive and inefficient? The problem could lie with your website. In this article, Net Branding’s digital marketing expert reveals some of the pitfalls lurking in website design and how to avoid them so you can create the best business website for your business. Is your business website doing the job it was built to do, namely converting visitors into customers? Your website is the most important online marketing tool you have, so you need to have the best business website possible. If your business website is faulty, then that’s very bad news for the future success of your business online. Given how crucial websites are for businesses in today’s online world, it’s still surprising how many business websites don’t actually do the job they were built to do. Even worse, by the time a business realises their website is a bit of a dud, it’s too late because it’s already been built and the funds earmarked to build it has been spent. If this describes your situation, what can you do about it? We’ll get to that shortly. But first, we need to find out why the problem occurred in the first place. So then, why are so many business websites not living up to their task? To answer that, let’s look at what a business website is supposed to do. What’s the main task of a business website? Your business website has two main tasks that it needs to perform, namely: Your website has to represent your brand in an appealing way Your website has to do the work of converting visitors into customers To achieve the first task, you contract a web designer to build a website that looks good and is a credit to your brand. Achieving the second task is the role of your marketing person. Getting your business website to work as far as marketing is concerned is all about driving traffic to the website and then ensuring the website is up to the task of converting visitors into paying customers. However, while the business website that the designer creates and hands over to the marketing person might have all the bells and whistles from a look and feel perspective, it might not be at all suitable for what the marketing person needs it to be able to do. Disaster! Getting the design for business websites right The process usually starts with a web designer coming up with a beautiful design that they and the respective business owner find pleasing on the eye. Once they agree on the look and feel, the web designer writes the necessary code or uses custom code in a website builder, to bring the design to life. And then they hand it over to the marketing person... Because web designers create websites and then marketers do their thing to drive traffic to it, a good web designer will think and act like a real team player – by creating a website in which various people can work successfully together over the life of the website. All too often, unfortunately, this doesn’t happen. Instead, the code the web designer uses to lock in the website’s beautiful appearance often means that the website is no longer flexible enough for the marketing person’s needs. Which means the marketer won’t be able to make the necessary and continuous tweaks that will enable the website to fulfil is marketing role. In order for your marketer and their digital marketing efforts to be successful, your business needs a flexible website that can be tweaked and updated on the go. We’ll say it again – the key to having a business website that works like it should lie in having a flexible website. What exactly is a flexible website? A flexible website is one that is built using flexible themes so you can move around elements, like the navigation, easily add or remove features, and tweak content. All so you can create the right digital marketing environment in order to easily and efficiently generate leads, conversions and sales. Choosing the right website builder is key In order for your business website to be the efficient and effective marketing tool that you need it to be, it needs to flexible enough to be able to adapt to the ever-changing needs of your digital marketing efforts. The most important decision you can make to enable this lies in selecting the right website builder. While there are many website builders available, for example, WordPress, Wix and Squarespace, it’s important to use the right one in order to achieve the best business website. Which website builder should I use? Simply go with the world’s most popular website builder – WordPress. The fact it has been used to create as much as 60% of all websites means it’s best for creating flexible business websites. That’s because it’s rich in features and tools that enable marketers to do what they need to do to get their websites ranking in search engines and converting traffic into leads and sales. And because so many use it, there are always plenty of people that can jump in and help, instead of being at the mercy of an individual web designer to tweak their bespoke creation. Just make sure you use a popular WordPress theme that has been used a lot or that has released a number of versions. While that might mean you lose a little uniqueness in the look and style of your website, it also means that most of the bugs will have been sorted already. What about the other website builders? The simple answer is that the others are not online marketing-friendly. For example, while web designers do like to build websites using Squarespace because it enables them to get good-looking websites up quickly, Squarespace doesn’t enable marketers to do the required search engine optimisation (SEO) work to achieve the necessary search rankings for generating organic traffic. So, if Squarespace doesn’t provide what you need to ensure your business website works like it should, why would you go with it? Another popular example of a website builder is Wix, but again it’s not friendly towards digital marketing efforts. And while it has similar SEO issues as Squarespace has, it also doesn’t allow the various third-party tools that digital marketers use to generate the data that helps them understand what’s working and not working on the website from an online marketing point of view. How do I get my business website working like it should? Once your flexible website is up and running it’s time for your marketer to start driving some traffic to it so they can gather the necessary data to see what on the website is working and what’s not. And then they’ll have to make all sorts of tweaks. So there’s no such thing as creating a perfect website first off. To get your website working, you’ll need to go through it page by page, tweaking features, content, images, layout (just about everything) as you go. Remember, the ultimate aim of the process is to make the whole experience of your website simpler, easier and more responsive for your visitor, no matter what device they use to access it. After all, if it isn’t, you can kiss the whole conversion objective goodbye. Every website will have trouble spots that need to be sorted. Most times you’ll only realise where the trouble spots are when you have the real-time data to show you where visitors are experiencing problems. For example, which pages are taking too long to load, which fields on forms cause people to give up and abandon the form, where content or headings are causing confusion. The list can be long. Then, only once you’ve tweaked your business website enough to sort the problems, should you ramp up your digital marketing activities with the aim of driving lots more traffic to your website.

Why do I need to invest in search engine optimization? In this article, Net Branding’s SEO expert answers these questions by explaining how investing in SEO will guarantee the success of your online brand. These days, virtually everyone is jumping online to look for information, products and services, or to check reviews before they buy something. So, if you want them to find your products or services then you have to ensure they can easily find your website online. The only way to do so is to optimise your website for digital search. No matter what your business does, and irrespective of whether it’s new or old, small or large, if you have a website, then SEO or search engine optimisation has the potential to make or break the success of your brand online. How does SEO work? SEO or search engine optimisation refers to the various methods for increasing a website’s position on the results pages of search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. Get your website SEO right and you’ll draw traffic to your website and grow sales and revenue. 7 reasons why SEO is important for business 1. SEO makes you visible If you really want to be found online then SEO is a no-brainer. The easier you are to find online, the greater the likelihood you will sell your products and services. So it’s worth putting time and effort into getting your SEO right. 2. SEO builds trust Users tend to trust the search engines. The higher a website ranks in a search engine’s results, the more credible searchers will perceive it to be and the more traffic it will get. 3. SEO improves user experience The sole reason for the existence of the search engines is to provide their users with a quality experience. If search engines determine that your website will give visitors a good experience then they will rank it high in search results. And if users enjoy their visit to your website, they will tend to come back again and again – and share the link with other users. 4. SEO is cost-effective and measurable In fact, by getting your SEO right, you can drive qualified traffic to your website without ever having to spend a cent on online advertising. Another really great thing about SEO is that you can measure its performance. For example, you can test different keywords, content and social networks and you can do it in real time, and tweak what you do as you go to get the best possible results from your digital marketing efforts. 5. You can control SEO In the world of business there are many things outside your control. But with SEO, you have the ability to exercise control over your website’s ranking. In other words, SEO gives you the ability to influence the volume of traffic to your website, which has a direct impact on leads, conversions, sales and, ultimately, the profitability of your business. 6. SEO builds your brand One of the main focus areas of SEO for driving success in search is quality content and content marketing. Having fresh, quality content that provides value to your audience will quickly separate your brand from that of your competitors. This will not only influence your website’s ranking but will also build trust with your audience, who will see your website as a hub for quality information. 7. You can use SEO to beat the competition The better your SEO, the greater the chances are that you will outshine your competition online. Of course, your competition knows this and they will be trying to do the same to you. So, don’t give your competitors any opportunity to out manoeuvre you by ignoring this valuable tool for your business. Do you want to optimise your website?

Firstly, the days of prospective customers heading in-store to find out about products and services from a sales rep are well and truly over. Nowadays, people do their own research. For example, research done by HubSpot, a developer of inbound marketing and sales software, found people do around 12 online searches before even visiting a brand’s website. Secondly, there’s more noise out there than ever before, constantly clamoring for customers’ attention. However, in response to this noise, consumers are fast-forwarding television shows, installing ad-blockers so they can browse the web without adverts and customizing what they get to see in their social media feeds. All this makes it imperative that you find a way to make sure your brand can still stand out – and one of the best ways for doing this is by means of content marketing. Content marketing isn’t just for the big brands. Small businesses use it successfully every day to grow their sales. The question is, are you? Content marketing that makes consumers sit up and take note Here’s a little success story of how one very small business used content marketing to achieve a whole new outcome. In 2007, English taxi dispatcher Lauren Luke began to subsidise her day job by selling make-up on eBay. In an attempt to increase sales, Lauren created ‘how to’ videos and posted them on YouTube. Very soon, Lauren was bigger than mega cosmetics brand Estee Lauder on YouTube, and she was able to launch of her own make-up company, By Lauren Luke, stop dispatching taxis and become a successful business owner. Lauren had never spent a cent on traditional marketing. By replacing the traditional sales pitch with helpful information, Lauren made consumers sit up and take notice. Why did it work? By making prospective customers see her brand as a valued provider of useful and relevant information, instead of merely being self-promoting, she ultimately enticed them to do business with her – and the return on her investment in content marketing was huge. Low cost and effective In any business, relevant content is one of its most valuable assets. However, the fact that small businesses have much less capital and fewer resources than bigger brands makes content marketing one of the best marketing strategies for any small business. In fact, content marketing is one of the most low-cost and effective ways you can build awareness of your business, generate leads and drive traffic to your website. Content marketing includes all forms of digital marketing, from emails and social media to webinars, eBooks and video – in other words, anything used to create and share content that will attract, engage and, ultimately, drive a profitable customer action. 7 tips for creating a successful content marketing strategy No matter what industry you’re in – from fixing cars to building homes or selling widgets – you can attract and retain customers through content marketing. Here are 7 tips for creating a successful content marketing strategy that will drive results and increase your bottom line. Set specific goals – ones that you can measure First of all, you need to establish what you want to achieve with your content marketing – so you can measure whether it’s working or not. Is your intention to boost your SEO, or do you want to generate more leads or are you trying to secure more conversions? Know what content people want Remember, it’s not about what you want – it’s about what ‘they’ want. While you might know exactly what you want to tell them, if that’s not something prospective customers want to hear about, you’ll be wasting your time and effort.So make sure you understand what it is that people want to find out about your niche market. What are their pain points? What are their needs? What are the things they want to know before they commit to buying the sort of products or services that you’re selling? This will help you in your choice of topics and mediums for creating content that answers their questions, as the first step in guiding them towards your solution. Give them fresh, quality content – and do so regularly As we mentioned before, it’s ‘loud’ out there. To get noticed among all the noise, you have to provide a steady flow of new information on various topics to grab the attention of your target audience and drive traffic to your website.Only quality content (informative, useful, entertaining material) is going to get their attention, get shared on social media, and get them to engage with your business. Remember too that other marketing tactics, such as pay-per-click advertising and banner ads, don’t really work if there is little or no fresh content to discuss or link to. Make sure you give people a reason to click and to keep coming back for more.Fresh, quality content also boosts SEO and search engine ranking, which increases the likelihood of your target audience coming across your material, but it’s also a great way to make yourself stand out from your competition, and make your brand more familiar in your target market – that way, there’s a much greater chance they will think of your business first-up when they need your type of product or service. Build a reputation as a thought leader If there are seven plumbers in town but only one provides useful information, then that will be the business that will start to stand out as the trusted expert in that community. Any small business that helps consumers, especially when they aren’t getting paid, will quickly build a reputation for trustworthiness. Create content in various formats and repurpose for different platforms People have preferences when it comes to the format in which they like to research their intended purchases. Some like to read an in-depth report, while others would rather just watch a video or look at a product comparison table. To reach the widest possible range of potential customers think about preparing your information in various formats. However, you can easily turn an eBook into a series of blog posts, or grab some statistics from the eBook to create an infographic, or create a quick video interview to share the information from the eBook.People also have their preferences when it comes to the platform via which they like to receive their information – so, think also in terms of blogs, website pages and the various social media networks. Keep your website fresh, up to date and mobile-friendly We all know the expression “first impressions count” – when it comes to your website they count even more, because it is often the first impression a potential customer will get of your business. So, do everything you can to make sure it’s a good one.A dated website will neither impress a viewer nor will it give them confidence in your business, and they will quickly lose interest and possibly never come back!Having a website that looks fresh and inviting, where information is not only up to date but is constantly featuring new material will make for a far better visitor experience, and will build their confidence that your business will be able to deliver for them. Make sure to optimise your website for mobile to ensure your content renders properly on mobile devices. Include a call to action It’s natural for people to take some time to decide whether to spend money on a product or make time for a service. However, once a prospective customer gets a clear answer to their question(s) or hears something they can relate to or engage with, then they will be motivated to make a purchase or schedule an appointment.When your content clearly answers the question “What’s in it for me?”, explains why what you offer is the best solution for your customer and gives them a clear call to action, then your content will be achieving what you intended it to accomplish. Want help to create a content marketing strategy that delivers? We hope these tips have given you the encouragement you need to create a content marketing strategy that will ultimately attract and engage your target audience. While it may take some time to see the results, if you stick with it, and continue to re-evaluate and refine your strategy, you are sure to reap great results.

How do I protect my online brand identity from theft? In this article, Net Branding’s digital marketing specialist answers these questions and provides 5 tips to help you protect your online brand identity against theft. Most businesses work hard to build a unique identity for their brand – one that adds value to their portfolio of goods and services, resonates with their customers and builds a relationship of trust with them. Are these the sort of characteristics that are reflected in your brand identity? If so, then it’s a brand identity that’s worth its weight in gold and something that any business, including yours, should fight tooth and nail to protect and enhance. Unfortunately, some businesses follow a more duplicitous path when building their brand ‘identity’ – they simply steal someone else’s. Rather than working hard to create something of their own, they choose a parasitic course instead, by seeking to catch a free ride on the back of another company’s brand, with potentially catastrophic consequences for the genuine brand. We’re all familiar with the knock-off high-end watches, handbags, sneakers and more that have plagued the world for years, doing serious damage to the real brands they represent. In the digital age, however, it’s not merely individual products that are being ‘stolen’ by counterfeiters – with businesses now online entire brands are susceptible to identity theft. We’ve no doubt all heard the stories about entire websites being created that look just like that of the original business, but aren’t. Even worse, as the fraudsters get better at their dark deeds, customers – your customers – are finding it more and more difficult to tell the difference between your genuine website and the fake one. Fraudsters are even adding injury to insult by creating supporting channels for their fake websites, with social media pages also claiming to represent your brand. This is all serious stuff – and if you’re an online business then it’s doubly serious. That’s because these days most customers use online search and social media to help them make buying decisions. If they are being duped by these fake representations of your brand online, believing that they are interacting with you, and maybe even buying something from a website that they believe represents you, then you’ve got a very serious problem. But what to do? How do I protect my brand identity from theft online? As we said earlier, your brand identity is something you should defend at all costs. The good news is that with a bit of careful planning and some diligent monitoring, you can protect your brand identity from theft online. Here are 5 tips for protecting your online brand identity from theft. 1 Build a strong brand presence The more you invest in creating a top-notch consumer experience across all of your brand's touchpoints, especially online, the harder it will be for an imposter to imitate. When people get to know the sort of responses they can expect from you online, especially the way in which you conduct yourself on social media, the easier it will be for them to spot something that doesn’t quite add up, and raise the alarm. 2 Develop a set of brand guidelines Consistency in communication with your customers is important for protecting your brand against identity theft. Ensure your digital strategy includes the development of a set of guidelines aimed at keeping all of your brand’s communications consistent across your online platforms. Fraudsters seldom have the same level of commitment to their crime that you will have in building your brand – so they will make mistakes. Having a set of brand guidelines that enable you to represent your brand consistently to customers will help both you and your customers spot something online that isn’t what it claims to be. 3 Use your brand’s visual elements consistently Closely related to having a set of brand guidelines is how you use your logo and the other visual design elements of your brand. Think of these visual elements as very important identifying marks of your business and the message(s) you convey to your customers about your brand. Use these visual characteristics consistently and stamp them on everything you can, from your physical products to your online collateral and social media pages. 4 Stay in touch with your customers Having an active and verifiable presence on social media as your business grows can do wonders for building and maintain your customers’ trust in your brand – and keep fraudsters at bay. Make keeping in touch with your customers via social media a key component of your digital marketing strategy, always doing your utmost to respond to their queries or complaints promptly and professionally. Having a public Facebook page for your brand and frequently posting content is a great way to earn a checkmark that certifies these pages have been verified as belonging to you, the original owner of your brand. A similar level of certification is also possible for other social media accounts. Want to know more? Talk to your Net Branding social media specialist about including similar identity-enhancing social media tactics in your digital marketing strategy. 5 Keep an eye on the market and your competitors Every now and then it pays to hop onto the main search engines and do a search of your business taglines and other key words for any signs of others using these to infringe on your brand. Visit the websites of your competitors to see if they are copying any of your brand’s visual design elements. If you find someone is copying your brand identity, find out where they are located and get your legal advisor onto it as quickly as possible. Not all countries take intellectual property seriously, so you could face a bit of a slog to get the matter sorted. Fortunately, countries like New Zealand and a number of others are very strict about intellectual property rights. Why is my brand identity one of my most valuable business assets? Never underestimate the significance of a well-recognized and respected brand – it’s probably one of your business’ most valuable assets. So you should take every step possible to ensure you defend your brand identity from being stolen online by unscrupulous operators. If you would like help with creating a digital marketing strategy that builds trust and loyalty among your customers and defends the identity of your brand from theft online, then talk to the online brand specialists at Net Branding - Auckland digital marketing agency .

The finalists for this year’s awards will be announced tonight at an event held at Auckland’s Villa Maria Estate. Winners will be celebrated at a gala dinner on 14 November. The Westpac Auckland Business Awards are delivered annually by the Auckland Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (ATEED). The awards celebrate innovation and creativity in business and have been a highlight of Auckland’s business calendar for over 10 years. “Net Branding is honoured to have been able to secure a nomination for this year’s awards,” says Net Branding Director Cathy Mellett. “Actually, the entry process has been quite humbling because it made us stop, step back and take stock of how Net Branding is performing. Being forced to take a hard look at our strengths and weaknesses is an extremely valuable process because it’s something most businesses seldom get the opportunity to do in the midst of their busy day-to-day operations.” The awards application process also enabled Cathy to reflect on Net Branding’s journey to become a leading New Zealand owned and operate digital marketing agency that’s known for the way in which embraces innovation and creativity in the digital industry. Net Branding was officially founded in 2010. However, its roots go back a bit earlier to 2008 when Cathy started sharing her information technology and digital marketing expertise to help friends and family in their respective businesses. One thing led to another and soon Cathy found herself building a team of talented digital specialists to provide a growing range of services across the digital disciplines of Website Development, SEO, Social Media Marketing and Online Advertising. “Naturally, the path to where we are today has not been without its challenges and learnings,” says Cathy. “However, the team’s ‘can do’ approach to everything we do and our dedication to our various client’s business objectives have enabled us to generate stellar results for our clients businesses.” “None of what Net Branding has achieved to date would have been possible without the team, and being nominated for the Westpac Auckland Business Awards is great recognition for all their hard work. So, as we look forward to tonight’s announcement of the finalists, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their dedication and support over the years.” ### A Facebook page vs Facebook group for your business – what’s the answer? Should your business have a Facebook page or a Facebook group? We discuss the pros and cons of each for your digital marketing efforts on Facebook. A Facebook page vs Facebook group is a repeat question that our digital marketing consultants get asked. Making connections on Facebook is not merely limited to friends – it’s great for businesses of all shapes and sizes too. In fact, I have always emphasized the importance to every business of having a presence on Facebook. As pretty much the world’s largest social networking community, if you use Facebook properly for your digital marketing efforts you really can’t go wrong. However, when it comes to Facebook marketing, I often get asked the question, “Should I have a Facebook page or a Facebook group for my business?” While Facebook offers many ways to promote your brand, two of the most important ones are Facebook pages and Facebook groups. Pages and groups are completely different things – and they each have distinct advantages. For the purposes of your brand’s Facebook marketing efforts, it’s important to understand the pros and cons of each. But first, let’s get a handle on the difference between a Facebook page and group. Facebook page vs Facebook group – what’s the difference In essence, a Facebook page functions like a personal profile for a business, brand or organisation, whereas a Facebook group functions more like a forum where people with similar interests can gather online to talk about what’s dear to their heart. For example, say you run a business that specializes in the repair of car radiators. In addition to your business website you may also have a Facebook page for your business – it’s a great way for posting news and tips about radiator care and directing viewers back to your website. However, if you’re in the business of car radiator repairs it’s very likely you’re also into all things to do with cars. So you might start a Facebook group for motor enthusiasts that others with similar interests can join. They’ll post pictures and share experiences, and you’ll be at the center of it all – and if you grow a thriving community, people will look to you for your (and your business’) expertise. Facebook pages are great for two-way communication, between you and your followers, which makes a page perfect for businesses who want to make announcements to large groups of people. By connecting with a page, people to closely follow a specific business or brand. Pages are also verified for authenticity, which can help to cultivate greater trust in your brand among users. Facebook groups, on the other hand, allow equal communication between all members of the group, which makes them great for enthusiasts who want to talk among themselves like an online community. And if you create a group, you can decide whether to make it publicly available for anyone to join, require administrator approval for members to join, or keep it private and by invitation only. You can always create a Facebook page for your business as well as create and/or belong to a Facebook group. In other words, you’re not limited to one or the other – it’s just that they’re different, with different pros and cons. So let’s outline some of the main pros and cons of each for your business. Pros and cons of Facebook pages for businesses Page pros Facebook pages have built-in analytics, which are great for providing you with very valuable insights into what aspect of your Facebook marketing are working. SEO – Facebook pages will show up in Google searches (whereas Facebook groups won’t) – in other words, it’s much easier for people to find you in search. Facebook pages offer advertising tools, like Facebook Ads, and the ability to build an email list, which is great for direct marketing options. Facebook pages can be branded more closely to your business profile, enabling you to customize the page more for your purposes and to make your content stand out from that of others. As we said earlier, pages are also verified for authenticity, which helps to build credibility for your business when customers find your page through an online search. Page cons It’s harder to increase the reach of your page organically – you have to invest in Facebook Ads to provide a boost. Pages are mostly a ‘broadcast’ tool so conversations are more difficult to accomplish, especially between fans. The constantly changing Facebook Algorithm has put a damper on the visibility of posts by Facebook pages in people’s newsfeeds (this is not the case with posts to Facebook groups). Pros and cons of Facebook groups for businesses Group pros: The best Facebook groups are discussion-rich and, since participation is optional, only the people who want to be there show up – so you already have an ‘on-side audience’ so to speak. Groups can have a much higher organic growth rate (than pages) and are much more visible in people’s newsfeeds (thanks to the Facebook Algorithm). You can easily communicate with all members of a group via chat, email or wall posts – a great way for a business to promote an event, for example. If you’re the group leader, then you’ve already established yourself as an expert, with all the benefits that that entails for your business situation too, like finding it far easier to direct your audience to your blog or website. Group cons: Facebook groups offer no analytics or insights – so it’s harder to keep track of how you’re doing. Facebook groups don’t show up in searches, which makes them very difficult for other people to find unless they’re already part of a group or have a friend who joins. Facebook groups require a lot of time if you want to manage them properly – you need to be there throughout the day to monitor (and contribute) to the conversations. Unlike pages, groups don’t allow you to add on any additional applications for promotions or brand look-and-feel. These are some of the main differences between Facebook pages and groups. Both have advantages and disadvantages for business use. Deciding on whether to include a Facebook page or a Facebook group in your business’ digital marketing strategy is probably going to boil down to what you’re trying to achieve. Just remember, it’s not an either/or situation – you can have both a page and a group. Want to find out more? If you’d like to have an informed discussion about whether to include a Facebook page or a Facebook group, or both, in your digital strategy, simply get in touch with the team at Net Branding. Our team of digital marketing specialists will be able to talk you though the options and what’s best for the specific needs of your business.

Social media marketing is the use of social media networks, like Facebook (the world’s largest social network), YouTube, Snapchat, Twitter and others, by businesses to connect with current and potential customers, and the general public, with the aim of promoting their products or services. However, like everything in our modern digital world, things are changing fast, and no more so than on the social media networks and, by extension, also in the world of social media marketing. Facebook hits 2 billion regular users Just recently it was announced that Facebook has reached two billion active monthly users. It took Facebook four years to reach 100 million users in 2008 and another two years to hit the 500 million user mark. But then in only another two years, in 2012, it hit the one billion mark and now, just five years later, it’s at two billion. So how exactly did Facebook and other social media networks become such powerful brands? The answer lies in the fact that these networks offered the world something that filled a very basic human need – the need for humans to connect with one another. Clearly then, owing to the sheer number of potential customers it is possible to reach via the social networks, social media marketing has to be a crucial component in any brand’s digital marketing strategy. For example, according to Hubspot, a developer and marketer of software products for inbound marketing and sales, social media already produces almost double the marketing leads of traditional outbound methods. But with the western world fast approaching the point of social media saturation – even in New Zealand, 2.3 million Kiwis access Facebook every day! – and with so many people on the planet connected via one or other social network, what are the implications of this massive take-up for social media marketing? Creating better connections through conversation Achieving success in social media marketing does not simply mean you create a social media page and merely post updates. Remember, social media is all about creating human ‘connections’ – and human connections are always about two-way conversations. So, for any business to succeed with its social media marketing as we head closer to the point of global social media saturation, it will need to focus increasingly on improving the quality of its connections with its audience. In other words, the days of simply engaging with your audience as faceless buyers are fast running out. Now already, you need to connect, interact and engage with them as real people by educating and personalizing their online experience. After all, isn’t that what real two-way conversation is all about? So, the secret to future success will lie in making your brand even more personable to your online audience. Social media marketing and the benefits of a two-way conversation A two-way conversation is by definition a conversation that involves both sides – in social media marketing that would be a conversation between a business and its customers. So, instead of focusing your social media marketing tactics on simply talking at your customers, to really engage in a two-way conversation, you will also need to listen to them, by responding directly to their needs and desires. For example, when posting on your social media page, you’ll focus most of your posts (80%) on adding value for your audience (by educating, helping, informing and entertaining them) and focusing far fewer of your posts (20%) on promoting your actual product, service or other business-specific matters. This way your social media marketing will help you connect on a far more human level with your customers, and doing so will pay dividends for you in the long run. 3 ways to make your brand more personable on social media Expanding your two-way conversation on social media to include information about your business culture and share your expertise will, in turn, also give your brand a personality that your audience will want to connect with. Here are 3 easy ways to make your brand more personal through two-way conversation on social media. 1 Join the conversation Don't miss opportunities to join the conversations that are going on – such as people liking your posts, asking questions and leaving comments – make sure you respond quickly to comments and answer questions. This is how you build a two-way conversation and develop a relationship with your customers or prospects that will have legs for the long term. 2 Set up a Facebook group If you’ve got the time to commit to it, set up a Facebook group to which you invite the more engaged members of your social media audience with the aim of building a community of like-minded individuals. Such a group will not be about posting business-promotional material – instead, it’s more about opening that two-way conversation in a meaningful and a value-adding way. Members of the group will talk wider and more and more people will want to join and share – if you’re providing value-adding content. 3 Show your face Remember, social media is all about connecting as real people, and real people have a personality – and a face! So share your personality and your face with your audience. One of the best ways to do so on social media is through video, especially doing so in real-time by, for example, using Facebook Live. There’s really nothing more personable than being able to interact in real-time with your audience, respond to their comments and answer their questions – and when people see the face and hear the voice behind your brand, their level of trust in you as a business automatically increases. How are you doing at building meaningful two-way conversations on social media? As we’ve seen, simply having a social media profile for your business is no longer going to cut the mustard – in fact, letting your social media profile start to lag is almost like sending a ‘going out of business’ message to your audience. Social media has drastically changed the marketing game for businesses. And now with the race in social media for audience size reaching its climax, all social media marketing efforts will have to focus increasingly on ensuring high-quality two-way conversations in order to achieve success. Ensuring that your customers feel valued will help your business stay two steps ahead of your competitors in our fast-changing social media world.

I'm a lawyer, accountant, architect - Should I use social media? Social media is here to stay and savvy professionals (architects, accountants, lawyers to name a few) are smart to use the internet, blogs, and social media to market their brand and services. As Director of online marketing agency Net Branding I’m constantly talking to professionals about using social media to grow their firm’s reputation as an approachable brand. However, it’s common knowledge that legal professionals tend to be perfectionists – and that’s completely as it should be as it’s part and parcel of their job to be 100% accurate. Because they’re so used to spending heaps of time crafting a message, the problem when it comes to social media is that they shy away from being, well, ‘social’! And they hold back on publishing something online until they know it’s perfect. With the result that in the end little or nothing gets published, and their social media site becomes dated and boring and people stop following. Just remember, not everything has to be 100% perfect; as long as the facts are correct, you can still create value-adding content online. In traditional professions such as the law or accountancy, service providers often state that they don’t have time for this “social media nonsense”; they’re busy and have heaps of work to do. That’s true of course – and I should know, because I’m married to a lawyer. However, what’s even truer is that if you ignore social media, social media will ignore you.

Do you want to reach more people online? We explain how optimising your local SEO strategy with a Google My Business presence will help you reach the customers closest to you. Does your business have an engaging and responsive website, but people still cannot find you online? Do you want to reach more people online without spending $$$ on advertising? The secret to success actually lies right on your doorstep. In fact, to get the highest ROI from your digital marketing efforts, you need to pay most attention to those customers, and potential customers, nearest to you. In other words, you need to think local – and use the right online platforms that will enable you to reach them. This is where having a local SEO strategy for your business will make all the difference. However, with so many websites, directories and social media platforms available on the Internet, it can be a daunting task for a small business with limited resources to pick the right platform for their specific needs. That’s why one of the most important parts of my local SEO strategy is to create a Google My Business profile for my clients. Grab attention with a Google My Business listing It’s pretty much common knowledge that Google is the world’s biggest digital search engine. For example, did you know that over 92% of mobile searches are conducted on Google and over 66% of desktop searches occur on Google? So, it stands to reason that if someone is going to find you online, chances are they’re going to do so via Google. This is just one of the reasons why building a search engine optimised website is so important if you want your website to climb higher in Google’s rankings – and why having a Google My business profile is crucial for local SEO. Why is having a Google My Business listing so important? Having a Google My Business listing is more important than ever before if any business, but especially a small business, wants to be found by their target market in a local search – and here’s why: A Google My Business listing is designed to grab a viewer’s attention when it appears in the search results. You can’t beat that! Google My Business connects you directly with customers, irrespective of whether they’re looking for you on Google+, Search or Maps – and because it’s designed to help people find businesses that are near to them, it provides them with directions on how to get to you. There are a range of tools available to help you optimise your Google My Business listing. For example, you can add menus, opening hours, your website address, product lists – you can even add promotional coupons and special offers to your listing. Can you really afford to ignore your local customers? Even in our digital age, no business can afford to ignore its local market. Therefore, no business can afford to ignore including a listing on Google My Business as part of their SEO strategy. The team at digital marketing agency Net Branding are experts in optimizing Google My Business listing. Talk to us today about how we can help you be found online by your local customers. Get In Touch! ### Google's crawl budget and the business website – your questions answered Google's crawl budget and your business website: Recently, we talked about Google’s crawl budget and asked whether your website’s SEO (search engine optimisation) was optimised for this crawl budget, to ensure the best outcomes for your digital marketing efforts. In this article, we focus on some specific questions about the Google crawl budget and their implications for your website’s development. Remember, to get your website to show up or be indexed in Google's search results in the first place (or the search results of any search engine for that matter), the Google crawl bot or Google bot (or whichever crawl bot a search engine is using) has to actually crawl your website, to begin with. So, crawling is the ‘entry point’, so to speak, for the indexing process and eventual Google ranking. The more efficiently your website can be crawled the better your website will be indexed by the search engine, thereby influencing how your website and its pages show up in search results. But first, let’s quickly recap on what the Google crawl budget is all about. What is a Google’s crawl budget? The Google crawl budget is defined by Google itself as “the number of URLs Google bot can and wants to crawl.” In other words, the number of pages the Google bot wants to crawl (that’s the ‘crawl demand’) and the number of pages the Google bot can crawl (that’s the ‘crawl rate’). The Google bot is designed to be a good Internet citizen because, while crawling is its priority, it also makes sure that its actions don't degrade a human user’s experience of a website. So the crawl rate aspect of the crawl budget helps the bot to not crawl your pages too much or too fast so that it hurts your human users’ experience of your website. The crawl demand is an indication of how much Google wants to crawl your pages – and this desire is based on how popular your pages are and how fresh or stale the content is in Google’s index. Do Crawl bots have finite resources? Google, or any other search engine, doesn’t have infinite resources to go crawling every page or URL of every website out there. They have to budget their crawling to enable their crawl bots to get to as many website pages as possible. So, every website, including yours, has a crawl budget (from Google’s point of view). Once the Google bot has spent its crawl budget for your website, it stops crawling your website, even if it hasn’t reached all the pages that you wanted it to index. While that’s a problem, the fact there’s a crawl budget for every website also means there are ways to optimise your website’s SEO for it. An efficient use of Google’s crawl budget for your website will help enable you to achieve the level of indexing you need for your website in order to be able to drive more traffic to it. 4 key questions and answers about Google’s crawl budget So, if Google doesn’t actually crawl your entire website, then it would be good to consider how much of your website it is crawling, what specifically in your website it is crawling and how quickly it is able to do so. Here are some questions and answers to get to the bottom of these considerations. 1. Is there anything specific that will influence my crawl budget? Never forget that Google is all about serving the best interests of its users, which is why popularity and fresh content are two factors that are particularly important for the Google crawl budget. These two factors also work hand-in-hand, because the fresher and up to date your content is, the more popular it will be. Having fresh, popular URLs in your website will go a long way to ensuring the crawl bots crawl it as much as possible. 2. Does the speed of my website influence my crawl budget? The simple answer is yes! If your website responds really quickly, the crawl limit goes up and more connections can be used to crawl your website. If your website slows down, the crawl limit goes down and the Google bot crawls less. So, ensuring your website is fast and responsive improves not only your human users' experience but also increases the Google bot’s crawl rate. 3. Do server errors and connection timeouts influence my crawl budget? Again, the answer is yes. The Google bot interprets server errors and connection timeouts as signs that your website’s server is not in good enough shape, and so, to prevent causing a problem to human users, it crawls less. 4. Will my crawl budget result in a better Google ranking for my website? The answer here is less clear-cut. Google uses hundreds of aspects in addition to the outcomes of the crawl budget in order to rank search results. Of course, while crawling is necessary for your website to be able to appear in the search results, it will not necessarily lead to a better Google ranking per se, unless it’s also complemented by the other aspects that Google rates for ranking. 5 tips for improving your website’s crawl budget As crawling is a crawl bot’s main priority, it stands to reason that the best way to make the most of a search engine’s crawl budget is to make your site easy to crawl. Here are 5 tips for doing so. 1. Organise your website properly It’s important to have a well-organized website where the most important content is easily accessible from the homepage and other important entry points. That means having URLs the shortest distance possible from the homepage via internal links. The deeper your URLs go to your website, the less the crawl bot will crawl there. 2. Avoid low-value URLs You don’t want the Google bot wasting its crawl budget on pages that you don’t need it to crawl. So avoid all pages with low-quality, duplicate or spam-like content as these can negatively affect the crawling and indexing of your website. Not only do pages like this waste server resources but they will also drain crawl activity away from pages that do actually have value or that you really what the bot to crawl. 3. Have a reliable server Just as server errors can reduce your crawl rate limit, having a quick-responding server that enables more connections will help to improve the crawl rate. 4. Ensure your website is quick-loading A fast website with quick-loading pages will mean fewer timeouts, which will increase the crawl rate. 5. Always have quality content Remember, fresh content (i.e. regularly updated) that adds value to the user will make it popular – and like human users, the crawl bots just love fresh popular content. Optimisation for crawl budget is just one aspect of SEO While it’s still important to remember that crawl budget optimisation is only one part of SEO, if you check all the above boxes in your website development, then you’ll be able to maximize your website’s crawl budget. That, in addition to staying focused on building a website that delivers a great user experience for your audience, will enable you to achieve the search engine rankings to drive traffic to your website that will generate valuable leads and increased conversions.

Irrespective of the size of a New Zealand business, one of the questions that I am often asked. What is the quickest way to achieve a 'safe' social media presence? Online safety and security are among the biggest concerns for companies today. This is one of the main concerns that Cathy Mellett has to deal with every day in her role as Director of online marketing agency Net Branding. So what can be done? Two things mainly – take steps to prevent your social media accounts from being compromised or hacked and monitor employee access to your accounts and secure your account passwords. All social media security starts with your password(s). A strong password contains a mixture of lower case and capital letters, numbers and punctuation. By now, it shouldn’t even be necessary to say things like “avoid using personal information such as birthdays, family or pet names, and especially something like 1234567, or the word ‘password’ or other common words, but you’ll be surprised how often people still go there! Make sure you update your passwords regularly and don’t use the same password for everything – on the chance that someone discovers your password, you don’t want to end up handing them access to your entire Aladdin’s cave. Even better, establish a 2-step verification system when logging into your social media account. That way, when you log into your account you first have to type in the right password and then enter a verification code that is sent to your mobile phone. Install antivirus and security software on your mobile devices and computers and make sure you download the latest software updates, so the software remains current. And definitely check that your office Wi-Fi network is a secure one! An important factor in protecting your social media accounts and your online presence is knowing how to identify threats, especially through links in emails, tweets, posts and online advertising. Hackers can gain access to your account through phishing scams or by tricking you into clicking on a link, which then downloads malware to your computer, giving the bad guys access to all your information. Some of the red flags to look out for are things like shortened URLs, posts that don’t sound like your friend or colleague – especially when they’re asking you to click on a link to see something ‘amazing’ – and emails from friends that aren’t personally addressed to you or that aren’t signed with their name. If something looks suspicious to you, even if you know the source, the safest option is simply to delete it. A good tip is to avoid using your work email addresses for social media accounts. It’s far harder for someone to guess a secondary email than it is to find your main work email, which may actually be posted on your company’s contact page. Finally, and although a pretty obvious way to protect your online security, but it still needs to be stated, is control who has access to your social media accounts. The more people who have access to your firm’s social media accounts, the greater the risk. All it takes is one employee leaving their password out, and your entire account can be compromised.

What is Google Crawl Budget and is your website SEO optimised for it? We all know how crucial SEO (search engine optimisation) is for our business websites, don’t we? After all, we all want our websites to rank higher in search, especially Google search, so our sites can be found by more people and drive more traffic to them. Let's explore what your Google crawl budget means to your website and SEO. Right, so if SEO is all about optimising your site for the search engines, it’s very important to also think about how the search engines interact with your website. That’s a very basic consideration that is often overlooked. After all, Google (and other search engines) has made no secret of the fact that its sole purpose in life is to give its users the best possible search experience. If your website’s SEO is geared to helping the search engines achieve their goal, then you’ll reap the benefits. Give Google what it wants While there are numerous factors affecting how search engines deal with your website, if you want to optimise your website for the Google search engine, then you need to take the Google ‘crawl budget’ into consideration. If you understand the Google crawl budget, you’ll be able to take the necessary actions to ensure your website is crawled effectively by the Googlebot. What is a Google crawl budget? According to a definition published by Google earlier in 2017,  a Google crawl budget is comprised of two parts, namely: Crawl rate limit, and Crawl demand. Together, crawl rate limit and crawl demand determine the crawl budget as “the number of URLs the Googlebot can and wants to crawl”. And when it comes to your business website, there’s no better outcome than having the search engines wanting to crawl all your pages! 1. Crawl rate limit Google’s crawl rate limit prevents the Googlebot from overloading your website and slowing it down by making too many requests for it. Therefore, if your website’s speed is slow, the bot will not want to slow it down even more, so it will back away from crawling it too much. That’s not good. However, if your website is fast and able to quickly respond to requests from both search engines and human visitors at the same time, the Googlebot will take that as a good sign and crawl your website more. So it’s important to test the speed of your website, in particular, load times and the number of HTTP requests it’s dealing with. Load time needs to be short – as far below 2 seconds as possible. Any slower and Google is likely to pay less attention to it. Your website should also have as few HTTP requests as possible. Having a low number of HTTP requests will enable the Googlebot to make more requests and crawl your website more. 2. Crawl demand As far as crawl demand goes, Google rates fresh, popular website content as having a higher crawl demand. Yes, we’re back to the old topic we’re constantly talking about – good-quality, fresh content that people want to access. Your call to action So, what’s the call to action here? Speed up your website and make sure your content is fresh and desirable, and Google’s crawl budget for your website will also increase. How do you do that? Well, here are 3 things you can do to speed up your site. Declutter – keep the design of your website simple. The more ‘stuff’, no matter how good-looking or trendy they might be, you have in your design the longer it will take for your site to load. Make it a point to compress the file size of images in particular – and if you have any images that just look pretty but don’t really add anything to a viewer’s comprehension of your material, get rid of them. Make sure all of your pages work properly – you do not want visitors (humans or search engines) getting ‘404 errors’. Clean out duplicate content – duplicate content is not good for SEO because search engines don’t like to find duplicate content (and neither do humans, for that matter). If your site contains multiple pages with largely identical content tidy it up. Duplicate content is just a waste of everybody’s time. Now, what about crawl demand? It stands to reason that you want your website to be popular. That’s also important to the search engines, especially Google. You want people to want to come to your site and stick around on it, and share links to it with their own networks. If you can increase the popularity of your website, the search engines will sit up and take note, and give you a higher crawl budget. So you need to be popular – and here are 3 ways to achieve this: Add fresh content – people want fresh content, and so does Google. The fresher the content on your site, the more people will be interested in it (and share it with others). So keep adding new, high-quality (i.e. value adding) content. Update existing content – keep revisiting your content to ensure it is up to date. When a search engine sees your website’s content is constantly changing (as in improving – not simply changing for the sake of changing), it will re-crawl your site. Add new pages – it’s highly unlikely that a popular website will stay the same – it’s far more likely that visitors will have questions that trigger a response from you in the shape of new information on new pages. As your website grows it attracts the attention of the search engines. Of course, the additional pages need to be full of fresh, quality information (and don’t forget the points above about ensuring new pages and their content don’t slow down your website). Speed and quality for a greater crawl budget When all is said and done, the Google crawl budget is all about quality and speed. So those are the two things you should also focus on when it comes to your website’s SEO. Just remember, what Google and every other search engine wants is to give its users the best, most relevant search results. And that’s really what you want too, isn’t it? After all, the sole purpose of your website (irrespective of whether you’re offering a product or service) is to attract visitors to what you’re offering and convert them into loyal customers.

Stop and ask... “Are you measuring your social media efforts?” and “Do you know what’s working?”  I’m sure you’d agree these are pretty obvious questions, but it’s surprising how few companies actually have the answers to them. The most important thing to establish before selecting a monitoring tool is what you’re actually going to measure.  Any social media campaign worth its salt needs to have clearly defined objectives and measurable outcomes – metrics that will help you determine whether your social media marketing efforts are successful. On average, businesses spend 6% of their marketing budgets on analytics.  At first that may look like a lot, but when you look at it in context and ask yourself isn’t 6% worth spending to make sure the other 94% is spent wisely?! You’ll want to measure things like ‘reach’, as in the number of fans, followers or subscribers to your blog to get an idea of the size of your community.  Then there’s ‘engagement’ – getting an idea of the things that happen that indicate whether your audience is engaging with you.  So you look at things like retweets, comments, average time on site, clicks, video views and downloads.  Closely related to this is ‘sentiment’ – in other words, the number of positive (or negative) mentions about your firm. Tracking and storing data has a cost attached.  If your firm is large and has hundreds or thousands of mentions across the social web each day, and depending on which social media platform(s) you use, then your social media monitoring will cost you more, and vice versa. So before you invest in an expensive tool that promises to keep all of your data forever, ask yourself if you really need it – and whether you have the internal resources to sort, monitor and manage all that data? Many of the social networking tools have an extensive range of analytics and monitoring functions, but don’t forget the good old website analytics tool, Google Analytics – and it’s free. Perhaps it is first things first, is your website working properly? Still have questions, I may have answered these in a recent social media and digital marketing Q & A Session.   Do feel free to connect with me on Linkedin (Cathy Mellett) or send me a message with your digital marketing questions.

Click Here To Get In Touch!     ### Social Media and Digital Marketing for New Zealand Business A frank interview with Cathy Mellett, online marketing, digital marketing and social media veteran. How is social media and digital marketing changing? Cathy Mellett As Director of digital marketing and social media marketing company Net Branding, I’m still constantly amazed when I think that, only a decade ago, social media was little more than a budding trend. Back then, Facebook was still in its early stages of spreading around the world. Twitter had appeared, but many saw it merely as a rather pointless noise-maker. LinkedIn was essentially a digital resume or virtual Rolodex. Back then we also didn’t need to worry too much about customers sharing a negative experience. Sure, they might tell the standard dozen or so people with whom individuals tend to share such things, but that number was manageable. Fast forward to the present, and now we simply log in to our platform of choice put our thoughts into words and soon they’re growing legs of their own across the social sphere. Now, more than at any other time in human history, it’s easy to reach people right across the planet. We now have global voices. Unbelievable! These days, social media and digital marketing have not only become an integral part of our modern lifestyle, but it’s an increasingly valuable business tool. And just think how much reach customers have today! Now companies have an invested interest in the customer experience. Some with a hope of mitigating poor experiences and bad word-of-mouth. Others hope to encourage customers to share their positive experiences and become advocates. Twitter is switching. It is moving from the "Social Networking" to the "News" channel in Apple's iTunes App Store, becoming the top-ranked app in its category. Who’d have thought! Then there’s live video streaming. It’s not a new concept of course, but what is new is how accessible it has become, turning it into a key marketing and communication tool. Live streaming is all about connecting and interacting with your audience in real time. It breaks down barriers and creates a connection that transcends traditional marketing limitations. Just think, what would you remember more? Reading an interesting article or watching a video that lets you become part of the conversation? Well, it’s no surprise that video wins every time! And this is not just any video – there’s nothing more authentic and genuine as live video. And that’s exactly what audiences want – authenticity! Live video streaming is now also quick to produce. For example, how long would it take you to shoot a video tip or answer a question? Two/three minutes? That’s a lot less time than it takes to write a blog post. In today’s world of ever-shrinking attention spans, live video gives your audience a way to interact without them having to exert much energy or invest a lot of time. Why do businesses need to be 'on it' when it comes to social media? Social media has changed the way we communicate and connect on a personal level. And it’s now increasingly relevant in communications between lawyers, their clients, and the courts. I cannot over-stress the important of taking control of your online presence. There are few better ways of doing so than with social media. Used carefully, social media can give your firm a voice, amplify your professional reputation, and help drive new business. While many businesses have yet to adopt a social media strategy, it’s clear that it’s becoming more a marketing fundamental. According to recent data, 95% of Millennials expect brands to have a Facebook presence. Even 87% of Gen X and 70% of people aged 45 to 60 agree that businesses should at least have a Facebook page. In general, people expect brands to be present on a social network.  New Zealand businesses  are no exception to this expectation. By engaging with people on social media, you can attract new clients all while keeping past clients interested in your services, should they require them again in the future. While relatively few law firms maintain a blog, many of those who do have said they’ve acquired new clients from blogging. And a fair percentage of firms say they’ve obtained new clients from social media. Part of the reason for this could be due to the fact that more people are relying on social media to make purchasing decisions – and although service providers such as accountants and lawyers aren’t selling an online product, it’s reasonable to assume many of these same people will look at a service provider’s social media accounts before deciding who to work with. What are the main social media platforms they should be using and why? When I meet with potential clients who have been referred to me for digital marketing and social media services or consulting,  I’m often asked: “what are the main social media platforms that firms should be using?”. In today’s ever-changing technological age, it can be quite overwhelming trying to keep up with current trends. However, there are pretty much only 3 major platforms that your business needs to be familiar with: Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Although Facebook was traditionally considered a social networking site, there’s been a tremendous surge in using it for business over the past few years. In fact, most corporations and small businesses are now present on Facebook. However, your approach to marketing your business is unique and will be different to the next.  In a legal firm, the approach will be different to traditional marketing practices, simply because legal area is a more sensitive one, in which people don’t really respond well to cold sales and aggressive tactics. In the case of a law firm on Facebook, it should be seen more as a means for introducing your firm and then interacting with clients on a more personal level. So, in addition to reinforcing your firm's web presence, use Facebook as a channel to add subscribers to your newsletter, collect helpful reviews and commentary about your firm, and post fresh blog-type content as a way to develop and grow your firm’s reputation as an approachable brand. Twitter is one of the fastest-growing online platforms ever, with literally terabytes of very concise information on any topic imaginable hitting the Web every minute. While possibly overwhelming and intimidating at first, Twitter can be a very useful tool for a lawyer. By following the targeted keywords for your practice, such as "family law", "wills", “family trusts”, you can keep up with developments in the legal world in real-time – and share your newsworthy content at the same time. LinkedIn is the most professional and business-oriented of all the social networking sites. While Facebook and Twitter are great social platforms, lawyers should pay particular attention to the fact that hundreds of millions of professionals have already harnessed the power of LinkedIn. If you were wanting to choose only one of the big 3 business networking sites, it should be LinkedIn. Most major companies and New Zealand businesses can be found here – it is an extremely helpful networking system and a definite for personal profiles. You can write recommendations of colleagues, join groups in related fields or industries, post your resume for review, and more. So, in addition to serving as a virtual meeting place for all things business, LinkedIn is also a great news aggregator and publishing platform, which you can update with regular news items and value-adding contributions, making it an attractive resource for business owners. So what’s holding you back? Why not simply start by filling out an online profile that makes it easy for people to get information about your business, including any contact information. However, don’t simply limit your online presence to social media. Before you rush headlong into social media and digital marketing, ask an online marketing company like Net Branding to help you assess your online brand – they’ll take a pragmatic look at the whole spectrum of what’s doable, then recommend what’s practical for adding value in the case of your specific firm. The important point to remember in all decisions about having an online presence is that you select the platform that you’re comfortable with and that you have the budget and resources to keep it up to date.

Therefore, ensuring your website can be easily found online is crucial for the success of your business – and this is where search engine optimisation (SEO) plays a significant role. One of the most basic elements of SEO is your website’s URL. But first, what’s a URL? A URL or Uniform Resource Locator is human-readable text that replaces the numbers (IP addresses) that computers use to communicate with servers. A URL consists of the following: 1. Protocol – the web standard for the protocol is HTTP:// or Https://. 2. Domain name – is the human-readable name of the specific location where the website is located. 3. Path, which includes the specific folder and sub-folder structure of where a page is located. Benefits of SEO-friendly URLs When you’re creating your website, it’s important to create a URL structure that will make both the search engines (your digital visitors) and your human visitors happy. URLs that clearly describe your page content, are short enough to make your pages easy to remember and share, and make sense of your site navigation are some of the ways to make all visitors to your website happy. Let’s take a look at some of the elements for creating SEO-friendly URLs that will help your website rank as high as possible. 9 tips for creating SEO-friendly URLs 1. Go with HTTPS Online security is a major concern these days and Internet users want to know that they’re using a secure connection, especially if they’re also providing personal or financial details to purchase things via your website. So, when it comes to the protocol of your URL, go with HTTPS rather than HTTP. HTTPS stands for “HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure,” which is the secure version of HTTP. Information on an HTTPS website is encrypted, which significantly increases security and puts your visitors at ease, which will result in more visitors and a corresponding increase in attention from the search engines. 2. Choose a top-level domain name Your website’s domain name is the specific location where it’s hosted. If possible, go with a ‘top-level domain’ or TLD – you’re most likely familiar with .com and other TLDs like .edu for educational sites, .gov for governmental sites and so on. Having a top-level domain name is the one really important thing from the viewpoint of your human visitors – it makes them more likely to trust your site. That’s import t, because search engines pick up on whether or not people trust your website – the greater the level of human trust, the more they will visit, resulting in a greater level of interest by the search engines. 3. Limit the number of folders Folders and sub-folders are indicated by the slashes you see between text in a URL. Your website’s architecture and the way you structure your folders makes a difference to how visitors and search engines navigate your site. A good rule of thumb is to try to have your most important content within two clicks of your home page. The Proper folder structure is important – for example, www.yourwebsite.com/concretepaverproducts/ would be better structured as www.yourwebsite.com/products/concretepavers/. This way you are ‘nesting’ the pages correctly and logically, and you’re also giving the visitor the ability to always know where they are located on your website. Again, the key here is to keep your folders simple – use as few slashes or folders as possible in your URLs (try to limit yourself to two). Not only does this make your URL easier on the eye of your human visitor, it also makes it easier for a search engine to decipher what’s going on in your website. 4. Ensure your URL is readable It should come as no surprise that good SEO and user-friendliness go hand in hand. The easier humans can read a URL, the better it is for search engines too. The search engines leverage user data to determine with what people are engaging or not. So, when creating your URL, be sure its human-friendly – something simple and clear that can be easily understood at a glance. 5. Keep it short and simple When it comes to SEO-friendly URLs, the best rule is to keep it as short and simple as possible – as long as the URL still gives a visitor a clear and accurate idea of what they can expect to find when they click on the link. If you want an even more specific guideline, aim for around 60 characters. If you cannot give a visitor to your website a clear idea of what to expect in 60 characters, then something’s wrong. In addition to being easier to understand, shorter URLs are also easier to memorise, copy and paste, read to someone over the phone, or share on social media – and anything that improves the sharing of your URL is worth the effort. 6 Include keywords Creating a good URL is all about usability – if it’s good for visitors, it’s good for search engines. That’s why you want to use keywords in your URLs, instead of random words and numbers. Use one or two of the keywords you're targeting for rankings. This lets people who see your URL know what they're going to get. Keywords in the URL also show up in search results, which helps searchers decided whether to click or not. Of course, you shouldn’t stuff your URLs with keywords – you wouldn’t do that in your content so neither would you want to do that in your URLs. Limit yourself to one or two meaningful keywords. 7 If you must separate words, use hyphens Search engines pay attention to punctuation marks in URLs to ensure that the results they deliver are in the same context as what the user has typed into the search box. If you want to separate words in your URL, use hyphens instead of underscores, plus-signs or spaces. Using underscore indicates to search engines something different than when you use a dash. And spaces render awkwardly in URLs as %20, which detracts from the readability for users. 8 Use lowercase letters Always use lowercase letters because capitals have an effect on the way search engines index your pages. If your URL has capital letters and a user shares a lowercase version, it could result in a 404 error, indicating that the page was not found 9 Avoid including file extensions in URLs Having file extensions like .html, .php or .asp at the end of your URLs might not have an effect on how search engines rank your pages, but there are still good reasons to avoid including them. Firstly, they also don’t ‘read’ well for the human visitor and make it difficult for them to remember your URL. Secondly, there’s the matter of security – the more information that you make available about how your website is built, the greater the chance of some malicious user working out how to hack it. In summary – keep it simple A well-crafted URL gives both humans and search engines an easy-to-understand indication of what the destination page will be about – and anything that makes it clear what a visitor will see if they click a link improves their user experience. Basically, creating SEO-friendly URLs comes down to three common-sense principles, namely: keep it short, simple and readable. If you base the creation of your URLs on these three principles, then you’ll be fine. Need help with creating SEO-friendly URLs for your website?

Because, let’s face it, with so many people engaged on Facebook you can pretty much bet your bottom dollar that a good chunk of your customers (and potential customers) are there too – so, reaching them with your message via Facebook advertising should be as easy as one, two, three. That said, however, with so many people active on social media, the various networks get very busy and noisy – and with so many users, Facebook is the busiest and noisiest of them all. What this means is that, if you’re going to be effective in reaching your prospects, you’re either going to have to be able to stand out in some spectacular way in order to get them to take notice of your online advertising – or you need to be smart about how you isolate the market segments that are the right ones for your particular business to target. Mining Facebook data and insights When it comes to audience data and insights, Facebook advertising is pretty much king of the social media castle. Even better, Facebook makes all this information available to its advertisers, which means that Facebook is the ideal platform for any business with a savvy digital marketing strategy to advertise its products and services online. One of the best tools available on Facebook is its Audience Insights, which allows you to learn about its specific audiences. In this way, you can make use of the ‘three Fs’ of Facebook user data to focus your online advertising efforts and budget. 3 Facebook advertising tips to focus on So, instead of taking a punt in the dark of what is an otherwise HUGE user audience, with Facebook Audience Insights you can get a very good steer on which users are likely to be interested in your products or services and, more importantly, be keen to follow through on your calls to action. Here are 3 Facebook advertising tips for mining the ‘Fs’ of Facebook user data to reveal who and where your target markets are. 1. Following: People ‘follow’ others on Facebook – finding out who they’re following or, in other words, who their ‘influencers’ are, gives you a way in for targeting their followers; or it may even reveal a specific niche or opportunity for you to become an influencer and build your own following. 2. Frequenting: The sites and publications that people frequent on a regular basis tell you a lot about them and gives you another avenue for targeting than with your Facebook ads. 3. Funding: Where and on what people are spending their money is a very good indication of where their interests lie – this is information you can use to build your own Facebook advertising campaign. Putting it all together Creating a killer Facebook advertising campaign is all about understanding the platform and making use of its features. Using Facebook user data to nail the three F’s of Facebook users will give you the edge for targeting the right users in what is otherwise a very busy and noisy environment. Of course, it pays to remember that Facebook is constantly changing its advertising platform, which means it’s important to stay on top of any new developments and apply them accordingly. So, if you’re looking for help accessing, understanding and using Facebook’s advertising data so you can create an effective digital marketing strategy for your business, talk to the team at digital marketing agency Net Branding. As a social media company, the team at Net Branding have the expertise to help you make full use of all the information that Facebook makes available, so you can successfully isolate the right segments in the vast Facebook population and target potential prospects with your specific messages and calls to action.

The implication of this is that your business website and social media networks are often the first places consumers will go to find you. What that means is that your digital marketing efforts using these platforms are often you're only opportunity to make that all-important first impression online. So, it’s really important to make sure all online marketing through your online real estate keeps your visitors engaged. While online engagement can take many forms, the reasons why people engage with brands remain pretty much consistent. People will really only engage with a brand that they like and with which they don’t mind being associated. In other words, a brand that they value, relate to and trust. Online engagement is a two-way conversation We at digital marketing company Net Branding believe online engagement can be defined as a two-way conversation – and includes anything and everything that involves a conversation online. Your online communication should be powerful enough to grab your audience’s attention, then build and maintain their trust so they develop a relationship with your business. When you achieve that level of online engagement it will become the catalyst that converts prospects into customers, customers into loyal customers, and loyal customers into the vocal brand advocates that your business needs in today’s Web-centric world. The full spectrum of online engagement Essentially, people who engage with you online can be categorised as ranging from those who merely ‘visit’ your website – in other words, just showing up and then leaving again – to those who potter around your site, spending time consuming your content (which is a good thing for SEO or search engine optimisation), to those who ‘convert’, by trying or buying something from you, to those who endorse your brand and actively promote trust in it. Do you know how your digital real estate ranks on the spectrum of online engagement? Measuring your online engagement Your ability to hold an online visitor’s attention or induce them to take some sort of action – and the longer people spend on your website, the more likely they are to fill their cart and head to the checkout – determines the level of your online engagement. So, ask questions about how consumers are engaging with what they find on your website and other digital platforms. Are they staying in just one spot, or are they moving around your website? What is their behaviour like the moment they land on your website – are they leaving your site without visiting any other pages? Bounce rates are great for measuring the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of an entry page at generating interest and engaging visitors. 5 tips for boosting online engagement We all know that there’s no shortage of content available online, so that first impression you make on your digital platforms is often the only opportunity you’re going to get. In our Web-centric world, consumers expect the same type of experience with a business online as they would in-store. So, irrespective of whether your business is geared towards moving product or nurturing leads into clients, it’s crucial you create an engaging web presence across all your platforms. Here are 5 tips for boosting online engagement and increasing the effectiveness of your Internet marketing efforts. 1. Curate distinct content When it comes to building online engagement with the visitors to your sites, there is no substitute for high-quality, useful content. You simply cannot get past the importance of value-adding content for boosting online engagement. So make sure you create all your content with the aim of building a distinct experience for visitors – one that makes them want to stick around and come back for more. 2. Make sure you link – a lot High-quality content becomes an even more effective tool for increasing online engagement if you link across all your digital platforms to other pages (of high-quality content) on your website. 3. Use social media It’s very important to ensure you use social media as a communications tool. While your website should be the focal point for information about your business, social media is a highly effective way of reaching out into the huge digital space to open a line of communication between you and your customers, and driving them back to your website. You need to be where your customers are – and these days, they’re on social media. If you want help adding social media marketing to your digital marketing strategy, talk to the team at Net Branding – we’re skilled at helping our clients develop social media strategies to significantly increase online engagement that makes a real difference to their bottom line. 4. Be very visual Visual elements of any website – and many of the social media platforms too – are crucial for determining the credibility of a business as a whole, in the eyes of your audience. Strive to provide a website experience that’s informative, useful and eye-catching. Facebook is a great example for illustrating the power of visual elements, with posts containing images shown to be far more engaging than simple text posts, while video content can increase engagement as much as 10 times or more over simple text posts. 5. Open the lines of communication Asking questions – and giving visitors the opportunity to respond – is key for increasing engagement on any online platform. After all, we defined online engagement as a two-way conversation online. So it stands to reason that if you want to see increased engagement with your business online, then you need to enable two-way conversations. For example, ask for feedback and comments – and be prepared to respond promptly and, if necessary, show that if there are any issues that you’ll take quick action to rectify them. Two-way conversations, when done properly, are like gold for creating transparency and building trust among your online audience. Achieve the online engagement your business needs Your efforts to create remarkable content and achieve stellar results with social media advertising won’t impact your bottom line without a defined plan for increasing online engagement.

Your website has the potential to enable you to reach a huge audience and to take your business to the next level. So, ensuring your website is optimised for the task is crucial. With optimisation of your website in mind, there are two aspects to which you need to pay particular attention, namely ‘on-page’ and ‘off page’ SEO. As a general rule, on-page SEO refers to anything happening on your website or page – these are things that are under your direct control. On-page SEO is focused on optimising the parts of your website that affect the overall readability of the site for visitors as well as how easily the search engines can understand what your site is about and navigate its structure and content, thereby determining its search engine ranking. The 7 most important elements of on-page SEO include: The 7 most important elements of on-page SEO include: Page content Alt text Title tags Header tags URL structure Page loading speed Internal links Off-page SEO, on the other hand, covers factors outside of your own website that tells the search engines that your content provides value for its users – in other words, it’s all about establishing the ‘authority’ of your website and its content. The more highly regarded it is by the outside world, the higher it will rank in the search engine results. To put it simply… Your on-page SEO determines what your website is ranked for, while your off-page SEO reflects how highly others regard your website and its content, which influences where the search engines will rank it in their search results. The 7 most important elements of on-page SEO 1. Page content We say this all the time – and we’ll probably continue saying it till the end of time too – your actual on-page content is always going to be one of the biggest drivers of SEO. Search engines like Google are getting more and more sophisticated at identifying well-crafted content. They take note of things like the reading level of your text and how long readers stay on your pages. So, your content needs to be well-written and of high-quality, and by that we mean it needs to be interesting, entertaining and/or useful to your visitors. Also, when visitors arrive at your site, they need to be able to quickly and easily find what they’re looking for, they need to be able to read and understand it easily, and what they find ultimately needs to provide them with something that they value. If you use images (and you really should), then make sure they are the sufficiently low resolution to not slow down page loading times. They also need to relate meaningfully to your content and they must tie back to your keyword strategy with good alt text tags. 2. Alt text It’s vital that you include an ‘alt text’ markup tag on each graphic or image, with its name and an accurate description of it. Your CMS (content management system) should permit you to add ‘alt text’ to the images on your website. Alt text isn't visible to most visitors – it’s used by screen reader software to help blind visitors understand the content of your page graphics; it’s also used by search engines to help them understand the content of your page. So, inserting relevant keywords in an accurate description of the specific graphic feature is very important. 3. Title tags Title tags are still one of the main ways search engines categorise and index web pages. So, your title tags should relate directly to your page content – a good way to ensure this is to include your targeted keywords in the title tag of each page on your site. However, make sure you do so in a sensible and meaningful way. 4. Header tags Search engines use your header tags (in other words, the H1, H2, H3 headings on your page) to rank the importance of each section of text within the page. So, it’s a good idea to include your targeted keywords in these headings to reinforce the overall theme or message of your content. Just make sure you do it in a way that still makes sense as well as reflecting the actual content on the specific page. 5. URL structure Search engines such as Google like URLs that makes sense to readers. So, avoid using lots of jumbled letters or numbers and instead give your page file names that mirror the content. If possible, include your targeted keywords in your URLs. However, before you try changing your existing URLs, talk to someone who knows what they’re doing. The team at Auckland digital marketing agency Net Branding know how to overcome the pitfalls associated with doing this willy-nilly – so give us a call before you try changing your existing URLs. 6. Page loading speed Internet surfers have notoriously short attention spans and very little patience for sites that take a long time to load – and by ‘long’ we mean anything longer than a few seconds. So, fast-loading pages are a must! The search engines want to ensure their users can quickly find what they're looking for, so the faster your pages load the higher they will be ranked in the search results. Also, you’ll want to ensure that visitors can access your site quickly on any device. If your site isn’t able to provide a fast and efficient experience to visitors using phones or tablets, your site will be tagged as not mobile friendly and its ranking will be downgraded. 7. Internal links Are you linking to your own content? You should be. Including links to your pages to content on other pages of your website is useful for both your visitors and the search engines. So include these as much as possible where they make sense and add to the visitor experience. Remember, search engines like to see signs of a good visitor experience! While internal linking is very useful in helping the search engines establish your site architecture, internal linking can help your visitors navigate your website, which helps improve their time-on-page. To summarise… Your on-page SEO is all about ensuring your pages can be read as easily as possible by both your visitors and the various search engines. The beauty of the elements of on-page SEO is that these are all things YOU can control – so how effective they are is entirely up to YOU! The better your on-page SEO is, the more easily the search engines will be able to index your pages, understand what your website is about, and navigate its structure and content, all of which will result in your website being ranked accordingly. Once you’ve got your on-page SEO sorted, it’s time to focus on your off-page SEO. Off page SEO ‘Domain Authority’ or increasing the authority of your website is a blanket term that covers a number of elements that together add up to how authoritative and reliable your website and its content is perceived by the big wide digital world out there. Search engines like Google determine the authority of your website by looking at who is linking to you. The more well-regarded websites that link organically to your site, the greater your reputation will be within the Google Algorithm. Of course, the first step to learning these valuable links starts by creating valuable content (i.e. the most important element of on-page SEO) – awesome content that people want to share and link to because they see it as valuable. Once you’ve done that, then you can focus on increasing the number and quality of those backlinks. Here are some easy ways you can go about securing links back to your website. Share your content on social media. A website that enjoys a strong social media presence will also tend to achieve higher search rankings. This makes sense simply because a site that is shared widely on the major social networks is bound to see a boost in its SEO. Become a guest blogger on a well-regarded (and popular) website is another great way to boost your off-page SEO. Not only will doing so provide you with great exposure to a wider audience but you’ll also increase the perception of your own site’s authority. Develop email marketing campaigns to influencers in your industry – if done right, this can result in some great backlinks to your website from really high-quality players. How to ensure your website achieves maximum potential As you can see from the above, both on-page and off page SEO are equally important. However, unless you get your on-page SEO in order before you focus on your off-page SEO, it’s unlikely you’ll enjoy much success with the search engines. Including both on-page and off page SEO in your digital strategy is the most effective way to improve your website’s ranking by the search engines and ensure your website performs to its maximum potential.

Less than 10 years ago, marketers spent huge sums of money on TV adverts, billboards, and print media to market their products. Now, more than 50 percent of their spend is in digital marketing, with social media becoming an important component. Why’s that? Social media is always evolving and improving. In the last 5 years alone there have been plenty of additions. Live streaming is one of them. While not a new concept, what is new is how accessible it has become, turning it into a key marketing and communication tool. Facebook Live streaming – is it part of your social media strategy? Facebook is a great site to connect with people, build connections with others, meeting new people, sharing your ideas, and the important events of your life. In the first quarter of the year 2016, Facebook was recorded to have over 1.65 billion monthly active users. To keep thinks fresh and interesting for all its users, Facebook is always introducing new features and trends. And the trend that people cannot stop using these days is Facebook live streaming. Facebook Live streaming is not a new concept of course, but what is new is how accessible it has become, turning it into a key marketing and communication tool. Why is everyone so excited about Facebook Live Streaming? Live streaming is all about connecting and interacting with your audience in real time. It breaks down barriers and creates a connection that transcends traditional marketing limitations. It is an awesome way for businesses, online marketers and event celebrities, to use the power of live video to communicate their brand stories and build authentic, close relationships with their fans and followers. Let’s talk about why Facebook Live is a must in any business: Just think, what would you remember more? Reading an interesting article or watching a video that lets you become a part of the conversation? Well, it’s no surprise that video wins every time! And this is not just any video – there’s nothing more authentic and genuine as live video, and that’s exactly what audiences want – authenticity! Live video streaming is now also quick to produce. For example, how long would it take you to shoot a video tip or answer a question? Two/three minutes? That’s a lot less time than it takes to write a blog post. In today’s world of ever-shrinking attention spans, live video gives your audience a way to interact without them having to exert much energy or invest a lot of time. It provides your audience with a ‘window’ into your business. For example, use it to show your customers a behind-the-scenes look at how you create a product; or host interviews – interview your company’s employees, clients or important people in your niche. People love to see anything that's usually off limits.  It increases the level of ‘trust’ among your audience – as we said, there’s nothing more authentic than live video (as opposed to planned, pre-recorded and edited). Facebook Live is ‘livestream’ which means that people can engage with you in real-time. As the video is shooting; you see how many people are watching the video, as well as their names and comments.  Your Facebook followers (and their friends) are more likely to see Facebook Live Streaming because Facebook is giving priority to Facebook Live in the newsfeed, so it’s showing it to more people than it would a regular photo or text-based post.  As soon as it’s over, the video is automatically saved to your timeline.  From there you can share it, tweet it, embed it in blog posts, or delete it.  Facebook retains the video in the newsfeed (this is why it’s better than Periscope, where it disappears after 24 hours).  Use it to broadcast live events. If you’re at a conference or some other place others would love to be, simply share it live! And engage with the audience while you’re filming. Walk and talk them through it, and answer questions they send in. With live streaming, Facebook has brought something special to the table and this is a chance to share you special “live” moments with your fans, friends, family, and followers in a matter of seconds. And since people are becoming more familiar with it, more and more people are going live to share their story on social media. You, as a business, can also benefit from Facebook live streaming and connect with your customers in a more effective way. But remember, you need to be careful about what you say on Facebook live streaming. If you need help understanding Facebook Live streaming and how it works, you can always call us at Net Branding and ask our team. Net Branding understands that each business is different and as your digital marketing team, we will help you with all your digital marketing needs and answer all of your questions. We deliver effective content strategies for forward-thinking companies – with a proven track record. Be Seen, Be Heard, Be Found Online.

If you don’t quickly get the attention of your target audience, then you’ve pretty much lost the battle. If you’re using Facebook as a tool in your digital marketing (hopefully you are – see our article, How to succeed with your Facebook marketing in 2017 for more about why you should be using Facebook to build an online presence for your business), then the headline of your Facebook advert is very important. It’s been found that as much as 80% of readers don’t make it past the headline. What’s more, on Facebook, you’re not only competing against other businesses for attention – you’re also competing with people’s family and friends. So the stakes are high when it comes to writing advert headlines that will get your target audience to click through to your specific web page or product offer. We’ve put together 7 powerful headline writing tips to help you create Facebook advert headlines that will grab attention and get people to click. Here they are: 1. Use numbers Research shows that headlines that include a number do very well at grabbing attention – oddly enough, headlines that include an odd number have a higher click-through rate than headlines that include an even number. So, for example, if your headline is about “tips for writing better Facebook headlines”, then go with 5, 7 or 9 headline writing tips rather than 6, 8 or 10 headline writing tips. Using numbers in a headline is also a way to provide ‘social proof’ to increase people’s trust. Just think, for example, of the famous McDonald’s advertising “billions and billions served” – the implication is that it must be good if so many people have been there; or “over 75 million websites rely on WordPress for their existence” – conveys the same sentiment. 2. Create a burning platform Often, people will need to be given a sense of urgency to get them to click on your advert. In other words, making them feel like they might miss out on a great offer if they don’t. For example, just think of ‘GrabOne’ deals, where there’s a countdown indicating the time left until the end of the deal. In other words, there’s no room for second-guessing the deal, as it will soon be gone (unless you click on the advert and take action). 3. Be clear, precise and to the point You have three text fields for the copy in your Facebook adverts – the headline, the main text and the news feed link description. Our advice for text in all these fields is the same – keep your copy short and extremely clear. Facebook adverts are expensive real estate and aren’t there to tell your life story. Instead, use clear and catchy text to attract people to the advert, and then let them click through to your site to learn more about your product or service. Never write a vague headline that leaves people unsure as to what you’re on about – remember that stat about 80% of people not making it past the headline? You literally have milliseconds to grab their attention or lose them, possibly forever. So, make your headline crystal clear, for example, “Save on autumn travel” or “Autumn Travel – 2 Day Sale”. Headlines like this leave no room for misinterpretation or confusion as to what it’s all about, and they’ve also got that ‘burning platform’ in there too. A study by web content discovery platform Outbrain found that headlines with 60-100 characters earn the highest click-through rates and that this declines as headlines increase beyond 100 characters. However, Facebook itself recommends that advert headlines that are highly engaging fall between as few as 25 to 40 characters in length. Whatever you do, just remember to focus on creating something that is easily understood and value-oriented. 4. Include a call to action Calls-to-action work. Including a call-to-action, i.e. an explicit what-to-do, in your advert makes it easy for a user to click through to your site to learn more about your product, sign up to a service, download an eBook, and so on. Your Facebook advert should be a ‘lead magnet’ that advertises something specific, rather than just your site or whole service – and the link from that ‘lead magnet’ should point to a dedicated landing page, so you can capture information about your customers easily. If they go straight to your homepage, or to another page on Facebook, then you’ll lose this information and won’t be able to track how well your Facebook advert campaign is working. 5. Define the benefit Your Facebook advert headline should also make it very clear what people will get out of clicking on the advert. For example, “Activate your 60%-off savings now – sale ends Friday” leaves to doubt about what you’ll get when you click. Notice the use of a number and the inclusion of a sense of urgency. Some other common calls-to-action are things like ‘Learn More’, ‘Shop Now’ and ‘Sign Up’. When creating your headline, ask yourself questions like: What will be people’s motivation be for clicking the call-to-action? What will people get when they click through? Is what I’m offering useful – will people see value in it? Is what I’m offering a unique benefit? (In other words, am I offering something that sets me apart from my competition?) Is there a sense of urgency – does what I’m offering to motivate people to act now? 6. Ask a question Questions make people curious. Research by Outbrain showed that headlines that end in a question mark had higher click-through rates than those ending with an exclamation mark or full stop. If you manage to ask the right question (for your specific target audience) in your advert headline and appeal to people’s curiosity, then they’ll click your advert. One of HubSpot’s Facebook adverts (HubSpot is a developer and marketer of software products for inbound marketing and sales) simply asks, “How well do you rank for SEO?”. The advert works because businesses in HubSpots target audience have a lot to gain by knowing the answer to that question. 7. Use power words Every single word matters when you write headlines for your Facebook advert. However, there are certain words that are known as ‘power words’ because they leap off the page or screen and grab attention. Here are 7 attention-grabbing word or phrase types that will do the trick. 2. Words that convey ‘you’: Apparently, our brain is activated specifically by hearing our own name or thinking of ourselves. Ideally, every advert would be personalised, but in lieu of that, the word ‘you’ will work just as well. Write your advert headline so it talks directly to your reader, and you’ve got a winner. 4. Words that convey a sense of immediacy: The offer of getting something ‘now’ rather than later always seems like the better option – it’s why hire-purchase and the whole “buy now, pay later” concept is so popular. 6. Words that imply ‘easy ways out’: Our hectic modern lives put so much pressure on us that any offer of something to make it easier and simpler will get our eye. So, headlines that focus on problems or pain points by promising easy solutions and using words that imply instant results, such as ‘tricks’, ‘shortcuts’, ‘cheat sheets’, ‘checklists’ and so on are eye-catching. 7. Words that convey ‘free’ or that tap into greed: Advertising copywriting is all about AIDA – grabbing Attention, getting Interested, building Desire and motivating to Action. One of the toughest tasks is building the required desire to make the action happen. One way is to use words that convey ‘free’. People love something that’s free. Including the word in an advert is almost guaranteed to catch the eye. Another way is to appeal to a sense of greed by, for example, focusing on the making or saving of money – using words and phrases like ‘bargain’ and ‘discount’ or ‘fortune’, ‘double or doubling’ and ‘make a six-figure income’, or their synonyms, will get push the ‘desire’ button.

Firstly, the days of prospective customers heading in-store to find out about products and services from a sales rep are well and truly over. Nowadays, people do their own research. For example, research done by HubSpot, a developer of inbound marketing and sales software, found people do around 12 online searches before even visiting a brand’s website. Secondly, there’s more noise out there than ever before, constantly clamoring for customers’ attention. However, in response to this noise, consumers are fast-forwarding television shows, installing ad-blockers so they can browse the web without adverts and customizing what they get to see in their social media feeds. All this makes it imperative that you find a way to make sure your brand can still stand out – and one of the best ways for doing this is by means of content marketing. Content marketing isn’t just for the big brands. Small businesses use it successfully every day to grow their sales. The question is, are you? Content marketing that makes consumers sit up and take note Here’s a little success story of how one very small business used content marketing to achieve a whole new outcome. In 2007, English taxi dispatcher Lauren Luke began to subsidise her day job by selling make-up on eBay. In an attempt to increase sales, Lauren created ‘how to’ videos and posted them on YouTube. Very soon, Lauren was bigger than mega cosmetics brand Estee Lauder on YouTube, and she was able to launch of her own make-up company, By Lauren Luke, stop dispatching taxis and become a successful business owner. Lauren had never spent a cent on traditional marketing. By replacing the traditional sales pitch with helpful information, Lauren made consumers sit up and take notice. Why did it work? By making prospective customers see her brand as a valued provider of useful and relevant information, instead of merely being self-promoting, she ultimately enticed them to do business with her – and the return on her investment in content marketing was huge. Low cost and effective In any business, relevant content is one of its most valuable assets. However, the fact that small businesses have much less capital and fewer resources than bigger brands makes content marketing one of the best marketing strategies for any small business. In fact, content marketing is one of the most low-cost and effective ways you can build awareness of your business, generate leads and drive traffic to your website. Content marketing includes all forms of digital marketing, from emails and social media to webinars, eBooks and video – in other words, anything used to create and share content that will attract, engage and, ultimately, drive a profitable customer action. 7 tips for creating a successful content marketing strategy No matter what industry you’re in – from fixing cars to building homes or selling widgets – you can attract and retain customers through content marketing. Here are 7 tips for creating a successful content marketing strategy that will drive results and increase your bottom line. 1. Set specific goals – ones that you can measure First of all, you need to establish what you want to achieve with your content marketing – so you can measure whether it’s working or not. Is your intention to boost your SEO, or do you want to generate more leads or are you trying to secure more conversions? 2. Know what content people want Remember, it’s not about what you want – it’s about what ‘they’ want. While you might know exactly what you want to tell them, if that’s not something prospective customers want to hear about, you’ll be wasting your time and effort. So make sure you understand what it is that people want to find out about your niche market. What are their pain points? What are their needs? What are the things they want to know before they commit to buying the sort of products or services that you’re selling? This will help you in your choice of topics and mediums for creating content that answers their questions, as the first step in guiding them towards your solution. 3. Give them fresh, quality content – and do so regularly As we mentioned before, it’s ‘loud’ out there. To get noticed among all the noise, you have to provide a steady flow of new information on various topics to grab the attention of your target audience and drive traffic to your website. Only quality content (informative, useful, entertaining material) is going to get their attention, get shared on social media, and get them to engage with your business. Remember too that other marketing tactics, such as pay-per-click advertising and banner ads, don’t really work if there is little or no fresh content to discuss or link to. Make sure you give people a reason to click and to keep coming back for more. Fresh, quality content also boosts SEO and search engine ranking, which increases the likelihood of your target audience coming across your material, but it’s also a great way to make yourself stand out from your competition, and make your brand more familiar in your target market – that way, there’s a much greater chance they will think of your business first-up when they need your type of product or service. 4. Build a reputation as a thought leader If there are seven plumbers in town but only one provides useful information, then that will be the business that will start to stand out as the trusted expert in that community. Any small business that helps consumers, especially when they aren’t getting paid, will quickly build a reputation for trustworthiness. 5. Create content in various formats and repurpose for different platforms People have preferences when it comes to the format in which they like to research their intended purchases. Some like to read an in-depth report, while others would rather just watch a video or look at a product comparison table. To reach the widest possible range of potential customers think about preparing your information in various formats. However, you can easily turn an eBook into a series of blog posts, or grab some statistics from the eBook to create an infographic, or create a quick video interview to share the information from the eBook. People also have their preferences when it comes to the platform via which they like to receive their information – so, think also in terms of blogs, website pages and the various social media networks. 6. Keep your website fresh, up to date and mobile-friendly We all know the expression “first impressions count” – when it comes to your website they count even more, because it is often the first impression a potential customer will get of your business. So, do everything you can to make sure it’s a good one. A dated website will neither impress a viewer nor will it give them confidence in your business, and they will quickly lose interest and possibly never come back! Having a website that looks fresh and inviting, where information is not only up to date but is constantly featuring new material will make for a far better visitor experience, and will build their confidence that your business will be able to deliver for them. Make sure to optimise your website for mobile to ensure your content renders properly on mobile devices. 7. Include a call to action It’s natural for people to take some time to decide whether to spend money on a product or make time for a service. However, once a prospective customer gets a clear answer to their question(s) or hears something they can relate to or engage with, then they will be motivated to make a purchase or schedule an appointment. When your content clearly answers the question “What’s in it for me?”, explains why what you offer is the best solution for your customer and gives them a clear call to action, then your content will be achieving what you intended it to accomplish. Want help to create a content marketing strategy that delivers? We hope these tips have given you the encouragement you need to create a content marketing strategy that will ultimately attract and engage your target audience. While it may take some time to see the results, if you stick with it, and continue to re-evaluate and refine your strategy, you are sure to reap great results. If you would like help to create a content marketing strategy that’s tailored specifically to your business, then talk to the team at Net Branding, Auckland’s full-service digital marketing agency.

With more than 1.6 billion monthly active users worldwide, more than 2.5 million people in New Zealand accessing Facebook each month and 1.9 million Kiwis accessing it each day, what does this tell us about this social media network as a business tool? The answer, in a nutshell, is that Facebook has all eyes on it. And that’s very important when it comes to business. But let’s step back for just a moment to a time before Facebook… What did we do before Facebook? We wrote letters and sent emails – we hardly ever do that anymore! We also weren’t so familiar with brands, and we were probably also more patient. Can you remember the thrill of creating your Facebook account? It was like joining the world for the second time, announcing your existence to the Internet. You started to explore the endless possibilities of communicating with a digital world. However, Facebook (and other social media networks) heralded the dawn of a less patient era. Now, rather than writing a letter to file a complaint with a company about their product or service, we jump onto their social media page. Why choose Facebook as a business tool? As a great networking tool for the 21st century, and with billions around the world using its immense features, there are many compelling reasons for businesses to use Facebook as an advertising and promotional platform. After all, through what other media channel can business reach so many people, target exactly the demographic they wish and have direct communication with their customers? This is why any business – big or small – need to consider advertising on Facebook. It’s a great opportunity for a business to make online sales, build a following around their brand, create a platform where customers can discuss their products and, when done successfully, let people spread the word about them. Does every business need a Facebook page? Every business with a customer base that uses Facebook needs to have a presence there. People talk about different brands, their products, and services every day. Doesn't it make sense to be available to engage them on their turf? We’re convinced the answer is YES. However, it’s important to view the creation of your Facebook page for business the same as you would view creating a community, for that's what it is. Some of the principles for creating an online community includes: regular updates with compelling and unique content, encouraging your audience to engage on your Facebook page via comment or likes or shares on your posts and maintaining personal contact with them is vital. Who benefits the most from Facebook marketing? Contrary to what many might believe, marketing on Facebook benefits small, traditional retailers the most. That’s because small businesses offer unique products or services to a smaller range of customers. Facebook provides an excellent opportunity to reach the exact target audience with a personal approach. In fact, if you offer a niche product or service, you might even have a competitive advantage as a large business would less likely have the time to focus in depth on a single niche. Facebook – and important brand awareness and messaging channel Over the years, the number of retail brands using Facebook to drive e-sales has skyrocketed. Most of these businesses are not just looking to up-sell current customers, but to encourage buying among new users, as well. However, driving conversions among new audiences, particularly among non-customers, is more difficult. No matter how eye-catching your advert might be, Facebook remains a platform that people use to find the familiar — friends, family, trusted news sources, and brands included. Users tend to stop on branded posts from businesses for which they have an affinity, or at a minimum, for which they have some level of brand recall. Remember, when it comes to Facebook, the first touch point is about connecting a potential customer with your brand – not making a sale. The sale will happen more effectively once there are familiarity and awareness among your audience. Building brand awareness All brands start out small. Building brand awareness on Facebook by using your Facebook Page takes time and requires that you keep up the momentum. Today’s consumers are extremely savvy about advertising and tend to be skeptical of anything that is overtly promotional. Content marketing is the art of creating content that is compelling and unique without being overtly aimed at driving sales. The key is to develop your brand as a trustworthy resource that people go to for information about your industry or product. Proper content marketing articles are those that are well-researched, targeted to the brand and linked directly to authoritative resources – and a properly done piece will grow legs of its own. A business messaging tool Like any social media platform, Facebook shines in its ability to speak directly to your customers or prospective customers about the issues that matter to them. Many businesses get positive press from speaking with their customers openly and honestly about themselves and their products – and there’s nothing better than positive press for building a brand identity. On Facebook, you can also study what your customers are saying about your brand. This is a unique opportunity to gather information about what you could do to make your brand more attractive. It’s also a great way to find out which of your social media strategies are actually working. An increasingly important factor for brands on social media is the matter of customer service. Customers often turn to social media to solve an issue they have with a business. According to Facebook, over a billion people visit pages every month looking for more information from businesses. Often, this will take the form of a comment on a post or a message sent to the business. All social media managers live in fear of bad comments left on their page by angry customers. Often, they’re hesitant about how to answer – for example, replying to the customer’s comment risks escalating the issue in front of everyone. On the other hand, ignoring the customer’s comment could result in an angry customer escalating it themselves. Now, however, Facebook enables businesses to reply to comments via private messages. And that changes everything, taking the conversation away from the page, and making the customer feel like their request or issue is being dealt with properly. What would you do if Facebook suddenly crashed? Over the last year or so, you may recall the media furore when Facebook experienced a number of outages. Every time it happened, no matter how brief the outage, Facebook users erupted in outrage, turning to other social media networks to vent their frustration. On the one hand, this could be seen as a compliment to Facebook itself – with users (‘fans’) besides themselves at the slightest disruption. On the other hand, it could mean that we’ve reached the point where too many people, too many businesses have come to rely heavily on the channel for their communication, maybe even their livelihood. Could it be that Facebook has become too big, too important a business tool to be allowed to fail? What would you or your business do if Facebook were to crash? We’re keen to hear your answer – let us know via our ‘start a conversation’ facility on our website.

We can help you determine the most suitable content and platform for engaging customers with your brand.

A solution could be to merge the duplicate Facebook Pages. But how do you do this? Please take note that these instructions can and will change as Facebook continues to roll out more features. Before you start with your duplicate Facebook Pages Merge Confirm that you are a Facebook ADMIN on both pages. Edit your pages to ensure that the company names on both Facebook pages match. Do they share the same addresses or category? At this stage, I would usually recommend that you edit the page that you do not want to keep. But remember, Facebook limits the number of times you change a business name and this process usually has to go through a Facebook approval step. Some examples when considering the setup above - Cathy's Local Hotel.  Good merges would be Cathy's Local Hotel to Cathy's Local Hotel.  A bad merge would be Cathy's local Hotel to Hotel. Step 1 of your Facebook Page Merge Click on the admin settings tab of either of the two Facebook pages you want to merge. Under the “general” feature, there will be a menu item at the bottom called “Merge Pages.” Expand this section and then click on the “Merge duplicate Pages” link. You will then be prompted via a pop-up box asking for your Facebook password. Step 2 of your Duplicate Facebook Page Merge Note:  When your Pages are merged, the people who like your Pages and any check-ins will be combined, but posts, photos, reviews, ratings and the username will be deleted from the Page you merge. The Facebook Page you want to keep will remain unchanged, except for the addition of people who like the Page and check-ins that were merged from the other Page. The Page you don't want to keep will be removed from Facebook, and you will not be able to unmerge it.  You will be now directed to a new page where you will be asked to choose the two pages you want to merge together. The drop down menu will list all the Facebook business pages you manage. Please be sure to order the pages as follows. In the top box,  choose the page you want to keep. In the bottom box, choose the page you want to merge. Click ‘Merge Pages’ and a pop-up window will appear if it was successful. Your page will be permanently removed from Facebook and you won’t be able to unmerge it. Facebook Tip:  Merge a page with "less" likes and activity into a page with "more" likes and activity. Step 3 of your Facebook Page Merge In most cases, the above steps complete the merging process and the duplicate page will no longer exist, while the main page will now include the likes and check-ins from the duplicate page. This process tends to be quick, and you will immediately no longer be able to access the page you merged. (It can, however, take a few hours for the likes/check-ins to appear on your remaining page). However, if you are unsuccessful in merging the pages, a pop-up window will notify you, with a message that may look like follows. Our review of the name change may take up to 3 days and require additional information. If the name change is approved, you may have to wait 7 days while we let the people who like that Page know that the name's been updated. During this time, you will not be able to unpublish or change the name of either Page. If further support is needed. Facebook recently added a ‘Page Support’ tab. This can be found under your main page’s admin Settings. You’ll see a history of your support requests (including your merge requests) and the status of those requests. Or use this link to find additional support. Or you could just give us a Call and we will assist you all your digital needs. ### How to avoid common LinkedIn Profile Picture mistakes: Let’s face it; this is the age of internet. Your social media profile can give people a better review of you as a professional than your resume does. Today personal branding has become as essential to career development as water is to the tree. LinkedIn, as you might already know, is a professional networking platform. Millions of businesses use it for recruitment, building business-related contacts and raising brand awareness. It is one of those Social Media platforms where the phrase “looks matter” comes to life. So if you want to be taken seriously on LinkedIn, you must put up a professional looking LinkedIn profile picture that speaks to your credibility. Here are a few things you need to avoid whilst choosing the perfect LinkedIn profile picture: No Family Photos: Trust us; you don’t want to put up your pets' or even your kids’ picture as your LinkedIn profile picture. Sure, it shows your love for them but it definitely does not do you, as your personal brand, any favors. They may look cute on your desk at work but they don’t make a good professional profile picture. Also, don’t leave your profile picture as default. If you are no ready show yourself to the world, then people will not able to trust you. Remove all Party Photos from LinkedIn Profile Picture: If you have a picture of yourself at a party or in a bar as your LinkedIn profile picture, take it down! It hurts the credibility of your profile more than the picture of your loved ones or your friends does. You need to come across as reliable though you LinkedIn profile picture. Dress to Impress: If you are taking a picture especially for your LinkedIn profile, then remember to keep it formal. Refrain from anything that you will not wear to an interview or a business meeting. Avoid wearing a tank top, bathing suit or evening wear. No Pixelated or Poorly Cropped LinkedIn Profile Pictures: Let’s get one thing straight, a grainy picture is kind of annoying and just looks bad. This usually is the result of a poorly lit environment when you take a picture. It can also happen if you crop a picture way too much. You need a LinkedIn profile picture that is clear and presentable. Make sure your LinkedIn profile picture is not out of focused, blurry or too much cropped. Don’t Try Too Hard: You don't need a model-like picture to draw people’s attention to your profile. It’s a professional social platform, not an online dating website. Remember, all you need is confidence and a smile on your face to look professional. You only get one picture on LinkedIn to show people who you are as a professional, make it count. Kiss the Fancy Filters Goodbye: Avoid all kinds of funky filters as they look too unprofessional. Such pictures look good only on your personal Instagram or Facebook profile. You need to look honest, presentable and approachable. As long as your picture is well lit, even a simple head shot would do the trick. So here you go. We hope we have covered all the tips you need to take a professional looking LinkedIn profile picture. Now go ahead and take down that photo of yourself surfing at the beach. Pick a neutral colored button-down shirt, put a smile on your face and…..Click!

Furthermore, in order to capture the desired awareness and recognition that will ultimately build trust and loyalty among target audiences, brands need to ensure they weave a consistent message and customer experience across all of their digital marketing efforts. In other words, laying the foundation for success online starts by creating an integrated digital marketing strategy. Auckland integrated digital marketing service The first step in creating an integrated digital marketing strategy that works is to understand which digital channels will deliver the greatest impact for your specific audience. This is where your digital marketing specialists at Auckland digital marketing agency Net Branding can help. As part of our integrated digital marketing service we will: Work with you to fully understand your target audience and identify the most effective digital channels for reaching them. Map out what types of digital content will work best for engaging with your audience. Develop an integrated digital marketing strategy that includes the creation and amplification of effective content for use across selected digital channels. 5 key components of an integrated digital marketing strategy So, just how do you set about creating an integrated digital marketing strategy that will lead to online success? We’ve put together a quick snapshot of 5 key components to put you on the right track. 1 Content marketing As the world moves more and more online, content is the glue that binds together all of your online marketing efforts. Without content, there can be no integrated digital marketing strategy. However, not just any old content will do; content has to be customer-centric content – in other words, content that attracts and retains the customer, because it is ‘consumable’ or useful, and is refreshed on a regular basis. Once you’ve created your content, the next critical piece is deciding on the format in which to deliver it and the digital marketing vehicles to use, such as email, social media posts, blogs and website pages. 2 Responsive website design Your business website is the cornerstone of your online presence and, as such, should lie at the heart of your brand’s digital experience. The pages of your website are still the primary way for customers to make contact with your brand, find out about your products and services, and provide the information about themselves that you need to be able to do business with them. Therefore, all of your other digital tactics and channels, e.g. email, blogs and social media posts, should be geared toward driving potential customers to your website. Also, given the fact that your website acts like the main door to your business, its design – that is, the usability, navigability and accessibility of your website – will ultimately determine who walks through that digital door to become your customer. 3 Search engine optimization Search engine optimization or SEO helps the all-powerful search engines determine what your specific web pages are all about and whether or not they’re useful to the searcher. Therefore, SEO is crucial for the success of your integrated digital marketing strategy, because it’s your SEO that will make your brand’s online presence accessible to a search engine and, ultimately, the people who use it to search for the products and services that your business offers. SEO is determined largely by the all-important content on your web pages, and the user’s experience of your website. So, once again, it’s important to make sure you offer quality content – in other words, content that will solve a problem or that is informative and/or entertaining, rather than simply just about selling products and services. 4 Social media marketing More and more consumers are using social media to search for products and services. So, it’s in your best interest to have an engaging presence on social media that will not only connect directly with your target audience but also engage them. With social media, it’s important to diversify your content in accordance with the unique capacities of each social network. And never forget to be ‘social’, by asking questions, taking feedback, commenting on what others are doing and learning from them. Remember, the key to social media marketing is creating content that is worth sharing – think of your social media content in terms of ‘word-of-mouth’ for the digital age – because the ultimate goal is still to generate digital traffic back to your website. 5 Analytics Before you even begin to implement any aspect of your integrated digital marketing strategy, it’s important to remember to set up the necessary metrics to be able to measure their effectiveness. After all, if you want to track the efficiency of your digital marketing activities then you need to determine what’s working and what’s not. Analytics enable you to see who’s engaging with your brand digitally, where and why, which will enable you to inform your digital marketing strategy in real time.

If the visitor to your website does not feel connected to what you are offering, they will click the back button and be off somewhere else. Instead of your competitors being your greatest enemy, it could be your own website that is driving potential clients away. In today’s fast-paced digital world, there’s no tomorrow for developing a website for your business to attract your clients – it’s now or never! Converting visitors into customers In the case of most small businesses or sole traders, the people who become your customers will have visited your website first. It will have been at that point that they will have chosen you because your website resonated with them in some way. In digital marketing terms, this is called the ‘conversion’ – turning people who visit your website into your customers. The trick with any website is including as many ‘conversion factors’ as possible so you can turn visitors into paying customers. So, if you want a high conversion rate, you will need to develop a client-attracting website. What makes a client-attracting website? What attracts ideal customers like crazy to a website while another sits like a billboard in the desert? Is it things like great colours, font type or graphics? Do you need to include video or have a great copy? Yes, of course – these are all important, but you should think of them more as the icing on the cake rather than the cake itself. If the ‘cake’ or the content of the website itself is not relevant to your visitors, then no amount of icing will get them to become paying customers. So, while having an attractive website can definitely help attract customers, it’s not the first thing you should focus on. Before you get around to any of the ‘icing’ work, make sure that your content provides visitors to your website with very clear answers to these three questions: What’s in it for me? Why should I listen to you? What should I do next? How to develop a website that is attractive When someone arrives on your website, what do you do to get them to stay and become your customer? Your content should always add value to the customer. When you develop your customer persona, you should have a clear idea of the challenges or problems that your target customers are facing and how your business can help them solve these. When you understand what your customers are looking for you will be able to tailor your content to answer their three most important questions – here they are again: What’s in it for me? Why should I listen to you? What should I do next? Fortunately, there are a number of simple things you can do today that will transform your website into a client-attracting tool and greatly increase the likelihood of converting visitors into paying customers. Download our eBook - 10 Steps Must-Have Website Checklist Do these 4 things to your website and you will attract more customers 1. Make your call-out to the market absolutely clear When your perfect customer arrives on your website, they need to understand at a glance that they have come to the right place. People want to work with someone who really understands them. So, if you can describe your ideal customer’s problem better than they can – as in the problem that you’re going to be able to solve for them – then you’ll have a winner on your hands. Make sure your headline captivates them immediately by clearly communicating what it is you offer and what’s in it for them. In other words, it should clearly identify the following: Who this is for The problem that is being solved The result they will get from going with your product/service 2. Explain why customers should listen to / deal with you This is all about establishing your credibility. People buy from people they know, like and trust – so it’s vital you do this correctly. People value expertise and will always go with a specialist rather than a generalist. Do you introduce yourself as a specialist and explain succinctly what makes you an expert? Include testimonials or ‘social proof’ – people like to work with experts and businesses with success stories and happy customers – that provide specific results your ideal customers got from you. Customer testimonials are a way to establish a trust level that helps the visitor to your website with their decision-making process. 3. Give away something valuable People love free stuff. So, perhaps you can offer a valuable giveaway – it could be a free consultation, free ebook or report, or a special discount. Make it something that they can claim straight away, and make it obvious and easy for them to do. 4. Have a very visible and clear call to action The key to success is to ask website visitors to take one very specific action – that’s your call to action for them. Your call to action should be very visible on your home page – and it definitely needs to appear ‘above the fold’; in other words, it needs to be seen without having to scroll down. The one action that you want people to take needs to be very specific and come with simple instructions – don’t be confusing. For example, for your landing page, your call to action will probably be a web form to sign up for your free offer – you want visitors to your website to fill that out so you can follow up with them later; on your ‘services’ page, on the other hand, your call to action could be instructions to call or email you to find out how they can work with you. When your website clearly answers the question “What’s in it for me?”, explains why people should come to you to solve their particular problem, gives them something valuable and has a clear call to action, then you’ll be well on your way to attracting more customers. Next steps Of course, even a client-attracting website won’t do all that much good if people don’t know it exists, to begin with. Your website is only one part of your overall digital marketing strategy aimed at attracting potential customers, offering them the service or product they desperately want, generating leads, and ultimately converting them into paying customers. So, in addition to developing your business website into a client-attracting tool, your digital marketing strategy will need to include social media and other digital marketing tactics aimed at directing targeted traffic (the type of customers you want) to your website. If you’re struggling to develop a client-attracting website or you need help creating content that speaks directly to your ideal customer base or you want support to maximise your digital marketing efforts, then simply contact the team at Net Branding today. Our Auckland based team has helped numerous companies to effectively harness the full range of digital marketing tactics and grow their business. Remember, in today’s fast-paced business world, there’s no tomorrow for developing a digital strategy that includes a client-attracting website – it’s now or never!

That’s why Google is the world’s largest search engine and such a powerhouse of our modern online world. But what about using Google advertising to expand your business? This is where Google AdWords could be a great tool to include in your online advertising strategy. Have you seen the adverts that appear on the top or side of your screen when you’re on Google? Well, that’s Google AdWords – Google’s own paid advertising service. Google AdWords – some basic principles In a nutshell, with Google AdWords, you pay Google to highlight your advert when people are searching on Google using keywords that are relevant to your advert. Basically, you pick keywords that you think a searcher might use on Google, then create an advert that will appear on the search engine results page based on those keywords. Then, every time a searcher clicks on your advert, you pay a certain amount to Google – this is known as pay-per-click (PPC) advertising. There are 4 main components to a Google AdWords advert, namely: The headline (with a maximum of 25 characters) is the most important part of the advert because it’s the first thing a searcher will read. Include your keyword(s) in the headline to ensure your advert is completely relevant to the searcher. A great strategy is to ask a question in the headline, for example, if your keywords are “Auckland rental property” then a compelling headline would be “Need an Auckland rental property?”. With only a maximum of 25 characters allowed for the headline, you need to make every letter count. The description lines 1 and 2 (with a maximum of 35 characters each) is where you need to highlight the benefits of your product or service – in other words, this is where your unique selling proposition comes into play and where you place your call to action for the searcher. The display URL (with a maximum of 35 characters) does not simply copy your domain name; rather, make sure your display URL includes your offer or unique selling proposition as another way to help make your advert stand out, e.g. www.domain.co.nz/Auckland_Rentals With millions of people on Google all the time, using Google AdWords probably sounds like a great opportunity to expand your business. However, given the fact you have to pay Google every time a searcher clicks on your advert, irrespective of whether it results in a sale or not, if you don’t do it right, it could end up costing you a bundle. Is a Google AdWords campaign right for your business? So, before you even think about investing in an online advertising campaign using Google AdWords, do some research about your audience and how best to reach them. Just because Google is the world’s largest search engine doesn’t automatically mean that it’s the most effective way to reach your specific audience. After all, if your specific customers are not searching for your product or service via Google, then using AdWords to advertise to them is not going to work. You can use the Google AdWords Keyword Suggestion Tool to tell you how often people search the phrases you might want to use in your Google AdWords campaign, how competitive these keywords are, and how much each keyword will cost you. When trying to determine whether you want to include Google AdWords in your digital strategy, ask yourself if your keyword(s) is searched in Google, if the people searching on your keyword(s) are likely to buy your product or service (or are they just inquisitive browsers), and whether you can afford to advertise using your keyword(s). Do you have a compelling proposition for your Google AdWords campaign? Your Google ads have two crucial jobs to do, namely, to attract searchers to click on your advert instead of those of your competitors and to repel any searchers who are not interested in your product or service – after all, you don’t want people clicking simply out of curiosity and wasting your ad budget. OK, so you’re sure you can reach your target market via Google AdWords, but how can you ensure the offer in your Google AdWords campaign is so compelling that a searcher simply has to take action? You can make searches an irresistible offer by giving them something that: Is valuable – define the value that your product or service offers in such a way that the prospective customer sees that what they will be getting clearly outweighs the price tag. Is believable – people are wary of being ripped off online, so you will need to provide a credible reason for your special offer, e.g. you’re having an end-of-season sale, you’re celebrating an anniversary or you’re starting a new service. Reduces their risk – as mentioned, people are wary of being ripped off, so you need to offer them a guarantee of some sort that removes the risk from them and puts it on you, by offering them something like a money back guarantee for example. Has a clearly defined call to action – make it very easy for searchers to do what you want them to do. Having compelling Google ads will ultimately drive more traffic to your website and result in more sales, which all lead to higher profits for you. Compelling ads also mean higher click-through rates, which will boost your Google AdWords quality score. How to boost your Google AdWords quality score? With online advertising growing in leaps and bounds, and users being bombarded with ever-increasing amounts of information, search engines, including Google, are becoming more and more focused on the quality of the content they make available to users. So, in the case of Google AdWords, Google not only considers how much you pay per click for your advert, but it also looks at how relevant and useful your advert is to the searcher, the search terms they’ve used, how many clicks your advert receives (the click-through rate), and how relevant the landing page is to the searcher who has clicked on your advert. The latter is very, very important. Not directing searchers to an appropriate product or service page is possibly one of the biggest mistakes people make with Google AdWords. Make sure that when someone clicks on your advert that they land on a page on your website that directly matches the advert they clicked on, rather than taking them to your homepage and expecting them to navigate to your special offer from there. So, create a dedicated landing page on your website that matches the same headline as in your advert, reiterates both the offer you’ve made and the benefits of your product or service, reinforces the credibility of your offer and includes a strong and easily executable call to action. Google AdWords and more When setting up and managed properly, a Google AdWords campaign can be one of the best sources for new prospects and a very effective way for driving traffic to your website. However, Google AdWords is not the only tool for ensuring a successful online presence for your business. This is one of the reasons why the team at Net Branding takes a holistic approach to helping you develop a digital strategy that’s tailored to the specific needs of your business.

However, at some point or other, we’ve all found ourselves poised over the engine’s search window at a loss for the right words to describe exactly what we’re looking for. No doubt, we’ve also all heard of or used the expression, “I’ll know it when I see it”, haven’t we? That’s because we often don’t really know what we’re looking for until we see it – so, putting something into the right words in order to search for it can be really tricky, and sometimes nearly impossible. This is precisely why Pinterest is so appealing to so many people – more than 150 million users in fact. When words fail, there’s always visual search Pinterest is almost synonymous with visual search, which pretty much sets it apart from other social media networks. In fact, Pinterest has always seen itself more as a search and discovery service than a social network, having geared itself toward getting people to come in and ‘wander around’ to see ideas and products. And with around 100 billion ideas, items, recipes and more pinned on one billion boards, there’s a huge amount of stuff waiting to be found. That in itself presents marketers with a massive opportunity, hence the many “buyable Pins” that enable users to buy directly on Pinterest. However, the world of social media never stands still for a moment, and Pinterest is no exception. It has continued to add a number of tools to better enable users to find what they’re looking for. Tools that enable what Pinterest calls "visual discovery”, which enable users to search for ideas without having to type in text enquiries, thereby giving people a way to get results even when they can’t find exactly the right words to describe what they’re looking for. Already, visual search has become one of Pinterest’s most-used features, with hundreds of millions of visual searches every month, and billions of items found. Using images to unlock huge potential in online shopping Now, Pinterest has taken their visual discovery features even further by introducing three new ones that will probably see users curling their toes in excitement – and with equally huge implications for marketers, enabling them to engage with users at so many more points in their browsing window. The three new Pinterest visual search features introduced are known as “Lens”, “Instant Ideas” and “Shop the Look” – all of which are aimed at making it easier for users to find great ideas and products to buy from within the things they see in images as well as around them in real life, and all without having to put what they’re looking for into words. These latest updates will make Pinterest even more desirable for online shoppers, which is something every business should take note of! The three new Pinterest visual search features pick out specific elements in pictures, irrespective of whether they are viewed live through a phone’s camera or through a typical image search, and use them as points for search. Here’s what they’re about: With Lens: Users will be able to open their phone camera, point it at any item in the real world, and Pinterest will identify it, pick apart the objects in the image and use the social network to not only find similar items but also give ideas as to what to do with them. For example, pointing Lens at a stunning blouse or shirt will surface related styles as well as ideas for what else to wear with them. This is literally artificial intelligence in action in the hands of everyday users, as Lens goes beyond merely finding visual similarity and tries to understand what it is you’re looking at and how the items could be useful to you. With Instant Ideas, a new button in Pinterest’s home feed, users will be able to quickly find related items – even something as simple as a handle on a kitchen drawer, a doorknob or a beef dish. If you see something you like in an image on Pinterest, you would simply tap a circle that appears around each item in each Pin to unlock related ideas, such as similar handle and knob ideas, or more beef recipes. With Shop the Look, a new button on home and fashion Pins, users can shop for products they see inside Pins. Clicking on individual items in an image will enable you to buy them or, if those specific items aren’t for sale, see similar items that are for sale throughout the Pinterest network. In this way, Pins are advancing from the previously single-item-only buyable Pins to being able to advertise and offer multiple items for sale in the same Pin. That’s a great way for a business to advertise something specific while at the same time building awareness and even generating sales of their other products. According to Pinterest CEO Ben Silbermann, these “three new products make anything in the world an entry point to the 100 billion ideas on Pinterest. Together they create a whole new discovery experience that’s unlike anything that’s out there today. You can get ideas whether you’re opening the app or walking through town. The more people that use it, the better the results become, the more we can recommend inspiring ideas.” While this is all mind-blowing stuff on its own, just think of the potential for business! Social media and your business – are you keeping up? As of writing this, Instant Ideas and Shop the Look are already available in the Pinterest app, while Lens is in beta, but will be rolled out soon. That said, however, these latest features, which will make Pinterest very desirable for online shoppers, are just some of the ways in which social media networks overall are taking huge strides in technology to steadily close the gap between enabling users to discover a product and actually buy it. All of which, of course, presents an absolute gold mine of opportunity for marketers and businesses everywhere. The question we should all be asking ourselves is whether we are taking advantage of the available opportunities. Of course, visual search is not something that is unique to Pinterest. After all, Google has invested heavily in visual search – it simply hasn’t (yet) focused on it to the same extent that Pinterest has for potential advertisers. Then there’s Snap, which is also lurking in the wings and will probably be coming out swinging sometime soon. And, of course, there’s always Facebook, the mainstay of marketers. In other words, if you’re in business there are lots of potential avenues for taking advantage of the technological strides happening in the digital world.

Get In Touch! ### Social media advertising – why you need to give it a go in 2017 No matter what you sell or to whom you sell it, using social media advertising as a marketing tool can help you grow your business. Social media advertising has come a long way in a relatively short period of time – in fact, a decade ago it did not even exist as a market. Fast forward a few years and, according to Marketing Tech Blog, social media advertising is projected to generate $11 billion in revenue by 2017. But first, why is social media important for business? To put it simply, social media is an integral part of doing business in the new millennium. If your business is not represented on various social channels, then your brand doesn’t really exist online. So, if you’re not yet active on any of the social networking sites, then now is definitely the time to start. A wealth of targeting data The various social networks gather an immense amount of information about their users – much more than mere demographic and geographic data. Social networks have information about users’ deeper interests and behaviours, their connections and the groups to which they belong. Therefore, social media advertising enables businesses to target their audiences in much more ways than on any other online platform, by making use of social media users’ own shared information to help them find new potential clients. So, instead of merely being reactive about targeting users who have searched for a certain term, you can use social media advertising to proactively target users before they even begin their search. Most social networks also provide conversion tracking. If you have a bit of technical ability, and you configure your social media adverts correctly, your adverts can actually report on how effective they have been in driving the user to take some or other measurable action, for example, signing up for something or buying your product. Conversion tracking is great for fine-tuning your social media advertising strategy by helping you to optimise your advert’s message and adjust your targeting in real time. Social networks are also great for advertisers because of their prevalence on mobile devices. Mobile dominance and social media advertising According to digital researcher eMarketer, over half of mobile phone users globally will have smartphones by 2018. So, there can be no denying that reaching users via their mobile devices is the way to go – and the best way to do so on a mobile device is via social media advertising. Mobile users are constantly checking their social accounts, so you can reach them with your advertising while they’re in those applications without being disruptive. 7 reasons for adding social media (and social media advertising) to your digital strategy Still not sure whether social media marketing is for you? Still wondering, “Do I really need it?” The short answer is: Yes. Yes, you do! Here are some of the most compelling reasons why: Your competition is on social media There is hardly a business out there these days that isn’t on social media. If your competitors get to your potential customers first, they’ll earn their loyalty and you’ll be hard pushed to win them over. It’s cheap If you manage your own social media, then running a social media campaign is as cheap as chips. If you’re a bit nervous about interacting with people online or you doubt your writing skills, then hiring a digital marketing agency like Net Branding to develop and manage your digital offering is the way to go. If you post poorly written content or convey the wrong sort of message on the social networks it will seriously derail your digital presence. Enables you to sort problems immediately You would want to know straight away if there’s a problem with your product or service, wouldn’t you? The feedback you get through social media will enable you to be the first to know when an issue arises – which means you can take action to resolve it immediately. Customers appreciate and respect businesses that respond properly to complaints. Builds brand loyalty When you’re engaging and interacting on social media, you and your brand are perceived far more personable. Social media and social media advertising are all about building relationships, and good relationships generate loyalty. If you do your social media advertising right, it will lead to real relationship building. People receive your message more favourably The people on the social networks see them as precisely that, social networks – not marketing machines. Therefore, they are less likely to regard your posts as advertisements and be more likely to read what you have to say. (So you need to ensure you’re posting top-quality content that is not overtly ‘salesy’.) This can translate into serious traffic when you link your posts to your website and when your audience starts sharing your posts with their networks. Boosts your website’s SEO Social media is very important for web traffic. The search engines know which pages are consistently getting traffic and which aren’t. Using social media in the right way to drive traffic to your web pages will get the search engines to pay even more attention to your pages. Leads to more sales If you’re constantly in front of your target audience in the social space in which they choose to play, they’re far more likely to buy from you when they need what you’re selling. What’s new with Facebook advertising? Is your business on Facebook? If you’re not, check out one of our previous articles about what having a Facebook page can mean for your business. Facebook ads are a great way to get your message to your audience because the network offers unparalleled targeting and tracking options. Facebook is also constantly evolving and adapting to user demands, and there are some exciting new developments that could help your Facebook advertising run even hotter. Group advertising Recently, Facebook started testing ads in ‘groups’ in several countries, including New Zealand. What’s the significance of this, you ask? Well, according to the business blog TechCrunch, of the 1.7 billion active monthly Facebook users, about 1 billion are in groups – of which around 450 million are in buy-and-sell groups. Now that is a massive opportunity for businesses because groups are active discussion forums and people in them are way more engaged and interested than those who aren’t. Facebook Marketplace As mentioned, 450 million people participate in Facebook buy-and-sell groups. In many of these groups, members sell or auction various products. To help make these interactions easier for its members, Facebook recently announced Marketplace, a new way to buy and sell in one’s local community. It’s very easy to use, including for the seller. Anyone looking for products in your area can see your post and private message you if they’re interested. Leaving audio on for video ads Most Facebook users watch video ads on Facebook with the sound turned off. What this means is that you have to be just that little bit more creative with your video in order to ensure it conveys your message without the need for sound. A good video ad without sound can be quite OK, but it will be even better with sound. However, Facebook is now testing user reaction to automatically leaving the audio on for video ads. Users will still have the option to turn off the sound, but what it means is that anyone who sees your ad will, by default, automatically hear the accompanying audio. There’s no doubt that the huge and ongoing increase in social media advertising will also see Facebook continuing to test and tweak its Facebook advertising options, so stay tuned for more new features that will help you reach your target audience even more effectively.

Reading an interesting article or watching a video that lets you become a part of the conversation? No prizes for guessing the right answer of course, because the video will win every time! However, when it comes to video, not all video is created equal. Did you notice the bit in the question above about “video that lets you become a part of the conversation”? That’s the crucial bit because here we’re talking about live video or live video streaming. After all, there’s nothing more authentic and genuine as live video, and that’s exactly the sort of video that audiences are clamouring for today. Okay, but so what, you ask. Well, in business, the first steps in coming up with a successful digital marketing strategy are finding out what your customers want, and where and how they want to find out about it. In other words, it’s about knowing how to create content about your product or business that will engage them. Today, users of social media and other digital platforms are all about being ‘in the now’ and consuming ‘in-the-moment’ content. This is where a video has a huge impact and can function as an exceptional gateway to drive traffic to more valuable content on your website. With the proliferation of smartphones and other mobile devices, more brands than ever before are making greater use of video content, especially live video streaming, to engage with their customers. Video content is one of the digital marketing trends we predicted would take off in 2017. Does your digital marketing strategy include live video? Today, no business development marketing strategy should be without social media for connecting with potential customers – and the kingpin of social media, namely Facebook, should be one of the key tools in your digital strategy game. So, if you are not taking advantage of Facebook marketing for your business – and Facebook Live Video Streaming in particular – it’s probably time you did. Live streaming is an awesome way for businesses to use the power of live video to communicate their brand stories and build authentic relationships with fans and followers (a.k.a. potential customers), creating connections with them that far transcends traditional marketing limitations. You can read more about the value of Facebook Live Video Streaming for your business in one of our earlier blogs. Facebook Live and the News Feed Algorithm Over the last year, Facebook has been gradually making Facebook Live available to its more than one billion daily active users. First, it began allowing celebrities to share live videos. Later, it included journalists, verified accounts and other beta users, before opening it up to all iPhone users and then Android users too. Facebook has found that people spend three times more time watching a Facebook Live video on average compared with a video that’s no longer live. This is because videos are more interesting in the moment than after the fact. As a result, Facebook has been and is continuing to tweak its News Feed Algorithm to give greater ranking in News Feed to live video over a video that is not live. Now, when it comes to your social media (and Facebook) marketing strategy, it’s all about boosting the organic reach of your business page to ensure your content gets seen by as many people as possible. How the Facebook News Feed Algorithm works, therefore, has implications for the organic reach of your page. That’s why it’s worth becoming familiar with the main levers in the Facebook Algorithm so you know how to craft your content to ensure it can continue to be seen by as many people as possible. Compelling video ranks higher in News Feed Facebook pays constant attention to the various signals about what its users want and with what they want to engage. As a result, Facebook first updated News Feed rankings to take into account how many people watched a video and how long people watched it for. They used the date to help them personalise News Feed based on people’s preference for watching a video. Over time they also learnt that certain actions people take on a video, such as choosing to turn on sound or making the video full screen, are good indications that they wanted to watch that video, even if they didn’t choose to ‘like’ it. Then, as they saw more and more people preferring to watch Live videos, Facebook made further changes to the Algorithm so that Facebook Live videos were more likely to appear higher in News Feed when those videos are actually live, compared with after they are no longer live. More recently, Facebook has made further changes to the way they rank videos in News Feed by adjusting the value they give to how much of a video is watched. Here they look at the “percent completion” – in other words, the percent of each video that users watch. If users watch most or all of a video, that tells Facebook that users found the video to be compelling. Of course, completing a longer video requires a bigger commitment from a user than completing a shorter one, so Facebook has realised that it needs to weight percent completion more heavily the longer a video is, in order to avoid penalising longer videos. So, longer videos that people are willing to spend time watching may see a slight increase in distribution on Facebook – and some videos, even if they are shorter, may see a slight dip in News Feed distribution if people have not been willing to watch them to completion. Create videos that are relevant and engaging Which brings us to our old adage of “content is always king” or rather "quality content is always king". The message coming from these latest tweaks to the Facebook Algorithm as far as a live video featuring in News Feed is that any business choosing to incorporate live video into social media in its digital strategy MUST focus on creating videos that are relevant and engaging for their audience. So, when creating video content, remember this important point: the best length for a video is whatever length is required to tell a compelling story that engages people, which is likely to vary depending on the story you’re telling.

Did you know that New Year's resolutions are not like ordinary goals? That’s because they have a more powerful effect on our psyche than we might realise. The reason for this is that the end of one year and the start of another creates a feeling of being able to begin again and offers us another chance to reset our actions to be able to achieve our goals. However, New Year’s resolutions are not just about personal goals – setting goals for the business year ahead is just as important. And it’s equally important to keep checking in on our goals to make sure that we’re sticking to them, as well as to ascertain whether they need any adjustments so we can stay on track for achieving them. If you’re in business, then one of the goals in your online marketing strategy for the year ahead is most likely to be to generate quality leads for your business. And what better online audience is there for your particular business than the people who are already using the various search engines to look for your product(s) or service? This is where SEO (search engine optimisation) comes in. SEO helps you use the power of the search engines to drive search traffic to your website, and ultimately drive up your conversion rate. However, in today’s rapidly changing world, SEO is not something you set and forget. In their effort to ensure that their users always get the most relevant results possible for their searches, the search engines are constantly adjusting their search algorithms. The fact these algorithms are constantly evolving means you also need to keep up with what the algorithms are focusing on. So, here are our 9 SEO tips for 2017 to help you get the most out of your SEO game this year and improve traffic to your website. 1. Speed up your website No-one is interested in visiting a website that takes forever to load – and the search engines keep that in mind. As far back as 2010 already, Google announced that it would be using site speed as a ranking factor, so it’s no secret that speed matters. Research has repeatedly shown that if your website takes more than 2 or 3 seconds to load, people will leave it – and the search engines will know! So, it’s very important to ensure your website loads quickly. If not, do something about it straight away by getting rid of elements that affect the speed of your site. For example, if you’re using WordPress, then get rid of any plugins that you’re not using. You can also use tools like Google’s PageSpeed Insights to find out what’s causing your page(s) to load slowly and what you can do to fix it. 2. Optimise for mobile The mobile market is big; too big to ignore. If you haven’t paid attention to the mobile responsiveness of your website and increased the site’s loading speed on mobile devices, then you’re now skating on thin ice. Not doing so as little as two or three years ago was not a big issue but, as we said, things change quickly in the digital world, including SEO. Google has made it crystal clear that there is no longer any room for websites that aren’t optimised for mobile. So, not only will a faster loading site mean more chances to retain visitors, but being optimised for mobile is now a very big ranking signal for the search engines. 3. Implement AMP AMP or the Accelerated Mobile Pages project is a Google initiative to build a more user-friendly mobile Web by using simpler, lighter versions of HTML and CSS to create super-quick web pages for mobile users. So, not only does AMP help address optimisation for mobile but it also solves the speed problem too. 4. Offer fresh and captivating content In our ever-changing digital world, having high-quality, value-adding content is likely to remain the only constant. In fact, linkable, shareable content still rules the list of Google’s ranking factors. The first step to creating quality content is really knowing your audience and what they want, so that what you create ‘clicks’ with them. Content that provides value will always click with your audience. By ‘value’ we’re not talking about giveaways or freebies; it’s about asking, “What does my audience want?” and the answer may include anything from information and entertainment to products and services and more. So, it’s crucial you ensure your content is informative, original and relevant to your audience – that’s the only way you’ll be able to get them to stick around on your site. If you fulfil their needs, they’ll be far more open to converting into paying customers. Don’t think you can simply saturate your content with specific keywords in order to manipulate the search engines. They’re actually smarter than that and they are very likely to respond by indexing your site for spamming. Besides, no audience is going to stick around trying to read content that’s jammed with ‘keywords’ – it’s annoying. 5. Create engaging pages Well-structured, visually appealing web pages can help you generate leads and sales, as well as improve the search engine ranking of your website. Headings also play an important role in organising information. Content with standout headings that capture the attention of your audience will immediately draw them in for more. However, it’s not only the nature of your headings that count – the formatting is also important, because if it makes ‘sense’ to the eye then the brain will follow suit. And the same applies for the search engine bots. For example, optimise your headings and sub-headings by using only one H1 tag (for the title) as this increases its significance for both readers and search bots. Then you can use a number of H2 to H4 subheading tags to make the rest of the content look well-ordered and professional. 6. Blog Blogging is one of the best content marketing tactics and a great way to optimise your content for the search engines. The more (useful) content you create via your blog, the more pages you’re generating for the search engines to index. Just remember, blogging is not primarily about selling your products or services – it’s about providing your audience with content of value (information, entertainment, things they didn’t know but need to know about your niche market) that gets them to engage with you, and the more they engage, the more likely they will link and share your content. 7. Optimise visual content Visual content, especially video, is becoming increasingly important – it is a great supplement to text and can even replace it – and it definitely affects SEO. You can optimise visual content for the search engines and boost their SEO performance by doing things like: Creating titles that resonate and convey meaning Adding metadata and keywords Paying attention to the file’s size (the smaller the file the faster it will load) Creating a video transcript – this will help get your content to feature in the search engines Hosting your videos on your own site, not just YouTube 8. Continue to also focus on YouTube SEO Did you know that around 55% of all keyword searches on Google return at least one video and that more than 80% of those videos are from YouTube? It all makes sense of course once you realise that YouTube is the world’s second most popular search engine, with more than 3 billion searches per month. Although we said earlier to look at hosting a video on your own side rather than only on YouTube, that was not to say to ignore YouTube – that would be a mistake. So, given the stats above, also focusing on YouTube SEO will help to rank your website on Google as well as get you traffic from YouTube. A double whammy. 9. Integrate web analytics A critical part of SEO is reporting and analytics. You cannot improve and fine-tune your digital marketing strategy or your website without understanding how the site is performing or how visitors are engaging with it. To understand your customers’ journey, you need to know things like what content really appealed to them; what parts of your website resulted in a bad user experience; which page(s) were the least or most visited, and why; where did they stop scrolling through your content and leave. Fortunately, there are plenty of reliable tools available, like Google Analytics, to help you keep track of your site’s performance and give you insights for improving its performance. Support with constantly changing SEO Ultimately, however, you cannot escape the fact that SEO changes rapidly from year to year – even from month to month is some cases. So, as business owners and marketers, it’s vital that you are able to adapt quickly or have the support of someone that can help you do so. That said, however, nothing really beats common-sense stuff like ensuring you have useful, value-adding content on your website, you offer an engaging layout, and you engage with the actual needs of your audience. However, if this all seems a bit overwhelming, don’t worry – help is very close at hand.

Get In Touch! ### Creating a business blog – why it’s good for your online presence and how to do it You may have heard how important it is to create a business blog for the success of your marketing. Yes? Ah, but blogging is only for the big guys, you say. Not so! In many ways, when it comes to marketing your business, blogging is one of the best tactics for levelling the playing field with the big brands, because it gives small businesses an almost unprecedented opportunity to stand out and be noticed, and compete with the big guys. In today’s digital world, it’s extremely important to maintain an active presence on social media. However, without access to unique, high-quality content, it’s difficult to do so. Success on social media is all about being ‘social’ and little, if anything, can hold a candle to a good blog post when it comes to showing the personal, social side of your business, and engaging with a social audience. Having a blog gives you a way to touch on issues and concerns of interest to your prospects, while also sharing what you and your brand are passionate about. It’s one of the best ways to send a very clear message that your business is alive and well, raising your profile and establishing yourself or your brand as someone who is knowledgeable, perhaps even expert, in your industry. Writing a business blog is like going fishing – for leads Think of blogging as if you’re out fishing – the more hooks you have in the water, the more likely you are to catch a fish. Each blog you post is like putting another hook in the water. When others begin to see your blogs as a valuable resource, they will link to them and you will begin to accumulate inbound links, which is one of the most important factors in search engine optimisation (SEO tips). In other words, the more high-quality blog posts you can share on social media, the more you’ll grow the search traffic to your business website, develop a following, build trust and, ultimately, increase conversion rates and sales. On the other hand, without a quality blog, your SEO will tank, you'll have nothing to promote in social media, you won’t be able to build a relationships with prospects and customers, and you'll have fewer pages on which to publish your calls-to-action that are ultimately aimed at generating inbound leads and sales. Your 5-step formula for writing a business blog OK, so you know you need to start blogging to grow your business, but you don’t feel you’re accomplished at writing compelling, engaging content that your audience wants. Not a problem – practice makes perfect, remember. Just give it a go and soon you’ll become quite adept at it. Here are some basic principles of writing great blog content that you might want to keep in mind. 1. Understand your audience: Before you write about anything, you need to have a clear understanding of your target audience. What do they want to know about? What will resonate with them? To come up with a topic for your blog post think about what you know about your customers and potential customers. Avoid blogging about generic stuff in your industry – focus instead on the stuff your audience really wants and needs to hear about. 2. Come up with a topic and working title, and create an outline: Before you even write anything, you need to pick a topic for your blog post. The topic can be pretty general to start with. For example, if you're a radiator repair specialist, you might want to talk about a vehicle’s radiator. That’s a topic. But what specifically might people want or need to know about their vehicle radiators? Maybe you could write about how radiators keep the engine cool or why they can cause a vehicle to overheat or how to get a vehicle with an overheating engine safely to a radiator repair specialist. That’s a working title. Settling on a topic and a working title helps to guide your thoughts so you can focus your blog on a specific aspect rather than a generic, too-wide topic. Having a topic and working title will also help you to draft a brief outline of how you intend to unlock the topic. You create an outline by writing down what points you plan to cover, the best order in which to do it, and some bare-bones details of what you’ll discuss under each point. 3. Organise your content: Don’t overwhelm your reader (and yourself) with information. The trick is to organise the content so that your reader isn’t intimidated by the length or amount of information. Having the outline of your blog post that we mentioned above will help you to organise your content into sections, bullet points or whatever format is appropriate for the type of information. 4. Write your blog: The next step is to write the actual content. Think of it as filling in the blanks of your outline and expanding on the points. Here are 7 tips on how to tighten up your writing so that it packs a punch and keeps your audience reading. Come up with an attention-gripping introduction: If you don’t hook your audience in the first paragraph or two, they will stop reading and leave. You can do this in various ways – start with an appropriate joke, recount a short story, highlight an interesting fact or statistic. Then describe the purpose of your blog post and explain how it will help your reader solve a problem they’re having or could have in future. This will cover off the all-important “What’s in it for me” aspect of any good blog, giving them a connection to what you’re writing and providing them with the reason to keep reading. Keep sentences and paragraphs short: Nothing will frustrate a reader more than huge walls of text. Keep sentences as short as possible. They’re easier to read, making your audience’s job easier. Also, keep paragraphs short and sweet. Try to keep individual ideas isolated to their own little paragraph. Avoid repetition: Few things are more jarring to read than the repetition of certain words or phrases. Once you’re done with the first draft of your blog post, read through it and check for words that can be replaced to avoid repeating yourself. Make every word and sentence count: Attention spans are shrinking by the day, so you have to work to hold your readers’ attention from the beginning until the end of your post. To do that, every word, phrase, sentence, and even punctuation mark must add something of value (for the reader) to what you’re saying. Check topic flow: A handy trick is to read your draft out loud. If it feels like you’re explaining things too slowly you’ll need to edit out the extraneous bits. Or, if a piece reads awkwardly out loud, it will probably read awkwardly in your reader’s mind. If you find yourself struggling with the flow of a sentence, rework it until it rolls off your tongue. Ensure your blog is visually appealing: - Use images. In the world of digital media, people often simply don’t have the time or desire to read blog posts without some visual stimulation. Make sure you choose a visually appealing and relevant image for your post as the social networks treat content with images more prominently. Images, diagrams, charts and tables make your blog post more visually appealing by breaking up the text, making it seem less intimidating and helping it flow more effectively. They can be particularly effective if you’re writing about a complex topic, helping your readers to grasp the points you’re trying to make. - Organise and format consistently. It's not just images that make a post visually appealing. The organisation and formatting of the blog also play an important role. In a properly formatted, visually appealing blog post, consistently styled headers and sub-headers break up large blocks of text. Consistent formatting will make your blog more appealing to the eye of your reader and will also make your content, your message, your brand and your business look more professional. Insert a call-to-action: You should conclude your blog with a call to action (CTA) that indicates what you want the reader to do next, e.g. subscribe to your blog, download an ebook, read a related article. Not only is the CTA beneficial for you, by hopefully ultimately resulting in a lead you can nurture into a possible new customer, but the CTA should also prove to be a valuable resource for your reader, by offering them further useful content similar to what they’ve just read. Pick an eye-catching title: Finally, spruce up your working title. Make sure to keep your title clear and accurate – it needs to be catchy while at the same time being informative and setting appropriate expectations. It needs to include enough description of what your blog is about, otherwise, it could be classed as ‘click-bait’ and that’s a no-no on social media. If you can, optimise it for SEO by including some of your topic keywords. Once you’ve got that far, see if you can shorten it so it’s not overwhelming. Bear in mind that Google prefers 65 characters or fewer before it truncates it on its search engine results pages. 5. Edit and proofread your blog The editing process is an important part of writing a successful blog. Asking a grammar-conscious friend or colleague to check your work will help make it as strong as it possibly can be. Ideally, ask someone with editing experience to focus on checking the following questions: • Do your points come across well? • Is there a logical progression to your argument? • Is the piece thought-provoking? • Is the advice you’re offering worth following?

Remember to optimise for mobile With mobile devices now accounting for nearly 2 out of every 3 minutes spent online, having a website that is responsive or designed for mobile is critical. Remember, Google’s algorithm penalises websites that aren't optimised for mobile. So, in addition to making sure that visitors to your website and your blog have the best experience possible, optimising for mobile will also score your website some SEO points.

So, given how prevalent Facebook is in the daily lives of so many people, it makes sense for a business to have a presence there. However, to be successful on Facebook will require more than simply setting up your business page. If you really want to build awareness of your brand, connect with customers and acquire new leads that convert into sales and/or brand promoters, then you will need to put in some effort. You could say Facebook marketing – or any other social media marketing for that matter – is like undertaking a romantic courtship. A real life courtship is all about building a trusted relationship – and that takes time and hard work, and it happens slowly, step by step until you’ve built the relationship that both parties wish to have. Have a Facebook marketing strategy. It’s important to approach Facebook marketing with your bigger picture in mind – in other words, what you want to achieve through your marketing efforts on Facebook. Here we’re talking about having a clearly defined Facebook marketing strategy with some very specific goals. Without having such a deliberate and structured approach, you run the risk of easily losing sight of your goals and bouncing from pillar to post without anything to show for it. Ideally, your Facebook strategy will be an integral part of your overall digital marketing plan, instead of merely being a separate activity with unrelated goals. So, with that in mind, you wouldn’t want to be posting on Facebook merely to chase after a bigger Facebook audience. After all, there has to be a reason for acquiring a bigger audience, not so? And that reason needs to be part of your overall digital marketing plan. For example, your Facebook marketing goals could be to grow and nurture your Facebook audience with the aim of getting them to subscribe to your mailing list, visit your website, try one of your products or services, and so on. Build relationships by offering value A well-developed Facebook marketing strategy – one with various, clearly defined goals – will include posts of many different types with one specific call to action (or CTA) for each; calls to action that clearly show your audience what their next step should be in order to get them to move closer to your goal for them. However, the key in any Facebook marketing strategy is to focus on offering something of value to your audience. It’s about teaching them something useful – something that relates to your specific business or field of expertise – and doing so in a fun or enjoyable way. Here are 4 tried and tested tips for ensuring success with your Facebook marketing Be clear in your message: Before you even start on Facebook, decide precisely what the message is that you want to share with your audience. A clear message is one that grabs their attention so that they know exactly what you’re about and what you want them to do – such as sign up for your newsletter or checks out something on your website, or maybe simply read an informative blog that will give them a useful insight into something of value. Engage with your audience: Every social network is all about encouraging conversations and building relationships and engagement. Conversations and relationships are two-way streets, so be sure to make time to respond to any messages or comments that your audience post. Be personable: It goes without saying that if you want to establish a relationship with anyone, you simply have to be ‘personable’. Instead of your page being a boring, sterile, business-only experience, it’s OK to talk about current issues and to post in the first person. Doing so will give your brand an identity and personality, which is what audiences need in order to be able to connect to. Have some fun revealing your company’s unique personality and tone of voice – doing so will go a long way to establishing a rapport with your audience. Don’t be demanding: Don’t overwhelm your audience with posts – that’s really just spam. Instead, spread them out over three to five times a week – that way when you do post, your audience will tend to view it as more valuable information. Also include posts that are simply intended to be helpful only – in other words, without a call to action. After all, you don’t want to exhaust them with non-stop demands for their attention, time or money. As you establish your audience on Facebook and build up your relationship with them, you can experiment with various ways to move them closer to your goal for them, whatever that might be according to your overall digital marketing plan and marketing strategy for Facebook.

If you own your own business, then connecting with your customers by using Facebook for business promotions and marketing will give you more than thousand million opportunities to get your products and service noticed. That’s a lot! That said, of course, Facebook is not some magic, golden-egg laying goose. Having a Facebook page for your business is a good start to increasing your visibility, building an online audience, and communicating and engaging with them in a way that will hopefully drive traffic to your website and turn leads into new customers. However, in order to successfully leverage the awesome potential of Facebook to the advantage of your business, you’ll need to take some very specific actions to optimise your Facebook presence – and keep on top of them while you’re at it too. So, what can you do to optimise your brand's presence on Facebook? So, here are 6 tips to help you do so. Provide value Ask yourself if the content you are posting will improve people’s lives in some way or other – is your content educating or entertaining? Your content should not simply be about your brand. In fact, if all you do is post content that tries to sell your products or services, or functions as PR for your brand, then your audience will experience this as spam, and they will disengage.Remember, being on social media is all about building relationships that eventually lead to business. So, a good rule to follow is the 70-30 rule: 70 percent of your content should be interesting and helpful to your readers, and only 30 percent should be about promoting your specific products and services. Post regularly when you are using Facebook for business Now you need to provide that value-add consistently and on a regular basis. Posts on Facebook have a short lifespan, so the more regularly you post, the higher the chances they will be seen. We recommend three to five times a week, with some posts containing video content. Keep experimenting with the frequency and mix of your posts and see how your audience responds, and then adjust accordingly. Do what works best for your audience and your industry.Develop a content plan that works in with your overall digital marketing strategy by mapping out when your next sale or promotion will be and how your posts will communicate it. Then use scheduling software (or Facebook’s built-in scheduler that allows you to post content and schedule it for the exact day and time that you want it to go out) to ensure you’re regularly posting content. Involve your audience, engage and interact This is social media, right? That means it’s all about being social – i.e. having conversations, building relationships and interacting with people.So, when people ask you a question, give them a thoughtful reply; when they comment on your posts, respond to them.Post content that lends itself to involving your audience – and ask them to respond with their views and opinions. If you’re not sure what sort of content your audience wants to see, simply ask them – like you would in any other conversation.When you customers post comments on your Facebook page, irrespective of whether they are positive or negative, make sure you respond to them quickly, using their name and showing empathy. Customers want to feel acknowledged and appreciated, and you can use Facebook as a customer service channel to start conversations with your customers and even turn a negative situation into an opportunity. Competitions and Facebook-only specials Another way to involve your audience is through competitions and other special promotions. People love competitions and the chance to win free stuff. If done correctly, competitions on Facebook can drive huge growth in the size of your audience. If you offer your audience discount codes and promotions that are only available to your Facebook followers, you’ll also make them feel very special. Even something as simple as giving them advance notice of an upcoming sale or special offer will make them feel like they’re in a special relationship with you. A picture paints a thousand words We live in an image-driven world – images catch attention, and should be an integral part of your Facebook marketing strategy. When more than 800 million Facebook posts from 2016 were analyzed for overall engagement by content development tool BuzzSumo, it found that questions (like we mentioned in Tip 3 above), images and videos were more engaging than all other post types.So, when posting on Facebook, include photos of your products, especially people using them. If you can, get customers to share their photos of them using your products. After all, there’s no better testimonial than seeing someone enjoying your products or service.Speaking of video, adding this type of content to your content mix is a great way to increase the organic reach of your posts, because people love to share video. However, bear in mind that Facebook’s NewsFeed Algorithm favours ‘native video’, i.e. video that is embedded in your Facebook page as opposed to linking to a video in an outside place like YouTube.What’s more, Facebook has recently added a dedicated video newsfeed in its mobile app and they are predicting that in five years, almost all interactions will be video-based and on mobile.So, why not get ahead of the curve by making video an ongoing feature of your content mix? It could be something as simple as posting a short video (around two minutes in length, but do experiment with what timings work for your specific audience and industry) about your product being made in the factory or, if you’re a personal trainer for example, how you conduct a personal training session, or, if you’re a motor mechanic for example, how you carry out a specific repair. You get the picture, right? Use Facebook InsightsAs a business owner you need to measure the performance of your marketing efforts. This is where Facebook Insights can help. Facebook Insights is an analytics tool that helps you keep track of things like engagement, likes, post shares and comments, giving you lots of information about your followers, the people you’re reaching, and the people who are engaging with your content. This data is crucial not only for understanding your audience but also for measuring the success of your efforts. Need more help?

Establishing your brand and building awareness of it are key steps for setting up your business for the long term. Content marketing is a way to firmly establish your brand among your customers and within your industry as a whole, and will enable you to attract prospective customers too. Of course, if you want people to notice you online, then you have to show up there. That’s just basic common sense isn’t it – after all, to get noticed among the vast sea of online content it stands to reason you’ll need to put out value-adding digital content on a regular basis in order to establish that initial awareness of your brand, and then build and maintain your brand online. Getting started on your digital marketing strategy So, how do you use digital content to build your brand? Well, if you’re just getting started on your content marketing, we suggest you outline a basic strategy of what you want to achieve with any digital content that you create – and then get on with it. Here are 5 tips to keep in mind as you go about creating your digital content. 1 Establish a relationship It’s a fact that customers today are way more likely to trust information from people they know (rather than a faceless corporation) when they make a purchase decision. So, using your digital content to build a personal connection is one of the most effective ways for developing trust and authority with your audience. Using quality digital content to create a relationship with your target market is what social media marketing is all about. 2 Create a range of digital content It’s a good idea to put together a simple editorial calendar of the type of content you’ll create and when and how you’ll use it. Doing so will also help you avoid posting the same sort of content every day. Diversity is always a good thing when it comes to digital content, so mix things up with images, short videos, blogs or by sharing authoritative content from others. Changing up the type of content you post will make things interesting for your audience and they will engage with you accordingly. It stands to reason that if your aim is to create a memorable brand, then you have to give people a reason to remember you. Questions are another really good social media marketing content type for triggering engagement with your audience. Questions are also a way to pump up your brand’s visibility because they encourage people to chime in on discussions. So, keep alert for opportunities, especially if a response from one member of your audience leads to a burning question from another, which could give you the gap to contribute further fuel to the conversation. 3 Engage regularly Building a brand takes a lot of effort, and doing so should be treated just like any other important day-to-day job in your business. So, every day, you should be creating and sharing content. A once-a-week Facebook post or the occasional Tweet is simply not going to cut it. Start by focusing on one or two carefully chosen social networks that you know are the networks where you’ll find most of your target audience, and try to be as active as possible on them. Updating your digital content frequently is also invaluable from the perspective of search engine optimization (SEO). By using your digital content to associate your brand with the keywords that matter to your target audience you can influence how well your brand is ranked by the various search engines. Higher search engine rankings, in turn, tell people that you’ve got something relevant to say or offer – and so the cycle builds. 4 Spread awareness Frequently updating your content can also help to introduce your brand to new audiences. If your content is good, i.e. it adds value by being informative, educational or useful and is not overtly promotional, then it will be way more likely to be disseminated further. This sort of ‘organic’ sharing of your digital content is a great way to get your brand in front of entirely new audiences. 5 Become a thought leader Content marketing is an excellent way to firmly establish your brand among your customers and within your industry as a whole, and will enable you to attract prospective customers too. Not only will your creation of consistently valuable digital content in your particular niche market enable you to be seen as a thought leader in your field, but it will also encourage interested ones to keep returning to your website and social media sites. One effective way to go about establishing yourself as an authoritative voice in your field is to write a blog about your industry and explain where you and your business fit in. For example, if you’re trying to attract a certain type of customer, you could do a short case study about a current customer with a similar background or you could describe a fictional situation and outline the potential solutions that your business can offer to prospective customers.

It’s a known fact that word-of-mouth has a significant influence on the purchasing decisions of consumers. Customers, or rather potential customers, are always far more likely to respond to recommendations from someone they know and trust than to stock standard advertising. Today, however, in our new world of online marketplaces and digital relationships, word-of-mouth has taken on a whole new force for good (or bad…), extending far wider than the traditional circles of colleagues, neighbors, friends and family and reaching out over ever expanding digital realms through the power of social influencer marketing. What is a social influencer? An influencer is a person who has an influence over others – and a social influencer is someone who uses social media channels to influence others. We’re probably all familiar with the concept of ‘celebrity endorsements’ – well, that’s one of the most common original forms of influencer marketing. However, in our digital age of online relationships, even everyday people have the potential to become social media ‘celebrities’, especially those who have large groups of highly engaged followers. Including social influencers in digital marketing strategies. Social influencer marketing is simply the practice of using influential people on social media networks to help a brand build relationships with new and different audiences. It’s a way to reach different audiences via the social influencer’s own social networks or connect with very specific niche audiences connected to the social influencer – audiences that ordinarily may not be accessible to that brand. However, these aren’t the only reasons digital marketers are looking to use social influencers. Social media is all about building relationships – and the key to any good relationship is authenticity, which is a very important factor for any business trying to build its brand on social media. It’s also the reason why social marketers are increasingly looking to recruit trusted online personas to help get their brand’s messages to consumers. How to incorporate social influencer marketing in your digital marketing strategy It’s best to think of social influencer marketing as merely yet another arrow in your marketing quiver. Any campaign in which you use a social influencer should still align with your overall digital and brand strategy, and complement the other marketing tactics you’re using. In most cases, the reason you’re using a social influencer is simply as a means to extend the reach of your brand messaging. It’s a way to piggyback on someone else’s social media follower base to reach a wider, yet-untapped audience in a way that wouldn’t be possible via your own social media accounts. For example, you could be trying to target a specific consumer segment, like Millennials in Auckland looking to buy their first home. However, as we’ve already said, success in social media marketing is all about being authentic, and a key requirement for true influence is trust. In other words, your audience must trust and respect the opinion of any social influencer with whom you partner. So, if you’re trying to break into a specific consumer segment, such as Auckland Millennials who are trying to buy their first home, then you’re going to have to partner with a social influencer with whom Millennials in Auckland already have a trusting rapport. How to find the right social influencer for your brand Of course, including a social influencer as a tactic in your social media marketing strategy is more than simply selecting a well-known individual to interact with your brand in some way on social media. If your social influencer does not have a strong, loyal following on the social network where your target audience is found, then what’s the point of using them? When choosing an influencer, in addition to finding the right fit for your niche market, you also need to find someone who’s producing content with a similar look and feel to your own. You’ll also want their tone to be appropriate for the way you want to present your brand to potential customers. Focus on the three Rs of influence While it’s obviously important to ensure your influencer is a good match for your brand, it’s also important to know who their audience is, how large it is and its level of engagement. So, before you reach out to a potential social influencer, consider the three Rs of influence, namely relevance, reach and resonance, as follows: Relevance: Ask yourself, is the social influencer sharing content and building a following that is relevant to my business and in a market segment that I want to target? Reach: Ask yourself, would the number of people I might be able to reach via the influencer’s fan base bring value to my business – value that I couldn’t achieve on my own? Resonance: Ask yourself, is the possible engagement that the influencer can create with the relevant audience valuable and relevant to my brand?

It’s actually as old as the hills, because at its essence it’s nothing more than a way to tell a ‘story’ that is ultimately intended to attract customers and keep them. Businesses have been telling stories about themselves, and their products and services, for this purpose for a very long time. The better quality content (what they have to tell and how they tell it) the more effective they will have been at achieving their goals. The only things that have changed are the speed at which you can now disseminate your content, its potential reach, and the way in which audiences engage with your content. And therein lies a major key to success – making sure your content is focused first on meeting the needs of what your readers want. In our brave new world of social media, content marketing isn’t about selling your product or showcasing your business. It’s about making a real connection with your target market so that they want to engage with you, and keep on engaging by coming back to you for more. If you build a relationship with them that they value, a relationship in which they see you as an authority in your field and someone they can trust, then they will ultimately be willing to buy from you and tell others about you. Here are three ways to ensure your online content does what it’s meant to do. Know your audience If you want to create online content for your target audience, the first steps are obviously to know who they are, where they are and what they want. As soon as you know these things (use social media to find the answers), and the networks your audience are using, you can set about creating online content that you can use to join in on their conversations. Remember, this is not about creating content that is only aimed at the ultimate sales transaction, such as product and price details. What you’re really after is content that will create an emotional connection with your brand, which will inspire your target market to connect with you and start talking to and about you. Capture attention The digital world is a noisy place with an overwhelming amount of information coming at people from a myriad directions. Grabbing the attention of your target market is a hard task, and it’s getting harder by the day. To be successful you will need to cut through all the noise and stand out. One way is to make certain you interact directly with your followers by always responding to them – doing so is great for creating a personal connection between them and yourself. Another way is to experiment with using new social networks. You could also try doing some video content, or put out content that people might not normally associate with a brand like yours – just make sure it’s quality, accurate stuff that adds value for your followers. Also, make sure that you put out your content regularly and consistently – there’s nothing worse for switching off your followers (literally) than if they come to your site expecting to find something and there’s nothing there for them. Focus on quality content Readers want content that is written well, is easy to read and reveals your personality, and that of your business – after all, it’s about creating a social relationship, and you cannot be social without a personality. They also want original content that is full of useful information of value to them – for example, they want to learn something new or be prompted to think about something in a new way or see something in a new light. Otherwise, why would they bother to read it? No matter who your target audience is, they’re all busy – and they’re bombarded by heaps of other online content from businesses just like yours, also vying for their attention. So your content needs to not only grab their attention, but also make it easy for them to engage with it. Keep it short and to the point. People don’t just want answers to their questions – they want those answers quickly, so it’s important your content is easy to scan for all the important details. Make it visual, by using pictures, videos or diagrams that add value to your message and help unlock the points you are making. As you get going, you’ll soon know what sort of content works and what does not. You can keep measuring what’s working by analysing your SEO to see what content receives the highest search traffic. See what formats work the best, e.g. infographics, video, long form articles, short posts and so on. What content are your prospects and customers reading and sharing with others? What sort of content engages them to the point of becoming your customer? The answers to these sorts of questions are gold when it comes to online content. Quality content will not only engage your target market – it will also boost your content’s SEO ranking, because the search engines, like Google, reward high-quality content, which will help you gain even more traffic and prospects, and have a very positive impact on your business. Your content reflects you and your brand Remember, your online content – whether it be your website, your blog or your social media posts – is a reflection of you and your business. How it resonates with your readers is how they will view your brand, your products and services. Do you need help with your online content and your digital marketing strategy?

By now it’s unlikely that anyone will dispute the fact that marketing has entered a whole new space in recent years. Big-time marketers used to spend millions on campaigns that took up physical space on a billboard or in a magazine, effectively smothering any small-time competition. But then the digital space arrived and literally took off with the explosion of social media platforms. Now any digital marketer can reach thousands, even millions, of people with relative ease. The kingpin of social media, Facebook, has been a key tool in the digital marketing game for some time now, so if you are not taking advantage of Facebook marketing for your business it’s probably time to get on board. Still having doubts? Well, let’s see what Facebook has to offer digital marketers. Even some of the basic statistics are impressive. For example, did you know that Facebook boasts a huge 1.7 billion monthly active users and well over a billion daily users. There are also many tens of millions of business pages on Facebook. It’s the most-used social media site among all ages, accounting for one in every six minutes spent online and one in every five minutes spent on mobile. In other words, pretty much everyone uses Facebook – and they use it a lot. With the ability to create a Facebook page for your business, with Facebook marketing you can advertise your brand in ways that weren’t even possible not that long ago, and reach a global audience. So, missing out on this piece of the pie could be detrimental to your business. All you need is an effective Facebook marketing strategy that pays careful attention to Facebook’s News Feed algorithm and you could be harnessing Facebook’s massive resources to drive the success of your business. What is the Facebook algorithm? Unlike sites where everything you post automatically shows up for every person who follows you, Facebook uses an algorithm to determine what content appears in an individual’s News Feed. While the Facebook algorithm is a complicated creature that apparently considers more than 100,000 individual factors to do what it does, in a nutshell its purpose is to provide its users with a better experience by exposing them to a more manageable amount of content. According to Facebook, the average user had access to more than 1,500 posts per day but only looked at 300. So their News Feed algorithm looks at the thousands of factors or signals that Facebook uses to determine which posts should be among those 300 that get served up in a user’s News Feed. In other words, the News Feed algorithm is how Facebook curates what would otherwise be an overwhelming amount of content into a more manageable chunk for the individual user. As Facebook itself puts it, "The goal of News Feed is to deliver the right content to the right people at the right time so they don’t miss the stories that are important to them." Facebook marketing for business and the Facebook algorithm When it comes to your Facebook marketing strategy, it’s all about boosting the organic reach of your business page to ensure your content gets seen by as many people as possible. However, how the Facebook News Feed algorithm works has implications for the organic reach of your page. Therefore, in light of Facebook’s impressive statistics, it’s worth finding out how to extend your content’s reach organically on this platform. By becoming familiar with the main levers in the algorithm, you’ll be better positioned to do what is required to help ensure your content is seen by more people. What’s in the Facebook Algorithm? While Facebook calculates the importance of Facebook pages according to several factors, the most prominent one is social interaction, rewarding things like engagement, relevance and timeliness. For example, on a page level, the number of people ‘liking’ your page is no longer the main thing. Far more important for the algorithm, is whether you have real interactions with people. And even if that audience size is smaller, it still has more weight with the algorithm than a page with thousands of mute followers. While the cues that count for the algorithm on the individual post level include things such as likes, clicks, comments and shares, it also looks at the amount of time spent viewing a post as an indicator of the sort of content that people want to see. The bottom line, however, and the thing that really counts when it comes to Facebook marketing is something that we’ve been saying for ages, namely, quality. Quality content is the key! Let’s talk Facebook marketing strategy Social sharing is a critical part of digital marketing, but Facebook doesn’t appreciate a business page using Facebook just to promote its own content. So here are 5 tips to help you keep your posts circulating through the network. Go for high-quality content Always share high-quality content by being informative, in whatever way that makes sense in your industry. Don’t simply reuse content from your page adverts, as sharing overly promotional posts, i.e. ones that solely push people to buy a product or do something specific without providing additional relevant and useful context, will be picked up by the algorithm and get less distribution. Avoid publishing pure text posts and focus more on sharing rich media, such as links, photos and video. Focus on engagement Keep posts short, use big, beautiful images, and quickly respond to people’s comments. If you share links to articles or blog posts, make sure they’re quality content that readers will want to spend time with. If you do give video a try, definitely make sure it’s something that will resonate with your audience. Post about timely or trending topics The Facebook algorithm likes fresh posts, although if a post is losing a bit of its fresh edge but lots of people are still actively commenting on or sharing it, then that sort of engagement may expand the reach of post. Don’t use spam tactics, like click-bait The Facebook algorithm weeds out click-bait headlines. Click-bait headlines are exaggerated headlines or ones that give little information about what the person will find if they click through. Facebook defines click-bait as “headlines that intentionally leave out crucial information, or mislead people, forcing people to click to find out the answer.” Here’s an example of a click-bait headline: The body builder used the protein powder and you won’t believe what happened. Make sure you share headlines that inform and set appropriate expectations by putting enough description in them. The algorithm will also look at where click-bait posts come from and, over time, links posted from domains or shared by pages that consistently post click-bait will appear lower in News Feed. Ensure load time is fast for mobile sites The speed with which your page opens for a mobile user can affect the reach of posts linking to your site. Remember, for Facebook, it’s all about the user experience – not so much your user experience as a business, but rather the user experience of your target audience. So, your Facebook marketing strategy should be focused on staying current with the way Facebook operates, by placing a stronger emphasis on social ads in order to reach and engage with your audience in the way they want to be engaged with. The best way to ensure this is by creating posts that users find informative and relevant, which will produce more engagement and ultimately result in your posts being seen by more people.

Get In Touch! ### What will likely be the most important digital marketing trends in 2017? The digital marketing space is a very big place – and it’s growing in leaps and bounds all the time. Never sleeping, or even slowing down, it’s an exciting space in which to play. It’s also a complex and temperamental beast. To be successful in this space you need to hit just the right nerve in your digital audience to appeal to them and stay ahead of the competition. While the rapidly changing face of the digital marketing space does create new opportunities just about every day, it’s not that easy to forecast what is going to happen next or where the next big opportunity in the future of marketing will lie. Using the latest digital marketing trends as a yardstick, we’ve taken a stab at what we think the digital marketing trendsetters will be in 2017. Keeping up with these trends can help you decide where to invest your marketing energy for a successful outcome. 7 digital marketing trends you need to consider in your digital marketing strategy for 2017 Video content to take off Users of social media are all about being ‘in the now’ – and they want ‘in-the-moment’ content. Videos have a huge impact – after all, would you rather watch a video or scroll through a ream of text? The answer is obvious. Videos demand very little of the brain, yet they are great for entertaining and educating – and they have an amazing potential to go viral. With the proliferation of smartphones and other mobile devices, more brands than ever before will make greater use of video content or live video streaming to engage with their customers. Unique, high-quality content remains key On one hand, the digital space is so saturated with advertising, websites, blogs and social, that businesses will need to rise above the noise if they want to have any hope of being noticed. On the other hand, attention spans have fallen off the proverbial cliff and are only going to get worse as technology advances and people become more impatient with what it’s serving up to them. To cut through the digital noise and address the problem of the goldfish-like attention spans, businesses will need to deliver unique, original content in which every word and line counts. And you’ll need to keep on top of measuring the effect of your content so you can keep tweaking it to meet you audience’s ever-changing needs, which brings us to the next digital marketing trend for 2017 – data interpretation. Boom in data interpretation Without the right data to guide it, any digital marketing activity is pretty much dead in the water. To know what’s working and what’s not, we need quantitative information about who’s buying what, when and why. We also need to know what messaging is pushing the right buttons in the leads generation and conversion process. While technology to gather quantitative information has been around for ages, recently greater strides have been made with data visualization tools to enable better qualitative interpretation of the data. 2017 will see more businesses needing to start using these tools in order to fine-tune their digital marketing so they can become better at funneling their traffic into sales. More demanding search and social algorithms Whether we like it or not, the enormous amounts of information being added to the Internet every second of every day means the search and social engines will continue to update their algorithms to decide which content gets priority. It’s all about providing users with a better experience by exposing them to more manageable amounts of content. If you want the search and social engines to like your content, it will be best to ensure your digital marketing strategy for 2017 is all about making sure your content is always unique, informative and helpful to your audience. Mobile to dominate Look anywhere and you’ll see people absorbed in their smartphones. Any marketer worth their salt knows that the key to success is adapting to and optimizing for the mobile market. In fact, businesses are already getting with the programme, so to speak, by providing responsive websites that meet the 'mobile-friendly' rules of Google and other search engines. So, the smart money for 2017 rests on mobile-focused digital marketing, with the digital trend continuing to focus on optimizing the mobile experience for users. Focus on niche markets Given the digital marketing space is so crowded, one of the best ways to get better bang for your digital marketing efforts is to aim at niche markets. Success could be driven simply by going for more targeted, more social campaigns with almost personal-like content. Such a ‘less is more’ approach could actually work very well in light of the what’s happening in the search engine and social algorithm field, which is already forcing brands to be more selective with the amount and quality of content they post. In other words, build your digital marketing strategy for the new year around high-quality, mobile friendly content, which includes video and is tailored for specific market segments – after all, you can’t be everything to everyone. Get it right and you may just hit on the all-important ‘X factor’ that will send your content into the viral stratosphere. Rise of immersive experiences Who can forget the Pokémon Go phenomenon that took the world by storm this year?! What it revealed to digital marketers is that users are chomping at the bit for more immersive experiences. Experiences that make them feel they’re doing more than simply staring at a phone, tablet or laptop screen. Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are two technologies gathering momentum in this space. But there are also other ways to provide an immersive experience. For example, using 360 videos that make your audience feel like they’re part of the ‘moment’. Hosting live webinars and workshops are also ways to immerse your audience in your message. In 2017, be sure to watch the virtual space! What do you think? Let us know what you think the most important digital marketing trends will be in 2017. If you want help to develop your digital marketing strategy for 2017 – one that will drive online leads through your sales funnel, then talk to us at Net Branding. We’re a digital marketing agency with a proven track record in delivering effective content strategies for forward-thinking companies.

If we want to find recipes, we hop onto Pinterest; if we’re looking for professional connections, we head to LinkedIn; and so on. The best thing about all these options is that they’ve already been vetted by other people. We’re far more likely to trust a Facebook friend who recommends a product than a description on the product’s website itself. So, while we can Google ‘blue suede shoes’ and receive an ad from a heap of shoe stores, it’s unlikely we’ll proceed with a purchase before doing some research on the various brands. First, we might check them out on Facebook and read some reviews; then we might check Twitter and Instagram for discounts. What we want to be sure of is that we’re not going to get ripped off. That’s why it’s so important that brands recognise this process and make every effort to use these social media channels to develop a relationship with their customers. That being said, of course, it takes a lot of time and effort in order for your brand to be constantly engaging, posting and sharing on social media – and who really has time for that? So yes, while most social media channels are free to use, if they're sucking up your time, then they can actually be cutting into your bottom line. To prevent that happening, we’ve put together a list of 12 tips to help you save time (and money) while you engage with and grow your social media following. 1. Create a social media strategy and plan Having a strategy will help you bridge the gap between where you are on social media and where you want to be. This is not nearly as scary or complicated as it might sound. All you are really trying to do is to align your social media goals with your overall business goals. Your strategy will establish who you’re trying to reach and what you want to accomplish. Your plan will serve as a guide for your marketing efforts and help you avoid ineffective, time-wasting tactics.   So, to establish your social media goals and determine how you will achieve them – and how you will measure your success – think of and answer questions such as: Who do you want to reach? How are you going to get to them? What social media tactics will best fit your goals? What do you want your audience to know about your brand? How are you going to convert them into customers? How are you going to help them talk about your brand to others? 2. Audit your current social media activity Do an audit of what you’re currently doing on social media – that means taking a long, hard and objective look at what you’re doing – be honest about what’s working or not working. Create a spreadsheet of all the social media channels you’re using and what you’re doing on them. Evaluate the needs of your various social media networks and create a ‘mission statement’ for each of them – for example, if you have a LinkedIn profile, you might decide to use it to share stuff about your company’s culture and achievements. Make sure all your social media networks are up to date and on brand. So, while you might use the various networks for different purposes, they all still look and feel like they belong to one company. 3. Use social media analytics How do you know how many people are seeing your posts and engaging if you don’t look at the numbers? You need to make decisions about your use of social media based on data. Analyzing data is crucial for prioritizing your social media profiles and the type of content. Set regular times for analysis of your social media marketing results – weekly and monthly reports will give you the best perspective. Using an automated social media monitoring and measurement service will give you detailed measurement data on viewership, engagement, lead generation and much more. 4. Create a content calendar Create a spreadsheet of all your campaigns and projects to help you plan and schedule (by date and time) the content you want to share. Specify which social media network you’ll use to promote various aspects of the content in each campaign or project. Include all the social media messaging you’ll be using to promote your content. A schedule like this will help you solve some of the biggest issues that social media users have to deal with, such as, continuing to post badly-performing content, ignoring certain social media networks while overwhelming others, and missing important dates or events. 5. Set up a publication schedule You do not have to add a new post to every social network every day. Doing so can eat up a lot of time and leave you feeling overwhelmed. The important thing is that when you do post, make sure it’s valuable content that will generate a good response from your followers. Use your social media analytics to find out what time of the day/week you get more interaction from your target audience. For example, if you know that the majority of them are only online in the evenings, then make sure you are posting in that window. When you start to get a feel for what your followers want and when, you’ll have a clearer picture of when you should be concentrating on social media. 6. Create a content stockpile As a part of your social media schedule, make a time each week or two to sit down and brainstorm content ideas for blog posts, status updates, tweets, etc. This will prevent the stress of having to come up with something on the spot later. Then, when the time comes to update your posts, you can just select something relevant from the stockpile. 7. Focus on quality While it’s good to have a constant flow of content and announcements, it’s actually better to have nothing than to have abysmal posts with incorrect information. Make sure you are sharing content that is good enough for others to want to re-share. Aim for content that will last, not just trend for a week and disappear. If you are able to produce content or develop insights that will stay relevant in your industry, then you’ll have struck gold. 8. Set up topic alerts Social media is all about what is going on right NOW. So, stay aware of demand by keeping your eye on topics trending in your industry. To save yourself time from searching for industry news, set up a Google Alert for specific topics that relate to your business. Then chime in when you find something of interest and share it with your followers. This will increase your engagement rate and potentially gather more followers. 9. Get automated No one expects you to manage your social media accounts so intensely that you’re manually posting dozens of times per day. One bonus of having a content stockpile is that you can use tools like Buffer and Hootsuite to automatically schedule the future release of posts. This doesn’t mean you can put all of your social media posts on auto-pilot though, because that defeats the purpose of being in the ‘now’ that social media is all about. So, while you can schedule certain things, you still need to go back and make responses where needed and take time to actually interact with your followers. 10. Curate Post content produced by others. Sharing content from others makes your social media channels more interesting and saves you time, while also delivering additional value to your audience. Although the ideal mix varies, the important point is your social networks should not carry your own content exclusively. 11. Republish content Reposting a small percentage, say around 10%, of your content will not annoy your followers. Most probably did not even see your initial post and few will see it twice even if you repost it multiple times. However, only repost your best content – and do so at different times of the day. 12. Use your social networks for customer service  Many small businesses can easily take advantage of social media as a way to provide better customer service. For example, you can quickly and easily respond to any issues or comments that customers leave on your social networks, rather than having to wade through emails or have customers waiting to speak to someone on the phone. Remember, anything you can do on your social media networks that benefits your customers will also give you a greater return on your investment in social media.

Rules of play for your social media marketing strategy Are you up to date with the latest social media tips and tools? Would you like to improve your social media marketing? Most of us think we know a little bit about social media marketing. After all, we've probably posted something on Facebook at some stage, or made a tweet on Twitter, or put our resume on LinkedIn. However, merely having used a social networking platform does not mean we're expert when it comes to using these platforms to attract customers to our business. That's a whole different ball game. Fortunately, like any ball game, there are some basic rules to help you understand what you have to do to get the best results. Listen before you speak The first step in coming up with a successful social media marketing strategy is to listen to what your potential customers are saying. Find out what online content your target audience is posting and join discussions to learn what's important to them. Only by finding out what your customers like or talk about, will you know what matters to them? Then you'll know how to create content about your product or business that will appeal to them. Sharpen your focus Unless your company is a big brand, it's unlikely your customers are scattered across multiple social media channels. Therefore, to make the most of your limited resources, find the one channel that is densely populated with your ideal customers and inhabit it like no other. Chances are you'll also find your target audience is more interested in specific types of content, for example, they may want to watch a video rather than read an article, or vice versa. When you know what your audience wants, give them exactly that. Having a focused social media marketing strategy will help you build your brand appeal more effectively than an approach that simply tries to be all things to all people. Quality trumps quantity What would you rather have: 10,000 followers on your social media site who 'disappear' after they've connected with you or 500 followers who read, share and talk about your content? We'd definitely go with the latter scenario.Why? See the rule below about 'compounding your interest'. We live in an age of information overload and short attention spans. So, when it comes to capturing your audience's attention, it's crucial to make sure you package your message in a way that they'll engage with! So, instead of simply putting up lots of random posts, take the time to produce consistent, quality content that will really appeal to your audience. Remember, quality eats quantity for breakfast! Visual content can act as a gateway to more valuable content. When planning visual content to post on social platforms, think in terms of how it can drive traffic back to your website, products, and services. For example, link a short video back to your website from your YouTube account and make sure you provide expanded content around the video. Also, change you content format to maximize the full potential of your content and improve your overall reach and visibility. For example, you might turn one of your news articles each month into a video. This way, you'll also be able to grow your YouTube channel. Changing content formats doesn't have to involve just videos. You can also convert snippets from your existing articles into images, for example, a Tip of the Week type image. If you've written a lot about one specific topic on your blog, you might want to combine those articles into an eBook and use it to build your email list. Be patient Just as it takes some time to build a good brand reputation, so too it takes time for social media to help you achieve the desired reach in the marketplace. Unfortunately, too many businesses make the mistake of thinking if they throw everything they have at their social media efforts it will work miracles, but then give up after only a few weeks because it didn't make then a selling sensation. It's simply not realistic to expect any social media effort to generate an instant booming interest in your brand. Time, effort and a fair bit of tweaking will eventually work wonders – you just have to stick with it. Compound your interest Investing legend and multi-billionaire Warren Buffett has been a lifelong proponent of compound interest as the best way to build fabulous wealth. Compound interest is when the interest earned on investments earns interest itself. It's what causes wealth to rapidly snowball.   The same principle is true in the world of social media marketing. When someone likes something you have posted on your social media site they are very likely to share it on their networks. Their action of sharing your content is the act of 'compounding' their interest in your content. The more they share it the more new entry points they help create for search engines, and the people using them, to find you online. If you focus on publishing quality content that is relevant to your target audience you will build an online audience of quality followers who will, in turn, help you spread the word about your business. Find third-party influencers Its a fact that consumers generally trust recommendations from a third party about a brand more than they trust what a brand says about itself. Success on social media is often simply about having a conversation with the right people. Look for some key online influencers in your industry who have quality audiences and are likely to be interested in your product or service. If you can get them to see you as an interesting source of useful information, they might share your content with their own followers. This could be just the third-party recommendation that you're looking for – and it could put you and your business in front of a huge new audience. Add value People are pressed for time these days and content can be overwhelming, so make it valuable and easy to read. Another way to grow your following and increase engagement on social media is to be there consistently. Build a content library of posts for your channels, so your content schedule never runs dry. Whenever you create a piece of content (article, podcast or video) for your blog or website, come up with a list of 10 to 20 social media posts at the same time that can be used to promote that piece of content. This will save you a lot of time over the long run. Keep your posts relevant to, and interesting and valuable for your audience. You can't simply devote all your social media activity to directly promoting your products or services. If you don't give people something valuable from their point of view in exchange for the time they spend following you, they will simply stop paying attention. Develop relationships Building relationships are one of the most important actions in developing your social media marketing. When you add value by presenting content that is interesting to your audience, you build a relationship with them. They're then more likely to convert to your business and become a powerful word-of-mouth channel for your brand. For a relationship to work, it must be a two-way street. So be sure to always acknowledge any contribution on social media from a customer. Even a simple 'thank you' for sharing one of your posts will help strengthen your relationship. Anything you do that will encourage customers to comment favorably about your business more often will help to create that snowballing effect of 'compounding the interest' that we discussed above. Be accessible One of the best ways to grow your following and increase engagement on social media is to be seen to be there consistently, by publishing new content and participating in conversations. (See tip in the 'Add value' rule above about how to build a content library of posts for your channels, so your content schedule never runs dry.) Don't publish content and then make like a submarine and disappear. Be available to your audience. Make it a rule that if someone posts a comment or sends you a message, that you'll reply within 12 or 24 hours. If you disappear for too long, your audience will follow suit – except they probably won't come back. Return favours If you want others to share your content, then you have to be ready to share theirs in turn.Spend some of your time on social media talking about content published by others. Another benefit of commenting about others post is that people will start to recognize your name – and it will give you material for your own posts. And finally... Remember, social media marketing is a long game. It's about constantly meeting your target audiences expectations. If you do this consistently over time, you'll develop a loyal and valuable audience and you'll see visible results.

Any business, both established or fledgling, will eventually have to take on the challenge of creating a website, a social media account or other online presence. When it comes to online marketing, or establishing an online presence, it's easy to believe that you need to spend a lot in order to get an online reaction. This couldn't be further from the truth. My advice to start-ups and small businesses is to maximise the resources you have and stretch your budget in innovative ways so that you get noticed online for all the right reasons. At one end of the spectrum, your online presence could be an all-bells-and-whistles e-commerce platform or it could just be a simple website that gives customers more information about you. While big companies can afford to chuck heaps of time and money at their online marketing and advertising, the same doesn't hold true for start-ups and businesses that only have limited resources. And yes, while being able to throw money at your online presence can have positive benefits for your brand's visibility, it's not absolutely necessary in order to start building a meaningful online presence. One of the great things about starting a business today is the potential to get your ideas heard no matter what your budget. With a bit of creativity and a lot of hard work, tools such as social media can help even the smallest entity reach a huge audience. The downside to all these opportunities is there's also now a lot of noise out there. So, as creating an online presence for your brand or business is all about capturing the attention of your targeted audience, if you want to make yourself heard, you need to stand out from the crowd. Start with the basics When you start a new business you don't need everything at once. The same is true for your online presence – having all the bells and whistles would be a nice-to-have but they're not needed all at once. Much better to simply focus just on what you need to get going. Think of it as if you were setting up your first home. You'd focus on the basics, right? The nice-to-have stuff would be added later. So your online presence at first might be nothing more glamorous than a simple landing page with a contact form. Easy! Here are 12 tips to help you create a strong online presence even on a shoestring online marketing budget. Create your website Building and maintaining a website is one of the most important marketing tools for any business.While this step may seem obvious, the thought of creating a website is often a daunting prospect for many business owners. The good news, however, is that building a website is more straightforward than you might think. There are a number of free online tools that allow you to drag and drop design elements into ready-to-use templates. Remember, your initial goal is to build a website just so you can be found online. You can refine the look and feel and functionality over time – let your website grow up together with your business. Start a blog Blogging is one of the most effective ways to improve the online visibility of your brand.In addition to cultivating relationships with customers and other influencers, thereby increasing your reach, blogging does a lot to promote the authenticity of your brand. It also greatly improves your search engine ranking. Go where people are A great online presence isn't just about having your own website or writing a blog. To raise awareness about your business, you need to go where people already are on the web and connect with them there. This is where social media channels like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+ come into the mix. Social media marketing is one of the most effective and cost-effective ways to promote both small and large businesses. As well as building relationships and making new connections, you can also use social media to drive people back to your website or blog – for example, by letting people know that you've posted something new. Be visual with video Businesses of all sizes and scale can benefit from video marketing, e.g. YouTube or Vimeo. Posting branded videos relevant to your niche market is a very effective way to promote your business, drive traffic to your website, and get your brand noticed in front of a targeted audience. See our recent article about live video streaming for more about the ease, simplicity and power of video. Be social Don't underestimate the power of social media channels like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+. If you regularly update your profiles on these sites with engaging content that is relevant to your business you'll generate interest. If your customers appreciate your content then they are very likely to share it with their networks too. Make sure to follow other relevant businesses in your field as well. Not only will this help to increase your social media presence, but it will also help you see what content they are creating on social media and how successful it is with their audiences. Commenting about and on other relevant blogs and social media posts can be a good way to get your name out there and start building a positive reputation. However, don't see it as an opportunity for a sales pitch; rather see it as a chance to add value to the conversation, be genuinely helpful and ultimately build relationships. Share rather than sell We say it again – don't make the mistake of seeing social media as a sales channel. See it as a place to start conversations and build relationships. Try to make your blog and social media channels a place where people want to come for inspiration or advice. Keep your audience in mind and create helpful and relevant content that they would search for or want to pass on. So, whenever you're posting on your blog or social media channels, keep promotional posts to a minimum and think more in terms of sharing useful content, such as tips, news, and opinions. In this way, you'll not only get people reading your posts but you'll also start to establish yourself as someone knowledgeable that people will want to hear from. Be strategic Think about how you can use your various channels to complement each other and strengthen your overall online presence.For example, once you've got your website and social media channels set up, cross-link where you can. Here are a few suggestions on how to do this: if you've just posted something on Facebook, tell your Twitter followers to check them out; add a link to your website on your LinkedIn profile, and add social sharing buttons to your blog to make it easy for people to share your posts on their social media channels. Focus on quality We've said it a hundred times and well say it again –creating quality content is the best way to gain visibility online and effectively promote recognition of your brand. Refresh your content regularly, make it interesting, make it useful, make it fun, keep it short and succinct and, if you use imagery, make sure they're good quality. Put yourself in the shoes of a possible visitor to your website or social media channel and ask yourself, would I find this interesting and useful, and would I bother coming back for more? Update regularly Irrespective of whether you're posting on social media or your own blog, sticking to a regular schedule can help to build trust and expectations. Having regular, fresh content can also help improve your websites search engine rankings. It's better to have a more considered, regularly updated presence on a few sites than to spread yourself too thin. Measure It's vital that you continually monitor your progress when developing your online presence. Keep an eye on whats working and whats not, and keep making tweaks. If you have your own website or blog, Google Analytics is your new best friend. It's a free, powerful tool that helps you monitor the performance of your website.As well as telling you the number of unique visitors and page views, you can see which content is the most popular, and where your visitors are coming from, e.g. Google, Twitter or Facebook. On your social media channels, keep watching as to what sort of updates generate the most interest among your followers, then focus on delivering more of the same. Be patient Finally, be patient! Building a high-performing online presence is hard work and takes time. Don't give up if you don't get the results you want straight away. Help is only a phone call away If you are looking to kick start your online presence, but not quite sure where or how to start, feel free to contact the team at Net Branding. We can help you build an effective online presence around any budget, whether its training days to get you started, a consultancy service to assist and guide your marketing efforts, or full management to give you the peace of mind that someone is looking after you online while you can focus on getting on with the business of generating revenue.

As digital technology continues to revolutionise the world, digital marketing, and data drove marketing, in particular, are become increasingly more important for the survival of businesses. In fact, there are few business functions that have been as profoundly disrupted by digitisation as marketing. As a result, there’s probably little doubt in anyone’s mind that the era of traditional marketing is fast coming to an end. The days of pushing big, expensive campaigns about a single product through the mass media are pretty much over. Nowadays, consumers, empowered by information, are demanding more and more from the companies they choose to form relationships with. They’re learning more about not just price but about where things come from, the significance of reviews, and what really is the difference between one product or service and another. All this requires a whole different marketing model –and a whole different set of data to drive it. Creating a marketing funnel that generates sales Every business with a digital shopfront has steps that people must take to become a customer. Irrespective of whether would-be customers are signing up to your online service or buying a product from your website, they have to progress along the various stages of your marketing funnel, from first awareness of your brand to post-sale evangelism. Basically, the various stages of your marketing funnel make up the process of converting a visitor or browser into a paying customer. The funnel itself helps to visually show the conversion data between each step. This enables you to determine things like what steps are causing the customer confusion or trouble, what language or content might be changing their emotional behavior up to and during checkout, and so on. Exposure to your brand is what sits at the top of the marketing funnel and represents your potential pool of sales leads. Next, you need to determine how many people actually do something as a result of their exposure to your brand. Measuring their engagement is one of the most important measurements because it shows how many people actually cared enough about what you are offering or had to say to take in some kind of action. But what action exactly did your message or content influence them to take? In other words, did your campaign influence positive vibes toward your brand or did it have a less desired effect? Do you know how your digital media is helping your business? Do you want to find out how your digital channels are impacting your brand awareness? Understanding your reach, engagement and influence will enable you to define your presence and impact. So, how then do you make all this data meaningful? Doing so, and doing so accurately, is extremely important for the future of your business. Assessing digital data to drive business growth What digital allows you to do is have something for everybody and use the data that you have about an individual in a particular moment – because of the search term that they use, or because of where they’ve been looking on your website, or due to the social engagement they’ve had with your brand – to categorise them differently and have something for each of them. But that actually means having something for each of them and creating that range of content and offers. That’s a lot different from the old-style marketing campaigns that focused mainly on pushing something specific to a specific target audience and which took a time to develop and get underway. Digital is way faster. It’s way more complex. It requires constant testing and adjustment. It’s a rapid cycle of test and learn, test and learn, constantly evolving and adjusting. The customer’s journey now is a cross-channel journey. They’re touching your mobile site, using their laptop, talking to somebody over the phone, going into a store. Yet it’s all one journey. And it’s imperative that you look at that journey in its totality so you can ensure your channels and what’s on them are always at the ready. A whole new ball game Digital isn’t simply just one more marketing channel. It’s the whole new ball game. It’s all about using data, faster cycle times, and a whole lot more interactivity with very much more empowered customers. So you need to ask and get a whole lot more from you data because you need it to drive so much more of your decision making, how you deal with your customers and what value-add you’ll offer them. It’s no longer just about product strategy or customer experience. Now you also need a data strategy because you need to know how to get more information about your customers, how to use that information so you can drive your customers to do more business with you so you can get even more information about them – in other words, an ever expanding cycle of data gathering that will eventually turn into your source of competitive advantage.

Get In Touch! ### Delivering a digital difference – what our clients say Today, we find ourselves living in a digital world that’s practically surfing on an exploding wave of technology. Often, the speed of technological change means that the right path yesterday may no longer work today. Technology is literally ‘disrupting’ everything we knew and believed. For example, there was a time (not too long ago) when websites were really nothing more than a static brochure. Now, however, many companies consider managing their website a challenge. Often the reason for this is that in order to be effective now, websites need to be dynamic, evolving and responding to the platforms from which customers want to access them. In effect, websites have become more like machines – and while managing a static brochure is easy, managing a machine is not. So, as our digital landscape continues to evolve, it seems that change will remain the only constant. What hasn’t changed, however, is the basic need of any business to get their message in front of the right audience at the right time. That still remains the name of the game. However, as businesses continue to build out their online presence, making use of the growing variety of online communication channels to offer customers ever-increasing choice, the digital streets have become crowded. Rising above the ensuing noise is becoming increasingly more difficult. While it’s true that people are more connected than ever before, they are also more distracted than ever before. In fact, people are so inundated with messages and content, from news to entertainment to social feeds to everything else that the wear-out factor is much greater than it ever used to be. Against this background, figuring out the right marketing channels is the key to success for a business. Where are your customers and how do you best reach them and what is the right messaging? Once you get a new customer, how do you keep the customer when they are constantly barraged by competitors? There’s no doubt then that in our new digital era, the speed of technology change and adoption rates present unique challenges for businesses. But with challenges come opportunities – and there’s probably never been a better time to be a digital-savvy marketer. As a leading digital marketing agency, the Auckland-based team of Net Branding thrives on creating opportunities for our clients in this brave new digital world. We understand today’s commercial landscape and know how to make the best use of modern digital technology to grow our clients’ businesses. Director Ross Waldron of Printware and Techware Solutions agrees when he says of Net Branding: “Their client support has been outstanding and they have exceeded all of my expectations.

The team’s hands-on experience in IT, website development, social media, and digital marketing has seen them time and time again design and implement practical online strategies that deliver impressive results for our clients.

Joining us in this school holidays is our newest and the most adorable team member yet - Mr. Matthew. Matthew is an 11-year-old boy who loves playing different kinds of sports and is a champ at rugby. Matthew also loves ice creams and have, in fact, made a deal with us that we will pay for 1 blog with an ice cream. For his very first blog, we asked Matthew to write about his thoughts on Cyber Safety. Here is what he had to say: Note: Other than formatting, no changes have been made on Matthew's original blog. 5 great cyber safety tips from an 11-year-old. Cyber Safety is very important. Below are 5 tips to help you be safe online: Don't Meet Someone Personally That You Met Online: When you are online you need to be careful. Don’t arrange to meet anyone that you have only met online. Only arrange to meet them if you actually know and like the person. Maybe if it is someone your parents know. Always tell an adult, your parents or caregiver before you go to meet someone. Protect Your Identity Online: Don't give out any passwords or any personal information online. If you are going to school and you are in your school uniform, you can still take pictures but don’t post them online. Because other people who don’t know you will see your name on the post and then they will see the school logo and they would then know your name and the school that you go to. Digital Foot Print: Another point is that when you are online you leave a digital footprint. That digital footprint will stay with you for the rest of your life. You Should Also Never Cyber Bully: Because some people actually get all cooped up in a room and feel important when they hurt the feelings of others. It is sad and can affect people for a long time. Be Careful What You Say Online: Do not say anything online that you would not say to the person. So after this, I hope that you stay safe online. ### Happy Mother's Day to All Mums Out There "There is no role in life more essential and more eternal than that of motherhood" - M Russell Ballard     https://netbranding.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Happy-Mothers-Day-from-your-Inbound-Marketing-Social-Media-Marketing-Team.mp4 ### A new kid on the digital marketing and social media block - The Anchor App A new comer...

In simplistic terms, when a consumer or customer is looking for your services or product that you provide. There are many aspects to this funnel and they all are as important as the next. So what are the elements of this digital marketing funnel? 1. search engine optimisation, 2. content marketing, 3. email marketing, and 4. social media marketing. Filling the Sales Funnel – What are the lead generation activities in your digital marketing funnel? Let’s think about website traffic? It is important to ensure your content caters for all your inbound marketing funnels. Educational information such as trends, training, findings and news are great information to share on your website or blog. Remember, at the top of the funnel, your potential customers are interested in a topic (a problem they need to fix or a goal they need to achieve), not a product. The call to actions at the end of these written articles (e.g. offers or product trials) push your potential customer further down through this sales funnel. A mistake so often made is that content is written to communicate news, learning or to fix a problem. Little thought is given to what users are actually searching for. We need to carefully and analytically pick keywords or phrases, optimize your web pages, and then build links around the terms your ideal buyers are searching for. But wait, there are still more elements to the sales and digital marketing funnel. This created content can also be used to share with pre-qualified leads via your email marketing campaigns. During these touch points, you are continuing to nurture those leads.

What Facebook features are heading your way in 2016 From a social media perspective, Facebook is a phenomenally different network to the one that caught our attention February 2004. Yes, we have worked in the digital marketing arena since then.  Facebook is the social media tool that many professionals love to hate: while it can be an efficient way to network, connect with clients, and promote a business, it can also be a notorious distraction, and yes, a platform for opinions and rants. But, as a social networking tool, it continues to enhance feature and add new functionality. Our digital marketing company have harnessed a selection of some of the new Facebook features and functions that have been added or may be included to enhance how local New Zealand businesses can make the most of their users’ Facebook experience. 8 Facebook features for 2016 1.  Facebook Live Video - Facebook Mentions Whilst currently not available for business, you may be able to utilise this function if you are a public figure. No additional app is needed to use this feature. The Live Video content prompt is located in the normal “Update Status” prompt in the mobile app. This social media feature is scheduled to be rolled out to verified business pages soon. It is a well-known fact that organic video engagement on Facebook is higher than any other social platform (including Instagram and Facebook). So watch out for this Facebook feature. 2.  Facebook Professional Services The purpose of this digital marketing feature on Facebook is to turn Facebook into an area of choice for your business or professional service search. You could use this Facebook feature when searching for a recommended professional service or local business. 3.  And Yes, Improved Search When Facebook quietly dropped Bing as the search provider powering Facebook’s Internet search, few people knew that Bing’s replacement would be Facebook itself. In October 2015, Facebook rolled out an improved search function opening up all public posts as well as improved intelligence to inform personalized results. The result? Public posts are more accessible to the Facebook community and, therefore Facebook search may become a greater driver of search activity in the future. 4.  Looking for a Taxi? Facebook and Uber Facebook has added a Uber to its Messenger service. The service is available to select users. It will start off in the US cities that Uber operates in, and then expand internationally. Facebook Messenger has 700 million users globally, as of June 2015. The partnership, announced on 16 December 2015, will let Uber customers both order from the ride-sharing service and make a payment from within the Messenger app. The payments will be processed by Braintree, a PayPal subsidiary. 5.  Facebook Shopping Facebook is also testing wider rollout of the "Marketplace" feature that it's been working on for a few months now. Known simply as "Shopping." Facebook’s quest to become a major force to be reckoned with on the Internet continues. What began as people’s social graph and personal information has rapidly expanded to include videos, the online of presence of the businesses. Back in July 2015, Facebook added a “buy” button and allowed e-commerce partners to sell products on Facebook through Shopify. Even though the results of social shopping were disappointing for Facebook in 2015, Facebook appears poised to expand their e-commerce offerings in 2016. Considering how Facebook recently made it easier to find nearby events, a hyperlocal shopping app doesn't seem too far-fetched. 6.  Facebook Events – Now improved! Facebook events application has been around since the beginning of Facebook. However, they’ve recently improved the features and functionality of this app. The new Facebook Events allows you to do all of the following in a very user-friendly environment: Browse invitations Accept/decline invitations (public and private) Bookmarks RSVPs Schedules Calendar entries Ticket buying Check-ins Photos 7.  Crowd Funding Services Utilizing a Facebook “donate” button and Facebook’s platform and distribution, non-profits may be able to fundraise more effectively on Facebook than with other crowdfunding sites. And yes, it had to be on the list… And yes, it had to be on the list… 8.  A tool to ease the  heartache of breakups! Facebook will begin testing the breakup protection on mobile devices in the United States before deciding whether to offer it to all of its 1.5 billion account holders worldwide. This feature is designed for people who don't want to risk offending a former husband, wife, partner girlfriend or boyfriend by taking a more extreme step of blocking them from their Facebook network. After signalling to Facebook that there has been a relationship status change, a Facebook user will also be allowed to remove their names from past posts linking them to a former partner. Despite its size and stature, Facebook is one of the great utilities for communication and seems poised to increase its influence for the future. Whilst we may not have many of these features yet, they are on their way with exciting opportunities for businesses that use this social media platform for some of their digital marketing.

Content is now distributed and consumed locally and globally, across multiple devices (PC, mobile, tablet) and in multiple formats. As a result, social engagement is starting to rely more heavily on high-quality content, and search engines have begun to take social signals into account as an indicator of content quality, simply as a way of wading through the huge amount of content. This has resulted in a change in the relationship between social media and search. The two are becoming more and more closely aligned, and comments such as “social is the new search” and “search and social media are one” are becoming more common. The integration of search and social media helps generate more relevant content, which creates more relevant search engine listings and higher rankings, which drives more traffic to your social sites and website. Yet it’s the content that’s the catalyst for driving the search and social media activity. Content is the catalyst that drives the synergy between search and social media Great content is something that lots of people are likely to link to; it’s also something they will share on social media. This can create a powerful synergy between your content publishing, social media and search engine optimization (SEO). Having a planned, holistic approach to content across all digital media channels is very important for SEO. The more unique and insightful your content, the more likely you’ll rank in the long term. As Google shifts its focus to quality and relevancy to give users a better search experience, the adoption of content marketing has soared to become the glue that binds the search and social media relationship. Content and the search and social media relationship Historically the creators of content and SEO have tended to work separately. However, iIntegrating your content creation and SEO processes is way more efficient because it enables you to create and optimize in sync, without having to switch from SEO tools to content management systems. The result is great content that is also SEO-friendly, which enables better search results. Here’s how: Understand your audience Understanding your audience is crucial to leveraging content as your search and social media catalyst. It’s just as important as optimizing your keywords! Identify the keywords - both yours and your competition’s - that drive trends and topics on social media Once you understand your target audience, look at the language used on social networks to find fresh keywords and phrases. Make sure you use the trending keywords in your content. Compare your rankings against those of your competitors. What does their content look like? What content strategies are working for them? Use the answers to these questions to review your own content, then build your search and social strategies around this. Monitor social media for topics relevant to your search keywords. Analyze the content being shared to reinforce what’s working and dump what isn’t. Find new ideas for content Social media provides an excellent resource for new content ideas. Keep an eye on frequently asked questions in relation to your website’s topic, check the types of questions people are asking on community websites like Reddit, or check out BuzzSumo to see what sort of material / keyword is proving popular, then simply expand on it with quality content. Test web page titles for optimization Writing viable website page titles (meta descriptions) can be tricky - and how do you test whether they’re effective or not beforehand? But you can test them via social media. For example, simply post on social media using variations of the meta description text and check how people engage with them. The more engagement you get for a variation, the better the text is for a meta description. Make use of mechanisms such as Facebook Search Graph and Google Trends Facebook Search Graph provides a wealth of useful information for search marketers, and Google Trends allows you to see hourly activity, enabling you to use search data to inform your social media marketing. Ensuring that content drives your search and social media efforts is how you build upon the synergies of search and social media. Not only does content drive your search and social media activities, but your search and social research helps inform how you build your content plan.

SEO Tips – The Basics of Search Engine Optimisation. SEO – Returning to the tried and tested. The term Search Engine Optimisation or SEO, has been tracked back to the year 1997.  It was first used to describe a webmaster’s ability to edit a website’s design and code to impact favourably on websites ranking in a search engine. Since that day SEO tips and basic strategies have included: back-linking, title tags, webpage architecture, site maps and YES, a writing content that placed an emphasis on keywords. All search engine algorithms are being constantly modified. But user-friendly website development tools are also embracing SEO. Website development platforms such as WordPress or Shopify, now include core elements of SEO.  As such SEO implementation has become less technical and largely automated. This has impacted on recent search engine algorithm changes and the likes of Google has restructured its view on back-linking in favour of quality content. SEO tips and basics – Its computer geek speak! In spite of these changes, the concept of SEO still creates horror chills in the mind of non-technical business folk. People whose view on SEO is that of computer geek speak and complicated. Google’s current statement on SEO is clear. It focuses on “creating compelling & useful content which will likely influence your website more than any of the other factors.” So, what has change in pure SEO land? There are two SEO strategy options. Web architecture and Content Marketing. A good website architecture is a fundamental requirement. It is no longer a nice to have, but a basic must have for your website. Your website strategy should include search engine indexing and responsive website design and display. With a great website architecture in place, your content marketing is where the continued optimisation takes place. Generate good content and search engines will reward you with higher search rankings and web searchers looking for your interesting content. It is no longer about text stuffed with highly targeted keywords resulting in content that does not flow and is difficult to read. Our 4 basic  but tried and tested SEO tips 1. Use a content management system (CMS) Your website should have a great content management system (CMS). Wordpress offers a simple CMS with many tools options that can assist with SEO and indexing on search engines. Use your CMS to publish your news / blogs. Remember to include great images to bring the written words to life. 2.  The secret to content is… Generate great content and publish often. At many of my digital marketing seminars, I recommend publishing new content weekly basis. If all the web pages on your site are exactly the same as when you launched your website, the search engines may no longer be “crawling” your site. Give them something to come back for. Provide them with fresh, interesting and relevant content. 3. Use Google partner sites. Google’s spiders love Google’s partner sites Did you know that Google crawlers love Google partner sites? So create a YouTube account and embed your videos on your website. Create Google Places pages for your business and classify your business carefully. Think about a Google+ page for your business. And remember to submit your site to Google’s Webmaster tools. Remember to test your website – Is your website Mobile friendly? 4. Social media management. Reach current and potential clients in your social media networks. Spread your social network. Do you have a social presence on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, LinkedIn and Google+. These tools can offer great links to your website content and aid content distribution. Add to this the affordable search engine marketing. PPC (Pay Per Click) campaigns allow you to specifically target audiences with your chosen environment. Social media and blog writing can also increase your influence within your area of expertise. Not to mention the value as your content gets shared by your fans and followers.

How to make your social media accounts secure! Is Facebook Security Important? Do you or your business use social media accounts, such as Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn? Because your social media accounts may reach your clients directly, the last thing you want is for an unauthorized party to start posting things there. Facebook Security and other Social Media Accounts. Online safety and security are among the biggest concerns for companies today. What can be done? Take steps to prevent your social media accounts from being compromised or hacked. Monitor employee access to your accounts and secure your account passwords. Our digital marketing team at Net Branding have put together a helpful list that you are able to implement. It is advisable to share these with your team to ensure that there is a company-wide element of awareness around these general social media security strategies. Prevent hacking - 12 strategies to protect your social media accounts These strategies are valid whether you are using social media for personal use or Facebook for business. 1. Social media and Facebook security starts with your password(s) A strong password contains a mixture of lower case and capital letters, numbers and punctuation. Avoid using personal information such as birthdays, family or pet names, and especially something like 1234567 or the word ‘password’ or other common words. Updating your passwords at least every six months will increase the level of protection on your accounts. Use different passwords across different accounts. That way, if someone does get into your social media account, you’re not also handing them the keys to your online banking. Ensure the email address you log in with also has a secure password. Having a bullet-proof password for your Facebook and other social media accounts is useless if the password for the associated email is the name of your cat. 2. Password protect both accounts and devices Some people don’t want to be bothered with having to enter a pass code every time they log onto their device or into their social media account, but this is one of the best ways to protect yourself from hackers. Be sure to have password protection on all your internet-enabled devices, especially if you share devices with others or regularly take them to public places, such as cafes and on public transport. Make use of the pass code setting that’s available on most phones, which is usually a set of numbers or a particular swipe pattern. Accidentally leaving your device behind is bad enough, but then having someone else find and keep it, giving them unrestricted access to your personal info, including your social media accounts, is the start of a nightmare. If you use public WiFi then be aware that hackers can even access your device from a distance. You can add an extra layer of protection by installing a free browser extension like ‘HTTPS Everywhere’ to switch most websites when browsing from HTTP (unsecured) to HTTPS (secured). 3.  Install antivirus and security software Having antivirus and security software on your mobile devices and computers is the best defense against viruses, malware and other online threats. Make sure that you download the latest software updates to keep up with current threats. 4.  Cover your tracks when using public computers If you use a public computer to post to social media – perhaps a public library, internet café or a friend’s computer – then you need to take certain steps to keep your accounts safe. Use the ‘Browse privately’ option to access your social media accounts. Never click the ‘Save password or login information’ if prompted. Delete your browsing history. Always remember to log out of your social media accounts once you’re done using them. 5.  Avoid suspicious links An important factor in protecting your social media accounts and your online presence is knowing how to identify threats, especially through links in emails, tweets, posts and online advertising. Hackers can gain access to your account through phishing scams or by tricking you into clicking on a link, which then downloads malware to your computer, giving the bad guys access to all your information. Some of the red flags to look out for are things like shortened URLs, posts that don’t sound like your friend or colleague – especially when they’re asking you to click on a link to see something ‘amazing’ – and emails from friends that aren’t personally addressed to you or that aren’t signed with their name. If something looks suspicious to you, even if you know the source, the safest option is simply to delete it. A good tip is to avoid using your work email addresses for social media accounts. It’s far harder for someone to guess a secondary email than it is to find your main work email, which may actually be posted on your company’s contact page. 6. Check what you’re signing up for When signing up for an app, think before you hit the ‘Accept’ button – and be sure to read what you’re agreeing to allow the app to do before you download. Does it want to know your location? Access your contacts? Post on your behalf? Might all sound harmless, but these are ways others can tap into your account and steal your information. It is always recommended to use app stores such as iTunes where pre-scanning and testing is used before apps become available to the general public. 7. Manage the privacy settings on your accounts It’s essential that you learn about and use the privacy and security settings on all the social networks you use. These settings help you securely manage your online experience, and control who sees what you post from your account. Facebook Security, consider how many of your friends profiles have been comprimised. 8. Turn off location tracking We’re constantly giving away our location information. Certain social platforms store and share this information, which can be very handy to people with not-so-nice intentions. Did you know that if you used your phone, with location tracking switched on, to take some pics at a mate’s party, and then posted those pics online, anyone who clicks on those pics can see where the house where you took those pics is located? Certain apps recommend having location services enabled, but many don’t require it in order to work properly. Be sure to go to ‘Settings’ on your mobile device and turn off ‘Location’ for your device and all your apps that don’t need location to be active in order for them to work properly. 9.  Use a 2-step verification system In the case of certain social media platforms, you can establish a 2-step verification system when logging into your account. Security on Facebook provides you with this option. When you log into your account you first have to type in the right password and then enter a verification code that is sent to your mobile phone. 10. Get alerts to suspicious activity You can install an intrusion detection app, such as ‘LogDog’. This app acts like a 24-hour-a-day watchdog, checking for suspicious activity and unauthorized access to your online accounts, and sending an alert to your phone so you can take back control of compromised accounts. 11. Use a password manager The passwords to your social media account(s) are what stand between you and the bad guys. If your social media accounts get hacked, the reputation of your business may be harmed. Be sure to create strong passwords and modify them often. A tool like 1Password will make it easier to protect your passwords, and it stores them in an encrypted ‘vault’. It will automatically create long, hack-proof passwords for all your accounts – then all you have to do is remember one main password. When you plug in that password, 1Password will automatically log you into your social media accounts. Pretty much impossible for hackers to figure out and virtually impossible for you to forget. 12.  Control access to your social media accounts The more people who have access to your company’s social media accounts, the greater the risk. All it takes is one employee leaving their password out, and your entire account can be compromised. This is why you should not give out actual login credentials to employees. Using a social media management tool like Hootsuite can help you avoid this. In this way, you give employees access to the social media account without having them know the actual password for the account. In summary, to protect your Facebook security and social media accounts, remember these basic rules: Password protect your accounts and your devices Install antivirus and security software Be careful when using public computers Be alert to phishing attempts and similar scams Check the apps that you’re downloading Manage your privacy settings Turn of location tracking Use a 2-step verification system Get alerts on suspicious activity Use a password manager "TIP from Cathy Mellett": A new message. It is an email showing an invoice for $42 for an app “I bought”. The sender has kindly provided me with a click here to cancel the order link. Supposedly, this is to cancel the order on my itunes account. Be aware, before clicking on links. Is this an email you were expecting, is there something that you have knowingly done online to precede receiving generation of such a communication. If in doubt, do not proceed and move the email or communication to spam.

Use a media kit to generate publicity  (PR) for your business Until relatively recently, media or press kits were something that only mattered in the world of big corporations and print magazines. Now, the media kit is a key sales tool for small (and not so small) businesses and bloggers. It’s an extremely valuable way for businesses to make it easy for others to talk about them. Getting your business or product talked about in other publications or websites can have huge implications for exposure and driving traffic to your business. In addition to the potential sales that can be generated, getting mentioned in the right way adds heaps of kudos to your business. What’s a media kit and how do you create a media kit? A media kit is basically a document that businesses use to promote themselves and / or sell their services to potential clients. Magazines use media kits to sell spots to advertisers, bloggers use them to sell sponsored posts and brand collaborations, and service-based businesses, such as wedding photographers, landscape and other designers, and event organizers, use them to promote their service packages. A media kit contains information and resources about your business. It gives anyone who wants to talk about or promote your business the means to quickly learn about your business, product and brand, and access photos and marketing materials they can use in their own content. The media kit covers everything from who you are to details about your products, services and processes. It can be the small business’ best friend because it conveys a level of professionalism and information on your behalf when you can’t be there in person. In the blogger realm A media kit is the Number One thing that will make the professional blogger stand out to potential blog sponsors and convince them your blog is the right investment for their advertising dollars. As a document that outlines the key facts and statistics about your blog, it’s an amazing tool for communicating with sponsors, and it shows them that you know what you’re doing. It will also help weed out businesses who really wouldn’t be a good match for your blog. Generally, you provide the media kit to potential advertisers or brands with whom you want to collaborate. It tells their marketers all about your blog, from the topics you write about to how many followers you have on the various social media channels. Typically, it also lists collaboration options and prices for the services you offer. Make it easily accessible The media kit should be easily accessible on your website – put a link to it in your main navigation and / or in the footer of your website. Set it up as a PDF document so it can be easily printed out for in-person meetings or attached to email correspondence. Having all this in one document can help cut down on email correspondence tremendously. What’s in a media kit? (Remember, this is usually a PDF document for others to download and / or print out.) 8 things to include in your press kit. 1. The story of the business: Explain how the business started and what it does – how many customers it serves; how long it has been in business; how many units it sells; where it’s located; where the product is manufactured; and so on. Explain its ‘mission’ – or what the business stands for. This is a good way to differentiate the business from the competition. Explaining what makes the business ‘unique’ is particularly good when it comes to small businesses. Customers have a wide range of – differentiation helps them choose your business. 2. Notable clients and testimonials: Potential clients want to know they’re making a sound decision in choosing your business. If they don’t have any mutual friends that have dealt with you, the next best thing is a list of clients who have – plus testimonials from clients and customers. You can talk all day about how wonderful your business is. But getting other people to promote you is priceless. It’s not that others say things you can’t say yourself – it just means more coming from them. Talk also about any awards or recognition received, plus any charities the business has been involved with or any pro bono work it has done. 3. Statistics: If you’re offering a service where your statistics are of particular importance, include these. While stats might not paint the whole picture, they give an idea of the size of your audience and reach. Talk about your subscribers (social media), monthly page views / unique visitors, demographics about your customers (e.g. age range and gender). 4. Processes: Do you usually follow a set process? For example, event organizers and wedding photographers usually have a specific process they’ve honed to deliver a consistent outcome. The media kit is a great place to outline this so customers understand what goes into your work. 5. Services offered and rates: Clearly list all services and give base-level pricing, i.e. say “starting at…” and an outline of what the client receives. Highlight any specific types of services or activities you particularly like to focus on. Being upfront about services and base rates enables clients to make an informed decision. Later, when they’re ready to work with you, you can get down to the customised quote. 6. Frequently asked questions: If you find you repeatedly get asked the same questions, then having an FAQ section in your media kit can alleviate some of the basic email chat that comes with new enquiries. 7. Relevant graphic material: Provide high-quality, high-resolution graphics, such as high-resolution images of your logo, to make it easy for publishers to use in their promotional material. Provide links to other articles or press coverage about your business. These can be blog posts, interviews, magazine articles, press releases, and articles on other websites. This gives people interested in talking about your business something more to work off. 8. Contact information: Provide clear instructions about how to get in touch with you! Proofread. Edit. Review your media kit. Once you’re happy with your media kit, put it aside for a few days, then go over it again with fresh eyes. Make sure it’s perfect. Remember, this document represents your business and conveys information on your behalf when you can’t be there in person. So make it count. The purpose of your media kit may also evolve and shift over time. Review it periodically and update it where necessary. We hope you found this information useful.

This is important not only for better rankings but also for successful internet marketing. Every campaign starts from the website and if your website is not optimized for both search engines and users, you have less chance of success. It’s amazing how many websites today are still not optimized for search engines. Despite all the information about SEO, many website owners still believe it’s not worth even doing SEO. If you are running a website for a small business and you need to get local customers searching for various terms on Google that will link them to you, then SEO is critical. You have to ‘speak’ the language of search engines: Search engines are only software that understand a particular language. The goal with SEO is to help them understand what you website is about. But never forget that your primary target is to keep your users happy. Our 5 SEO Tips and Tactics. 1. Content comes first SEO Tip. A website with bad content will not survive with or without SEO. A website with good content can become even better with SEO. Good content is all about original articles, images, videos, presentations, and so on. Make sure your content is published on your website first (if you’ve published it on another website already, then it’s no longer original). Content must be well-researched and fresh, with new stuff appearing frequently. It must be useful and add value to your website and for your readers – readers are not interested in quickly prepared posts and neither are search engines. Longer articles are proving to rank better than short articles. In the past you could write short content (400 words or less) aimed it a specific keyword and you’d get it ranked in the search engines. Search engines (e.g. Google) is now showing a preference for longer, more substantial content that covers a topic thoroughly. SEO Tactic: According to recent research, the best ranking pages average around 1300 words. If you want your content to get good rankings, make sure it covers the topic properly – dig into the topic, cover off both sides of an argument and present new insights. 2. Use more words relevant to your topic Keywords in your title tag, headers and content are important, but search engines (e.g. Google) now want to see you’re using a variety of relevant words and terms in your content. Here we specifically mean those ‘other’ related words that a writer would naturally include if they were covering a topic properly. For example, if you’re writing about landscape design, you’ll naturally include words like garden, design, hard-scaping, soft-scaping, season, etc. Check out a keyword tool like Ubersuggest for ideas and suggestions about including related words and terms for your topic. 3. Structure – URLs and page titles, description and formatting When search engines read your website pages, their check includes things like the URL, the page title, the description of the page, the major headings and images. They do this to understand what the page is all about before they can give it a position in their index. URL: The URLs are your pages’ permanent links. The structure of the URL is an important part of SEO. • An example of a good URL is: https://www.netbranding.co.nz/seo-tips-for-beginners-15-ways-to-google-boost-your-web-site/ • An example of a not so good URL is: https://www.netbranding.co.nz/seotipsforbeginners/ Page title: Give each page a unique title to help search engines and searchers understand what the page is about. Page description: This is what the searcher will see in the search engine results page. So it has to be descriptive and unique for each page. It’s a way to advertise the page and convince the searcher to click the link to your website rather than go with one of the others. Page formatting: A page needs to be properly formatted. Think of it as a report that needs to have a main heading (H1), sub-headings (H2) and sub-sub-headings (H3, H4, etc). These ‘heading tags’ tell search engines and readers what your content is about. In your page’s HTML a header tag will look something like this: Why you need this product H1: Each page should have only one H1 tag. It will usually be the title of your page. H2: The H2 tags are sub-headings used to break content into manageable chunks. They tell search engines about the main topics on the page and help readers understand the progression of the content. H3, H4, etc: These are sub-sub-headings. The H1 and H2 tags are where the focus of the content should be, but longer articles will benefit by using these further sub-headings. Readability: Structure your content so it’s easily scanned. Elements like buttons, menus and lists (bulleted and/or numbered) are great for improving the user experience and can have a significant impact on rankings. In addition to structuring the content properly, make sure it’s readable by using a good size font (at least 12pt) and split the text into small paragraphs (4 to 5 lines max per paragraph). Images: Visual material is good but they must not increase the loading time of the website. Optimise the size of the images. Use original images. If you need to use an existing image from the web, reference the source. Describe in words what they are all about. This helps search engines understand what the image is about. 4. Internal links The first thing a search engine spider will do when it visits your website is follow any links it finds. So linking to pages within your website is like building your own web. When a search engine spider arrives at your page, if you don’t have any other links within the text it will read your page and go. If you have links pointing to other pages within your website, it will take those into account. It’s also a way to tell search engines which pages are you most important ones. It also increases the time a reader will spend on your website. Someone who is reading your content is more likely to click on a link to read more, thereby visiting more of your pages and spending more time on your site. 5. Be mobile-friendl Many of the visitors to your website will be doing so via their mobile device while ‘on the go’. Google has recently moved to making a website’s mobile-friendliness a factor in its rankings. Sites that aren’t mobile-friendly will find it very difficult to get a rank in a mobile search. Use Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test to check whether your website is mobile-friendly. If it’s not optimized for mobile devices, think about making the change to a site with the requisite mobile responsiveness. If you are new to SEO or simply don’t have the time to deal with website optimization, you can always hire a trusted SEO firm to do the work for you.

Digital marketing statistics from the week that was. 'Digital marketing' - first used as a term back in the 1990s. But wow has it changed over time ... So what does digital marketing include (and I am sure there are many other things that can be added in under this umbrella term)? Digital marketing activities are search engine optimization (SEO), search engine marketing (SEM), optimised content marketing, campaign marketing, and e-commerce marketing, social media marketing, e-mail marketing and display advertising. But what are the online marketing trends? Is this online thing really hype or the current reality? We've compiled a snippet of current digital marketing statistic for review. Our Net Branding 10 top digital marketing statistics Pew Research has found that 54% of Twitter users tweeted about current news during a recent 4-week study. HookLogic and Market Tree revealed that of 600 consumers, 46% of them had made a purchase via a smartphone / mobile. That is almost half of online consumers! Between June 2013 and June 2015 a Wall Street report found that the time consumers spent with digital media on a smartphone grew by 90%. But wait... 56% of smartphone users abandoned a transaction on their mobile device. Ashley Madison has drawn much attention over the last weeks but did you know that its digital chatter around the brand has increased by 666 % and is growing daily. In a RadiumOne survey of 1,452 adults, it was identified that 82 percent of back-to-school shoppers shared their purchase on Facebook. Facebook continues to dominate the global social media scene, claiming 1.366 billion active users (probably a few hoax accounts included in this mix) in January 2015. 83% of this total user count now access the service through mobile devices.

The Facebook feature, first spotted by The Verge, is similar to LinkedIn's capabilities to "tag" users on the site with job-related terms. Facebook has confirmed that this Facebook feature is currently being tested in New Zealand. “We're testing a new Facebook feature called profile tags," a spokesperson said. "Created by a small team as part of a Facebook hackathon, profile tags are a creative tool that lets you and your friends add tags to your profile to highlight the things that describe you and what you're into. You can control what tags are shown on your own profile.” For the small group of New Zealand Facebook users with access to the LinkedIn type tool, a user can visit a friend's profile page and "tag" them with a word, phrase or even emoji. Facebook Users, who are notified of the "tag", are then able to either approve or decline it.  As you would expect, approved tags will show up publicly on your personal profile page, and eventually they'll appear in order of how many Likes they receive by others. This feature is in test and may never be rolled out to other worldwide Facebook users.  The testing of features is common as Facebook tests new features for acceptance and appeal. To talk to Net Branding about your Online and Digital Marketing ### To social media, digital marketing and beyond ... Mining your photos on social media for information Every minute, the world’s 2 billion Internet users upload staggering volumes of data to the web: an estimated 200 billion emails, 48 hours of YouTube videos, 684,478 posts on Facebook. And then there’s Tweets, Instagram photos, text messages and blog posts. Social media, digital marketing and online marketing where not even considered valid terms 10 or 15 years ago. So let's explore where new trends may take this new set of business marketing strategies. To social media, digital marketing and beyond ... Until now, marketers who have used social media have focused their attention more on text than on images. The main reason for this is simply that text has been searchable. But with APIs (application program interface) getting better at scanning visual content like photos and working out what’s in them, images are also becoming searchable. This means that marketers will soon have a whole new box of toys to play with. We are only just realising that millions of images uploaded every day to digital platforms are literal treasure troves of useful information. APIs are now capable of analysing images to extract certain information that can be cross-referenced to build a very informative picture of consumer behaviour and brand sentiment. For example: A group of hikers pose along the trail for a photo. As soon as the photo is shared on Facebook, a logo recognition API gets busy picking up the Nike tick on a jacket, the Swatch on a wrist, the New Balance sneakers, the can of Sprite in someone’s hand. Social media platforms naturally provide the level and volume of data that these APIs need. Add this to facial recognition software that can analyse the expressions on people’s faces, and, by inference, their mood and level of engagement. What you end up with is some truly powerful information – data that will help brands profile customers and refine marketing strategies. Ignoring for the moment the questions that this raises about privacy and ethical use of data, such timely and textured information could be the holy grail for marketers. It also highlights the importance of brand and logo visibility on consumer products. Already, big name brands are using image scanning technology to fine-tune their reach, communicate with people already engaged with their brand, and find ways to appeal to new customers. APIs are also capable of capturing the social setting in a photo. Using common visual cues, they can tell whether the photo was taken at a party, at work, at home or at an event. For all we know we may soon be at the stage where image recognition overtakes searchable text in terms of relevance. A new online language Who hasn’t used an emoji in a text? Anyone? Anyone? The increasing use of emojis to communicate has been likened to the rise of a new, universal language. One that uses simple emblems to encapsulate coded messages with deep psychological meaning. In the same way that texting, and using text abbreviations, eventually became the preferred method of mobile-to-mobile communication, so the use of emojis could even be starting to put the squeeze on text itself. Picture this: It’s 27 degrees outside, so you send a friend a text with a picture of an ice cream cone and a smiley face wearing sunglasses. In isolation, this example probably means absolutely nothing to an online marketer. But apply a clever algorithm to tons of similar data and it’s more than likely some or other clear pattern will emerge. The success of online marketing hinges on understanding change, within our culture and our everyday lives, and following those changes to meet our customers’ needs and desires. Giant online supermarkets Recently, Pinterest, the world’s largest mood board became a giant online supermarket, full of shop-able pins. At the same time, Instagram has started rolling out shop-able ads. This shift from a purely social to a transactional model happened startlingly quickly. It presents online marketers not only with opportunities to present their products and services for viewing, but also to sell them directly, click-by-click, to a global audience through an increasing array of ‘outlets’ where visual content takes centre stage. This should not, however, be misinterpreted as a green light to crudely try to press consumers’ ‘buying buttons’ by using appealing pictures. Modern consumers are way too street-wise and very resistant to anything they see as aggressive or manipulative. They still want choice and control – even if it’s only the perception of choice and control. And they want quality products and a seamless, almost transparent, brand experience. Deliver what customers want, where they want it and when they want it It’s crucial that brands reach people where they’re consuming content. Research shows that the TV is bowing out to tablets and smart phones. Less than a generation ago, there would have been one or two TV screens in a household with specific broadcasts airing at specific times. Today, most homes have numerous screens of varying shapes and sizes delivering what viewers want, when they want it. It’s no longer just about the screen and moving images, it’s about being connected, knowing you’re connected, and having the ability to interact. As one person put it: “iPads are cool; TV isn’t that good, because you can’t control it.” The new generations want swipeable, tappable control and digital marketing and social media is keeping up with the pace. Online marketers now have to think about ‘interactivity’ and ‘cross platform’, both in terms of the devices they target and the context of their online marketing. The evolution of the digital, interconnected marketplace is driving online content to be more visual. However, using images to appeal is not something new. What made an attractive print advert 100 years ago follows the same principles as a successful video on a Facebook page toda Make it beautiful, make it appeal to emotion, make it useful. What is new, is how changes in behaviours and technology are driving how best to communicate with these images. Brands that give priority to doing so will have the upper hand – those that don’t won’t be seen. Related Articles: Visual is vital when it comes to Content Marketing. ### Visual is vital in content marketing and words are an online must have When it comes to online content, visual is vital Did you know that as soon as you open your eyes, around 70 percent of your brain’s activity is dedicated to what you see? This fact is well-known to online marketers as they battle for the attention of consumers.  So how important is it to include visuals within your content marketing strategy?  Lets explore... Did you also know that every day, about two billion photos are uploaded to digital platforms, such as Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram? This gives marketers with the right tools a rich sea of data they can trawl for meaning, to help inform and shape their sales campaigns. So, if the visual medium is so dominant, what does this mean for content and online marketing? And how does text, which is also a visual form, fit into the mix? Is it a matter of words vs pictures, or do they complement one another? One crucial point is understanding how the brain deals with text versus pictures. The brain absorbs images quite passively, whereas it has to work a lot harder to make sense of words. That’s why a child takes longer to learn to read than to recognize shapes. Pictures have a much more direct, and faster, impact on the brain than strings of letters and words, which first need to be decoded. However, the really interesting thing is that communication using pictures only is far weaker than communication using pictures and words together. For example, Facebook posts that contain images account for 90% of viewer engagement. Posts without images, unless they are personal to the viewer, are ignored. First, the image attracts the viewer’s attention, and then the text engages then. In that order. For marketers wanting to make a sudden impact, words are important but images are vital, and this goes some way to explaining why YouTube is the second largest search engine after Google. Content marketing | online marketing and the rise of video Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said that, ‘People are gaining the power to share in richer and richer ways. We used to share with text and now we post mainly with photos. In the future, video will be even more important.’Case in point – according to Cisco, around 70 percent of online consumer traffic will consist of video by 2017. However, don’t let Zuckerberg’s statement lead you down the wrong garden path. He is not saying that one type of communication is better than the other, or that it should be used to the exclusion of all other forms. He is merely dissecting the hierarchical layers of content. What is important is knowing which form is the most useful for communicating within a specific context. For example, who wouldn’t rather watch a YouTube video about how to install a new printer, than have to plod through a densely printed manual? When it comes to doing, showing is more effective than writing how to, FACT: A year’s worth of YouTube videos are watched on Facebook every day. YouTube gets around a billion unique visitors each month, and a further billion mobile views take place each day. So it’s easy to understand why 70% of marketers believe that videos will be central to their brand strategies. Powerful images are the marketer’s greatest asset. Video in particular is becoming increasingly adept at appealing to more subtle human emotions, not to sell per se, but to generate brand empathy, which engenders loyalty. Marketers will use video more as a hook to draw in frustrated consumers, then funnel them toward genuinely useful content, and a stimulating brand experience. Many online marketers have simply reacted to the arrival of new visual routes to market by rehashing old content and plastering it over every digital platform available to them. However, in a digital world overflowing with content, consumers crave quality. So simply rehashing old, stale material to give it a slightly different look is a no-no. As any new platforms gains traction, marketers will need to build a fresh presence with new ingredients and a different twist. Beyond video, we can see how important images are  and we should remember that first the image attracts the viewer’s attention, and then the text engages then.

Funnel Marketing: The ‘purchasing funnel’ is a traditional marketing model. It described the stages that a consumer  is coerced towards buying a product or service. Marketers used the funnel metaphor as a simplified way to visualise touch points in the consumer journey. According to the traditional model, the journey followed roughly four basic linear stages:- awareness, interest, desire and action. Consumers, start at the wide end of the funnel, with many products or brands in mind.   Then gradually narrowing them down to a final choice. Traditionally, marketers used push marketing at certain points along the funnel to build customer awareness, trigger consideration and finally drive the action that would result in the purchase. Along came the Internet and upended how consumers engage with brands and make the old way of marketing unsustainable. Why is funnel marketing so important. Up to 90% of the buyer’s journey is complete before a prospect even reaches out to a salesperson. So what are the areas of this sales funnel that we should consider? Funnel Marketing | REACH within the new sales funnel This is where marketers actually “reach” their target audience with brand messages. Consumers ARE spending more time conducting independent and anonymous research. They ARE carefully evaluating information before reaching out to a solutions provider. The goal here is to convey - what your company does, why your products are unique, and why prospects should care about your company. Funnel Marketing | NURTURE within the new sale funnel This is where marketers “nurture” prospects. People who have expressed an interest in their product or service. New technologies and new thinking have definitely expanded then current concept of nurturing. Your goal as a marketer is to give them the tools and resources to educate your consumer. Tell them about your solution. How can it assist them?  Remember to include planned calls to actions!  Steps that will help them find the most relevant information. Tell them about your solution or product. Tell them how can it assist them. As already mentioned, include the all important - planned calls to action. Steps that will help them find the most relevant information on their path to the important sale. The ultimate goal is to ACQUIRE. FACT: Marketers can no longer simply invest in traditional marketing channels. Mediums such as direct mail, trade shows, and vertical industry magazines. This is no longer enough to prompt new calls from prospects. How does Content Marketing fit into Funnel Marketing? Content marketing is a definite funnel tactic. In the top of the marketing funnel  and includes things such as relevant blog posts or LinkedIn content updates. This form of information helps to establish either yourself or your brand as knowledgeable and helpful. In the lower funnel (NURTURE), whitepapers and videos can educate and engage your prospects. Where does Social Media fit into the marketing funnel? In today’s social media age, the buying process is no longer linear. Consumers don’t just enter at the top of the funnel; instead, they come in at any stage. Think of items recommended on a website, discovered in a tweet, Facebook post or on a  Pinterest board. With a simple click, you can add them to your shopping cart. Moving a consumer straight from awareness to interest, desire and buy - all within only a few seconds. Consumers are more informed, connected and empowered. Bombarded by social media and swamped with multiple choices. They often reduce the number of products they consider at the outset. Recommendations from friends have always been important. But these recommendations spread quicker, faster and further at every stage in the funnel. Increasingly, the decision on what to buy, fueled as a result of advocates of products. People who share their experience in a multitude of ways, pulling in new customers. What’s more, you no longer even have to be a customer to be an advocate of a product or brand. But when does the marketing sales funnel end? Brands not only have to create repeat customers - they also have to create customers who will be brand ambassadors. Customers willing to vouch for them online on social media. Did you know that research shows that more than 70% of online shoppers consult ratings or reviews before they make a purchase? It is now more important than ever that your sales funnel extend beyond the sale. Moving social media leads into the sale funnel. Social media enables you to reach potential buyers. But now you can touch a consumer earlier than you would have been able to do so in the traditional sales process. But what's the catch? Online consumers tend to be fairly lazy – if they have to do too much work to be able to buy, they won’t. Here are two tips to help ensure people who connect with you via social media become customers. Online marketing Purchase Tip 1: Have conversion points in your social media sites. If a potential buyer finds your Facebook page but cannot find your website easily. Or reaches your website but cannot work out how to buy your product. The chances are they won’t bother any further and that opportunity is lost. Success in social media relies on sharing strong content on social networks. Often your blog or news is the natural place for this sort of content. So consider the potential value of this content if you include a call to action. This conversion point or call to action in your blog will, in fact, turn every blog post into a valuable website landing page. Online marketing Purchase Tip 2: Garner social media soft leads. Soft leads are people who are willing to give you their email address. All in exchange for valuable or relevant content, i.e. they become email subscribers. These people are valuable. Why? They’re saying they’re interested in your content, just not your product, yet. How can you use this information? You can then use e-mail marketing campaigns to build on their trust. Providing valuable information and decision-making content to ultimately convert this soft lead into a potential buyer. So what does our new Funnel Marketing in the digital age look like? A potential full funnel marketing plan might look like this: Reach Funnel Marketing: Display advertising Videos Public relations Social media engagement Website Design and Development Blog content generation Nurture Funnel Marketing: Display advertising Gated content offers Webinars Website Design and Develpment Social media advertising Search engine marketing (SEO) Email marketing In Summary Do not over focus on the lower aspects of your funnel marketing. Invest in awareness and other reach funnel tactics to ensure your funnel is full of prospects. People who will be ready to buy in a year, 18 months, or two years from now.

Social Media, everyone is talking about it, and businesses are trying their luck but what are the benefits and what are the social media sceptics saying? Social Media Sceptic Myth 1 – Email is all I need! Email and bulk mail-outs have traditionally been used as the preferred way of distributing content. However the open rates are usually between 12-20 percent, depending on the particular industry. Social media offers a great alternative channel to traditional email. A method for distributing content and information to specific targeted audience. Social Media Sceptic Myth 2 - Social Media is for those young ones! Based on many recent studies there is a rise of online use across multiple generations and multiple social media sites. So absence may be an indication to your customers that your business services or product offerings may not be up with the state of play. Who would want that? Social Media Sceptic Myth 3 - Become your own PR Agency. The biggest reason you should not ignore social media is - it's reached. A medium that allows you to share instantly, your valuable message public with a wider audience. There is no longer the need for lengthy channels of media sharing and reporters. You can do it yourself. At the very least, social media marketing will help drive traffic to your site and increase brand awareness. Targeting, reaching and sharing your valuable news online, a modern day PR role within your company. Social Media Sceptic Myth 4 - But isn't website is enough! These days, it isn’t enough to have a website for your business – your digital presence extends to social media marketing sites like Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and Twitter. It’s time to start capitalising on it. If your company still doesn’t have a Linkedin account or a Facebook business page, it’s time to get with this age and bring yourself up to speed. Or worse yet, risk falling behind your competition. Social Media Sceptic Myth 5 – No one will read my message. As Social Media networks are social environments and not business tools, people will more readily perceive your information as news and not content intended for self-promotion or online advertising. Social Media Sceptic Myth 6 – People won’t look for me on social networking sites! Your digital presence is not limited to just your website. Your Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn profiles all represent your business online. In fact, some may even say that your business’ Google results (or lack of results) all constitute valuable elements of your digital presence. Consumers expect businesses to have Facebook and Twitter accounts. Besides, consumers expect to be able to use them to get in touch with company representatives if required.

Based on our daily discussions with potential clients we know that few companies have developed an integrated online marketing strategy. When it comes to their online presence, they are throwing their hands up in despair. Cathy Mellett, Director of Net Branding, has worked within the IT industry for over 30 years. A large part of this background involved extensive IT development, methodology and process experience. So when it came to the online world of internet marketing, her natural instinct was that this should be no different. An integrated inbound marketing methodology is essential. It retains some element of control over the message and the tools/sites used for online marketing. Cathy has over 8 years of solid Social Media Strategy under her belt. She knows that her team have a tried and test tested online marketing process, used across all client accounts. Tips to kick-start your online marketing strategy. Tip 1: Know Your Market Have you developed a clear understanding of who your target audience is? Where are they located, what are their interests, what social sites are they on and how do they use the internet? Tip 2: Consistent Visual Identity Is your visual identity consistent across all chosen platforms? Everything should look as if it has come from the same company. Tip 3: Maximise content use Use every piece of content you have developed in as many places as possible. Tip 4: Integrate your message Your message should funnel the sought after traffic to your ultimate target. This is your call to action, leading to your phone, your contact us page, or your email subscription page. Tip 5: Align your message across media streams If you have outsourced your online presence to multiple parties, make sure they operate in sync. Is your content aligned within the various media streams? Is there someone, in-house or external tasked with the monitor and co-ordination of their efforts. Tip 6: Track your results. Tip 7: Your website is a hub, not a loud speaker. Far too many businesses think about their websites as broadcast channels for addressing a large group of people. Your website functions best when its content and design are custom built with a human touch. Instead of writing copy to impress your competitors, create copy and experiences an individual customer will love. Cathy Mellett is a regular speaker at local online marketing and training events. She runs a digital inbound marketing firm that focuses on helping New Zealand businesses develop an integrated inbound marketing presence that works.

To answer that, there’s another question we need to ask, which is: How many Kiwis use Facebook? Well the New Zealand stats are out for the first time: Two and a half million kiwis use Facebook every month. That’s a staggering amount, when you consider the total population of the country currently sits at 4 and half million. Spencer Bailey, Head of Facebook New Zealand, announced these figures on 22 April. Typically Facebook only releases statistical breakdowns for larger markets and New Zealand has historically been included with Australian statistics, but due to expanded Facebook investment in New Zealand, we were given a snapshot. During the presentation, attended by about a dozen representatives from digital media organisations, the presentation showed 1.9 million New Zealanders used Facebook each day, on an average of 14 times per day. Findings also showed that the overall female proportion has slightly decreased to 54.3%, male numbers increased to 45.7%  Average user range is in the age group between 18-24 and 25-34. Facebook ranks on third position in New Zealand now, behind google.co.nz and google.com. YouTube is at fourth position, and Trademe.co.nz at fifth. On average, women spend approximately 4 hours on Facebook per week, and men approximately 3 hours per week. With such an increase in the numbers of people with Facebook accounts, the opportunities for digital marketing are huge. Audience targeting options are now available for Facebook advertising, e.g. we are now able to target on behalf of interests, behaviours and connections. Facebook also offers a ‘More Demographics’ section which enables us to refine targeting (unfortunately much of the detail of these options is only available in the US but this changes regularly). Facebook has become a strong community for New Zealanders, and because of its reach, is a very effective and affordable mechanism for online advertising. When placing an ad you’re provided with results options such as page post engagement, page likes, clicks to a website, and many more. Advertising in this way is effective because the target group can be very specifically narrowed down. Facebook is definitely here to stay, and a missed opportunity for those who don’t yet have a presence.

If something should happen to that website – for example, someone makes it inaccessible to your customers or compromises its integrity – then your business could suffer serious, even irreparable harm. Once a hacker gets into your website, the damage they do might even be invisible to everyone, including yourself. In some cases, only a specialist will be able to discern that some malicious so-and-so has been mucking about in your website. Think of a hacker as a burglar of websites. We all know that no property is burgle-proof against a truly determined burglar. The same holds true for websites and hackers. If a hacker really wants to get into your website they will. So the best course of action is to accept the likelihood of a breach and take steps to minimise the risk of it happening in the first place as well as limit the fall-out to your business if (or when) it does happen. What steps can you take to prevent a hacker from accessing your website? Any system, irrespective of whether it is state of the art, bespoke or open source, will be insecure if it is not maintained properly. All websites, regardless of the technology used to build them, are targets for hackers, and they all have the potential to be vulnerable – even the websites of big names, such as Google, AOL, Facebook and Sony, have had to endure the red face of being hacked. Hackers often target open-source content management systems (CMS) – Wordpress is one such CMS. This doesn’t mean Wordpress or similar CMSs are unreliable; it simply reflects the sheer number of websites built using these systems. And because they are open source and easier to work with, lots of non-specialised people use them to build their websites, then don’t have the expertise to make them secure enough. This doesn’t mean Wordpress or similar CMSs are unreliable; it simply reflects the sheer number of websites built using these systems. And because they are open source and easier to work with, lots of non-specialised people use them to build their websites, then don’t have the expertise to make them secure enough. All scary stuff, that’s for sure. But that doesn’t mean you need to run and hide. How can you reduce the risk of being hacked? The first place to start is to get inside the mind of the hacker itself – look at why they do it. That can give clues as to how they will go about their dastardly deeds, which, in turn, will provide hints for what you can do to deal with them. So what’s in it for the hacker? Many do it simply for the fun of it – like taggers defacing someone else’s property – pure and simple vandalism. Straightforward theft. They steal your intellectual property – either your software’s source code or your entire site structure, which they use elsewhere. Saves them the time and money to develop their own. Money (it always comes back to that sooner or later doesn’t it!?). They steal information, such as your customer passwords or credit card information. Or they become pirates, taking over your site and not giving you back control until you pay them. They hijack your website and use it as a vehicle to advertise their own products or to direct your customers to other sites. They hide behind your website, like Romulans out of Star Trek, using your site as their ‘cloaking device’ for bad activities, such as hiding malicious software for your unsuspecting customers to download to their own systems. This way, their bad deeds are traced back to you, not them! OK, so that’s how they get their kicks then. Now, how do they do what they do? Here are just three (there are lots more!) of the ways they can sow their seeds of destruction: Passwords. If your password practices are shoddy, you’re pretty much giving them the keys to your kingdom. Easy-to-guess user names and passwords are examples of shoddy practices. The hacker will simply attack your site with thousands of password combinations using a dictionary list of everyday words until they get it right. Software security. All software has flaws – that’s why developers constantly churn out patches to update the security of their software. Hackers also know which software has flaws and where to find them, and they work quickly. If you don’t keep up with your software provider’s latest updates, you are leaving the backdoor to your business open for any techno-crook to wander in. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. This sort of attack often makes the headlines and involves bombarding a web server with thousands or millions of requests in a short time until the server is overwhelmed and shuts down. This sort of attack can shut down a website for days and seriously compromise customer trust. Once you have unmasked the intruder to your website, it’s not simply a matter of evicting them or removing any bad stuff they might have put there. Remember, they’re burglars, and we all know of the bandits who burgled a home, then simply waited for the homeowners to buy all new stuff with the insurance money before paying them another visit to steal the whole lot again. So you have to make sure to close the gap they took advantage of in the first place. Some basic hack protection suggestions. Passwords. Make sure you use secure passwords – don’t use real words – use a combination of letters and numbers instead. Backup. Make regular backups of your website so you have something from which to recover. Otherwise, you may have to rebuild your website from scratch. It’s much quicker and cheaper to restore from a backup than to rebuild. Update. Make sure to keep all your software up to date. If your website is hosted, then the hosting company (if it’s a good one) should be keeping the server software up to date. But you must keep any software, such as your content management system (CMS), on your website up to date. WordPress and many other CMS's will tell you when you login if there are system updates available. Pay attention to these notifications and act on them immediately! Monitor. Keep an eye out for any odd activity on your site – for example, repeated incorrect login attempts from the same IP address or from different IP addresses from the same country. Security. Make security a core requirement of your website build. If your developer doesn’t know how to make your system ‘hard’ against the more common attacks, get help from a more experienced developer. If the unthinkable should happen, and your website is hacked, your business could be at risk of losing its online marketing ability.

But before we discuss the details of how to ensure your child's safety on the internet let's do some fact checking. Keeping Children Safe Online | FACT 1: The vast majority of children believe they know more about the internet than their parents, yet an astonishing 43 percent still do not know how to use the “report abuse” safety button on social networking sites. Keeping Children Safe Online | FACT 2: One in seven children admit to having bullied someone online – often to try to fit in, a poll reveals. Others claim they turned to bullying to avoid becoming a target of abuse themselves. The charity Action For Children, which commissioned the survey, said many children bully others because of problems in their own lives. As a parent, we all would like to keep children safe online - So let’s explore a few questions. 1. Why is it that within this online media, parents raise their hands in despair, admitting to our children? “You know far more than we do”. Yes they have some online skills but we as their parents and responsible adult, have life skills. 2. Do they consider who they are connecting with in any forum? Do they actually know the person? Have they met them and can they put a name and a voice to the face. If the answer to this question is, “I do not know the person!”, then the next question should be – why am I communicating with the person, and sharing information with this unknown person in an online person. If the same person arrived at the front door – would I let the person into my home? 3. The girl or boy that they have connected with from school. Do they talk to this person at school or only online? Why is there a difference? If they connect in the online world, why not in the offline world? 4. The images I’m sharing? Is this a normal behaviour that I would usually share in the public area? Do any of these questions rely on our technical knowledge? I say no, these questions that form the foundation of our parenting in the online space rely on good old common sense. Judgement based on experience and life skills and these are certainly things we CAN pass onto our children. So I urge each and every parent to not abdicate responsibility to the old excuse of “he or she understands technology far more than I do”. Don’t hand over that power to a child or teenager. Every child and teenager needs guidance and we as their parents, should be able to share our life skills with a child as they explore new grounds. We have the very skills that our children need to protect them online. So what can you do to bridge any technology gap and remove some of the murk from the digital waters? My 10 tips for keeping children safe online 1. Talk, talk and talk some more and whilst doing this, continually improve your digital knowledge. 2. Computers do not belong in bedrooms. Encourage devices to be used in central family used areas. 3. Enable safe browsing and adapt search settings. (Set search settings. https://www.google.co.nz/preferences?hl=en-NZ&fg=1) Or investigate other options that are available to manage the internet feed into your home. 4. Set online time limits and discuss acceptable and unacceptable use areas or gatherings e.g. at the dinner table. 5. Monitor their social networking and be aware of the age restrictions on these sites. Understand that no one enjoys talking to their children about unsuitable content. But even with strong internet parental controls, your children can still be exposed to unsuitable images or content. Be prepared for this and think about how, in an age appropriate way, you are able to discuss this with them in a calm fashion 6. Make Google your friend and if you do not understand something your child is talking about it, educate yourself. Google is your friend when it comes to improving your online and terminology knowledge. 7. Reward sensible online behaviour. Encourage your child to talk to you and ask for guidance or discuss problems they may encounter online. Use open ended questions to initiate the conversation – so what do your friends search for on Instagram? What are the trending Hashtags at the moment? 8. Don’t Rely Solely on ‘Parental Controls’. Once your children go to friends’ homes for a visit – those parental controls disappear. 9. Understand that any internet-connected device can have risks: mobile phones, WiFi-enabled handheld tablets and gaming devices can be used maliciously as well, so treat them as you would a computer and discuss the risks with your children. 10. Online ‘Friend’ collecting is competitive. Kids proudly talk about the number of friends they have on their social networks. Popularity is the perceived key to social image. Discuss this with your children and encourage the return to the common sense principle of life and social connections. Why would you share your holiday pictures with a complete stranger? Would I invite an unknown person into my house or worse yet meet a stranger down a dark alley? Stranger danger should be alive and encouraged within our online connections. Understanding that sometimes pressure amongst these friends is the exact risk we need to prepare our children for. Children are more daring online, insulting others, posting revealing pictures, and getting personal with people they don’t know, fuelling cyberbullying and sexting. Your children may spend a lot of time on the internet or social networking site but ultimately you are still their parent offering them love and guidance in a world that is evolving at a faster pace than any of us can comprehend. You are able to protect your children online. Trust in your instincts, start learning and keep the communication lines flowing.

On a daily basis she encourages organisations to embrace their online marketing opportunities yet she is fully aware of the dangers that lurk within this medium for our children.

This was a time when you didn’t find internet in every home, it wasn’t a part of our everyday life and not everybody knew how to use it. Then came the rise of the internet, and websites like Facebook, and Google took over our lives. Now we can’t imagine going a day without checking our Facebook or looking something up on Google. The internet has changed our lives completely. Everything we need, we have at our fingertips thanks to the Internet. With just one click of a button, you can shop whilst sitting at your home, you can watch any TV show, video and movie from your bedroom, you can even see your friends who live across the world and talk to them like they were in the room with you. The internet is powerful and is only going to continue to grow and improve. According to Google boss Eric Schmidt the internet will soon be so pervasive in every facet of our lives that it will effectively ‘disappear’ into the background. He said that "There will be so many sensors, so many devices, that you won’t even sense it, it will be all around you.” He further added that “It will be part of your presence all the time. Imagine you walk into a room and… you interacting with all the things in that room.” “A highly personalized, highly interactive and very interesting world emerges”, he added. This raises the question of whether the Internet and the rapid pace of technological advance was killing jobs, to which Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook said “Everyone’s worried about jobs, but tech creates jobs not only in the tech space but outside”. One of the main topics that the panel at the World Economic Forum at Davos focused on was how the fruits of global growth are being shared across the world. To which Facebook boss Sheryl Sandberg said the following. She also shared her views on how technology has given a voice to people from every corner of the world and increased connectivity. In her words: The Value of Word of Mouth The Internet has changed the way we communicate with not just our friends, family, co-workers and the people we know but also with our favorite brands. Websites like Facebook, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn and many more have removed the media filter that once used to exist between the costumer and the brand. Today, the customer is able to speak directly with brands and act as an ambassador for their favorite brands by sharing updates, ads and other details from the brand with their contacts on the internet via email, Facebook, Blogs, Google Plus and other online sharing platforms. Word of mouth has become stronger than ever and cannot be ignored anymore. Be seen, be heard, be found online. Net Branding understands that each business is different. And we appreciate that an affordable and cost-effective SEO service is an important part of many New Zealand businesses.

Running a successful Facebook page takes time, efficiency and a whole lot of strategic planning. Here is how you can make your Facebook page a standout success in 2015? 1. Set Goals Everything you do for your business, whether it is rebranding your website, building a new website, redesigning your product or posting an update on social media, is intended to help you achieve a goal. This goes for your Facebook page as well. When creating your Facebook page or a new strategy for your Facebook page make sure to set a clear set of short-term and long-term goals. Your Short-term goal and long-term goals: An online short-term goal can be anything, from increasing the likes on your page to getting more people to participate in your Facebook giveaways. Naturally there can be an incremental step of short-term goals which help you attain the your longer term goals. Your online long-term goals are usually closely aligned with your business goals. They are the objectives you set that will ultimately help you grow your business, increase brand awareness and recognition and help your brand reach its full online potential. These goals tend to focus your efforts for your online marketing actions. 2. Engage with your audience Focus on increasing the engagement on your Facebook posts by making them more interesting. Ask your audience questions, get their feedback and opinions, make them participate in fun activities on Facebook, give them something interesting to read and share or just post something that they would find funny yet relevant. Facebook boss Sandberg said the internet in its early forms was "all about anonymity" but now everyone was sharing everything and everyone was visible. "Now everyone has a voice... now everyone can post, everyone can share and that gives a voice to people who have historically not had it," she said. Responding to your audience is just as important on Facebook as sharing valuable content. Remember to always answer any questions that your Facebook fans or online audience might be asking. Thank them for any feedback they have provided. Social media has made it possible for brands and businesses to speak to their target market without any kind of media filter. A distinct element to take advantage of. 3. Showcase your work When it comes to Facebook you cannot just shamelessly promote your business and expect it to be a success. But this does not mean that you cannot showcase your work on your Facebook page. Share some of your best work with your fans while maintaining the personality and voice of your brand. This will show your fans the value in your work and place you as an expert in your industry. 4. Add a Call-to-Action Remember that each and everything that you post on Facebook has to have a clear goal. If you are sharing an insightful blog article, your goal is to increase the traffic on your website, if you are asking a question your goal is to get your fans’ opinion on something and if you are posting about your newsletter your goal would be to get more subscriptions. Each one of your Facebook posts must have a clear call to action. 5. Be Active Why is being active on social media and in particularly your activity on Facebook so important? The answer is really simple, you aren’t active, people are going to forget about you. Facebook users like new business pages every day and if you are not among one of the pages that stays active and shares interesting content regularly, you are going to get lost in the social media abyss, never to be found on your target audiences’ newsfeed again. So stay active, post regularly and interact with your fans on a weekly basis if not daily. So those were the top 5 tips that every Facebook business page should follow to be a success in 2015. If you can’t find the time to engage with your audience on a regular basis, or come up with a successful social media marketing strategy, hire an online and social media consultant . Net Branding can help you maximise your company’s online potential. Our experienced team will guide you through your online journey and help you to reach more customers and generate more business – all at an affordable cost. Give Net Branding a call today! Be Seen, Be Heard, Be Found Online with Net Branding ### Owned vs. Rented Media – A New Era for Online Marketing in 2015 Back in the early days launching a social media campaign was more about innovation than budgeting, social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter weren't financially driven. The newsfeeds typically reached a large percentage of your fans or followers and they were able to see most of the content you shared. Unfortunately this has passed. Today social media marketing, especially Facebook marketing has required us to change and actively work towards ensuring our information sharing appears in your target fans newsfeed and beyond that, seen by as wide an audience as possible. Advertising is one of the go to options to ensure extension of content reach. FACT: A recent study from Ogilvy and Mather showed that company posts reached only 12% of their followers in October 2013 and that dropped to 6% in February 2014. As if things had not changed enough, along came the Facebook’s algorithm changes in 2014. Marketers reflected on new strategies to ensure they maintained and increased the reach of their posts. So what does this mean? Is social media marketing moving away from earned content views to paid content views? The value of owned or rented online media channels, is the real question to consider. These latest changes in Facebook’s algorithm have forced online businesses to question the value of social networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google Plus as an affordable vehicle for sharing content. Let’s talk rented media first. As the owner of an online marketing company, I understand how easy it is to get lost in the whole ‘social-media-is-the-future’ hype. Yes, it is 2015 and Social Media is an extremely important part of any marketing strategy. But any business requires risk mitigation and focusing all your marketing activities on one channel is not advisable. So many times I talk to businesses who only use a Fcebook page for their online actions. Consider this, do you actually own your Facebook page? Yes or No? The answer is a resounding NO. Granted, it is your business page and you love posting updates on it every day and running new ad campaigns but are you the one controlling who does and does not see those updates or those ads? What happens if a year from now Facebook shuts down? What happens when Mark Zuckerberg decides that you must pay 10 cents for every update you post on Facebook? What happens if Facebook removed your entitlement to access your page? I am by no means providing an insight into what will happen within the Facebook platform but highlighting the fact that you as a Facebook user do not actually control that environment. Any action by Facebook may be beyond your control and sadly could result in you loosing your Facebook page and or access to your Facebook fans. This combined with the fact that you now have an advertising spend to ensure your content is seen within this social media platform confirms the fact that you do not own this channel. Facebook is who controls the platform and therefore hypothetically has the ownership stake in the ground when it comes to your business page. In a Harvard Business Review blog article published in Oct 2014 Mark Boncheck stated that "if social media were truly owned, brands would have control over the experience, access to their fans, and full use of the data. But the reality is quite different." I couldn’t agree more with his statement. It is simple... it is the owner who make the rules, not the tenants. So how can we regain some control of our online marketing destiny? The answer - owned media! What is Owned Media? Owned Media – A term that most of us use when comparing paid, earned and owned content in the online space. Owned media is the content that you have the control of i.e. your blog, website, newsletters, emails and any other form of content that you have the complete ownership of. It is now the time to return to the heady days of social media marketing when brands owned their content and engaged with their audience via websites, emails or newsletters as well as through social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and so on. What does this mean? The reason that we are focusing so much on owning your content is because sharing general content on social media is not going to cut it anymore. Instead of using rented online media space such as Facebook business pages, it is important to be more tactical and establish an integrated marketing strategy. Use your website, your newsletters, your emails and your blog to engage and build a loyal customer base through helpful and valuable content. Use these online platforms to store your valuable content. Keep using social media to its full potential and for the benefits that it provides to your business but as a rule, place your content on platforms that you have control over. Your website and your blog should be the life and blood of your Digital marketing strategy Tips. Now, the question, is how do you stand out from the crowd with owned media? It may not be as easy as creating a Facebook business page and posting regular updates on it but there are many innovative steps you can take to ensure your owned media platforms are found. Make sure to use mediums such as email marketing and news letters to share your content with your target audience. In summary, brands need to quit focusing on building just a social media strategy and come up with a more tactical online marketing plan where they can have the best of both worlds, i.e. engagement on the channels that their customers are present on but that engagement needs to lead their audience back to the brand’s owned platforms. These owned platforms are where the brand continues to tell the stories and share the content that have engaged their audience but also control the whole environment including the customer’s actions and the sales funnel. It is not about focusing on paid, earned or owned media any more but more about rented and owned media and leveraging the best results for your business by using both mediums collaboratively to obtain leads and produce results.

This article is going to simplify the understanding of Joomla! for everyone who wants to know what it is, how it works and whether it is the better choice as a content management system than Wordpress. What is Joomla? Before we dive into the details of what features Joomla offers, lets make sure that you understand exactly what Joomla! is. Joomla is an open source content management system that allows you to build websites and powerful online applications. This website software contains easy-to-use features and it is freely available to everyone. This content management system can be used on any type of websites that you are trying to build. Joomla powered websites can function in many ways. You can build a website with online web store, directories portal, customer service system, membership sites or even a blog site. Even though Wordpress dominates the world of content management Joomla too powers millions of websites. Unfortunately this decade old content management system is losing its audience for a little while now. A lot of developers refer to Joomla’s state as a fall from grace, why is that? Let’s find out! Joomla!’s Fall from Grace A few years back, there were three content management systems that were known to the world, Worpress, Drupal and Joomla!, all in the running to become the world’s leading CMS. In 2011, Wordpress became the king of CMSs and has maintained to be so since. This resulted in Joomla! becoming the second best content management system, thanks to its very loyal following. The CMS despite still having millions of users is struggling to find new converts, not to mention a lot of the ‘loyal followers’ of Joomla! have converted to Wordpress and refuse to look back. Take a look at this example from Google Trends, comparing the interest shown by users in Joomla! and Wordpress, over time: Although Joomla! has lost users and is not doing well by any standard, there are still good opportunities for the CMS and the developers that work with it. Let’s take a look at Google Trends with refined keywords and see how the demand for Joomla! extensions comes up against Wordpress plugins. It is apparent that Wordpress plugins are more in demand than Joomla! extensions, but as you can see both the queries are going more towards the downward side. What does this mean? It means that the love for plugins and extensions is fading, as more and more end users now seek a solution that is simple and at the same time scalable like SaaS or something that works just out of the box. Here’s what Hogash, author of the very popular Kallyas and Ammon Joomla themes has to say about the people who buy themes and templates for Joomla! “To be honest, Joomla is now at its peak, as product development has evolved from something great to something even greater. Not to mention there’s a strict roadmap for the next few years. The community is still active, there’s a lot of buzz going on and updates are often released, whether it’s a security release or new features”. According to Hogash, people who buy themes and templates for Joomla! are mostly freelancers and design agencies. This is good news for Joomla! as it shows that there are still buyers out there for Joomla!. These buyers are mostly made up of folks who know what they are doing and how to customize and tweak in order to get the desired results. Beginners, bootstrappers and other similar users stay aloof from Joomla! In the end I think Joomla! is definitely one of the more complex content management systems out there and while there are ways to use and stretch it to fit your web development needs it is certainly easier to search for solutions that are simpler and more rational. Joomla!, as a regular mainstream CMS, is now finding it difficult to cater to both the ends of the spectrum: the average routine user and the advanced user. Several other CMSs, on the other hand, have been lucky enough to have a specific niche underlying their base: WordPress has a blogger-like sub-section in its audience, whereas MODX lovers rely on its customizability, and so on. Joomla!, unlike the rest, has no such sub-section in its user base that has a ‘keen’ reason to stick around. In spite its limitations, Joomla! has survived so far and will continue to survive. As shown in the images above, while the Content Management System is losing in popularity to WordPress, the demand for its extensions and templates is still keeping pace with that of WordPress plugins or themes (albeit the numbers are different, obviously). This is because while people no longer flock to Joomla! as a de facto CMS of the masses, there are users who seek and use this CMS as a mainstream solution — possibly not for highly specific aims, but surely for general aims. Have you been using Joomla! as your content management system? What do you have to say about its current state? Do share your insight with us!

On a daily basis, the number of devices, platforms, and browsers that need to work with your website, grows. What is a Responsive website design? In the field of web design and website development, we are quickly getting to the point of being unable to keep up with the endless new resolutions and devices. For many websites, creating a website version for each resolution and new device would be impossible, or at least impractical.  A responsive website and responsive website design therefore represents a fundamental shift in how we build websites.

When adding new members to your Page you may elect to enhance their role within your Facebook Business Page and allocate them a particular Page admin or Page role. But how much authority are you really handing over and are you placing the control and even ongoing access too your Business Page at risk. Within Facebook, as an example, we all know that you can add a new Admin at any time from the page roles section of the settings window. There are several different admin roles that you can select.  These page admin roles allowing you to control the amount of access your new admin users will receive. What are the  five different options for Page admin access within Facebook? Below you will find  a listed of Page roles graded from most access and control to the least access and control. Admin – Can manage all aspects of the Page including sending messages and posting as the Page, creating ads, seeing which admin created a post or comment, viewing insights and assigning Page roles. Editor – Can edit the Page, send messages and post as the Page, create ads, see which admin created a post or comment, and view insights. Moderator – Can respond to and delete comments on the Page, send messages as the Page, see which admin created a post or comment, create ads, and view insights. Advertiser – Can see which admin created a post or comment, create ads and view insights. Analyst – Can see which admin created a post or comment and view insights. And finally,  you have your regular Facebook fans (which you control what they see on your page), and the non-fans (what the public can see). In years gone by you had only admins and visitors and no permissions status in-between those two user roles.  So, if you allocated someone to work on your Facebook Page within your business, you were forced to give them complete admin privileges, meaning they could then remove you as admin. This has changed so understand these roles and only allocate Facebook admin roles that the particular Facebook user requires.

Here's what our social media marketing team had to say... What is action gating?  Action-gating is a process where businesses ask for information from their social media followers, such as an email address, age, location, user feedback, etc., in exchange for a valuable piece of content, a coupon or a prize. So how does action gating work?  Consider asking a question... The easiest and quickest way to learn more about your followers is to run a promotion in which you ask your fans for a piece of relevant information in exchange for a prize.  e.g which day of the week do you prefer to eat out.  Seek their email and contact numbers.   Once you've received this information, you have valuable information that you can re-market to. In order to convert you leads, you need to be continually connecting with your audience outside of social media.  In the example above.  Let's assume that most people liked to go out with their families on a Friday night.  Which would be the best night to have a special on?  Use their email addresses provided to you as part of the competition to re-c0nnect with them. Use all opportunities available to us as New Zealand businesses.  For e.g  your website, blog, and yes in-store.   Promote the fact that by connecting with you in these audiences, you will share  the benefits your audience will receive from following you on certain networks to build your social presence. Social media is not a stand alone marketing channel.  It is strongly tied to all  other aspects of your online presence. Action-gating (as apposed to like-gating) is an inexpensive and easy way to collect valuable user information that can be repurposed in social, mobile and web campaigns to achieve your business’s goals.

Facebook Competitions and Promotions?   What's the latest news on the Facebook rules? What do you need to do to ensure you comply with Facebook regulations. What you can do with a Facebook Promotion and Sweepstake. Promotions may be administered on Page Timelines and in apps on Facebook. For example, businesses can now: Collect entries by having users post on the Page or comment/like a Page post. Collect entries by having users message the Page. Utilize likes as a voting mechanism. What you MUST do with a Facebook Promotion or Sweepstake Businesses cannot administer promotions on a personal Facebook timeline. 1. If you use Facebook to communicate or administer a promotion (example a contest or sweepstakes), you are responsible for the lawful operation of that promotion, including: The official rules; Offer terms and eligibility requirements (example - age and residency restrictions); and Compliance with applicable rules and regulations governing the promotion and all prizes offered (example - registration and obtaining necessary regulatory approvals) 2. Business Competions and Promotions on Facebook must include the following: A complete release of Facebook by each entrant or participant. Acknowledgement that the promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Facebook. 3. Promotions may be administered on Pages or within apps on Facebook. Personal Timelines must not be used to administer promotions (example “share on your Timeline to enter” or “share on your friend's Timeline to get additional entries” is not permitted). 4. Facebook will not assist you in the administration of your promotion, and you agree that if you use  Facebook  service to administer your promotion, you do so at your own risk. Please consider the requirements when it comes to the tagging within promotions Accurate tagging is required in promotions In order to maintain the accuracy of Page content, the Facebook Pages Terms now prohibit Pages from tagging or encouraging people to tag themselves in content that they are not actually depicted in. So, for instance: It’s OK to ask people to submit names of a new product in exchange for a chance to win a prize It’s not OK to ask people tag themselves in pictures of a new product in exchange for a chance to win a prize   The technical reason why only business pages or apps are used to run Facebook Competitions or Promotions There are technical reasons for confining the administration of the promotion to either a Page or in an app. For example, because people can choose to limit the visibility of the content they put on Facebook to only themselves, friends, or to a custom group of people,  it follows that a Facebook Page won’t have the ability to access all of the entries that people post on their own Facebook timelines unless these entries are public. Why does Net Branding still recommend using Facebook Apps when running Facebook Competition or Promotions Creating a promotion with an app on Facebook allows a Page to create a more personalized experience, and an experience that aligns with your branding strategy. Facebook Competition Apps provide more space and flexibility for content than Facebook page posts alone. Promotions run through apps can collect data in a secure, structured way.  Remember that as with all Facebook posts, compelling text and visual images are still a key to your promotion or competition. ### Online Marketing how do we prepare our businesses for the next generation? During my online marketing and social media presentation, the aspect that usually is of most interest to my audience are my statistics that graphically depict various age groups and their use of social media networks. As time marches on and new generations mature into real consumers, we’ve taken note of the Millennial Generation and acknowledge that Generation Z is the generation that follows on afterwards. Currently Generation Z is not even 21 years old yet, but this generation is already beginning to exhibit an influence. So in the world of online marketing and internet branding (Net Branding), what do we as New Zealand companies need to know about Generation Z? As compared to earlier generations, "Generation Z is mature, self-directed, and resourceful," according to the following infographic by Marketo. They know how to self-educate and find information, and 52% use YouTube or social media for typical research assignments. In addition, and I see this with my own children, Generation Z embraces the Do It Yourself (DIY) culture with some 76% of this generation wishing to turn their hobbies into full-time jobs, and 72% of high school students want to start their own businesses someday. "This generation knows the ins and outs of the Internet, shops online, and is ambitious about work," states Marketo. "Your future business depends on understanding how to market to them." These informative infographics have been shared with you by Net Branding.  Source - Sparks and Honey.

Title Tag for SEO Your title tag is the first thing that a user will see when they have completed a google or search engine search. It should have your keyword focus, and it is recommended that the keyword appears at the beginning of the title. 2.

You should include your keywords within your meta description, not forgetting that you have to limit this description to 150 characters. 3. Your article content for SEO Your article or content placed online should incorporate your chosen keywords. Whilst your keyword should be included within the website title, footer and perhaps navigation area you should always incorporate your keywords into your content, 4. Social media accounts Have you set up your social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other networking sites? 5. Install Google Analytics Google Analytics is a service offered by Google that generates detailed statistics about a website's traffic and traffic sources and assist you in measuring site conversions to name but a few features of Google Analytics.  What is even better is this service is FREE. 6.

Blogs shouldn’t only be about press releases but should educate and entertain your audience and yes be primed for particular keywords and phrases. 9. Your website Focus on your website as well. You should ensure that your web site has a good user experience and is visually appealing. These will both contribute to lower bounce rates, which will positively affect your rankings and assist your SEO. 10.

What is the difference between “selling” and “helping”? Yes, only two letters, but the gap is in reality, much larger. Understanding the difference between selling and helping is the key to your social media success. If you can help a potential client understand something, do something or experience something, they will automatically warm to your brand and potentially choose you when making their next purchasing decision. They may not need legal services today or have to buy that special dress for their next dinner but they’ve experienced your competency in your niche and understand the wealth of knowledge that you are able to share. It therefore follows that whilst these online searchers have connected with and interacted with your brand content, this does not typically translate into an instant purchase or contact (a measurable result). Their experience with your knowledge shared usually guides them to an understanding that you are the competent provider of service or product in your area of expertise. This implies that achieving social media success is a long term project and not a short term assignment with measurable gains in the first week of implementation. The impact of social media activity takes time and perhaps the measurement of result on an annual basis may be more realistic. With this in mind, helpful content and content sharing becomes a critical part of your online strategy. It potentially opens the door to your social media selling success. Content helps assist you with creating a connection with your potential customer. It’s part of developing and building of that sort after ongoing relationship. But how does this created content develop a relationship that guides you closer to closing the deal? Why is content the key to social media success?  Well, your customers recognize the importance of great content to help them make a purchase decision. In today’s age, many a potential customer hops online to educate themselves before walking into a store or making that purchasing decision regarding your product or service. Research shows that customer’s instinctive behaviour includes searching, consuming created content and education. Remember that the difference between selling and helping is only 2 letters. Your content should be helpful and self-educating.   It should gently guide a customer towards building a perception about your competencies in the market you operate within. It’s all about delivering the right content to the right customer on the right channel at the right time of the sales cycle. It is important to note that valuable online content can take many forms. Below I’ve shared a few potential content suggestions. Product and Service Reviews Competition Comparison Research Information Case Studies Seminars Demonstrations Content, a differentiating factor perhaps? Set yourself apart from your competition; start to create that association with your brand. Provide potential customers or clients with helpful information, educate them, share your knowledge and become the knowledgeable resource for your industry. I will almost guarantee you that if you become top of mind; they will call you when making their next purchasing decision.

Auckland Online and Social Media Services Ask an Auckland Social media services consultant a question. In what ways has Facebook changed the business world? As with every development in this fast moving online medium, it is recognised that social media and Facebook are a definite, powerful, real time “listening” mechanisms to get direct feedback from the community in which you operate. As social media extends into organisations, I believe that we are going to see the uptake of social media in an exponential fashion. If you are not a current social media user, your business will definitely review that current status not to mention the affordability and potential market reach of any advertising campaign executed within Facebook.   If you are part of a larger organisation, CEO’s and business owners will recognise social media skills as a must-have asset for all of their employees.  In the smaller business environment, business owners may align themselves with digital experts such as Net Branding who can support them in this online marketing realm. Aside from the unlimited future potential and possibilities that Facebook could deliver over the next 10 years, we will see businesses adapt to using these technologies and leveraging business opportunities for their competitive advantage.   A website is no longer enough, we need a website that is continually changing and growing in order to achieve that desired first page of google status.   New Zealand companies are therefore turning to content marketing in order to drive internet traffic to their businesses. However, as more and more businesses embrace this strategy, the question arises as to how much content an online reader can consume about a topic.  Yes, this is a solid SEO strategy.  By combining this with social sharing and engagement you create an extended yet targeted audience for your valuable content and online material.  Remember, people buy or use the services of humans and consider social media networks and Facebook as Human to Human networks.   In summary, businesses and service organisations are able to regain trust and credibility that they have may have lost over the last 10 years. It is for this reason that social networking is the most important business development of our current time, in the business environment.

Friday 23 May 2014 24/7 Web Hosting Thousands of New Zealand websites could be deleted after major failures from a local web hosting company. Kiwi provider 24/7 Hosting has gone to ground over the past few weeks, disconnecting its 0800 number and revoking access to key parts of its service without notifying customers. Kiwi provider 24/7 Hosting has gone to ground over the past few weeks, disconnecting its 0800 number and revoking access to key parts of its service without notifying customers. Some of the country's largest web providers are now fearing the worst, saying thousands of website owners may lose access to their data and websites altogether. The company buys domain names and server space from other major suppliers before reselling them to the general public, servicing more than 6000 Kiwi websites. But one of their biggest suppliers – domain registrar Voyager - is now urging customers to jump ship, saying the company seems to have been abandoned. Voyager chief executive Seeby Woodhouse has been trying to contact the owner for a month to recover unpaid bills and says there has been no response. "We register around 100,000 domain names through a bunch of different brands, but this is probably the worst case [we've seen]," he told 3 News today. "Because 24/7 hasn’t been paying their bills and because we don't know where they are, we don't know if the guy will log in and delete all the sites. "The power's going to get disconnected so there's definitely not a lot of time before all that goes down." Voyager has supplied around 6000 domains to 24/7 Hosting over the years and recently emailed every one, urging them to leave the service. "We've taken the unusual step of saying 'by the way, although you paid 24/7 for your domain name, they paid us to register it'," Mr Woodhouse says. "We don’t know what's happened, we don't know if this has been abandoned or they've run out of money or all their staff have walked out. It's really a mystery because we just haven't been able to contact the owner." Meanwhile Auckland developer Lindsay Jopson has lost direct access to five websites and is working frantically to recover what data he can. He no longer has access to the service's back end control panel and has been forced to resort to more advanced methods of recovery. "I'm trying to pull down any file that I can at the moment off all my websites," he says. "Everyone's just trying to do a mass exodus of hosting and get what they can. "For the layman, it's like they've deleted the files – basically everything – it's just been wiped completely." There is one solution but customers will need to act quickly and remove files before 24/7 takes down its servers, Mr Woodhouse says. "If anyone has their FTP, username and password they can pull down their site and get it back up and running with either Voyager or some other third-party hosting company. "It could be worse if the servers get cut off and 6000 people lose their websites." Mr Woodhouse doesn't think the owner is trying to defraud people, saying it's more likely to be a case of business mismanagement. "To be honest I don't think they'll have much money, they were charging such low prices," he says. "I think they made some bad business decisions, they've had some poor customer service." 3 News has been unable to contact 24/7 Hosting for comment. "Do you need website assistance?"

Attract | Engage | Convert | Measure |Analyse | Improve your Internet marketing process. A internet marketing process for continual improvement. Many years ago, as I focused on project management, my constant companion where project plans that contained elements of a project process such as initiate, plan, execute, review, control and close. So why, I ask myself, should our internet marketing processes for online success be different. As a business community, we now accept that Internet Marketing is a great option for a small to medium size business as over the last 15 years, we have seen a tremendous increase in the importance of businesses’ requirement to embrace this online marketing medium. What are the steps to online internet marketing success is a question I am often asked. If your business is not “findable” online then it is unrealistic to expect service enquiries or sales to come from your website. To achieve findability, you need real humans to find your website resulting in a term we call internet traffic. So “findability” is the ultimate goal of today’s business. ATTRACTION - Internet Marketing So how do your increase your internet traffic? Organic search. Achieving natural results on an internet search ranking result. This is sometimes achieved with the assistance of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). What is SEO? Well, Search Engine Optimisation is a form of organic search aided with the use of keywords, metadata and titles and yes inbound links. The objective of organic search is to get your business website appearing on the first page of Google for your chosen keywords. In addition, fresh content is a vital and key part of your online presence and part of your long term strategy for to improve and or maintain your organic search positioning. This online positioning is constantly being effected with increase online competition and continual changes to search engine algorithms. Paid advertising such as Google Adwords. This can provide a business with instant results to achieve top page google status and is certainly measurable using Google Analytics. However Google advertising does not improve your online ranking on a permanent basis and in my opinion is a short-term fix. Social Media assists your business in extending its sales funnel and reach. This is done using social media networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. These social media tools are a great way to build an audience and extend your brand image and online reputation. Social networks are fantastic for building relationships where you are able to communicate directly with your potential customers. They also provide you with advertising opportunities to promote your website and capture targeted internet traffic. Traditional Marketing including print, radio and TV and work best when used consistently across all the mediums to drive traffic to you website. In summary, it is my opinion that an integrated marketing approach, using a combination of the above methods is often the best approach to use. “Be Seen, Be Heard, Be Found” online has never been more apt. ENGAGING - Online Marketing Now you’ve captivated the extra traffic, how do you convert them? Is your landing page experience a positive experience and do you have persuasive calls to actions that remove obstacles and encourage engagement whether this be a phone call to you, an enquiry sent via your website, a signup to a newsletter. What are some things to look for when considering engagement? 1. Well written text. 2. Images that support your message and improve the overall attraction on the webpage. 3. Strong calls to action to get a website visitor to take action. You really only have a few seconds to get an internet visitor’s attention and engage with them when they arrive at your website’s door, so it's very important to get this part right. CONVERT - Online Marketing Compelling calls-to-action or strong sales copy that focuses on converting is important as is minimising the number of clicks to achieve a sale or service enquiry. Your website should encourage your internet visitor to take action, answer their questions and overcome any objections to the sale that they may have. MEASURE - Online Marketing In today’s online world, we are able to measure most elements of your online campaign. From, our keyword ranking, your google analytics reports, your telephone enquiries, your click through rates or cost per clicks and to so many additional different measurement tools. ANALYSE and IMPROVMENT - Online Marketing With experience comes the ability to analyse the results, and assess where improvements can be made to your online campaigns in order to improve your current results. As with any analysis, the follow on is the taking of identified corrective and continual pro-active action. In Summary, the internet provides us with a continual journey for improvement of our online marketing options as change is perhaps the only constant in this changing world. So no matter how well you are doing online, there will always be areas of improvement or areas to include change. Online marketing is part of a continual improvement process.

Ask a Social media services consultant a question. How would you describe Facebook to someone who had never heard of it? ? Over the past decade people have communicated, shared information and attended many a business networking event or special interest gathering in order to extend their personal communication’s networks or associations with likeminded people.  Facebook has encapsulated this type of networking within cyberspace and provides you with the same functions to encourage getting to know people and share stories of particular interest to you and your online audience.  A “Group” within this social network allow Facebook users who have common interests to find each other and interact.  “Events” allow Facebook users to publicise an event, invite other Facebook users as guests and track who plans to attend.  “Pages” (typically used for businesses) allow Facebook users to create and promote a public material focused on a specific topic.  Presence technology allows members to see which contacts are online and chat.  This is a great place online to rekindle old friendships and grow new ones yet at the same time allow you to reach an audience you probably would not have found and thereby gain online credibility for your business, brand or service.

Ask a Social media services consultant a question. Recent statistics imply that younger generations are not using their Facebook pages or deleting their profiles all together. Why do you think that is? There has been a decrease within the younger generation’s use of Facebook but I believe that this is associated with the increase in uptake of a more mature audience aka their parents.  For teens, they would prefer to socialise and communicate within environments that do not include their Mum or Dad.  This being said, according to recent studies (2013) the average Facebook user is a young, 25 year-old woman, living in a big city, with a college degree and a household income of more than $75k a year.

Websites to Social Media How to grab attention in the online world? Websites to Social Media– with Net Branding We live in a world with short lived attention spans and a myriad of marketing messages hitting us as we go about our daily lives.   Happiness, anger and other emotions can be spread from person to person via updates posted on social networks. Whether it be on social sites where you want to grab a consumers or clients attention and then engage with them or perhaps it is within a website where you want your prospects to be “gently guided” to you action items (call me, sign up, buy now) we are living in an information where information is shared and uploaded at a rate that is far greater than ever before. According to Wikipedia, on 20 February 2014, there were around 172 million Tumblr and 75.8 million WordPress blogs in existence worldwide. With this level of information in the world, how do you get noticed?  We understand that competition is constant and increasing. So doing something different to get noticed is the only real option. What should you do to be noticed online? Make sure that your content is emotionally appealing and engaging. Statistics tell us that positive emotions do better than negative emotions. Target curiosity, amazement, interest, astonishment, uncertainty, admiration, and yes humour.  With this combination it stands to reason that emotional quotes usually do reasonably well in the online “sharing” stakes. Get your audience to question themselves so use different font or headline to  grab  their attention and get them thinking Come up with a different angle.  An old topic with a new twist perhaps. What about a story?  Stories or narratives tend to be most interesting to people.  People buy from people.  Give your organisation a voice.

Do you have a business contingency plan? 19/06/2014 Social media site Facebook crashed worldwide this evening, but was back within a short while. The site said: "Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can." On Twitter the hastag #facebookdown was trending, with users saying it appeared to be down from between 20 and 40 minutes. The outage was reported in several countries, including New Zealand, Thailand, China, Singapore and India. Facebook took some time to respond to its users. “Earlier this morning, we experienced an issue that prevented people from posting to Facebook for a brief period of time. We resolved the issue quickly, and we are now back to 100%. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused,” said a Facebook spokesperson in a statement sent to UK newspaper, The Guardian. We all love Facebook but what happens if Facebook disappeared tomorrow? It is an incredibly important piece of the online marketing puzzle – your online presence but what risk management strategy could you or have you implemented should it disappear. Consider this, if Facebook disappeared, what is your businesses contingency plan? Keep watch for more digital marketing news. Save ### Social Media Services Consultant - As a Question. Ask a Social media services consultant a question. What is your opinion on the privacy setting on Facebook? Do you think it’s fair that Facebook stores all your information and data (private messages, photos etc)? Privacy transcends many applications, and as users we are able to make a conscious choice around what we share and what we do not share.  We have tracking devices on our smartphones, and that information is certainly stored.  Facebook has improved their privacy and security settings over the last while but it is up to the Facebook users to use these functions.  As more information is shared and stored, there are potential controversial privacy issues that Facebook will need to navigate.  The handling of sensitive information could well form the crossroads for Facebook’s future, possibly determining its overwhelming success or its demise.

As you probably know by now, I am a strong believer in the merits and value of marketing your business on social media. I truly believe it one of the the best way to get your products and services in front of the right people while building a meaningful relationship with them. It goes without saying that not all networks are created equal. It is important to review your unique requirements and then make a decition to to spend the most time and efforts on the social networks that will bring you the most return. As already said, social media is an important and invaluable tool for any business. It extends your business's brand reach and faciliates communication and engagement with the community you find yourself in. But what are the Big FIVE social media tools and networks and that are important for your business. Which, in my opinion are the Social Media Sites Make Up The Big FIVE. Social Media Marketing is all about connecting to right audience on the right social media network at the right time with the appropriate message for that audience. Naturally there is so much more to deciding what social media site is the correct site for you and your business or services. But take a look at some of the sites that I would recommend you include. LinkedIn LinkedIn is great if you are trying to connect with business decision makers and influencers. The approach on LinkedIn is all about business (local and international), doing business with others, connecting with people and making money. Pretty much like your BNI group or TNG Networking Group.  It is important that any message suits this environment and with the increase of images and quotes of a varied nature filling the newsfeed, I often question as to whether some of these as appropriate message within this forum. What are your thoughts? Facebook Facebook is the friendship network. People are connect with and communicating with their friends. They talk about holidays, share baby pictures or childrens events. Community involvement, education, happiness and humour (to name but a few thoughts) are the tones to share within this online community. Twitter Where would this list be without Twitter? Twitter is the network for customer service and relationship building. All content is very public and because of this you should be monitoring and listening online to hear what people say about you and your any of your competitors. Pinterest A social media network that arrived on the scene quite suddenly. Pinterest is the "ladies club". I often consider it to be like a large scrapbooking fratuernity. It is filled with women sharing recipes, DIY, home hacks and fashion advice. Images are King and Queen in this environment. Google Plus Google Plus is the SEO network. Not only is each post indexed uniquely on Google, the keywords can be found through search and it helpswith your website rankings. You should definitely be on Google + even if your business and social network isn't there yet. Which network do you use most for your business? To Contact Cathy Mellett.

Facebook turned 10 years old last year, where do you see it going in the next 10 years? Thoughts as shared by Cathy Mellett of Net Branding - Online Services Auckland and New Zealand wide. Be Heard | Be Seen | Be Found Online. Facebook is likely to change the way we prospect and understand our consumer’s behaviour.   It has certainly moved from a novelty platform to a utility business tool.   As more and more devices we wear and use become conduits of information we share on Facebook, e.g. Nike Fuel Band marketed as the motivation on your wrist band, there is certainly a commercial advantage to the information collected. Combine this with mapping technology on our smartphones, harnessing information regarding our location and speed at which we are travelling currently presented back to us as up-to date traffic maps and it will not be long before these elements join and personal information available becomes incredibly powerful.   Currently the potential exists for email communication to decline as users use social networks to communicate.   Add to this Whatsapp and face-to-face video calls technology and you have a very exciting opportunity evolving.  Match the above trends with a well-defined algorithm and the ironing out of any potential controversial privacy issues and Facebook is on track to dominate and become very successful in the years ahead.   From a business management view point, whilst I am of the opinion that Facebook will continue to grow and dominate the social market, businesses should still remain risk adverse and ensure that they have contingency plans in place for their online marketing and not focus their entire online marketing drive within one social network.

SEO Services - is the investment worthwhile? An critical aspect of SEO is making sure your website is easy for both users and search engine robots to understand. Although search engines have become increasingly sophisticated or refined in many ways they still can't see and understand a web page the same way a person does.  Search Engine Optimisation helps the search engines figure out what each page is about, and how it may be useful for users. The major search engines all work on the same principles. Automated search bots crawl the entire world wide web, follow links and index content in massive worldwide databases. These search bots accomplish this with a type of dazzling artificial intelligence. That said, modern search technology is not all-powerful. There are technical limitations of various kinds that cause huge problems in both content or website inclusion and search rankings. Here are a few of the problems a search engine bot may encounter. Search engines do not understand how to complete online forms (such as a logins or complete this answer to proceed), and therefore any content included behind such a obstacle may remain hidden to a search engine crawler. Websites using a Content Management System may create duplicate versions of the same page. This duplicated content is a definite problem for search engines looking for completely original online content. Website errors in a website's crawling directives may lead to blocking search engines entirely. There could poor link structures resulting in search engines crawlers or bots failing to reach all of a website's content. In other cases, poor link structures allow search engines to spider content, but leave it so minimally exposed that it's deemed "unimportant" by the engine's index. But what are world wide companies currently doing to assist that these search engine bots ensure their online and website content are found and indexed? Remembering that theses search engines continue to improve and change their algorithms over time. Below you will find a list of some reasons why your New Zealand business should consider budgeting for and investing in in your organic Search Engine Optimisation: Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) implemented over time, yes over time is cost-effective. When you compare organic search ranking with the dollar value associated with other types of online marketing such as Pay Per Click (PPC) e.g Adword advertising, social media marketing, or potentially buying leads for an email marketing program, Search Engine Optimisation provides a fairly good Return On Investment (ROI). While I acknowledge that Pay Per Click may drive more revenue in the short term and social media marketing may be more important for your brand and company image and reach, your organic Search Engine Optimisation will continue to be the foundation blocks of your online presence. Not to mention the fact that without organic Search Engine Optimisation in place, your potential clients and customers may not find you but worse than that, your potential customers could perhaps find your competitors online. It is important to note that SEO is a never-ending journey. A website rankings for keywords can rise and fall on a daily basis.  With this as a fact, if you are not continually moving forward with your online footprint and improving your online position, you are potentially loosing online ground to a competitor who is making positive moves in the online space. Evaluating the cost of a lack of organic keywords ranking and resultant loss of potential traffic means that you your business should definitely implement a SEO strategy in place if you are interested in succeeding in terms of online marketing and thereby your online presence.

Facebook held its f8 developers conference this week, and among other things, announced an anonymous login option and a new regular login, which enables users to share less data with third-party apps if they like. While certainly good for users, it's not going to make things easier for developers and app providers trying to build a business or help their existing business using Facebook's platform. Facebook thinks that in the end, however, this will still be good for developers. Facebook said: "When we were a smaller company, Facebook login was widely adopted, and the growth rate for it has been quite quick," he elaborated. "But in order to get to the next level and become more ubiquitous, it needs to be trusted even more. We're a bigger company now and people have more questions. We need to give people more control over their information so that everyone feels comfortable using these products." The new Facebook login lets users remove individual items from the list of permissions an app prompts them with. For example, they can remove their email address (so good luck if you're using your app to cultivate a mailing list). The potential implications for businesses who automatically share information to Facebook from their websites and blog is that these sharing apps may require a review when this login Facebook change is completed and released.

But vice president Deep Nishar says the company needs to get more people using the service on mobile devices. "We know mobile is critical," he said. "Later this year, we are going to hit our mobile moment, where mobile accounts for more than 50 per cent of all global traffic." He said in a blog post that dozens of countries, including Malaysia, Singapore and the UK, already contain more users on mobiles than desktop computers. Earlier this year, LinkedIn launched a Chinese language version, attempting to tap the huge market while navigating a strict censorship regime that has seen other foreign social media giants banned. "Our goal is to connect the more than 140 million Chinese professionals with each other and the global workforce," Nishar said. In China, LinkedIn allows users to post public comments, but unlike its English-language counterpart it does not currently allow group discussions. The social network launched in 2003 allows members to create professional circles that help their career path, and allows employers and recruiters to locate people with needed skills. The company went public in 2011 with one of the hottest public offerings in the sector at the time. Its share price has jumped to US$175.42 (A$187.81) from the IPO price of US$45. LinkedIn's latest estimate, provided at the end of 2013, placed the number of Australian members above five million. - AFP : source NZ Herald | 21 April 2014 For support and social marketing assistance please contact social media coach, Cathy Mellett. ### Is Search Engine Submission Necessary? The simple answer is no - search engine submission isn’t necessary. The majority of search engines nowadays (most notably Google) crawl and index pages by following links. Using that logic, a single inbound link from any already-indexed page will identify your page to the engine. Subsequently, if that page links to other pages within your site, they will also be indexed… and so on. For this reason, inbound linking is very important. In fact, acquiring back-links may be the most important of SEO. In theory though, a website owner shouldn’t have to ’scout’ or ‘hunt’ for links. If the presented content is of interest, useful, and/or important, there is a natural tendency among web users to link to information. This is the basis for the Google PageRank algorithm. With all due respect, submitting your site to the search engines can’t hurt. Plus, it only entails about 5 minutes of added work assuming you only submit to the big guys. And once is enough… you don’t need to submit your site more than once. It doesn’t help or get your site crawled any quicker or more often. It should be noted that submitting your site to Google, Yahoo, MSN, and many others doesn’t cost a fee. Many SEO companies assert that you need to pay to be indexed. This isn’t the case and I would stay away from these companies. They are money hungry and aren’t looking out for your best interest. Would you ever consider going on a vacation across the country without bringing a map? It is hard enough to find your way in some places with a map. How hard would it be if you tried this adventure without one? Yet, this is exactly what people do every single day in the online world. They tried to build their own businesses online without having a roadmap to success. Then, after months or years of just wandering around online, they give up in frustration and quit. They walk away saying that the Internet doesn't work for them. The reason it didn't work is that they didn't pick up a map and follow it! You don't have to end up lost in the online shuffle. Below I will give you ten steps to help you map out your course and get you started in the right direction. It isn't everything that you need to know by any stretch of the imagination, but it will give you a basic foundation to build upon. Consider it your beginner's map to Internet marketing profits. 1. Choose a targeted market The biggest mistake most people make when starting a business is that they choose a product and then try to find people who want to buy it. If that is the direction you are starting from on your journey, then you are going the opposite direction from your destination. Wise businesses operate from a different concept. They pick a market first, and then they pick a product those people are searching for. In other words, instead of trying to find leads to sell their product to, they find targeted leads and then ask them what they are wanting to buy. Don't even consider starting a business until you know exactly where you are going to get your leads from. Think targeted customers first. Then, you can come up with a product for those individuals. Would you rather have 1,000 hits a day at your site of a general audience OR 10 hits a day of people who are desperate and willing to pay any price to buy your products? If you are smart, you will choose the people who are ready to buy! 2. Develop a Product Next, you need to develop a product or service for this market. Don't just jump on the bandwagon of affiliate programs when you come to this step. There are three major ways to selling a product online: a. You create your own exclusive product. This is the best opportunity you have. If you develop your own product, you can pick it's price, sell reprint rights to others, set up an affiliate program, etc. Don't tell me you can't do this. Tens of thousands of innovative entrepreneurs have used their own information products to get their careers started. You can to. Throughout your life, I am sure that there is something you have learned that you can share in a How-To product. Maybe you know someone else who has the right knowledge for a How-To product and you could offer to help them create a product if you both shared the rights to it. Don't just jump past this opportunity and say it can't be done. b. You buy the rights to a product or you JV for an offline product. You can buy the rights to successful products for $500 - $20,000. If someone else has created a product that you know your targeted market is interested in, offer them a large up-front fee for the rights to it. This way you can get your own product and never have to pay a penny in royalties. You can also search through magazines your targeted market reads and look for products people are selling. Then, give them a call and ask for the exclusive Internet rights to their product for a certain percentage of the profits or an up-front fee. c. You join an affiliate program. If you are just starting out online, this can be a good choice. You do have to keep in mind though that it doesn't offer quite the profit potential that creating your own product or obtaining rights to one has.When choosing an affiliate program, make sure that it is something your targeted market cannot be without. They absolutely have to have it. Also pay special attention to the profits you receive from each sale. If you are only be paid 5% commissions on the sales of $10 books, you will only be making 50 cents per customer. It would take 2,000 customers just to product $1,000 in profits. You cannot make money like this online! Look for higher priced products and higher commissions...especially commissions in the 25% or higher range. 3. Create a USP Create a Unique Selling Position for your product or service. Too many companies are just trying to be me-too companies online. You cannot be just like the next guy and expect to make a profit in a global economy. Just going to the next guy's web site to order is too easy for your customers. You have to create a Uniqueness to your product or offer. What can you offer that no one else can? Can you offer better guarantees, better customer service, more technical support, faster shipping, or lower prices. Think of something that will set you apart from all of your online competitors and tell in complete detail what it is. 4. Pick a Domain Name and Hosting Service The next step is to pick a domain name that describes your company, USP, and offer. Try to keep them as short and descriptive about your business as possible. Avoid using dashes or misspellings of your product. Both of these things will cause people to leave out part of your domain if they type it in. Someone else will be getting free traffic that you worked hard to obtain. For hosting, I personally choose to use Virtualis since they have the Fastest customer service and technical support in the industry. Test them out. They will respond to you within the hour...anytime 24 hours a day. No other company I have ever been with has even come close! 5. Develop a Customer Friendly Site The next step in the process is to develop your web site and put it up for the world to see. If you are planning to own a full-time Internet business, I recommend that you learn how to design the site yourself using one of dozens of programs which are readily available at any software store. You will save so much money if you can do the work yourself on just the editing alone as your site grows. If your main business is offline and you are just adding a secondary income, then you may want to consider having a professional do your site for you. When designing your site, keep the customer in mind always. Provide order forms for online credit card orders. Make all of the links easy to understand. Try to keep your site simple. Think like a customer, not the business owner. Your customers are not nearly as interested in your business as you are. Make sure to put the benefits of your site and your USP right on top of the site. More than half of the web surfers never drop down past the first screen full of information. So, you have to give them the information they need as quickly as possible. The rules for any type of business are Benefits, Benefits, and more Benefits. 6. Offer a Freebie One of the major keys to developing traffic and sales at your site is to always offer some type of freebie as a drawing factor. For example, I offer dozens of free reports, weather reports, news, and more. My greatest drawing factor throughout the past 8 months though has been the two free e-books which we offer on our site to people who subscribe to this newsletter. You need to come up with a freebie no matter what type of business you are in. Create a free report and give it away. Add in a message board or some other type of CGI program on your site. Give a free demo of your software. Create something that you can give away for free on your site to draw in the visitors. 7. Start Your Own Opt-In List Almost every full-time Internet marketer I know has developed their own Opt-in email list of some type. For most of them, it is a weekly newsletter they send out by email. For others, it may be a Tip of the Day. Other people might just have a list that they send out important updates to. No matter what you choose to do, odds will be on your side if you concentrate on building a list of loyal email subscribers. Very rarely do customers purchase from you the first time they visit your site. Most of them will get on your list, hang out for a few weeks or months, and then they buy from you. They have to get to know you before they are willing to spend their money with you. I have found that the most effective leads come from offline advertising. For example, you could purchase ads in a popular targeted magazine for your business. You could also purchase a postcard in one of the card decks. Start up a co-op and get 10 other people to advertise with you and run your own ads for free. Offline leads which come to your site often turn out to contain a much higher percentage of buyers than any of the online advertising methods. Once you put our short 10 step outline together you have a basic map to creating your own Internet success story. You wouldn't consider going on a trip without a map. So don't try to go it alone online without a map. Terry Dean's Brand New Fr-e eBook, "10 Quick and Easy Ways to Increase Profits to ANY Web Site Overnight!" Reveals More Time Tested Proven Internet Marketing Secrets Than 99% of the Paid Products Available...Showing You Step-By-Step How to Increase Your Traffic, Drop Your Expenses, and Drive Your Profits Through the Roof ### Can Any Inbound Linking Hurt My Ranking? The answer is simple - inbound linking cannot hurt your search ranking if done correctly. How is this known for certain? Well, for one, if inbound were to hurt your rank, your competitors would continually link to your site from link farms. Such a scenario is beyond your control. For this reason, Google cannot penalize your site for any inbound linking. On the other hand, you can be penalized for illegitimate external linking. It is highly advised that you not link to any website or group of sites that may be involved in shady or unethical search practices. Doing so could result in being black-listed by Google, ultimately ruining your SEO strategy. Avoid this situation at all costs and ensure that all external links point to trusted and reliable sources. Link farms are also a definite no-no. Inbound linking is an essential aspect of SEO, but are you worried that it might harm your website's ranking?  As discussed above, if you're using manipulative link-building techniques, you're right to be concerned. In this article, we'll explore the potential risks of inbound linking and what you can do to ensure it doesn't harm your website's SEO performance and reference back to 2014 to see our thoughts on this subject matter back then. Understanding Inbound Linking Inbound linking, also known as backlinking, is a vital factor in SEO. It refers to links from other websites that point to your website. Google considers inbound links as a signal of your website's authority and relevance. However, not all inbound links are equal, and some can harm your website's ranking. The Risks of Manipulative Link-Building Techniques Manipulative link-building techniques, such as buying links (yes, buying links) or using link farms, can harm your website's ranking. Google's algorithm has become more sophisticated over the years, and it can detect these manipulative techniques. If Google finds that you're using manipulative techniques, it can penalize your website, causing a drop in rankings or even removal from the search results.  So do be careful. How to Ensure Inbound Linking Helps Your SEO Performance To ensure that inbound linking helps, rather than harms, your SEO performance, you should focus on building high-quality backlinks. Here are some tips for building high-quality backlinks: Create informative and engaging content that naturally attracts backlinks from other websites. Reach out to other website owners in your industry and ask for backlinks. Use social media to promote your content and attract backlinks. Consider doing promotions with suppliers that allow for the natural sharing of links. Some other points to consider as shared in 2014. Having been involved in the internet industry for a large part of my working life, I have spent a lot of time researching and browsing the internet and reading websites, mainly for client design research, but also for occasional personal use. The one thing that I find most disappointing is the apparent lack of thought going into website creation and its purpose, which in turn creates a missed opportunity for many e-businesses to become successful. Site Appearance for on-page engagement, a signal that is valued by Google and other search engines. My personal perspective on e-businesses and their websites is that if they don't take pride in their websites and show their customers a passion for what they do, chances are, they won't take pride in their products, and the passion for providing good customer service will also be missing. What you must remember, is that your website is a direct reflection of you and your business. The appearance of your site is the most important factor in determining your potential success rate. In short, if your site doesn't look professional or pleasing to the eyes at first glance, the majority of people will assume your products and/or services to be of similar poor standard. Site Speed - Important since way back. At the other end of the scale, you could fall into the trap of going overboard with the design and complicating things by incorporating high costing flashy graphics. You may end up with a great-looking and highly aesthetic website, but the danger with this is that your site may prove unreliable and at times may take too long to load. There is nothing worse for a customer than trying to visit a slow-loading site, and most will close the browser window in complete frustration. As I'm sure you will be able to work out, this will ultimately cost you business. Relative and Relatable Content The other major consideration (if not the most important) when designing a website is your content. Not just links, but content with passion, relativity, and understanding to the customer. When someone is searching for something in particular and they visit your website, they're visiting for a reason. Your site has something they want, Whether this is your product, service, and/or information. If they are unable to obtain what they're looking for, they move on to the next site, and so on. To be able to get your visitors to stay and look around your website, you must give them a reason to. Providing them with quality content will achieve this goal. There have been countless other lists and articles on the subject of website design mistakes, but I have compiled my own list, from a designer's perspective, of some pitfalls to look out for when considering either designing a website or purchasing a template. Remember that simple, clear, informative, and well-designed sites are the most successful. If you are a current e-business and your sales aren't what you had hoped, consider the above and take some time to look openly and honestly at your site. Spending money on improving your website is a much better investment than throwing money away on trying to advertise and market a site that just isn't good enough to sell your product or services. If you are looking for a template or a custom-designed website, be aware of the above and be prepared to ask your chosen designer or template provider questions to ensure that your hard-earned money doesn't go to waste on an inferior design, which contains any of the above. Asking questions won't cost you a penny, and doing so could actually save you a lot of money over the long term. Getting your website right the first time is vital in terms of saving money and time. The earlier your website is up and running properly, the quicker you will be able to reap the rewards of a successful e-business. Some SEO Tips from Early on - Not related to Linking but still focused on Customer Experience and Messages to Google.  Our TEN "creating good website tips" from 2014 The prime mistake Newbies make is to put their website name into the Anchor Text. Unless your website contains your keywords this is a waste of a perfectly good link. Remember that Google puts a very big importance on those Anchor texts and they should always use your keywords. The second mistake is trying to put every single keyword into your anchor text and give that to everyone. There are two mistakes with this technique. 1.) Google assigns weight to each word in anchor text so if there are a lot of filler words (common in long sentences), they will "dilute" your target words. According to two recent surveys, conducted by Forrester Research and Gartner Group, e-commerce sites are losing $1.1 to $1.3 billion in revenue each year due to customers' click-away caused by slow-loading sites. If a page takes too long to load, your potential customer will not wait. Ultimately costing you business. Make sure you include proper META tags in the HTML of each page of your website. META tags are HTML codes that enable search engines to determine what keywords are relevant to a specific site. About 80 percent of all website traffic originates from the eight major search engines. It would be a good idea to make sure you've done your homework and fully understand how to optimize your web pages prior to designing your site. This will save you a lot of headaches in the long run. For further information on META tags read the tutorial entitled, "Building Your Site." Be cautious when selecting your background and text colors. Busy backgrounds make text difficult to read and draw attention away from the text. Always be consistent with your background theme on each page of your site. Your site should be nicely organized and uniform throughout. Keep in mind, colors affect your mood and will have an effect on your visitors as well. Bright colors such as yellow and orange, cause you to become more cheerful or happy, while colors such as blue and purple have a calming effect. Dark colors such as brown and black have a depressing effect. A good rule of thumb would be to use colors based on the type of effect you're trying to achieve. Your main page should specifically let your visitors know exactly what you're offering. How many times have you visited a site and never figured out exactly what they were selling? If your potential customer can't find your product or service, they definitely won't waste a lot of time looking for it. They'll go on to the next site and probably never return. They're visiting your site for a specific purpose. They want something your site offers. Whether it is information, a product, or a service. Design your site to be easily navigated. Place your navigation links together at the top, bottom left, or right side of the page. Use tables to neatly align your links. If you are planning on using graphic buttons to navigate your site, keep in mind that with each graphic you add to your page, it will take much longer for your page to load. If you only have a handful of navigational links, using graphic buttons will be fine. If you have over six links, it would be wise to simply use text links to keep your load time down. If you must use frames, use them sparingly. Frames, if not properly used, can make your site look unprofessional. Avoid making your visitors have to scroll from side to side to view your content. This can be very irritating and cause your visitors to leave. If you must use frames, offer your visitors a choice. Frames versus No Frames. Try to keep the number of clicks required to get from your main page to any other page on your site down to four. Keep in mind, your visitors may enter your site from pages other than your main one. Always have good navigational links on every page and place your company logo on each page. Design a quality e-book to give to your visitors. It's not as difficult as it sounds. If you can create a web page, you can create an e-book. The focus of your e-book should complement your website. Simply write about your passion. If your passion is sales, then you could share some of your knowledge and experience by designing your e-book to provide a complete sales training guide. If your passion is a home-based business, you could write an e-book about how to start your own home-based business. If you're writing about your true passion then you shouldn't have any trouble coming up with something to write about. For further information on e-books, read the article entitled, "How to Create an E-book and Drive Massive Traffic to Your Site by Giving It Away." Having been involved in the internet industry for a large part of my working life, I have spent a lot of time researching and browsing the internet and reading websites, mainly for client design research, but also for occasional personal use. The one thing that I find most disappointing is the apparent lack of thought going into website creation and its purpose, which in turn creates a missed opportunity for many e-businesses to become successful. Inbound linking is an essential factor in SEO, but it can harm your website's ranking if you use manipulative techniques. To ensure that inbound linking helps your website's SEO performance, focus on building high-quality backlinks through informative and engaging content and outreach to other website owners. By following these tips, you can improve your website's ranking, improve your website design and experience and therefore avoid any negative impacts of inbound linking.   ### The Importance of Anchor Text in Back-links The importance of anchor text with respect to a linking strategy cannot be overstated. Back-links are a huge part of the search engine algorithm. When initiating a linking campaign, it is vital that external sites link using the appropriate keywords and terms in the anchor text. Almost always, linking candidates will use the company name as anchor text. This does not provide any type of description of the target company’s products or services. Sure, it may be great for branding purposes, but it isn’t usually needed. In most cases, companies already rank very high (if not first) for searches that incorporate their brand. Here is an example using fictional company “Acme Plumbing Supplies”: Most people will link simply using the terms “Acme”. This is alright, but it does not describe the company’s products or services, nor provide any context. By adding the word “plumbing” or term “plumbing supplies” (i.e. “Acme Plumbing” or “Acme Plumbing Supplies”), you may be able to drive additional traffic that may not have otherwise attained the corporate site. ### Absolute Links vs. Relative Links - SEO Value The debate between absolute links and relative links continues to live on in the SEO world. The individual significance of each has been contested, but it is widely regarded that absolute links provide better SEO value on the whole than relative links. Many believe that absolute links have less potential for getting messed up when search engines index your page. It shouldn’t really make a difference, but many conclude that this is reason enough. Furthermore, content scrapers and RSS services may ‘repurpose’ your content legitimately (or not). In either case, shouldn’t a proper back-link be attributed to your site? This situation favours absolute links. Although this is a minor argument, it’s still worth considering. ### Incorporation of Company Branding and SEO SEO is not an exact science. This becomes apparent when trying to incorporate both Branding and SEO into a strategy. This process is finicky, to say the least. On the one side, SEO deals with the placement of keywords and phrases. On the other side, branding deals with company loyalty and culture. Incorporating both sides dilutes the prominence of both. But eliminating one or the other may not meet all strategic and marketing goals. Once again, it should be emphasized that SEO is a series of guidelines rather than an exact science. Having said that, the following recommendation can be used to satisfy both sides of the equation. In general, keywords and phrases (i.e. SEO) should remain the focus of any early-stage company, while the incorporation of company branding should appear later in the evolution. This is simply a general statement and should not be taken word for word. The reasoning is pretty straightforward. At first, no-one knows the name of your company, but perhaps they are searching for your products or services. In other words, you want to target keywords and phrases that focus around your offering rather than your company. As you build loyalty and credibility, branding becomes more important. It’s at this point that you may want to incorporate corporate messaging to strengthen the relationship with customers and instill trust in your brand. One final thought about branding: if a searcher types in the name of your company, they are likely to find your website anyways. This is due mostly to anchor text and back-links. Therefore, optimizing for the company name is rather insignificant in most cases. ### Strategic Use of Images in Search Engine Optimization When assessing page structure and layout, there is a subtle, yet strategic way to use images in an SEO-friendly manner (beyond ALT tags) that improves your search rank while allowing you to integrate the necessary marketing message(s). Confused? Let’s look at an example: Suppose you operate a travel site and you want to optimize a given page for the term “Las Vegas hotel”. Suppose that you also want to include an enticing marketing message such as “Book now and save 20%!”. The aforementioned tagline lacks descriptive text, but possesses persuasive characteristics. That being said, you may want to place the tagline in an image and the key phrase (i.e. Las Vegas hotel) in a header tag. This places emphasis on the desired term, yet still provides a marketing opportunity without compromising keyword consistency. In other words, images are a great place to insert marketing messages that lack the necessary keywords and phrases. Leveraging this technique will ensure that descriptive text is indexed, while less marketing jargon is overlooked. The combination of keyword-rich content and enticing messaging will satisfy both sides of the strategic equation. ### Google now discounts all reciprocal links For a long time, reciprocal links have remained at the forefront of most inbound linking strategies. This is going to have to change. Google now discounts all reciprocal links. The algorithm has been altered to identify the exchange of links by two parties for the purpose of increasing their number of inbound links. The concept of reciprocal linking defies Google’s original intention with the algorithm. Quality content should attract links. The exchange of links is nothing more than a mutual agreement to unjustifiably promote others’ content with the end goal of promoting your own. Google doesn’t particularly like this (see Link Schemes). Some even claim that Google is now able to identify three-way linking schemes (i.e. website A links to website B, who links to website C, who links back to A). Whether this is true or not is hard to say. One thing is for certain though: inbound linking strategies should NOT be centered around reciprocal linking. This manufactured form of link creation is not well-received and is ultimately a waste of time. Instead, focus on creating unique, high-quality content in a given niche. The links will ensue. ### Online Marketing | Social Media and SEO - a world of constant change. Online Marketing – An Internet world of constant change. Be Heard, Be Seen, Be Found Online with Net Branding Ltd (New Zealand | Auckland) Online Marketing | Social Media and SEO - a world of constant change. The online marketing, social media and SEO environment is under constant change and as a result, your online social media and web marketing strategy cannot remain static.  It is important to re-evaluate your business goals, social media campaigns and results AND revise your strategy at least once a year.  However, based on past experience and at the current rate of evolution, a yearly revision may not be optimum and a quarterly review should likely become the norm. So let's as the following questions. In the current online marketing environment, have you taken cognizance of the following? Have you diversified?  We’ve seen Facebook move from a school networking medium into a strategic business tool for communicating with your chosen market.  Not that long ago, we were able to confirm - with a degree of certainty that all of your Facebook Business fans saw your Facebook updates in their news feed.  This is no longer the case as Facebook focuses on increasing their advertising dollar.  As Facebook changes we should be aware not to become too dependent on one social networking tool as we need to acknowledge we are marketing ourselves in an arena of which we have very little control and there is a business risk associated with that. Do not write off Google from a SEO perspective.   Yes, Google+ is important. Whilst it has not had the huge user uptake, If there’s one social network businesses should pay specific attention to, it is Google+.  A social network  already playing a more important role in Google’s organic ranking algorithm. This online trend is likely to continue. There are however, some indications coming out of the Google camp that Facebook and Twitter have no impact on SEO rankings.  I’ve covered these reasons in earlier Net Branding posts and have highlighted the social networks crawling and accessibility issues.  So it stands to reason that if Google is looking for social signals, it has easy access to Google + information where it is able to access the Google+ site and collect as much information as what it needs. Google+ is also the best way to get access to Google Authorship, which will, in my opinion play a larger role in SEO .   Why you may ask? Google Authorship helps the search engine identify your content, attribute it to the correct author and build a portfolio for each author that may include what many are calling “Author Rank”.  This is algorithmic scoring based on author expertise and publishing history. Be Heard, Be Seen, Be Found Online with the Integration of social media, SEO, and content creation. Social media, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and content marketing do not happen in isolation. In today’s world, social media marketing certainly impacts on how valuable content is seen and shared across the Internet, extending it's social reach to a new level. Content creation and associated marketing have direct implications on your SEO performance especially in light of Google’s recent algorithm updates.  Again it is important that you consider the three established pillars of online marketing (as verbalised within the Net Branding Ltd catch phrase.)  These three pillars work, as a system to increase visibility, build your brand and ultimately reach clients and improve sales. The ultimate winner for online content – Images!  There isn't a question of doubt that images perform better for engagement within the social networks of Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest plus other social networks.   In addition, Facebook (based on a recent study by Vision Critical) is the network most likely to drive customers towards a purchase.  Video content is a must have for content and is a definite asset in your shareable content armoury. It allows you to visually promote your business and tell stories.  Not every platform will be right for you, but spending the time to find the visual angle to your business’ story and experimenting with different content formats within the different social networks and your real time feedback is a key element that can help revitalize your social media marketing strategy at those quarterly reviews.  The key is to create compelling content that resonates with your unique community, and then create interactions around that content to build your audience. Social media the ultimate brand builder. Social media channels should be managed according to a brand-oriented approach. Building your brand and, ensuring the consistency of the brand on any platform, impacts your SEO and improves sales over the long term, connecting with your ROI for online marketing.  Brand recognition should be a key objective for any social media campaign.  Are the visuals of your social media accounts consistent with the rest of your visual branding? Is your account name or any other copy branded? Are you regularly filtering your status updates to ensure they’re on-message and consistent with the overall brand that you’re building? Focusing on building your brand through your social interactions should be a key focus this year.   If the past is anything to judge by, we can confirm that social media  and SEO will continue to evolve.  Social media  cannot be executed in isolation of any of your other online branding elements and realizing that you need to be flexible and continue to evolve will assist you in achieving a higher return on investment. Save ### Facebook Ads - automatic promotion of Facebook updates One thing that is constant within the world of online marketing is change and here is another change to our Facebook Ads A little over a year ago, Facebook added an advertisement feature to Facebook Pages to give page admins the ability to automatically promote Facebook page posts, in order to help the Page get more "likes". Now, it seems that Facebook is taking this feature away and replacing this feature with a few new Facebook advertising features. Why are Facebook Ads features changing? While this change  perhaps eliminates some simplicity for online advertisers who did not want to have to think about what exactly they were promoting on a day-to-day basis,  this Facebook Ads change does fall in line with Facebook’s other initiative of enhancing the quality of the content users find in their News Feeds. Even with this change Facebook’s share of the global ad market is growing rapidly.

Be Where Your Customers Are Looking? If you were doing any online search, perhaps searching for a local Auckland lawyer or social media company, would you typically enter your search and then trawl through the multiple search result pages.   Perhaps not!  You would probably only scroll down page 1, 2 or 3 and then review your search criteria.  So let us therefore consider any business that is serious about establishing an online presence, how important do you believe the achievement of first page status within Google search results are for their chosen keywords.  The answer - VERY important. Through recent Google algorithmic updates have boosted the importance of editorial quality and referral sites.  One way to achieve authentic referral sites is the publication of great articles and information.   Great content rich articles are typically generated by reporters and PR companies.   So yes – two professions that have typically been so far removed from one another are starting to emerged as having similar and parallel practices.   The ultimate goal of any campaign is more publicity, whether online or offline for that particular business’s advantage and branding. SEO is evolving into a PR and content focused industry not forgetting the social media networks that assist any online material reaching a far greater audience.  Traditional professions that can work synergistically with each to achieve better campaign results and improve their business online reputation. What is the role of blogging as part of your Marketing and PR Strategy?  1. More Search Engine Indexed Pages: The search engines treat every blog post as another web page. The more “web pages” your blog has means that you can optimize and be found for a wider range of keywords, thus expanding your search engine reach. Even if your articles aren’t well optimized for keywords, high quality, industry relevant written  published content ( and yes this is where the PR becomes important), you are sure to stumble across both broad and long tail keywords that will be found and turn up on the search engine results pages. However consider the benefits of your PR and SEO specialists working together to create the content for your business, injected with appropriate keywords and then shared within online network reaching out to social influencers and relevant online forums.  An interesting statistic tells us that 80% of searches across the internet have never been planned for so this again favours blogs which are typically filled with keyword rich content covering a multitude of related topics and therefore key phrases. 2. Link Building: Back links are still the fuel for search engine ranking. However, it has become more important than ever that those back links are high quality, and naturally occurring. The regular production of high quality content allows more opportunities for other sites to find and link to your website. Those links act as an endorsement of your company, service, or product. 3. Social Sharing and Social Media: Social signals are playing an increasingly influential role in search engine results. Blog articles offer fresh, original content that can be shared, endorsed and commented on in the social media networks. Again an extension of reach of  audience for your business. 4. Fresh Content: the search engines like fresh content, and rewards businesses that deliver it. Most content on websites, over time, starts to suffer “decay” in the eyes of the search engines and preference in search results is given to websites with regular updates and great information.  Regular blogging encourages the search engines to crawl your site more frequently, and helps to keep your important keywords and phrases in the search engine spotlight. The trusted press release – could this be impacted? A press release prepared by a media / PR agency has great value for credibility, branding and news sharing.  Now consider the same press release that is compiled and written to include your relevant and targeted keywords, optimized to include multimedia components such a video and linking to your social media channels.  Optimised content is king and yes we reference the concept of quality content yet again. Content, content and content. Whether you are in social media and online marketing, SEO or a PR company, the underlying importance of high quality content remains your primary focus.  From a search engine perspective Google, Yahoo, Bing or any other search engine focuses on on-page content, its relevance and usefulness to the subject matter, it’s “shareablility”, and the metadata relating to that online page that contains the content.  These elements are of parallel interest to your SEO, social media and PR partners.  Web copy of any published content whether it be published in traditional media or online media should be search engine friendly, informative and unique to provide you with the a high ranking and to gain the attention of the online searching community. PR, social media, SEO  and Online Marketing requires a committed effort when focused on separately, jointly combining the efforts of multi skill sets will only work to your business advantage.

Using a pre-set algorithm, a search engine measures the relevance of your website by analysing your website’s page (s) content, the words you and I read and see, and then they (the algorithm) measures the second element – website authority based on numerous factors such as domain name maturity, pages linking back and the quality of content the search engine perceives the website to stand for. Using a pre-set algorithm, a search engine (e.g. Google) measures the relevance of your website by analysing your website’s page (s) content i.e the words and images you and I read and see. The search engine (the algorithm) measures a second element. This is usually website authority based on numerous factors such as domain name maturity, other webpages linking back to your site and the quality of content the search engine perceives the website to stand for. So what is a simple formula to use in order to get better search results? I am afraid there is no easy way out and the following formula is tried and tested. A 4 step guide to getting better online search results Understand your keywords and search phrases. These should not only be your personal thoughts around these words. You should complete a relevant keyword research exercise so that you are basing your online content on a solid foundation. Write website content that uses these keywords and phrases. Again I emphasise, the words or phrases used by people who are searching online for your product, or service. Build links to your website pages to show they are important in relation to the search results and … Keep repeating steps 2 and 3! Yes, keep doing it! But why are SEO rankings so important? What is the benefit of SEO? Search engine rankings are important to your business. The higher your business appears the search page results, the better for your business and here are a few reasons why. Maintain the lead. Ensure your business ranks higher than your competitors in the search results. With a higher search engine ranking, you are more likely to see a new visitor to your website. You are building your inbound marketing funnel. A better search result = increase in organic search engine traffic. The average website searcher trusts search engine results. The direct result for your business is brand credibility. In my opinion, organic search results provide you with a better return on investment (ROI) than paid advertisements. SEO can take your business to the next level in the online space. Consider this statistic, 60% of clicks go to the first page’s results It is important to understand that SEO is a constant online activity with the results of your efforts taking effort and time to materialise.

Why would Facebook want to purchase WhatsApp? Facebook revealed that WhatsApp has some 450 million active monthly users, 70 percent of whom use the messaging service daily. At that rate, says Facebook, the number of WhatsApp messages approaches the total number of SMS text messages sent across the entire globe on an average day. Net Branding - Be Seen, Be Heard, Be Found Online - Websites | SEO and Social Media Source NZ Herald 20 February 2014 Facebook is buying mobile messaging service WhatsApp for $US19 billion in cash and stock, by far the company's largest acquisition and bigger than any that Google, Microsoft or Apple have ever done. The world's biggest social networking company said today that it is paying $12 billion in Facebook stock and $4 billion in cash for WhatsApp. In addition, the app's founders and employees - 55 in all - will be granted restricted stock worth $3 billion that will vest over four years after the deal closes. The deal translates to roughly 9 per cent of Facebook's market value. In comparison, Google's biggest deal, Motorola Mobility, stood at $12.5 billion, while Microsoft's largest was Skype at $8.5 billion. Apple, meanwhile, has never done a deal above $1 billion. The price stunned Gartner analyst Brian Blau. "I am not surprised they went after WhatsApp, but the amount is staggering," he said. Facebook likely prizes WhatsApp for its audience of teenagers and young adults who are increasingly using the service to engage in online conversations outside of Facebook, which has evolved into a more mainstream hangout inhabited by their parents, grandparents and even their bosses at work. "This is a bet on the future for Facebook," Blau said. "They know they have to expand their business lines. WhatsApp is in the business of collecting people's conversations, so Facebook is going to get some great data." In that sense, the acquisition makes sense for 10-year-old Facebook as it looks to attract its next billion users while keeping its existing 1.23 billion members, including teenagers, interested. The company has said it will develop a "multi-app" strategy, creating its own applications that exist outside of Facebook and acquiring others. "Facebook seems to be in acknowledgement that people are using a lot of different apps to communicate," said eMarketer analyst Debra Aho Williamson. "In order to continue to reach audiences, younger in particular, it needs to have a broader strategy...not put all its eggs in one basket." Facebook said it is keeping WhatsApp as a separate service, just as it did with Instagram, which it bought for about $715.3 million in two years ago. WhatsApp has more than 450 million monthly active users. In comparison, Twitter had 241 million users at the end of 2013. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says WhatsApp is on path to reach a billion users. "The services that reach that milestone are all incredibly valuable," Zuckerberg said. WhatsApp, a messaging service for smartphones, lets users chat with their phone contacts, both one-on-one and in groups. The service allows people to send texts, photos, videos and voice recordings over the internet. It also lets users communicate with people overseas without incurring charges for pricey international texts and phone calls. It costs $1 per year and has no ads. The deal is expected to close later this year. Shares of Menlo Park, California-based Facebook slid $1.12 to $66.94 in extended trading after the deal was announced.

Content Shock.  How can Social Media assist you through this new minefield? So how do we improve our content reach yet ensure our content is read?  Well, in my opinion Social Media reduces the risk of content fatigue and is able to increase your ROI But what is content shock? Let’s review the idea first highlighted by Mark Schaefer on January 2014. He defines content shock as, “The emerging marketing epoch defined when exponentially increasing volumes of content intersect our limited human capacity to consume it.” I am seeing the uptake of New Zealand companies turn to content marketing in order to drive internet traffic to their businesses but as more and more business embrace this strategy, how much content can reader  consume about a topic.  I again highlight that content has been earmarked as one of the most successful strategies for SEO so where do we turn to in order to improve our odds of succeeding in the online world.  The online battle to be first, to be more comprehensive, to be read more, seen more, respected more, is becoming quite a significant war. In comes Social Media Optimisation (SMO) Yes , as with Google, most social media tools are build around constantly changing algorithms. But without always understanding the nuts and bolts of the mechanics of an algorithms, a tried and tested method to get the best result is to ensure that your content that is more shareable, tweet-able, pin-able and more “like”-able than anyone else’s. But how? Make your content shareable and engaging and yes people love unique images.  It draws their attention. Encourage social sharing.  How easy is it to share you content across a variety of social media networks.  Don’t be afraid to ask for readers to share your content, ask them questions to increase engagement, perhaps your call to action is to sign up to your newsletter but whatever it is, ask for an action at the end of every piece of content. Focus on putting more of you into your social profiles, people buy or use the services of Humans and consider social media networks as Human to Human networks. Review your social networks for the best time to post your news articles.  Some times of the day obtain better reach statistics than others. And last but not least, reuse popular content to improve your ROI on content creation.  Yes, work smarter and not harder. As always, I am interested in what you believe are the best strategies to implement in order to avoid Content shock and overload?

Online networking and social networking sites are here to stay and will continue to play an ever increasing role in our young peoples | teenagers lives. It has been reported that email is "old" and communicating and staying in-touch via social networking is the way it is done. In light of this, I urge every parent to become more tech aware and hop on board the online train. As parents it is our responsible to provide our children with parental guidance and the online space is no difference. Social media and social networking sites can present many great benefits and opportunities to our youth who participate with them but like any activity there are also associated risks and it is important for parents to help their children use these sites wisely. I often refer to the book published and distributed by Parent Inc in Greenland (Auckland) which refers to some of the potential benefits as being:- Staying connected to friends. Collaboration with classmates on group projects. Developing new social contacts with peers with similar interests or outlook. Sharing content of self-expression such as art work and music . Developing and expressing your individual identity. Sharing of achievements. Communication with teachers, sports coaches and team mates. But the downside and risks associated with our kids online social networking can be: Bullying online - "cyber bullying",which is on the upswing. YES, cyber bullying, sexting, and other forms of online harassment. Consider this, 50% of children today are either bullied or bullying themselves. Yet only 7% of parents have any knowledge of this occurring, a very sad statistic. Sharing too much information, and genuinely and yet naively not understanding the impact of this over-sharing. Over exposing themselves and becoming vulnerable to predatory adults. Sharing photos or video that you later regret when they are about to apply for that bursary or first job. Being at risk of identity theft. Reduced amount of time for physical activity and thus not building appropriate muscles and strength that will be harmful during the later years. And yes, if online harassment or rejection occurs, such as “de-friending,” during your child's formative years, a deep sense of rejection from society may be an emotional consequence. Tips for children's online safety So what are a few things that you can do to keep and improve your children's online safety? Firstly discuss this topic freely with your children and you'll find a few suggestions below. Keep control of their information by restricting access to their social networking pages and accounts such as Skype. You control the passwords or at the very least, you know what the passwords are. Make sure your children set their privacy settings, review these. Discuss the importance of keeping their full name, address, telephone number, bank details private. Do not share them, and certainly don't share your password with your best friend. Make sure that they understand that they should only share information that they would be comfortable with everyone seeing. In a discussion I had a couple of weeks back with a teenage school going child. This child was happy to share very personal details online yet did not have any connection with the "online friend" in the day to day environment. After a little bit of a chat and covering the impact of this information sharing. They had a better understanding of the impact of the social online activity. Be able to talk to their parents before considering meeting anyone face to face they have met on line. Do they understand the risks associated with this? Monitor their online Internet usage and limit the time. I was saddened the other day to hear a young girl explain to her parents that she felt pressurised to answer texts and communication immediately when her friends connected with her online. Kindness counts. If you won't say something to someone when with them, don't say it online. Remember that online communication doesn't allow for tone, body language or facial cues It is important to understand and support our children in this online world where they need to develop the skills and understanding of how to maximise the opportunities that this online social networking world brings yet minimises the risks. Young people need support and education to develop the skills needed to understand the risks and opportunities of social networking sites so talk to your child before they sign up for an account about: The rules in your household on social networking sites The monitoring you will do on their Internet usage The limits on time allowed on these sites that may occur if their usage interferes with family time or external social activities. Have that discussion, think before they post. And yes, as already mentioned. Kindness counts. But how do I help my children? Start with your own account and learn and experiment. Did you know....Fact | Facebook won't let kids have sites if they're under 13. For any questions or feedback on this article relating to children's online safety please contact Cathy at Net Branding.

I am repeatedly asked about Facebook and how to improve your Facebook organic reach?  Whilst this was easy a couple of years back, things have changed.   But do you need to do Facebook advertising or can you improve your organic reach by making a few changes to your existing Facebook page?  Below you will find a few suggestions that I hope will be of value to you.  Do you know when your Facebook Plans are online? Have you tested various times of the day to post new news items to your Facebook page? This is particularly important if you only post once a day.  Personally I believe you should be posting to Facebook more often than this but must do and reality is often not aligned. We all have time constraints.  (BTW if you are looking for an easy option to post great content to Facebook more frequently please be in touch with me).   But more often than not, businesses are only posting every few days or once a week.  Then it goes with out saying that understanding the make-up of your fan base is  critical.  To assist you , you should find this graph within your Insights area of your Facebook business page.  This graph informs you at what time of the day your fans are online.  Remembering that your post is only ""live" in the news feed for a short window of opportunity then you should be posting your content when your fans are on-board and are able to be a captured audience. Post Regularly and More Frequently Again use your Insights statistics to evaluate what is the best form of engagement.  Once this pattern is established, use this to your best advantage.  But I only post once a day or once a week!!!! Consider this,  If you post to Facebook once a day, you can only expect to reach those Facebook fans who are online within a one or two hour window after your news update.  Remember, if you post multiple posts in quick succession you are loosing out.  So space your multiple posts at least two hours apart and don't forget the night owls.  Consider pre-setting your Facebook posts for late at night or during the early hours of the morning. [tooltip trigger="Frequency of Facebook Posts" variation="blue"]Post news and photos to Facebook multiple times in a day but beware to space your Facebook Posts at least 2 hours apart.[/tooltip] But where can I find a reasonable source of content? Consider the following... Re-sharing old Content and this is where your Blog is very useful. Reflect on some of your past content, what has had great value and positive engagement.  Review your blog statistics, which post seem to continually attract organic search from the search engines? You have a pool of content ready for re-sharing. Produce Highly Engaging Content This sound pretty self explanatory but the objective is a "Like", "Comment",  "Share" or a "Click of a photo"  all counts as engagement. Facebook is a social network, so get social and focus on achieving social activity from engaged fans.  Give them quality content, give them a variety of content. Quality content that that increases Social EngagementCreate interesting and unique posts that your Facebook fans will want to engage with. Watch your Facebook insight stats as a guide. Move an old highly engaged story into a newsfeed again. Consider commenting on a past story, this may sound like an underhanded tactic but it can have the added benefit of bumping the story back into the news feed.   Considering buying Fans for your Facebook Page?  The answer is a definite NO. Building fans organically using the suggestions above.  If you are paying for adverts, consider your advert targeting.  Remember you want real Facebook Fans that actually want to engage with your page about your product or service. In utilising the above, you should see an increase in your Facebook Organic Reach. Do you need Help with your Facebook Page or would you like to improve the organic reach of your Facebook Page?

Beyond Facebook, other social network services such as  Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube  all boast social users  in the hundreds of millions, and are in reality  household names. Seventy-two percent of adult internet users (in the U.S. but I am convinced that New Zealand is no different) are now active on at least one social network, up from just 8 percent in 2005. As social media extends into organisations, I believe that we are going to see the uptake of social media in an exponential fashion. If you are not a current social media user, your business will definitely review that current status.   If you are part of a larger organisation,  CEO's and business owners will recognize social media skills as a must-have asset for all of their employees.   This has the potential to see the current social media manager role evolve into digital experts.  In  the smaller business, business owners may align themselves with digital experts who can support them in this online marketing realm. Social advertising will take off.  But what is social advertising?   A definition could be  a media message  or advertisement designed to educate or motivate members of a public within a predetermined targeted social environment.   The end goal  - building of  powerful customer communities around  a business's brand and service.  Consider the fact that social advertising can also reach communities on their mobile devices and how many mobile devices are there in the world? With every development in this fast moving  online medium , the recognition that Social Media is definite  real time "listening" mechanism to get direct feedback from the community in which you operate can only add to it's power.  One that is definitely going to be embraced more readily. Do you agree or disagree with these predictions? What do you believe will happen in the social media arena over the next 12 months?

Facebook is sitting on possibly the greatest cache of user data ever compiled," says Nate Elliott, of Forrester Research. "Certainly they know more about social media users' affinities — their tastes and preferences — than anyone ever has. If they stopped dancing around [the data] and started using it, Facebook would be incredibly powerful." This combined with the fact that Facebook opened its first overseas data center in Sweden in 2013. A big part of using this data and information revolves around Facebook Graph Search, the platform's Google-like internal search engine that allows users to seek out more specific data from their network of friends. A Google search will return a list of nearby restaurants. In a perfect Facebook world, a social media network user would get a similar list, with the added caveat that these recommendations are coming from your friends, the people you trust and, in theory, with whom you share common interests. Consider the power of this when it comes to social media marketing? Are you and your business ready to optimize your social media reach and social media marketing in 2014?

LinkedIn is primarily for business use, it is a great place to share your knowledge and expertise within your field and to build a network of like minded people who may find the things you have to say of interest.  But what other advantages may a LinkedIn profile have?  Please find a few of my thoughts below. Use your LinkedIn profile to expand your network significantly and create more work opportunities for both you and your business by joining groups and discussions on various topics that you are interested in. Showcase your work experience, news and research, but more important, your work achievements and recommendations from your work colleagues and clients.  Remember to use the status updates function within LinkedIn and blogs are ideal material to assist you in keeping your profile updated. LinkedIn in allows people and acquaintances or potential customers and yes employers to contact you, faster and more accurately. Would you like to share your LinkedIn stories and any additional advantages you think having a LinkedIn profile may have? Do you require any assistance with the set-up of your LinkedIn Account?

Of course, it probably helps that changes to the News Feed algorithm make it far less likely that users will even see brand messages unless they’re paid for. Yes, the days of appearing in news feeds organically appear to be gone. Facebook had this to say regarding the new format. “This approach will continue to improve the quality of ads that you see in News Feed.” “Compelling sight, sound and motion are often integral components of great marketing campaigns, particularly when brands want to increase awareness and attention over a short period of time,” it says. “From launching new products to shifting brand sentiment, this video format is ideal for marketers who are looking to make a large-scale impact, and for people who will discover more great content in their News Feeds.” Page post video ads can come into play to sustain the message of the initial campaign over longer periods of time in more targeted ways, according to the company, which also says the format isn’t intended for all video ads or Page post videos on Facebook, but meets “specific needs for certain marketers with certain objectives.” The video ads on the Facebook social network will autoplay as they appear on screen without sound. Social media network users can simply scroll past them like any other content in the New Feed if they don’t wish to watch the video. If the user taps or clicks the video, it will be played in full screen, and the sound will play. When the video is over, it will display two additional videos from the same marketer, which users will have the option of watching. Videos will be downloaded in advance on mobile devices when they connect to WiFi, so the content won’t consume data plans. If you’re wondering whether all promoted videos will begin playing as soon as they appear, you’ll just have to wait and see. Facebook hasn’t decided yet, but is using what it learns from this initial test to determine what to do. If users react favorably, we can probably expect a lot more autoplaying videos in our News Feeds. The company says it will continue to refine the format. While it’s only a small test for now, it sounds like we can expect an announcement of broader availability in time. Facebook is currently telling business and marketers it will let them know. They’re not talking about the pricing for the format. While we wait for news, our Net Branding team recommended place video high on your advertising budget for 2014 as video testimonials and adverts can and often do speak louder than words.

Consider Holiday related adverts to drive traffic to your promotion specials or site.  Most business may have used Facebook adverts or other social media advertising in the past but this is a great time to use these mediums as most people are on holiday and taking some time out to spend more time on their social media sites.  What do you think?

A social business?  Websites for small business?  What should you know about websites and social media for a small business?  How to make sense of it all? You’re a small business, an accountant, a lawyer, a plumber, a real estate agent.  How should you embrace social media to get more clients or customers? It is probably easier than you think and with a clear infrastructure set-up in place, you are able to achieve results with the minimum of effort. Beyond your social media infrastructure set-up, these easy tips can make a difference? 1. Use Videos on Your Website When you’re a small, local business, your main strength is your personality, you are unique and yes, you are your business.  “How to videos” are a great way of building trust and credibility.  How do I hang curtains?  How do I sign a legal document?  How do I fix a leaky tap?  If you share the basic information, a potential client would not hesitate to call you for a more complicated job or detailed assignment.  They have already started to engage with you and have learnt to trust you. You may be thinking – I’ve already got a video on my website.  Well, then my thought is, load up a new video.  The more videos on your website, the better! 2. Promote Your Phone number and Email Everywhere You would like potential clients to call you.  Make it extremely easy for a potential customer to call you but making your contact details readily available and accessible.   Place your contact details (generic email and phone number) in the header, the sidebar, the footer. 3.  Use a Static Page for the Home Page When someone visits your website from search, they often visit your home page. Additionally, your  current and dependable, loyal customers will often visit your home page, too.  You could show your news feed on your home page but in my opinion, it is best to have a home page that sells.  As a small business, the website home page should tell prospective clients and website visitors that this is your core business, what are you about and what they can purchase from you. 4. Publish High Quality Content  Content is king and it is no different for the small business.  You are a small business so that does not mean you have to share something on your blog daily.  My usual recommendation is that a blog should be updated once a week and it is important to clearly understand your keywords in order to target appropriate keywords in all your news updates.   * Our Net branding team is able to assist you in the selection of your targeted keywords. 5. Create a Website with Effortless, Predictable Navigation How can you keep your website navigation predictable?  The answer, place contact us buttons where people expect to find it, which is at the top of the page or in the left sidebar. In addition, use expected works, Contact us | Contact  etc.  These are the words people are scanning your page for. 6. Publicize Other Small Businesses – Trusted Business Partners As a small business, you are probably in networking groups and building trusted relationships with other businesses.  Sharing links to other businesses that you trust.  It not only helps with helping clients to discover other trusted business partners but it also assists your site with its search engine rankings. 7. Include Calls-to-Action On Your Website What do you want a prospective client or website visitor to do?  Do you want your customers to buy your product? If so, ask them.   Do you want them to contact you? Provide them with a contact me link.  Consider a call to action on each website page 8. Establish Credibility for your business. We’ve covered the visual assistance of video but the general consensus online is that you must give away something, like a white-paper, to get leads (an opt in feature).  This is a bonus but when you are a local business, utilize this to your best advantage.   Provide testimonials, customer feedback and ensure your website looks professional and local. 9.  Reach a social media network . Engaging in social media is important.  Social media is all about the experience and not about a “hard sell”. From Net Branding – Websites | Social Media | Content | SEO and Blogging.

If we are going to brand our businesses or ourselves online it is important that we focus on the particular target network that is relevant to our customer or client base. We need to engage with our connections in our chosen network and as the saying goes “Social media isn't something that you "do", instead you have to "be" social.” Facebook, is a true “social” network platform and is designed to encourage people to share and communicate with their friends and family. The adaptation of Facebook to business was a secondary benefit identified and so Facebook marketing for business was launched. While LinkedIn (one of the first social media platforms) has established a reputation for connecting college-educated business professionals, Facebook has continued to build on its reputation for connecting almost everyone. As a “business” networking tool, LinkedIn has been primarily focused on becoming the online Rolodex or card holder of connections or networks for business people. It is in reality a BNI, TNG or Business over Breakfast of the online world. LinkedIn is often pushed as a salesperson's best platform when it comes to an online sales and networking tool. LinkedIn users tend to be white-collar university graduates, which makes the LinkedIn environment appealing to the business community, job seekers, and corporate recruiters. So let us take a closer look at the social reach and functionality of each tool. What are the differenced between LinkedIn vs Facebook? Facebook LinkedIn Members More than 1 billion More than 200 million Monthly visitors 960 million 97 million Gender of visitors 43% male 57% female 50% male 50% female Age of visitor 13-17 years: 7% 18-34 years: 26% 35+ years: 66% 13-17 years: 1% 18-34 years: 19% 35+ years: 80% Site features Photo uploading Private message sending Public message posting Video uploading Photo uploading Private message sending – Video uploading Networking features Event/activity invites File sharing Groups Instant messaging Multiuser games Private messaging Real-time updates from other users Event/activity invites File sharing Groups – – – Real-time updates from other users Search features Filtering Live search results Search suggestions Filtering Live search results – Search options e-mail address Gender Interests Keywords Location Name Online now School e-mail address – Interests Keywords – Name – – Since each social media platform has a distinct purpose, it's important for all businesses to evaluate why they are on a particular social media site, what their goals are for it, who they are targeting for their messages, and how they can best use the medium to advance their business.

This is a question that I am often asked when I'm onsite with clients as their social media coach. As a guideline, I've created a summary of tips and I hope these assist you in writing quality content for your blog and social media networks such as Facebook / Twitter / Pinterest and LinkedIn. Make sure your social media updates and blog posts are relevant to your audience and business. Be succinct, friendly, and conversational.  Remember this is a social environment after all. Share great photos and videos.  The visual medium tends to be more engaging and gains a wider reach than pure text updates. Ask questions or seek input.  This adds to the conversation. Give access to exclusive information and specials. Be timely by posting about current events, holidays, or news.  Example with Christmas approaching, have you prepared your social media plan for the holiday period. Do you have any additional tips that you would like to share that have helped increase your social media engagement?

Let us consider | What are the key aspects for your bottom line?  Is it obtaining a customer email, is it an enquiry form completed, is it a request for a brochure or is it a request for quote?  What do you need from your website and what do you want your website visitor to do? What is Conversion Optimization? Well, conversion optimization is the act of designing and structuring your website in a way that potentially increases conversions. A website ‘conversion’ does not always equate to a sale, it is great if it did but sadly this is not reality.  A  conversion is dependent on your own business goals that you have determined for your particular website or webpage.  These goals may be: A submitted enquiry form A completed contact form A product-brochure request An email subscription A request for a quote Whatever ‘conversion’ means to you and your business, chances are you want more of them from your online and website presence. Below please find a few suggestions that may increase conversion.  I suggest you test these out on your site. 1. Shorten the steps to conversion The more steps your site visitors have to complete, the less likely they are to convert. For example, if your primary goal is to collect email addresses, how many fields do they need to fill out in order to subscribe to your newsletter? The more clicks a website user is away from completing the conversion process, the less likely it will be of converting that particular visitor to your site.  Make sure your conversion process is as streamlined and simple as possible. 2. Offer social proof Provide your website visitor with social proof.  This translates to anything that indicates to your website visitors that others trust, respect or like you and your service. Social proof can take many forms, including testimonials, of social media fans or followers, email subscribers, or user-generated reviews and /or ratings.  This instantly reduces the perceived risk of them converting. 3. Use a strong, simple call to action Do your website visitors know what you want them to do? Your call to action is essentially the action you want your visitors to take on a certain page. If they only find themselves on your page for a few seconds, will they even see your call to action? Buy now, Call us. Try utilizing differing font, buttons or border to highlight the call to action. Try to locate your call to action at different positions on your page - at the top of the page, or the bottom of the page. 4.  Answer the question: why should I buy from YOU? It’s a dog eat dog world out there and in the increasingly competitive online space, your unique value proposition must stand out.  What is special about your business or service?  What is your uniqueness in the market place?  These are aspects that must be communicated to your website visitor. Your unique value proposition may be: 24  * 7 service Fastest shipping Widest range of products Most experienced staff or service-providers Quality products Lowest price Each website visitor is different and by implementing these for simple suggestions, you have definitely increased your chances of converting your website traffic into viable leads and future customers.   What techniques have you successfully implemented that have increased conversion on your website?

In other words, with few exceptions, we're all now searchable on Facebook. The company is officially retiring the “Who can look up your Timeline by name?” setting over the next few weeks, completing a process the social network started last December  2012 when it first announced it would slowly eliminate the feature.

The majority of businesses have some kind of presence on Facebook but how many of these businesses are really utilizing the social media network for its full potential? Probably a lot less than you think. For those who are missing out, perhaps these statistics will allow you to consider the potential benefits that Facebook marketing can bring to their businesses. The online numbers are astounding – 1.15 billion users, 700 million daily users, average time per Facebook visit is 20 minutes and 8.3 hours is the average amount of time each user spends per month. And if that does not make you sit up and take note, consider that 70% of monthly active Facebook users in the U.S. are engaged and connected to a local business? Should this business not be you? Do you want to be at the forefront of interacting and engaging with a friendly community? Social Media Marketing is a reality and it is here to stay.

The Social media giant Facebook is allowing users to edit post that contains typo error right on the bat without re-posting. Previously you had to delete your post, lose all your Likes and comments, and repost to edit. To edit posts, you’ll be able to click the down arrow in the top right of one of your posts and select ‘Edit Post’ to change the text. Your revisions and original post will still be viewable if friends check your post’s edit history, though. For comments, hovering over or tapping a post will reveal a pencil icon on the right you can click to start editing. ### Social Media ROI - How do you measure ROI for New Zealand Businesses? During a normal week I talk to many people at FREE Social Media events about introducing or enhancing social media in their business. During these regular sessions, there is usually one person who asks me the question, “Is social media marketing worth the effort?” How do you measure your advertising on your motor vehicle or the advertising on your wind vane. How many people view this in a day? Then, of those that view your marketing media, how many people actually become customers of your company? I believe people should measure social media in a similar vein. At most business I work with I normally ask the question, "Do you know where all your new customers have originated from? Do you ask the question, where did you find out about us?" This one question helps you understand how complex this concept of social media Return on Investment (ROI ) is. The answer to this extremely important question may identify that your social media networks are only part of your complete marketing campaign but yet perhaps an vital part of brand identification, awareness and authentication . Social Media ROI - let us look at some less tangible elements More outreach with branding – You are connecting with a wide audience on a national or international level. There is also the indirect brand support provided by friends of fans of your social media business network page. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). Search engines promote and like websites that actively show a social involvements. LinkedIn - connecting with business referrals via your personal networks and keeping your name, business name and brand at top of mind. Building a brand and engaging with your targeted audience. They feel like they are "getting to know you". There are many social media support tools on the market that can assist you with the measurement of ROI however let's consider the following. A new set of ROI metrics The new set of metrics could be: Sales If your sales are falling, you need to find more clients quickly to reverse the trend. If sales are trending upward, you need to continue to be at the forefront of your industry. Your job never ends. New Clients These people have connected with you and want to find out more about your services. Remember to ask the question, “How did you hear about our company?” Current Clients Your existing customer base. Look after these clients and continue to engage with them and connect with them via visits, newsletters, general correspondence or events. These people are also part of your referral network. Phone Calls How often do we neglect to ensure that our phone number is visible on every promotion item or online media or social network. People want to connect with people and the first method of doing so is to call you. Again, remember to ask the question, Summary As with each Social Media roll-out, every business is unique. Find a way to measure your return on investment. Start somewhere. Find a process that works for you and start evaluating the numbers. It really is that simple.

The practice of holding a "comment to enter" or "like to enter" contest was common. But today, Facebook amended its promotions policy to simplify the process. Facebook announced updated guidelines | rules for Facebook promotions on the social network, and biggest change was the removal of the requirement that promotions be administered via applications (apps) only. They’ve removed the requirement that promotions on Facebook only be administered through apps. Now, promotions may be administered on page Timelines and in apps on Facebook. For example, businesses can now: Collect entries by having users post on the page or comment/like a page post. Collect entries by having users message the page. Utilize likes as a voting mechanism. As before, however, Businesses cannot administer promotions on personal Timelines Businesses may not do are encourage users to tag themselves in content they are not actually depicted in, which Facebook says will "maintain the accuracy of Page content," Businesses should not require users to share posts on their personal timeline or those of their friends. So let us look at the examples below It is OK to ask people  to submit names of a recommended product in exchange for a chance to win a prize. Itis not OK to ask people tag themselves in pictures of a recommended product in exchange for a chance to win a prize. It is OK to giving away a prize to the 150th person who comments on a post. We believe that these changes will even the playing field for the promotion of Facebook competitions and remove some of the current confusion that some businesses has in relation to the administration of Facebook competitions | promotions. The other terms and conditions still apply.  These are that businesses are still responsible for the "lawful operation of [the] promotion," which includes official rules, offer terms and eligibility requirements, compliance with applicable rules and regulations. Promotions must also include a complete release of Facebook by each entrant or participant, and acknowledgement that the promotion isn't endorsed by Facebook. ### 4 Things to Remember in Social Media Four things to remember on social media - 25/08/2013 What can seem like a harmless comment among friends or an innocent "status update" about the fun you are having when really you should have been at work, can end in disaster. While the internet and social media are great ways to stay connected with friends and family, there are some hidden dangers, the effect of which can be serious if it impacts on your job. There are four things which you, as an employee, should be aware of when it comes to posting a status on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and other social media sites. The first thing to think about is whether you can log into social media during work hours. It's a good idea to check your employment agreement to find out what your employer's policy is in terms of accessing social media during work time. Employers may identify certain websites (such as Trade Me) or social media sites such as Facebook, as prohibited and they could be blocked. Excessive use of those websites may lead to disciplinary action or, as indicated by a recent employment case, losing your job. The second aspect to be cautious of is posting about your job, boss or fellow co-workers on social media websites. In a recent case before the Employment Relations Authority, an employee's abusive comments about a co-worker on Facebook led to dismissal for serious misconduct following the co-worker's complaint. By allowing the posts as evidence, it showed that Facebook exchanges can be taken into account by employers and the authority in investigating issues between colleagues - even if they occur outside the workplace. As an employee, you must therefore be very careful about what you say on Facebook, particularly about work colleagues. Posting about your job raises the third issue: what you do on social media websites may not be simply between you and your friends. In another recent case, an employee's Facebook was accessible to the public. This meant that when he made comments about his employer on the site, those posts were taken very seriously. You, as an employee, owe duties of fidelity and loyalty to your employer. These duties aren't suspended just because you may have gone home for the day, especially when your social media profile is available for everyone to view. Recent cases also highlight the fourth area to be wary of, which involves the use of your sick leave. In another case, which involved a disagreement between an employee and her employer about what she was doing while she should have been on sick leave, the Employment Relations Authority allowed the employee's Facebook details to form the basis of evidence as to what she did on that day. Therefore, showing off about what you were up to, or rubbing it in to your fellow co-workers, when you really should have been at home getting better from your supposed illness, may seriously impact on your job. To sum up, the safest way to avoid getting into hot water with your employer, which as the spate of recent cases illustrate, is to be very careful mixing social media and your employment. Doing so can have very serious consequences. Always be conscious of what you are posting and who can see those comments or photos. Mixing work with your private life can be harmless. It's an area, however, where you should take a great deal of care. The popularity of social media means that the two are becoming more closely blended. When this is added to the public nature of the internet, you as an employee need to think twice before writing that "post" or uploading that photo. - © Fairfax NZ News ( source stuff.co.nz - 25 August 2013) ### New Facebook features coming soon What is coming to your Facebook page soon? New Facebook features. Big Updates for Small Businesses: New features for Advertisers and Page Admins Soon Facebook will release two product updates that will offer small businesses more capabilities for creating ad images and mobile Page management, providing greater freedom to create and test visually compelling ads, and manage Pages on the go. Access to millions of Shutterstock images Facebook is all about engaging with your fans.  What better way than to use beautiful imagery.  High-quality, engaging photos often increase the performance of ads, particularly in News Feed. And now, through our collaboration with Shutterstock, it will be easier for businesses to integrate beautiful photography into their Facebook ads. In the coming weeks, marketers will have access to millions of images from the Shutterstock library — at no additional cost. Shutterstock's images are commercially licensed and available for use in all Facebook ad formats. Thanks to Shutterstock’s API and search capabilities, these images will be fully searchable and accessible directly within Facebook's ad creation tool.   Multiple image uploads Starting today, it’s also getting easier for businesses to create multiple ads simultaneously. When creating a group of Facebook ads, our new image uploader allows people to select a range of Page photos, images from previous ads and Shutterstock images. The ability to simultaneously upload multiple images means advertisers can now create multiple ads at one time (with multiple images) for a single campaign, and test images to increase performance of their campaigns.   What do you think about these new Facebook features?

We all love Facebook but what happens if Facebook disappeared tomorrow?  It is an incredibly important piece of the marketing puzzle - your online presence but what risk management strategy could you or have you implemented should it disappear. I often say – do not put all your eggs in one basket and therefore I always recommend the implementation of a blog or news forum as a supplement to your Facebook feed. Consider this...  Your blog and news forum should include an opt in device that links your new subscriber to your mail-out database.  You definitely have more control over your blog and your mail-out database and each visitor to your site can potentially become a subscriber. Your company website and blog – you control that. You know how it will look and feel, you know what your branding will present itself and in the current climate.  Your prospect will usually review these forums prior to making that call to you. Yes fans that have increased their knowledge of your offering will land on your website as a hot lead but if this forum does not live up to a certain standard you could have lost a potential client.  Your website is your online identity and remember to keep it updated. It’s also much easier to build a Facebook presence if you already have an established website and blog audience. You can use your website to drive people to your Facebook business page and vice versa. And your website and blog content provide you with a starting point for what you’ll share on Facebook.   This additional content will also have an added bonus - all your content is searchable via the search engines, it all comes back to Google. Do you keep your Email List updated? You own your email list yet you have very little control over your Facebook fans.  There are great ways to connect your newsletter to your blogs to ensure you maximize your results and streamline your efforts. In Conclusion Yes Facebook is an important aspect to online marketing but Facebook should not be the only focus at the expense of some of the trued and tested online mediums.  Facebook should be integrated into the completed infrastructure. Auckland social media company Net branding focuses on assisting our clients with this integration.  For a consultation please contact Social Media coach Cathy Mellett.

Your business in online. What is Facebook etiquette? Let's explore some Facebook Do's and Don'ts in order to extend our reach and gain traction whilst keeping our online reputation intact. Do: Keep your posts short. – Facebook posts with less than 140 characters get more engagement. Answer questions and respond to posts – Your Facebook page is not only a place to put information. Ask questions of fans, reply to them and engage in conversation. Facebook is all about being personal. Ask questions and ask for feedback – The best posts on Facebook pages tend to be questions. Ask them often and listen to what your users are saying and remember the previous “DO” respond to their replies. Participate in the conversation – Customers appreciate business owners who take interest. Provide helpful links– Facebook is not only about promotion be helpful and share knowledge. Follow thought leaders – Find people in your niche and follow them — and make sure to interact with them and their followers. Run promotions – Offer specials, coupons and limited time offers. Keep customers informed – Are you closing for a stock take, or closing early let your customers and clients know ahead of time. Facebook fans love photos – Have you considered posting pictures of your employes, the local area, your business. Don’t’ forget manners - say thank you – Thank your followers and fans often. Remember they are the focus of your page. Don’t: Over-post – This would depend on your page but if your un-likes on you page, increase or your engagement stops, consider if you are over posting. Excessively self-promote – there are general rules of thumb to consider. Mine is usually one promote to 3-4 pictures, image, quote or other light hearted engaging material. Consider your spelling and grammar Stand back and not engage – this is not the time to be shy – This is your opportunity to speak directly to your customers. Be outgoing and engaging. Be professional at all times –Do not post rants or moan about employees or customers and consider all replies before posting. This is a public forum. Stay away from contentions issues such as politics religion – You may have your opinion but Facebook is not the place to take a stand. This is your business page after all and your customer base is probably varied in their values and beliefs. Bad Mouth Competitors – It looks unprofessional. Share Secrets- You are promoting yourself in this environment for people to gain trust and confidence in your ability. Be aware of what you are sharing. Your Facebook page is an extension of your brand. Yes it is more informal but you have your online reputation to consider The Do’s and Don’t of Facebook – what have you found works or has not worked for your business facebook page?

Then we were given Cathy Mellett’s number, what a breath of fresh air! From the time we had our 1st meeting to implementation and training it seemed such a breeze. We couldn’t speak more highly of Cathy and her social media team.  Everything was carried out in an efficient and friendly manner.  If we had to tick all the boxes I guess we would have to tick 12 out of 10 as they certainly go the extra mile. Thank you Cathy and Your Team at Netbranding we are absolutely stoked with our online presence and all the work you did for us." Allan & Ann Woskett Slatecrete Paving Ltd   ### Facebook and Workplace dismissal Facebook used in worker dismissal. Source: stuff.nz A flight attendant was forced to let her bosses examine her Facebook pages and bank accounts in a stoush over what she was up to on sick leave. The employment court move signals a future where bosses will increasingly demand access to what most workers regard as private details, says employment lawyer Andrew Scott-Howman. He said the development could be seen as creepy and intrusive. Gina Kensington was sacked by Air New Zealand earlier this year following a dispute over sick leave she took to care for her sister. She said she did not misuse sick leave, and went to the Employment Relations Authority (ERA) seeking reinstatement. Air New Zealand responded by demanding to see her Facebook and bank details. Kensington refused, saying it did not have that information when it dismissed her and that "it is well accepted in New Zealand there are general and legal privacy expectations about people's personal and financial information". But the ERA ordered she must hand over details for March 8 and 9 this year - saying they would provide "substantially helpful" evidence. "The explanation for taking sick leave must be tested for veracity," said ERA member Tania Tetitaha. Facebook information had been used previously to sack people, but adding bank account data went a step further, Scott-Howman said. He warned there would be a backlash from workers. "I don't really know that society has seen this sort of thing previously. But at a time when we think we are behaving privately, or at least within a restricted circle of friends, we are actually effectively on trial." He said courts always wanted to get "the best evidence". "And the courts see Facebook as a wonderful asset because all of a sudden not only do we have the potential for pictures and so forth but . . . we can see what time statements were made and pictures were taken." He said globally, and in New Zealand in relation to the GCSB law changes, people were fighting back against such intrusion. "Because while this is best evidence . . . doesn't it creep you out a bit? It feels intrusive and just, frankly, wrong." He said it was a form of spying on staff. "Sometimes it is actually OK to spy, if you are on my time and you are doing something bad - but the question is where you draw the line." Scott-Howman said Parliament would be forced to pass laws to stop bosses and the ERA going too far. He said the ERA could simply demand evidence be produced. The most high-profile Facebook sacking case involves Gisborne man Bruce Taiapa, who applied for a week's unpaid leave in March 2011 to attend a waka ama championship. He was granted three days, but then took the rest of the week as sick leave, claiming he had an injured leg. He lost his job after his boss saw photos of him on Facebook, taken at the waka ama championships. The ERA upheld his sacking. Air New Zealand and Kensington's lawyers declined to comment on her case while it was still before the courts. A hearing was held last Monday, but the findings are yet to be released. - © Fairfax NZ News ### Why use Linkedin for Social Networking? Why use LinkedIn? Because people tune out irrelevant or promotional messages to focus on useful, engaging content. Businesses and professionals that inform and engage are not just selling – they’re building relationships. LinkedIn helps you forge relationships with  acquaintances in a non invasive online space. The statistics tell us that 50 percent of businesses are more likely to buy  from a company or person that they engage have with on LinkedIn. What do you have to loose?

Social Media Tip | How to connect with your Facebook Business Page Fans? - A few easy to use social media tips to increase Facebook engagement. Consider putting other people and business in the spotlight on your Facebook business page. Highlight your clients, or other business.  Put the focus on them.  This tends to increase engagement.  For example - If somebody is wearing your clothing, ask them to upload a personal photograph, if they are driving your vehicle - what about some scenic shots including their car. Have you considered a private community or private Facebook group for your clients? Invite your customers into a private community on Facebook where they can interact with you and one another.  They could share stories, find new uses of your product, or perhaps support each other.  A united forum for fans of your products. Post Video Updates Your customers  view you as an expert in the industry.  Share weekly videos that include product / service updates or tips. Your social media fans will continue to come back to your page if you continue to share great advice. Have you thought about offering great discounts and or promo codes? You can stay connected to your customers using Facebook by posting discounts and promotional codes for your business products and services on your facebook page.   Make these sought after  so set a limit on the access to a promo code to a limited number of  people. If a customer sees an expired promo code, they will be  likely check back to see when the next one is posted. Share a pre sale notice Reward your facebook fans by sharing news of an upcoming sale.  They will be happy to be rewarded for being a loyal fan and what better reward than being first to "grab a bargain". Post unrelated content No body wants to hear about business all the time.  Maintain an interesting facebook page where your fans will be entertained and engaged.  This is the sort of company they want to follow.    Having fun with you will strengthen their ties to you and this is the entire focus of social media. Share Stories Share stories to build trust and reliability.

Originally announced in January 2013 and dubbed Graph Search, the new search engine lets you search your Facebook social graph for people, places, photos and interests. With the new search engine, users will be able to ask specific questions, such as "which of my friends live in New York?" Graph Search is also integrated with Microsoft's Bing, meaning it will offer web search results if it can't find anything useful in your graph According to The New York Times, Graph Search is still far from perfect: it can't find info in status updates, it can't leverage data from third-party apps (even Instagram), and it's not available in Facebook mobile apps.

It takes time and effort to produce blog posts, construct Facebook engaging content and generate powerful tweets for twitter.  This when you are already trying to manage your already overflowing to do list.  Overwhelming is a word that I often hear. Social media and content marketing require incredibly hard work if you are going to experience the full benefits that can be achieved by marketing and promoting your business in this medium. As a result of businesses and professionals coming to this realization, many may turn to content curation as their primary source of content generation for their social media networks.   In today's world, there are many sources online with great content - so why not share this content with your audience? Perhaps we should explore the pros and cons of content creation vs. content curation. CONTENT CREATION What are the benefits of creating your own content? The content you create is exclusively yours -your experience, your knowledge, your testimonials, your case studies. Via the release of your own content, you will build an authority status on you particular subject matter. Consumers or potential customers who enjoyed reading your content will need to come to you as the source of knowledge, and may return for more information or to ask you some further questions. The value you offer will be unique to your audience and as a result you will be able to generate a loyal set of followers who are being constantly exposed to your brand message. Through your experience sharing, you will be able to directly demonstrate your business’ knowledge and expertise. The content you generate can be optimized for your search criteria and targeted keywords.  The result - improving your business's search engine rankings. As the words are generated by you,  the tone and personality of your business can be highlighted in your unique articles. Your content can work toward addressing your business’ unique goals and objectives for that particular social network or medium. So what are the con's - what keeps some businesses from generating their own content on a regular basis? Here are some of my perceived obstacles to original content creation. It is time consuming. There is pressure to be constantly generating new content and business owners are already busy. Social media success is a journey and real measurable success through content marketing is not achieved overnight. Then there is the expense.  Professional video creation, great graphics and imagery. All of this can be expensive. Publishing your content on line could within certain industries and professions open up your organisation to criticism or questioning. So what alternatives can we find that still provides us with content- perhaps we could use  content generated by others and not by us? CONTENT CURATION This entails finding relevant content pertaining to your business, posting it to your social media networks. What would the benefits be of content curation? There are many reliable sources of great content. It takes considerably less time to curate content than to create unique content. As you are not generating your own content you are probably going to share or post information more regularly. Social media is about sharing other peoples content- so that must be a good thing? There are many tools that are available to make curating content incredibly efficient. So perhaps this sounds like the answer to those that are time poor or is it really a solution? Curated content will never showcase your capabilities, expertise or experience. In sharing other peoples content you may inadvertently be promoting the competition. Your content sharing calendar may become dependent on the content stream being generated by others. Engagement statistics may be lower as the stats may revert to the original source of the content. Curated content may not be targeted to your business objectives. SO WHAT IS THE ANSWER TO THIS DILEMMA? In my opinion, creating unique content for your social media channels and networks vs. curating relevant content for sharing and engaging are both valid approaches to ensuring your have a constant feed of entertaining and readable content.  You may want to experiment with your social networking site and obtain an optimum ratio that works well with your audience. As a rule of thumb, I would highly recommend that your social site is updated with at least one piece of new and unique content each week.  Curated content is then utilised to fill the remaining content release funnel. This will allow you to provide your audience with a healthy and manageable mix of uniquely created content and curated content  and therefore maximize your ability to consistently provide value to your current and potential client base whilst also demonstrating what your business or profession is all about.

Facebook crashes, no injuries. Source: stuff.co.nz Facebook, the world's most popular social network, appeared to temporarily crash globally this afternoon. The anarchist digital group calling themselves Anonymous claimed credit for it. Facebook itself HAS yet to say anything about it. Users said they were unable to login to Facebook, or "a website that uses Facebook Connect" for a short period of time this afternoon. "I get an error message that says, "Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can,"" Another person tweeted. Facebook's photo-sharing service, Instagram, did not appear to be affected by the outage. As the site resumed function, users posted complaints on the Facebook Engineering page. One user said they were "getting error messages for everything now," and others commented, "it's down!". "Hmm, possible shredding of documents as part of FB cover up to NSA, yeah sounds good, call it an outage!" Another user added. Ironically, downrightnowcom - a website that monitored user reports and website outages - had also crashed. The last major Facebook outage was September 24 2010 when the site was out of action for over two and a half hours. On rival social media Twitter the crash caused hectic multi-lingual angst with many of the complaints coming from Brazil. One Twitter user from Portugal said "TANGO DOWN by ANONYMOUS LEADER Blame #todopoderoso it for global warming and everything else." None of it was explained. Others on Twitter were lighthearted: "Where were you during the Great Facebook Crash of 2013?" and "productivity rates just sky rocketed after that facebook crash". Allen Renfro of the US reported on Twitter: "The Facebook crash is big news. It even made Twitter." Others were grumpy. "Difference between Facebook & everybody else. We don't crash ever! If the servers are down, our entire reputation is irreversibly destroyed." Another wondered if they were responsible: "I used "#facebook" in a status update on Facebook, & now seem to have caused the entire site to crash for the last 5 minutes. #MyBad #Sorry". Mega founder and internet millionaire Kim Dotcom even jokingly tweeted that the crash was linked to the American NSA's PRISM programme. "#NSA is upgrading #Prism capacity on Facebook today. Expect service interruptions on Facebook for the next few hours :-)" - © Fairfax NZ News   Save ### Buying LIKES for your Social Media Networks. Good or bad? In our opinion, do not buy likes. Think about it, buy likes and your acquired fans will not have any genuine interest in your product or service and certainty won’t be receptive to anything you do.  They may very well not even reside in New Zealand. So that really means that they are of little or no real value to you. Yes the numbers may look great on your page but in reality, that will mean very little for your business. If you have been in any of my presentations or training sessions, I cover this very question. It makes much more sense to build your social media network communities organically which is always our social media coaches preferred approach. Sure, this takes a little longer to achieve, but it will result in a much higher quality of fan who will have real intrinsic value for your business.   ### Our Social Media Services and Online Marketing Our Social Media Services Net Branding is a social media marketing and online services  business.

But how - what easy to follow tips could you implement in order to expand and grow your business network? Once you’ve created your new LinkedIn profile, you want to grow your LinkedIn network, you want to connect with as many relevant people as you possibly can.  So consider some of the following suggestions. Write a Personal Message that accompanies your Invite to Connect.  The majority of people connecting with you on Linkedin do not do this.  Stand out in the crowd.  This increases your chances of making the connection with your potential new LinkedIn contact.  Make Yourself Memorable. If you met the person last night at a business event, use this as an opportunity to thank them for the great discussion.  If you’ve been following their blog and believe there is some mutual advantage to being connected, tell them that you have been following their blog and loved their article on “x”.  Give them an opportunity to not “put the phone down” on your request but to rather accept your request and allow you to join their network, become a new acquintance and receive their regular updates and news.  Be Succinct, yet Personal.  Your invite – what should you say?  It does not have to be a lengthy invite but consider the following examples. Hi Sarah, It was great chatting to you at Mary’s business breakfast last Thursday.  Here’s hoping we can stay connected via LinkedIn. Kind Regards Jo Or Hi Bob, I heard about your great blog via a client of yours and I’ve been following it with keen interest.  It would be great to become part of your LinkedIn Network.  Thanks Bill It may sound basic but letting potential connections know why they should bother connecting with you can make a large difference to the number of valued connections you make within this social media and business networking tool. I hope that these few pointers can assist you as you grow your Linkedin Business Network Cathy Mellett Social Media Coach at Auckland Social Media company Net Branding.

[button link="https://netbranding.co.nz/contact-us/" size="medium" variation="blue" align="center" target="blank"]Connect with a Social Media Coach[/button] Shared with you by Auckland Social Media Company Net Branding Source: stuff.co.nz If you accumulate "connections, friends and followers" through websites such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter in the course of your job, you may think that contact information belongs to you. But a judgment issued by a United States court in March suggests employers could be within their rights to demand staff hand over details of their networks when they quit their jobs, according to John Hannan, a partner in Auckland law firm DLA Philips Fox. Businesses might be able to prevent staff from updating their social-media contacts with details of their new employer and could even force them to hand over their accounts, he said. That was most likely to be the case if their boss had first made that clear in an employment agreement or had picked up the bill for a "premium" social-media account, he said. Pennsylvania District Court judge Ronald Buckwalter actually rejected a claim by online training company EdComm to a LinkedIn account set up by a former employee, Linda Eagle, in his much-anticipated judgment. But Hannan said Judge Buckwalter indicated his ruling could have been different had the company paid for the account, made social-media part of Eagle's duties or ensured her LinkedIn account was built during work time. Hannan also noted British recruitment firm Hays had succeeded in obtaining a court order in 2008 that prevented a former staff member from using LinkedIn contacts that he accumulated during his employment to later solicit business for his own rival recruitment company. Facebook and LinkedIn as well as Twitter did not respond to requests for comment. Hannan said DLA Philips Fox was starting to see Kiwi employers take a strong interest and he forecast a growing number of tussles between bosses and staff over social networks. "The organisations that have a particular interest are those that rely on sales networks, relationships and knowing their clients' business." LinkedIn was likely to be on the frontline because it was a professional networking tool, he said. "You probably wouldn't want to have your business's connections ‘friended' on Facebook where they can see all the crazy things you do in your completely personal life." The nub of the issue was that some companies that might in the past have managed clients through their own database or contact management system were now relying on staff to do so through social media, which might also blur into personal use. "[LinkedIn] can be used in pretty much the same way as an employer would use a client relationship management database." Firms would be within their rights to make it a condition of employment that their staff used LinkedIn and that contact information generated in the course of their employment belonged to the company, he said. "You could have a specific clause that prevented ex-staff from sending out updates to those contacts or from changing their employment profile for a certain number of months after leaving the company. "You might even say, ‘we are entitled to take over your account and control it for a period', three months or something of that nature. That has certainly been attempted in the US. If an employer is paying the employee's salary to develop this sort of network then the employer might at least be entitled to control access to it for a period." Hannan said he was not aware of any formal disputes in New Zealand, but knew of "demands being made of employees". In one case, an employer was aggrieved that a former sales intermediary had left to join a company in the same industry and had changed their LinkedIn profile to list their new employer. "All of their contacts on LinkedIn, which would include clients of the previous employer, get an update to say where that staff member now is. "If that staff member is subject to a ‘restraint of trade' clause which says they are not to solicit or approach the clients of the former employer, it seems to me that doing that might well be enough to regard them as having solicited those clients," he said. Wellington employment law specialist, Susan Hornsby-Geluk, who recently left law firm Chen Palmer to set up her own practice, Dundas Street Employment Lawyers, said the ownership of social networks created in work time was "a grey area" that had generally not been considered by employers. She also forecast a growing number of disputes. Employers could stipulate any use of work computers to engage in social media was to be only for work-related purposes and therefore, when staff left, their view was that those networks were the property of the employer, she said. "If you have made those rules clear from the outset, the employee would understand that," she believed. However, employers would be "pushing uphill" if they tried to assert rights that they had not established up front. "Things like Facebook or LinkedIn accounts, even if they have been set up by an employee in work time, would generally be something which is personal to the employee." It could be a fine line, she said. "LinkedIn refers to people's current employment position, so it is arguable they have got the contacts they have got because of the fact of their employment. "Have they built up those contacts on the back of the employer's business or has that been independently? Really, the question is: ‘Has the employee taken unfair advantage of their previous employer by taking client information and using that to the previous employer's disadvantage?'

How to Convince Anyone that Social Media Marketing is Worthwhile So you are having trouble convincing your clients, a business partner or perhaps even yourself that a social media presence is worthwhile? If you speak to a social media agency or consultant, they will emphasize that social media builds brand and product awareness. But what does that really mean, and how can you use social media to accomplish your broader business goals and objectives? Let’s consider one of the fundamental goals for most businesses, namely to create new customers. Often the first step in this conversion process is to let them know you exist. The second step is for clients or potential clients to align with your business and “like” your brand. Why? Because people buy from people – and yes, they buy brands, products or services from people who they can relate to. Social media is fast becoming a part of everyday life with more and more people communicating regularly via platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, FourSquare and FriendFeed. Add to this the growth of YouTube, iTunes, Vimeo, Tumblr, Pinterest and other such content sharing sites and you can see why social media is becoming an important element in the marketing mix. In addition, access to these social networking sites is now so much easier. The popularity of the iPhone and other similar 3G handsets, the arrival of the iPad and other tablet like devices is incrementally increasing the level of activity in social media via online communication. The ability to access information anywhere and anytime is changing the way we engage and communicate and businesses need to respond proactively to this new phenomenon if they want to engage with their customers in an environment already being frequented by those customers. If you are still not convinced then consider the pertinent question “why is social media worth your time and investment?”: Social media is where your customers are. As previously stated, most people are already using social media in one way or another for example Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, mobile apps and games. These are all part and parcel of life as we’ve come to know it. Interacting or engaging in that online environment puts your company’s brand and product messages in a forum where they can be shared and commented upon. This has the ability to create awareness, perceived community involvement, general interest and the ultimate flow on effect of sales. Social media levels the advertising playing field. Whether you are a big brand, a service professional, a not for profit business or small startup business, social media has created an even playing field on which brands, businesses and organisations can now compete. The advantage is still with larger, more established brands, simply because they start out with large and existing fan bases. They probably also have larger budgets for media spend. But that does not mean you are defeated. With consistent effort and creativity, you could reach the same audience. Consider if Social media is already helping the competition. A commonly used statement is that the early up takers will have the early gains. Have your business competitors embraced social media and are they already achieving online traction? Social media cannot be ignored. Even if you choose not to be active, you should at least be aware of the power of social media and the potential threats to your brand regardless of your online participation. Social media is searchable. Are people searching for your product or service? How are they looking? Most likely, online search is one of the top ways. The phrase “Google It” has become commonly used when thinking about finding information. Social media can affect your company’s organic online search results as well as provide an entry point to your website, blog or landing pages. Statistics show that YouTube is the second largest search engine, meaning videos get ranked high in Google results and video has undeniably become a must have feature on your website. Other social media networks such as LinkedIn and Twitter are also searchable. Social media content – the shareable factor. Content marketing is an essential component of social media, namely creating and sharing information of interest. This could be interesting news, videos, articles, photos, or great graphics. In the past, if we were to share an article with a friend we would have had to physically tear the copy out of a printed magazine or newspaper, or photocopy the relevant article of interest in order to share. Today, sharing content is usually only a one click process. How much easier does this not make the sharing process? Social media allows for real-time feedback and engagement. Through the process of creating content, sharing, engaging or interacting, you can find out more about what is important to your current and future clients and customers. This allows you to focus future marketing campaigns. Social media has a greater lifespan than other media (and it is certainly more cost-effective). Your company’s videos, tweets, pins, and posts “live” online and in Google / online search results for a very long time. Unlike TV ads, magazines, newspaper adverts or billboards that are taken down once they’ve run their course, social media content stays online, working for you. This content continues to increase your digital footprint with each new bit of information and content that you share. Social media is one click away from the online store or contact me page. If your customer is staring at your printed advertisement in a newspaper or billboard at the railway station, they simply cannot gain access to the contact you info or buy now page (unless you are using a QR Code and they’ve got a smart phone at hand). Once a customer is online and thought is given to your “call to action” statement, driving traffic to your appropriate online pages is usually only a click away.

Half of Kiwi SMEs Missing Out their Online Presence. As what Bill Gates said, "If your business is not on the internet, then you will be out of business in no time" If you fall into the "we don't have a web presence category please contact the Net Branding team in Auckland. Wednesday, 8 May 2013, 11:22 am Press Release: Yellow Half of Kiwi SMEs Missing Out Online Survey investigates the ‘digital readiness’ of Kiwi businesses with surprising findings • 50 per cent of Kiwi SMEs don’t have a website • Nearly 20 per cent of businesses confess they don’t use any online tools • Many regional businesses are leading the way versus big city counterparts New Zealand small to medium enterprises[1] (SMEs) aren’t harnessing the power of digital marketing, according to the Yellow SME Digital Readiness Survey [2] released today. Just 50 per cent of businesses surveyed have a website and nearly 20 per cent say they don’t use any online tools in their marketing mix. The survey conducted by Colmar Brunton measured how SMEs use a range of digital marketing tools from social media, to websites and mobile applications. Evan Lawrey, marketing director at Yellow® said the Yellow SME Digital Readiness Survey was commissioned to understand how savvy Kiwi businesses are in a digital environment and some of the results were unexpected. “Surprisingly, we’ve found it can be SMEs in the main cities that lag behind. For example just 40 per cent of Auckland businesses are using social media tools such as Facebook, versus 65 per cent in Southland,” says Lawrey. There was digital strength in Otago and the Tasman region too, with the vast majority of businesses (92 and 93 per cent respectively) having at least one online tool, compared to a national average of 81 per cent. Northland fared the worst with just 71 per cent of businesses having an online presence. But Lawrey points out that it’s the low uptake of websites (just 50 per cent) and the fact that one in five businesses use no online marketing that is of most concern, especially when compared to the latest research into consumer behaviour. “Each month 57 per cent[3] of Kiwis use the web to search for businesses, products and services and of those 17 per cent[4] use the internet exclusively. If half of all small to medium businesses aren’t online, they’re missing a huge opportunity,” adds Lawrey. The findings have drawn the attention of Tenby Powell, a passionate SME advocate who is convener of the Government’s Small Business Development Group and founder of the New Zealand SME Business Network. “Business owners know they need a digital presence, but often they’re time poor and not sure where to start. But, to succeed in the current climate, it is vital business owners keep abreast of digital channels,” says Powell. As a result of the findings, Yellow® is hosting a nationwide series of free events called The Biz™ in May and June, designed to help SMEs run their business better. Tenby Powell will speak at some of the events, along with a range of experts in digital marketing, research, business planning and finance, and inspiring business owners. The Yellow SME Digital Readiness Survey also asked businesses of their intentions for the year, and it revealed that 31 per cent of businesses are planning to increase their advertising and promotional spend on new and existing online channels this year. The findings indicate of those businesses that do have a website, around a third are considering boosting their digital presence with the following tools: • 28 per cent plan to invest in mobile channels (either ensuring their website is mobile optimised, building an app, or using text messages to communicate with customers) • 38 per cent plan to start using search engine marketing • 32 per cent plan to start using search engine optimisation • 31 per cent plan to invest in video Evan Lawrey of Yellow® says that the findings suggest businesses with a digital presence are seeing the benefits. “These businesses are realising that it’s important to keep adding layers to their web offering, be it mobile or search marketing,” says Lawrey.

Save ### Each Facebook Like Is Worth $174 To Brands  Each Facebook Like Is Worth $174 To Brands April 17, 2013: Source All Facebook.com There are varying schools of thought about whether or not a value can be placed on Facebook likes, and social performance management platform Syncapse cast its vote for “yes” by pegging the value of likes to consumer brands on the social network at $174 each and saying that figure has risen 28 percent since 2010.Syncapse conducted its initial study of 20 top global consumer brands in 2010 and pegged the value of a like at $136 at the time.The company also pointed out that like totals have doubled or tripled for most of the brands since 2010, so any increase in value is magnified, adding that the brands it examined have risen from a few million fans in 2010 to more than 15 million in 2013, with some even eclipsing that figure (Coca-Cola has more than 63 million, and McDonald’s has surpassed 28 million). The study by Syncapse compared fans and non-fans in the categories of product spending, brand loyalty, propensity to recommend, media value, cost of acquisition, and brand affinity, and Syncapse said it collected data from more than 2,000 panelists in the U.S. in late January and early February. Syncapse Founder and CEO Michael Scissons said: Recent years have been characterized by hype and a competitive race to acquire the most Facebook fan connections, but brand marketers are sobering up and beginning to ask hard questions around the return on investment of social marketing. Perhaps no question is asked more than, “What is the value of a Facebook brand fan?” With this study, we applied stringent research methods to benchmark and measure the differences between users who have liked or fanned a brand on Facebook and those who have not, to determine their business value. ### Facebook Business Pages - Some Big DON'T Do's As a social media coach we are asked 'what must I do to improve my Facebook business pages ?' To answer that we thought we'd share some of the BIG don't do actions. Fighting with fans on Facebook. This will make you look bad. If somebody posts something negative on your Facebook page, remember to be professional and to move the dialogue to an offline environment. Spamming with posts Nobody likes spam. Keep your posts informative. It is a balance as you need to ensure that you Facebook page is active, current and does not look like a deserted page. The motto - keep it fun, newsworthy and interesting. Personal Information .. It is a business page after all. Don't share your personal information on Facebook. It's your business page not your personal one. So don't put your address, phone number or personal e-mail address on there, only your business ones. This also applies to personal social plans and photographs. Not following the Facebook guidelines This includes guidelines for timeline photos, contests and content.

Please keep the feedback coming. Shared from www.aboutnetworking.co.nz ### Twitter : new discovery feature Twitter may be the best way to figure out what’s happening around the world right now. But it sure ain’t great at telling me what’s going on in my world — that is, what’s happening down the block from me. That may change. According to multiple sources, Twitter is in the process of testing a new feature that lets you discover tweets from people within a certain distance of your location. The idea is to surface relevant activity based on where you are in the world, serving up tweets from others around you — whether you follow them or not. The feature, as I understand it, came out of the company’s recent hack week at the beginning of this month, where a few engineers worked on projects related to local discovery. A number of employees have been testing the feature in the Twitter app ever since. The type of tweets you’d see, ideally, are the most relevant ones nearby, especially when they follow a trend or a flurry of closely connected activity. So a football game or a concert, for instance, may be a great use case here. Or perhaps even more importantly, it could be used in completely unplanned, spontaneous instances. Here’s an example, and a real kicker: I’ve been told that a few employees were testing the new feature in Boston last week, around the time that the brothers Tsarnaev allegedly carried out a series of horrific bombings during the city’s annual marathon. When reached for comment, Twitter spokeswoman Carolyn Penner said the company had nothing to share on the matter. It’s fascinating to me that Twitter is toeing the waters of discovery through a local lens more explicitly than ever before. Currently and historically, the company already factors in location when suggesting content inside the Discover tab and also when serving you ads. It also goes without saying that to try this stuff out during the recent Boston tragedy — which was arguably watched by much of the world through Twitter just as intensely as it was over broadcast networks — is incredibly interesting, if only to imagine what possibilities it could hold for other mass events in the future. The big question for me: Twitter, what took you so freaking long? For a company that prides itself on its interest graph — the pulse of what everyone in the world is talking and thinking about — something like a localized version of discovery seems like a natural extension of what it means to use Twitter in a meaningful way. Yes, Twitter makes much of the foo foo special moments its users have when connecting with people on the other side of the planet (or in some cases, connecting to others off our planet entirely). I won’t begrudge them that; it is pretty fantastic. I’d argue, however, that Twitter could be infinitely more useful to me were I to open up the app and see something happening down the block: A yard sale, a car accident, half-off a tasty fried chicken sandwich. That’s Foursquare’s entire value proposition with its newly revamped, search-focused app. If done right, Twitter could potentially be even more powerful in this respect, feeding off the hundreds of millions of potential intent signals flowing through its pipes on a daily basis. So this may have come out of a recent hack week project, but ideas like this have been in the works for a long time. People I’ve spoken to said that for years Twitter has kicked around just exactly what discovery is supposed to mean for the company. Does Twitter relegate it to the Discover Tab alone and “experiment” with how people use it, as product VP Michael Sippey said at our D: Dive into Mobile conference recently? Or perhaps an even bigger coup: Does Twitter insert these local tweet suggestions into your main Twitter timeline directly? I hear Twitter has considered both options — again, for years people inside the company have agonized about the right way to handle this — but there’s no decision quite yet. To insert suggested location-based tweets into your main timeline, however, is a really big deal for Twitter. Touching the holy grail that is the timeline — the list of people that users have selected to follow — isn’t something the company takes lightly. For one, it could tick off Twitter’s early user base, or alienate all the folks who have carefully curated their follow lists over time. But here’s something to think about: Right now, Twitter isn’t worried about the longtime, early user base. The company is launching products on “Good Morning America.” It’s cooperating with the Grammys and the Oscars. It’s pushing products like Vine at Cannes. It’s making the head of comms into a consumer marketing director as well. The service’s 200 million active users pales in comparison to Facebook’s billion. Twitter needs to go truly mainstream. Ultimately, if that means changing some of the core elements of the product and peeving the hardcore Twitter users, I’d guess Twitter may soon be approaching the point that it is willing to make that choice. It has already chopped off the legs of its client developer base and shifted everyone’s attention to the official Twitter apps. My impression here, though, is that even Twitter isn’t sure yet what it wants to do. It could again test how this feature works within the Discover tab and maybe move it into the timeline later. Or perhaps just keep it inside Discover. Or, in all possibility, scrap the feature as it stands entirely and try it a different way. Twitter doesn’t move that fast on major changes like these. I will say, however, that I’m glad to see the company is at least looking at tweaking its formula, even if there’s potential to upset part of the user base. Frankly, it’s about time.

Competition on Facebook presents a great business opportunity to reach more potential players and grow your social media following. I've discussed this in previous news updates yet am amazed as to how many businesses still are not maximizing their opportunities or worse yet, not abiding by the Facebook rules. Let’s review some best practices when running a competition on Facebook and what to avoid to ensure the best outcome of your contest. DO: Use a third-party application to administer the contest. This follows Facebook’s Terms of Service, so you can rest easy knowing your page will not be in violation. Indicate that the promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by or associated with Facebook. Include a release of Facebook by each entrant or participant. Disclose that you, or your sponsors, are going to receive the information from the facebook users entries – not Facebook. Activate Like-gating. This requires the entrant to Like the Facebook page in order to enter the contest. For more information about Like-gating please contact the Net Branding social media coaches. Make sure you have a great prize. Your contest prize should closely align with the products and services you or your business actually offers. Make sure your contest is mobile-friendly. 50% of Facebook users are on their mobile phone – and this type of user access is growing rapidly. Promote, promote, promote. This is not a “if you build it, they will come” scenario. We have found that the emails you send to promote the contest are the single-most effective asset in these campaigns. Be creative in your status updates by using photos and videos to build interest. Also, now that Facebook has recently loosened their Cover Photo Guidelines, a custom cover photo can assist. Include an opt-in. One of the single-most important benefits of running Facebook contests is to take your fan base and convert them into a database that you actually own. There are a few additional must-haves on your registration form, such as email and postal code. Keep in mind, you cannot just add all of your contest entrants to your email database! In order to comply with SPAM laws, you must place a checkbox on your form where people can agree to receive email communications from you. Have a post-contest plan. Create a content strategy in place for what to do AFTER you get your new Facebook fans. This is just as important, if not more so, than running the contest itself. DON’T: Run contests using Facebook’s functionality. Contests where you “comment to win” or “Like/share this post to win” to enter not only violate Facebook’s Terms of Service, they do not provide the ability to collect any data and convert these fans into a database you own, like your email marketing program. Make it complicated. You will see much higher ROI and achieve the goals you actually want – more fans, more engagement, more opt-ins – if you keep it simple. Contact players directly via Facebook. Using features like Facebook messages, chat or writing on their timeline to notify winners is strictly against Facebook’s promotion guidelines.

Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg has publicly called Facebook a "mobile company" to emphasize the company's priorities. Last year, he splashed $1 billion for photo-sharing app Instagram, which has remained red hot, while Facebook also launched its own Messenger app, offering a suite of smartphone communication tools. But will it loose traction to some of the other messaging apps such as Whatsapp? Your thought? Save ### Social Media at its best Great Auckland morning. Meeting Dean at their offices whilst the kids play in the background.   Save ### Facebook trials revenue boosting ads Another revenue boosting trial in tge constantly changing social media world? Facebook today announced a small test of a plan to let marketers ( businesses) run more kinds of advertising in your desktop news feed. In particular, the test involves “page post link ads,” which are spots crafted from posts on a brand’s or business’s Facebook page and intended to direct people to the marketer’s own Web pages. Advertisers will be able to run them not just on the right-side ad section, but also in the news feed, the place where people spend most of their time on the social network–in other words, prime real estate. These ads plan to run through the Facebook ad exchange, which allows ads to be targeted to you based on your shopping and browsing habits across the entire Internet. A good thing or bad thing?   Save ### Facebook cover picture rules change again Earlier this month Facebook changed the cover picture rules again. Here's what Facebook had to say. This news brought to you by the social media coaches at Net Branding (Auckland). Ph: 0211229116 “All covers are public. This means that anyone who visits your page will be able to see your cover. Covers can’t be deceptive, misleading, or infringe on anyone else’s copyright. You may not encourage people to upload your cover to their personal timelines. Covers may not include images with more than 20 percent text.” Before you scramble to take advantage of the newly-relaxed rules, first remember that Facebook’s 20 percent text rule is still in effect and doesn’t exclude contact information or calls to action. Also, now that cover photos are being displayed within News Feed, choose an image that will encourage viewers to click through — in other words, don’t clutter it with contact details. ### SEO vs Content, blogs and websites A thought as so much focus gets placed on search engine optimization (SEO). Consider this. while it is often a lot easier and less daunting to fiddle around with SEO than to make yourself sit down and write, there is no shortcut to building a popular site. The surest way to improve your blog and website's ranking is to regularly publish interesting, unique and quality content that people want to read. Blogging is king.

In business, social media is becoming a lot like email – every company should have it.  Yet businesses are still coming to terms with social media and are often neglectful of the all-important infrastructure,  both organisational and technical, created to support it. So how can an organisation (no matter what size) approach social media and how can their planning, processes, and outcomes develop to embrace this form of marketing. Perhaps the first key element is to review your business goals –“How can social media marketing be aligned with these?”  The second element should focus on ensuring that the business has  organisational alignment and support for the execution of any of  those  social media elements. So what are the basic stages for Social Media Transformation within any business? 1.  The Planning – we listen and learn! Listen to your customers to learn about their social behaviour.  Use a few test projects to be able to prioritize social efforts.  Develop internal systems and resources to prepare for the execution. 2.  The Presence – stake your claim! Reflect upon the fact that this will be a  journey for your business and an evolutionary strategy as new tools develop or tools change their mechanics however the key elements within this space is  the fact that business should accept that a presence is social media will encompass both  formal and informal.  Key elements will be amplify existing marketing efforts, to support clients in pre and post transaction issues and ensuring you maintain alignment with your business objectives. 3.  Engagement – As the dialog develops, the relationship deepens. At this stage, social media becomes a critical element in relationship building and it is no longer viewed as an “add on”.  It can be utilised to engage and build communities, speed the path to purchase or alignment with a business service (create that warm market), provide support for direct engagement with people, establish mood and market opportunities. 4.  Formalized and co-ordinated initiatives A focus on ensuring the social media infrastructure supports a growing social network / base.  There is an executive sponsor (or champion) identified within the business, the social media team has organisational wide governance (represented across the organisation or business).

Facebook shakes up News Feed Source: nz stuff. 08/03/2013 Facebook is trying to breathe new life into its social network with a redesign of its News Feed. Amid complaints that company's site has become a jumble of monotonous musings and random pictures, the overhaul offers new controls that allow people to create streams of photos and other material in organised sections. With the makeover, which began rolling out on Thursday (Friday NZ time), Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg hopes to turn the News Feed into something more like a newspaper custom-made to suit the particular interests for each of the social network's more than 1 billion worldwide users. With the new features users will be able to choose to see feeds that may feature nothing but photos or exclusively see posts from their closest friends, family members or favourite businesses. Or they can just peruse content about music, or sports, as if they were grabbing the section of a newspaper. Other newspaper-like changes will include lists of events that their social circles have flagged for the upcoming weekend and other summaries meant to resemble a table of contents. By adding more personal touches, Facebook is acknowledged that the computer-generated formulas that it has been using to determine the content shown to each user have become less effective as the social circles within its network have widened to include a more diverse array of information. "This gives people more power to dig deeper into the topics they care about," Zuckerberg said while discussing the makeover at Facebook's Menlo Park, California headquarters. Facebook still intends to rely on algorithms to select some of material to feature on the main part of the News Feed, much like newspaper editors determine what goes on the front page. More space on the News Feed's front page and other sections space will be devoted to pictures and video in recognition of how dominant those visual elements have become on Facebook as smartphones and tablet computers equipped with high-quality cameras have made it easier to share snapshots and clips. About 50 percent of the posts on News Feed include a photo or video now, up from 25 percent in late 2011, Zuckerberg said. The changes to News Feed are meant to make Facebook a more fun place to hang out and avoid turning into an internet has-been like other once trendy social networks such as Friendster and MySpace. Although Facebook's website remains one of the internet's top destinations, there have been early signs that the social network is losing some of its pizazz, particularly among younger web surfers who are starting to spend more time on other fraternising hubs such as Tumblr, Pinterest and Instagram, a photo-sharing site that Facebook bought last year. The phenomenon, known as "Facebook Fatigue," was recently documented in a report from Pew Research Center's internet and American Life Project. The study found that about 61 percent of Facebook users had taken a hiatus for reasons that range from boredom to too much irrelevant information to Lent. That's a worrisome trend for Facebook because it needs to ensure its audience keeps coming back so it can learn more about their interests and, ultimately, sell more of the advertising that brings in most of the company's revenue. - AP ### Social Media Business Planning for Small to Medium size Businesses - Your Digital Assets HOW TO PROTECT YOU BUSINESS DIGITAL ASSETS: In today’s social media world, the social media presence of a small to medium size company is usually delegated to one person (whether this is internal to your organisation or external to your organisation).

Source Ragans PR daily Burger King regained control of its Twitter account Monday night, after a day in which its feed was overtaken by hackers and made to look like McDonald’s. The breach began in the morning on Monday and lasted for hours. Hackers tweeted a flurry of messages, most of them made little sense and contained offensive language. By the afternoon, Twitter had suspended the account. Burger King did not update its Facebook page on Monday, though it did release this statement to the media: "We have worked directly with administrators to suspend the account until we are able to re-establish our legitimate site and authentic postings. We apologize to our fans and followers who have been receiving erroneous tweets about other members of our industry and additional inappropriate topics." Anyone who’s managed a brand account can certainly empathize. In the hours after the hack, even McDonald’s tweeted from its verified account: As bad as it seemed, the fallout won’t be severe—just a week or so of mass embarrassment and a lifelong cautionary tale for PR pros, marketers, and social media gurus everywhere. But it’s unlikely that the brand itself will take any kind of real hit. The word “Whopper” will not suddenly become synonymous with this or any social media hack. In fact, some are even seeing obvious positives in the wake of the fiasco. Cameron McPherson, of strategic communications firm The Hodges Partnership, points out that Burger King saw an increase in followers (more than 30,000) and as well as a number of media mentions. Monday was a slow news day. That the account was hacked and made to resemble that of its notorious rival probably served to fuel the fire. That’s not to minimize the severity of the situation. It’s a huge deal if you’re the people that manage the Burger King account. But it was done in such outlandish fashion that there was no question that it was a hack job from the very beginning. With a more thought-out and subversive approach, you could do some real damage. As it happened, however, it just looked like a bunch of teens messing around. I mean, they linked to a Chief Keef video. You can’t get much more amateur than that. Still, it’s not difficult to extrapolate and see how social media accounts could be an avenue for some crazy corporate sabotage. Therefore, a more likely effect will be that C-level executives could become less gung-ho about signing off on any big social executions. If all they see is nightmare headlines and no extra product moving off shelves, they’ll ask, What’s the point? That said, here are a few measures social media managers should be taking to ensure that they can avoid or mitigate these scenarios. 1. Change your passwords regularly. And change them to something obscure that has nothing to do with the product you sell. Random numbers, letters, and symbols are your best friend. We change our passwords every month—that will probably change to every two weeks in light of this development. 2. Have procedures in place to stop an attack in its tracks. Create a fail-proof social escalation policy that can end something like this before it gets out of hand. Have the assets you need on hand to be able to restore the images on your profile. 3. Minimize the number of mobile devices that can access the account. If you look at all the apps that can access your account, you should know for certain where they’re all coming from and what their purpose is. If you’re unsure about any of them, ax them. 4. Make it mandatory that any mobile phones that link to corporate accounts are password protected. That way, if you leave your phone at, say, a Burger King and you’re signed into your brand’s account, no one can have easy access to it. Similarly, make sure that if you leave your computer at, say, a Burger King, it’s not logged into any accounts. Password protect everything that allows access to accounts that are password protected. Thinking about the computer I’m typing on, if I were to leave it somewhere and some swarthy character logged onto Facebook, they would be able to wreak havoc on about six different accounts (none of which are my personal account). That’s pretty scary when you think about it. 5. Change your passwords every time someone leaves the company—whether or not it’s amicable. Don’t trust people. There’s too much at stake here. ### Facebook Like Button .. But Facebook definitely DisLikes this Source: mashable The social network is currently being sued for its use of the Like button, a feature which was patented by Dutch programmer Joannes Jozef Everardus van Der Meer in 1998, five years before Facebook’s launch. The patents were granted as part of the functionality of Surfbook, a social diary created by Van Der Meer that allowed users to “like” each other’s content. Van Der Meer has passed away. However, the patent holder –- Rembrandt Social Media, LP — has chosen to seek legal action against Facebook, as well as the company AddThis, for using the patents without permission. "We believe Rembrandt's patents represent an important foundation of social media as we know it, and we expect a judge and jury to reach the same conclusion based on the evidence," attorney Tom Melsheimer, counsel for Rembrandt, said in a statement. The lawsuit was filed in Virginia on Feb. 5. Do you think the Like button is something that can and should be patented? Tell us your thoughts on the suit in the comments. Save ### Facebook a serious part of your social business "Business should seriously consider Facebook as a social media platform if they have not done so already", says Cathy Mellett of Net Branding in Auckland. It is Facebook’s massive reach across the web that may soon prove to be a hugely powerful weapon in the search space. As you may know, Facebook recently unveiled its new Graph Search tool in beta. It’s still rolling out, and Facebook is working to bring many more features to it. During the recent announcement, Mark Zuckerberg indicated that Facebook’s Open Graph would be added in the future. One has to imagine that Facebook-related activity (which could be any number of things as long as people are logged in) on sites across the web will be part of the equation, which could actually play a major role in ranking content. In our opinion Facebook should be part of your social media rollout. It's impact on your business online presence and community involvement should not be underestimated.

You may want to retract that post! The notice in question reads a little like this: Hello, my FB friends: I want to stay PRIVATELY connected with you. I post shots of my family that I don’t want strangers to have access to!!! However, with the recent changes in FB, the “public” can now see activities in ANY wall. This happens when our friend hits “like” or “comment” ~ automatically, their friends would see our posts too. Unfortunately, we can not change this setting by ourselves because Facebook has configured it this way. PLEASE place your mouse over my name above (DO NOT CLICK), a window will appear, now move the mouse on “FRIENDS” (also without clicking), then down to “Settings”, click here and a list will appear. REMOVE the CHECK on “COMMENTS & LIKE” and also “PHOTOS”. By doing this, my activity among my friends and family will no longer become public. Now, copy and paste this on your wall. Once I see this posted on your page I will do the same. Thanks! If your friends go through the steps above, what this actually does is hide you from their newsfeed. If you uncheck “Comments & Likes” for example, your friends will no longer see your comments and likes. It does not affect how the public sees you or your posts. Conversely, if you follow the steps above for a friend, you’ll see less of them in your newsfeed. It is a hoax. These steps do nothing to affect a person’s public posts, and will only disconnect you and your friends. In other words, you have just told all of your friends on Facebook to see less of you without affecting public posts. Certainly in some cases you may want to see less of some Facebook friends, but that’s not what this hoax is implying. If you only want your friends – and only friends – to see your posts on Facebook, go into your Privacy Settings, and be sure to that it is set to “Friends” for who can see your posts. You can also “limit past posts” in this area as well. This is the only way to ensure that you and your friend stay privately connected. If you see someone posting this hoax, drop a link to this article in the comments to set them straight!

Facebook has specific rules you must adhere to when creating offers,. This detail is found within their page guidelines. For your ease of use, please find below some of the rules to be used when setting up a Facebook offer for your business. 1. Don’t break the Rules. Facebook: “You are responsible for ensuring that your offer complies with these terms and all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Offers are subject to many regulations (such as alcohol discounts and offers marketed to minors) and if you are not certain that your offer complies with applicable law, consult with an expert.” This rule sounds basic but consider those Facebook pages with operations in multiple countries and governed by differing legislation. It pays to ensure you are in compliance with the laws of that country. 2. Disclose Restrictions Facebook: “If there are any restrictions on your offer (such as expiration date or limitations on redemption), you must disclose those restrictions to users in the terms and conditions section of the offer.” You need to mention the restrictions on the offer. Is your offer is only available to those of a certain age, is limited to one per person, or is only valid until a certain date. This restriction has to be disclosed. 3. If you Like my Post…. You must not condition registration or entry upon the user taking any action using any Facebook features or functionality other than liking a Page, checking in to a Place, or connecting to your app. For example, you must not condition registration or entry upon the user liking a Wall post, or commenting or uploading a photo on a Wall. 4. You are Responsible for Fraud Facebook: “You are solely responsible for improper redemption, fraud or other issues that arise from the distribution and/or redemption of your offer.” This is basically a disclaimer from Facebook. We are not responsible. It is your business’s responsibility to monitor whether or not redemption of any coupons or offer is fraudulent. 5. No Gift Voucher | Gift Card | Gift Certificate Facebook: “You must not use Facebook’s offer creator to offer the equivalent of a gift card, gift certificate or stored value card.” You are not allowed to promote an offer as if it’s a Gift Certificate or Gift Card. For example, you cannot create an offer that is $100 off anything in store. An offer cannot be used in place of cash. 6. You Communicate with the Merchants Facebook: “If your offer may be redeemed at a merchant not operated by you, it is your sole responsibility to communicate with the participating merchant.” E.g if your offer is for a pair of shoes that has to be redeemed at the shoe shop. It is your sole responsibility to communicate with that particular Merchamt |Store | Business. These rules as per Facebook Rules and Guidelines as at 4 February 2012 and explained by the Net Branding Social Media Team. We are providers of affordable, integrated and comprehensive social media solutions.

SEO is about optimizing and increasing the visibility of your website and content by including keywords that help your website rank high in organic search results (i.e., not because of paid advertisements on search engines eg google adwords). The higher your content and site ranks in a search engine’s results list, the more likely someone (a potential customer | client) will find and click on the link to your content. Plus, once your website ranks high, all future content will enjoy the benefit of greater visibility. And the steady flow of additional content will help you maintain that search engine ranking. You’ll be creating a truly self perpetuating circle. To find out more about increasing your online visibility contact our Net Branding team. ### Social media for Pets... Is Fido allowed a Facebook profile? Should your 4 legged baby have a Facebook page? Article Source: Examiner.com. Facebook is a serious business, and there are rules to follow. That's why the social media giant is getting ready to close more than 83 million accounts. These accounts are fakes, frauds, imposters and spammers. They are also Facebook accounts that users set up for their dogs, cats and babies. On August 1, 2012, Facebook " ... said that 8.7 percent of its 955 million monthly active users worldwide are actually duplicate or false accounts," reported ABC News affiliate KVUE. Those are the accounts being targeted for closure. Why is Facebook making this bold move? "On Facebook we have a really large commitment in general to finding and disabling false accounts," Facebook's chief security officer Joe Sullivan told CNN. "Our entire platform is based on people using their real identities." Facebook has a place for pages dedicated to cats, ferrets and softball teams, but people are not using them correctly. Instead users are setting up personal pages for improper usage. That includes people who create dummy accounts for Facebook stalking purposes. Anyone who wants to maintain a page for Rover or Fluffy needs to use Facebook's "Pages" option. ### Graph Search a third pillar next to newsfeed and timeline | Social Media Today NZ A little more on Graph Search with Facebook. The social network unveiled a new search tool, Graph Search, that Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg described as the "third pillar" of Facebook, alongside News Feed and Timeline. Graph Search is initially launching in beta as a limited preview for U.S. audiences only. ### Facebook Graph Search - Today's announcement shared on our Social Media Today NZ blog I shared a  blog post earlier in the month about the pending Facebook announcement.  The day has arrived ..... Facebook Search. The new Facebook Graph Search will surface People, Photos, Places and Interests. It won't search and display actual profile or fan page posts. Everything will be governed by your privacy settings, i.e. a non-friend cannot search and see content you've only shared with your friends. So what does "Social Graph"  really mean?   Our understanding  is that you'll be able to find new connections depending on the relationships between people and the things / pages / groups they like. Graph Search will appear as a bigger search bar at the top of each page. When you search for something, that search not only determines the set of results you get, but also serves as a title for the page. You can edit the title – and in doing so create your own custom view of the content you and your friends have shared on Facebook. But what is the difference between Google / Web Search and Graph Search? Graph search and web search / google search are very different. Web search is designed to take a set of keywords (for example: “social media”) and provide the best possible results that match those keywords. With graph search you combine phrases (for example: "my friends in Auckland  who like Net Branding") to get that set of people, places, photos or other content that's been shared on Facebook. We believe they have very different uses. As an aside, the recent / frequent postings by your friends regarding your settings please view what Facebook has had to day..." Copyright Memo Spreading on Facebook There is a rumour circulating that Facebook is making a change related to ownership of users' information or the content they post to the site. This is false. Anyone who uses Facebook owns and controls the content and information they post, as stated in our terms. They control how that content and information is shared. That is our policy, and it always has been." I do recommend that you  review ALL your Facebook privacy settings. In the next months we may see Facebook users reviewing and editing their interests / pages they've liked in the past.  Remembering that these connections will be searchable with the new Graph Search feature.   For those other Facebook users who have many friends.  We might find those users trimming back on who they connect with on Social Networks.

News: Facebook is holding a press conference on January 15 (Tuesday), 2013 at its California headquarters, where the company is speculated to announce its much-rumoured and much-awaited smartphone. Any other thoughts? ### Is content enough to be found? Is online content enough? Creating new content and posting it on your web site is definitely not enough. Your potential visitors should be aware of its existence. Connect to the social media channels where your presence is needed. If you create new content - make sure to spread the word about it across all microblogging sites and social networks where your audience may be hanging out. For more information please contact the team at Net Branding - Auckland ### As 2012 draws to a close... lets consider some Social Media Statistics shared by the team at Net Branding (Auckland, NZ) Did you know? 78% of customers trust social media recommendations. Only 14% trust advertisements. Only 18% of traditional TV campaigns generate a positive return on investment. An average social media user becomes a fan of 2 pages every month. An average Facebook user spends about 55 minutes a day on the site. Every second a new member joins LinkedIn. For more interesting social media statistics please view the Net Branding Social Media Today blog and our recent  social media published article. ### Skype - perhaps a social network yet to be considered? Let's consider Microsoft's Skype should be counted as a social network. It fulfills many of the same functions that Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest etc. You can set a status 'mood' message, you can text message, use it as a group chat system, you can share files, photos, your computer screen. Plus, you can talk with people plus video calls, and set up videoconferences with several people. There's a huge and active user base, more than 30 million people use it at any one time, and there's close to 500 million user accounts. Skype has a payment system, and has a billing relationship with tens of millions of people who regularly top up their accounts to make overseas calls. Used by many businesses as a communication tool. It is a good place to engage in business because Skype is a distraction-free environment, it's well suited for work. No advertising, easy to use, privacy covered, and mostly free. Perhaps Skype has the potential to be the dark horse in the social network platform battles. What are your thoughts? ### What can social media do for business? Thinking ahead to 2013.

It is best to be prepared for the Facebook guideline changes. Facebook are clamping down on too much text in your Promoted Post and Page Post Ad Images. Why you may ask? This change is to prevent your Facebook News Feeds being filled with posts that look more like banner advertising than engaging and useful information, which is what they were intended for. We've come to accept Promoted Posts and Page Posst Ads as the norm for presenting your Business on Facebook. A way to grab attention and engagement of current and potential page fans but now, given the rise in the use of newsfeed ads ( i.e. where users pay to broadcast their ads with Promoted Posts or place Page Post Ads through Power Editor) Facebook are now applying the same 20% rule to these images too. Since the introduction of the Facebook Timeline format early in the year, there have been restrictions covered in a previous post but this change can impact on your current imagery used on this Social Networking Site.

Internet Marketing is a must in today’s online business world. Internet Marketing is website promotion that is performed with the intent of increase online exposure and website traffic. To discuss further feel free to give the Net Branding team a call. ### Social Media News | Can Social Media introduce trust back into marketing? Can Social Media introduce trust back into marketing? By Cathy Mellett - Net Branding (Auckland, New Zealand) Verve Magazine - December 2012 According to Nielsen, only 40% of consumers trust marketing content, but 90% trust content from their social networks.  Yet many companies are utilising the same content when promoting their business in a social platform leaving decision makers perplexed as to why they are not seeing a return on their investment.Consider this.  Should we view social media as “just” another marketing channel or should you rather be considering social media as an influencer of all the channels.   Social media provides you  with a unique opportunity of capturing  what is in fact of interest to your audience,  through the use of blog feedback, comments  and posts on social networks.   You are then able to use this information to shape new content and articles of interest for your website.Your next consideration should be socialising in social network such as Facebook.  Previously, and prior to the digital era, people took pride in our one-on-one conversations.  In today’s speak however, social media is literally the local cafe where you can get to know your clients and find out what really matters to them.   You should therefore monitor the content that you are placing in these forums and respond to comments made or otherwise activate the conversation.  Always remember this is the forum where clients or potential clients can find out more about our brand and more importantly learn to trust your business.Mark Zuckerberg  has been quoted as follows: “ Advertising works most effectively when it's in line with what people are already trying to do. And people are trying to communicate in a certain way on Facebook - they share information with their friends, they learn about what their friends are doing - so there's really a whole new opportunity for a new type of advertising model within that. “These words are prophetic and illustrate the power dynamic that social media can bring to your business in a marketing and other context.The Net Branding team have assisted local and international businesses to use these powerful new online and marketing platforms to gain visibility, internet traffic, leads, customers and engaged fans.  Our social media solutions are affordable yet offer pragmatic and practical strategies allowing you to succeed in this online space.  For more information contact Cathy Mellett on mobile 0211229116. ### Social Media Client Recommendation | Cathy Mellett from Net Branding.

Do the numbers stack up? Social media and your business.  Do the numbers stack up? Source : Verve Magazine - Author: Cathy Mellett (Net Branding for Social Media) The explosion of social media networks across the internet has truly been astounding. Today, hundreds of millions of people use popular social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to talk, post and communicate with their friends and family. These social media sites are now being used by both small and large businesses to reach new customers and establish their brands. These networks are changing the way the world does business.  Whether you agree or disagree with this statement let us take a look at some emerging stats. People spend more time on Facebook than on YouTube, Wikipedia, Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Yahoo combined. There is 48 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute.  One of the key reasons why video has become an important medium of communication and engagement. The average ages of social media users holds no surprises. More than half are between 25 and 44 years old with the fastest growing segment being the 45-54 year olds. 23% of Facebook users check their Facebook account 5 or more times daily. Of those brands that Facebook users connect with, they are 56% more likely to recommend that brand after becoming a fan. Social Media has an impact on purchase behaviour. 34% of marketers have generated leads using Twitter. 95% of posting to Facebook walls by fans are not answered by the companies. What can we deduct from the above? The various social media networks  are developing and having an impact on where and how we should be spending our marketing efforts however if we do embrace this medium then we should put appropriate checks in place to ensure we capture leads and feedback in a timely manner. The Net Branding team have assisted local and international businesses to use these powerful new online and marketing platforms to gain visibility, internet traffic, leads, customers and engaged fans.  Our social media solutions are affordable yet offer pragmatic and practical strategies allowing you to succeed in this online space.  For more information contact Cathy on mobile 0211229116.

Functionality roll out from Facebook differs per user. If You’re Kind of a Big Deal on Facebook, You Can Now Pay to Promote Your Posts Too Source: webpronews In early October, Facebook expanded their promoted posts service to allow individual users to pay a small fee to promote one of their statuses, photos, events, etc. With every one of those updates a U.S. user posts, a “promote” option now appears next to the “like” and “comment” button. Tempting, of course, if you have something really important or witty that you want a bunch of people to see. Promoted Posts for People work similarly to Facebook’s Promoted Posts for Pages, which debuted during the summer. Pay a few bucks, and Facebook pushes the status up to the top of your friends’ news feeds. Facebook markets Promoted Posts as a way to make sure the really important stuff is seen by everyone important. The price to promote a personal post is around $7 for most users, and the promoted post will feature a “sponsored” tag when it appears in a friend’s news feed. One of the caveats that Facebook announced when they unveiled Promoted Posts for People was a friend-limit. Only users with less than 5,000 could play to promote their posts. Now, that changes. Facebook has now expanded the Promoted Post for People initiative to include Facebook’s more popular power users. “We are continuing to test promoted posts in the U.S.,” Facebook told VentureBeat. “As part of this, we are opened up the test to enable people with 5,000 or more friends and subscribers to use the product. We are also continuing to experiment with different pricing models. The price of promoted posts is based on a number of factors, including the reach and the number of people you are promoting to.” Of course, the price would necessarily jump a little bit. For instance, VentureBeats’s Jennifer Van Grove has just shy of 500,000 Facebook subscribers and was given a price of $49 to promote her post. But for a user with hundreds or thousands or even millions of friends/subscribers, it might be worth it to promote something really, really big. ### Social media today news | Facebook launches job hunting app Facebook has launched a job hunting app in hopes that its network of more than 1 billion users will help people find their next career opportunity. Unlike LinkedIn, Facebook has a very hazy boundary between social and professional. That said, Facebook isn’t actually hosting the job listings. At launch, the app functions more as an aggregated search tool than anything else. Users can find jobs through the app, but once they try to learn more about a job, it points them to another app. The Work4Labs listings, for example, often links back to the hiring company’s Facebook page. If someone wanted to apply for the Head of Lighting position at Cirque Du Soleil, the new Social Jobs app would link to the Cirque Du Soleil hiring page on Facebook. The user would have to access the separate Work4Labs app if they wanted to see if anyone in their network could refer them. Should they want to apply, they would get pointed all the way back to Cirque Du Soleil’s official website. It’s far from a seamless process, and there are several other glitches (Monster jobs showing up in the Work4Labs page, links going to a company’s Facebook Timeline, etc.). There is a lot of potential for Facebook to connect users to jobs — and create another source of revenue in the process. But in its current state, Facebook’s Social Jobs app is more of an extra side tool than an actual player in the job-hunting space.

So much so in fact, it’s standard to see a “Like us on Facebook” sign wherever you go. With all this competition for your customers’ attention, how can your business set up a Facebook presence, attract fans, and engage with them in a meaningful way? Here are 5 simple tips to help you get started. Step 1: Choose Your Goal Why are you setting up a Facebook page at all?  Why should anyone want to “Like” your page and visit it often? What will your “call to action” be? The answers to these questions help shape your goal and dictate how you engage with fans. Provide something on Facebook that’s not available on your website - for example white papers, giveaways, and special promotions. Step 2: Choose a Great Cover Photo Think of your Facebook page like your storefront. When potential customers pass by do they want to go into your “store” and look around, or do they just walk by? Your Facebook page should make people want to engage with your company and each other. The key is great imagery. Don’t just use your logo; use something that represents your company vision and mission or even a great picture of your products. Your audience should readily understand they are “Liking” the right company. Step 3: Use Your Timeline What will people see when they visit your page? If it’s brand new, they might not see anything. That’s like going into a store and seeing empty shelves. Instead, post at least 20 relevant events in the history of your brand. Not only will you have a nice “storefront” but there are items on your “shelves.” Step 4: Create a Content Calendar When people come to your page, they want to see relevant posts. They’ll only come back if they can expect you to offer fresh content such as white papers, customer stories, videos, promotions, contests, or funny photos. Based on your goals (from Step 1) create a calendar of what you’re going to publish and when, ideally several times a day but at least every few days. Keep in mind, just like a store with empty shelves, a page with outdated content doesn’t get repeat visits. Step 5: Advertise Your Page We don’t mean that you must buy ads, but you do need to let your community know about your Facebook page and what they can expect to get if they “Like” your company. Embed the “Like” button on your website, on your blog, and as part of your email signature – the more places the better. Your call to action should be different depending on the audience it’s serving. Step 6: Engage, Engage, Engage Now that you’ve gotten people to start “Liking” your page it’s time to engage with them. When they write on your wall, write back. When they leave comments, reply. You might set up contests, create polls, and if you can, create a daily tip or question. Engagement doesn’t have to be a multi-million dollar contest – but something that gets people talking with you and with each other. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day.  You need to be persistent and dedicate time to engaging with your fans with content that matters to them. While it might seem that increasing your number of fans is the goal, its engagement that counts most.  Having 150,000 unengaged fans is far worse than having 500 fans who love your content and share it with their networks.

So you don’t have the time, inclination, or the ability to be a social media star. The problem is that most Small Business owners and managers are short of time. This very aspect was highlighted in a presentation Cathy Mellett - Director of Auckland Social Media company Net Branding did to a group of Small Business Owners this morning on the North Shore. Finding the right person to assist you with your social media marketing, how to gain maximum results with less effort, value of the various social media platforms and the value of quality LIKES were amongst the many topics discussed during the early morning session. Most don't have the time to become a master of social media, write AdWords campaigns, and build a website. The best way forward for them is to outsource. There is plenty of 'How To' advice online and lots of books available through public libraries, says interactive and digital media director at Starcom Alex Radford. Unless, however, you're really passionate about social media then it's best left to the experts. Like all aspects of business it makes sense to have an expert on the job. That could be a member of staff, or an agency. Rebecca McLeod, who owns Made4Baby.co.nz, realised earlier this year that she needed to outsource her day-to-day social media presence. "I was trying to do it myself, but I just wasn't connecting (with people)," says McLeod, whose business sells babycare products. McLeod tracked down a consultant who had experience with social media strategies for a baby-related business. The consultant understands the Made4Baby customer base because she is a mother, says McLeod. She posts on Made4Baby's Facebook page daily and interacts with mothers who engage with her. If a query arises that she can't answer for the company, she contacts McLeod. The consultant has doubled the number of "likes" on the Made4Baby Facebook page in the four months she has managed it, says McLeod. The posts are being seen by many more potential customers. One posting had 11,000 people talking about it. Social media isn't about just pushing out marketing messages. Some of the most successful posts on Made4Baby's Facebook page have been motivational sayings that make mums at home feel good about themselves, and cute baby photographs, which are shared. Even if the posting isn't about Made4Baby's products, it gets the company's name in front of a lot of potential customers, says McLeod. Since McLeod outsourced her social media presence, online orders doubled - partly, she says, due to the business's Facebook activity. Medium-size businesses sometimes fail to understand the importance of social media and therefore they don't commit sufficient expenditure, says Craig Garner. It makes sense for the organisations to use specialist agencies for their social media marketing, he believes. "If you engage someone from outside you ensure that they are focussed and they have the experience. They know the platforms, they know the tricks and they focus on ensuring it works." Don't, however, hand over the whole lot to an agency, he adds. Keep the content creation in-house. A third party agency may not be able to reflect your brand's personality adequately online. Social media agencies abound. There are, however, cowboys in the marketplace that should be avoided - especially if they're based overseas. They may bamboozle the business owner with dubious facts and figures, or claim that they'll get you a gazillion followers. Business owners need to be very clear about what they expect from a campaign. They should be looking carefully at the Insights tab on their Facebook page and the metrics pages on other social media sites to ensure their agency is doing a good job. Google Analytics can help them analyse traffic from social media sites to a business website. These metrics tell a business just how successful their campaigns are. Beware, however. It's not all about likes and followers. The "reach" of a Facebook post is far more important than the simple number of likes. Reach measures the number of people who received impressions of a post. Celia Hay, owner of the New Zealand School of Food and Wine, was one business owner who didn't feel that she got value for money from her social media campaign through a marketing agency called Traff1k. Hay became concerned when she discovered two months into the campaign that more than a third of the "likes" on her Facebook page were from Turkey, and the most common demographic was 13- to 17-year-old girls. She was concerned the "likes" were being bought or created by bots that aren't real people. What's more, a large number of the Twitter followers from the campaign came from Brazil. She is locked in a battle with the agency that says the campaign was a success and that the Turkish likes were a blip. ### Net Branding - Social Media Today | NZ Business Day Article SMEs must up the Social Media Ante SMEs must up the social media ante KERRI JACKSON Last updated 14:40 26/10/2012 Source: Business Day - NZ Herald Small businesses need to take a more sophisticated approach to social media - without being scared off it completely- if they are to make the most of the opportunities it offers. In the almost 10 years since the launch of sites such as LinkedIn and Facebook, the social media landscape has dramatically, and small to medium enterprises (SMEs) must keep evolving their approach to it to be effective. Director of Net Branding, a social media and digital content business, Cathy Mellet says the biggest trap is putting all your online eggs into the social media basket because it seems cheaper and easier than building and maintaining a website. "You don't have the same control over content on your Facebook page or Twitter that you have on a website. People don't always understand that initially." Social media is an effective tool for allowing businesses to build and audience, but it's best done in conjunction with other tools such as a website, Mellet says. "If a business came to me and said they were thinking of closing down but were planning to spend their last few dollars on social media as a last ditch effort to keep going, I'd suggest they spend it on something else. "Social media is a hugely effective tool and I think all businesses should have a social media presence but it is hard work and not a one-night wonder." Mellet says the other big mistake SMEs fall into with social media content is committing to it passionately for about two weeks before the novelty wears off. "It's a journey not a destination, and that might be a terrible cliche; but it's true. Your content must always be up-to-date and relevant." She adds that one of the most overlooked aspects of social media is blogging which allows SMEs to have added control over content as well as direct, immediate communication with their audience. Xero CEO Rod Drury says the one of the biggest changes social media has made to business is it has inverted the customer care queue. "A company's response to customers used to be done in private, now it's public. If you use that well it can give you a great competitive advantage." He adds that is often easier for SMEs to manage than larger businesses where social media feedback can occasionally devolve into a "flame" session - in other words where it triggers a deluge of consumer complaints. But talk of transparency and a lack of control over social media comes back to what Mellet says is still the biggest hurdle in getting SMEs to embrace social media - fear. "The key is understanding what you want to achieve from it." While larger corporates may be able to hire a third party contractor to provide their social media content that expense is often not realistic for small businesses. SMEs are often better off spending some of that money on social media training so they can provide content themselves. "It's really about self-confidence and empowering people to take care of their own social media. Once they start they realise it's not difficult or scary." For Daniel Friedlander, project manager and property portfolio director of Samson Corporation which owns Auckland's iconic Ironbank and Geyser buildings, social media has been something of a recent revelation. His company, which is close to 50 years old, began using social media about six months ago. Initially resistant to the idea, he has found "it really works". He says his initial reluctant was because he didn't really understand social media. "It is very confusing if you haven't grown up with it, but really it's just another, different form of communicating your product - in a very instant way." He adds though that he thinks social media has evolved and "grown up" as a channel useful to business and he can see it is the way of the future. "It's an on-going conversation with customers, and that is interesting to me." Drury says all businesses including SMEs must now have some element of social media strategy in their business plan. "It doesn't have to be a complete communications plan but it needs to be there somewhere. It is a really useful way to build and audience. And there are some interesting things happening. "I am at a conference at the moment and before it has started people have connected on social media and arranged meetings and working before they get here so they're not coming in cold. It's a clear example of how social media is changing the way we do things." - © Fairfax NZ News Save ### Social Media Today | Adequate password protection A time to reflect on your social media accounts and ensure that you have adequately password protection on these. The 25 Most Popular Passwords of 2012 Source By Casey Chan, Though I had hoped that we, as people, would have improved our passwords by now, it turns out that we, as people, are still unimaginative and so very lazy. Just take a look at the most popular (read: the worst) passwords of 2012. They're terribly predictable. The rankings were created by SplashData who gathered the data from the millions of stolen passwords posted online by hackers in 2012 and ranked them in order of popularity. It's all similar to year's past but we've got some new additions at the end of the list in Jesus and password1. Yay for religion and online services demanding you add a number to your password! I just want to see the day where password is unseated. Here's the full list: 1. password (Unchanged) 2, 123456 (Unchanged) 3. 12345678 (Unchanged) 4. abc123 (Up 1) 5. qwerty (Down 1) 6. monkey (Unchanged) 7. letmein (Up 1) 8. dragon (Up 2) 9. 111111 (Up 3) 10. baseball (Up 1) 11. iloveyou (Up 2) 12. trustno1 (Down 3) 13. 1234567 (Down 6) 14. sunshine (Up 1) 15. master (Down 1) 16. 123123 (Up 4) 17. welcome (New) 18. shadow (Up 1) 19. ashley (Down 3) 20. football (Up 5) 21. jesus (New) 22. michael (Up 2) 23. ninja (New) 24. mustang (New) 25. password1 (New) ### We used to vs now we can.... what are the benefits?

And, Facebook Marketing Success, however you define it, can be somewhat elusive. Business owners have difficulty seeing the value of Facebook as it relates to customer flow and sales. Oftentimes, there is a misconception that simply stamping your Facebook Wall with a post will cause clients to flock your storefront. So, how does Facebook Marketing work, you ask? Good question. It all starts with the first conversation. Think for a moment: why do you buy from one brand and not another? At the heart of your answer is: “Talk to me as a person and make the conversation interesting.” That’s where you start. On Facebook you can talk to people or you can engage with people. Engaging with people means speaking their lingo and interests based on their demographic and physiographic. Use words and images that make your fans or customers feel as though each one is the only one you’re talking with. Divide and Conquer Now, with Facebook’s new post targeting options, you can better zero in on segments of your Facebook fans, sending each of these groups of fans more tailored content. If you tweak a Facebook post one way for men and and another way for women, changing a few details for each, response can increase when compared to sending one less personal message to all your fans. Same for older and younger Facebook users, different geographies, etc. Below you’ll find 4 very similar Facebook wall posts when it comes to message – targeted at 4 different demographics, including young men, older men, young women and older women. 1. YOUNG MEN POST EXAMPLE   Text “Social Media Success: How do you become successful? You should be glowing when you talk about your product on Facebook. Others will sense your love for delivering a great product or service. Why wouldn’t they buy? You LIKE this picture?” Outcome This post captured the attention of young male small business owners between the ages of 18-35. These entrepreneurs tend to use more hip words like “glow” and “love”. Truth be told, younger men step on the brakes when an attractive image appears in their newsfeed. 2. OLDER MEN POST EXAMPLE   Text “Social Media Success: How do you become successful? By being patient and thinking long term. How long did it take before you considered yourself an expert in your field? Can I get a LIKE?” Outcome With a nostalgic baseball image, this post captured the attention of older male small business owners between the ages of 35-55. WHY you ask? This target audience knows first hand that tangible success does not happen over night and most strive to be the best in their field. 3. YOUNG WOMEN POST EXAMPLE   Text “Social Media Success: How do you become successful? Believing you can be more. LIKE?” Outcome As a rule, most female small business owners between the ages of 18-35 favor light-hearted, inspirational conversations. And, they’re always the first to initiate encouragement, which proved why over 16 people “shared” the post to their own walls. 4. OLDER WOMEN POST EXAMPLE   Text “Social Media Success: How do you become successful? Keeping it Simple. LIKE?” Outcome Female small business owners between the ages of 35-55 like to keep life simple and organized – no nonsense. They oftentimes have an overly committed lifestyle complete with a fulltime career, spouse, children, and extended family. They don’t have time for clutter. They can relate to the woman in the picture. —- Successful Facebook marketing is no longer in the leprechaun and unicorn category. It exists when you start the conversation with targeted words so your audience responds with likes, comments, even shares and possibly wanting to take the conversation off Facebook for a bottom-line purchase. Here’s the kicker: you can easily optimize your brand-customer relationship across your targeted demographic by reviewing your Facebook Insights. Are you ready to move from high-fives to bottom-line business?   Written by: Donna Newman & Jim Lupkin, co-founders in SummaSocial.com, a social platform for the Small Business Community. ### Social Media Promotions and Sweepstakes Many local businesses are using social media promotions and sweepstakes to promote their online brand. A common error being made is running any sort of promotion, competition or sweepstakes on your Facebook page using Facebook’s features and functionality. Examples of this are, please ‘like this update’ or ‘share this photo’ or ‘upload your photo to our page’ or ‘add a comment’ or ‘tell me why you should win this product or service’. In the absence of giving serious consideration to the individual social media site regulations, your promotion could result in your business violating the site's promotions rules. Whilst marketing in this forum is one of the simplest ways to generate leads and create a "discussion" about your product or brand, the ultimate consequence of flaunting the rules could be the removal of your account from the social media platform. You should consider the following aspects: Utilise an application (App) when running a Facebook Promotion. Any contest or sweepstakes must provide promotion participants with terms and conditions of entry. Any promotion should include a disclaimer within your terms and conditions that releases Facebook from any responsibility. The promotion should disclose who the entrant of the sweepstake or competition will be giving their personal information to. A business should refrain from using any Facebook features or functionality as part of the promotion or participation other than liking your page, checking in or connecting to your application.

The company announced in a blog post that it has just started adjusting the ranking of videos in YouTube search to “reward engaging videos that keep viewers watching.” In other words, the more of the video that viewers are actually watching, the more likely it is to rank higher in search results compared to its competitors. “This is a continuation of ongoing efforts to focus our video discovery features on watch time, and follows changes we made to Suggested Videos in March, and recent improvements to YouTube Analytics,” YouTube says. We reported on the Analytics changes here. In the “Views” report, YouTube will now show you more time watched data. “Estimated minutes watched” can be seen from this report now, and users can choose other data options from the “Compare metric” drop-down. “The experimental results of this change have proven positive — less clicking, more watching,” says YouTube of the rankings adjustment. “We expect the amount of time viewers spend watching videos from search and across the site to increase. As with previous optimizations to our discovery features, this should benefit your channel if your videos drive more viewing time across YouTube.” It does stand to reason that if the videos that are getting more viewing time from users are appearing near the top of search results more frequently, that more people will spend more time watching YouTube videos. Sounds like a win for advertisers. It makes you wonder how much weight Google gives to the time spent on site metric in its web search results. ### Tip to Grab attention on social media networks You will get more response from your Facebook posts if you attach an image or video to them. Internet users have a short attention span, so if you want to grab their attention, an image is the best way to do it quickly. After a while, you will be able to determine what types of images get the most interaction and you can adjust your posts accordingly. ### Promote your post... What benefits for you? Have you considered using the promote your post feature in Facebook. Promoting your post increases the likelihood that people will: 1. See your message in their news feed 2. Become aware of your business 3.

Source: www.marketingsherpa.com Baggott stated that the blog should be the hub of content for email, social media and search strategies. The idea is any content on the blog is always available -- it’s indexed, searchable and can be reused. This contrasts with any content that is only found in email. After just one use, it’s gone. It is not searchable content, so it’s not improving SEO efforts and can’t be shared across social media platforms. Content found on the blog can be dynamically pulled into email, as well as be o shared through social media. Baggott explained, "(Marketers) can build dynamic content emails now because they have this vast library of content that sits on the blog, and is already working for them on search. Now they can make it work for them on email, Facebook and Twitter." ### Over 1 billion active Facebook users this morning News from Mark Zuckerberg this morning.

This article was forwarded to me by a client.  However in light of having had a similar discussion with another business yesterday, I thought it was worthy of a share.  The concept of ownership and control is often overlooked within this Social Media space. Who owns your social networks? Your website - You do to a limited extent.  The content but often not the infrastructure it is built on. Facebook-no ownership in my opinion (why you may ask - well do you have any control over infrastructure changes the Facebook team may make? Yes Facebook is great for clients or fan engagement but the Facebook team  have rights to change the rules, game plan and functionality ( as per the article or reflect on the move to the timeline layout). Yet as a business it makes commercial sense for many companies to be in the social engagement arena. The same statement is true for Twitter or so many of the other social mediums. Regarding coupons (as per the article below) and the payment for such services.  Is it a bad thing? Maybe not because we land up having to pay for third party apps to provide the exact same features for us in any case. Social media is an area of constant change and much of this change is beyond our immediate control but one thing can be guarantee - this social space will look very different in a few years. Cathy Mellett, Director of Net Branding - Taking the fear out of Social Media. M: 0211229116 SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Facebook Inc said it will start charging businesses to run Offers on its social network, turning a previously free service into a potential revenue generator at a time when Wall Street is demanding new sources of growth and profit from the company. Facebook launched Facebook Offers earlier this year, letting retailers and other local merchants send deals to their Facebook fans. Users claim the offers from their News Feeds and redeem the vouchers at stores to get discounts. The service has been free, but in coming weeks Facebook will require merchants to pay at least $5 on related ads to promote each Facebook Offer to a targeted audience of fans and friends of fans. The cost will vary based on the size of a company's Facebook pages. Since Facebook went public in May, the company has been under pressure from Wall Street to show how it can turn its giant social network into a money machine. Facebook shares have lost about 40 percent of their value since the IPO. The commerce potential of Facebook, known as f-commerce, has yet to materialize, partly because retailers have been able to feast on a host of free tools on the social network to attract customers. Tying Facebook Offers to a paid ad service suggests the company is working to change this. "We think this aligns incentives nicely," said Gokul Rajaram, director of product management for Facebook's advertising and Pages businesses. "The best results on Facebook Offers will come from organic distribution plus paid distribution." In the past, some Facebook Offers have not been relevant to all users, partly because some people saw deals in their News Feeds from merchants located far away from where they live, Rajaram added. "The requirement to pay for related ads will focus merchants on who and where they want the offer to reach," he said. Facebook is also expanding Offers to online-only businesses, he added. Before, the service was available only to merchants with physical locations. Facebook is also adding barcodes for offers, so customers can redeem offers more easily. The barcodes work globally, Rajaram noted. The executive declined to disclose how many Facebook Offers have been run so far, how many merchants have taken part, or how many deals have been claimed and redeemed by consumers. However, he said Facebook is "very happy" with the success of its Offers business. "That's why we're expanding and investing more in it," Rajaram said. ### Putting social in perspective 3 REASONS WHY FACEBOOK IS NOT JUST ABOUT GIVEAWAY CONTESTS Source: http://www.linkedin.com/andrine 12 September 2012 I have often met clients who just wanted to obtain “LIKES” on their facebook fan page and just wanted to do random contests and have a bespoke giveaway as their social media plan. In fact, most brands do just that, investing to obtain 'FANS' by doing random contests in an effort to engage a new audience. I would say this is a very short-term plan and the uncertainty in the way social media sites have been performing is a reason for such a short-term plan. But is a bespoke giveaway or campaign good enough to keep fans engaged with your brand? Here are three reasons why such a strategy makes little sense from an ROI perspective and on a long-term basis. 1. GIVEAWAY CAMPAIGNS HAVE A SHELF LIFE However big your giveaway is, it will always lose impetus. Ask yourself, how many giveaway campaigns do you recall? Getting users to 'LIKE' something or enter their email IDs for a sweepstake or a giveaway was until now considered to be a best practice. The fact is that these email IDs that we get or the 'LIKES' we generate are rarely used to make any business sense. 2. THEY COME JUST FOR THE ‘GIVEAWAY’ Having done campaigns of similar aspects for clients one thing I have seen is that there will be a lot of people lined up when there is a giveaway, which is of no surprise but these users are rarely the right TG for the brand. There has been instances where users just 'LIKE' the page to participate and subsequently UNLIKE the page after the contest. 3. YOU DON’T OWN THE DATA Having even a million fans really doesn’t mean anything, as you neither have any data about them nor a way to contact with them. On Facebook, Edgerank prevents you from reaching around 84 percent on your newsfeed organically. In short, these entities are not entirely under your control nor do you own any content. SO WHAT IS THE BEST STRATEGY? Having said all that, what is the best strategy for your brand social media presence? Brands need to think beyond social media as just another platform and build their core strategy, as they would do for any other media. Facebook itself is pushing marketers to invest more in terms of resources and efforts, the recent changes such as timeline and brand pages are all pushing in that direction. To put it in simple terms there needs to be a revision on your social media KPIs and I would suggest you start with: Building assets and not one time contests: rather than doing a random sweepstake or “RT” contests, build a campaign/property which people will come back for. The right people of course! Invest in social content: You spend a lot of money in creating visual/print/TVC ads, likewise invest time and resources in building exclusive social content Integrate social media to other mediums: While building campaigns integrate social media to the fullest. Your turn... have I missed anything? Let me know in the comments! ### Watch out, Google - Facebook's social search is coming Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says the social network is already handling a billion search queries per day, and that it is interested in launching a social search engine powered by the activity of its users — something that could turn out to be Google’s worst nightmare. Source: gigaom During an interview at the Disrupt conference on Tuesday — the first since Facebook’s underwhelming IPO and subsequent stock slide — co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg talked a lot about the social network’s strategy in a number of areas, including a defence of the company’s approach to mobile and an explanation of why the company moved away from HTML5 for its apps. But while those comments were interesting, I thought the most revealing part of the interview came when Zuckerberg talked about search. Although he didn’t go into a lot of detail, it was clearly intended as a shot across Google’s bow: the underlying message was that Facebook is going to do social search, and soon — and it already has most of the ingredients necessary to mount a significant challenge to the search giant. In response to a question from TechCrunch founder Mike Arrington about whether the company plans to do anything in the search market, Zuckerberg said that the social network already handles about one billion search queries every day, “and we’re basically not even trying.” For comparison purposes, that’s about 20 times as many as Microsoft’s Bing search engine gets — and about a third of the 3 billion queries that Google handles every day. But it’s not just about volume: the critical factor is that Facebook’s searches are all about finding socially relevant information, from people to brands and related topics. As he put it: “Search engines are really evolving towards giving you a set of answers… like, I have a specific question, answer this question for me. And when you think about it from that perspective, Facebook is pretty uniquely positioned to answer a lot of the questions that people have. That’s one obvious thing that would be interesting for us to do in the future.” To give just one example, the Facebook CEO said a question might be something like: “What sushi restaurants have my friends gone to in New York, and liked?” This is the kind of answer that Google simply isn’t very good at providing — or at least, not yet. It can show you sushi restaurants within a few miles of your location, and it can show you ratings from Yelp and other services to help you choose, including reviews from its recently purchased review providers Zagat and Frommer’s, which are starting to show up in the “one box” results for restaurants. But it can’t really show you which ones your friends like, unless they all happen to be on Google+. Google+ is no match for Facebook on social data Coming up with that kind of socially-relevant data was the whole purpose behind the launch of Google+. It wasn’t that Google wanted to give people a place to share cat photos — it was a way of getting lots of people to create profiles and add friends and interests, and thereby generate a ton of data that would make it easier for the search giant to target advertising, and also help add social elements to its search results. The biggest problem with the “Search Plus Your World” feature is that it primarily shows you content from Google’s network, and whatever it can scrape together from the two networks that make up the bulk of people’s online social lives: Facebook and Twitter. Like Facebook, Google knows that search is moving from keywords and links to providing answers for users to questions such as “Where should I eat?” and “Who can repair my car the best?” That’s why the company has been spending so much time and effort adding expert information from places like Wikipedia and from its own sources like Zagat. But that isn’t social data, and while there has been plenty of debate about the ultimate value of social recommendations, there’s no question that Facebook has a far better grasp of that than Google. And unless Facebook and Twitter choose to change their blockade of the search engine, it is likely to stay that way. ### Social Media - what should you consider before you leap? ARTICLE PDF FOR PRINT Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Linkedin are all examples of the spreading phenomenon collectively referred to as social media. But the question remains, what is social media? In simple terms, social media is a form of online media that relies on conversation. This is in contradistinction to traditional media which delivers actual content, for example an advertisement on the back of a bus or a newsletter drop. “The primary difference” says Cathy Mellett, founder of social media company Net Branding, “is that traditional media does not allow potential customers, viewers or readers to participate in the creation or development of the content, whereas social media stimulates and allows this.” There are a few basic items to consider prior to embarking on a journey in this online space. Do a trademark search even before deciding on a business name, website / blog name or social media profile. You do not want to establish a great website or online brand only to have an existing registered trademark owner invoke their legal rights. Claim your URL. This is the basis of strategically laying a solid foundation for your online brand. If you are thinking about a new and exciting business, secure your online ”real-estate” before announcing your idea to the world. So many businesses have not secured their domain name and sadly, once they have spent money on their logo, stationery and other business necessities, they identify that their chosen domain name is unavailable. Keywords . Identify your business concept and engage an expert to source some primary online keywords within your business product or service space. If you are deciding on a name for your business, attempt to include these words into your business name alternatively, if your business is already established, consider including keywords within your slogan or catch phrase. Secure your Trademark. A trademark potentially covers your business name, slogan and other items used to identify you in the marketplace. You have laid the foundation for your entry into this online realm. This can however, also be fraught with difficulty. Take the recent example of Charlotte Dawson and the negative publicity that has ensued surrounding the misuse and abuse of social media. Ms Dawson has publically revealed how her Twitter trolls sent her into a spiral of depression, illustrating that one’s actions can have far reaching consequences within this medium. Cathy believes that those using social media should acknowledge that whilst they are dealing in a very “inhuman” computer environment (hidden behind their computer screens), real people are on the receiving end of the words they place online. If you find yourself in an unhealthy online situation, seek help immediately. This may be obtaining the assistance of a friend, lawyer, trademark specialist, social media expert or any person in whom you can confide. Notwithstanding this, social media can when managed successfully leverage new channels for either you or your business. It can develop brand loyalty and improve service for customers, clients and group members. Conversely, social media can prove to be a source of extreme embarrassment and dissatisfaction. So how can you engage social media to best advantage? Appropriateness. Remember that certain subject matter has the potential to offend people or certain groups of people. Carefully consider your words, always remembering to be polite and reflecting on how those words could be received. Because of the nature of social media and the way in which people within social networking communities interact and behave online, the relationships that people share online are bound to be different than physical face-to-face interactions. Judgement. Carefully consider when and how to engage with your audience. Each situation is different but never hesitate to divert communication to another channel or medium if required. Respect and manners. We need to acknowledge that although social media is still in its infancy, one should not forget that good old-fashioned manners are still important: be polite, show respect, and say thank you. Be responsible . Employ this strategy not only in your use of technology but in the acknowledgement that any content you post online could potentially tarnish your company's image.

If done correctly, it can be a highly cost effective way to market your company in the digital age. So what are some basic steps if we consider the social networking tool - Facebook. However many of these basic steps would apply to the other social media platforms as well. MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR COVER PHOTO Your Facebook cover photo is prime real estate.

Remember, you have two seconds to grab the attention your looking for. DO NOT FORGET THE DETAIL ON THE ‘ABOUT’ PAGE One of the first things a new Facebook visitor will do on your Facebook page is have a look at your profile. Make sure you take full advantage of this area. Have you completed this section, told your story, included your mission, address, website and any calls to action. GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR POSTS ON FACEBOOK AND CONNECT WITH YOUR FANS Engage with your fans, highlight your best posts, promote posts to reach the masses, utilise links to your website, stay connected. Remember the phrase "invite, engage, convert". Invite people to connect with your social profiles, engage with them, and convert them to become promoters of your brand or service.

Looking for someone to manage my business’s social media, what skill set would I need. An interesting article published by entrepreneur.com Social media marketing requires a lot of work, a certain amount of technical savvy, excellent writing skills, empathy for customers, and an awareness the company's strategy. Here are the traits look for when hiring a social media manager: 1. Naturally Curious. Being naturally curious about what everyone’s working on in your company and the impact on customers, is important. A good social media manager should tap into different areas of the business and gather appropriate information that is engaging. 2. Writes conversationally. Your messages shouldn't sound like advertising. It's important to hire someone who can write in a conversational voice, which isn't always an easy task. Well-crafted conversational content for social social media opens up a dialogue between business/brand and customers, and ideally, between customers themselves. 3. Operates with a sense of urgency. Unlike traditional corporate communications tools like press releases or prepared interviews and speeches, social media demands immediacy. A question or comment posted on Twitter or on your brand’s Facebook Page or blog must be answered right away. Professional social media managers understand this and respond real-time, with the company's set protocols and guidelines. 4. Understands your business-related goals. All content on your blog, Facebook page, Twitter profile, YouTube channel, etc., has to support your business-related goals. Which means that your social media manager must have an intimate understanding of the company's goals. That requires an editorial calendar displaying a majority of your company’s posts for the next 30-60 days -- each tied to your goals for the current fiscal quarter or year. 5. Seeks input from others. Social media managers shouldn’t work in a vacuum. They need to be proactive, checking with those who know best like department managers, executive team members and front line staffers. Social media managers are only as good as the people around them and the information they freely offer up. 6. Respects confidentiality. A social media manager needs access to all areas of your business. They must know what’s okay to share and what can never be revealed. Forward-looking or safe harbor statements for instance, are never meant for public consumption. Neither are topics related to personnel, vendors and regulatory issues that impact your business. Your social media manager should possess a "when in doubt, kick it out" mentality. What traits and skills do you think a social media manager should have? Let us know in the comments.

All content on a company's Facebook page, even user-generated comments, is now subject to regulations and penalties, according to a judgment by Australia's Advertising Standards Bureau. New Zealand's self-regulatory body, the Advertising Standards Authority, said it has taken the same approach and will assess all social media content based on advertising regulations. The decision has drawn the ire of advertisers and advocates in Australia who say monitoring and pre-moderating the real-time conversation on their pages is too costly, commercially unviable, and undermines the spirit of social media. Ogilvy New Zealand digital advertising director Greg Whitham said Facebook's success was based on its public openness and immediacy, which could be damaged by censorship or moderating. The issue came to the attention of the Australian regulator after two academics filed complaints against Fosters for its Victoria Bitter-branded Facebook page and Diageo for its Smirnoff vodka page. The complaints quoted VB's Facebook page posting statements such as: “it's nearly 5pm - time to crack the weekend's first VB” on a Friday or Saturday afternoon. VB's fans would reply with statements such as: “what's this 5pm crap, cracked my first one hours ago” and “on the 8th already”. In reply to VB's question about what's needed for an Australia Day barbecue, fans replied with statements such as: “sluts" and VB. VB's owner Carlton & United Breweries [CUB] claimed the tone of its Facebook page was “tongue in cheek and ironic” and matched the overall tone of Facebook as well as the tone of mainstream beer marketing in Australia. The comments were “throwaway lines” expressed “in the vernacular” and were not to be taken seriously, it said. CUB did not believe third-party posts on its Facebook pages fell under the definition of advertising and were therefore not regulated by the advertising industry's code of ethics. New Zealand's Advertising Standards Authority chief executive Hilary Souter said branded Facebook pages managed by companies are clearly classed as advertising and the same rules would apply here as in Australia. But the ASA would not go as far as the Australian regulator to categorically state that companies had such an obligation to moderate their pages. “I'm not saying we would take the approach that Australia has taken, we have different codes and requirements, but we are certainly aware of it as an issue and we are aware that the advertising community would like more guidance on this," said Souter. The ASA was working on a “guidance note” to provide advertisers with the background of existing ASA decisions and “help in terms of what they need to look out for”, she said. New Zealand's ASA has already settled at least four cases involving social media, including one where DB Breweries accepted it had responsibility for user-generated content on its sites. A photograph posted by a user showing a young baby holding a bottle of DB Export in its mouth clearly breached standards requiring alcohol advertisements to depict people only over the age of 25, said the ASA. Independent Liquor also agreed to monitor its Facebook feeds more tightly after images were posted showing teenagers indulging in Vodka Cruisers. Dr Andrew Hearn from The Health Promotion Agency, an organisation including the former Alcohol Advisory Council, said alcohol advertising and media exposure increased the likelihood that adolescents would start drinking, or would drink more. Hearn said social media issues were “complex” and he would await the publishing of the ASA's guidelines. Whitham said classifying user-generated posts as advertising was “a little unfair” when the brand had no direct part in the conversation. “That is happening everywhere whether it's on a Facebook wall or in a conversation between friends, Facebook is really just a magnifying glass on some of those conversations that are taking place.” However Whitham said the few social media complaints that had already been through the ASA were “the thin end of the wedge”, especially if companies didn't acknowledge the effort and resources required to manage their social media accounts. © Fairfax NZ News ### Support local music theatre - The Red Chair The RED CHAIR is a great night of live music.

She’s bubbly and charismatic, gushing about how much she loves Melbourne. You half expect her to break for cheers, but judging her sombre corporate audience correctly, she doesn’t. Her connection to Facebook began when her brother begged her to leave her New York advertising job to come work for free in Silicon Valley. “He needed a free marketer, and I was his big sister,” she says. She refused. She had her “dream job” at global ad house Ogilvy. So Mark Zuckerberg called their mother. Eventually she relented and headed to California for a week to check it out. “I was blown away,” she says. “Though, to be fair, I had very low expectations.” She entered Facebook when it consisted of four or five adolescent boys coding around the clock. “They had such a sense of energy and passion,” she says. “They knew they would change the world.” She stayed, becoming Facebook’s head of marketing for the next six and a half years. In that time, she helped Facebook become what it is today. Facebook’s marketing in the early days rested largely on the concept of exclusivity, allowing signups only to certain colleges at first. “We waited until lots of people at a school were begging us to launch Facebook there before we would do it,” she says. As Facebook grew, she says the team was often overawed by what they had created. During the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007, users changed their profile pictures to black ribbons, and used Facebook to organise to help those affected however they could. The Facebook team watched an organic social movement build before their eyes. “It was the first time [I saw that],” Zuckerberg says. But there were lows as well. The team worked for more than a year on the newsfeed – Facebook’s front page that shows what your Facebook friends have done since the last time you logged in. “We were so sure it was going to be awesome,” she says. On the day it launched, users were directed to a page with a big green button, with ‘awesome’ written on it, that would redirect them to their news feed. “But people protested. Hundreds of protestors came to our office with signs. People joined groups called ‘a million against timeline’. We were like, we’ve created a platform so viral people used it to protest our own product!” Over time, Facebook learned how to deal better with its users. The team learned the importance of pre-launch testing, and of allowing users to become involved. This was especially the case with translating, when Facebook invited its multilingual users to help translate the site into other languages. It took 48 hours for the site to be translated into Spanish. A few years later, it took only 24 hours for it to become fully functional in Farsi. Intriguingly, Zuckerberg says during this period, even she wondered about how her team should manage their Facebook accounts. “I wanted them to be on Facebook as much as possible, to be brand ambassadors,” she says. But on the other hand, finding the line between what should and shouldn’t be part of their professional image was complicated at times. Part of Facebook’s success, Zuckerberg says, lies in how it was able to preserve its start-up culture as the company grew. “There are so many Silicon Valley companies who, as they grow to several thousand employees, become corporate… they become not cool to work for.” She says Facebook avoided this by emphasising that good ideas – ideas that could change the company – could come from anyone. Facebook still runs hackathons, where its employees have all night to work on a project outside their area of work, which then has to be presented to the company. “People did really fun things,” Zuckerberg says. One group made a giant QR code on Facebook’s roof that can be scanned from passing airplanes. Another group combined their love of Facebook with their love of beer, making a keg that would update Facebook whenever you poured from it. But Facebook’s employees have also made really useful things. “Most of these great ideas didn’t come from the top. They’d come from interns or low-level employees.” Zuckerberg’s own contribution was Facebook Live. “I was always interested in traditional media, and how it interacted with social media,” she explains. So she made a live video program that streamed on Facebook. At first, she was just interviewing Facebook engineers about what they were working on that day. But then, British pop star Katy Perry wanted to be interviewed. The next week, the White House called and said President Obama was keen to do a ‘Town Hall’ on Facebook Live. Soon the Facebook Live team was reporting on the news. In 2010, Zuckerberg was nominated for an Emmy Award for her coverage of the 2010 mid-term elections. “I didn’t realise,” she says. “I thought if you were nominated for an Emmy they’d roll out a red carpet to your house. They don’t. And why would we check?” It was at this point that that Zuckerberg decided to leave Facebook. “I caught the start-up bug,” she says. “How could I not.” Today, she runs R to Z Studios, a social media consultancy firm. 2012: the year’s 10 biggest trends in social media, according to Randi Zuckerberg 1) Luxury living without luxury spending: Zuckerberg says a slew of start-ups are gaining traction by offering people the chance to live luxurious, decadent lives, without the price tag. Airbnb, for instance, offers tourist accommodation without the hotel price tag by teeing up tourists with city residents happy to rent out their spare room. RentTheRunway allows women to rent out designer couture for the night for a fraction of the full price. FancyHands and TaskRabbit link up busy people with cheap personal assistants, who bill by the hour and do your chores from their own home. 2) The loyalty programs of the future The next big trend Zuckerberg sees is the increasing sophistication of brands on social media. “It’s about emotional connection, and access,” she says. For example, she cites the AFL’s regular fan-only giveaways on its Facebook page. Collingwood Football Club highlights a ‘fan of the week’, and uses a picture of the fan as its display picture. Overseas, Gilt Group – a high-fashion group-buying site – allows its Facebook fans to browse the day’s sales for an hour before they go public. “This is what the loyalty programs of the future look like,” she says. 3) Social media as a platform for customer service “If you can only do one thing with your social media efforts, do this,” says Zuckerberg. Customers have a mindset that brands will quickly respond to them on social media. “If no one responds, it’s a really negative experience,” Zuckerberg says. This can make things difficult for brands such as airlines, which get a “bum deal” on social media. No one posts about the good flights, only the bad ones, giving the impression that customers are less satisfied than they really are. “That means things like airlines have to work even harder than most. But the ones that do it well, do it really well.” She singles out Qantas and ANZ as those who make good use of Facebook. 4) Mobile first Zuckerberg says so many companies in Silicon Valley now think only about mobile. Many don’t even bother to make desktop websites. But it’s not just start-ups such as Instagram doing this. Starbucks in America has launched an application where customers input their credit card details into their phone, and from them on can merely swipe their phone to pay for their coffees, leaving their wallet at home. Chase Bank allows people to take mobile photos of their cheques, which are then transferred to their accounts without the need to go into the bank. 5) Experts are curators “Now there’s an entirely new way to be an expert. We have an entire industry of curators.” Zuckerberg gives the example of Tourism Australia, which, with three million fans, is the largest Facebook page in the country. Holiday snaps and professional photography are curated to create Facebook albums highlighting the best Australia has to offer. This is something corporations can easily do to show their experts in their field, Zuckerberg says. “Think about what you can curate for your clients and customers.” 6) Humour in social media People don’t want corporate professionalism on social media, Zuckerberg says. It’s an intensely personal forum, and brands are increasingly using humour to engage their clients and customers. 7) Crowdsourcing Bankers, venture capitalists, all financial intermediaries are losing ground, she adds. Kickstarter, a platform where people pledge money to see a project get off the ground, has funded more artistic projects than most national endowments for the arts. But it’s not small amounts being funded on crowdsourcing platforms. Eric Migicovsky and a small team recently raised $10 million dollars to develop a watch that connects to your smartphone to download weather information, reminders, and all manner of things you might want without fishing around in your pocket. 8) People as platforms and brands, meaning the message can’t be controlled Through social media, people are increasingly becoming media companies in their own right, producing and promoting content. “Good news travels faster than ever before,” Zuckerberg says. “But so does bad news”. She says she was recently cornered by a Hollywood movie executive who told her Facebook was taking away the ability of movie houses to release bad films, “which we need to do to survive”, she reported the executive saying. The feedback on bad films is now immediate. Studios can’t splash out on marketing and hope a few million will see a film before word gets around that it’s not up to scratch. The film-goers stop going right after opening night. 9) Video and live-streaming As internet speeds increase, corporations and individuals are finding new ways to combine videos and commerce. Zuckerberg describes this year’s Cyber Monday (an American shopping day associated with large online sales), when several channels popped up giving customers the ability to buy the products that they could see featured on the live video in front of them. Accountancy firm Deloitte uses video streaming on Facebook to drive recruitment. By interviewing Deloitte staff about their work, fans get an inside look into what it’s like to work there. “It gives people a real peek under the curtain,” Zuckerberg says. 10) The gamification of everything We’ve covered gamification before on LeadingCompany. Everything is becoming a game, but luckily for us, it’s the things we avoid or dislike doing that are doing it most successfully, Zuckerberg says. Modern alarms charge you a $1 every time you hit snooze. Scales tweet your weight. Nike has an app that updates your social media status whenever you go for a run. Whenever someone hits ‘like’, you hear cheering in your head. Not a bad way to make life more interesting. M Robin is a journalist with Leading Company.

Social Media Today NZ  - the Net Branding Blog   ### Social Media Article in Verve Magazine - August 2012 [slideshow] Social Media defines the activities that integrate technology, social interaction and the sharing of words, images, video and audio. Download PDF of the Article This much talked about form of marketing, often called Social Media Marketing, is part of an overall marketing and branding strategy. It is a technique (comprised of infrastructure and content) used to market your brand online. Cathy Mellett , director of Auckland Social Media Company, Net Branding believes that today’s marketing has followed the rest of the world and has shifted from a one-way broadcast to a multi-point conversation. Our team at Net Branding are dedicated to helping businesses use powerful new online and marketing platforms such as social media, QR codes, keyword research, engaging content generating tools and blogs, to get visibility, traffic, leads, customers and raving fans. “We pride ourselves on delivering affordable social media infrastructure to business in a form that they can then manage on an ongoing basis. Clients capitalising on Social Media yet reducing their ongoing marketing spend”, says Cathy. Depending on your business and how you intend to engage with your potential audience online there are numerous social media networks available for including into your Social Media Strategy. These social media platforms have a different purpose and focus from blogging, networking, bookmarking, publishing to collaborative environments. At any of the Net Branding regular training workshops, we discuss what we consider to be the current primary elements of a social media infrastructure and we are able to support our clients through their initial social media planning phase. In particular and by far the most talked about social media tool is Facebook. Utilising a 3rd generation product of Total Social Media™(TSM) is the foundation of what we work with when creating results for our customers within Facebook.” Originally developed for large-scale commercial advertising applications on Facebook, TSM acquired a worldwide license and created a system to market and sell the TSM technology to small business affordably. The potential of over 900 million users on Facebook alone with hundreds of thousands more using other social media sites creates a vast marketplace of opportunity and success for virtually any company utilizing TSM. “Prior to the release of 2.5 unless someone was a highly capable web-designer or programmer, creating a unique look and feel to their business Facebook profile page was challenging, time-consuming and quite expensive” said Cathy. “There are also necessary skill sets in getting results within Social Media, you just can’t put up a custom tab and expect results. Professionals like Cathy Mellett and her team know how to utilize TSM to increase their customer base without compromising their unprecedented service” says Chris McMahon VP of Marketing for TSM. The important ingredient on Facebook is "engagement" -- going beyond broadcasting to actually interact with your fans. Facebook uses its "Edgerank" algorithm to measure fan engagement and to determine which of your business updates appear in the news feeds of your fans. Your Edgerank score goes up when fans "Like" and comment more on your updates which, in turn, means your posts will be seen by more people. While there's no tried-and-true formula for everyone to maximize engagement all the time, outreach on Facebook doesn't have to be like blindly throwing darts at a board. Here are two questions to ask yourself to make sure your Facebook posts are prompting maximum engagement: 1. Will this add value to the people I'm trying to connect with? As social media is a soft-sell medium, this means you should be providing your fans with value instead of hammering on their door with a hard sell sales pitch. 2. Will this update seem fresh to my fans? If all your Social Media updates sound the same, your outreach can grow stale and your audience might stop engaging. Think of interesting articles, posts and promotions. This variety is what will keep your fans returning to your page as they do not know what to expect. Imagine a Facebook Business Page, which can act as its own mini-website. Customised tabs set your business page apart from others. When a potential consumer lands on your Facebook page you only have between 3-30 seconds to give them the WOW factor. Tabs show professionalism on a Facebook business page and allows your business to showcase your products and / or services. “Solutions that deliver this level of functionality need not cost the earth”, says Cathy.

And an employment law expert has warned Bruce Taiapa's sacking could be repeated if people continue to post pictures on social media sites while they are supposed to be on sick leave. The Employment Relations Authority ruled that training institute Turanga Ararau was justified in firing Mr Taiapa in July last year after he misused his sick leave. In March last year, Mr Taiapa, 59, asked to take a week's leave without pay so he could attend the waka ama championships in Rotorua. He was granted only three days off because no-one was available to cover his work. The next Monday, he called in sick, saying he had a damaged calf muscle. Two days later, his boss saw a picture of him at the championships, posted on Facebook. Mr Taiapa was smiling and giving the thumbs-up. Mr Taiapa said he had gone to Rotorua with his whanau to watch teams he had coached. He then travelled to Tauranga, where his grandsons competed in a squash tournament. It was seven days before he and his whanau returned to Gisborne. Mr Taiapa still believes he did nothing wrong. He told The Dominion Post his dismissal was unjustified because he was on certified sick leave and was entitled to manage his health as he saw fit. "My spiritual being was better there than being miserable at home." Employment law expert and Dominion Post columnist Susan Hornsby-Geluk said employees who took sick leave and then posted pictures on Facebook of their social activities were likely to be fired. "If you are out engaging in social activities, when you should be at home on your sickbed, you run a higher risk of being caught these days . . ." People did not have to remain restricted to their sickbeds while on leave but they did have to take steps to recuperate. "In this case there is little or no relationship between the activities he undertook and his recovery. "There are also serious questions about the genuineness of his illness." Employees needed to take a commonsense approach to what they did while on sick leave, she said. "It's one thing to take a trip to the supermarket when you're supposed to be unwell but quite another thing to go away, essentially on holiday, for a week." GET WELL SOON When on sick leave you can: Go to the doctor and chemist Pick up necessities from the supermarket Go to the DVD store Do some light housework Go for a walk (but an employer has the right to ask questions if you're spotted) You cannot: Post pictures of yourself at the beach on Facebook Go shopping for a new pair of shoes Visit the pub for a beer with mates Work out at the gym - © Fairfax NZ News ### An interesting acquisition at the heart of Facebook for google Source Nz herald Google has bought Kiwi-founded social advertising company Wildfire for a reported US$250 million. New Zealander Victoria Ransom started Wildfire with Alain Chuard four years ago as an adventure travel company in her home country. Looking to give away a free trip to their fans on Facebook, the couple decided to create an application. The software they developed helped them build a 350-strong company now based in the Redwood City, California. Widlfire announced the news today in a company blog. "Today we are about to start a new chapter of our story and we couldn't be more excited to share the news: Wildfire is joining Google! "We truly could not think of a more perfect home for Wildfire." A Google blog said "with Wildfire, we're looking forward to creating new opportunities for our clients to engage with people across all social services. We believe that better content and more seamless solutions will help unlock the full potential of the web for people and businesses." The Wall Street Journal said Google had acquired the company for an as yet undisclosed price but its sources were confident of a figure around US$250 million. Wildfire helps companies promote themselves through social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. The company states on its website that it has over 16,000 clients, including 30 of the top 50 global brands. The Wildfire blog said the company would operate "as usual" and there would be no changes to its service. ### What makes a successful blog ? Thoughts for a successful blog - an unbeatable asset in your online infrastructure. The follow presents classic fundamentals as well as user friendly tips. 1. Create a Well designed and attractive blog The overall design of your site is the first thing visitors see and it significantly influences bounce rate, pageviews and conversions. It pays to include a great layout that fulfills your business requirements yet a great layout need not be expensive in blog world. Your goal: to set yourself apart from our competitors and entice your blog visitors to stay on your site a little longer. 2. Include a Search Box - the most valuable element of your layout It should go without saying that every site needs a prominent search box. Not only does it provide a better experience for your visitors and they are able to search your blog for relevant information. In addition you could search your blog for relevant keywords and review results. 3. RSS is useful and encourages repeat visits RSS feeds not only encourage repeat visits, but the visitors are likely your best converters, brand evangelists, and self-motivated link builders. 4. Navigation Aim for a site with easy access to information yet minimizing the number of clicks to your contact page or information. 5. Images Include media where ever possible and remember to optimise your images. 6. Future your powerful content By placing your best content at the top ensure your blog visitors see it without scrolling and increase the chance that search engines will crawl both your content and links. There is some evidence that Google places less emphasis on content further down the page and sometimes seems to ignore it altogether. 7. Link to Your Best Content yet do not overdo links 8. Sharing for Everyone The statistics are staggering. Mark Zuckerberg recently announced that Facebook users share 4 billion pieces of digital content everyday on Facebook. This includes photos, videos, blog posts and news stories. Sharing now produces 10% of all Internet traffic. While way behind search, this number continues to grow.

If you think marketing and advertising are one and the same, there's a pretty good chance your marketing efforts are being less than successful. If you cast your mind back to the bad old days, companies would advertise to you left right and centre. You would be bombarded by less than subtle sales messages wherever you went. Our TVs, magazines, newspapers and mailboxes were full of 'buy from us now' messages desperate to grab your hard earned cash. But the landscape looks very different these days, with businesses moving away from advertising and towards marketing. Nope, still don't get it In that case, you're probably a business that has dabbled in social media, blogging, article and video marketing only to decide that it doesn't work for you. Well, the reason it's not working is probably because you're still advertising rather than marketing. Let me explain. If you're advertising, you're effectively shouting at your customers 'buy now' with little regard for what they actually want. Perhaps that approach used to work for you, but today's consumers want more than that, they want to be appreciated, wooed and persuaded. The subtle art of marketing Today's marketing channels are social media, video and article marketing and blogging. Each of these disciplines offers the consumer engagement, information, and advice – effectively something for nothing. Or at least that is how it appears. You see, people now want to feel as though you, as a company, value them and their business. They don't just want you to come along, take their money and then head off into the night. Today, you must engage with them, talk to them, offer them great information, be responsive to their questions and generally take in interested in what they want. And that's why you must market and not advertise to them. You see, marketing is all about getting to know your customer and being interested in what they really want, their likes and dislikes and being prepared to chat with them to build relationships. Think carefully about them and how your product or service will benefit them and then show them. The days of the blatant advertising are numbered; today your consumers want more. Talk to them, engagement with them and give them something for nothing. As you do so something magical happens, they begin to trust you and that trust will be manifested in the form of their credit card. Market to your customers and they'll be customers for life. ### Facebook Tip - User Profile vs Business Page Unlike Facebook Profiles,  Business Pages are visible to everyone on the internet.  They are generally better for building long-term relationships with your fans, readers or customers (current and future) and can become a part of your integrated Social Media Marketing endeavours.

The value of broadcasting in this social media age. Full article ### TNG - 4 Speakers - 4 Topics including Social Media (is it a FAD)? - 17 July 2012 ### Why is Daily Facebook Fan engagement so important. Source: Extracted from an article in Web Pro News.   George Takei posted to Facebook: FB used to allow fans to elect to see ALL posts by selecting ‘All Updates’ from the right hand corner of a post. For community pages such as this, though, FB recently decided that only certain fans will see certain posts, and it plans to ask me to pay for more fan views.I understand that FB has to make money, especially now that it is public, but in my view this development turns the notion of “fans” on its head. So I encourage all friends and fans to visit my page regularly to make sure they share in all the fun. In a later post, he allowed a Facebook employee to clear things up a bit by explaining that a page’s posts are never reaching 100% of their audience. In reality, the number is actually closer to 9% on average. “I don’t have any problem with the notion that my posts don’t reach all my fans with each attempt, that seems like a necessary limitation. And in theory I don’t have any problem with Facebook asking pages to pay to reach more fans than the page normally would reach,” says Takei. But he tells me that he doesn’t really see himself paying to promote posts in the future. “If the fans are truly interested, they can visit my page,” he says. “However, if other pages want to promote commercial opportunities, I can see how it might make sense for them to pay for a greater reach in those instances.” GET IN TOUCH ### Workshop - What is this Social Media Thing?

Facebook has purchased facial recognition startup Face.com, the companies announced Monday morning. “People who use Facebook enjoy sharing photos and memories with their friends, and Face.com’s technology has helped to provide the best photo experience,” a Facebook spokesperson told VentureBeat. “This transaction simply brings a world-class team and a long-time technology vendor in house.” Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but previous reports pegged the acquisition price at between $80 million and $100 million. The deal, which is still pending, is expected to close within the coming weeks. Founded in 2007, Face.com makes technology that can identify people in photos and even guess a person’s age. The company makes mobile-friendly products such as a developer API and an iOS camera application called KLIK that uses facial recognition technology to help users automatically tag Facebook friends in photos. KLIK, according to third-party Facebook app tracking service AppData, has 40,000 monthly active Facebook users. Face.com’s mobile acumen appears to be the key selling point here. The startup’s alignment with Facebook on mobile strategy was even discussed by CEO Gil Hirsch in a blog post on the news. “We love building products, and like our friends at Facebook, we think that mobile is a critical part of people’s lives as they both create and consume content, and share content with their social graph,” Hirsch said. “By working with Facebook directly, and joining their team, we’ll have more opportunities to build amazing products that will be employed by consumers — that’s all we’ve ever wanted to do.” Following a marred public debut, Facebook has wasted no time in filling mobile holes with calculated hires and purchases. The social network purchased mobile gifting app Karma, recruited the design experts behind Bolt Peters and the iOS dev know-it-alls at Pieceable Software, and also may be actively looking at buying Opera for its mobile browser. GET IN TOUCH ### Social Media Workshop and Training - Auckland Reviews after our June 2012 Social Media Workshop in Auckland Overall a good presentation and one I’m glad I attended. Cathy Mellett spoke well/ articulated well – easy to follow. Cathy appears very knowledgeable in her field of expertise. The subject (Social Media) is bigger than I initially thought & I think she covered it well/ was thorough. GW - Social Media Workshop Attendee (June 2012) Well, as you have seen from our page invite and linkd in etc we took it all on board. Kathy Mellett was amazing, articulate, friendly, positive, informative, and so nice. Her talk was detailed, but lighthearted, and so inspiring. If we can find such dynamic interesting people in the future then we should see hundreds of pods wanting to be part of ongoing learning. Thanks Caron for a great find. JH - Social Media Workshop Attendee (June 2012) I thought she did a fantastic presentation. Cathy Mellet opened my eyes to the everyday changes of the virtual world. The biggest points I picked up on and the ones that I thought were important to me were; - that everyday something you put up there makes a difference to change over time. And that it doesn't happen straight away - making it personal keeps them thinking about your business or they are interested in your business - putting something on the page such as information about eg: how To treat something etc etc or pointers - that it can be cost effective.

Your clients, especially those under age 50, look 1st to the Internet for business information – nearing zero for traditional Yellow & White Page searches. And increasingly, they are looking using their mobile devices versus PCs. With that cultural change in mind, here’s a jumpstart on how your Facebook business page can index keyword- rich and relevant posts on the search engines. LINK for article ### Are you looking for easy ways to engage new Facebook fans? Are you looking for easy ways to engage new Facebook fans using the new Timeline format? If you are a business on Facebook – why do you need Facebook Timeline Apps? Over the last few months the new Facebook Timeline layout has become mandatory for all facebook page owners. We are starting to find our way around this changed format and starting to identify the opportunities that this new format presents for our businesses. This new layout is suitable for lots of video and photos but in previous Social Media posts I have covered some of the new Facebook rules and changes e.g. your cover photo cannot be promotional or the change to the fact that we are no longer able to drive traffic directly to a default “welcome” tab prompting them to “Like” our page before moving on. In addition page admins have their work cut out as they 1. Seek higher engagement of fans and 2. Encourage fans to take action. Remember without engagement, your business page is as good as invisible in the newsfeed. Without being able to designate a default landing tab on your page, businesses and Facebook page administrators need to be a little more creative. This has resulted in us recommending the use of custom apps to direct Facebook page visitors to take action, “like” your page or interact with your page in some way or another. You will not longer find these Facebook apps on the left-hand side of your page (the old facebook layout). These apps are now featured directly below your cover photo alongside your photo tab (a non negotiable tab). An optional way to make up for the loss of engagement with a default landing tab is to drive page visitors to your custom apps instead. (You could use Facebook advertising or general calls to actions on your tab images to encourage this.) Remember, custom apps are prime real estate (beneath your cover page) when optimized. To get the most out of this prime position, you need to create a Facebook strategy for your page. 1. What’s your strategy going to be to invite, engage and convert potential fans? 2. How will you use third-party tools or applications? 3. How can you promote and drive traffic to your custom app? 4. Engagement with Fans Define Your Facebook Strategy As you focus on your Facebook Page, you need to be clear about what you would like to achieve on your facebook page and how does any tool or application support you objectives. Is this tool / app there for lead generation, or do you want to drive people to a specific tab on your facebook page? Do you want to encourage people to like your page by providing them with a conversion incentive? Are you going to use video on some of your tabs? Here are a few examples: • A sweepstake with a “complete your info” mini CRM System. • An About us interactive page • A Coupon for potential client The utilisation of video (product, testimonial or related) within custom apps is another great way to connect with your fans, engage with them on a more personal level. These videos could be included on your welcome tab (see example below). Does the third party app support this? Another custom app strategy is to use a tab to connect your Facebook page to your blog or best blog post, website or contact us page. This allows any potential Facebook Page visitor to edify you and your business or service. It is important to note that the more value you can create on your Facebook page, the greater your visitor to fan conversion rate will be and the higher your overall fan engagement will be. Another useful strategy for custom apps is to create an e-commerce opportunity. Whilst the success of online shopping within Facebook has been questionable, the ability to be able to move a fan to you online shop is valuable. Third-Party Tool to Create Your Custom App There are many third party tools available to create your custom applications. I utilise the Total Social Media App and it certainly ticks many of the boxes in terms of a complete solution for multiple facebook strategies and needs. Promote and Drive Traffic to Your Custom App As an administrator of a facebook page, you are no longer able to direct a potential fan to a specific page – therein lies your new challenge. How do you drive Facebook traffic to a page? In order to grab your potential fans’ attention and increase page engagement, make sure you use strong calls to action in both the custom app name and the app thumbnail image. Use phrases such as “Sign-up”, “Watch”, “Enrol Now”, “Free” Coupon, in the thumbnail image. These calls to action should be clear and targeted at ensuring your page receives more clicks.

Extending Facebook features and is this important for your online and branding presence? Please find below five reasons why you should consider creating Tabs for your business Facebook page. It sets your business page apart from other businesses or profiles. When users arrive at your Facebook page you only have between 3-30 seconds to give them the WOW factor. It shows professionalism on a business page allows the business to showcase their products and/or services. Your Facebook page is more engaging to a consumer keeping that consumer on your page longer. A tab provides you with a better chance of that consumer returning to your page. It help a business create brand awareness. Without a custom tab the only place to get information about what a business is offering is by clicking on their "About" section on Facebook.

Social media marketing is credited with helping a new business turn over $1 million in its first year of trading. United Sweets of New Zealand has hit nearly 13,700 Facebook likes and is attracting about 1000 new fans each week. It stocks about 300 confectionery products, many recognised by American movie buffs but not readily available here. Staff post the goods to thousands of customers countrywide and plan to increase the range to 500 products this year. Directors and siblings Finn and Micah Puklowski said social media had given them the edge over their competition. "There's nothing to stop someone else starting a similar business. Our strength is our loyal fan base and the way we interact with them," Micah Puklowski said. United Sweets runs regular competitions on Facebook to build its fan base. "We've made full use of social media and online marketing. It's an e-commerce business supplying a product not readily available in NZ. People love it." Finn Puklowski said the company did little other marketing apart from Facebook. The business started as a website in December last year. This month, they opened a small shop in Hamilton. Finn said because he and his sister were social media-savvy and on Facebook a lot anyway, it was easy for them to communicate with customers. "We build everything around Facebook." The business was expanding into malls and he said its kiosks would offer built-in iPads so customers could "like" the page to get special offers. Finn said having a large number of Facebook followers helped build trust and could make a business appear bigger than it was. "People don't trust online so it's a way to build that." He added that done well, a social media presence could make potential customers think of a business as human, rather than a faceless brand. But he said big, established companies had less success, citing General Motors pulling out of Facebook because it was already an established, household brand and found it was gaining little from social media. A crackdown by Facebook has highlighted the need to follow the site's extensive list of regulations. Hell Pizza's Facebook page, with more than 20,000 likes, was deleted for breaching the rules. A spokesman for social media firm Mosh, Jeremy Marks, said it seemed the page was deleted in an automated process. A Facebook representative in Australia was contacted to restore it. Another company, Velvet Burger, had its page deleted after it posted a promo offering to split Lotto winnings with anyone who shared the post. It lost its 9500 fans. Marks said the biggest mistake businesses made was starting a page then ignoring it. "If people find a Facebook page that was last updated a month ago, or only has photos of the owner's dogs, it can be quite brand damaging." ### Competitions | Promotions | Sweepstakes in Facebook - what you should know? I've recently noticed a few groups and pages within Facebook running competitons that do not adhere to Facebook's policies and procedures so thought it an opportune time to share these policies with you. What you are NOT able to do when running a competition on Facebook. Please find below some NOT to do for Page and Group administrators. Run any sort of promotion, competition, sweepstakes  on your Facebook page using Facebook’s features and functionality – example please  ‘like this update’  or  ‘share this photo’  or  ‘upload your photo to our page’  or ‘add a comment’ or 'tell me why you should win this product or service'. Hold Facebook responsible.   You should include a disclaimer that releases Facebook of any responsibility – example 'This promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Facebook”. You must also disclose who the entrant of the sweepstake or competition is giving their personal information to. The usual wording is “Participants are providing information to [your company name and the name of any other companies who see entrants information] and not to Facebook. Use any Facebook features or functionality as part of the promotion or participation other than liking your page, checking in or connecting to your app. Use Facebook features or functionality as a promotion’s registration or entry mechanism -  example  the process of "liking " your page or" checking in"  or "commenting" cannot automatically register or enter the person in your promotion. Essentially a condition of entry can be to like your page but the fan must then complete their entry on your Facebook app or custom page / tab. Use the Like button as a way of voting (example most likes  of the photograph wins are not okay). Notify winners through Facebook –example don’t use Facebook message, chat or posting on the winner’s page, your page or another company’s page to notify winners. These rules apply when promoting your promotion as well.   So when you advertise (example Facebook adverts) or reference a promotion (example in a Wall post) you need to follow the rules.   These types of promotions are therefore NOT OK (these are often called Wall Promotions) because you’re using Facebook features and functionality to run the promotion: Share this [update / photo / video etc] to be in to win… Upload a photo / video … Every 25th new fan wins… Add a comment … Invite your friends to like our page … Answer this question … Photo with the most likes wins … For any information on your Social Media requirements please contact the team at Net Branding ### Keywords are the foundation of any online activity Understanding that your keywords form the basis of any online activity is important. The whole point of pay per click (PPC) is that it's targeted, so make sure your keywords are included in the heading and body of your ad. Not only will this highlight your ad's relevance, it will also reassure the potential customer that you are offering what they are looking for. In addition don't cram all the keywords into the header. Be selective in order to ensure a professional brand image is maintained. For assistance with your businesses keywords contact the team at Net Branding ### Would you pay to be popular in Facebook? Source: NZ Herald. Facebook is testing a "pay to be popular" option in New Zealand so users can get noticed by their friends The social network is currently offering some users a $2 "highlight" feature to ensure their posts are seen by more people. It's one of several money-making drives being testing ahead of Facebook's listing on the stockmarket. Recent figures have shown that only 12 per cent of users' Facebook friends see an average status update. The highlight feature will let users pay to have posts appear to more friends. As well as being tested with some users in New Zealand, a free version is also being trialled to gauge users' interest. Facebook said it was constantly testing new features.

Most business owners are stretched and are not looking for yet another thing add to their to-do list. The one option to consider is that you could hire a subject matter expert and writer, who with your guidance and outline of ideas for the blog could provide you with some content to post. Often when I’m talking to business owners they are already preparing something to present in a regular forum e.g BNI - networking forum or regular meeting . If they simply jot down these thoughts, they may well be on their way to creating a unique blog post for their business blog. What do I write about? As a business owner, you already know your customers well. Start thinking about common questions clients may ask or things you are assisting your customer with, new products coming onto the market, changes in technology. These are all great ideas for blogging. My customers won't read my blog. This may well be correct but your blog will reach prospective new customers who are out their searching in search engines such as Google for a product or service such as yours. If your content on your blog is relevant and remember that content is king. Then your blog will be found. But I don't know how to blog. Where do I start? That’s where the team at Net Branding are able to assist you. We are either able to train you or a staff member to blog yourselves or we offer a service to upload your blog posts to your site. Constantly uploading information to your blog is critical and yes it does require a dedicated commitment on your behalf. Net Brandng also partner with promotions companies who are able to assist you with the professional writing of your blog content. Please contact Net Branding to discuss or for more information. ### Google is changing its algorithms once again. Source "I need it Blog" The Google algorithm is reported to be undergoing another major overhaul that will transform Google search into more than just a conventional search engine. Google is trying to fix its shortcoming in the modern day technology as well as continue its dominance in the search market. Google’s top search executive Amit Singhal outlined the company’s vision for search that will soon take it beyond just keyword-search result. In other words, a search on Google will not only understand your question but also give you results with extra information relating to your query. For example : If today you ask Google about “the 10 deepest lakes in the U.S,” it will give you a very good result based on the keywords in the phrase and sites with significant authority on those words and even word groupings. However in the future you can expect Google to not only answer your lake question but also tell you that a lake is a body of water and tell you the depth, surface areas, temperatures and even salinities for each lake. Over the next few months Google will be incorporating a technology called the semantic Web search (which refers to the process of understanding the actual meaning of words such as differentiating between the car brand ‘Jaguar’ and the animal ‘jaguar) to enhance the quality of its search results by actually trying to understand the meaning of the search query. With Semantic search Google will be able to match associate different words/queries with a database containing hundreds of millions of “entities”—people, places and things. While it is known that a Google user will soon see more relevant results to his search query, it is still not clear what impact would these changes have on website rankings. Google has not yet given any new advice to webmasters, I suspect they will have to wait until the changes are rolled out. I suspect that this will impact on the way that the Google search engine currently exams website before ranking these sites in the search results.

Cathy Mellett ### Article provided by Jim Lupkin - 5 Tactics to Conquer Goliath Competitors Thanks to Jim Lupkin for providing Net Branding with a copy of his interview. @netbrandingnz 5 Tactics to Conquer Goliath Competitors inc.com Can your small business really succeed against the big guys? With these social media tactics, you can be fierce, even if you're small and scrappy. Corbis The biggest companies always seem to have the upper hand in advertising and marketing, with their substantial budgets and progressive research-and-development. However, in light of on-going economic woes, small businesses can develop the No. 1 skill to give them a knock-down competitive advantage. Namely, social media. "Competition? What competition?" says Jim Lupkin, founder of Summa Social. "With a powerful social media plan in place, any small business owner can level the competitive playing field." Lupkin had been using social media marketing tactics long before the genesis of the term "social media." For 15 years, he has aggressively used social media to capture market share in his respected industries; whether it was capturing 20,000 customers on a consumable product, providing Web services to 1,200 small business owners, or crafting a social network. In addition, Jim has helped thousands of small business owners around the world—including the likes of Dr. Mikel Harry, co-creator of world-renowned Six Sigma—simplify and demystify their social media processes. To this end, Lupkin and his partners at Summa Social have launched the first-of-its-kind "Virtual Social Media Agency" service, which allows a small business to have direct access to a full-service social media agency for $50 a month. Summa Social must be doing something right, because nationally recognized companies, like ForRent.com, Homes.com, and Social Outbreak have enthusiastically engaged their system. Lupkin shared his top-five tactics his agency uses to help clients outmaneuver competitors. With these strategies in place, your competition's resources don't dictate the outcome of the game. "If you have a product that people want and it is priced correctly, then you have no competition—except yourself," Lupkin says. 1. Engage the "know-like-trust" factor. How can you persuade people to buy from you when they can easily buy from your competition at a lower price? Jim's answer is what he calls the "know-like-trust" factor. Simply put, help your customer see you as a friend, not just a business. One way to do that is to respond to every comment and "Like" with a meaningful response within 24 hours. Takeaway: A strong, interactive presence in social media allows you to magnify this factor and the result is engagement, conversions, and referrals! 2. Large ad budgets no longer dictate a company's credibility. When a customer is comparing your product to another, he or she will look to see how many social-media fans you have, and how fans interact on your Facebook Business page. One of Lupkin's clients, Humble Seed, acquired 10 new wholesale accounts due to the sheer size of their Facebook fan base. This start-up company is only two years old and it is already successfully competing with larger brands. Takeaway: First, ask all of your existing customers to 'like' your Facebook business page. Because they already enjoy your product, they will interact more and their friends will end up liking your page as well. That's word-of-mouth marketing at its best! 3. Use social media to become an influencer in your industry. A customer is fantastic. A new partnership that sends you ten new customers is even better! Partnerships are no longer earned simply because you have been in business for a long time. Another of Lupkin's clients, Systematic Intelligence, developed a partnership that drove 400 customers their way over a period of 18 months. This company was in business for only six months when the partnership developed. Takeaway: Define companies that have a similar customer base and contact them on Facebook. Give them a win-win proposal and you could develop a lasting partnership. 4. Ask for customer feedback. How does your competition continue to develop the coolest products? They spend a lot of money on think tanks and testers. But with a strong social media presence, all you have to do is ask! One of Lupkin's colleagues had an idea for a company-branded iPhone cover. He asked his customers for input and a few weeks later he had orders flowing in for his new product. His cost for research? Nothing; it's free. Takeaway: If you build a successful social media presence, you will have thousands of people willing to tell you exactly what they want and why they will buy it from you. 5. Customers offer raving referrals. The quality of your customer service can make or break your business. But it's too expensive for most businesses to hire customer service reps right away. When someone posts a complaint on your page, quickly answer and keep it public for everyone else to see. Also, search your company as a keyword search in Facebook and comment when others are talking about your company with their friends.

Thursday, April 05, 2012 Sponsored Stories: Should users be allowed to opt-out? In the past few months, you've probably seen an increase in "Sponsored Stories" when you're browsing Facebook. If that term doesn't ring a bell, Sponsored Stories are basically advertisements, promoted by a brand, based on your activity that you've already put out there for the world to see. Let's say that you posted a status update, checking-in at Starbucks and talking about how you finally got your morning cup of coffee and it saved your day. Facebook might display that "Story" prominently on a friend's News Feed under the heading of "sponsored." The whole point of Sponsored Stories is to mix the core experience of Facebook with advertising. If the "ad" is actually just a promotion of an already written status update, or "like" of a particular page, it's going to feel more organic to the user that sees it in their feed. After all, if your friend said that they just had the new Frankenstein Frito-Dorito-creation from Taco Bell and they loved it, that naturally serves as a better advertisement than one from Taco Bell themselves. Or at least that's the thought. That crucial personal link between the likeness of someone a user knows and the advertisement is being challenged by a Vancouver woman. Debbie Douez has filed a class action lawsuit in British Columbia courts that claims Facebook was in violation of privacy laws when they used her image and name in a Sponsored Story. What do you think about Sponsored Stories? Do you think that there's anything wrong with Facebook promoting actions that you've already taken? Let us know in the comments. For Douez, the problem stems from a particular Sponsored Story that Facebook promoted. Earlier this year, the lawsuit states that "Facebook authored a Sponsored Story which displayed the plaintiffs name and portrait to least one of her Friends in the following format: Debbie Douez likes Cool Entrepreneurs." Obviously, Douez liked a page on the site and that action was eventually promoted by Facebook to her friends. Douez argues that she did not consent to Facebook's use of her name and "portrait" (profile pic) in any type of advertising for Cool Entrepreneurs. Here's the crux of the argument, straight from the filing: Facebook does not give notice to Members that their names or portraits are being used in connection with a Sponsored Story or that Facebook is depicting that Member as endorsing a particular good or service. In other words, other Members may view advertisements, including Sponsored Stories, purportedly endorsed by a Member who is unaware that his or her name or portrait is being used in connection with that advertisement. Facebook does not advise, inform or compensate Members when it uses their names or portraits to endorse a Sponsors goods or services or otherwise displays Members' names or portraits in Sponsored Stories. Facebook does not allow Members to either limit or altogether block the appearance of their names or portraits in connection with a Sponsored Story. Since the introduction of Sponsored Stories, Facebook has not sought or obtained Members' consent to use Members' names or portraits for the purpose of advertising or promoting the sale of Sponsors' goods or services. And the lawsuit goes on to complain that Facebook fails to compensate users for using their image and name to promote these particular brands, saying "Facebook did not compensate the Class members for the use of their names of portraits in Sponsored Stories advertising or promoting any goods or services notwithstanding that such use generated advertising revenues for Facebook." Put all of this together, and you can sum up the complaint in this way: You didn't tell us, you didn't pay us, and we can't opt out. The suit finally says that in doing all of this, Facebook has violated statutes in the Canadian Privacy Act, and: Facebook's use of the plaintiff and Class members' names or portraits without consent was high-handed, outrageous, wanton, reckless, callous, disgraceful, willful and entirely without care for the plaintiffs and Class members' statutory right to control the use of their own names or portraits, and as such renders Facebook liable to pay punitive damages. While Facebook is absolutely transparent in terms of how Sponsored Stories work, Douez is right in saying that users don't receive notice when one of their actions is promoted as a Sponsored Story. She's also right in saying that users can't opt-out of Sponsored Stories - as to say they can't stop Facebook from promoting all of their activities on the site. At this point, it might help to discuss the differences between Facebook's social ads and the Sponsored Stories. Both Facebook ads and Sponsored Stories have a social element. You've probably seen ads all over Facebook for goods and services, or for particular brands in general that show your friends' "likes." For instance, an ad for McDonalds might appear in the right hand column on your Facebook dashboard that reads "The McRib is back." Under that, it might also read "Jack Smith likes McDonalds." This is an ad that is paired with a social action after the fact. Facebook explains adding social elements to ads by saying "everyone wants to know what their friends like. That's why we pair ads and friends—an easy way to find products and services you're interested in, based on what your friends share and like." Sponsored Stories, like I mentioned before, are just a little bit different. They take pages you like, apps you use, or statuses you make and promote them after the fact. It's a story built from a story that a user's friends can already see. For instance, I might see that my pal Jacob liked Mountain Dew earlier in the day, and then see it as a sponsored story later in the day. The main difference between the two, however, is the ability for users to opt-out. You can edit your privacy settings to read "pair my social action with ads for no one." If you do this, that hypothetical ad for McDonald's McRib won't have the addendum that shows you like that particular brand. Making this privacy change won't affect Sponsored Stories however. Users can't opt-out of having their actions appear as Sponsored Stories, bascially because Facebook says that Sponsored Stories are nothing more than your own real stories, re-promoted. Sponsored Stories are organic, and don't contain any additional message from the sponsor: We sometimes allow businesses or anyone else to sponsor stories like the ones that show up in your News Feed, subject to the audience set for that story. While these are sponsored, they are different from ads because they don't contain a message from the person that sponsored them. Your friends will see these stories even if you have opted out of the Show my social actions in Facebook Ads setting. All of this is in Facebook's fine print, but the suit claims that it's not enough. "If you're going to be using somebody's name or somebody's portrait for advertising purposes, you need to obtain their consent," Douez's lawyer told CBC News. As far as Facebook's ability to use your intellectual property (i.e. photos), they do give a pretty succinct explanation in their terms of service: For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it. We've seen the use of Facebook photos question by miffed parties before, when some Boston high-schoolers were upset after pictures they posted to Facebook wound up as advertising on porn sites. Facebook is Facebook. That might sound meaningless, but what I'm trying to say is that people log on to Facebook, knowing that they are participating in a public forum. Even if you have your privacy settings cranked up to 11, and only a select few friends can see most of your activity, that still qualifies as public (just not as public as some people). Sponsored Stories take an action that you've already taken, and allows brands (or anyone else for that matter) to re-promote it on the user's friends' News Feed. They don't make any new information available. If you "liked" Starbucks earlier in the day, your friends could go to your "About" page and see it there with all of your likes. But for brands, Facebook is providing some really high quality advertising. Making sure that a user's friends see that he's playing a certain game or checking-in at a certain restaurant seems like a much better strategy than a generic ad on the side of the page. Should Facebook require consent before using a user's activity in a Sponsored Story? Should users be able to opt-out, in the same way they can with social ads? Do you even care if your activity is used as a sponsored story? Let us know what you think in the comments.

Know the legal risks Vikram Kumar || National Business Review New file sharing law - NZ downloaders simply shift tactics Impossible. Nuts. Unbelievable. Those are some of the more polite reactions when I tell people that having a .com domain name for their website is sufficient for them to be subject to US jurisdiction - which allows for nasty stuff like the US government seizing their website or extradition to USA to stand trial over there based on allegations alone. The bottom line: If you have a .com domain name, or other at-risk domain names like .net, you are subject to US domestic laws and jurisdiction. This allows the US government to seize your website or even seek your extradition to USA to stand trial, based on allegations of breaking their laws. You’re also at risk from any mistakes and collateral damage. I was initially hesitant to raise this issue because it might sound self-serving. InternetNZ is the designated manager of the country code .nz. Two of our subsidiary companies do the actual technical and policy bits for the .nz domain name space. But given the risks and the general lack of awareness about the issues, it’s important to know the facts. Bodog.com The easiest way to explain is using a recent example, Bodog.com (have a look at the website to see what a seized website looks like). Bodog is an ‘online entertainment brand’ launched by Canadian Calvin Ayre in 1994. It rapidly evolved into a high-profile online gaming and betting website. The US government has been targeting overseas online gambling websites for many years, stepping up efforts after a federal law passed in 2006 that prohibits unlawful Internet gambling operations from accepting payments from Americans. Something like 12% of Americans go to an online casino each year so online gambling involves a lot of people and money. On 27 February 2012 the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland got approval for the seizure of Bodog’s main domain name, Bodog.com. The registry for all .com domain names is run by Verisign, headquartered in California. Even though Bodog.com was registered by a Canadian company via a Canadian registrar DomainClip, Verisign duly complied with the court order and changed the rootzone for .com to redirect the domain to the takedown page. There are a couple of additional points about this takedown, all highlighting how ends justify the means to the US Government: Bodog’s business activities are completely legal in the country where it is registered, Canada. For years the Department of Justice had maintained that online gambling was illegal. In a spectacular about turn just before Christmas last year, it said that the law (the Wire Act) only applied to sports betting. They finally recognised the obvious- it takes some skill to win at poker and blackjack. So when it took action against Bodog, it wasn’t for its main activity of online gambling but the relatively smaller one of sports betting. In the past, some US registrars haven’t waited for a court order to take down their customers’ websites. The sorry story of JetForm is worth noting. JotForm is in the business of helping customers create online forms that can then be embedded in their websites for easy data collection. Without any warning, at the request of a single employee of the US Secret Service, American registrar GoDaddy took down its website, immediately breaking 2 million forms across the Internet. Later- much later after the owner made a fuss publicly- the US Secret Service admitted it made a mistake and “launched an internal review to make sure all our policies and procedures were followed in the matter.” JotForm is not an isolated incident and the US government has acknowledged more mistakes, such as the seizure of hip-hop site Dajaz1.com under the 2008 Pro IP Act and once took down 84,000 websites by mistake. US jurisdiction Clearly, the US Government will try and find ways to claim jurisdiction to target overseas websites that it believes to be illegal under its own domestic laws. In the case of Megaupload, it was servers located in Virginia. For Bodog, it was their .com domain name. All of this even as SOPA-type laws are in the making. Seizing websites for alleged infringements based on having a .com name, such as Bodog, are by no means a recent phenomena. An official spokesperson for ICE (US Immigration and Customs Enforcement) says they’ve seized 750 domains in this way. Much of the recent step-up has come from Operation In Our Sites launched in June 2010. With a huge amount of money and people dedicated to addressing the ‘problem’ of overseas companies ‘stealing’ or ‘harming’ US interests, the momentum to take high-profile action is only going to increase. Amongst all of this, democratic foundations such as due process are either ignored or subverted. The ends justify the means. Not .com alone The official spokesperson quoted above also said, "They [US federal agencies] have the right to seize any .com, .net and .org domain as the companies with the contracts to administer them are located on American soil, and therefore fall under U.S. laws." So it’s not only people with .com domain names that need to think about the risks. The same applies to other domain names run by Verisign (.net, .name, .jobs, .cc, and .tv) as well as by other US-based registries, such as the Public Interest Registry that runs the .org. domain. We estimate that about 34% of domain names registered by New Zealanders, or about 250,000 domain names, are other than .nz. The vast majority of these are .com domain names with a sprinkling of the other at-risk domain names. TVShack.net The US government isn’t limited to foreign rich guys like Kim Dotcom and Calvin Ayre. For example, there is a 23 year old computer science student in England, Richard O'Dwyer. He’s been charged by ICE with criminal infringement for setting up TVShack.net. This website was like a search and listing service for links to TV programs and other online entertainment material. ICE seized the TVShack.net in June 2010 on the basis of jurisdiction over all .net domain names. The replacement TVShack.cc was also similarly shut down. Richard O'Dwyer has been fighting extradition to the US since May 2011 and, so far, both the courts and more recently the UK government has backed US authorities. The fact that he was merely providing links to, rather than hosting, copyright infringing material hasn’t stopped the extradition process. This is despite linking sites having been found to be perfectly legal in UK. Commenting on the case, an official ICE spokesperson said, “The jurisdiction we have over these sites right now really is the use of the domain name registry system in the United States. That's the key... The only necessary ‘nexus to the US’ is a .com or .net web address for which Verisign acts as the official registry operator.” ICANN up in arms? One could reasonably expect that ICANN [the global domain name body] would be up in arms over all this messing around with the domain name system. ICANN is, after all, the global body responsible for overseeing the domain name system. Unfortunately, perhaps due to its own difficulties with the US Government, ICANN ducked the whole issue. In a blog post, CEO Rod Beckstorm merely noted that ICANN doesn’t take down domain names, ICE does. No mention of undermining the domain name system, including a risk of splitting the root so that there is no longer a single Internet. Worse, recently ICANN’s security team went further and issued a step-by-step guide that “offers guidance for anyone who prepares an order that seeks to seize or take down domain names.” Bottom line To reiterate: If you have a .com domain name, or other at-risk domain names like .net, you are subject to US domestic laws and jurisdiction. This allows the US government to seize your website or even seek your extradition to USA to stand trial, based on allegations of breaking their laws. You’re also at risk from any mistakes and collateral damage. If these risks are acceptable, then there’s nothing to do. If they aren’t, use domain names (registry and registrar) and servers outside US jurisdiction. That will reduce, but not entirely remove, misguided threats from the US Government to your legitimate activities online. Finally, a note of caution to the complacent, to the people in the “I’m not doing anything wrong so why should I care” camp. When a government finds a means that works, the range of ends to which it feels justified to apply that means can expand very quickly.

A thought....  Do you want to direct internet traffic to your phone? Without website content, there would be nothing to optimise.... and this pertains to on-site content and content that is published elsewhere on the web. A search engines objective is  to provide internet searchers and end users with the best possible search results. This means quality content that is actually useful, and not only created to stuff lots of keywords. Content is king, but only if it is good! Publishing low quality content will do more harm than publishing no content at all. www.mediasocial.co.nz ### Why do you think about Keywords? Keywords essentially shape the whole online campaign. They are used throughout the content and as anchor text links in order to attract the search engine spiders and to appear in the search engine results page for relevant search terms and phrases. Why are keywords important? Using the wrong keywords results in missed opportunities and internet traffic that won’t convert. Some business owners have preconceived ideas as to what keywords to use and don’t bother with the keyword research. In many cases, people are searching in ways that you wouldn’t expect so this step can’t be overlooked. Keyword research is a vital component of any online strategy. For more information on your keywords, please contact the team at Net Branding. ### 10 recommended social media sites I'm posting this article as these sites reflect my recommendations to clients. Yes some are more valid for B2B situations and others suit your B2C scenario. In addition marketing tools such as QR codes play an important role. Enjoy the article. Cathy Mellett There is no doubt that social media marketing has taken the lead in marketing online strategies. Social media sites have exploded and continue to grow in number and popularity. If you own a business, it can be very difficult to know where to begin in this extensive marketing arena. There are dozens and dozens of social sites and more popping up all the time. I have compiled a list of the ten best social sites. I have chosen these sites by my own professional opinion and by actual popularity. 1. Facebook - Facebook has an estimated 850 million users! This is the most popular social site and my favorite as well. Facebook is very versatile in what you can do with your page. Fill out your profile completely. Add images and videos to your page to make it more interesting and interactive. Visit your page every day and post helpful information, links and resources. Answer all comments promptly. 2. Twitter - Twitter has 200 million estimated active users. I like Twitter because it is quick, easy and effective for marketing your business. You simply add tidbits of information, new product info, sales and/or specials, links, motivational quotes, etc. and tweet! Keep your tweets professional and beneficial to your followers. Don't tweet things like what you're having for dinner or what movie you just watched. Get involved with other tweeters and participate! 3. LinkedIn - LinkedIn now has over 150 million estimated users. The thing I like about LinkedIn is how you can participate in groups that interest you or will benefit your business. Join groups and be sure to participate in the discussions by offering real and helpful information and advice. Follow their guidelines on how to completely and effectively fill out your profile. 4. Google+ - Google+ is one of the newer social sites, but it already has an estimated 65 million users! I must admit, I have not done much with Google+ as of yet, but I do like the format and versatility of the site. Be sure to add the +1 Google feature to your website so people can click it to show they like your site. This will help you in the ratings. Again, be sure to complete your profile and spend time daily or at least weekly on your Google+ page. 5. Pinterest - With over 10 million active users, Pinterest is growing in popularity very quickly. Pinterest has come up with something a little different. You are given a pinboard to add visual items such as photos, graphs, videos, etc. Pinning helpful visual information is a great way to attract people to your pinboard. You can add comments as well. People respond more to visual items than just words so get over to Pinterest and start pinning! 6. Ecademy - Ecademy has over 17 million users. Ecademy is a membership site for business owners to connect, help and grow with one another. There are paid and frée memberships. Take the time to build relationships with other business owners. You can start your ówn clubs, write blog posts, and participate in discussions. This site is more involved than some social sites and will take more time to learn to use effectively. 7. YouTube - YouTube has an estimated 300 million users. YouTube is a video sharing site. Making an effective marketing video to share on YouTube can have a dramatic effect on your site traffic. Show your expertise with instructional and informational videos. You can also present slide shows to market your products and/or services. Set up an account and start uploading those business growing videos. 8. StumbleUpon - Despite a "stumble" in growth, StumbleUpon is now growing in popularity and has an estimated 20 million users. StumbleUpon is a social site that allows the users to share interesting and helpful websites. You will need to be an active user to reap the benefits from this site. 9. Ryze - With less than a million members, Ryze is not the most popular of the social networking sites but it can be effective. Ryze is similar to LinkedIn in that it is a place for professionals to grow, connect and help one another succeed. Join networks that target your business and network with other business owners. 10. Blogs - Blogs are very popular social sites and there are lots of them. Search for blogs that target your niche and become active with guest posts, comments, etc. Participating on blogs can help you make connections and get traffic you might not have gotten. Also, if you do not have your blog yet, be sure to get started. I would recommend Wordpress, but there are other blog services available. If you are a business owner, you really cannot avoid social media in this marketing age. So rather than ignore it, you need to study it, learn it and participate in it. Once you do, you will find it to be a very enjoyable and beneficial experience! About The Author.

Facebook has more than 850 million users around the world and they use the cloud platform to store everything from family photographs to typed documents. "We put all our lovely photographs - and maybe if we're a professional photographer - we put some really good pictures into Facebook. If you read the fine print, it is owned by Facebook," Malcolm Rabson, Managing Director of Dariel Solutions told News24. In Facebook's terms of service document, the company says that it shares users' intellectual property rights to content on the network. "For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos [IP content], you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP Licence)," says paragraph 1. User information The document adds that these rights lapse when an account is disabled, but given that even disabled accounts can be reactivated months after a user deletes them, it is unclear how long Facebook will keep user information. Users who, for example, write the manuscript for a book on Facebook, may find that the company demands a slice of the royalties if the book is a publishing success. "Should it become a world seller, they are entitled to sue you for copyright infringement," Rabson said. Users don't realise that Facebook is a public platform, regardless of privacy settings, an expert said. "Whatever they say on a social media platform, they must be prepared and able to say with a megaphone to a crowd because that is essentially what you're doing," social media consultant for Afrosocialmedia Samantha Fleming told News24. She said that the social media giant's privacy settings did not mean that content not intended for public view would remain so. "Obviously, Facebook has drawn back a bit in the last couple of years, but the reality is that what you put out there can be seen by anybody," Fleming said. Nude pictures Recently, a US photographer was ordered to post an apology to his ex-wife on his Facebook page after he was found guilty of contravening a protection order. He had posted a note that implied his ex-wife was out to ruin his life and though she was blocked from viewing his Facebook wall, she learnt of the post. South African socialite Khanyi Mbau has been mired in controversy since nude pictures of her were leaked online, reminiscent of the scandal involving New York congressman Anthony Weiner who tweeted a sexually suggestive picture of himself. Rabson said that Facebook could justify its ownership share of intellectual property because it provides a free service to consumers. "They're saying 'We are giving you a service; we are giving you unlimited disk space to keep your photographs and anything like that,' and really, the reason you're putting it there is not for commercial gain." There have not been recorded incidents of Facebook suing over a user's intellectual property, but as people increasingly use Facebook and other platforms to store documents, especially to collaborate with colleagues, it becomes more important that users are aware of laws relating to copyright. "There are a lot of copyright laws around these things that people are not aware of," said Rabson. GET IN TOUCH ### QR codes, hints and areas not to use! One of the greatest things about QR (quick response) codes is that they can be placed anywhere! On advertising billboards, signage, printed material, websites, the sidewalk, buildings, vehicles and virtually any conceivable public space. You are only limited by your imagination, so try to think up novel ways to leverage QR technology in the interests of your brand and connecting a consumer of your product and service with your business. Understand that a QR code is a form of physical hyper-linking and that means in order for it to deliver results it must be scanned in an area that offers wireless connectivity, i.e. mobile sígnal reception.'black spots' , hospitals, auditoriums and halls and airplanes do not have this prerequisite and should be added to the list of places that DO NOT support a QR code campaign.

An interesting article. source: mashable.com 22/2/2012 Eager to monetize the large followings they had built on Facebook, many large brands set up shop on the social network for the first time last year. Now many of those Facebook stores are closing. A Bloomberg report this weekend pointed out that Gap, J.C. Penney, Nordstrom and GameStop have all opened and closed shops on Facebook within the past year — undermining expectations that the social network will become a major revenue driver for retailers over the next decade. “We just didn’t get the return on investment we needed from the Facebook market, so we shut it down pretty quickly,” Ashley Sheetz, VP of marketing and strategy at GameStop, told Bloomberg. “For us, it’s been a way we communicate with customers on deals, not a place to sell.” GameStop opened a store on Facebook in April 2011, and closed it six months later. “There was a lot of anticipation that Facebook would turn into a new destination, a store, a place where people would shop,” Sucharita Mulpuru, an analyst at Forrester Research, added. “But it was like trying to sell stuff to people while they’re hanging out with their friends at the bar.” The End of F-commerce? Still, none of this proves that social networks don’t have potential as sales channels. It may be that retailers simply haven’t harnessed the power of these platforms in the right way. In most cases, retailers have entered the f-commerce market by importing their online catalogs and making them available for purchase in a Facebook app. The experience is nearly identical to shopping on their websites, with two major differences: 1) Shoppers can complete their entire browsing and checkout experience without leaving facebook.com; and 2) the Facebook apps tend to work more slowly. In other words, consumers have little to no incentive to shop via these Facebook apps. Others simply have not dealt in enough volume — offering, say, just one item for purchase each month, or discounting one or two items for a short period. Although these efforts have generated a fair amount of PR buzz, most of these companies are losing money on these efforts because development costs are so high, says Maureen Mullen, director of research and advisory services at luxury research and consulting firm L2. Or the problem may be Facebook’s infrastructure. As Mulpuru says above, spending time on Facebook is akin to spending time with your friends at a bar. Pinterest, on the other hand, is more like heading to a craft fair, Forbes‘s Jeff Bercovici points out — you’re there to browse, and to shop, and brands are finding the platform worth investing in. Facebook, at present, isn’t built for that kind of shopping experience. But it could certainly build Pinterest-like tools to make it that way. At the very least, Facebook has become an important traffic driver to retailers’ websites. For instance, 1.9% of traffic to Burberry’s website in September 2010 came from Facebook; a year later, 29.1% of site traffic was from the social network, Mullen wrote in an email to Mashable. “[Burberry is] using the platform to drive traffic at a fraction of the cost of what it would have to pay on Google and other search engines. In addition a significant portion of that traffic and resulting sales is likely incremental,” she added. Mullen also pointed out that half of shoppers are logged in to Facebook while they shop on third-party ecommerce sites, which lets retailers “capture the massive amount of user data Facebook has,” she says. Brands such as Smashbox and MAC are also incorporating friend recommendations within their ecommerce pages. In other words, it’s too soon to lament the demise of F-commerce. What we do know is that replicating retailers’ ecommerce sites is not the way to go about generating revenue via Facebook, at least for now. GET IN TOUCH ### Where will Social Media head to in 2012?

On a crisp Auckland morning, a group of mums happily discuss everything from baby sleeping wraps, breast-feeding - and bottle-feeding - gripe water and even stretch marks. A total of 13 mums and their babies have gathered at a home near Mt Wellington to catch up and talk about their babies, who are all about to reach the 3-month mark. The women are effectively strangers, having only ever known each other through a Facebook page. However they share a unique connection, in that they all discovered they were pregnant in November 2010. Just over a year on there are now around 50 members all around the country who offer each other advice and support in all aspects of their lives as mothers. Nobody quite remembers the exact name of the Facebook site, but they all refer to it as "the group" and all agree that they would not be able to go on without it. "It's better than Google," one says - to the sounds of united agreement. Another says: "When you're searching for something and you're looking for an answer, you get about five answers." The group has helped answer questions to a myriad of topics and has also seen various items including sleeping wraps, bottles, breast pads and milk storage bags being posted to all parts of the country to a mum who has been low on supplies or house-bound. They are happy to talk about their experiences with the group and how it has helped them. Someone asks: "Remember the gripe water crisis?" Everyone roars with laughter. Carly Edwards, mum to Oliver, pipes up: "Ah, the great gripe water crisis. I was panicking because I couldn't get any. I went to the pharmacy and they said their supplier had stopped making it. "So of course I asked the group and I got one saying, 'I've got half a bottle' and another one saying, 'I've got some too'. "I never would've had access to it if it weren't for the group." Jacqui Cleary, mum to Sofia Grace, has tears in her eyes as she talks about one mum who lost her baby soon after she was born. The group raised $2000 for the grieving family. "It was just so upsetting. Here we all were so happy with our babies and then we got news that we'd lost one of them. It could've been any one of our babies, that's what made it so heart-breaking. She was so beautiful." The group has mums aged between 23 and 40 from all backgrounds. Many point out that being able to connect with someone who is going through exactly what they were going through - or a mum who had been through that - was very comforting. They say they will continue to support each other through Facebook for as long as they can. Sarah Bernhardi, mum to Jack, said the group not only helped mothers in practical terms, it was more important in that it helped mums emotionally. "We've been online to offer support, empathy and humour for the stupid-o'clock feeds when you're exhausted, feeling very alone and wondering if it will ever get better - without a doubt rescuing some of us from the edge of post-natal depression."

Facebook vs google Facebook vs. Google: Who will be Victorious? Written by Site Reference on January 26, 2012 Did you think Facebook would just sit back and allow Google to use its authority however it pleases? Continuing from my last article, Why Google + May Become a Necessity for Internet Marketers, recent news has fanned the flames of an ongoing debate. In the article, I detailed Google’s newest update, Search Plus Your World, and how it personalizes search results for users. Users will see results related to Google+ based on their search behavior. For example, if you follow Britney Spears and Lady Gaga on Google+, you will see related material, images and recommendations based on those musical interests when you search for a related keyword. What has Facebook and Twitter wanting to revolt? Users are given recommendations of Google+ profiles only. These profiles show up on the right side of the page (usually 2-3 profiles per search) under the “People and Pages on Google+” box. For example, if you type in the word “chef” like I did in the image to the right, you would see the Google+ profiles of some of the top cooks or restaurants on Google+. But, you will never see a Facebook or Twitter profile listed in that same location, even if these profiles enjoy more fans/followers and engagement than Google+ profiles. Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and friends were not happy with this update, especially since social results from ALL networks already appear in the normal search results. Why wouldn’t Google just use the same data to post the top engagers in the “People and Pages on Google+” box regardless of whether they are on Google+, Facebook or Twitter? The social media websites answered back and created the “Don’t Be Evil” bookmarklet which can be found on their new website, Focus on the User. Facebook and Twitter engineers consulted with some other social media companies and together they created this snippet of code. What does it do? Let’s take a look at the real world example first. After installing this bookmarklet in my Chrome browser, I performed the same search for the word “chef” and the results look like this… Do you notice what is different? Though the people in the “People and Pages on Google +” box are the same in both instances, the social media profiles are different. With the “Don’t be Evil” bookmarklet, the results are now being extracted from Google’s top 10 results rather just Google+ profiles. Also the box has been renamed to “People and Pages from the Social Web”. When you install this bookmarklet, you attach it to your bookmarks menu and whenever you click on it, you will see the updated results. Also, did you notice the change to the Google logo? Looks like Facebook is trying to make a serious point. The “Don’t Be Evil” bookmarklet is not stealing any API data from Google. It simply uses the results Google already deems worthy to hit page 1 of its engine and replaces Google’s results. The tool is meant to give users the most relevant results on the web regardless of Google bias. The bookmarklet also addresses the other search functions that show Google bias like in the automatic dropdown menu and for brand name searches. With the “Search Plus Your World” function on, when users type in a brand name like “Target”, they will see the Google+ profiles under the brand name website with no mention of Twitter or Facebook. With the “Don’t Be Evil” bookmarklet, the results are returned to normal with the most relevant results displaying first. Is Facebook done waging its war against Google? Only time will tell. What we do know is that the social media companies are arguing that this new Google update contradicts the environment Google has been promoting for years: a relevant user experience. The social media war is in full force…who will be the victor? With conglomerates such as Facebook, Twitter and the “almighty” Google, it’s anyone’s game. ### Facebook as a complement to your business web site? Facebook as a Complement to a Business Web Site Making the most effective use of social media for business purposes is a subject in itself and one that has had an exponential uptake.

Make sure the articles you choose to upload are relevant to your site's content and provide helpful information. If you have some of the same articles as another site, the most relevant quality site will be higher in the rankings so the duplicate content itself, will not lower your rankings. Keep your site current and add new content on a regular basis. Create a Blog and Become a Blogger - If you haven't already done so, you need to add a blog to your business website. Blogging is a highly efficient way to raise your ranking in Google because a blog does two things. 1. It can add many pages of keyword targeted yet relevant, quality content to your site which will be noticed by Google. The more quality pages indexed, the more chances you have to be on page one. And 2. A blog can boost the number of quality inbound links to your content online. 6. Relevant Inbound Links - Quality inbound links are a great way to add relevance and importance to your site. Guest posting on high quality blogs is one of the best ways to accomplish this task. Commenting on existing blog comments works well also. Always use keyword rich posts with appropriate sites and use relevant keywords for your links. Google does not value links from article banks as much as they used Social Media - As with many aspects of internet marketing or online branding, social media plays a big part in SEO. Be active on your social sites. Do not let them go stale. There is nothing worse than a Facebook page with a last update of Jan 2011. Engage in conversations, post new info regularly and involve your visitors. GET IN TOUCH ### What is a QR Code? A QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) first designed for the automotive industry. More recently, the system has become popular outside of the industry. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can then be scanned by a Code Reader installed as a FREE app on a smartphone e.g iphone. Originally created by Toyota subsidiary Debsi Wave in 1994 to track vehicles during the manufacturing process, the QR code is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes. It was designed to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed hence its fast uptake by businesses. The technology has seen frequent use in the United States; however QR usage is growing fastest around the globe. How to read a QR code? 1. Install a Barcode Scanner app on your smart phone. i.e download a QR Reader 2. Once installed, open the app on your smart phone and point your phone / camera towards the QR code. 3. The scanning application will then interpret the QR code and reveal its contents. For example, a URL, a website, an email contact, contact details. The uses of QR codes are far reaching.

GET IN TOUCH ### The Ultimate SEO Hack: Boost Your Website's Ranking - What's the first step in SEO Your online branding / marketing All starts with keyword research. This not only involves knowing your niche but also knowing the keywords that people use to search for your niche specific products or services. One great way to establish if there is relevant traffic for a particular keyword, before optimizing your site, is to conduct some level of keyword research. Without this vital component or first step of SEO you have not created a solid platform for your online branding. But so often we are asked to share the unlocking of the ultimate SEO Hack.  Well there is some good news and some ... Unlocking the Ultimate SEO Hack: Tips for Improved Visibility and Traffic. SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is the process of optimising your website to rank higher in search engine results pages (SERPs). A high-ranking website can bring in more traffic, leads, and revenue. However, achieving a high ranking is not an easy task, and it takes time, effort, and consistent optimization. If you are looking for the ultimate SEO hack, you may be disappointed to know that there is no single magic formula that can guarantee success. SEO is a complex and ever-changing field, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. However, there are certain strategies and best practices that can help you improve your website's ranking and visibility. In this Net Branding blog post, we will explore some of the most effective SEO hacks that you can use to improve your website's ranking and get more traffic. Conduct Keyword Research Keyword research is the foundation of any successful SEO strategy. It involves identifying the keywords and phrases that your target audience or potential customer uses to search for products or services like yours. By incorporating these keywords into your website's content, you can improve your visibility in search results. To conduct your own keyword research, you can use tools like Google Keyword Planner, or others. These SEO handy tools will show you the search volume, competition, and difficulty level of different keywords. You should target keywords that have a high search volume and low competition, as they are easier to rank for. Optimise Your Website's Content Once you have identified your target keywords, you need to optimise your website's content to include them. This includes your page titles, meta descriptions, headers, and body content. However, you should not stuff your content with keywords as this can be considered spammy and can hurt your ranking. Your content should be high-quality, informative, and relevant to your target market (often called target audience in digital speak). You should also make sure that it is optimised for user experience, as this can impact your ranking. So, what is user experience? User experience includes having a fast-loading speed, a mobile-friendly design, and easy website navigation. Build High-Quality Backlinks Backlinks are links from other websites to your website. They are an important ranking factor in SEO, as they show search engines that other websites consider your content to be valuable and relevant. However, not all backlinks are created equal. You should focus on building high-quality backlinks from authoritative websites in your industry. These are websites that have high domain authority, a large following, and relevant content. You can build backlinks by creating high-quality content, guest posting on other websites, or participating in relevant industry forums and local communities. Use Local SEO If you have a local business, you should focus on using local SEO to improve your visibility in local search results. This involves optimising your website for local keywords, creating a business Google My Business profile, and building local citations. Our two tips for local SEO include. Local citations are mentions of your business's name, address, and phone number (NAP) on other websites. These can include local directories, review sites, and social media platforms. You should ensure that your NAP is consistent across all of these citations, as this can impact your local ranking. Monitor Your Analytics – preferably GA 4 (Article updated in 2023) SEO is not a one-time task, and it requires constant monitoring and optimisation. You should use tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console to track your website's performance and identify areas for improvement. Analytics can show you how many visitors your website is getting, where they are coming from, and which pages they are visiting. This information can help you identify which keywords are driving the most traffic, which pages need improvement, and which strategies are working best for you. SEO Hacks - A myth or not? In conclusion, SEO is a complex and ever-changing field, but these five strategies can help you improve your website's ranking and visibility. By conducting keyword research, optimising your content, building high-quality backlinks, using local SEO, and monitoring your analytics, you can create a comprehensive and effective SEO strategy that drives more traffic to your website and helps your business grow. However, it's important to note that SEO is not a one-time task and requires ongoing optimisation and monitoring. Keep testing and refining your strategy as you go to ensure that you are getting the best results possible. By following these ultimate SEO hacks and staying up-to-date with the latest trends and techniques, you can give your website a competitive edge and achieve long-term success in search rankings.

GET IN TOUCH ### New Facebook app lets dead live on This story first appeared as a post on mashable.com. Facebook profiles don't die the same way people do. If I Die is a Facebook app that makes sure, even if you die, your social self can still send out your last wishes and post messages to your friends years after you're gone. If I Die lets "you" post a final message to your wall and loved one when you're dead. After installing the app, you choose three "trustees" (Facebook friends) who are charged with verifying your death. Users can then record videos or craft any number of Facebook posts to be published posthumously. When your trustees confirm your death, your messages can be published all at once to your Facebook wall or released on a designated schedule. It might be a little morbid to start recording farewell messages, but Wilook, the Israel-based company behind the app, built the app because nobody really knows when death will come: "We all have things to say and don't necessarily have the audience with the patience to hear us," says Eran Alfonta, the app's co-founder and CEO. "Actually we all want to leave something behind, we all want to leave a stamp behind us." Alfonta got the idea when two of his married friends travelled to Italy without their children and narrowly escaped a fatal car crash with a truck. "They stopped aside and drank water and relaxed and started speaking between themselves: 'Oh my god, what would happen to the kids if something happened to me?'" They asked Alfonta to create a website where they could record something secret to their kids that would only be sent if they died. It also allows messages to come out on a schedule. For example, when one user was diagnosed with cancer, she started recording videos for her daughter to be posted on her birthday every year until she was 18. In a way, If I Die gives its users a measure of social media immortality. Even when they die, their profiles can live on, posting comments and sending personal messages for as long as they have messages to send. If I Die currently only publishes to a user's public profile, but the team is working on features to allow for discrete messages and even messages that can be sent to people not on Facebook. The public postings will be free to use, though the discrete messages will work on an annual subscription model, Alfonta says. While the team is tight-lipped on how many users it has, Alfonta said they expected to hit 100,000 users within a couple of months. Death is clearly on our social minds and Alfonta is no exception. "Oh my god, yes," he says, when asked if he's used If I Die to record his own parting messages. "I have four kids and a lovely wife and I left each one of them a message. I hope to live long and prosper but if something happens to me then I think there will be some excellent surprises for my kids, some touching messages." Would you record a message? Do you want your profile posting messages on your behalf - even after you die? - Mashable.com GET IN TOUCH ### Can you afford to ignore Facebook for your business?

Brands are (inadvertently) ignoring over half their fans' social media posts! But, when fans do get a response to their posts, 80% of them went on to make a purchase as a result of the interaction. Amazing!! Check out this awesome infographic shared on Simply Zesty (created by Mr Youth). "When brands respond, consumers are elated--feeling valued and important!" (So true, people really want to feel heard and acknowledged). What systems do you/your clients have in place to ensure you don't miss fan posts? By: Mari Smith ### Facebook for Business - can you afford to ignore it? Facebook cannot be ignored.... it is now rivaling Google in terms of exposure on the internet.

With those kinds of numbers and that kind of exposure, you cannot afford to let this new opportunity for business pass you and your company by. Having a Facebook page is a little like having a specialized email account that reaches direct to those people that have joined your Facebook page by becoming "FANS". The more fans you have, the bigger the base of your "social" exposure. In order to create a professional Facebook presence chat to Net Branding and find out how.

It stands to reason that some New Zealand businesses are still not sure that there is actually business value in social media. Yet many businesses are highlighting social media as a must do for 2012. Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, YouTube, Blogs the list is endless..... Business, irrespective of your industry, needs to realize that social media is not about your specific website. It is about reaching, expanding your reach and connecting with current or potential consumers of your service or product in a way that emphasizes your relationships. So where is the return on investment you may ask? Well, perhaps one should question the use of the telephone in this argument. Where is your return of investment when you pay the telephone bill? Ahh you may say – this is a tool of my business. Yes it is. The telephone is there because it is a vital piece of technology that adds value time and time over through repeated calls and conversations. Social media should be viewed in a similar light. What about the affordability of investing in social media (time and cost). Well, perhaps another question could be – Can I afford to actually live without it? It may even save me money in the long term. How? Businesses participate in activities, making cold calls, travelling to meetings and trade shows, attending networking events, and many other activities that carry a cost but are important in your marketing endeavours. Social media however gives people the ability to conduct these activities from their office which may mean that when they do travel to a client the results will be better. This client has already screened you within the realm of the internet and has developed an impression. But what about privacy issues in social media. Perhaps your competition will see too much about your organization. Yes, you may expose them to some information but they would probably be aware of this information via your normal marketing methods already. Social media is a way for you to get your own message out into the marketplace. It is another means of marketing but in this scenario, you control your message. Remember just about any type of business can use social media but herein lies the importance of creating media policy for employees. Social media has changed the way we do things, the way consumers behave and interact with business and brands. In some cases consumers expect you to have a social media presence. In review of the above, I think we should answer our initial question. Is social media a fad or a business tool? To embark on yor 2012 Social Media Journey give the team at Net Branding a call. GET IN TOUCH ### Social Media - Your Business and 2012 Social Media has become the new Word of Mouth of the community. There has never been a better time for businesses to set up and take advantage of this social media opportunity. Look at some of the facts:- There are over 2 million Social Media users inNew Zealand. Facebook is the top social media website inNew Zealand. 54% of Facebook users visit the site at least daily. A Facebook fan is more likely than others to buy from you. The potential of social media for your business is huge. 2011 is coming to an end, 2012 is only days away…. We can tell you for a fact that if you do the same kind of marketing/selling/advertising etc. as you have previous years, then be prepared for your competition, who decides to get into the social media arena, to take a bigger share of your market.. But how do you hire a Local SEO Firm or Branding Company: Focus on small / midsize companies – whilst larger companies may look impressive, working with a smaller SEO and Social Media Company means you are more likely to work directly with the experienced team members and strategists who can customize your social marketing campaign around your business and objectives. Be aware of the sales rep – their job is to bring in new clients. There is no “magic” solutions. Building an online brand is a journey not a destination. Be aware of anyone who pretends to have a “magic pill” or wants to lock you into a “low price monthly fee”. The best SEO and Social Media firm is one that is recommended to you by an acquaintance or colleague. To discuss your Social Media and online presence with a company who is able to provide affordable social media solutions for your business then give Net Branding a call. We are also able to discuss the Social Outbreak – Your Total Social Media Agency and how this application and associated training material could fit into your overall online / media strategy. ### Protect your domain? New .xxx suffix too tempting to ignore IAN STEWARD An adults-only, racy Trade Me? New Zealand companies are scrambling to buy up the new .xxx pornography version of their internet addresses, but not to create X-rated versions of their sites. The new .xxx suffix for websites officially went on sale on Tuesday, aiming to create a home for the internet's vast store of pornography, which is currently available on .com and .net websites. New Zealand companies have been quick to act, with such brands as trademe.xxx and allblacks.xxx already taken. The rationale is not to use the new addresses, but to prevent others from using them and besmirching their good names. New Zealand Rugby Union public affairs general manager Nick Brown confirmed the union had purchased the allblacks.xxx name. "We think that purchasing this domain is a sensible way to protect the integrity of our brand." Air New Zealand said it bought its .xxx domain as "standard practice" to protect the company brand. Trade Me spokesman Paul Ford said they had used a "protection mechanism" to block trademe.xxx from being registered. He said there was a "general desire" not to have Trade Me associated with the xxx domain, but they also wanted to protect people from fraud. "We don't want scammers and other nefarious types using the Trade Me name to host a dodgy site in Nigeria or Romania." Mystery surrounds the address bnz.xxx. Someone has reserved the domain but a spokeswoman from the bank said it wasn't the BNZ. For those with the desire to set up their own adult site, all is not lost – among those still available for registration are tvnz.xxx, radionz.xxx, and nzpolice.xxx. - Sunday Star Times GET IN TOUCH ### Some tips from Social Media Company - Net Branding for business success on LinkedIn Tips for Business Success on LinkedIn 1.

There are some clear signals  around the importance of Twitter in terms of  the current Search Engine Algorithms, Author Authority and Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) benefits. Twitter | Online Branding and SEO Social Signals Both Google and Bing have admitted that social media signals are being incorporated into the search algorithm as a ranking factor. So how does Twitter play into this? Content shared on Twitter can be indexed by the search engines and actually rank in the search results. The more time a piece of content is tweeted and re-tweeted, the more important it becomes in the eyes of the search engines. Author Authority Author authority is why it is important to take the time to actually build a Twitter profile and connect with real, human users. The search engines don’t just look at how many times your content is being Tweeted, but who is doing the Tweeting! How long has that person been active on Twitter? Who are their followers? What kind of content do they usually share? Brand Awareness If you think the only goal of SEO is to rank number one, you’re missing the bigger picture. Of course you want to rank well.  You want to build your inbound marketing funnel.  But SEO is also designed to increase your overall online presence and brand awareness so your target audience can more easily find you. Twitter is a great way to increase your brand awareness. It allows you to connect with your customers in a new and personalized way. When someone Tweets about your brand/products, they are broadcasting your message to their social network as well, increasing your reach. Twitter is a great way to increase your brand awareness.

Each night more and more viewers are turning on the TV, then jumping on their laptop, tablet, or smartphone and chatting about the show on social networks.Since TV operators have started to capitalising on the natural social buzz, the competion between Facebook and Twitter to be the go-to solution for TV has started in earnest. However, the two networks differ fundamentally in their core TV offering.  The difference stems from the reasons why people log into Twitter and Facebook:  People go to Twitter to see what’s trending now.  They want to see what their followers are up to, but the focus is on common interests over real-world relationships. On the other hand, users log into Facebook to see what their friends are doing. The network focuses on personal relationships that may or may not include common interests. This means that each social network can offer a unique approach to TV. Facebook and TV: Tapping into the Personal Social Graph Facebook’s main benefit comes from its extensive reach (600 million active users), and the sheer mass of data available.  Through the Facebook API, operators can build apps and interactive experiences around TV shows. Facebook boasts a huge social graph: the average user has 130 friends that they have specifically chosen to stay in touch with.  This means if a user’s friend has talked about a TV show recently, they would like to hear about it. Even if just one friend mentions the show, the comment is relevant because of the personal relationship. Facebook recently announced that there are 1.65 billion TV show ‘likes’ so far. However,most Facebook users have tailored privacy setting in place – so not everyone’s data is available publically. This makes it difficult to tap into real-time trends, an area where Twitter excels. Twitter and TV: Accessing Real-time Trends Twitter has a strong offering for TV because it provides large quantities of public, real-time statistics. Few users on Twitter hide their data and all tweets are meant for public consumption, making it much easier to tap into the zeitgeist. This makes it much simpler to measure engagement with a particular show in real-time. TV operators can use Twitter data to interact with viewers, and get minute-by-minute feedback on what is and isn’t resonating with their audience. Because people log into Facebook and Twitter with different goals in mind, different social TV offerings can be designed around each platform.  While Facebook is suited to TV experiences that involve your friends and chosen brands, Twitter is better for promoting real-time TV trends that people want to discuss with the world in general. Over the next year, expect to see the face of TV changing: it’s not just about sitting back and watching blankly anymore.

It stands to reason that Facebook will be a major factor in that social presence.  In addition, blogs reach 3 out of 4 internet user.

Just because a certain keyword gets a certain amount of search volume each month does not guarantee that you will receive that targeted internet traffic. Which of your keywords are performing as you expected them to? Which keywords are underperforming? Are you seeing any trends that indicate new keywords (ones you didn’t purposefully target) are delivering a internet traffic to your site? Search behavior evolves over time, which means keywords that worked well in 2011 might necessarily have the same result 2012.

Contact us   GET IN TOUCH ### Logos and Branding over the internet Yesterday I met with Angela Murray of RedSpark Creative Limited in order to discuss the branding of organizations over the internet and within social media tools. We wanted to share the following branding tip with you.  Should you be in the process of redefining or creating a logo for your business most decision makers usually opt for a rectangular / horizontal type logo. However when branding on the internet some social media tools such as twitter require a square logo / file for uploading.  It is important that this aspect is kept in mind to ensure a constant look and feel across multiple platforms (print, media, internet). Cathy Mellett Net Branding – taking the fear out of social media. ### What is a Blog? A FAQ..... A blog is an informal internet presence that is usually arranged in chronological order from the most recent ‘post’ (or entry) at the top of the main page to the older entries towards the bottom. It is your businesses “soul” and allows you to incorporate your community, local events and other articles of interest that support your brand or industry. This content is not necessary content that you would place on your companies formal website. Whilst a website is typically your formal service offering and your “brochure” to the world, a blog becomes your voice. However one of the greatest advantages of a blog is that search engines love to see multiple sources of content on the internet linking back to your website. Blogs are an excellent way to achieve this and can boost your website rankings - the ultimate goal of Social Media. Examples of blogs www.whatisstyle.co.nz www.newzealandaccounting.co.nz www.zenbeauty.co.nz www.theskin.co.nz www.propertiesrental.co.nz www.modernartgallery.co.nz www.yourback.co.nz www.aucklandlawfirm.co.nz www.remueraepsomproperties.co.nz www.yourfeet.co.nz For more information please contact Net Branding ### Client Recommendation for Cathy from Net Branding from Concept 10 10 "Cathy Mellett did an amazing job on bringing all our Social Media together. Now I do one blog post and it gets published in all these places at once. She also went through great depth to find something that  fit within our business rules as a franchise. My internet awareness has picked up from 0 - 100% and already people are mentioning my website as a reference. (The didn't before Net Branding came along) Cathy walked the extra mile...without us asking" - Melissa Smit. Service Category: Graphic/Web Designer Year first hired: 2011 Top Qualities: Great Results, Good Value, High Integrity ### Good Old Fashion advice for SEO There are many Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) techniques available but perhaps the golden rule is to make your website the best it can be for search engines and your site visitors. There are SEO techniques that do work however the option that has stood the test of any google algoritm change is quality content. Content that reflects your business’s core focus. Net Branding – Taking the fear out of Social Media ### TWITTER Account Snatchers at large - Please be careful I've received numerous messages today from clients regarding strange emails that they are receiving from twitter.  Some are derogatory or refer to a blog post or picture of you that is untrue, scandalous or provided "laughable" material. THIS IS A SCAM to get you to click on the link.  The link then takes you to an account that mimics the Twitter account and looks like the real thing.  The only hint that it is not is the URL (see top of screen).  You will see that it is not twitter.com but a misspelt version of twitter. PLEASE DO NOT ENTER YOUR USER NAME AND PASSWORD.  Once you do, they then utilise your account to send similiar messages to your friends. Remedy: If your account has been hacked.  Go to twitter.com and reset your password however if you have automated links between various profiles please notify your service provider so that they are able to make the required changes.

Is it possible that Facebook is tracking your web browsing activity, even when you are logged out? Is privacy a lost cause because of social networking. According to writer Nik Cubrilovic, Facebook may know that you are reading a website based on the Facebook share button on that site. Facebook only appear to be altering the state of the cookies instead of removing all of them when a user logs out of Facebook. This means that if you then surf to a page online that has a Facebook share button, or any other Facebook related widget, all relevant information (including your User ID) is then sent to Facebook. This information provides Facebook with real information on where you are going on the internet. ZDNET has obtained a response from Facebook in relation to this and they explicitly state that Facebook does not track users' web activity. They also explain the purpose of logged out cookies - Facebook does not track users across the web. Instead, we use cookies on social plugins to personalize content (e.g. Show you what your friends liked), to help maintain and improve what we do (e.g. Measure click-through rate), or for safety and security (e.g. Keeping underage kids from trying to signup with a different age). No information we receive when you see a social plugins is used to target ads, we delete or anonymize this information within 90 days, and we never sell your information. So what are your thoughts – are your worried about your privacy on Facebook? GET IN TOUCH ### What is the difference between SEO and SEM? SEO and SEM are two very different actions although both fit within the category of Internet Branding or Net Branding. SEO involves actions such as link building, social media marketing and article marketing that really should not cost you much other than for the services of a professional in this area whether this be a PR / writer to create well written content for your organisation to release or for a Social Media Professional to conduct the SEO on your behalf. SEO requires a time commitment to achieve results. On the other hand SEM or Search Engine Marketing typically involves paid marketing. This includes Pay Per Click (PPC) marketing and usually delivers faster results in the short term allowing you to build up your SEO over the medium to longer term. A conscious decision aligning your social media objectives to your planned actions / available budget will assist in making the decision as to whether SEO or SEM will be better suited to your organisation.

I am often asked the question – how do I start finding fans for my Facebook business page? Starting your social media journey on Facebook can sometimes be a little daunting. I hope that these few pointers included below can assist you to grow your business internet profile and branding. As you commence your journey on Facebook - what other things can you do to bring awareness to your Facebook Business Page Add a Facebook “like” box to your website or blog. Included a Facebook icon linking to your Facebook page on your signature template. Click on “invite Friends” link to invite current Facebook friends to “like” your business page. Remember to consider the timing of this invite as most people are generally online in the late afternoon or evenings. Offer an incentive to your customers to “like” your page. Join any relevant groups and share information. Once underway, how do you continue to expand your Facebook Business Page Fan Base? Keep an eye on your existing fans to assess when most of them post to your page. This may provide a guideline to you for the timing of releases/update posts to your Facebook Business Page Wall. Use Facebook Insights to give you an idea of your Facebook page analytics Always respond to comments thereby encouraging interaction with your existing Fan Base. Refrain from any political, religious, or contentious topics unless these relate directly to your brand or brand message. Whilst posting to your Facebook page is mandatory, too many daily posts can create a negative perception and result in you losing Facebook Fans. Ask your Fans for any ideas on what they want to hear about or see you posting information on. For more information regarding your social marketing and media profiles.

Search Engine ranking for the right search phrases or keywords can make or break your website. By researching your market's keyword demand, you can not only learn which terms and phrases to target with SEO, but also learn more about your customers as a whole. By researching your target market's keyword demand, you can not only learn which terms and phrases to target with SEO, but you can also learn a lot more about your customers. Ensure you are targeting the correct keywords for your business Make no assumptions about what you believe are the correct keywords for your business. Understand your keywords and why you have selected those specific words. Review your online keywords regularly. The importance of keywords as your foundation or building blocks on which you create your online presence. Is the keyword identified relevant to your website's content? Will internet searchers find what they are looking for on your website when they search using this keyword? Will they be happy with what they find when they land on your site? Will this search traffic result in financial rewards or other organizational goals? If the answer to all of these questions is "Yes!" then proceed ... So let's review some important keyword types. Keywords are the foundation of any successful SEO strategy. They help businesses attract the right audience and drive more conversions. In this article, we'll discuss the importance of keywords and explore three crucial aspects to consider when selecting them: buyer intention, converting keywords, and negative keywords. Buyer Intention When selecting keywords, it's crucial to understand the intent behind each search. For instance, someone searching for "running shoes" may have a different intention than someone searching for "best running shoes for marathon training." By understanding buyer intention, businesses can create targeted content and optimize their website to better match the searcher's intent, leading to higher conversion rates. Converting Keywords Identifying converting keywords is essential for driving sales and maximizing ROI. These are the keywords that are most likely to lead to a sale or conversion. For instance, if a business is selling shoes, it may find that "buy shoes online" or "shoe discounts" are converting keywords. By identifying these high-performing keywords, businesses can prioritize their efforts and optimize their website accordingly to drive more sales. Negative Keywords While identifying the right keywords is crucial, it's also essential to consider negative keywords. These are the keywords that are related to a business's offerings but are not relevant to their target audience. For example, if a business sells running shoes, they may want to add negative keywords such as "women's dress shoes" or "men's sandals." This ensures that their ads are not shown to people who are not interested in their offerings, reducing irrelevant clicks and wasted ad spend. Optimising Keywords for SEO To optimise keywords for search engines, businesses should focus on creating high-quality content that targets their desired audience. This includes incorporating their target keywords into the content naturally, without overstuffing or keyword stuffing. They should also use meta descriptions and title tags that include their target keywords to help search engines better understand the content of their website. In addition, businesses should consider using long-tail keywords, which are longer and more specific phrases that are less competitive than broader keywords. These phrases are more likely to attract qualified traffic and lead to higher conversion rates. Selecting the right keywords is crucial for any business looking to drive traffic and increase conversions. In conclusion, selecting the right keywords is crucial for any business looking to drive traffic and increase conversions. By understanding buyer intention, identifying converting keywords, and incorporating negative keywords, businesses can optimize their website and marketing efforts to attract the right audience and drive more sales. By incorporating these strategies into their SEO efforts, businesses can improve their search engine rankings and attract more qualified leads.

Be Seen, Be Heard, Be Found Online with Net Branding As we wrap up this article, it's important to note that the importance of keywords remains a fundamental aspect of any successful SEO strategy, even years after this blog was written (2011). As the digital landscape continues to evolve, it's crucial for businesses to keep up with the latest trends and best practices in order to stay competitive and reach their target audience. However, the basic framework of SEO and an SEO strategy does not change. Tools upgrade, there is more hoopla around certain important elements but as my grandma used to say - Stick with the tried and tested, and you can't go wrong.

Whether you're looking to improve your search engine rankings, drive more traffic to your website, or increase conversions, we have the expertise and knowledge to help you achieve your goals.

Everyone over the age of 18 years should have a will. This will ensure that your assets will be bequeathed to those persons or entities whom you wish to benefit from your estate. Dying without a will is known as dying intestate. However have you considered what would happen to your online profile should you pass away. At Quay Law we recommend that New Zealanders making a will should consider what will happen to the information stored about them on the internet. Relatives may want to be able to access information stored within your various accounts be this emails, photos, facebook, linkedin, twitter, youtube, gmail, ymail or any of the many forums in cyberspace. Login details and passwords are not always accessible and therefore unauthorized access to these mediums could be denied. We recommend that your will should include your intentions with regards to your online profile in an up-to-date will. Consideration regarding an online profile should not only be considered for persons but businesses should consider actions to be taken in terms of their online profile as part of their succession planning document. Cathy Mellett of Auckland firm Net Branding believes this will become critical as more businesses target the web to build their online profile. For more information regarding your will, please contact Auckland law firm Quay Law. ## Pages ### Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO): The Future of SEO for AI with Net Branding Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO): The Future of SEO for AI with Net BrandingSearch has changed. People no longer scroll through pages of results. They ask questions, and AI answers. That shift is shaping how brands are found online. At Net Branding, we have watched every wave of change since 2008. What started as a Kiwi founded agency helping local businesses be seen has grown into a global digital team working with companies across New Zealand, the UK, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and the US. Whether you are small, growing or established, the challenge is the same. Being part of the answer, not lost in the noise. What Is Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO)?AEO helps AI understand your content clearly enough to quote or reference it when someone asks a question. It is the next step after SEO. Less about chasing rankings and more about being recognised as a trusted source. That requires clear writing, organised information, and consistency everywhere your brand appears online. AI tools rely on that clarity to know who you are and when to recommend you. At Net Branding, we combine technical structure with human storytelling so your business sounds credible to both people and machines. Name (required) Email (required) Company Phone (required) Website URL (required) Would you like to Claim your FREE site auditYesNo Message (required) I agree to the Privacy Policy × Is AEO Just SEO for AI?Not quite. Traditional SEO targets search engines. AEO focuses on AI systems that generate and summarise answers. SEO values backlinks and rankings. AEO values meaning, relationships, and reputation. When AI understands your expertise, you are more likely to appear in its responses. Net Branding bridges the two worlds, keeping your existing SEO strong while preparing your business for visibility in AI driven search. Why AEO Matters Right NowPeople are already using AI tools to find information. They ask, and they trust the first answer that feels right. That answer could be yours, or your competitor’s. We have seen clients move ahead simply by adapting early. One New Zealand retailer now appears in Google’s AI summaries. Another professional services firm is being referenced by AI chat tools. These are not lucky breaks. They come from clear, reliable information that machines can trust. How AI Search Is Changing VisibilityGoogle’s Search Generative Experience, known as SGE, scans online data and builds instant summaries. It does not just look for keywords. It looks for confidence, accuracy, and clear identity. So what helps? Consistent business details everywhere Straightforward and factual writing Verified sources and proof of real experience Net Branding focuses on those foundations so that when AI analyses your site, it sees clarity and reliability, not confusion. AEO vs SEO At a Glance Aspect SEO AEO Goal Rank on search pages Be used in AI answers Focus Keywords and backlinks Meaning and entities Audience Search algorithms AI systems such as ChatGPT and SGE Measurement Traffic and rankings Mentions and visibility in answers Content Style Optimised for crawlers Conversational, factual, structured What Builds Strong AEO ResultsThere is no secret formula, but a few habits stand out. Clarity – Write for people. If humans find it easy, AI will too. Structure – Use headings, lists, and FAQs so content reads cleanly. Consistency – Keep your business name, address, and tone aligned across all platforms. Credibility – Show your experience and back up claims with facts. Transparency – Avoid jargon. Straight talk earns trust. Net Branding’s job is to bring these together so you stay visible wherever and however people search. AEO in Action What We See at Net BrandingEvery major digital change shifts how people find information. We have moved from web listings to social, to voice, and now to AI generated results. A client once told us, “We did not change much. You just made our story easier for AI to recognise.” That is exactly it. We refine the structure, tone, and accuracy so your existing work gets noticed by new technology. Experience counts here. We have been testing, adapting, and measuring since long before AI summaries arrived, and that is what gives our clients an edge. From Local to GlobalWe are proud of our New Zealand roots but we work globally. Different markets search differently, and every AI model interprets data in its own way. For smaller businesses, we make AEO practical and achievable. For larger ones, we manage multi region visibility and unified brand consistency. Either way, we focus on what matters. Making sure your name appears when people ask. Ready to See Where You Stand?Wondering whether your business shows up in AI search answers? Let’s find out. A quick visibility review with Net Branding can reveal where your content stands today and what is holding it back. Contact us to start the conversation. Be Seen. Be Heard. Be Found Online. FAQsWhat is the difference between SEO and AEO? SEO gets you ranked on Google pages. AEO helps AI systems understand and reuse your information in answers. Can smaller businesses benefit? Yes. Clear, consistent, and genuine information helps even the smallest local brand appear in AI results. How do I know if I appear in AI answers? Ask AI tools the same questions your customers do. If you are not mentioned, there is work to do. Is this a one off project? No. AI tools evolve all the time. Staying visible means reviewing and updating content regularly. That is something we manage for our clients. Does Net Branding work internationally? We do. From New Zealand to the UK, Europe, and beyond, we help brands strengthen their digital presence in AI search. Written by Cathy MellettFounder and Digital Strategist, Net Branding Be Seen. Be Heard.

What’s real and how you can act AI adoption in New Zealand in 2025. What’s real and how you can actNew Zealand has moved from dabbling to doing. Use this guide to see where the country sits today, what’s working, where teams get stuck, and how you can get results in 90 days without creating risk. Snapshot. Where NZ is right nowTable 1. NZ AI adoption at a glance Metric 2025 position Organisations using AI 87% Positive operational impact 88% Organisation-wide scale 12% Policy stance Focus on adoption and safe use Common blockers Skills, data, governance, shadow AI These figures come from the 2025 State of AI Index by Datacom. The study shows strong momentum, real gains, and a scale gap that still needs work. (Datacom) MBIE’s new AI Strategy backs adoption over building foundational models. That matches our size and the skills on the ground. It also sets a clearer path for business and the public sector. (MBIE) The public service has updated GenAI guidance with simple, reusable guardrails. You can borrow a lot of it in private sector settings. It covers governance, security, procurement, skills, transparency and bias. (New Zealand Digital government) Your browser does not support the video tag. Name (required) Email (required) Company Phone (required) Website URL (required) Would you like to Claim your FREE site auditYesNo Message (required) I agree to the Privacy Policy × What this means for you Adoption is high. Impact is positive. Scaling still lags. Plan for that. (Datacom) Government policy signals “apply AI where it lifts productivity”. That is a green light to move. (MBIE) Guidance exists. You do not need to invent your own rules from scratch. (New Zealand Digital government) I think that is good news. It lets you start now, with focus. The barriers you cannot ignore Skills and literacy. Teams need role-based training and practical prompts, not theory. (Datacom) Data quality and integration. If inputs are messy, outputs will be messy. Datacom calls this out often. (Datacom) Shadow AI. People already use tools without approval. Set boundaries and enable safer options. (Datacom) Public guidance repeats the same risks and adds basics like human oversight and logging. Use it. (New Zealand Digital government) Quick-win use cases NZ teams actually deployStart where risk is low and time saved is clear. Operations and admin. Meeting notes, document drafts, form triage, ticket replies, invoice data capture. Customer-facing. Guided answers from approved content, product Q&A, tone-checked email replies. Analytics and reporting. Weekly reports, anomaly flags, “ask your data” over trusted sources. Local reports keep finding strong efficiency gains from these tasks as the first wave. The AI Forum’s 2025 work highlights high reported gains with modest setup effort. (AI Forum) Governance, risk and Māori dataKeep it light to start, but visible. Approved tools list with minimum settings No sensitive data in public tools Human review for anything external Log prompts, sources and outputs Simple risk tiers with actions These align with public sector guidance. They are fast to roll out. (New Zealand Digital government) If your work touches Māori language data or community datasets, address data sovereignty up front. Te Hiku Media’s kaitiakitanga approach is a useful model. Consent, control and shared benefit matter if you want trust and real access. (NVIDIA Blog) Skills and change. Build literacy fastDo not try to upskill everyone the same way. Train champions in each team. Give them prompts, policies and “what good looks like”. Run short sessions by role. Twenty to thirty minutes is fine to start. Create a prompt library. Keep examples that match your brand and your data. Digital.govt guidance also points to skills, accountability and testing. It is written for agencies but it is plain English and reusable. (New Zealand Digital government) Pilot readiness checklist Step Owner Output Use case canvas Product owner Problem, users, KPI set Data check Data owner Access and quality signed off Guardrails Risk lead Red flags documented Success review Sponsor Go or stop decision recorded Move to stage 2 when one workflow shows a measurable gain inside 60 days. Not perfect, just real. Budgets, ROI and the business caseYou do not need a big build to see value. Many NZ organisations are spinning up useful solutions with off-the-shelf tools and targeted workflows, and the AI Forum notes costs are trending down while efficiency gains stay high. (AI Forum) Table 2. Starter costs and KPIsThese are typical for off-the-shelf pilots in NZ. Treat as planning ranges. Area Typical starter cost KPI ideas Admin automation pilot 1,000 to 5,000 NZD Time saved, cycle time Retrieval Q&A over policies 1,000 to 4,000 NZD First response accuracy Reporting automation 1,000 to 3,000 NZD Error rate, report lead time Track three things from day one. Time saved per task and per person Quality or accuracy against a baseline Employee and customer sentiment If the numbers do not hold after eight weeks, stop or adjust. Your 90-day AI adoption roadmapA simple, staged plan that fits NZ teams. Days 0 to 30• Choose two low-risk use cases with clear owners • Draft a one-page AI policy and an approved tools list • Switch on logging, red-teaming and human review • Train ten pilot users with role-based examplesDays 31 to 60• Expand to thirty users • Tighten prompts and SOPs • Add read-only access to trusted data sources • Baseline metrics and publish early resultsDays 61 to 90• Decide keep, improve or stop for each use case • Publish your internal “how we use AI” page • Queue the next two use cases with the same controlsThis pace is realistic. You can move quicker in spots, slower in others. That is normal. What the Government’s AI Strategy changes It emphasises adoption and practical use. You are not expected to build a model from scratch. (MBIE) It sits alongside guidance the public service already uses. You can reuse the guardrails, even in private settings. (New Zealand Digital government) Ministers have linked the strategy to a wider productivity push. Direction is clear. Move, but keep it safe. (The Beehive) FAQsIs New Zealand behind on AI Not really on adoption. Datacom reports 87% of organisations use AI and 88% see a positive impact. The bigger gap is scaling and skills. That is fixable with the roadmap above. (Datacom) What is the safest place to start Admin and reporting. Use approved tools. Keep data simple and non-sensitive. Apply human review before anything goes to customers. Borrow the GenAI checklist to set foundations. (New Zealand Digital government) Do I need a long policy before I begin No. Start with one page that covers purpose, scope, approved tools, data rules, human oversight and logging. Expand only when you scale. That mirrors public guidance. (New Zealand Digital government) Will this replace jobs It will change tasks. NZ reports show strong efficiency gains and reshaped work. Plan training and redesign roles as you go. Track sentiment as well as speed. (AI Forum) Where can I see NZ case studies and costs See AI Forum’s AI in Action series for local examples and the cost trend narrative. It is a useful companion to the Datacom figures. (AI Forum) Need help to move from pilot to scaleYou can ask us to set up a low-risk pilot, draft a one-page policy, and build a prompt library that fits your brand and data. We will also implement simple logging, reviews and a KPI pack you can show your board. We can support you in including AI in your Digital Workstreams and Outcomes.

Adoption is high. Scaled, governed use is still catching up. This page gives you a simple maturity ladder, clear NZ context, and a KPI pack you can use today. More words, same structure. Easier to read, I think. Your browser does not support the video tag. Snapshot: where NZ stands right nowMost New Zealand businesses say they use AI. A smaller group have rolled it out across the whole organisation. What this means in practice: You probably have pilots running in one or two teams. People report time saved, faster drafts, and better decisions. The step from tools to business change is the hard one. Why scale stalls: Data sits in different places and quality varies. Staff are keen but not sure what “good” looks like. Policy exists in a PDF somewhere and nobody reads it. Name (required) Email (required) Company Phone (required) Website URL (required) Would you like to Claim your FREE site auditYesNo Message (required) I agree to the Privacy Policy × Fast facts Metric NZ number Comment Using AI in 2025 High 80s to low 90s percent Strong uptake, especially in larger firms Scaled use Lower share Whole-of-business rollout is rarer Common risk pattern “Shadow AI” People use tools before policy catches up Adoption vs depth of deploymentAdoption is not maturity. Many teams run quick wins in one function. Fewer connect shared data, shared patterns, and consistent review. Where rollouts often stall: Data access and quality checks are slow. Leaders approve pilots but do not assign owners. Nobody tracks value week to week, so momentum fades. How to unblock: Name an owner for each use case. Publish a one-page policy that people can actually follow. Review metrics every Friday. Short meeting. Clear decisions. The six-pillar readiness viewUse this to check progress each week. It keeps everyone honest. Pillar What “good” looks like First questions to ask Strategy AI tied to three business goals Which processes change first? Infrastructure Secure, observable, right-sized Where will models run? Data Clean, governed, monitored Who owns data quality? Governance Simple guardrails people follow What is our risk matrix? Talent AI literacy plus a few specialists Who leads enablement? Culture Ship small wins every quarter What goes live next? Tip: keep the checklist visible. A wall board works. Slightly old-school, but people notice it. The AI maturity ladder for NZ organisationsA short path you can follow. No fluff. Just steps that teams can own. Stage 1 — Exploratory Start small. Keep risk low. Teach your leads and set expectations. Do three things: Pick three use cases with clear owners and users. Publish your AI policy and create a pilot register that anyone can read. Run eight one-hour enablement sessions for the core team. What to avoid: Buying tools before you know the workflow. Writing a 20-page policy nobody reads. Chasing vanity demos. Pilot readiness checklist Step Owner Output Use case canvas Product owner Problem, users, KPI set Data check Data owner Access and quality signed off Guardrails Risk lead Red flags documented Success review Sponsor Go or stop decision recorded Move to stage 2 when one workflow shows a measurable gain inside 60 days. Not perfect, just real. Stage 2 — Departmental pilotsAutomate one workflow end to end. Swap ad-hoc tools for a managed stack with logging. Report weekly. Keep it public inside the business. Good practice: A named product owner with authority to change the process. Prompt patterns in a shared library. A visible scoreboard so everyone sees progress. Pilot KPI example KPI Baseline Target after 60 days Task cycle time 100 minutes 70 minutes Rework rate 12 percent 8 percent Data access time 2 days Same day Weekly active users 15 40 Share wins. Kill what does not work. Keep your register current so you do not repeat mistakes. Stage 3 — Scaled and governedWhen pilots hold, scale with guardrails. What changes now: Central retrieval over your data to avoid copy-paste chaos. Standard prompts and patterns so results are consistent. Audit logs and change control so you can trust outputs. Quarterly value reviews tied to money saved or revenue gained. Only scale when stage 2 KPIs hold for two sprints. It feels strict. It saves you later. Governance and trust in NZTrust unlocks permission to scale. New Zealand is principles-led. You can move fast if you show care and document choices. Make it practical: Write a plain-English policy staff can read in two minutes. Keep a register of AI use and update it monthly. Appoint one person to decide when something needs a deeper review. Public Service AI Framework in plain EnglishWhat it asks you to do: Use AI lawfully, safely, and responsibly. Keep it human-centred with clear escalation. Be transparent and accountable to the public. Build capability, set guardrails, and monitor outcomes. How to adopt this in business: Publish a short “How we use AI” page. Link to your risk matrix and contact person. Say what you will not do with AI. That helps trust. Table — What to publish Element Minimum Better Purpose Plain description of use Link to the business case Data Sources and stewardship Data quality checks Risks Known limits and mitigations Residual risk and owners Review How often you review Last review date and changes The Algorithm Charter and why it still mattersSince 2020, agencies have committed to fair, ethical, and transparent algorithm use. It remains a useful model for the private sector. Practical actions: Name the owner for each model or use case. Keep a simple change log. Schedule regular reviews and publish the date. Disclose when customers are interacting with AI. Small line, big signal. Skills, tools, and the agent eraPeople have adopted AI quickly. Leaders sometimes feel behind. That is normal. Teams that train and standardise move faster and safer. Agent-style tools are shifting from helper to delegated work. Plan for role design, hand-offs, and controls. What helps: Short training focused on your data and your prompts. A shared library of patterns that anyone can copy. A channel where people post wins and near-misses. What the data says about workWhat usually shows up first: Time saved on writing, analysis, and admin. Quality improves when teams share prompts and examples. Gains jump again when data access is sorted and secure. Your rollout plan should include training, prompts, and a place to share wins. Sounds simple. Works well. Practical stack choices for year oneKeep it simple and supportable. You can swap parts later. Layer Low-friction choice When to upgrade Apps Mainstream SaaS with built-in AI When you need deeper workflows RAG Managed vector store and retrieval When latency or scale hurts Models Hosted foundation models When you need domain tuning Infra Trusted cloud and private endpoints When handling sensitive data Guardrails Policy, audit, and DLP Start as soon as pilots begin Write down who approves what. Then stick to it. This one habit removes a lot of debate. Proving value: KPIs, costs, and business casesBoards fund what they can measure. Make the proof simple and repeatable. You do not need perfect data to start. Steps that work: Baseline one process for two weeks. Pick three KPIs that matter to the team. Review every Friday with the sponsor present. Local signals and case snapshots- Real NZ examples help you make better calls. - They show what “good” can look like here. - They also show where to be careful. Te Hiku Media and Māori data stewardship- Te Hiku built a Māori speech model with strong accuracy, on their terms, with a clear stance on data sovereignty. - It proves that local, focused, ethical AI can work. - It also shows why ownership and consent matter for long-term trust. Public sector momentum- The National AI Strategy confirms a principles-first, risk-based approach. - Expect more guidance and examples from agencies. - That helps everyone, including small businesses, move with confidence. - It also keeps NZ connected to international standards without heavy new rules. FAQsIs New Zealand behind on AI maturity? Adoption is high. Scale and governance are the gap for many. Skills and data integration cause most delays. With a register, weekly reviews, and clear owners, progress speeds up. Do I need a new AI law before I act? No. Use existing NZ laws and the Public Service AI Framework. Document choices, risks, and reviews. If in doubt, run a small ethics review before launch. What is “shadow AI” and should I worry? It is unapproved use of tools by staff. It creates security and privacy risk. Offer approved tools, training, and a clear policy. Most people will switch if you make the safe option easy. What business value can I expect? Productivity gains come first. Decision quality and customer experience follow. Value grows when you scale with data and governance in place. Track money saved or revenue created, not just hours. Where should I start this quarter? Pick one workflow. Set a tight KPI. Create a pilot register. Report weekly. Decide to scale or stop. This rhythm works for most teams, even small ones.

You see it in routine tasks first. Document summaries. Meeting notes. Faster responses to customers. Teams report quicker turnarounds and fewer repeat errors. Managers notice shorter queues and cleaner data. It is not magic. It is useful, and that is enough. Common wins show up in three places. Frontline teams reduce handle time and raise first contact resolution. Back offices automate repetitive checks and form processing. Leaders get better visibility across content and decisions. You might already be using AI features inside tools you own. The pattern is repeatable. Start small. Prove value. Expand to the next workflow. New Zealand organisations do this while staying pragmatic about cost and risk. That balance matters here. We are a smaller market. Budgets are tight. People want results that stick. If you have not started yet, you are not late. Pick a simple use case with a clear measure, like time saved per ticket. Keep scope tight. You will learn fast and avoid surprises. The real problems holding teams backMost delays are not technical. They are human and process issues. People worry about privacy and mistakes. Leaders want proof before they spend. Data lives in scattered systems. Policies lag behind behaviour, so shadow tools creep in. You can reduce friction by naming the common blockers upfront. Lack of a clear business case. Unclear ownership. No approval path for pilots. Weak guidance on what data to share. Thin training for everyday users. Each of these stalls momentum. Fix the basics early. Write a one page policy that sets simple rules for safe use. Define one owner for each pilot. Decide what success looks like. Keep legal and security in the loop without slowing everything down. Offer short, hands on training. People learn by doing. Expect bumps. Models will get things wrong. Colleagues will worry about change. That is normal. Treat pilots as learning time. Close what does not work. Scale what does. Name (required) Email (required) Company Phone (required) Website URL (required) Would you like to Claim your FREE site auditYesNo Message (required) I agree to the Privacy Policy × What “good” looks like in year oneYear one is about learning and results, not grand plans. A good programme brings three small wins to production and retires one idea that did not deliver. It sets guardrails, measures outcomes, and builds team confidence. Aim for a simple rhythm. Quarter one proves a fast win with clear numbers. Quarter two expands to a second workflow with new stakeholders. Quarter three hardens the controls. Quarter four tidies up processes and training. Keep the roadmap flexible. A healthy setup shows a few signals. People know where to ask questions. Risk owners have visibility without blocking experiments. IT can deploy updates and roll back if needed. Finance sees a link between the work and saved time or better conversions. Avoid over engineering. You do not need a full platform strategy on day one. Start where value is clear and data is available. Document what you learn. That knowledge will guide your next decisions. What the NZ data saysAdoption and impact highlights from recent NZ studiesAcross New Zealand, adoption keeps rising. Most organisations have tried at least one AI feature in mainstream tools. A growing share report tangible benefits. Faster document handling. Quicker customer replies. Better search over internal knowledge. These are modest shifts that add up across a year. The pattern varies by sector. Professional services and tech move earlier. Government and health move with more care. Small and mid sized firms adopt when tools fold into what they already use. That means email, documents, and ticketing systems. People prefer gains that feel immediate. Your browser does not support the video tag. Reported impact clusters around time saving. Teams finish the same work in fewer minutes. Accuracy improves where quality checks exist. Where checks are missing, rework appears. That tells you the real lesson. Pair AI with simple controls and you keep the gains. If you want benchmarks, look for New Zealand specific surveys and vendor usage overviews. Treat global stats as context only. Local constraints, from budget to data policy, shape outcomes here. The top barriers to successBarriers repeat across organisations of all sizes. Data quality is the big one. If your source content is messy, AI will echo that mess. Governance is next. Without guardrails, people do risky things by accident. Cost and skills follow. Leaders need a case they can trust. Staff need time and practice. There are softer barriers too. Fear of change. Worries about job security. Mixed messages about what is allowed. Unclear ownership. These slow progress more than most roadblocks. Work through them with a simple plan. Clean one dataset that is central to the first use case. Publish a policy that sets rules in plain English. Pilot with a small group and train them well. Measure time saved, error rates, and customer feedback. Share results widely. Finally, keep compliance in view. Privacy, security, and sector rules are part of day one. Treat them as design inputs, not reasons to stop. You will move faster when risk owners help shape the pilot. What this means for your plansIt means you can move now, with care. Pick a use case tied to a clear outcome. Keep scope narrow. Anchor the plan to data you can access and trust. Involve legal and security early. Document everything you decide. Plan for three things in parallel. Value, safety, and learning. Value means a measurable result the business will care about. Safety means guardrails and a fallback if something goes wrong. Learning means you capture what worked and what did not. That learning becomes your playbook. Expect to revisit choices. Vendors change fast. Policies evolve. The data you need may live in other teams. Give yourself room to adjust without derailing progress. Most of all, keep it practical. Talk about minutes saved, fewer errors, and happier customers. These outcomes win support across teams. Big claims invite debate. Small, proven wins build momentum. Pick your first use case this quarterFast wins for SMEsStart where value and simplicity meet. Three patterns deliver early. A customer service co pilot that drafts replies and suggests next steps. Document processing that classifies, extracts, and files forms. Knowledge search that answers staff questions from your policies. Why these. They sit on top of tools you already use. Email. Helpdesk. Document stores. The data is yours and close at hand. The risks are manageable with basic guardrails. How to run them. Define the goal. For example, reduce average handle time by ten percent. Select a small team. Connect only the data they need. Write clear prompts and response templates. Add spot checks. Track time saved, accuracy, and customer impact. What to avoid. Do not attempt a brand new platform in week one. Do not connect sensitive data without an approval path. Do not skip training. A one hour workshop with live tasks does more than a long manual. Ship a pilot, learn, and decide whether to scale. Sector snapshotsEvery sector has low friction starts. In health, think triage notes and referral summaries. Keep patient privacy at the centre and involve clinical governance. In finance, use AI to speed up KYC checks and triage inbound queries. Align with compliance from day one. In agriculture, apply models to imagery and weather data for yield or risk insights. Keep farmers in the loop so outputs fit real workflows. In education, support teachers with marking aids and admin helpers. Keep student data controls tight and transparent. In the public sector, focus on document automation and policy Q and A for staff. Follow existing algorithm and transparency commitments. Across all sectors, pick use cases that do not need new data collection. Use what you already hold, with consent and purpose limits respected. Start small, report outcomes, and share learnings across teams. Sector rules shape pace, but the playbook remains the same. Data foundations you need before you startTen point readiness checklistYou move faster when data basics are clear. Use this shortlist. Name the business problem and measure that matters. List the source systems and owners. Confirm consent and purpose for each dataset. Check data quality on a small sample. Remove or mask sensitive fields you do not need. Decide who can access what, and how approvals work. Set logging and retention for prompts and outputs. Define accuracy checks and human review. Plan rollback if the pilot misbehaves. Write a short policy people can read in five minutes. Summary table: Data readiness at a glance Item Owner Tool / Artefact Sign-off Problem and metric named Business owner One-page brief Sponsor Source systems listed Data owner System inventory IT / app owner Consent and purpose checked Privacy lead PIA / DPIA note Privacy Sample quality checked Data owner Sample report Project lead Sensitive fields masked Security DLP / redaction plan Security Access rules set IT / Security Access matrix Security Logging and retention set IT Logging plan Security Human review defined Process owner QA checklist Process owner Rollback plan ready Tech lead Runbook Tech lead Policy published Sponsor One-page policy Sponsor Keep it light. You can refine later. The goal is enough clarity to start a safe pilot, not a perfect data warehouse. Where your data lives and who owns itData location and ownership affect trust. If you work with New Zealand customers, you may prefer NZ or nearby cloud regions for lower latency and clearer procurement paths. Check where models run and where prompts and outputs are stored. Clarify whether they are used for training by default. Choose settings that match your risk appetite. Ownership is about more than storage. It includes rights to use, share, and delete. Map these for each dataset. Confirm that vendors cannot reuse your content without permission. Ensure you can export your data if you change platforms. Document these choices so procurement and privacy teams are comfortable. Ownership inside your organisation matters too. Name a data owner for the pilot. Give them the right to stop or pause the project if controls slip. Clear ownership prevents ambiguity when timelines get tight. Guardrails for shadow AIPeople will experiment on their own. That is positive energy, but it can create risk. Shadow AI appears when staff paste sensitive content into unapproved tools. Stop it with clarity, not fear. Give people a safe default. Approve one or two tools and explain what is allowed. Forbid copying private or customer data into public services. Offer a channel to ask for new tools. Reward teams that propose useful ideas. Add light monitoring where appropriate. Watch for data moving to unknown places. Pair that with training. Short reminders in team meetings work. Share examples of safe prompts. Make it easy to do the right thing. Most of all, respond fast when issues appear. Fix the gap. Update the policy. Thank the person who raised it. A supportive culture cuts risk and keeps momentum. Safe and responsible AI in NZPrivacy Act 2020 and the OPCThe Privacy Act sets the rules for collecting, using, and sharing personal information in New Zealand. It asks you to be clear about purpose, to collect only what you need, to keep it safe, and to give people access to their own information. AI pilots are no exception. Map your pilot to the information privacy principles. List the data involved. Confirm consent or another legal basis. Limit access to the smallest group that can do the work. Secure storage and logging. Plan what you will do if a breach occurs. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner provides guidance and training. Use those resources. If in doubt, ask questions early. Document decisions. Small teams often miss this step and regret it later. A few pages of notes now will save you time. Publish a short notice for staff and customers if your pilot touches their data. Plain English earns trust. Maori data sovereignty and the CARE principlesData about Maori has context, history, and rights attached. Maori data sovereignty means communities should have control and benefit when their data is used. The CARE principles give you a way to act on that idea. Collective benefit. Authority to control. Responsibility. Ethics. If your pilot involves Maori data, engage early. Ask who should be involved and how decisions will be made. Agree on purpose. Set rules for access, storage, and benefit. Share outcomes in ways that serve the community. This is practical work, not a box to tick. Even if your first pilot does not include Maori data, build the habit now. Put the principles in your policy. Teach your teams what they mean. The goal is respect and partnership. People notice when you do this well. A one page AI policy and approval flowDo not wait for a perfect policy. Write one page that covers scope, allowed uses, banned uses, data rules, review steps, and contacts. Keep it in plain English. Make it easy to find. Update it as you learn. Set a simple approval flow. One sponsor. One risk reviewer. One technical owner. A short form that asks for the problem, the data, the controls, and the success measure. Approvals in days, not months. That speed matters when momentum is fragile. Include a stop rule. If the pilot cannot meet a safety or privacy requirement, it pauses. No debate. Clear rules protect people and the programme. Finish with a training note. New users must take a short session before they get access. Skills and safety go together. Mapping to recognised frameworksYou do not need to reinvent controls. Use known frameworks to guide your design. Map your pilot to a simple subset first. Risk identification, measurement, monitoring, and incident response. Keep the language familiar to your security team. Look at widely referenced options. A risk management framework that offers practical controls for AI systems. A management standard that helps you operationalise policies and audits. A cross border law that will shape exporters and vendors. You will not adopt them in full on day one. You can still align your basics. Make a table that links your controls to the framework items you chose. This shows auditors and partners that you are serious. It also helps new team members understand why controls exist. Start small and deepen over time. Build, buy, or partner in AotearoaPlatform choices in plain EnglishChoose the path that fits your stack and team. If you live in Microsoft 365, a built in copilot can be a natural first step. If you prefer Google Workspace, look at models that integrate with Docs and Drive. If you need flexible building blocks, API based services make sense. For teams on AWS or Azure, managed foundation model services keep security and logging inside your cloud. Think about your data. Where does it sit today. What needs to connect. What guardrails do you require. Consider developer capacity. Do you have engineers to build and maintain a custom workflow, or do you want a managed app. Run a small bake off. Define the same use case. Score tools on fit, effort, control, and price. Include a proof of value period. Avoid long commitments until you see results. NZ cloud regions and data residencySome organisations prefer New Zealand or nearby regions for latency and procurement reasons. Others care about where prompts and outputs are stored. Ask vendors to document data paths. Where does the request travel. Where are logs kept. Can you opt out of training. Can you bring your own keys. For public sector and regulated teams, data residency can be a hard requirement. For others, it is a choice weighed against features and cost. Be explicit. Write down your minimums. Include them in vendor reviews and contracts. Test performance from your locations. Include mobile networks if your frontline teams work on the go. A smooth experience drives adoption more than you think. Partner selection checklistA good partner reduces risk and speeds learning. Look for New Zealand case experience, not just vendor badges. Ask for two recent clients you can call. Check whether they can work within your procurement and privacy needs. Assess four things. Sector knowledge. Technical depth in your stack. Change and training capability. A clear view on responsible use. Ask them to outline a small, fixed price pilot with deliverables and exit criteria. Watch how they communicate. Do they explain trade offs plainly. Do they push for data you do not need. Do they offer a path to handover, or lock you in. A short checklist up front avoids poor fits later. Consider a local partner: Net Branding Limited can run a small, fixed price pilot with clear deliverables and exit criteria. We focus on safe adoption, NZ data needs, and practical training so your team sees value quickly. ROI, costs, and KPIsTime saved and value gained calculatorKeep ROI simple and honest. Start with time saved. Measure a baseline across a real week. Then run the pilot and measure the same tasks again. Multiply minutes saved by the number of tasks and the number of people who do them. That gives you hours returned to the business. Translate hours into value. Some teams redeploy time to higher value work. Others reduce overtime or backlog. Be clear about which applies to you. Do not over claim. Add quality signals. Fewer errors. Faster resolution. Better customer satisfaction. These are leading indicators that support the time story. Present the numbers in a small table that leaders can scan. Finally, include costs on the same page. Licences, integration, and change. Show the net effect. Decision makers respect a balanced view. Summary table: ROI quick view (example) Metric Baseline Pilot Delta Average minutes per task 6.0 4.5 -1.5 Tasks per week 1,200 1,200 n/a People doing task 8 8 n/a Hours saved per week n/a n/a 30.0 Estimated value per hour n/a n/a Enter rate Value per week n/a n/a Hours × rate Use your real baselines. Keep the calculator simple and auditable. Typical cost componentsCosts fall into three buckets. Licences : Monthly or annual fees for models or apps. Prices vary by volume and features. Plan for growth once the pilot succeeds. Integration : Time to connect systems and data. Even light connections need design and testing. Budget for security reviews and approvals. Change and training : People need support to use new tools well. Short sessions, job aids, and floor walking help adoption. This cost is easy to skip and then regret. Keep a modest budget for it. Put these in one view with a range for each. Leaders want to see the shape of spend before they commit. How to track success without gaming the numbersPick a few metrics that matter and make them hard to game. Time to complete a task measured by the system, not self reported. Error rates checked by a reviewer. Customer satisfaction from your existing survey. Adoption rates based on real usage, not logins. Show baselines and deltas side by side. Report weekly in the pilot. Share results with the team. Let them see progress and raise issues early. Celebrate small wins without overselling. Avoid vanity metrics. Prompt counts or word counts do not help. Focus on things your leadership cares about. Fewer minutes per task. Fewer escalations. Faster onboarding for new staff. Solid measures build trust in the programme. Your 90 day planWeeks 1 to 2: align, discover, decideStart with a quick alignment session. Name the business problem. Confirm the metric. Pick the first use case. Identify the data and the owner. Choose a small team of users who will try the pilot. Do a light discovery. Map the current workflow. Capture bottlenecks. Sample the data for quality. Decide on the tool or vendor shortlist. Draft the one page policy and the approval form. Share it with legal and security for fast feedback. Finish with a simple plan. Tasks, owners, dates. Keep scope tight so you can deliver inside the ninety days. Book the training slot now. People are busy. Early calendar invites keep things moving. Weeks 3 to 6: pilot with guardrailsBuild the pilot in a safe environment. Connect only the data you need. Set logging and access controls. Write prompt templates and review rules. Train the users for an hour with live tasks. Keep the tone practical. Run the pilot on real work for two to three weeks. Track the chosen metrics each day. Hold short stand ups to collect feedback. Fix small issues fast. Park bigger changes for a second phase. Keep stakeholders engaged. Share a weekly dashboard with results and notes. Be candid about misses. This is how you build trust. Weeks 7 to 12: measure, scale, or stopSpend a week on measurement. Compare against the baseline. Gather user feedback. Capture lessons learned. Decide if the pilot met the bar for value and safety. If it worked, plan a controlled scale up. Expand to the next team or workflow. Update training and policy based on what you learned. Secure a budget that matches the new scope. If it did not work, close it with a short write up. Thank the team. Pick a new use case using your fresh insight. Either path is progress. The goal is a repeatable way to test ideas and move good ones into production. FAQs: AI in New ZealandIs AI legal to use in my business in NZ Yes, you can use AI in your business when you respect existing laws and sector rules. The Privacy Act sets clear expectations for personal information. Consumer and copyright laws still apply. If you operate in a regulated sector, follow the specific guidance for that field. Think of AI as another way to process information. The same duties apply. Keep records of what you are doing. Write down the purpose, the data involved, and the controls. Offer a contact point for questions or complaints. If you provide AI features to customers, be transparent about limits and review processes. When in doubt, seek advice early rather than late. Practical rule of thumb. If you would not share the content outside your organisation, do not paste it into an unapproved tool. Use approved options with logging and access control. Do I need a data policy before I start Yes, publish a short policy before the first pilot. It does not need to be perfect. It must be clear. Say what is allowed, what is not allowed, how approvals work, and who to contact. Add simple rules for prompts, data handling, and review. Keep it to one page so people will read it. Pair the policy with a short training. Show real examples from your work. Give people safe defaults they can follow without fear. Update the policy as you learn. Treat it like a living document, not a compliance artefact you file and forget. A policy reduces risk and speeds delivery. People move faster when they know the boundaries. What does NZ data residency actually change Data residency affects where your data and logs are stored and processed. Some organisations need New Zealand or nearby regions for policy or procurement reasons. Others want to reduce latency and keep data flows simple. Residency choices can also affect your options for key management and incident response. Ask vendors to document data paths. Where do prompts go. Where are outputs and logs stored. Can you turn off training on your data. Can you hold the keys. Clear answers let you make an informed call. Residency is one factor among many. Balance it with features, price, and support. Document your decision either way so auditors and partners understand your approach. How do I stop sensitive data leaking into tools Set clear rules and provide safe defaults. Approve one or two tools with logging. Block copy and paste of sensitive content into public services where practical. Use data loss prevention features you already own. Train people on real examples of safe and unsafe prompts. Adopt the principle of least privilege. Only give access to the data a user needs. Mask or remove fields that are not required for the task. Monitor for unusual data flows and respond quickly when you see a problem. Culture matters as much as tech. Make it easy to ask questions and report issues. Reward caution. Small changes in behaviour prevent most incidents. What skills should I train first Start with AI fluency for non technical staff. Teach how to frame a task, write a clear prompt, and review outputs critically. Show how to use the approved tools on real work. Short, hands on sessions work best. For technical teams, focus on data access, security controls, and monitoring. If you plan to build, add prompt engineering, retrieval augmented generation basics, and evaluation methods. Do not forget change skills. Champions who can coach peers are worth their weight in gold. Keep training light and regular. A monthly clinic with open questions keeps skills growing without heavy cost. Sources and further readingNZ strategy and guidanceStart with public guidance on responsible use and the national direction. These sources set the tone for safe adoption in New Zealand. Look for pages that cover frameworks, surveys, and the role of agencies. They help you align language and policy so approvals move smoothly. Bookmark the key documents your team will reuse. Policy templates. Algorithm commitments. Cross agency survey summaries. Link them from your internal wiki so people can find them easily. Review the links every quarter and refresh the list. Industry reports and local case materialUse local reports for adoption patterns and practical lessons. Focus on New Zealand data where possible. Global numbers can inspire but do not always map to our context. Case material from domestic pilots is even better. Short, honest write ups of what worked and what did not will save you time. Collect examples across sectors. Health, finance, agriculture, education, and public service. Aim for a range of sizes. Small firms and large organisations face different constraints. A shared folder of case notes becomes a valuable resource. Security and privacy contactsKeep a short list of contacts your team can reach when questions arise. Privacy leads. Security advisers. Vendor support channels. Sector bodies that publish alerts. Make the list visible in your wiki and pilot documents. Agree response times. If a user spots a possible breach or misuse, they need a fast path to the right person. Run a tabletop exercise once a year to test the process. You will learn where to tighten things before a real incident forces your hand.

You may have done a search on Google or Bing recently and seen a block of AI-generated text at the top of the page. That is called the AI overview. Why is this AI Overview really important for your business?This article intends to break down the importance of AI overviews, along with explaining how AI overviews can support your business in the AI search results. What is an AI overview?An AI overview is really a summary generated by, perhaps Google's Search Generative Experience or SGE. Instead of moving through the typical approach that you would have when you do a search, which shows a page layout to be 1. ads, then 2. perhaps your Google Business profiles and then 3. your organic searches, what is now happening is that an AI overview tends to supersede or come in front of those other searches. It appears right at the top of the page and search results. It is Google's way (and we will refer to Google, but it would be the same in any of the other search engines) of giving users faster and perhaps more direct answers, particularly if the request is a little bit more complex or has multiple parts to it. E.g. "I am looking for a red dress for a ball. Where will I find the best red dress in town?" as an example. Or “How to compare solar panel types for a small home in New Zealand with low winter sunlight”. Name (required) Email (required) Company Phone (required) Website URL (required) Would you like to Claim your FREE site auditYesNo Message (required) I agree to the Privacy Policy × To further explain why I believe this would trigger an AI Overview result. It’s long and specific It combines multiple intent layers: such as comparison, context  and location (NZ), and adds in an environmental condition (low winter sunlight) Google’s AI recognises this as a question that needs synthesis from multiple sources, not a single-page answer. This possibly showcases why a keyword focused piece of content may no longer be appropriate for this type of search. How does a Google AI overview work?What happens behind the scenes when you ask a question of Google? (And again, I ask you to substitute any other search engine as I use the term Google only for purposes of discussion.) Google receives your query. The AI, which could be like MUM or Gemini, analyses the intent of the query and then pulls all the reliable content from across the internet. From that source of content, it generates what is a cohesive and reasonable or readable response called the overview. You'll see it, typically, as I've explained already, at the top of those search engine results. And sometimes, not always, it will include links to the sites used to substantiate the search overview that it has provided. Sometimes it doesn't, but getting mentioned in an AI overview is becoming critical for a business's visibility. What triggers an AI overview?Not every search will show one. They usually tend to appear when the researchers use words like "how to" or "what is" or "how will something happen," when they're looking for potential comparisons between option one and option two, or when explanations may require multiple viewpoints. They could be searching for product advice: "How to turn on a DishDrawer Fisher and Paykel dishwasher that is showing an error message xxx," as an example. It might be product advice, or it might be somebody looking for step-by-step guidance. Google's AI is really trying to anticipate what you may ask for next and answer it up front. How are AI overviews generated?They are typically built using things such as NLP, or Natural Language Processing. They could be used and generated from generative models like Gemini that used to be called BARD, focused on all search-intent signals from the user. AI SEOAI SEO vs SEO pre 2024 / 2025.  The way websites are now prepared for  mentioning in AI-driven search has moved well beyond traditional SEO. What worked before AI isn’t enough anymore.  Your site(s) need updates and changes to stay visible in an AI-shaped search world. What websites get into AI Overview or AI Search results?AI overview generation can come from information contained in highly trusted website with semantic relevance to the search phrase that was queried. With the previous explanation, it is way less focused on keywords and way more focused on user intention and information seeking. This does mean that for your website to show in an AI overview, your website needs to be topically strong, well-structured, and filled with content-rich information. FACT:  Keywords of the past may help, but keyword stuffing is definitely big “no-no”. How do we compare AI overview versus traditional search results? Feature Traditional Search AI Overview Shows links? ✅ Yes ✅ Sometimes Auto-generated content? ❌ No ✅ Yes Based on exact match keywords? ✅ Often ❌ Mostly intent-driven Offers summary or synthesis? ❌ No ✅ Yes Replaces need to click? ❌ Not usually ✅ Often does Explaining the above table: In the feature, it will show links. Yes, in traditional search, you would also have links. In AI overview, links are shown sometimes. Autogenerated content: definitely not in your traditional search, but a definite yes when it comes to AI overviews. Being based on exact match keywords, often, when it came to traditional search. However, with an AI overview, most of the search results are driven by intent. Offering a summary or synthesis of search results: no for traditional search, but a definite yes in an AI overview. Replacing the need to click in traditional search: not usually, because you would click into the website to assess the level of information that had been displayed. With AI overviews, often there's enough content that negates the need for a click. And this last point is why AI overviews can reduce organic click-throughs unless your site is being cited as a source for that information. We have to ask the question: is AI overview replacing the traditional featured snippet?In many cases, the answer is yes. AI overviews are becoming the new future-focused featured snippet, especially when it comes to mobile and desktop results looking at the SGE view. Google is obviously still testing, but early signs show that snippets may become secondary to that AI block of information. Where will you find or see AI overviews in your Google search results?In your region or area, you'll spot AI overviews generally, as I've explained already, at the top of the Google search result on a desktop, in the Search Labs setting, or perhaps under certain longer, more complex queries. Has AI overviews arrived in New Zealand?AI overview has been rolled out in New Zealand, although only in part. But AI overviews are certainly becoming more prevalent across the globe. Google has said that they are testing regionally and plan to extend these SGE (Search Generative Experience) features globally as they phase in, or globally in phases. If your audience is international or you want to stay ahead of the search curve, then AI does matter for you. Can I trust Google AI Overview?Google AI overviews pull together a summary from what’s already online. If the input is from a relevant and reliable source, then yes, the overview can be reliable too. But I think it’s worth saying all info online should be double-checked. Don’t just take it as gospel. Is AI Overview a website?No, AI overviews are basically a compilation and summary of what’s already online. It’s content pulled from existing online sources, not something brand new. Looking at SEO impact: how AI overviews can impact your website or affect your website.That's surely a big one as we see the impact of AI on search. The question to ask if your website is not currently in that AI Google overview is: Do you have a clear content structure? Does your website address the user's questions directly? Does your website have the depth to provide that topical information that is required to place you in a position of authority? And is AI-generated content loaded to your website without actually providing anything new? That can perhaps be a negative signal to actually be included in those AI overviews results. FACT: Google definitely favours well-written, trustworthy, and content-focused on a human-first. How can your business benefit from these AI overviews?If you appear in one, your brand is seen to have instant authority. You get impressions of your brand, even if you don't always get the click. And it certainly helps your customers early in their journey. You are instantly ahead of competitors who are not optimising for this AI shift. What's next and what local digital marketing agency can help?If you're wondering how to get your content onto AI overviews, if you're wondering how to optimise your landing pages for search, or if you're wondering how to determine a clear SEO strategy that takes all of this into account, we are here to help.

SEO's Future in a World Driven by AI What Is Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)? SEO's Future in a World Driven by AILeverage Generative Engine Optimisation with Net Branding’s advanced digital strategy and implementation. Understanding Generative Engine OptimisationHow we search is changing. As AI continues to dominate online, customers are using AI to find products, services, and get information and advice. Generative Engine Optimisation is a game-changer for businesses, enabling them to remain visible to customers in AI-driven queries. What is GEO?Generative Engine Optimisation is the process of ensuring your content is optimised for Generative AI search engines, such as Google’s Gemini, ChatGPT, and Perplexity AI. It’s no secret that Generative AI has been a game changer for online users over the years. Searches that ask a question receive curated answers that match their query, which are pulled from multiple websites instead of a single source. The name GEO comes from Generative AI, an Artificial Intelligence that uses large language models (LLMs) to identify, assess, and organise the information they’ve scraped and provide relevant answers. Instead of just keyword optimisation (adding keywords into the content), these AI models can understand semantics, nuances, and assign meaning to the content. As we see a big shift in user search, it changes how brands are being discovered. Ultimately, the goal of Generative Engine Optimisation is to get your website’s content into AI search models, so customers notice you when they begin their search. How Is GEO Different from Traditional SEO? Search Engine Optimisation Generative Engine Optimisation • Focuses on improving a website’s ranking in search results to increase visibility, primarily focused on Google. • Focuses on getting included in AI-generated responses (e.g., AI Overviews, Perplexity AI). • Emphasise on backlinks, keyword optimisation, structured data, and technical SEO to boost rankings. • Prioritises credibility, structured content, and AI-friendly formatting to be recognised by AI models. • Goal is to drive traffic and engagement by converting clicks from search results into actions. • Traffic is influenced by brand mentions, AI-generated citations, and any authoritative sources used by AI tools. There are a few distinct differences between Generative AI and SEO search. With traditional SEO, consumers would have to click through a link on the search engine to read an article. But GEO collates this content and summarises it in an easy, digestible format. SEO optimises content for traditional search engines (i.e. Google, Bing, Yahoo). Meanwhile, GEO content optimises for an AI engine, which will summarise the website’s content and produce an output to consumers. While SEO search focuses on targeting keywords, backlinks, and on-page optimisation, GEO techniques emphasise structure and salience. Quality of content is highly important for GEO, as is building content that stands out from everything else online. The more mentions you get of your content, the more popular it becomes for AI. Why GEO Is Essential in 2025 and BeyondGEO will continue to be an important aspect of search marketing as AI’s presence increases online. We can see that the search for generative engine optimisation is growing, indicating that more businesses and marketers are taking note of the trend. More people are incorporating AI into their search strategies. According to Search Engine Land, 71.5% of respondents reported using AI tools for search, with 14% using them on a daily basis. Gen Z is the largest group of AI searchers, with 81% having used AI search tools at least occasionally. This is no surprise, as AI search has provided a highly convenient way for users to piece together information without having to visit multiple websites. AI search is quick, intuitive, and can answer even the most complex questions with surprising accuracy. How Generative Engines Extract and Use ContentAI tools aren’t just looking for keywords in a search query. They are evaluating the content’s credibility, structure, and value. This is achieved by applying the E-E-A-T principles to website content (i.e. Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness). The concept of LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) keywords is also highly important. Generative AI searches are more advanced at recognising related keywords and entity salience within content (for example, including terms like "rehabilitation" and "physical therapy" alongside the main keyword "physio"). AIs are also experts in Natural Language Processing, which means they can process, interpret, and even translate natural human languages in content. Content that has structure, credibility, proper H tags, and follows a ‘question and answer’ format typically does well with GEO, as it allows AI tools to efficiently capture the information. How to Optimise Your Site for GEOOptimising your site for GEO overlaps with SEO best practices in many ways. AI models respond best when the content is easy to understand, has authority, and is presented clear structure that aligns with its patterns. Here are some of the key areas of focus: Answer-first content structurePresent your answer first. This technique involves presenting the key ‘answer’ or message immediately after the subheading. It provides clarity to the AI models, making it easier for them to capture your content. Use of JSON-LD schema Add structured data to a page so that the AI tools understand the content of your page even better. We recommend using the JSON-LD structured data format (i.e. describing the title of the page, the author, about, and any other relevant details). Updating ‘About’ page like a Wikipedia entryConsider structuring content in a third person to gain trust and authority with AI models. This means including key facts clearly and objectively. Here’s an example of how a simple, GEO-friendly ‘About’ website page will look for Net Branding: Ownership and Founding: Net Branding Mellett founded Net Branding.

GEO helps small businesses appear in AI-generated responses, even if they do not have backlinks. Talk to Net Branding to learn more. Is GEO only for AI engines or also for Google search?

Solution: Using a free QR Code generator, she designs the flyer with the QR Code and pastes it on her community noticeboard. Customers who see the flyer can now scan the code with their smartphone and will be immediately and conveniently directed to Mary’s website or social media page.

Click-Through Rate (CTR) (%): How many people have clicked on your website based on the searched keywords? This must be converted into a percentage. Conversion Rate (%): From your website visitors, how many have made a purchase? This must be converted into a percentage. Average Order Value: What is your average order value? Lifetime Value (LTV): What is your customer’s average lifetime value? For example, if your company input the following numbers: Search Volume (per month): 5000 Click-Through Rate (CTR) (%): 20% Conversion Rate (%): 5% Average Order Value: 100 Lifetime Value (LTV): 500 Then, the system will calculate your SEO ROI as follows: Monthly Visitors: 1000.00 Monthly Customers: 50.00 Monthly Revenue: $5000.00 Lifetime Revenue: $25000.00 What Are the Benefits of Calculating My SEO ROI?If you or your stakeholder has ever wondered if your SEO efforts truly benefit the business, then an SEO calculator can help you answer that and more. In a time where marketing dollars are being scrutinised, calculating your SEO ROI can help your company in many ways: Make data-driven decisions A well-construction SEO decision should always be made with adequate research. With the SEO ROI calculator, you can understand how well your SEO efforts perform and how they relate to your overall business goals. Build effective SEO campaigns Having a high search volume on your website doesn’t necessarily mean your campaign is profitable. Instead, true SEO profitability is measured when you record a healthy customer conversion and monthly revenue. Calculating your SEO ROI helps you gain a better understanding of this. Generate more investments Getting more investment in your SEO marketing can be tough, but if you can show the true value of your efforts, you can encourage the organisation’s higher-ups to spend more on SEO. A calculator helps build your case on the tangible benefits of SEO. Proof-of-value Many in-house employees face more pressure to demonstrate the value of their work to their employers. By measuring your SEO ROI, you can strongly demonstrate the value your work creates. Cut costs Sometimes, investing in SEO may not give you the returns you need, and your marketing budget may be suited elsewhere (i.e. social media advertising, Google advertising, email marketing). Understanding your SEO value helps you cut costs and distribute your funds to other places.

Shopify SEO refers to optimising your Shopify store content to boost revenue. SEO, otherwise known as Search Engine Optimisation, is an essential tool used by many marketers to generate organic (non-paid) eyeballs for your store. As compared to sponsored or paid listings on Shopify, this method allows you to target customers using specific keywords that align with their search. However, doing this takes knowledge of customers’ search patterns and an understanding of how to fully utilise said keywords. Whether you run a small or big eCommerce brand on Shopify, having good SEO is necessary to generate more traffic to your store. Why is Shopify SEO important? Every online purchase begins with a search, and it is no different for Shopify users. SEO is important for most brands online, but it’s even more so if your product is listed on Shopify, which has over 2 million active users. As a seller with an online store on Shopify, you’re competing with over 2.4 million other local and international sellers for customers. How does your product listing stand out among others? While social media marketing and building a strong website are important, boosting your Shopify store with SEO best practices can offer the following benefits: Rank on the top spots of the Shopify results page whenever customers do a search Be present on the items that your customers are actually looking for See actual results with a low-risk, low-investment marketing activity Attracts ready-buyers that are searching for what you have to offer Build your brand credibility and reputation Is Shopify SEO for me?

Google Merchant Account SuspendedHas your Google Merchant Center Account been suspended?As a business owner, having your Google Merchant account closed is highly inconvenient, but it happens more often than not. It’s common for merchants, even those with over $20 million earnings per month, to suddenly receive an email from Google saying that their account has been suspended. This disruption can prevent you from using key features like Google Shopping, causing a significant loss of business revenue. So why does this happen? And how do we fix the issue? As an agency that has helped many businesses in New Zealand recover their suspended GMC account, here are some top FAQs we get asked and our response to them. Why was my Google Merchant account closed?Essentially, your GMC account was closed because you (unintentionally) violated Google’s policy. Google has since become much stricter in enforcing its rules, so it’s common for new accounts, especially if they're suspected of violating these rules, to be suspended. Here are the four main reasons we often see that cause an account suspension. Reason 1: MisrepresentationMisrepresentation is the most common reason cited by Google when suspending your GMC. This means that your Shopping ad can be misleading to customers who see it. At Net Branding, here are the examples of ‘misrepresentation’ we’ve seen and corrected: • Unclear pricing • Missing contact information • Unclear shipping and return policy • Missing payment method information Reason 2: Restricted BusinessesCertain types of businesses are restricted or limited on what they can sell on Google. These include: • Firearms • Adult services • Gambling • Alcohol Selling any of these products or services may likely get your account suspended. Reason 3: Tax & Shipping ErrorThe tax and shipping charges communicated on your website must match the information displayed on your Google Merchant Center account. Any information mismatch may likely lead to an account suspension. Perhaps you entered the data incorrectly or have not updated it on Google. In any case, it’s important that your tax and shipping information is clear for Google and its consumers. Reason 4: Suspicious Payment Activity Any suspicious payment activity or payment methods is definitely a concern for Google and will lead to an account suspension. These can include: • Billing address incorrect • Merchant credit card fraud • Using the same credit card or billing address in multiple Google Ads accounts Understanding why your account is banned can be a challenge. If you suspect your account may be suspended for reasons other than these four, it’s best to speak to our team, who can help you identify and rectify the issue. What happens when Google suspends your account?Having your GMC suspended can be a huge blow, as it often means: • Your Shopping ads won’t run • You lose your account and product performance history • You lose your business revenue While it may be tempting to create a new account, this is highly inadvisable. Doing so can trigger even more red flags from Google, who will likely suspend your new account too. The best course of action when faced with a suspension is to make an appeal. How do I appeal a suspended Google Merchant Center Account?Before you send in an appeal, it’s important that you identify and fix the issue with your account. Sending an appeal while your account is still unchanged will be pointless, as Google will still see the violation. A suspended Merchant Center account doesn’t have to be the end of the world. Here’s what you can do: • Log in to your Google Merchant Center account. • On the navigation menu, choose Products and then click on Diagnostics. • Click the Account issues tab. • Find the issue you want Google to review and click Request review. • Read the message prompt and follow the on-screen instructions on how to request a review. Generally, Google will take 7 days to review your account and will email you the result. Merchants who are unable to resolve the issue at the first appeal can submit a second appeal. But if the second appeal is still unsuccessful, Google will impose a one-week cool-down penalty before a merchant can appeal again. Is my Google Merchant Center Account suspension permanent?Unless it is a serious suspension issue, Google will not permanently suspend your Merchant Center account. This happens only in severe cases where the policy team has placed a permanent ban against a person. However, you should avoid sending in multiple appeals without taking corrective action and discovering why exactly your account has been suspended. Is there another way to recover my Google Merchant Center Account?Unfortunately, the only way to recover your Google Merchant Center account is to appeal to Google. If you’ve followed the steps and are still unsure why your account was suspended and how to recover it, NetBranding is here to help. NetBranding has worked with many clients to get their businesses back online and solve any issues with their Google accounts. To recover your account efficiently and avoid losing any more revenue trading online, speak to our team today.

Link building is one way that search engine optimization can help promote your website. Providing links from other sites tells readers about the information you offer and directs them to your website. It’s an important factor used for ranking a website, which translates to finding the ultimate goal of being the first search results for a particular site. Search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Google are looking for the link quality and quantity of these websites that link back to them. The more credible and reliable sites link to them the more your website will rank highly in search engines. This helps to contextualise your website for Google, particularly where the backlinks come from sites that are related to your industry. Google gives high importance to websites that have links pointing back at them, especially relevant links. You can classify these as either “dofollow” or “nofollow”, which decides whether or not these links will contribute to your website rankings. Backlinks can be marked as “dofollow” or “nofollow”, which decides whether or not that link will contribute to your website’s domain authority.

Although the process of link building has changed a lot over the past few years, it is still a worthwhile strategy to help improve your website’s rankings in Google. Quality links will help you rank higher on Google. However, in the past, spammy strategies like link buying would have devalued your site. Thanks to modern search engine algorithms, they are now irrelevant and will have little impact on your domain authority. Google may take these links as a sign that you are trying to cheat the algorithm, and in that case, they may place a manual penalty on your site that is incredibly hard to shake. Quality Link Building Strategies and Resources for Busy Business Owners and MarketersQuality link building services is a skilled and dedicated application of value and trusted link building to gain increased online trust within the search engines. When applying a link building strategy, one should be made aware that the fruits of this activity do not always happen immediately. This takes time and effort, and often the passage of time for search engines to crawl those newly available links. Page quality plays a key role in the ranking in Google searches. But besides writing blog posts, there are many ways to build good link quality and therefore increase rankings on SERPs. The benefits of Website Link BuildingOne important reason is that links point to your website pass its authority on within the search engine rankings. White hat link building tells Google your site is trustworthy and of value to others. Only the best links will do this, so what you want to find is a related website or another industry-relevant site. Building a network of high-quality, relevant links to a website is an essential part of any SEO strategy. Links that are too similar, or "low quality", can be detrimental to a site's rank on Google. However, when you find a website that is relevant and related to yours and that has an engaged audience who may find value in your content, it's time to reach out with an offer. There are other elements that are important as well. “Dofollow” is an important Link Building element. This means that if you have a link marked as “dofollow”, your site’s domain authority will be improved. However, building links from sources like competitors or social media sites can also have an effect on your domain authority. All relevant links help Google figure out your site’s usefulness, trustworthiness, and context.

Starting to look at SEO can feel intimidating and you may have a lot of questions so we decided to answer a few – starting with the most basic ones. What Is SEO?SEO is short for Search Engine Optimization, and it describes the process of ensuring that a webpage has the best chance of being seen by search engines and shown to searchers.

Starting to look at SEO can feel intimidating and you may have a lot of questions so we decided to answer a few – starting with the most basic ones. What Is SEO?SEO is short for Search Engine Optimization, and it describes the process of ensuring that a webpage has the best chance of being seen by search engines and shown to searchers. Increasing organic search results, and organic traffic from search engines, is the most reliable way to increase traffic to your site and has the most long term benefits. SEO can be broken down into sub-sections to simplify discussion – on page and off page -and working on each of these sections is just as important as working on your social media strategy, ad campaigns, and print exposure. What is On Page SEO vs Off Page SEO?On-page SEO refers to the practices that you can control on your own pages. The process includes – to name just a few - adding keywords to text and headings, meta descriptions, and organizing the page into a logical structure. Off page SEO refers to things that are not controllable on your own page and includes things like building a healthy link profile -aka how many backlinks your website has, and ensuring that your page has no duplicate content existing elsewhere which can have major implications for your website. How quickly does SEO kick in?SEO is not a quick fix; it is a long term strategy which requires significant dedication to pull off and patience to see the results from. Don’t be discouraged though! Unlike social media virality and ad campaigns which provide short term boosts to traffic, SEO can keep your site relevant and being shown to the right people on an ongoing basis. It is important, therefore, to employ SEO tactics that rely on ethical and proven approaches rather than out of date and eventually ineffective methods like keyword stuffing. Why bother with SEO for a local business instead of traditional advertising?At first glance, it can seem counter-intuitive to focus on online traffic when your business is locally focussed, however, passive advertising like television and bus stop banners require the potential customer to see the ad at some point and then remember it when they need your business. Online traffic on the other hand, is sought out by people actively seeking your service or website, and so making sure that your website is at the top of that list is the best way to get in front of those people seeking your business. Generally, improving a website’s SEO is a process which includes optimizing not only the new content that you create for your website, but also the old content that is already published on your website. By learning about best practices and optimizing both on and off page SEO, you can capitalise on the millions of searches happening every day. There is a lot of confusion out there about what makes for good or bad SEO and this can make it hard for website and business owners to get the right information – this is where hiring a digital marketing agency or SEO company can help you make progress with an SEO audit and SEO campaign plan. What is an SEO Audit?An SEO audit is, essentially, a search engine optimization informed analysis of your website. Depending on if you are looking for comprehensive or purely technical SEO audit, you will receive different information. After analysing your website, the specialist will compile a report that identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the website’s SEO. With these strengths and weaknesses in mind, you and your SEO specialist can focus on improving the SEO weaknesses and capitalizing on the strengths. Why is an SEO Strategy Important?Having an SEO strategy is important not only because it will, done correctly, increase the sheer amount of people who will see your website with an increase in organic traffic but also, and more importantly, it will be shown to people who are actually looking for what your website has. By optimizing your website correctly, the search engines will be showing your site to people who need it, which means the people coming to your website are primed for your content and therefore more likely to convert. Finding the Right SEO AgencyOften digital marketing companies will offer SEO services, and while many of these offers are perfectly fine quality it is always a good idea to make sure that whatever type of SEO service that you are signing on for is using good and proven techniques to optimize your page. The basics of good SEO apply broadly across company types, however, what works for a food blog will not work in the same way for a law firm. Finding the right SEO company to provide you with a website SEO audit can make a huge impact on your search traffic and therefore how many people see your website. What can an SEO Audit Company offer me?An SEO audit company provides a report, known as an SEO audit, by going through your site and finding out where your pages rank already and what can be done to improve those standings. The actual contents of that audit will change depending on the type of audit -a comprehensive SEO overview, technical issues, or just general advice. The main benefit you gain from engaging an SEO audit company is the advantage of having an up to date and well informed specialist go through your site and point out exactly where the site can be improved without having to stay up to date or well informed yourself. In a regularly changing arena like SEO and digital marketing simply staying up to date takes dedication and focus – when you engage an SEO specialist you are getting all the benefits of that dedication without having to spend the hours on learning it yourself. How do I choose the best SEO audit company for me?Finding the right SEO company to help you take your website from an expense to an asset requires two main things to consider. What they offer:First and foremost, look at what is offered in their reports. Make sure that the things they focus on are areas that you would find useful. Their expertise:Make sure that you are hiring someone who really knows their stuff – having a broad range of experience in SEO is a major advantage because they are then able to tailor their work to your niche or industry.

Some brands will do really well with funny videos where others lean into informational tutorials or training in their area of expertise. Some brands choose to highlight their products in informational videos or to give the viewer a hint of the ambience their brand inspires. The right content is whatever works for your brand and your customer! Just make sure the content is appropriate for the message you want to give and mostly, consider VIDEO SEO. Why is having corporate video important?  When it comes to corporate video production NZ is used to seeing some of the best corporate videos. Your corporate video needs to be top quality. It should reflect the service quality and level of your company. Where to start with corporate video production services At Net Branding, we will start with a basic discussion of your idea and your company, brainstorm a few ideas from their range and work from there. The best thing to do is to be clear with your ideas, and open to the expertise of the company. As a corporate video provider, we look for tone match your brand and deliver work which will vibe with your style. What should a corporate video cost? Corporate video pricing will vary on what exactly is included and every project will require different things. For example, if you were to find a corporate video production company who took care of every single aspect from storyboarding, recruiting actors, paying actors, filming on location, use of drones and distribution – those corporate video production costs will be far higher than a corporate video shoot on its own, or a standalone editing package. Every company will host its own range of corporate video services, and each will price their corporate video production process differently. So, in short – the cost for corporate video depends entirely on what level of service you are looking for and the best way to work out how much you will need to budget for corporate video costs is to get a quote for your exact needs! At Net Branding, we can discuss the type of video your brand requires and the budget your company has, in order to deliver the best for you.

Start Here ### What is the cost to build a website for a small business? Like many things in business, a simple answer is ‘as much as you want to spend’ when it comes to the cost to build a website. It all depends on three things – your expectations, your budget, and your time. If you have a lot of time to do it yourself and less money to spend, your costs can come in around $1,000. However, if you want to spend less time on the website and have more budget you can spend over $10,000. You cannot, however, expect a $10,000 website to cost $1,000. Balancing these things will help you build a website that meets the requirements of your business in regards to size and complexity. Option 1: Hire the ProfessionalsWhen you hire the professional website development company you get a lot of value back on what you spend in terms of reliability, experience, and time. Professional website designers tend to charge between $3,000 - $6,000 for a modern, functional, and professional website. Website costs for a small business can go upwards of $10,000 if there a huge number of pages or a complex site structure is required. Page VolumeThe number of pages your site needs will impact your website costs. If the package you have chosen includes 10 pages but you need 25, expect $100/extra page. Every professional will have a different method of calculating this, so make sure you are clear what you need before starting the work! Site LayoutGenerally, websites are customised from templates. This is a fantastic thing because themes and templates can cut $10,000 - $15,000 from the costs, which keeps the average cost for small business websites around $3,000 - $6,000. Starting a site from scratch would be like planting a tree in order to build a table instead of going to a timber yard! Visual EffectsHaving custom graphics, video, and photography makes your site 100% yours, but this all comes at a cost. Custom photography and videos require special editing software, as well as the time and skills of a graphic designer. Bespoke ProgrammingMany ‘out-of-the-box’ plug ins work fantastically, especially if your website doesn’t need anything special. However, many plug ins do not work the way you need them to and can actually damage your site. Having a professional website development company with the experience to write custom programming can turn a midlevel site into a phenomenal user experience – from simpler sites all the way up to a complex custom auction site. RevisionsSometimes, first time is the charm. More often than not, there needs to be a discourse between site owner and site developer. Most packages will come with a set number of revisions, and usually any revisions beyond that will add to the overall cost. SEO Search Engine Optimisation is an integral part of your site and an important part of the cost to build a website – your customers need to be able to find you! This is a vast and constantly changing field, having a professional on your side can be a game changer! RevisionsSometimes, first time is the charm. More often than not, there needs to be a discourse between site owner and site developer. Most packages will come with a set number of revisions, and usually any revisions beyond that will add to the overall cost. Option 2: Try It YourselfIt can be done. How well it can be done relies entirely on the amount of time and effort you are able to put in and this way you can always reduce the cost to build a website. Domain NameThis is your address, getting your .com registered can sometimes be included with your hosting (see below) but there are dozens of providers all with different prices. HostingIf your site is the showroom and the domain is the address, hosting is the piece of land those are on. Hosting companies have their own packages and these can change. Hosting levels dictate site speed, site size, monthly visitors, and site security. SSL CertificateSSL Certificates might be included with hosting or cost extra, but they are a requirement. Most browsers will show a ‘unsafe website’ warning if the SSL Certificate is invalid or expired – and you don’t want that! ThemeWhen building your own website costs for the theme can add up, because you want a reliable and professional visual site. These can cost anywhere up to $400 for a lifetime licence. Plug InsFree plug ins can be great, but they can also wreak havoc on your site if it isn’t updated regularly. Reliable premium plug ins are the best way to go. PhotosUnless you’re a photographer with a library of relevant photos you will need to subscribe to a stock website, or buy what you need for $50 - $200. This should be simple but copyright is a complicated field and stock websites can have their problems. Stock photo scams are not uncommon, and using random photos from the internet is not ok, legal, or safe as the rightful owner can require back payment! TrainingSEO, copyright, basic programming, cyber security – these things are always changing and therefore you will need to stay on top of them on an ongoing basis. This is in addition to basic skills like Photoshop, file management, HTML coding. These training costs are on going if you want to keep your site up to date and stylish. Ongoing Website CostsJust like the true cost of a house isn’t just the bricks and walls, it’s the land tax and rates as well – websites have annual costs like hosting, licencing, cyber security. SEOSEO has hundreds of thousands of words written on it, it is a full-time job for many people. Additionally, many ‘drag and drop’ website providers are notoriously bad for SEO. Dealing with hiresSay you DIY, but with help for the things you don’t want to do yourself. Do you have the skills to manage those people you are employing? How to know what they are saying is correct? This extra stress is taken away when you hire a professional website development company. Your Time What is your time worth? Do you want to spend a few weeks learning and setting up your site? Add on weekly hours to maintain and update your site. Hours that could be spend on other things in your business. Hours you could have as free time. Hours that could be delegated. Pros of Hiring a Professional and investing in the cost to build a websiteYou don’t have to spend weeks learning, executing, and maintaining the site.You’ll get a gorgeous site that actually works – on all devices too!Professional visuals.Custom programming for your ideal site.Security!SEO can be included.Pros of DIYYou learn new skillsLess expensive in the short termHire or DIY?The monetary the cost to build a website for a small business is only half the battle. Unless you’re extremely tech savvy with tonnes of free time – hire someone. They take the headache - and heartache - out of site management and free up hours for you to dedicate to yourself or other aspects of your business. In Conclusion… Hire the Professional! Just because you can technically do something yourself, doesn’t mean it’s the best idea. You can spend days and weeks working out how to do it yourself, or trust someone who has all the skills and can create an incredible website for you without the drama! If you do it yourself every aspect has to go right, but when you hire a professional you only need one thing to go right – choosing the professional.

Luckily, there are plenty of straightforward strategies you can use to increase your rankings. Affordable classes and tools can help you learn the basics of video optimization, while advanced solutions can give you real results in minutes.

Before you start, there are a few things to consider. When you're ready to create your video, don't jump right in! Take some time to research what your competitors are doing. Look at the length of their videos and the topics they cover. Once you have a good understanding of what's out there, it's time to start planning your own video.

This means considering the keywords you use, as well as the elements and factors that will help your video show up in search indexes. After all, you want maximum impact.

Ultimately, whether you're trying to increase sales or simply share some exciting news, the key is to keep things simple and concise. Competitive analysis can also help with planning, whether you're figuring out the right video length or where to promote your videos on other If you don't define your goals in the early stages, not only will the video end up costing you (or your client) a hefty chunk of money, but it will also be money down the drain that could have been spent better elsewhere. (Source: neilpatel.com) Let's discuss The Bonus Additionally, having a video that can be created into SHORTS or REELS for social media platforms can also help to grow visibility. By engaging with users online through comments and posts, you can create a loyal customer base that will share your content on their own and in turn, redirect engaged searchers to your Youtube channel. Google wants to know if your video piques the interest of your audience. How many people are viewing it? How many of them leave comments after watching the video? If there are many social shares, that is a great sign of engagement too. Google’s only objective while crawling content using its search algorithm is to serve content that its audience is looking for. When there is a lot of engagement for your video, Google thinks that it is a direct result of how useful the content in your video is. Therefore, it will naturally give your video more weightage in its search engine results. You can use email marketing, and social media to showcase your videos to more of your target market who will engage with them. Consider this Video and Content Engagement Tip. By creating shorter videos that summarise your blog or product content, you can use video marketing across multiple channels. A 1-minute explainer video about a blog post you just published - would you like one? Embedding it in the blog post itself as rich media, posting it on your social accounts with a link back to the original post, and cross-publishing on your YouTube account with in-video cards pointing to the post and/or other products or offers mentioned in the content are effective ways to increase visibility. Beyond Video Ranking, What can you do to increase your video's visibility? Having a presence on social media platforms can also help to grow visibility. Additionally, it is a great way to increase brand awareness. By interacting with users online through your crafted visual content, you can establish a loyal customer base that may share your video content on their own social channels. Video that not only engages visually but also shared online resources such as your website URL will lead to an increase in traffic to your site, which in turn increases the chances of ranking higher in SERPs. Additionally, social media marketing can be an effective way to advertise products and services by targeting specific audiences based on user interests or demographics. This not only drives traffic but also helps build relationships with customers and allows businesses to get real-time feedback from their audience and customers. Tip - When creating video content - create focused content rather than re-optimising past content. Your video can be laser-targeted for that keyword by doing it this way. It's probable that it will rank higher than older video material that's only partially optimized around that term. Double Dip - Embed an optimised video on your website. For your own page where you’ve embedded the third-party player, you may also include these pages in your video sitemaps. Check with your video host to ensure they allow Google to fetch your video content file; for example, this is supported by YouTube for public videos. This will allow Google to fetch your video content files and possibly rank the videos on Google as well. Consider using a Video Ranking Service These services offer advanced strategies designed to increase your rankings and promote real results. With affordable pricing, you can ensure that your video-created content does not disappear into the depth of Youtube never to be seen again.

So, building digital trust is the key to building confidence in your product or service in today's digital age Why you need to worry about building digital trustA study by Wedevs found that trust is the overriding factor that determines whether a visitor will purchase from you or not. Building trust with customers will translate to better customer acquisition, greater customer loyalty, and, therefore, more revenue - no matter what business or service you offer. So, it's not something you want to ignore. But, what is digital trust?If you Google "digital trust meaning" you'll find this digital trust definition by Gartner.com - "Digital trust underpins every digital interaction by measuring and quantifying the expectation that an entity is who or what it claims to be and that it will behave in an expected manner" Put more simply, building digital trust refers to the confidence your consumers have that your online presence is authentic and secure. Building a digital world consumers can trust - how your business can stand outRegulations around data security, privacy and keeping up with site security have often been seen as a cost of business. But in today's digital world, investing in digital trust should be seen as more of an enabler of business - helping you to stand out from your peers. Digital opportunity trust. Here's a handy acronym to keep in mind:T - TRUE TO YOUR WORD - Every interaction with your business should deliver what it promises. So, whether your client clicks through from a PPC ad, or from an organic SEO listing, your digital content should deliver results that are in line with expectations. No click bait, no shady redirects, just quality content. R - RESPONSIVE AND DEPENDABLE - Trust is built when you respond authentically to your customers. So, be responsive to online reviews, reply to those blog post comments and answer those email enquiries. U - USER EXPERIENCE - Once a customer has connected with your business, is the user experience a continuous process? Every interaction, from a web enquiry to phone calls and in-person service, should create a consistent client experience. S - SECURITY AND SAFETY - Your client needs to feel reassured that it's safe to transact on your website, or enquire about a service. You need to prove that you're reliable - you are what you say you are and do what you say you do - and that privacy and data security are taken seriously. T - TRUST - Don’t underrate it or underestimate the real cost of losing trust with your customers.

SEO - What is SEO? Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) refers to the various methods used to increase traffic to your website by lifting its page ranking in the various search engines. The higher the ranking the easier it is for people to find your website using search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo! and others. Various methods are used to achieve this, including things like ensuring your website architecture makes it easy for visitors to find content, making sure the site is mobile-friendly, ensuring that pages load quickly, improving the quality of your site’s content and ensuring it’s rich in the relevant keywords that people use for search. LINK BUILDING - What is link building and how does it work? Link building is the process of acquiring links (sometimes also called hyperlinks) from other websites to your own, especially from other high-quality and trusted websites. Link building is an important part of your SEO methodology because securing quality inbound links that drive targeted traffic to your website is a great way for achieving higher rankings in the various search engines. There are many ways to build such links – for example, if you create really great content (viral-worthy content) then other websites will want to link to your content, or you could guest post on other’s blogs, or you could publish newsworthy articles that others find interesting and want to link to. SOCIAL MEDIA -  What is social media? The term ‘social media’ refers to the collection of online communication channels that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking. There are many social media channels, with some of the more prominent being the likes of Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Google+ and LinkedIn. Posting useful updates about your business or field of speciality, talking about special promotions or starting conversations on these networks are now crucial ways for engaging with your audience and building loyalty to your brand. WEBSITE REDESIGN - How do you create a great website? In today’s digital world, the look and feel of a website, the ease with which people can navigate around it (including from their mobile device) and find what they are looking for, and the quality of the content on the site is extremely important. In the case of a business website, this can even mean the difference between the success or failure of the business itself. However, if you’ve had your business website for a while, chances are it’s more out of date than you might think. No website should keep any content that is not bringing in traffic. Content that is out of date or has the wrong keywords associated with it will lead to a decline in traffic to your website. Undertaking a website redesign can help make your site fresh and new again, and, in the long run, save you time, money and effort by identifying and fixing existing problems throughout the site. However, redesigning a website is more than merely updating information and changing the colour scheme. A website redesign should also include an analysis of the content and your target audience so that the website can be redesigned specifically to meet their needs and make it as accessible to them as possible. PPC - What is PPC and Googe Ads? Pay-per-click or PPC (sometimes also known as cost-per-click or CPC) is a mode of internet marketing in which advertisers pay a relatively small fee each time one of their ads is clicked. Advertising on major search engines, such as Google, is one of the most popular forms of PPC. In this case, a PPC ad will be those small text ads that you see pop up around your search results on Google which we often refer to as Google Ads. Then, every time your ad is clicked, directing a visitor to your website, you pay Google a small fee. Essentially, it’s a way of buying visits to your website, rather than attempting to ‘earn’ them organically. It’s often also a very easy way to generate a positive (and measurable) return on your advertising investment. COPYWRITING OR CONTENT MARKETING - Is great quality content important? The ultimate aim of any copywriting is to get a reader to take a specific action – for example, subscribing to your email list, calling you for more information or even making a purchase. Content marketing, on the other hand, is about creating content with a marketing purpose in mind – and the better your content, the more people will want to engage with it and the higher the various search engines will rank it. The key to content marketing is having high-quality content, which is content that is useful, valuable and/or entertaining to your audience. However, having quality content without good copywriting is a waste of good content – and having good copywriting that isn’t backed up with quality content is a waste of good copy. Striking the right balance between the two will, however, make all the difference when it comes to building large, loyal followings for your brand. MEDIA BUYING - What is media buying? Establishing an online presence and identity is one of the most important things that any business can do today. While there are many different forms of marketing available to enable this, one of the most popular is through media buying. With media buying, you buy advertising space on other prominent, quality websites for a set time or budget. In this way, you are, in effect, piggy-backing off those websites’ established audiences to help drive more traffic to your own website. Depending on the site on which you do your media buy, and the timing and targeting of your ad, this could be a fantastic way to boost the scale of your advertising campaign to secure a huge amount of traffic. EMAIL MARKETING Ever since the birth of the Internet, email marketing has been an essential tool for business. Email marketing is a form of direct marketing that uses highly targeted email to communicate commercial messages that contain a compelling call to action to a specific audience. No matter what you’re selling, email marketing is a great way to build on your relationship with your customers and increase sales, all at a relatively low cost when compared with the cost of other forms of advertising. GOOGLE ANALYTICS Do you have a website for your business, or perhaps you write a business blog? Do you want to know how many people are visiting your website and what content they like the most? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you need Google Analytics – Google’s free, most widely used web analytics service. Google Analytics tells you about your website in terms of things such as the traffic, clicks, engagement, conversions, SEO, ad revenue and much more. All this information helps you build a very effective picture of what’s working and what’s not, which enables you to tweak your content and your online marketing campaigns so they become more effective. LOCAL SEO More and more searchers, especially those who search using their mobile devices, are looking for local businesses, i.e. businesses that are close to them. With local SEO you can help your business stand out in the search engine result pages (SERPs), enabling you to promote your products or services to local customers when they’re looking for your type of business. Local SEO uses key phrases on your website that are relevant to your services and your location, such as name, address, phone number and customer reviews, to help you rise to the top of SERPs. WEBSITE CONVERSION ANALYSIS Increasing the traffic to your website is all well and good, but the ultimate goal of all your effort is to ensure that your visitors take some or other specific action once they land on your page(s). In other words, it’s about ensuring that all-important customer ‘conversion’, because that’s the driving force behind increasing sales and revenue. This is where conversion rate optimisation (CRO) can help. CRO is the process of ensuring your website is built in such a way that it encourages and facilitates the act of conversion. Doing a website conversion analysis will evaluate things like web page usability, conversion rate, content and aesthetics in order to identify possible issues that may be driving away customers, and determine potential areas for improvement.

Website Development and Website security.Why do we need website security?In our real world, we consider security for banks and buildings. This builds barriers to entry and access and is usually determined during construction or fit-out of the bank or building premise. Once completed, this build project will include a secure facility, gates, walls, a secured entry and much of this certainly doesn’t change much over time. Often, we consider our website security in much the same way, we implement good security policies and controls and thereafter much doesn’t change over the passage of time. Vulnerability knowledge and security fixesBut the reality is that software is built to the best secure standard but over time, vulnerabilities become apparent and new releases of the underpinning website technology e.g WordPress are created. This cycle becomes never ending as new vulnerabilities are found in the revised software versions and again new versions of this software are released to fix those vulnerabilities. Our website security offer on all our Net branding business websites focuses on1. We include walls to block hackers from exploiting security holes and update this protection regularly 2. We protecting your website and regularly scanning your website for malware Our website security approachWhen we create a business website, our website security software solution is offered to you for a small monthly fee.

That distinction defines who we are and how we help businesses grow in an always-on world. “Key Differences” Table or Comparison Traditional Agencies Net Branding Started as web design, print, or advertising firms Started as a digital marketing agency Evolved into digital services over time Built for digital from the ground up in 2008 Added SEO, social, and search later Founded on SEO, social media, and Google tools Often retrofit strategies to digital platforms Create strategies natively aligned with digital behaviour Digital was a transition Digital is our DNA At Net Branding, we’re proud to have been among the very first agencies in New Zealand built entirely for the digital age. From day one in 2008, our focus has been clear: social media, SEO, Google, and digital strategy. We weren’t born out of print, design, or media — we were born in digital, for digital. That difference still defines us While many agencies evolved into digital, Net Branding was created for it. We were founded in 2008 — in the era of Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google — with digital strategy, SEO, and online visibility at our core. We’re one of New Zealand’s first true digital agencies, and we’ve stayed focused on results ever since. FAQWhat makes Net Branding different? We were born digital in 2008. Other agencies added online later. Digital is our DNA. How long have you been helping brands online? Over 15 years. We’ve guided New Zealand and global clients since social media and Google first took off. Which services do you focus on? SEO, GEO, AEO, social media and paid search. Digital strategy and analytics, i.e. decisions are data-driven. Web development built for growth. Meet Cathy MellettGet StartedWe have been around for a while.

Claim Your Free Digital Marketing ConsultationAre you serious about building an online brand?Frequently Asked Questions Ask a questionIs Search Engine Submission Necessary? The simple answer is no, a search engine submission isn’t necessary. The majority of search engines, notably Google, crawl and index pages by following links. By that logic, a single inbound link from any previously indexed page will identify your page to the engine. Can Any Inbound Linking Hurt My Ranking? The answer is clear and simple: No, inbound linking cannot hurt your search ranking. If inbound were to hurt your rank, your competitors would continually link to your site from link farms. Such a scenario is beyond your control. For this reason, Google cannot penalize your site for any inbound linking. How Do I Make My Site Search Engine Friendly? The best way to make your site more search engine friendly is often to simply add more text. The content must add value and be on topic, but the addition will create a new set of keywords and phrases for the search engines to crawl. Think of these terms as new ‘gateways’ for the engines - the injection of text will provide new doorways for traffic. What’s The Deal With Paid Search Submissions? Many SEO companies offer paid search submissions but beware: It doesn’t cost a penny to get indexed by the major search engines. And it shouldn’t cost you anything, either. In fact, you don’t even need to submit your site to search engines. Are Blogs Good for SEO? Whether blogs are good for SEO purposes is actually irrelevant--the content is key. Blogs are simply publishing platforms. Having said that, the ability to produce high quality content on an ongoing basis can be made much easier by leveraging blog software - especially for the for non-technical user. More about SEO: Inbound linking is very important. In fact, acquiring back-links may be the most important thing in SEO. Nonetheless, a website owner shouldn’t have to “scout” or “hunt” for links. If the presented content is interesting, useful, and/or important, there is a natural tendency among web users to share information.

Not only do businesses have unique company initiatives, the internet is also constantly evolving. https://netbranding.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/What-to-look-for-when-hiring-a-digital-marketing-company-.mp4 So what should you look for when hiring a digital marketing company? Digital Strategy: An online marketing company should have thorough understanding, experience and management of the resources and tools responsible for the publication of regular content through your social media channels.  This is more than a community manager.  You need someone who understands the channels your target audience is currently using.  Someone who knows the nuances and context for each of these channels will be able to drive your message across the various channels effectively. Project management: An online team that has the ability to manage and plan your continuous publishing schedule. Your digital marketing company must be able to develop and apply a broader strategic plan, rather than thinking about each online activity as a stand-alone campaign. Analytical: An ability to sift through the data and determine what is working online and what requires improvement. An online presence is created in an analytical, methodical and planned way, allowing for new techniques and tools to be included, and online trends assessed and integrated. Business Acumen: Understanding why you are doing what you are doing in an online environment is important. How are your online activities supporting the business or product goals? Content Strategy: A digital marketing company that knows how to turn an opportunity identified for an online strategic advantage, into actual content.  That content then needs to be effectively shared across multiple mediums.  They must ensure that all content shared is executed to optimise brand reach across the companies’ multiple online marketing channels.  They should also understand how to curate content if required, or how to scaffold new content to ensure ultimate online SEO goals are achieved. Inbound marketing or funnel marketing mind-set: Inbound marketing, content marketing and SEO are amind-set.  You need a digital marketing company with demonstrated understanding of search, social media and content marketing.  This includes a solid understanding of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).  They should also seek opportunities to create relevant and opportune content that attracts attention or, in lay speak, they should "think in keywords or key phrases". SEO: SEO is a strong consideration and activities associated with this service are driven by current website performance (SERP) and identified terminology used by searchers.  SEO covers multiple facets on your website and naturally content is a critical component.  However it is just one of various factors to be considered.  SEO techniques require a top down view of the site and as with scaffolding, all site elements get constructed with an end goal in mind. Humour: The online world is changing daily. Things are moving quickly. Think back to when you even coped without email. Life is rushed and we all work long hours. Often it is humour that can break down barriers and provide instant entertainment. A smile can take the stress away and become a memorable interaction with a brand or product. Humour is injects some creativity into your brand’s content strategy and online presence. Use it and add some creativity into your brand’s content strategy. A spark into your digital inbound marketing funnel. The people: Who are the people behind the company you choose?  Are you dealing with sales staff or the real people that will be responsible for your job?  Consider this: Perhaps you should assess a company for 'real' people.  People with digital and analytical experience who can reach an audience with some great content. Social Proof: Whilst smaller digital marketing agencies may not always have the time to focus on themselves, they are usually focused on looking after their client’s online profiles and infrastructure.Take a look at their online efforts: Do they have a Facebook page? Is it updated? Do they publish regular content to their blog or news channel? Have they got a YouTube channel? Do they have a twitter following? Are they on Pinterest? Often this is a learning area for these agencies. A presence in these channels is an indicator that they are passionate about delivering even greater results to their clients. We hope you found this list of 10 things to review when selecting a digital marketing company useful.  If you would like to chat to us about how we could assist you, please be in touch.

Email Media Marketing – An untapped marketing opportunity.Email Media MarketingThe Email Media Marketing RealityConsumers and businesses are inundated with email marketing messages. The majority of prospects or customers are already suffering from "marketing fatigue", so how do you win the attention of your targeted audience? For most marketers, email conjures up thoughts of campaign blasts, list building, segmentation, targeting and of course earning that coveted opt-in. But let’s suspend the outbound email conversation for a moment and turn our attention inward. It turns out that you don’t actually need an opt-in clause to reach 100% of your customers; it’s happening on a daily basis, and it’s often initiated by personal relationships between employees, customers, customer service reps and a variety of other functions that interact with the outside world. And the vast majority of those interactions are happening via email. Your existing employee email platform (Microsoft Exchange, Outlook, Google Apps, Lotus, etc.) is responsible for thousands of email communications with customers every week. Many of these customers haven’t opted-in to marketing messages, yet they will be engaged in highly relevant and intimate communications with employees in sales, service, and other functions. Why is Email Media Marketing so compelling?Reaching customers who haven’t opted in. In many cases customer communications and emails are either initiated by the customer and desired (for example, a request form more information or assistance) or based on existing relationships. As a result, email communications are welcomed and are more likely to become a digital dialog. Most importantly, the relationship- or customer-initiated contact means the customer doesn’t actually have to go through a formal opt-in process. These email / electronic communications provide a perfect vehicle (in an email header or footer graphic) to up-sell the customer, capture feedback, or generally enhance the service experience to increase customer satisfaction. What is more, many customer communications are initiated from email addresses that don’t even exist in the organizations CRM database. Customers are constantly changing email addresses or switching between personal and work email. Gleanster estimates that an average of 50% - 60% of inbound email requests from customers are unknown to the organization. By engaging email media, brand communications can be systematically inserted into employee email for hyper-targeted branding, promotion, and customer service experiences.

Are you looking for a local Search Engine Optimisation Company? Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). No matter what business you’re in, without people being aware of and buying your products or services, your business is doomed. The only way to ensure you gain more customers and sales is to be visible. That's when you require the services of a SEO company or SEO expert who has helped businesses just like yours. Why is Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and Local SEO so important for your business website? In today’s always-online world, your website is one of your most important, if not the most important, sales and brand awareness tools. It’s up to you to make sure you treat it as such. That's when Search Engine Optimisation (Search Engine Optimization) and local SEO becomes important. In fact, it has been said that it's actually better to have no website at all than to have one that makes your business look bad. That’s because your website speaks volumes about your business. Of course, we’ve already established the fact that not having a website these days is simply not an option. However, a website without visibility online presents another problem. What is SEO and how does it works? Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the process of optimising your website to get organic (this means unpaid/natural search traffic from the SERP. SERP is an acronym for Search Engine Results Page. A search engine will crawl or scan through your business websites. Google will also search through the websites and other digital profiles of your competitor. The search engine will then use its current search algorithm to determine which results, and therefore which business it should serve to a searcher when they search for a business or product like yours online. The ultimate goal for you and your business is to be there and be found when a searcher is searching for you or your service, or products. SEO companies will work with you to ensure your business website appears when your clients or potential clients are searching for your product or service. Net Branding Limited is a Search Engine Optimisation Expert. We can support you with Video SEO, Local SEO, and Organic SEO. The SEO experts in our team will provide you with an honest opinion as to whether we believe your website has the potential to rank. There are some website infrastructure tools that we will not support. Why? Because we know that they do not have the ability to rank organically for targeted search terms or keywords at all, particularly in highly competitive areas. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) always starts with your keywords Since the start of Net Branding, Keyword research has always formed the foundation of any new website development project and the starting point for any SEO Strategy. A keyword is a phrase that references what a Google searcher types when they are searching for you, your product or service. It may be a singular keyword or a keyword phrase.

You work hard in your business, you deserve a website that supports you whilst you are sleeping. How does SEO work?However, having a great-looking website with good content is only half the job done. You also have to ensure that your website can easily be found by the people searching for your particular product or service. This is where search engine optimization (optimisation) or SEO delivers the bacon. You will hear terms such as On-Page Optimisation, Off-Page Optimisation, Keyword Research and Analysis or local SEO. SEO includes a number of elements all aimed at optimising your website and its various pages for ‘discovery’ by the various search engines, such as Google, Bing, Yahoo! and others. The more the search engines like what they see on your website, the higher they will rank it, which will result in more traffic (a lot more traffic) to your website. However, optimising your website for the search engines requires an understanding of how they find and process information about websites. The best place to start is with an audit of your website to identify its strengths and weaknesses from the point of view of a search engine. The outcome will most likely require you to make changes to things such as, but not limited to, the following: Your website content Search engines like high-quality fresh content, i.e. content that’s useful, interesting or entertaining to searchers. They know what searchers like, so if they like what they discover on your website then they will rank it accordingly. Your website code This is the behind-the-scenes ‘stuff’ that helps search engines understand what your business is all about and how your website operates. Your inbound links Search engines view links as referrals, so the more referrals they see to your website from other highly regarded websites, the higher they will rank yours. Of course, other sites won’t link to you if they don’t think your content is worth it. So we’re back to the all-important matter of high-quality content. No wonder they say “content is king”! The architecture of your website (or Technical SEO) And the speed with which pages load. Search engines like to see that searchers will be able to navigate your site easily and quickly to be able to find what they’re looking for. They also want to see that your website is mobile-friendly. Optimising your website for the search engines is not a set-and-forget exercise. The digital world is fast-paced. People are fickle and change their preferences at the drop of the proverbial hat. The search engines know this too! So they are in a constant state of update and change. If you want to give your business the online presence it deserves and needs, you’ll have to keep up with the search engines by constantly tweaking your website’s SEO. Of course, you’ve also got a myriad of things to deal with in the day-to-day running of your business, so you’re going to need support to keep your website optimised for the search engines. This is where our digital marketing and SEO Agency can help you with technical on page and off page SEO services.

Off-page SEO refers to factors outside your own site, primarily building quality backlinks from other websites linking to yours, social signals, brand mentions and other external indicators of authority and trust. A strong SEO strategy needs both in balance. Q2: How long does SEO take to show resultsA2: It depends on the competition, existing site health, domain authority and how proactive your efforts are. In less competitive sectors, you might see some movement in 3 to 6 months. In more competitive markets, it can take 6 to 12 months or longer to reach top rankings. SEO is a long-term strategy, and ongoing refinement is essential. Q3: How do I choose the right keywords for my businessA3: Keyword selection starts with understanding your customers and the phrases they actually search for. Use tools like Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, or SEMrush to assess search volume, competition and relevance. Begin with core keywords, then expand into long tail variations. Also consider the intent, whether users are looking for information comparison or are ready to buy. Aim for a mix of high volume and lower competition terms to gain quicker visibility. Q4: What makes a backlink good in SEOA4: A good backlink comes from a relevant, authoritative and trustworthy website. The linking page should be topically related or contextually relevant to your content. The link should appear natural, not obviously paid or manipulated, and ideally be placed within the content rather than in a footer or sidebar. A diverse link profile with varied anchor text and high-quality sources is key to strong SEO performance. Q5: How does technical SEO impact search rankingsA5: Technical SEO involves your site’s infrastructure, including architecture, crawling, indexing, page speed, mobile responsiveness, structured data canonical tags, XML sitemaps, redirects, schema markup and eliminating duplicate content. If technical issues prevent Google from properly accessing or understanding your pages, your content and backlinks won’t be as effective. Solid technical SEO is essential as a foundation. Q6: What is Local SEO and why is it important for small businessesA6: Local SEO focuses on improving visibility in geographically specific searches, such as plumber in London. It includes optimising your Google Business Profile local directory listings, consistent contact information, local keywords, customer reviews localised content and earning backlinks from nearby sources. For small location-based businesses, Local SEO can drive high-intent local traffic and boost footfall or calls. Q7: Should I do SEO and PPC simultaneouslyA7: Yes, using SEO and PPC together often delivers stronger results. PPC can bring immediate traffic while SEO builds long-term organic visibility. They complement each other; for example, PPC data can inform your SEO keyword strategy, and SEO can improve your landing pages for better PPC performance. When integrated effectively, both channels can drive better return on investment. Q8: How do I measure SEO success or ROIA8: Important metrics include increases in organic traffic, keyword ranking improvements, conversions from organic visits, new leads or sales from search engines, bounce rates, pages per session and revenue per visitor. More advanced tracking might include attribution models, assisted conversions, and customer lifetime value. Regular monthly or quarterly reports help you track progress and refine your approach. Q9: What are common SEO mistakes to avoidA9: Some frequent SEO mistakes include Keyword stuffing or over-optimising Duplicate content without proper canonical tags Failing to optimise for mobile devices Slow page load speeds or oversized images Weak internal linking structures Gaining low-quality or spammy backlinks Missing meta tags, alt text or structured data Letting content go outdated or thin Treating SEO as a one-off project rather than an ongoing process Q10: How much does hiring an SEO agency costA10: Costs vary depending on the level of service competition in your industry, site size, and the services included, such as technical SEO, content strategy, link building or local SEO. In New Zealand, typical monthly retainers might range from NZD 1000 to 3000 for small to mid-sized businesses, with larger or more competitive sectors requiring more. Always request case studies, clear deliverables and discuss return on investment expectations before engaging an agency. Q11: Can I do SEO on my ownA11: Yes, you can definitely start SEO yourself, especially if you’re a small business or just launching online. There are many free and affordable tools to support keyword research, content writing, technical audits and tracking performance. However, SEO can become complex and time-consuming as your website grows. If you’re serious about scaling results or competing in a tough market, working with a professional SEO agency can be a smart investment.

Do we really know? Powerful Online Activity – PR vs marketing? Do we really know?Public relations (PR) is about growing the name of the company and strengthening its perception / relationship with the public or target audience. In fact, one definition for PR is “a strategic communication process that builds mutually beneficial relationships between organizations and their publics.” PR is earned. You have convinced media reporters or newspaper editors to write a positive story about you or your brand. Yes, your story is more credible because it has been verified by a third-party. But doesn’t social media fulfil a similar role? The old adage is that the "P" and the "R" in public relations stand for performance and recognition. Good relationships are genuine. But we can build those relationships in an online space as well. Marketing on the other hand gets specific – looking to educate and add value to customers, clients, and partners. Marketing, however, is “the activities and processes for creating, communicating, delivering and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large.” It has been said that: “Marketing and Advertising is what you pay for whereas PR and publicity is what you pray for.” Strategic | Targeted | Compelling | Co-ordinated PR and Online MarketingWe understand that both PR and Marketing are valuable however, public relations (PR) is often not strong enough to stand alone. Often a positive perception is generally not enough to measurably increase your company’s sales. Perhaps, public relations could be better considered as an integral part of your company’s marketing strategy? PR vs. marketing? Do we really know? Along comes the online world... A world of websites, online marketing, social media, new sales funnels and SEO. Where does paid and owned media fit into this evolving question of PR vs Marketing? Let’s take a closer look. Paid media – Marketing. Examples include print, radio and television advertising. Depending on the organisation, paid media can play a major role in your marketing campaign strategy and can consume most of a marketing budget. But in an online marketing world, you could refocus on Google Adwords or Social Media advertising and your budget may well extend much further. Owned media – Examples include websites, blogs and Facebook profiles. Whilst I’d even question if Facebook is an owned media I’ve included it within this category. (See blog Post). It is still unestablished as to whether marketing or PR holds the key to this evolving online owned media kingdom. There is so much overlap in the tools and tactics available for use in online PR and Internet marketing. The real key is in the way each tool or tactic is used in those different capacities. The way each tool or tactic is used to reach different audiences for different reasons. "We understand that Online Marketing and PR can be an awesome, low-cost solution for making more people aware of your brand or website but, it requires a lot of effort and hard-work. There are no shortcuts. Do we stop whilst we address the PR vs. Marketing question? I think not. Digital marketing allows you to become an authority, it builds trust and credibility and yes it is a very powerful funnelling mechanism in this new online age."  Cathy Mellett – Net Branding® Be Seen, Be Heard, Be Found Online™.Our web development experts are able to assist with the designed and development of your business web site.

Great communication, A+ for their serviceSammi LiangWhen we asked for an analysis of a few websites, we got way more than we were expecting. We thought it would be a simple - "this one performs, that one doesn't" type thing - instead we got a full in depth, no holds barred report, within the timeframe needed and under budget. We also got a plan for repairs and maintenance going forward so we can make business decisions with confidence in our online presence. Would highly recommend the Net Branding team.Sue WaltonCathy and the team have provided me with an invaluable audit of my website and various Social Media platforms I use for HerbertandWilks Jewellery. The discussion and resulting report has revealed the areas that I can improve on and the areas that I can ask for help on and where to go. Having a working website and using the various social media platforms effectively that delivers on visibility and ease of use in a cluttered online world is increasingly difficult. I came away from this exercise with a real sense of direction - cant recommend this enough. Many thanks.Sally Herbert (HerbertandWilksJewellery)Cathy and her team are some of the most responsive professionals I have ever met in their field. They listen, care, create real strategies and pave a way to real results.

Keep doing what you are doing. ☺️ ☺️ ☺️Jayne AlbistonNetbranding agreed to look into my rather complex situation. They were very honest from the point go.... They did not over promise and under deliver like so many other companies. They are onto it and very responsive. They pull every resource and don’t give up. They advise, assist and re-evaluate where my company is every step of the way. I have dealt with many companies in this field and can honestly say that they win hands down. Committed, honest and professional. Always available to answer a question or to guide me through the process. If you are fed up with most companies in this field, don’t continue to rob yourself or your business - give this guys a call today!

We have use them for all our Digital Marketing. They are brilliant. With their SEO services, the leads to our company website have increased. We've even been able to reduce our Google Adwords spending. They also help us with all our Facebook and Social Media activities. We have used many digital marketing companies before them and they are certainly a cut above the rest.Sarah MullerIn the last week I cannot praise the team at Net Branding highly enough. They are truly - the be Seen, Be Heard, Be Found Digital Marketing Agency to use.Steven DonagueIn the last week Great session on SEO optimisation, heaps of helpful tips and tricks shared.Tania Bennett-Davies In the last week Awesome session on SEO optimisation. Full of such amazing information. Thanks so much. Kiri & Craig HiderCathy Mellett really knows her stuff. She sorted out problems I was having with my online profile in no time. She has great ideas and represents excellent value for money. You can rely on Cathy for your personal and/or company brand profiling and/or internet presence. People like Cathy are rare - she knows what she is doing but won't cost you an arm and a leg!Cherri Holland, Institute Fellow at Institute for Digital TransformationCathy Mellett is an expert in her field and I fully recommend her. Cathy Mellett has set up our social networking sites and blog and provided effective training and site overview during our orientation phase. Her approach demonstrates experience and knowledge that has given us tremendous confidence.Mary Vinsen, Intelligent property managers who understand your investment needsCathy Mellett came to me highly recommended and was fantastic from our initial meeting to the implementation of our Brand Strategy. She helped and assisted me with all my queries and questions and I absolutely wholeheartedly recommend her. I will most certainly be engaging Cathy Mellett on a continual basis to assist me in all my Net Branding activity. Thanks a million.Helen Osborne, Human Resources Manager & Fashion WriterCathy Mellett took over a mess created elsewhere and put things right. She made me a priority in her busy schedule so that I could progress with facebook after a frustrating delay. Her knowledge of the subject is sound and her delivery excellent.Peter Flannery Cathy Mellett did an amazing job on bringing all our Social Media together. Now I do one blog and it gets published in all these places at once. She also went through great depth to find something that would suit inside our business rules as a franchise. My internet awareness has picked up from 0 - 100% and already people are mentioning my website as a reference. (The didn't before Net Branding came along) She walked the extra mile...without us asking Melissa Smit, Director at 101 Fitness I have been using Cathy Mellett of Net Branding for around 6 months now. I have previously used other companies for my website design and SEO and so am able to compare the digital marketing service I have from Net Branding with others. Thankfully Auckland company, Net Branding far outweighs other companies service, SEO expertise and design, not to mention ongoing advice and suggestions. I cannot recommend Cathy and her company enough. www.luxuryholidaycompany.co.nz Carolyn Hedley, DirectorI have had the pleasure of engaging Cathy Mellett and Net Branding Ltd skills into our company to give an old web site a makeover and transform it into a super engine for future advancement – however wanting it all to remain the same as I know how it works. I was not a willing candidate with the process and what seemed a simple task never went quite right and time was always against us. Cathy Mellett had very little to work with – just the basics and a hesitant not up to date customer in IT who resisted the changes and found it all overwhelming – just wanted to make sales. Well with small steps, encouragement, patience, understanding and a loyal stubbornness she guided us through the process of reloading and creating a great website. Simple with a punch. Yes she was concerned when in the site on WordPress we deleted things we shouldn’t have, got confidence to change things in areas because you could, only to take out settings or some relevant formula needed! The difference with Net Branding Ltd and Cathy Mellett is her business is not all about IT and treating you like a number, its personal. She cares, she’s interested to listen to your requirements and limits and work with you. IT and marketing is today the most powerful tool used. The 80’s child looks at the concept of business in a different way and I accept you need to keep up to date and embrace modern technology to achieve this. You learn very quickly to leave this work to the experts who can deliver and she does. I am extremely grateful for this task to be completed for me to where it is as this company has sold and she will guide the new owner to the next level. I will be using her again shortly for another site and could not speak more highly of her efforts with us and would not hesitate to recommend herself and her company to anyone who wants to receive that good old fashion approach of caring about your customer and delivering!Rose Davey I'm delighted that Cathy Mellett, and the team at Net Branding, have rebuilt my online presence and manage many aspects of my digital marketing. I kick myself that I've been paying out over $150 per month hosting to providers (both in NZ - don't go to the end of the alphabet, and the US) who, bottom line, do not provide any sense of service and certainly do not support businesses through a growth and development cycle. At Net Branding I get to speak to humans and competent digital marketers who have real 'skin in the game', build your online collateral that works (constructed with SEO in mind) and given the end to end nature of their offer (they deal with the IT side of things as well as digital marketing) provide excellent value. I wish I had been aware/had gone to Cathy Mellett and Net Branding first rather than spend funds, I would say $3-$5k, I didn't need to and delivered zero return Jonathan Sweeney - ICU-Big.com Jonathan Sweeney Fahey Property Management Ltd has recently entered the overwhelming realm of Social Media. Cathy Mellett from Net Branding has allowed us to be available on every Social Media platform to interact in a manner manor with clients and potential clients. She is amazing and extremely professional if you want to grow your business through social media then Cathy Mellett and Net Branding are a must. Thanks Cathy Angela Fahey, Director at Fahey Property Management Ltd I have been using the consultancy digital services of Cathy Mellett and Net Branding Ltd since 2014. I am extremely pleased with the progress that my business has made, Cathy's skill, knowledge, and responsiveness have enabled an entire review of the digital offering (websites through to social media) for my fashion company. Cathy has also (on pro bono basis) established and managed the website for my charity "RAW 2014 Limited" www.raw.org.nz creating a highly functional site that enables strong storytelling, as well as engagement and promotion of the RAW initiative. I have no hesitation in referring Cathy's consultancy service. Annah StrettonStump Busters is a well-established business. However we have struggled for years with our online marketing. Despite spending tens of thousands on website design, SEO, Google Adwords and Facebook, the results were mediocre – yes, I tracked results using the AVANSER call tracking analytics service. Over the years, although we developed great graphics and images, we were never able to find a partner who could bring it all together in the right way, until we started working with Cathy Mellett of Net Branding. Now, after a very short time working with Cathy Mellett and her digital marketing team, we're seeing spectacular improvement in organic results that are both tangible and bankable! Cathy has taken a holistic approach, spending time with me to find out who we are and what we do. Then she researched our industry and fully redeveloped our online presence with a dynamic vibrant website and excellent SEO, and has been re-writing our content (rather than demanding it from me). She’s done all this for a fair and reasonable price, and in just a matter of weeks, rather than the months others have taken over the years. All I can say is that, to date, it's been a pleasure to work with Net Branding . I've also learnt plenty along the way, which will help with the future development of our marketing strategies, and I am looking forward to a long partnership as we work together to build the business.Dave Ruck, Business OwnerCathy Mellett of Net Branding really knows her stuff. She sorted out problems I was having with my online profile in no time. She has great ideas and represents excellent value for money. You can rely on Cathy for your personal and/or company brand profiling and/or internet presence. People like Cathy are rare – she knows what she is doing but won’t cost you an arm and a leg!”Cherri Holland, FacilitatorI want to let you know we secured a new customer last week purely due to the new website. Their technical infrastructure and site was “dead in the water”, they searched for networking experts, and NSP came up as one of the options. They liked our website so much, that they contact us. Our technical team were able to respond immediately, resolved their initial problem, and will work with them to design a totally new infrastructure solution. Thanks for your contribution and being part of our success.

Charlotte Devereux (Director) hatched EGG Maternity over 15 years ago in New Zealand. Their maternity and breastfeeding clothes have been loved globally. See - Client Testimonial VideoCharlotte Devereux, DirectorLocal Business Association, Parnell Inc could not have done our new Parnell website without Cathy of Net Branding, With over 1,200 pages and lots of complex needs for different audiences, we required an expert, hands-on approach. Net Branding gave us huge insight and assistance with our new website and continues to improve our social media on online channels. You seldom find someone with the range of skills we need that does not communicate in IT geek.Cheryl Adamson, General ManagerI just want to do a big shout-out to the wonderful CathyMellett from Net Branding (“Be Seen, Be Heard, Be Found Online”) who I spent two hours with this morning (27/7/2015) discussing my online marketing. Her knowledge and expertise in the online / digital marketing space is brilliant. She really helped me to understand what I need to be doing with my website and blogging to reach a much bigger audience. Definitely recommend her if you are looking for more leads!Jasmine Platt, Coach and MentorI have been thrilled with the work Cathy Mellett has done for me. Computers/social media, can be a scary thing, but Cathy has explained everything so well that i think i maybe i can now blog!! I would highly recommend Cathy Mellett for anyone wanting to enhance or learn about their social media.Marsha Laskey – Tsoumas, Director at Boutique Beauty on the Bays LtdI have been working with Cathy Mellett over the past year and I recommend her to anyone who wants to move their business up the ladder fast. She is very honest, loyal, over delivers and is fantastic to work with as she thinks outside the square. Her husband is a very competent lawyer and she frequently asks him for legal advice that could trip one up.Rita Haagner, Licensee Salesperson at Ray White RemueraCathy Mellett not only has a very professional manner with her clients but also has the ability to work at the speed of the client and ensures you understand each and every step. For someone like myself who finds computers somewhat of a mystery, Cathy Mellett is a bless from above helping me to become comfortable with social networking in order to expand my business.Sheryl Orchard, Real Estate Agent (Auckland - Remuera and Epsom)“My company’s Google rankings and overall site traffic improved dramatically after working with this agency. The service we’ve received from their team has consistently been above and beyond our expectations.” Spicers Paper and Canterbury Packaging Supplies.Phillip Herbst, IT department“From the time we had our 1st meeting to implementation and training it seemed such a breeze. We couldn’t speak more highly of Cathy and her social media and digital marketing team. Everything was carried out in an efficient and friendly manner. If we had to tick all the boxes I guess we would have to tick 12 out of 10 as they certainly go the extra mile. This incredible team managed to not only get us top positions on Google for all of our top keywords, but they kept us there, as well! I would highly recommend this Auckland company to anyone.” Slatecrete Paving.Ann Woskett, Business Owner “I have only been working with this agency for a few months but I would recommend Net Branding without hesitation.

Here, you’ll find a selection of our expert work. Take a look at some of the results we’ve delivered.What the numbers show 15 000 active users. Up 653 % on the previous period. That spike in December settled into a steady stream that kept running all the way to June. 15 000 new users. Growth of 643 %. Nearly one-for-one with active users, so almost everyone who arrived stuck around. Channel mix. Paid Social: 7 400 new users (≈49 % of the total) Display: 2 600 Paid Search: 1 800 (up 571 %) Organic Search: 1 000 (up 75 %) Direct traffic: 677 (up 70 %) Organic Social: 1 000 (up 9 100 %) Referral: 279 Sessions tell the same story. Paid Social delivered 9 200 sessions; Display added 3 300; Paid Search 2 000. Every other source climbed too. Why it matters Weekly leads flowed in, and the sales team could close them quickly. Paid Social did the heavy lifting early, but Organic Search kept compounding, protecting you from ad-cost swings. A clear jump in Direct visits shows rising brand recall—people typed the URL on their own. The spike-then-plateau pattern is normal after a big launch. What counts is the higher base you can see from February onward. What else you’d want to track next Metric Reason you care Cost per lead Shows if budget is working hard or just working. Conversion rate by channel Lets you push spend towards sources that close, not just click. Sales-qualified lead volume Traffic is nice; revenue is nicer. Average time to first deal Measures pipeline velocity. Lifetime value Helps set a ceiling for cost-per-acquisition. Imagine this in your sector If a 600 % jump in traffic landed on your site next quarter, how many proposals could you send? What would a 50 % lift in direct visits say about your brand strength? Could your current sales process cope with twice the inbound volume? FAQs1. How long will it take before we see comparable growth? Most campaigns start to show clear movement in 6–8 weeks. Full traction often lands by month three once data lets us fine-tune ads and content. 2. Will these results work in a niche industry? Yes. We adjust channel mix and messaging for each market. In manufacturing, for example, Paid Search and targeted industry portals often beat social on cost-per-lead, while remarketing keeps engineers engaged through a long buying cycle. 3. What does a typical engagement cost? Budgets vary. Many B2B clients' investment ranges in a month, depending on industry and geo distribution. This budget is typically across paid media and content. We always map spend to expected lead volume and deal size first. Traffic at a glance 14 000 active users Up 24 % on the prior 12-month slice. 14 000 new users Growth sits at 23.8 %. Almost a one-to-one match with active users, so churn looks low. Average engagement – 1 min 30 sec Down 9 %. You trimmed fluff, visitors now find what they need, leave … and call. That drop is fine when enquiries keep rising. Source Rough share Story behind the bar Organic Search ≈ 11 k new users (≈ 80 %) Niche SEO now runs the show. Long-tail “family lawyer Auckland fees”-type queries land and convert. Direct ≈ 3 k Name recall up. Folks type the URL or hit a saved bookmark. Referral ≈ 1 ½ k Legal directories, partner sites, probably a few news mentions. Paid Search ≈ 1 k Campaigns paused, yet some legacy clicks still arrive. Organic Social A few hundred Small, but growing as posts answer “Can I…?” questions clients ask. Paid Social & Display Tiny slivers Exactly as planned after the ad pull-back. Why it matters to a law firm Weekly leads keep climbing even with zero ad spend. Search traffic dominates, so costs scale with time, not clicks. Faster page journeys (shorter sessions) often signal a cleaner UX—people locate the right service page, then ring or fill the form. Brand searches feeding Direct traffic hint at rising trust. Tradie Environment in NZ - Quick read of the numbers (14 Jun – 13 Jul 2025 vs same period 2024) Sessions – 518 Up +129 %. Nearly double the eyeballs. Engaged sessions – 369 Up +127 %. Traffic is real, not empty clicks. Engagement rate – 71 % Almost flat (-0.6 %). Holding steady while volume grows is a win. Average engagement time – 2 min Up +234 %. People stay to read, watch, decide. Events per session – 5.6 Up +22 %. Users click, scroll and submit forms more often. Key-event count – 310 Up +118 %. That’s calls, form fills, bookings—real leads. Channel Sessions Engagement notes % change YoY Organic Search 227 (44 %) 77 % engagement rate, 35 s avg time. Users find answers fast and act. +65 % Paid Search (Google Ads) 151 (29 %) 2 m 45 s avg time, 4.8 events / session. High-intent, research-heavy visits. New channel this year → lifts overall quality. Direct 93 (18 %) 67 % engagement, 1 m 18 s on site. Brand recall rising. +50 % Referral + Organic Social 47 (9 %) Smaller, but each visit averages 6+ events. Mixed growth A subtle point: Average engagement in Organic Search is only 35 s, yet its key-event rate is 57 %. Visitors land on a targeted service page, find a phone number, and call. Speedy sessions are good sessions. What made the difference Focused Ads • Tight keyword groups around practice-area pain points (e.g. “urgent employment lawyer NZ”). • Ad copy mirrors on-page headings, so Quality Scores stay healthy and cost per lead dips. Niche SEO • Built pages for micro-topics—“90-day trial dismissal”, “relationship property split calculator”. • Internal links guide users straight to a contact form. UX tweaks • Sticky phone icon on mobile. • FAQ accordions trimmed to two lines so pages load faster. • Testimonials surfaced high on every template—trust builds at a glance. Hand-held reporting A short loom video each month, no jargon. Client feels seen, not sold to. That trust shows in the feedback: “Past agencies vanished after the invoice. You lot don’t.” FAQs you can share with the clientHow soon will new practice-area pages rank? Roughly six to eight weeks for page-one impressions; longer for the top three slots. We’ll watch Search Console and tweak titles once the first data rolls in. Is the Google Ads spend safe while organic traffic grows? Yes—budgets stay capped and campaigns pause automatically when cost-per-lead creeps above the agreed ceiling. Why track calls if form leads are climbing? Calls often close faster. Knowing which keywords drive them lets us push budget to the phrases that turn into invoices, not just email threads.

One of the constantly evolving obstacles that every business comes across is getting a website to show up on the first page of search results (the first page of Google), or even in the top position. What do SEO services usually include?Website Audits and Analysis: This is always a good starting point. This assesses for site health, speed, current or existing Google / Bing or other search engine rankings. This audit can check site visibility and other technical issues on the site. The Net Branding team have also been asked to do a website audit as part of the agreement for the sale and purchase of a business. On-Page Optimisation: This aspect of an SEO service includes improving your website's content, structure and code to support algorithms. Keep everything as clean as possible.

Quality content is important, and content that provides value to the site visitor. This is still Google’s ultimate mission, to ensure that every site visitor has the best experience based on the search phrase or search query that they have initiated. Performance Monitoring: Tracking, checks, analysing areas of performance across the site to ensure continuous improvement. Input data is important to assess. Competitor Analysis: Understanding your competing sites for the placements you want is very important. This analysis may also identify gaps and, therefore, opportunities that you may have overlooked.

This service includes site speed, site responsiveness (mobile friendly), ensuring the site certificate is current (HTTPS) and reviewing and fixing the errors on the site. These errors could be crawl errors, content duplication errors or index errors, to name a few. SEO Services : The SEO reality, what does it mean for you and your business? As an example. A SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) service is normally provided by a SEO company or perhaps they could be referred to as an SEO Agency. If you Google “Digital Consulting Agency” or "web marketing company" or "search engine optimization" or perhaps start looking for local SEO NZ companies, you will see a range of organic Digital Consulting, Online Marketing or SEO service providers in the search engine results pages. Search terms could differ between online searchers. One could search SEO company, another could search SEO services, SEO expert, Local SEO, SEO companies, SEO Marketing, SEO Agency or Agency SEO, SEO Firms.

Our SEO team will work with you as we achieve your online and business goals. What is SEO?Search engine rankings are important to your business.  The higher your business appears the search page results, the better for your business and here are a few reasons why. Maintain the online lead.  Ensure your business ranks higher than your competitors in the search results.  With a higher search engine ranking, you are more likely to see a new visitor to your website. Better search results equates to an increase in search engine traffic. The average searcher trusts search engine results.  The direct result for your business is brand credibility. In my opinion, search results provide you with a better return on investment (ROI) than paid advertisements. SEO can take your business to the next level in the online space. Consider this statistic, 60% of clicks go to the first page’s results It is important to understand that SEO is a constant online activity with the results of your efforts taking time to materialise.
