Small Business Advertising Tips

Local Business Advertising
Small Business Advertising
In order to effectively advertise a small business you need to utilize proper small business advertising techniques.
The Primary Small business advertising techniques are as follows:
- Have a Google Places Optimized Listing
- Have a Mobile friendly local business website
- Have an optimized small business website
- Have a Facebook Fan Page
- Have a Twitter Profile
Each of the above requirements if implemented with due diligence as to what Google wants to see, will bring an unprecedence of financial reward to the local business which had the forsight to get them executed properly. Consider the situation where a primary keyword for a local small business generates 350 local searches per month, and for that keyword, the local small business does have a Google places listing on page one. Google places listings are above the organic search engine listings, they contain the contact information of the business and you get a call.
Notice that the next technique that i listed above is the mobile website. There are currently more mobile phone buyers searching the internet for goods and services than there are people searching with loptops and desktop computers. If your website is not mobile friendly, you are a looser.
It is necessary to have a fully optimized small business, or local business website. mose of your SEO juice will be derived from this site. The primary consideration here, is not if it is pretty, or awesome, it is: DO SEARCHES FIND THE WEBSITE? If the website is not found, it is just trash, and a waste of the money invested to build it.
Well, this post is getting long, so I will discuss the really important aspects of social marketing in a later post.

I am in the process of optimizing our website, http://localwebhits.com for the keyword string Business Advertising. Using Rank checker, that string is currently number 44. In the subdomain, http://edmonton.localwebhits.com, the keyword string, edmonton advertising is currently in the number 74 spot. A week ago it was in the number 196 position. I am using a veretekk platinum system to enable the migration from totally not seen to page one of Google. I also use article writing, blogging and videos in the process, which is automated by the veretekk system. I am working on Small Business Advertising for the localwebhits URL and Edmonton Advertising for the edmonton subdomain.
Youtube and Small Business Advertising
There are some rules that need to be followed to do proper onpage YouTube optimization. First, your keyword needs to be in the title of the YouTube video. Secondly, in the video description you should start out with the URL to your website that you are trying to optimize. You should have a good description of the business and lastly, you should put a link to the video itself. The reason for this is that many people scrape utube for urls and your video will be picked up in the scrape.
Now, it is important that you post this YouTube video on other video sites, but with a major exception to the description. Do not use your website URL in the Description. Use only the URL of the YouTube video. Google loves having links from other video sites pointing to YouTube!
Finally, you write up this process as I am doing here and go to your Veretekk Platinum system and post it to your Bully pulpit.
Get the embed code of the video and make several freepages, each of which has a different keyword string in the title and post those. Then take those to your Veretekk Blogger and write articles about these posts as well.

In my last post I discussed a process whereby you could increase the Page Rank of your YouTube Channel. I mentioned in that post that I had been told that to increase the page rank of your YouTube channel that you needed to do Google searches for comments on YouTube videos and then to comment on them while you were logged in to your YouTube Channel.
Local Business Marketing Online Preliminary Results
In that post I mentioned that the search term in a Google seqarch bar would be
", or Local Business Marketing Online" "channel comments" site:youtube.com/user. I also mentioned that the article that I was referring to stated that I needed to comment 5 times for a keyword term, 3 times per week for three weeks, and that the channel that I was optimizing had at least three videos on it.
I did that 2 days ago for a new channel and today while searching for new videos to comment on, that URL came up showing a PR of 3. Maybe this was a quirk or a Google Dance, but it certainly got my intention. I am going to keep this process going for the stated 3 weeks for sure, now that I have seen those results in real time.

Business Marketing for Local Small Businesses with Mobile Websites
It probably does. And there are many ways to do it. All do take time and patience, and diligence to keep them working. Most of you small business owners do not have the current knowledge of just what to do, and all of you are being hit upon by every huckster, and a lot of professionals, and how do you sort them out?
The Too Good To Be True Test
The first litmus test is if it sounds too good to be true, it is probably true. Always ask for references, and get a phone number that you can personally call, not a website with a thousand testimonials. As for website searches for keywords of former clients. See if the Google places pages come up. See how many of the organic results are actually on page one, and if so how many are above the fold.
Brick and Mortar need Google places First
The reason for this is that it takes 3 weeks or more to start working, but then it appears above the organic results. it is usually cheaper to set up a good Google places campaign than a SEO campaign for the organic results. But, you object as a small local business is to make money, so you need both and you also need to pay attention to Social networking, especially FaceBook.

It does not matter if you are a janitorial service, a Dentist, a plumber, a building contractor or a retail store, if your business is not found on the first page of a local search engine, you are loosing money that you could otherwise have.

How do I promote a site or a keyword for a site?
There are many ways to do keyword promotion for a specific small business page on a specific website. A few of these follow:
Article promotion
Most people who grasp article promotion think that all they should do is write articles and then post thema to Article sites. When you post to article sites you need to follow the rules for good SEO, having your principle Keyword in the Title, use the keywords several times in the article . have the keywords near the bottom of the article and follow the rules for your signiture box, in which you want a hyperlink to your website.
This is, in fact a very good strategy, if done consistanytly with good helpful origonal content. But, like Emeril, the national cooking Chef likes to say; "lets kick it up a notch". This can be done with your writing just as it can be done with cooking. Write those articles, but create an index of them by title and URL which includes where they were posted. As you write mor articles, refer to previous articles that you have written, with a hyperlinked keyword phrase, thereby, "Kicking the link juice up a notch!
Blog promotion
Blog promotion works the same way as Article promotion, including the reference to kicking it up a notch. We will be discussing which blogs to use a little later, but for now do what you are comfortable and write origonal content every day just as you did for the articles.
Each of these processes are similar, however in the videos you have the ability to Create the title, use keyword tags and have a video description. The title must always contain the keyword that you are promoting. The description should contain the specific URL that you are promoting. If you are a local or small business the description should also contain your businss name, address, and phone number.
Post these videos at various video posting sites, including YouTube, which Google owns. Post the same video with Alternate titles and meta description as many times as you have unique metadata to post. Spiders can read the metadata, not the video.
News releases
News Releases are very powerful in helping rank a website. Do some research on the proper procedures for posting news releases and use them sparingly.
Pictures
Pictures are a little recognized secret weapon. Assemble a lare volume of photographs relevant to your business and post them on prestegeous and high volume photo posting websites. These sites normally have good ranking and spiders in existance. Use keywords to name each of these pictures. Now, when writing articles, blogs or making videos, or any web content, link to these pictures. This ads a lot more backlinks to your effort.
Veretekk, The SEO Weapon of Choice
There is a system of highly integrated aged URL's and software designed for Search Engine Optimization to make all of this process very easy to do. It allows you to create blogs that Google or no-one else can cancel, as one of the major blog systems today does. With this system you can post your articles, blogs, pictures, and more to very aged domains?
The Veretekk Gold system allows you to do this extremely well. There is a learning curve to it. It is not a push button system, as no such valid systems exist today.
I will be discussing the power of the Veretekk Gold and Platinum systems in future posts. I hope that this article helps.

Google Places Categories
In the Google Places setup, you need to select a Category from the Google Drop Down list for the first category. This is mandatory for good optimization. Then once that is done you may create 4 more categories. Too many words will get you bad rankings over time. Currently local testing and local wisdom says to use the 2334 rule, 2 word, then 3 words then 3 words, then r words. So for Dentist office you may pick the Dentist category, which is in the Google drop down box. Then attempt to maximize relevant keywords within the above formula to provide a large potential categories list.
A set of categories might be:
Dentist
Sedation Dentist
Teeth whitening Dentist
Veneers dental clinic
Dental implants denture service
The most important criteria about categories, is that they must represent Who, not what you do! It is also important never to use the city in a category.
Google Places Description for a small business.
The description is limited to 200 characters and you need to use as many as you can, without keyword stuffing. Mention the city only once. Do not use any category words. Use the main keyword only once. Try to make this sound very normal and make something that you would not be embarrassed to have on your business card. If your main keyword is also a category, use other words that when used with that word will increase chances for searches and or use words that refer to the same niche. This way you will not be penalized by Google for stuffing. It is important to never use a Post Office box for an address.
Create an email address specifically for the listing that contains your main keyword. Keyword@gmail.com.
Additional Details
This section of the Google places setup is for creating dozens of more keyword hyperlinks.
Examples
Go to my Dentist Facebook Profile, (hyperlink).
Create hyperlinks to all of your citation sites, review sites, picture sites, video sites etc, all of which are remotely located on other websites which you do or do not control and some of which are authority sites.
Reviews and Coupons
You should make good use of these options, using Keyword type hyperlinks as we discussed above.

Google Places Offline Optimization
Google Places Offline Optimization is everything that you do OFF of your Google Places site that you are in the process of creating.
Principal Offline Optimization Activities
- Claiming Directories
- Video promotion
- Picture Promotion
- Article Promotion
- Review Promotion
- Website Promotion
- Backlink Strategy
Claiming Directories
It is important for you to search for and claim your listings on other sites. Google aggregated citations from sites all over the internet such as produced by Yelp, Yahoo, Bing and others to create the initial Google maps. Now, when you claim them, it ads credibility to your new Google Places listing. I will be having specific posts on this issue in the future.
Video promotion
Video promotion is important, and since Google owns YouTube, guess where you should first post? There are over 50 places on the internet to post videos to. Each of these videos must have an optimized title, Description and keywords. Google allows 5 videos on your Google Places site and They should each come from a different location.
Picture Promotion
Promoting pictures is not routinely done by people advertising their businesses online. Google Places allows 10 pictures and they should be hosted at prominent websites. The title tags should also be optimized for your primary keyword phrases.
Article Promotion
It is important to have multiple articles posted at well visited websites which contain your citation and a link to your website.
Review Promotion, Website Promotion, Backlink Strategy
I will be covering these in a continuation of this discussion.
