Internet Marketing Adelaide - What will 2016 hold for local business?

Internet Marketing Adelaide is a complicated matter, and as we go into 2016, people are in a mindset where they reflect back on the year that was 2015, and try and work out what life holds in store for them later. This is of course, tough. You can certainly never figure out what is around the bend, but if you figure out the fundamental parts of the past and look for patterns you can get a better comprehension. This is especially true for SEO. I wish to try and explain to you several of the major trends that have been arising in 2015 throughout the Adelaide SEO market and the world. From this hopefully together we can try and determine where to focus our efforts, this will be specifically useful if you are a local Adelaide business.

Think Local

This is the biggest developing trend and it is going to keep increasing in importance. This means that if you are an Adelaide business and you are looking for local users, then this is fantastic. Kicking off with the changes from Google Pigeon, we saw a developing pattern that local Adelaide searches were actually ranking higher than business with national company headquaters, or even spots on the other side of town. Why? Because with local searches people want to know what is near them! In 2016 this is going to grow even more taking into consideration the recent Google search quality ratings guidelines http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/www.google.com/en//insidesearch/howsearchworks/assets/searchqualityevaluatorguidelines.pdf and also thinking about the My Business API as well as other things Google has been up to in 2015 will likely prove that they are spending more time and weighting into local search powers. So with that in mind, there are a few technological areas that will be surfacing even more in 2016, so watch out for them to help with your local search efforts.

Local-boosting tech patterns

There are a few technology areas which are very quickly growing in other countries and are starting to emerge in Australia and it won't be very long before they gain popularity in Adelaide.

Mobile wallets

Society is becoming more and more used to lugging around less money and slimmer wallets. Especially with the worldwide sweep (or swipe) of PayWave or PayPass over the past few years and other quick 'contactless' paying technologies we are shifting towards mobile wallets. This will mean 2 things for a local Adelaide business. 1 - you ought to be listening to growing trends, and make certain you have the capability to actually let people pay - as an example, if you are yet to get a PayWave or RFID reader for your ship, then get one. And 2 - you can start benefiting from the mobile nature of paying. This means advertising and marketing, coupons and other fantastic offers that you can send out to people on their phones and therefore directly into their wallets.

Beacons

Beacons are a little something that has had growing use overseas and we are seeing them locally now too, but they are essentially other ways of getting deals to people locally. It works through Bluetooth, or even a free Wi-Fi, and it simply provides information or a discount to people who link up or sign up to the Beacon. This means that people at your Adelaide store, or even taking a walk past the area will be given more motivation to actually enter the store and make a purchase. It's a brilliant marketing tool that will continue to grow in 2016, but I wouldn't be surprised if technology and development changes this even further throughout the year.

Aps

We also will see even greater use of Aps such as Snapchat and Periscope for innovative ways such as advertising. This has been seen in America with national projects run by Dunkin' Donuts and Taco Bell making use of these aps. It is amazing how many people can keep reinventing ways to get their company out there, and the same could be done for your local company in Adelaide. Be creative and even research what people have done, especially when it comes to social media - if you see a little something you like, take note of it and find a way to include a similar idea into you own project.

My final pieces of parting suggestions - and these are things that you should do right now, today - would be to sign up to an all new Social Media account. Facebook, Google +, Instagram, Pinterest. Pick one you don't have for your company yet and start a new campaign to reach a new audience. As you reach new people, you will grow your recognition at a local Adelaide level, and also boost your authority and possibly even become an useful resource for people. This all goes towards your local SEO efforts which are key in 2016. So you will possibly discover that the future actually looks great for Local businesses with patterns and technology promoting even greater interaction at a 'community' level. This is great for Adelaide businesses, and so I hope that you are as excited as I am.

Digital SEO Marketing Adelaide - Facebook Ads Lessons to boost your Influence

Digital SEOMarketing Adelaide is not as simple as constructing a website there are of plenty of different Digital SEO Marketing concepts to try and understand yourself as a website owner. It is for this reason I really want to show to you a few lessons that I have discovered Facebook Ads. Why Facebook ads? Because Social media is very important to Digital SEO Marketing, and because there are numerous facts about Facebook Ads that I wished I knew when I initially began investing with them.

Lesson # 1 - Location, Location, location - Don't waste your money

If you have made a Facebook ad before you would know that you will need to select a location. So if you are a local Adelaide Business then you will want to set the location to Adelaide. It just makes sense, right?

But what many people overlook is that they choose by default the option for "Everyone in this Location".

So I would like to reveal to you what that actually means. - 'everyone in this location' means every single person in whose Facebook says that they are in Adelaide will be possibly targeted by your ad. This is pretty specific, and yet still broad enough to where you may be wasting money.

People often don't realise, but that 'everyone' button is actually a drop down option, and from there you can chose whether you want people who reside in Adelaide, or maybe just people visiting.

So depending on your local business, you may wish to be targeting people that are visiting or even on holiday in Adelaide. By selecting the option for this you can make sure you are reaching the specific people that will hopefully be engaging with your business, and therefore get a better engagement rate on your investment.

But what it also means that if you just keep selecting 'everyone in this location' then you are by default wasting a number of your ad's reach on people that are just visiting.

So do not forget this option exists, and have a think about what options are going to assist your business.

Lesson # 2 - Image v Text

This is the main thing that I really needed to remember when first starting. Facebook Ads must contain below 20 % text, it is Facebook's way of making sure your ads actually are not being too obtrusive and annoying, so you need to ensure that you have a nice image in your ad and your font isn't too large.

One thing that I generally use is the grid tool. It is provided by Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ads/tools/text_overlay. And it will give you an indication of how much text you are working with in the ad.

So be certain to keep this in mind and your ads will have more success, and less automatic rejection by Facebook.

Lesson # 3 - Mobile platforms are key

When selecting your platform, don't fall into the trap of selecting just the desktop version. As we all are probably aware, many Facebook users are young, and younger clients basically only use mobile devices. Recent figures from Facebook indicate that almost 50 % of users under the age of 35 only use a mobile device to access Facebook.

Now, it really does depend upon your audience, but regardless of whether you are focusing on an older demographic, most will still have mobile devices capable of using Facebook, so don't overlook this option.

What this means is just because you may be on a laptop when you develop and edit an ad, don't fall into the trap of assuming that people will be seeing your ad on a desktop too. This means ensure that you look to make sure the ad works for mobile in the preview, and you experiment with the quantity of ads you want aimed purely to 'mobile.

Hopefully these few tips and pieces of advice will help you to save some effort, time, and even some money when it comes to Facebook ads and your Internet Marketing attempts in Adelaide.

Digital SEO Marketing's strength comes from Quality Content

Digital SEO Marketing is based upon a strong base of quality content, so is your Adelaide business actually strong enough to succeed? Far too many places out there are making content that isn't worth the paper it is printed on (or rather the pixels it is displayed on ...) and the web is flooded with small businesses, like yours in Adelaide, that just try to get some recognition, but annoy people instead. Every online marketer, Local business and even just internet user would really love to have that one post or video go viral and let the Social Media Machine just create free attention - but the truth is it is a game of chance, and the best plan that everybody can stick to is to make continually quality content for your fans to love, like and share.

There are a couple of Big Picture ideas that you will need to bear in mind when it comes to Content:

Relevant Content is Key

Facebook is a quick paced and constantly changing place, as such you should ensure you reach people when it is going to be most efficient. This means every thing must concern you, your business, your audience and what you intend to achieve. When you post about something that your target market genuinely appreciates you will see greater response.

Content is not just words

remember that when we go over content you should be thinking of Videos, Quotes, Pictures, Thoughts, Ideas, Questions, Slideshows, Animation, and Stats.

High quality means posting content that follows the 3 E's

Make sure your Content can Entertain, Educate and Empower. You ought to keep these terms in mind when producing content. If you can continuously make posts that personify one of the Three E's then you will be on the path to setting up a reputation for quality content.

If you are unsure about what your online or local Adelaide target market will view as quality, then among the simplest ways to figure it out is to work on some research. Look at your rivals or at other areas around your market to see what other company's in Adelaide post and what type of interaction they get. You should not be wanting to copy them, but rather imitate the areas that work and make their success your own. When it comes down to it though, one of the easiest ways to know what your Target market will respond to will be to just ask. Make a post or a survey that can engage with your audience to see what they want from you as a company and what they want to see on their Facebook wall. 

You may be surprised by what you uncover. And so, if you have any questions, or simply need to chat, call Internet Marketing Experts Adelaide on 1300 595 013 or visit, www.internetmarketingexpertsAdelaide.com.au
