				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this highly competitive world, businesses are looking for new ways to promote their products and/or services to the market. A recent study showed that only 30% of small businesses focus their efforts on online marketing as it gives several opportunities not only to promote their offers but also engage with their target customers.</p>
<p>Some companies have already proven their excellence in rendering services to companies and/or clients who are looking for innovative methods in marketing. This is our goal here at <a title="Homepage" href="http://www.madddigital.com">MADD Digital</a>.  Here we plan to give you tips and/or techniques on how you can start your own online marketing campaign. Our blog will help teach you the basics and some advanced actionable steps towards building and/or developing your brand and reaching your target audience. Here are some of the key areas of online marketing you should watch out for as you go through your branding process.</p>
<h2>Search Engine Optimization (SEO)</h2>
<p>Not all online marketers know how to implement an effective SEO strategy for their website.  <a title="Local Search Engine Optimization" href="http://www.madddigital.com/local-search-engine-optimization/">Search engine optimization</a> for those who are just starting out in simple terms mean ranking on search engines like Google.  But overall you are looking for keyword phrases and great content that will help in attracting visitors/customers to your site that well help them get the information or help they need.</p>
<p>For some, SEO is about creating unique, comprehensive and useful content for targeted audience that entice them to do the tasks you want to do including purchasing a product, getting your services through contact forms and/or social media sites, sharing your content and/or subscribing to your opt-in forms or newsletters.</p>
<p>For the next days or weeks, we’ll be discussing with some SEO strategies more specifically link building tactics that you can implement to help increase more visibility and qualified traffic.</p>
<h2>Online Reputation Management (ORM)</h2>
<p>Do you know why is it necessary to <a title="Build and Monitor Your Reputation" href="http://www.madddigital.com/online-reputation-management/">build a reputable brand</a> both on and off-line?  Because your reputation is what your customers’ view about how you and your brand or service are. Positive mentions and/or reviews show that you are doing the right things to and for your clients.</p>
<p>On the other hand, negative reviews though they may be caused by your competitors or unsatisfied customers or employees can cause people to think that you are a ripoff, a cheat, and in general not someone they want to do business with. These things should be monitored by a person or an outsourced company to better enhance your customer engagement and help to remove any bad mentions/eviews about your brand.</p>
<p>ORM, like SEO, is a continuous activity and it should never end. As long as your company is providing its services, you should consistently monitor everything that happens to your brand.  This is only a glimpse of what online reputation management can do your business.</p>
<h2>Lets Talk About Brand Promotion</h2>
<p>Traditional marketing promotion is not enough these days. There are new and more effective ways to promote your brand – the use of content marketing and other link building techniques that are applied also in SEO. Brand building is part of the link building strategy of SEO and it focuses on getting not only traffic but referrals and mentions from authority sites. These could give the brand an opportunity to promote its services with less effort but are not as easy to accomplish.</p>
