- Website – With 81 percent of shoppers conducting online research before buying, it is more important than ever to ensure your website is performing at the optimal level.
- SEO Strategies – The number of daily searches on Google is 3.5 billion, which equates to 1.2 trillion searches per year worldwide. You want to be found online.
- Content – Content is continually becoming more important in marketing for today’s world. And, not just any content, but content that is tailored to your target market or persona.
- Branding – First, explore the five components of a strong brand. Making sure your branding is at the top of its game is critical to ensuring a top-notch marketing strategy.
