Why You Need Local SEO and How To Improve Your Small Business Rankings

Local SEO Tips for Small Businesses It used to be when you started an organization, you did your advertising the old fashioned way.

3 Concrete Steps to Improve Your Small Business Website

It can seem overwhelming It’s a story we hear all the time – small business owners know that they need to be online to compete, so they hire someone to build a website, and then forget about it. A month or two later, they suddenly realize they’re not seeing any concrete results from their website and wonder what happened. If this sounds familiar to you, you’re not alone. There’s a common misconception among the general public that once you create a website, you’re all done – that it will just sit on the internet and collect customers for you. Unfortunately for small businesses everywhere, it’s not so simple. There’s a whole industry based around helping businesses get their websites to rank well in search engines and attract customers. Of course you can pay marketing agencies to do all this stuff for you, but many small business owners want to do […]

9 Awesome Link Building Strategies for Local Businesses

9 Link Building Strategies for Local Businesses banner

This is a guest post from Anthony Randall of Rizolt Marketing The Local Advantage One advantage that a local company has over a purely web-based business is that their relevance is extended to their entire community, independent of the niche that they operate in. For link building purposes, simply being a local company means that your relevance becomes more about your location than the services you provide (though that is still hugely important), and that can really open up a lot of opportunities for you. At the end of the day, there isn’t a whole lot of difference between building links for a local business’ website and building links for any other website. Both are extremely hard work, and a lot of strategies can be successful for both. However, there are a few opportunities that local businesses can leverage better than a company with no local presence could. 1. Local […]

4 Things Companies Can Learn From Captain America: Civil War

4 Business Lessons from Captain America: Civil War

Communication was Captain America’s biggest problem Captain America: Civil War is the big new blockbuster superhero movie this month, and on the surface, a bunch of superpowered people in costumes punching each other doesn’t have much to do with business. However, after I saw it this weekend, all I could think about was how the film was really just a story about an organization suffering from a communication breakdown. In the movie (no spoilers!), a team of superheroes, led by Captain America and Iron Man, normally work together to save the world but are divided because of a difference of opinion in how to conduct their business, and their whole team ends up fighting each other and doing the bad guys’ work for them. This exact same thing happens in businesses all too often, and 99% of the time this is because of a failure of communication at the leadership level. It’s […]
