The Benefits of Sending an Email Newsletter
Amidst flashier, more high-tech marketing solutions, the email newsletter has sadly been lost in the shuffle. Yet ignoring this key form of customer outreach could be detrimental to your broader marketing outcomes. The simple reality is that email newsletters work; they remain one of the most valuable ways for businesses to directly engage with their customers. When properly managed, an email newsletter can lead to a greater brand rapport, to increased website traffic, to more conversions, and beyond.
Simple Ways to Improve Local SEO
In 2019, SEO is local. That’s doubly true for brick and mortar businesses, which thrive on being easily discoverable by search engine users in the immediate area. That’s ultimately what gets people filing into the restaurant or the store, and as such, it’s no exaggeration to say that local SEO can make or break your broader marketing efforts.

How to Build a Perfect Location Page
Not every business website needs individual pages that are optimized by location. If you have multiple stores, multiple offices, or multiple restaurants, however, there can be a real SEO benefit to developing these geographically focused “location pages.” In particular, these pages, when properly optimized, can show up in the Google map pack and in other localized SERP listings, e.g., “near me” queries. The question is, what steps should you take to ensure that these location pages perform the way they’re supposed to?
Using Online Reviews to Build Consumer Trust
There’s no way around it: If you want to convince consumers to spend money on your product or service, you first have to convince them that you’re trustworthy. Proving trustworthiness can be easier said than done, but in today’s consumer landscape, there’s one very basic currency for credibility… and that’s online reviews.

Maintaining a robust online presence can be a full-time job unto itself. In fact, digital marketing can sometimes feel like several full-time jobs—PPC, SEO, content creation, website development and maintenance, social media strategies and beyond.
Why Internal Linking is an SEO Essential
“Link building” has long been a popular phrase in SEO circles—and not without reason. Links to other websites can play an important role in developing your own site’s reputation and authority. Sometimes, though, the emphasis on link building is a little one-sided, slanted toward the inclusion of external links, as well as backlinks from relevant third-party sites.
