This is great...
BUT it gets better
Let's REALLY Dominate the Page!
How We Did It:
- We used Google My Business (GMB) with metadata attached to images and videos
- We suggest up to 18 categories (sensibly and tested)
- Video adds an extra layer on top of what you'd use on images
+
- We posted (both images, videos & content) to GMB consistently
- Our tests show posting 4-5 times a week is the sweet spot
- Mix posts - curated, community, fun
+
- We "adjusted" their youtube channel for best results
- Tags are critical
- Incoming links (but only relevant ones)
+
- We created a new blog post in SERVPRO.net that's based on what Google wants now
- It's no longer checking off the corporate box (short content)
- Good solid content wins
(a good example of content)
+
- We added metadata to the image used in the blog post
- You need to signal Google every chance you get
- The more consistent theme-related signals the better
- Up to 18 pieces of data
+
- We created theme-related links
- Check your backlink profile monthly
- Use this pro-tool and get 7 days free
+
- We created local links that made sense
- Not the easiest to get but the most powerful
- Think "build your local brand" when hunting for links
+
- Think like your target customer
- Some customers need immediate help
- Other customers research before they call
- TIP-mold prospects look for information before they consider vendors
- Offer info "gently" and follow up consistently
+
- We went after a search term that we knew made the phone ring
- Not all search terms are equal
- Remember mold prospects have a longer buying cycle so investing in those "early" terms are critical to build the know, like and trust factor
Extra Insight:
It's not just exposure, it's about CTR (click thru rate) too.
So here's what we did:
We split tested multiple thumbnail images.
The image that generated the most clicks won!
And the winner was Danielle's image.
I can see why... she's a beauty!
