The Five Laws of Stratospheric Success




The Five Laws of
Stratospheric Success

The Law of Value

Your true worth is determined by
how much more you give in value than you take in payment.

The Law of Compensation

Your income is determined by
how many people you serve and how well you serve them.


The Law of Influence

Your influence is determined by
how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.

The Law of Authenticity

The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.

The Law of Receptivity

The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.

Get Found On Google Launches “Pages” To Help Businesses Sync Their Website Data



Get Found On Google is adding new tools today to help businesses synchronize their content and data across multiple services with the launch of a product called Pages.
 Focusing on helping businesses manage their location data, first on local search and listing services like Yelp and Bing, then on Facebook too. With Pages, it's making it easier for businesses to update their own websites as well.
To illustrate why this is useful, CEO Tracy Congdon told me about being dispatched by his wife to pick up a pie, only to discover that the store in question was closed for the day. It turned out that the store's Facebook Page had been updated with that information, but its website (which is what he had consulted) was not. Congdon argued that this reflects a broader problem, where many businesses find it difficult to consistently update their websites, so those websites turn into digital brochures.
“We want to make the web a little less static,” he said.
With Pages, Get Found On Google is offering customers five different widgets - calendars, menus, bios, product lists, and social posts. Once those widgets are embedded on a site, they can be updated from the same Get Found On Google interface as everything else, with the same information. And those updates go live immediately, as Congdon showed me in a quick demo.
In addition, Get Found On Google is announcing that it now supports international addresses in 75 countries and 150 languages, and that it's expanding its social features to include support for Google+.

40 hours a month



Over the past several years we have assisted numerous businesses in growing by directing more traffic to them. Stumbling over a few obstacles ourselves, In fact, it is mandatory we study for no less than eight hours a month to stay on top of changes from both Google and Facebook. A quick sign a change is coming is when you start having issues with either one of them. Can't post something on Facebook, chances are they are preparing to update or add something. Many DIY tools have cropped up and some of them are fantastic. All require you have a certain degree of skills but more importantly the TIME commitment. 

On average we spend 40 hours a month on each client building and tweaking their listings, website(s,) video, and social media marketing etc. to get them where they need to be.

Test your website's search engine optimization with SEORCH this will generate a beautiful report you can use to tweak or even overhaul your website to maximize traffic. 

If you don't have the skill set or the time then feel free to call us to help you achieve your rankings.

PO Box vs Physical Mailing Address


TIP:
PO Boxes and UPS stores, seem like a great way to help protect our addresses and keep unwanted visitors or random people from stopping by. Sure, it helps here but it actually hurts your online business listing.

Google and the other big search engines cross check physical addresses with stores like Mail Boxes Etc. When they match up, your listing loses "link juice," or placement with the search engines. 

When creating your listings online put your actual address and when available select "do not show my address." This will dramatically improve your listings power and improve your online presence helping drive traffic to you and your company. 

I often hear, "but I work from home," so do 1000's of others and the many I have helped place listings for have noted a significant and documented increase in potential new customers.

Check, here, how your business appears online to your customers.

Picture Marketing and Your Citation




A relatively easy way to pop up in a Google search is with video and picture marketing. 

Picture marketing is where you upload numerous properly tagged photos to one of the many picture sharing websites. Such as Shutterfly, Picasa, Flickr, Photobucket, of course Instagram and many others. 

By properly tagged I am indicating you have done some proper keyword research. Google makes a very nice tool for researching the proper keywords you need. Once your picture is uploaded you have to say a little something about the photo using the proper keywords. Also in the body of your message you need to include your business citation. 

Your citation is your online business card. Or how your business name, address, phone number, email address, and website appear. This must be exactly the same all across the web. If you use ( ) in your phone number then always use them. Don't use - - sometimes and . . others. Once you type out your citation you should save it on your computer and cut and paste it as often as possible. Eliminate the human error.

Why Your Business Needs a Facebook Presence

The majority of businesses have some kind of presence on Facebook but how many are really utilizing the social media giant for its full potential? Probably a lot less than you think. For those who are missing out, I have to imagine that they fail to understand the benefits that Facebook marketing can bring to their businesses. 

The numbers are astounding – 1.15 billion users, 700 million daily users, average time per Facebook visit is 20 minutes and 8.3 hours is the average amount of time each user spends per month. And if that does not grab your attention, how about the fact that 70% of monthly active Facebook users in the U.S. are engaged and connected to a local business? It could be yours!

Looks at some key Facebook numbers that clearly show why businesses marketing efforts and Facebook should be closely connected. If you are already utilizing Facebook marketing, then I think you’ll agree with the numbers. If you are still on the fence, then read on for some very interesting facts and figures.
Let Get Found on Google help you leverage the numbers below. (734) 252-9014
