Why Google Plus is Like An Elephant?

Why is Google Plus like an elephant you ask?
Do you remember the story about the blind man and the elephant? Each person was asked to describe their experience of the elephant without seeing the whole. Some described the ears, some the tail, some the trunk and others the legs and body.

Google Plus is so many things that many people do not fully understand all that it is capable of and all that it has to offer.

Google Plus Pages

Google Plus pages come in a few different shapes and sizes. To be on Google Plus you must initially have an individual page. From your individual page you can create and manage mulitple pages for your business, for your non profit, a musical or theater group, for whatever you wish. 

Once a Google Plus Page is created the type of page can not be changed.

1. Individual Page - you must use your name, it is against the terms of agreement to use a nickname, again you must have an individual page first. 

2. Local Google Plus Pages 

Select Local Business or Place - if your business has a physical location and you want to show up in Google Maps this is the option for you. To receive all the functionality of this page, including reviews, you must have the listing verified either by a phone call or postcard.

Other Google Plus Pages - choosing between the following options doesn't change your functionality. Choose "Other" when the categories do not apply to your situation

  • Product or Brand 
  • Company, Institution or Organization 
  • Arts, Entertainment or Sports 
  • Other 

Google Plus Social Network

From your Google Plus page you are now ready to participate in the social network of Google Plus.

Web Design & Your Business Plan

Web Design & Your Business Plan
Your business plan is one of your greatest assets when designing your website. Don't do all that work and not encorporate your well thought out answers into your web marketing strategy. Mine that gold and build on your planning.

Know Your Customer.
Really knowing your customer is a vital component of successful marketing. Making assumptions and not doing adequate research can waste money and time invested into a marketing campaign. Learn not only the demographics of your customers, their age, location, gender, interests as well as their lexicon. In some industries and niches technical jargon is helpful and in others it is not. Search engine marketing has it's foundations in words and writing in the language of your customers is the most effective was to connect to them organically.
  • What are the top problems or challenges of your customer?
  • What are the most commonly googled questions concerning your product or service?
  • Are you B2B (business  to business) or do you sell directly to the customer? 
  • How do your customers describe your product or service? 
Know Yourself & Your Story.
What makes you special? What makes you unique? You can't be everything to everybody. Find where you excell and focus there. Insure your web presence reflects you and the unique attributes of your business, your company culture, or the special contribution of your non profit.

Stories make impact. Know your story and tell it in a compelling way, a way which can be retold easily. People are wired for stories, stories stick.
  • What is your unique value proposition?
  • What is your story?
  • How can you tell your story in the language of your customer?
Know Your Market.
Knowing your market is part of business. Staying on top of business trends and creating a service or product that meets the needs of your customers is the name of the game. We can learn a lot from our competition and complementary industries.
  • Who is your competition? 
  • How does your web presence compare?
  • What makes you different from your competition?
  • Do you have a method to monitor your competition?

Hub & Spoke Web Marketing Model

hub and spoke web marketing model
The Hub and Spoke Marketing Model
We employ the Hub and Spoke Marketing Model in our web marketing campaigns.

What does this mean?

Your website, along with your blog, is considered the hub of your campaign. It is the center of activity and where you direct visitors, where conversions occur and where you can access information on traffic and visitors.

While you have points of contact on every spoke, ultimately your website is where everything is being directed. Spokes may include social media sites, email marketing campaings, pay per click campaigns, as well as mailings, newspaper and print ads, but they all point back to your website.

It is your website that is truly and literally "your domain." Invest your time and energy in your domain where you have the creative control over the user experience. No one is going to change service terms or claim ownership of your material on your site. Your site, your rules. Your site, your analytics. Build on your own ground.

This is where you convert, this is where you track your progress, this is where you invest your time on the web.
