Social Media

So why is Facebook so important to my business?

facebook places marketing

A profile displays information about the individual he or she has chosen to share, including interests, education and work background and contact information. Facebook also includes core applications – Photos, Events, Videos, Groups, and Pages – that let people connect and share in rich and engaging ways. Additionally, people can communicate with one another through Chat, personal messages, Wall posts, Pokes, or Status Updates.

We help your business connect with your customers that use Facebook

  • Average user has 130 friends (spreads the word quick among friends)
  • Average user is connected to 80 community pages, groups and events
  • More than 900 million objects that people interact with (pages, groups, events and community pages)
  • More than 800 million active users

What we do better than anyone in the world:

  • Set Your Strategy. “Make things as simple as possible. But, not simpler than that.” Einstein said it. We live it. The social media landscape is so vast it can make one’s eyes glaze over. We distill it down to its’ essence and handcraft the simplest, most effective social media program for our clients. Our social media programs elevate brand equity, foster word-of-mouth marketing, drive revenue, elevate customer service, win new customers and transform current customers into vocal brand evangelistsDetermine the most efficient, effective, results-driven social media program. Social media is like a fine wine: more is not better. Better is better
  • Create Your Content. This is the era of compelling content. There is an overabundance of information which is causing people to seek authentic, credible sources of information. We help our clients hone their brand messages and then we craft the most compelling content on their behalf to build brand equity, gain trust among their target markets and drive business in an elegant, effective way;
  • Monitor Your Brand — and Engage Your Audience. We believe that the ability to hear what everyone is saying about your brand, across every area of the Web, is nothing short of historic — and a dream scenario for any brand. We use a highly-sophisticated set of brand monitoring and “sentiment analysis” tools to listen to what people really think about your company. And then we engage your audience, countering and neutralizing the negative while lifting up and publicizing the positive. We have an unbeatable track record in this regard: responding to postings within hours; speed-of-response is paramount to success in brand monitoring and engagement.
  • Generate Market Research. One of the great strengths of social media is “crowdsourcing,” namely: mining the intellectual capital of your most vocal brand advocates and letting them take some ownership over the brand. EHSM is extremely effective at generating valuable, relevant “on-the-ground” market research for our clients as we concurrently build brand loyalty for them.
  • Constantly Measure, Hone, Refine & Report. In social media, it is imperative to test, measure and refine constantly. Barack Obama’s campaign did this beautifully in the 2008 presidential campaign. They tested every call-to-action button, every color scheme, every photo…everything. What they thought would work ended up not resonating with their audience. They would have never known what buttons and copy worked best had they not tested it via Google Multivariate testing. We do that and more. One example: we use “heat maps” to see exactly what website visitors are doing — to ensure the highest possible ROI for our clients;
  • Provide “Traditional PR” Services. We are a hybrid social media/traditional media agency. We garner earned media for our clients as well as any PR firm in the world. We can handle “social media release” creation and distribution, media coaching, media booking and communications management. PR is the most credible form of coverage, it’s free and it’s highly-effective when combined with social media.

Marketing Consulting to attract more and more customers

Are your marketing tactics not giving you the leads you need to grow? It’s time for a Marketing Strategy!

Can your small business use expert marketing help?

As a small business owner have you ever said “If I can just get in front of more qualified prospects, I can almost always turn them into clients. I just need more prospects”?

Unfortunately, your future customers don’t know you, probably don’t want to listen to you, are generally skeptical, hate making decisions, and resist change at any cost. Taking your business to the “next level” requires a compelling marketing strategy to routinely attract more and more of these prospects and systematically turn them into valuable customers. Add Local’s mission is to help our clients learn how to think differently, and create intelligent marketing strategies that do just that.

Many small business owners find marketing frustrating. After all, they aren’t marketing experts and they can’t afford their own professional marketing departments. They don’t really know where to start, so they often try different tactics and discover these ads, or direct mail, or web sites, or other vehicles, just don’t deliver the repeatable results they require to really grow.

Too often, confronted with this dilemma, business owners make the Same Marketing Mistake. They continue to try to improve by doing it all themselves and waste valuable time as their competitors increase market share. There is a much better way. A way to get the marketing help you need. A proven way to start to consistently grow your small business right now and begin to dominate your market.

  3. Package your business
  4. Create marketing materials that educate

  6. Automate and dominate
  7. Live by the calendar

With a real Marketing Strategy in place, you’ll be amazed at the results.

Map search, or local search, is a growing trend online and the major search engines do a good job of displaying local businesses inside their Map products. Google is the leader in this space and by including Map results within the regular search results, for local search queries, exposure in Google Maps is more important than ever.

Improving Rankings in Google Maps

Maps optimization has become an important part of our local SEO services and where possible we aim to achieve high rankings in both Maps and organic results on the same search page. This boosts the brand power and credibility of our clients in their local areas, not to mention more traffic and sales.

Google uses a different process for choosing who gets listed here and how local businesses are ranked in maps listings. Different from how sites are ranked in organic search results that is. We know what to takes to get noticed in Google Maps Business Listings and can help your business get more traffic from these local search engines.

Maps Now Appearing for Broad Search Terms!

Google recently made a change to their search results for lots of broad level search terms. If the search might have a local intent they now show a Map at mid page. By broad terms we mean things like Dentist, Pizza, Landscaper, Lawyer, etc… Those broad terms now display a map and use IP geo-targeting, to determine the searchers location, to serve up local results. This is making Google Maps optimization even more important than ever before.
