Customers – Getting To Know Them

posted on: August 3rd, 2010

If there's one skill an internet marketing professional needs more than all the others, it's knowing their customers. Knowing what drives and motivates your customers, and understanding that motivation, is the biggest step on the road to web marketing success. Finding out takes effort of course. Study the habits of customers; gather information on what makes them come to you instead of your competitors. If you can find out where your main competitors are failing to understand their customers, you'll improve your chances of winning customers from them, as well as new customers. As ever, keyword research is a major factor. There may be phrases that signify the importance of cost or customer relationships. It's possible that reputation and credibility are important to your existing and potential customers. If you can learn what phrases and words can be traced to decisions to buy, you can optimise your site to maximise their effectiveness. Analysis of your competitors is important too. Take a critical look at your own site in relation to theirs. What are they getting right? What are they doing to motivate their customers that you aren't? Find the answers to these questions and use the information to improve your own site. Finally, never forget the importance of expert advice. Research customer motivation in your market sector. Collect customer feedback and analyse the results, acting on both praise and criticism. At Click Consult we can help you collect, analyse and act upon all the information you need to motivate your customers.

Long Tail Keywords Get You Higher

posted on: July 30th, 2010

What are long tail keywords? They are phrases rather than single words, generally up to four words long. Phrases are more descriptive than single keywords and will result in more specific search results. For instance, "Russian" will get you 416 million results on Bing and the sites listed at the top of page one may not be relevant to the searcher's needs. Enter "Russian online language tuition" and you'll get 843 thousand results and the top sites listed on page one are all likely to be relevant to the searcher's term. Getting the best search engine rankings for single keywords is a hard-won, long-term process but there are some quick wins to be had if you concentrate your efforts on long tail keywords with little or no competition. These are likely to quickly gain top page ranking and remain there. Your keyword research needs to be focused in order to determine which long tail keywords will have the most success. Click Consult are an internet marketing company offering a range of services to support search engine optimisation. We provide a free keyword generator which can be used to enter single words or phrases, resulting in lists of specially optimised keywords that you can incorporate in your website. You can test long tail keywords directly in search engines, entering terms that you predict customers might use. The potential for sales from long tail keyword searches is greater because the customer is able to pinpoint more accurately what is required.
