Social Media


 Looking For Better Search Engine Ranking Or Help With Social Media Marketing ?


If your looking for help with your social media , before deciding on the one with the best website or the firm that talks the talk , try checking out if they have any classified advertisements ranked or Facebook fanpages , if not ask yourself "what kind of social media consultant are they that cant even rank their own youtube video or fanpage . How can they proclaim to be such experts if their google places listing isnt ranked ? or they arent showing at the very minimum on the first page listings on google maps . Before you shell out a single penny on these services , before you read their fancy email , think , can they actually do the job you want them to do ? 
One such Social Media Consultant , from Birmingham , Steve , has his classified ads , fanpages and individual site pages ranking for different terms , not just to generate traffic but as proof of his expertise and knowledge . 
So , if your looking for a Social Media Consultant , do a little homework first , and dont rely on them telling you how fantastic they are for £20 or £30 per hour , ask them where you can find examples of the work they claim to be able to offer to you , the customer . Many will tell you that they can`t reveal customers details or keywords but any Social Media Consultant worth his or her salt will have ranked their own website on page one , if not move on and find someone who can .

Is social media good for your business



Social media really is something you should  be giving some consideration to , because social media can be really good for your business.

Here are 7  reasons why your business needs social media :-

1. You can give instant  support. Turn your occasional unhappy customers into raving fans by dealing with them directly, quickly, and in a satisfactory manner.

2.  It offers ways to get your name out there and keep your name out there. Don't get forgotten or left behind; offer discounts or limited-time offers or whatever works for your particular company. It's about branding.

3.  Social media  offers you a chance to show a bit of the face behind the brand. This means a lot to people.

4.  It's another way to be found - you might not be found on the first page of a Google search if you're a little guy competing against the big guys, but you can be seen when you use social media.
