Florida Digital Marketing

What is Digital Marketing for Florida Small Businesses?

Simply put, digital marketing throughout Florida is advertising your products through online channels like websites, search engines, social media, email, or mobile apps.

Most Florida business owners think of digital advertising as another phrase for SEO or paid ads. While both of those services are used in online marketing, neither fully explain the depth of a fresh website marketing program for Florida-based small businesses.

Today's digital marketing campaigns often include dozens of digital advertising plans, all working in tandem to help you improve visibility and conversions throughout Florida and the United States.

For example, the best internet advertising plans in Florida will include plans to:

• Drive traffic to your digital assets (websites, apps, sales funnels, etc) by using SEO, social media marketing, affiliate marketing, or paid advertising.
• Boost Florida small business revenue with landing pages, sales funnels, and conversion rate optimization.
• Track how visitors interact with your digital assets to figure out improvement areas, retargeting opportunities, or conversion rates.
• Show expertise, authority, and trust in Florida through content marketing, video production, backlink authority building, review collection, social proof, and website improvements.
• Build and nurture relationships through email marketing, SMS marketing, and social media management.

SEO Strategies for Florida Small Businesses

To bring your website into the first page of search results throughout Florida for competitive phrases you must take a holistic approach to SEO within your website advertising service. This means reviewing your technical, on-page, and off-page search engine optimization, since all three aspects of SEO work together, to show value to search engines.

Oftentimes, we find issues with page speed, content quality, and backlink strength when we take on new clients in Florida. All these SEO problems can be solved with off-page, technical, and on-page search engine optimization. Now let's take a look at each of these Florida SEO plans:

• Technical SEO for Florida businesses includes factors such as website speed, site security, XML sitemaps, website architecture, structured data, Open Graph tags, and broken pages. These impact how Google reads and traverses your content, and how visitors interact with your Florida website. You typically need the assistance of Florida website developers to improve technical SEO concerns since they are often related to the platform or theme used on your website. We have an internal team of website designers skilled in common platforms like WordPress and Shopify.
• Onsite search engine optimization for Florida websites includes things like page titles, meta tags, images, keyword research, content silos, content writing, internal linking, competitive analysis, frequently asked questions, and page titles. If you improve these on-site SEO factors, search engines will better understand the value of your content and recognize you as an authority in Florida or the whole of the United States. Also, it will help increase important metrics like "time on site" for your visitors, which shows search engines you gave them something they liked. Never underestimate the value and importance of content creation within your Florida digital marketing plan.
• Off-Site search engine optimization for Florida websites is essentially the state of your backlink profile, which is the number of backlinks and referring domains pointing to your website, the naturalness of your anchor text and link velocity, the authority and relevance of your backlinks, signals from social media channels, and many other factors. It is important to build natural backlinks to your website's homepage and interior pages to help search engines understand your Florida website and content is deemed worthy of third-party recognition.

The important takeaway is to understand you can't focus on just one or two areas of search engine optimization in your Florida digital marketing strategy. A fast website with no content or backlinks will rarely rank on the first page of search results. It's the same for other scenarios where two parts of SEO have been optimized, but one was ignored. Ensure that your Florida competitors (and national competitors) can't just pass you by completing all the search engine optimization checklist items.

Backlink Building Strategies for Florida Businesses

We've already briefly discussed the importance of building authoritative links in off-site SEO, but it's worth mentioning again since Florida business owners often don't understand this area of search engine optimization.

When you look at the first page of search results for competitive keywords and long-tail phrases, you will almost always find large retailers in product-specific search results and long-standing service providers in local Florida search results. If you further review the exact pages of these search results you will often find the number of backlinks to those pages is far greater than your own relevant pages. That's because search engines use backlinks to figure out how authoritative a website is in its industry.

Using white-hat SEO backlink authority building services, you can improve your own web pages by building quality backlinks to your homepage and interior pages. For your Florida website advertising strategy, you must see this as a long-term project. Don't get excited about this for a few weeks and build dozens of backlinks, then move on to something else for several months or years. That lack of commitment will only serve to keep you off the first page of Florida search results. You need to establish a link-building strategy that will provide consistent and steady growth of quality backlinks to your Florida website from relevant pages and social media accounts. Most of all, you need to keep the backlink profile of your Florida website natural by not overdoing exact-match phrases, buying numerous backlinks from private block networks (PBNs), or participating in any other black-hat link-building method.

When it comes to Florida online marketing, we use numerous white-hat link building techniques, including:

• Applying the "Skyscraper Technique" to a ranked content articles from Florida competitors to make it bigger and better.
• Writing in-depth articles to have featured on third-party websites as a guest post, which includes a link back to your Florida website.
• Reaching out to high-authority websites to suggest content improvements to existing articles that may have become outdated, or didn't cover a specific topic relevant to your Florida business.
• Responding to HARO requests from news reporters looking for expert opinions and feedback from people in your business industry.
• Adding your website to industry-specific directories by scanning Florida competitors (or national competitors) to see their most valuable business listings and NAP citations (Name, Address, Phone).

Online Reputation Management Strategies (ORM) for Florida Small Businesses

Your online reputation in Florida and beyond is an important trust factor search engines use to determine rank positions, and your target audience uses it to make purchasing decisions. This is true for all types of purchases and decision-making, ranging from the selection of a local service provider in Florida, the purchase of a product on an ecommerce store, and even the selection of a physician or attorney for a personal matter. People love reading about the positive experiences, and sometimes even more about negative experiences, that others had with your Florida brand.

For local area service companies in Florida, we can help you develop a review generation program within your online marketing to increase the rate at which past customers leave reviews for your company. This often involves collecting reviews on Google My Business, UpCity, Yellow Pages, Angi, Yelp, and other online review collection websites.

If you run an ecommerce business, we can help with the collection of product reviews and company reviews. For an ecommerce business, it is important to collect reviews for both the quality of your products and the customer service experience of your Florida storefront. Online shoppers in Florida want to know the product they are purchasing is of sufficient quality or utility, but they also need to know you will be there to fulfill the order and answer questions after the sale.

For the reputation of professional service providers, such as Florida doctors or Florida attorneys, we can help establish protocols within your website marketing plan for the collection of testimonials to ensure prospects always see a positive image of you. This includes review generation, reputation monitoring, online reputation repair, survey campaigns, and social media growth for your Florida website. In some cases, even search engine optimization can be used to help curate the best possible first-page results for your online reputation in and around Florida.

The risk of ignoring your online reputation is the loss of long-term business, which often isn't noticed until significant damage has been accumulated. Take control of your online reputation today to ensure you always put forth a better image than your local competition.

Content Marketing Strategies for Florida Small Businesses

Most Florida companies use content marketing as a means of attracting, engaging, and retaining a high-interest audience by creating and sharing relevant blog articles, instructional videos, case studies, white papers, and other digital media. This website marketing approach for Florida websites helps establish your company as an industry thought leader, while also helping you dominate organic search results and the attention span of your target audience.

When your target customers in and around Florida begin to identify your brand as the source of valuable advice or guidance you will find it is easier to guide them through your sales funnel. We help Florida website advertising clients put together the right content marketing plan for their specific business industry and goals.

It is important to identify your target audience before starting a content marketing plan. This will help you understand the best media format for the content, whether that be informative blog posts, detailed case studies, informal whitepapers, best-in-class listicles, or drip email campaigns. It will also help you determine the best delivery method, which can be from social media, search results, or some other medium.

We often help implement content marketing strategies that involve blog content, infographics, podcasts, videos, email campaigns, whitepapers, case studies, surveys, webinars, checklists, listicles, and lead magnets. We particularly like using the case study method because it is a powerful tool for showing expertise as a Florida digital advertising service provider. These are all effective ways to market content if you implement them correctly within your Florida organization.

Social Media Marketing Strategies for Florida Companies

The use of social media advertising in Florida website advertising involves paid ads being run on social platforms like Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Instagram. These social channels offer a quick and effective method for connecting to your target audience by allowing you to select interests, behaviors, and demographics. However, the downside can be the added cost of setting up the campaigns, creating landing pages, building out sales funnels, and performing conversion rate optimization to ensure the PPC advertising function as a proper lead generation or sales generation tool for your Florida small business.

By leveraging the data sources of social media platforms, advertisers can hyper-target their audiences to deliver personalized content based on demographics, behaviors, interests, and other factors. While this is an enormous opportunity for most established Florida businesses, it can be an expensive method for businesses that aren't ready to take full advantage of social media ads.

We help Florida small businesses and large corporations build out the necessary sales funnels and lead generation tools to make the most of their social media advertising. We also recommend putting in place plans for conversion optimization and retargeting within these Florida internet advertising plans, both of which will help improve the return on ad spend you see within your campaigns. Let's not forget to mention the freshness of your ad creatives. When running a social advertising plan, you must be mindful of ad decay and ad fatigue to prevent your campaigns from becoming stagnant and suffering from degraded performance.

Search Engine Advertising Strategies for Florida Small Businesses

The use of Florida search advertising in internet advertising involves paid advertising being run on search engines like Google and Bing. You will find that Google Ads and Bing Ads offer a quick and effective method for connecting your Florida company to an engaged audience that is actively searching for your products or services. The downside is the cost of setting up an effective and scalable paid advertising campaign, which often involves the creation of landing pages or sales funnels that are optimized for conversion opportunities.

We help businesses of all sizes build out the necessary landing pages and funnels to drive leads and drive revenue, which makes PPC advertising a cost-effective Florida internet marketing plan. For any search engine marketing plan in Florida, we recommend creating a plan for retargeting and conversion rate optimization to improve your return on investment.

Funnel Development for Florida Businesses

A sales funnel, or purchase funnel, is the visual representation of your customer's journey with your Florida small business. The illustration of a sales funnel, which is often referred to as a marketing funnel or revenue funnel, looks just like a physical funnel you'd use to pour a liquid into a container. The top of the funnel is always larger because it illustrates the large number of potential customers that might interact with your Florida organization. The funnel narrows at the bottom to represent the various exit points within the sales process. Naturally, the bottom of the funnel is the smallest part because it represents the number of people who converted through the generation of a lead or the sale of a product.

The development of a funnel for your Florida organization is more difficult than the explanation of its concepts. For example, some of the most successful sales funnels produce millions of dollars of value each day for their Florida businesses. To develop a sales funnel that produces value for your Florida small business, you must put thought into the goal of the sales funnel and the type of sales funnel you want to implement.

There are numerous types of sales funnels, including affiliate sales funnels, self-liquidating funnels, automated webinar funnels, lead magnet funnels, self-liquidating funnels, automated webinar funnels, and dozens of others to consider. When you work with one of our internet marketing specialists, you will have an experienced online marketer to bounce ideas off to help you determine the best type of revenue funnel for your company. Alternatively, if you don't have an interest in being involved in the process, we can research more about your business and industry to determine the best funnels to explore and test within your Florida website marketing plan.

CRO for Florida Businesses

There is almost no reason to neglect conversion optimization within Florida internet marketing solutions. This is a critical aspect of any type of online marketing in Florida since it directly impacts the ability of the marketing service to provide value for the small business or large corporation paying for the marketing service.

Boosting conversion rates can have a huge impact on your bottom line. Before you pursue a CRO strategy, it is important to understand what it is, how it works, and how to evaluate the service. This is a time-intensive process that involves plenty of iterative research and testing. What makes it most difficult is the CRO tactics that work for one Florida organization might not work for a different Florida business, even when both are in the same industry.

The most common CRO tactics include reducing form fields on contact forms, testing different call-to-action phrases, creating attractive headlines, implementing a sense of urgency, fixing mobile website errors, improving site performance, adding exit-intent popups, defining value for the visitor, and adding trust and social proof signals.

True conversion rate optimization for Florida websites can become much more complex. To really dive into CRO, we must fully understand your business offer, your competitors, the strengths and weaknesses of your value proposition, how visitors are currently interacting with your digital assets, your online reputation in Florida, and many other factors.

Email Marketing Services for Florida Small Businesses

You can use email marketing within a digital strategy to drive brand awareness, get site traffic, improve sales and revenue, bring awareness to your social media profiles, engage past customers, and gain valuable information about your target audience.

We help our Florida online advertising clients use Mail Chimp, Campaign Monitor, and Constant Contact for their email marketing campaigns. These are robust email marketing tools to create subscriber lists, segment your audience, and even develop email marketing drip campaigns.

The most important part of email marketing is developing a plan to increase your subscribers. We help Florida email marketing customers build and nurture their email marketing lists by implementing email collection opportunities within checkout processes, lead magnets, exit-intent popups, checkout processes, squeeze pages, referral programs, and numerous other methods.

Lead Generation Strategies for Florida Small Businesses

For nearby service providers in Florida, the most important part of an inbound marketing program is lead generation. Not everything can be sold on the internet. For a lot of products and services, a phone conversation or in-person conversation is needed to close the sale. For these types of business industries, Florida lead generation strategies are going to be critical.

There are many types of lead generation tactics to consider, all of which have been tried and implemented by our internet marketing team at some point in the past. The most common lead gen strategies include the creation of helpful content, retargeting past website visitors, nurturing past contacts with email marketing, engaging visitors with live chat, developing free tools for visitors to use, creating referral programs and affiliate programs, creating video content that can be shared online, setting up free webinars for visitors to attend, and offering helpful downloadable content in a lead magnet.

For most online advertising campaigns where lead generation is a primary goal, our team will develop and implement one or more lead gen tactics in your digital assets to test what works best for your Florida small organization.

Video Marketing for Florida Businesses

As a comprehensive internet marketing agency for Florida, we have our own in-house video production and video marketing department. This has been extremely helpful for content marketing tactics that required original video assets. More importantly, we've used our video production department for the creation of video ads on YouTube and video marketing within Facebook Ads campaigns. There are many great applications for video production within your Florida website advertising strategy. You can use videos to demonstrate unique products, teach new concepts, and improve visitor duration. You can also implement videos within Florida digital marketing plans to bring life to paid campaigns.

Why You Should Invest in Internet Marketing for Your Florida Website

If you run a business in Florida that sells products or services, you're going to need marketing to improve sales. There are many reasons to consider Florida online marketing packages over other, more traditional, marketing strategies. Let's go over some of the good reasons to implement our digital marketing strategy within your Florida business:

• Digital marketing is often more affordable than other forms of marketing because it can be started at a low amount and scaled as success is measured.
• With the use of valuable reporting tools like Google Analytics, you can get better insights into how many visitors interacted with your brand, how long your marketing efforts kept their attention, and if you were able to bring them back to your website in the days, weeks, or months after their first interaction.
• There's no shortage of phones, tablets, and desktop computers in Florida. Choose a marketing format and medium that enables you to reach your target audience anywhere they go in Florida, and beyond.
• Florida internet marketing has way more flexibility than print marketing, billboard ads, TV ads, or radio commercials, which can't be updated as easily.
• Online marketing in Florida provides the best capacity for user engagement. Good luck getting people to comment, like, or share your non-digital advertisements throughout Florida!

How to Develop Florida Internet Advertising Plans

To start your online advertising campaign for your Florida small business, you need a plan with measurable goals. You want to ensure everyone involved understands the ultimate goal of the Florida digital marketing service to prevent spending time on ideas that won't positively impact the business.

1.) Identify your target audience

With a clear set of business goals in place, you can move on to identifying a target audience. It is important to understand who you are targeting in Florida or beyond. This helps you tailor your Florida digital advertising efforts to platforms your audience engages in and that you use messaging that resonates with your target audience.

2.) Determine audience needs

Now that you know your business goals and your target customer, you can make an informed decision about their needs and search intent. You'll be able to focus on the right keywords for your Florida internet marketing and align your content marketing plan to your audience's needs.

3.) Start slower moving plans sooner

Search engine optimization should be your first priority if you plan to incorporate it into your Florida digital plan. The slowest moving website marketing tactic in Florida is SEO. The improvements you make to your website, your content, and your backlinks can take weeks or months for search engines to fully recognize and have an impact on your placements.

4.) Build out quality landing pages or funnels

This is a good time to consider paid advertising for your Florida business and its digital assets. However, rather than sending paid traffic to your product page, service page, or home page, you should consider the creation of a landing page or sales funnel. Ad campaigns in Florida that have high bounce rates and low conversion rates often send traffic to a page that isn't optimized for converting cold traffic. Use splash pages and sales funnels to lead Florida residents to your lead gen goal.

5.) Create automated email sequences for retargeting

As soon as your Florida website drives traffic, you should think about how to keep in touch with those visitors. Not everyone who visits your website, landing page, or sales funnel will convert on the first visit. You should consider options to build an email marketing list, offer SMS alerts for new offers, or set up tracking pixels to retarget recent visitors to your Florida website.

6.) Plan for continuous testing

When these Florida internet marketing strategies are in place you are ready to enter the testing and optimization phase. This involves constantly measuring the success of your campaigns, searching for areas of improvement, and even trying new ideas that you read about in case studies or white papers. You should always be in a state of conversion rate optimization throughout all aspects of your Florida online advertising campaign.
