Texas Digital Marketing

What is Digital Marketing for Texas Small Businesses?

In a most simple definition, online advertising throughout Texas is the process of advertising products or services through online channels like websites, search engines, social media, email, or mobile apps to prospective clients.

Digital marketing means search engine optimization or paid ads to most Texas business owners. While both of those services are used in digital advertising, neither fully explain the depth of a modern internet advertising program for Texas-based small businesses.

The latest online advertising campaigns often use numerous website advertising plans, all working together to help you get more visibility and conversions throughout Texas and the rest of the United States.

The best Texas digital marketing plans will include plans like:

• Drive traffic to your digital assets (websites, apps, sales funnels, etc) through affiliate marketing, paid advertising, SEO, or SEO.
• Boost your Texas business's revenue through landing page creation, sales funnel development, and conversion rate optimization.
• Track how visitors interact with your digital assets to help you better understand areas of improvement, retargeting opportunities, or conversion rates.
• Build expertise, authority, and trust in Texas with content marketing, video production, backlink building, reviews, and social proof.
• Create and nurture relationships with email, SMS, and social media.

Our Website Advertising Strategies for Texas Businesses

We are a team of digital advertising consultants with diverse knowledge and experience in the latest internet advertising trends for Texas small businesses. We've helped build traffic and improve conversions across more than 100 business industries in Texas, and the rest of the United States, so let's work together.

SEO Tactics for Texas Organizations

If you want your website to appear on the first page of search results throughout Texas for competitive phrases, you must take a holistic approach to your digital advertising service. To show value to search engines, you need to review your technical, on-page, and off-page SEO.

When we take on new website advertising clients in Texas, we often find page speed, content quality, and backlink profile problems. Technical, on-site, and off-page SEO can fix each of these issues and more. Let's explore more about each of these Texas SEO plans:

• For Texas organizations, technical SEO planning includes things like website speed, site security, XML sitemaps, website architecture, structured data, Open Graph tags, and broken links. These affect how Google reads and traverses your content, and how visitors interact with your Texas site. You typically need the assistance of Texas web designers to improve technical search engine optimization problems since they are often related to the platform or template used on your website. We have an internal team of web designers that can work within platforms such as Shopify and WordPress.
• On-Page SEO for Texas websites includes factors such as frequently asked questions, page titles, meta tags, images, keyword research, content silos, content writing, internal linking, competitive analysis, and frequently asked questions. If you improve these on-page search engine optimization factors, search engines will better understand the value of your content and recognize you as an authority in Texas 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 Texas digital marketing strategy.
• A big part of Texas search engine optimization involves your backlink profile which includes the number and quality of backlinks pointing to your website, the naturalness of your anchor text and link velocity, the authority and relevancy of your links, social signals, and a lot more. It is important to increase natural backlinks to your website's homepage and interior pages to help search engines understand your Texas website and content is deemed worthy of third-party recognition.

In your Texas online marketing plan, you can't focus just on one or two areas of an SEO plan. A fast website with no content or backlinks will rarely rank on the first page of search results. The same is true for other scenarios where two areas of SEO have been optimized, but one was neglected. Make sure you're keeping track of all the elements on the Texas search engine optimization checklist so your competitors can't easily bypass you in search placements.

Link Building Services for Texas Companies

Although we've already discussed the importance of building authoritative links in off-page search engine optimization, it's worth pointing out again since Texas organization owners often don't understand this part of SEO.

You'll almost always find large retailers in product-specific search results and long-standing service companies in nearby Texas results if you look at the first page of search results for competitive keywords and long-tail phrases. 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 is because search engines use backlinks to determine how authoritative your site and content are on a particular subject.

To improve your own web pages, you must improve quality backlinks to your homepage and interior pages using white-hat SEO backlink authority building services. It is critical to see this as a long-term endeavor for your Texas website advertising strategy. 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 Texas search results. You need to establish a link-building strategy that will provide consistent and steady growth of quality backlinks to your Texas website from relevant pages and social media accounts. Most of all, you need to keep the backlink profile of your Texas 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.

We utilize numerous white-hat link building techniques in our Texas online marketing packages, including:

• Utilizing the "Skyscraper Technique" to build a bigger, better version of a ranked content article from Texas competitors.
• Writing in-depth articles to have featured on third-party websites as a guest post, which includes a link back to your Texas 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 Texas small business.
• Responding to HARO requests from news reporters searching for expert opinions and feedback from people in your business industry.
• Adding your website to industry-specific directories by scanning Texas competitors (or national competitors) to see their most valuable business listings and NAP citations (Name, Address, Phone).

Online Reputation Management Tactics (ORM) for Texas Organizations

Your online reputation in Texas 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 area service provider in Texas, 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 Texas brand.

For local service companies in Texas, we can help you develop a review generation program within your online advertising to increase the rate at which past customers leave reviews for your business. 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 Texas storefront. Online shoppers in Texas 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 Texas doctors or Texas attorneys, we can help establish protocols within your website advertising service 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 Texas website. In some cases, even SEO can be used to help curate the best possible first-page results for your online reputation in and around Texas.

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 area competition.

Content Marketing Tactics for Texas Companies

Most Texas businesses 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 advertising approach for Texas 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 Texas 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 Texas digital marketing 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 tactics 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 Texas internet marketing service provider. These are all effective ways to market content if you implement them correctly within your Texas business.

Social Ads Tactics for Texas Businesses

The use of social media marketing in Texas digital marketing involves paid advertising being run on social platforms like Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook. These social media 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 paid advertising function as a proper lead generation or sales generation tool for your Texas organization.

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 Texas small businesses, it can be an expensive method for businesses that aren't ready to take full advantage of social media advertising.

We help Texas small businesses and large corporations build out the necessary sales funnels and lead generation tools to make the most of their social media marketing. We also recommend putting in place plans for conversion optimization and retargeting within these Texas online marketing packages, 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 media marketing service, you must be mindful of ad decay and ad fatigue to prevent your campaigns from becoming stagnant and suffering from degraded performance.

Search Ads Tactics for Texas Organizations

The use of Texas search engine advertising in online marketing 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 Texas business to an engaged audience that is actively looking for your products or services. The downside is the cost of setting up an effective and scalable paid ads 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 get revenue, which makes paid advertising a cost-effective Texas internet advertising strategy. For any search engine marketing service in Texas, we recommend creating a plan for retargeting and conversion rate optimization to improve your return on investment.

Conversion Funnel Development for Texas Small Businesses

A sales funnel, or purchase funnel, is the visual representation of your customer's journey with your Texas organization. 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 Texas business. 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 creation of a conversion funnel for your Texas business 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 Texas small businesses. To develop a sales funnel that produces value for your Texas company, 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 self-liquidating funnels, automated webinar funnels, lead magnet funnels, self-liquidating funnels, automated webinar funnels, lead magnet funnels, and dozens of others to consider. When you work with one of our internet advertising experts, you will have an experienced website marketer to bounce ideas off to help you determine the best type of revenue funnel for your business. 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 Texas website advertising service.

Conversion Rate Optimization for Texas Small Businesses

There is almost no reason to neglect CRO within Texas internet advertising strategies. This is a critical aspect of any type of online advertising in Texas since it directly impacts the ability of the marketing campaign 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 plan, 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 plans that work for one Texas business might not work for a different Texas small business, even when both are in the same industry.

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

True conversion rate optimization for Texas 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 Texas, and many other factors.

Email Marketing Solutions for Texas Organizations

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

We help our Texas website marketing customers 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 Texas email marketing clients build and nurture their email marketing lists by implementing email collection opportunities within lead magnets, exit-intent popups, checkout processes, squeeze pages, referral programs, affiliate programs, and numerous other methods.

Lead Generation Tactics for Texas Organizations

For local service providers in Texas, 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, Texas lead generation tactics are going to be critical.

There are many types of lead generation plans to consider, all of which have been tried and implemented by our internet advertising team at some point in the past. The most common lead gen tactics 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 website marketing plans where lead generation is a primary goal, our team will develop and implement one or more lead gen plans in your digital assets to test what works best for your Texas small business.

Video Marketing for Texas Small Businesses

As a complete internet advertising company for Texas, we have our own in-house video production and video marketing department. This has been extremely helpful for content marketing plans that required creative 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 good applications for video production within your Texas digital marketing strategy. You can use videos to demonstrate unique products, teach new concepts, and improve visitor duration. You can also implement videos within Texas digital advertising services to bring life to paid campaigns.

Why You Should Invest in Internet Advertising for Your Texas Website

If you manage a business in Texas that relies on selling a product or service you will eventually consider some form of marketing to improve revenue. You might be thinking about Texas 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 Texas business:

• Digital marketing can often be more affordable than other forms of marketing, because it can be started with a small budget and scaled up as it succeeds.
• With valuable reporting tools like Google Analytics, you can learn how many visitors interacted with your brand, how long they stayed on your website, and if they came back to your website in the days, weeks, or months following their first visit.
• Everyone in Texas is constantly on their phones, tablets, and desktop computers. You might as well choose a format and medium that can follow your target audience wherever they go in Texas.
• The flexibility of Texas internet marketing is far greater than print marketing, billboard ads, television ads, or radio commercials that can't be updated as easily.
• User engagement is best with internet advertising in Texas. You'll have to work hard to get people to like, comment, and share your non-digital ads in Texas!

How to Develop Texas Online Marketing Services

Before starting your website marketing plan for your Texas-based business, it is important to create a plan with measurable business goals. Your team needs to know what the business's ultimate goal is so you don't spend time on things that won't help.

1.) Identify your target audience

With a clear set of business goals in place, you can move on to identifying a target audience. Knowing who you're targeting in Texas or beyond is important. Your Texas digital marketing efforts will be more effective when you use platforms your target audience is on and messaging that makes sense with them.

2.) Determine audience needs

Now that you understand your business goals and your target customer, you can make an informed decision regarding the needs and search intent of your Texas audience. By doing this, you'll make sure your Texas digital marketing plan focuses on the right keywords and you align it with your audience's needs.

3.) Start slower moving packages sooner

If you plan to incorporate search engine optimization in your Texas digital strategy, make that your first priority. Search engine optimization is the slowest moving online advertising strategy. Search engines take weeks or months to recognize and index the changes you make to your website, your content, and your backlinks.

4.) Build out quality landing pages or funnels

This is a good time to consider paid ads for your Texas business and its digital assets. It's best to create a landing page or sales funnel instead of sending paid traffic to your product page, service page, or home page. Most paid advertising campaigns in Texas that have high bounce rates and low conversion rates make the mistake of sending traffic to a page that isn't optimized to convert a cold audience. Use splash pages and sales funnels to lead Texas residents to your lead generation goal.

5.) Create automated email sequences for retargeting

As soon as your Texas website boosts 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. Consider building an email list, sending SMS alerts for new offers, or setting up tracking pixels to retarget Texas website visitors.

6.) Plan for continuous testing

When these Texas digital marketing tactics are in place you are ready to enter the testing and optimization phase. In doing this, you're measuring how well your campaigns are doing, searching for ways to improve them, and even trying new ideas 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 Texas internet advertising plan.
