The Impact Reviews Have On A Business

By MSW -
Reviews are important for a business but they may have more of an impact on your online presence than you realize. As an internet marketing company in mid-Missouri, we know the importance of online reviews and how they can impact businesses. If you've been wondering why reviews are so vital to your business, let MSW Interactive Designs help answer that very question!

Reviews are a factor in search result rankings.

Online star ratings of a business is a factor in search engine rankings. This means that the more reviews and the better reviews you have, the better chance you have at ranking higher in online searches. There are hundreds of factors that go into online rankings but having the knowledge that reviews are a heavily weighted factor can help you influence your business's SEO!

Establish credibility for your brand.

Consumers trust peer feedback over many other factors about a business. Your online reputation can help showcase your business as a trusted company for potential customers who may be searching for businesses like yours. Getting more positive reviews can help up your overall star rating which is often a first-glance factor that eager customers notice.

Gain new marketing material.

Use your reviews to help better market your business. Publish your reviews on your website and social media. This can help reiterate that your business is the best in your sector. Having reviews on your website can also help push an interested party to become a buyer/customer of yours.

Pro Tip: When you get a great review, update your website to feature it. Fresh content is another factor that's used to rank website and the more updates (like reviews), the better!

Online interactions are a good thing. 

The more social signals being sent online about your business the better. Having reviews written about your business only helps increase the number of social interactions.

Pro Tip: Reply to your business reviews. This can help show that you care about your customer feedback to potential customers who are reading reviews about your business.

Blogs versus Websites

By MSW -
I recently had a client ask me if they should have a blog instead of a website. In formulating my answer to that question, it occurred to me that other clients may be interested in the answer, as well ... hence my decision to add it to my blog. Every small business should have a website . It's simply expected by your existing customers and potential customers. Every business should have a blog, as well ... perhaps there are a few exceptions. The blog and the website complement each other. The anwer is ... BOTH! Your website is your rock - it's the foundation of your presence online. It can be as simple as an online sales brochure or as complex as a full eCommerce storefront. Your customers will ask you for your website address, not your blog address. Your business should definitely have a website. Your blog enhances your website. It is a tool (like a journal) that you contribute to on a regular basis - daily, weekly, whatever works best for you. When you contribute to your blog

Another year has passed and the team at MSW Interactive Designs has identified some trends you should keep an eye on for your business internet marketing . As we said in our previous blog, your website is no longer enough for you to stay on top and these trends seem to back up our thinking! 1) Mobile will dominate the market and your desktop.  Google is paying much more attention to mobile searches than it ever has. In fact, according to Google, a mobile version of your website is “perfectly acceptable” and an optimized desktop website may not be needed. We still think a great looking, properly optimized desktop website is needed, but you can’t ignore the direction Google is giving us. Get a mobile optimized site for 2016 if you don’t already have one. 2) Facebook is still the King of Social Media . According to Statista.com , Facebook users will rise to 161 MILLION in 2016 and continue to rise to 172 Million by 2019. That’s a lot of potential customers. Facebook
