The more Google likes a site, the higher it will rank in their holier-than-thou results. The more clicks and shares, the more Google thinks a site is important. The internet is so oversaturated, it is so difficult to get seen without spending bookoo bucks on advertising. A 5 star here and a 5 star there never hurt anybody.Īll jokes aside, all of this Google ranking and social media nonsense is the reality for new businesses.

Want to really knock my socks off? Here are some things that you can do that will take you under 2 minutes (and cost you nothing), but truly mean the world to me. Think about how much I would love you if someone became a client because of you. Word of mouth is still the strongest form of marketing. Who needs real conversation when we have the symbol? (muhahaha now you have to become FB friends with him) Quick, get out your phone and read the ‘About’ on our FB page or the description on our Instagram profile.Įven better, Google my company name and then just hand him the phone with our page up and forego conversation altogether.ĭon’t have your phone on you? It’s ok, you can just tag him later. This may be the perfect awkward thing to bring up to break the even more awkward silence. Perhaps you are stuck sitting next to your bosses’ weird IT guy boyfriend at the Christmas party. It requires some knowledge of what it is that the business actually does. This gesture is definitely the hardest of all of the things I have mentioned. You are there anyway, you might as well help a sistah out and do some good while your eyes are glued to your screen.

When it comes to Instagram stories, I get Insta-juju-points if you comment on a story. If you are ever feeling super motivated, let me know you care by commenting on a post. It is much appreciated when you like my posts. I see you there, watching insta stories like your life depends on it.Īs with Facebook, interaction matters. (All of the above goes for LinkedIn as well) Follow me on the Gram The more ‘points’ I have, the more I will be seen by other people who may be potential customers. I’m going to rank how your interaction helps my Facebook algorithm (numbers are just for demonstration). If you open a link that I post, FB then thinks that you like me and just maybe my posts will show up in your feed again in the future. Just kidding, I don’t expect to actually read the things that I share! I really just want Facebook to think that what I am sharing is interesting so it will give me ‘algorithm points’ (this is real). If you REALLY REALLY want to change my future for the better, you will click on the links that we share and read them. If you REALLY want to show support you will then like the posts that I post on said page. I just timed it and it takes two seconds, maybe three if you have slow fingers. But! I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to click like. That tap of the notification to like the page I suggested to you is super time consuming. Opening a dialogue about the project I am pouring my blood, sweat and tears into shows that you really care. Nothing would make me happier than if you came to me and asked about something you read on my blog. And hell, if you don’t understand it, let me know! Maybe you are not alone and my UX (user experience) is shite.ĭid you know that if you spend time on my site, scroll down the page and click around, that Google sees that and it helps my ranking? True story. I took a lot of time and effort in choosing the wording correctly so that it is easy for users to understand. Take a few minutes out of your instagram scrolling super busy life and look at my site. The equivalent of you sucking down Louise’s kombucha on a Friday night would be for you to simply visit my website. I have no idea what that is, but let’s all go on Friday night and check it out.” “Did you hear? Louise opened up a kombucha brewery. When a friend opens up a brick and mortar business, we happily make the pilgrimage into the new joint to show our support.
