SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
1. Know the keywords you are paying for. Go to a Google Incognito window and type them in. Make sure you are ranking where they have promised – either ads, maps, or organic listings. These three are all different.
2. The keywords should not be super long phrases.
SEM (Search Engine Marketing – Paid Search Engine Ads)
1. Keep track of your cost per click
2. Ask to see your keywords and negative keywords. Negative keywords are things that will optimize your ROI and keep the ads micro targeted. They should have performed lots of research at this point, so they should be able to explain why they chose both the keywords/negative keywords and also should be adjusting these daily.
Websites & Domains
1. Make sure you OWN the site. You should have admin access to the backend, domain in your name, and pay with your credit card. You should also have the site backed up on a secondary cloud like Google Drive or Dropbox in case the relationship becomes bad.
2. Don't pay for fake traffic. Use analytics to see where your traffic is coming from – that's how you optimize your campaigns.
Facebook & Other Social Media Platforms
1. Just posting articles is not going to move the needle. Posts should have a strategic value; otherwise, they are just a waste. All you are getting is activity.
2. To entice the algorithm to work with you, 20 posts a month would be an ideal minimum.
3. You also want to have a little ad spend on the social platforms in order to get any traction. They are all "pay to play" platforms now.
Do Not Fall victim to toxic
marketing scams
We created this page because we have had many clients come to us in “ransom” situations, and we have had to rescue them to quickly rebuild what they had so it didn’t affect their business. However, in some extreme cases, we couldn’t remedy the situation. They lost all of their data. So it’s very important to OWN your site and domain and have admin access to the backend.
We hope this clarifies how some marketing companies take advantage of business owners. Feel free to contact us anytime, and we will do a complimentary and confidential audit. Whether it’s giving you suggestions for your marketing plan with your current company or strategizing a marketing plan that can accelerate your growth, we are here to help with no obligations or guilt trips. We truly want to help end the scams and see everyone succeed.
