It’s been a while since my last post, primarily because I have been intensively studying the most effective tools and strategies to help my clients create WordPress blogs that can help them generate more business. I have been focusing on helping local businesses create a marketing hub using the WordPress blog as the centerpiece or hub.
Many businesses, whether a traditional store front or a home-based owner, are looking for ways to expand their marketing at low cost. Enter the WordPress blog. I focus on the free and inexpensive methods of attracting more customers, and that’s exactly what the WordPress blog can do for you. The WordPress software is free, the plugins and the themes are free. Your only cost is a domain name and hosting. Yes, you should host it yourself. I recommend Hostgator.
My latest client has a successful story. After some coaching on selecting an effective domain name for your local print business, she came up with “Quality Sarasota Printer.” All these words in the domain are important keywords, and it looked liked there were enough people searching for this keyword phrase without being too competitive. I tell my clients that if they come up with a keyword-rich domain that goes after their target market, they may hit the first page of Google fast–sometimes in a matter of a week or two.
Well, as it turned out, the owner of this domain was very happy. Within one day, her WordPress blog was #1 in Google–without even any content! Since then, she has added content and after a couple weeks, she now is dominating the first page for this keyword phrase (see the image below). Now, all she has to do is continue to add content targeting other keywords and get more free traffic.
So if you want to dominate your local market or niche with an affordable option, please get in touch and we’ll get you on the road to generating more business leads with a WordPress marketing hub.
All the best,
Joe, The Blog Guy
