Why should you consider using AI-generated images? The possibilities are endless, but so is the potential for abuses. You don’t want to use an AI-image while simultaneously claiming it’s a pro photographer’s work.

How to Drive a Web Designer Crazy

2023-06-21T21:35:47-07:00

It’s possible you’ve never looked at your website traffic reports. (How many visit? How long do they stay? Which pages do they visit?) But I do configure Google Analytics for every site I build. Even if you don’t review the analytics, I do.

Is My Digital Marketing Working?

The answer depends upon whether or not you have some goals and expectations for what digital marketing should bring to your business’ growth.

I am surprised when I ask this of clients and many say, “I had no idea what to expect.” Really? Why on earth would you spend money on any marketing without some expectation? But in recent survey, fully 46% of small business owners said they didn’t know if their […]

Measuring Website Success

2016-12-11T16:09:17-08:00

Several months after I launch new websites, I check on their results in my page rank software as it takes upwards of 60 days for Google’s spider bots to “crawl” the site and rank its search success. When I see that most of the keyword terms we optimized the site for generate a #1 or #2 ranking in Google results (as I did for the client above), it’s like getting a nice pat […]

Waiting for Facebook* Results?

2016-12-11T16:09:17-08:00

As a child, do you remember bugging your mom, “When’s supper gonna be ready?” Or, “Are we there yet?” Or waiting for the train to arrive (with your dad in it coming home from work)?

It seemed to take for-e-ver to arrive, didn’t it?

That’s what everyone wants to know about social media marketing: When will the customers come banging on my door in droves?

First, remember how your mom said, “A watched kettle never boils”? Or, “If […]

What Does It Take for Successful Facebook Marketing?

2016-12-11T16:09:17-08:00

A recent report on Marketing Profs provided interesting statistics to see how businesses stacked up against one another on this topic. A key finding by research  firm TrackMaven in the report, was the overall decline in consumer engagement. That wasn’t particularly surprising. But what got my attention was the sheer volume (or lack thereof) of work involved. And I’ve been pondering the results ever since to see how it compares with my own clients’ results. […]

Facebook Wants You to Talk to Your Fans and Customers!

2016-12-11T16:09:18-08:00

Facebook recently introduced yet another upgrade to their services in an effort to further entice business page owners to improve their interactions with fans and customers. This is but one in a string of changes (seemingly for the good!) that has been rolled out since summer. Many are introduced without fanfare, leaving users to speculate their purpose and benefits.

This latest change came in mighty handy for me recently as I went to reply to a […]

How to Choose a Web Designer

2016-12-11T16:09:18-08:00

Choosing a web designer or agency can be challenging. One designer may say she can build your perfect site for $500 and another for $5000.

How do you know what you’ll get for the difference? How do you know if you need the additional bells and whistles? Furthermore, how do you know you’ll be getting what you truly want and need?

Getting apples-to-apples comparative bids can be tricky. But if you can review the answers to most […]
