5 Reasons Why You Need to Start Utilizing Paid Social Ads
Organic social is often viewed as the best kind of social advertising. It makes sense, considering organic social is more valued for being “free” compared to paid social. Because of this, many businesses see a choice to only have one of either paid or organic social. However, social campaigns aren’t a matter of choosing one or the other, both forms are integral parts to the campaign’s success. If you aren’t sure about taking the plunge into paid social campaigns, consider these benefits offered by paid social.
Boost search engine optimization (SEO)
One important facet of running a website is making sure to optimize your search engine results, and the best way to do that is to make regular updates to your website. Take Google as an example. When a term is searched for on Google, the search algorithm works in the background to try and find the most relevant results. One of the criteria used in judging if a website is relevant is the recency of updates. If a website has added content or been updated recently, Google will notice that and view the website as more relevant, making it more likely to appear in search results.
As a result of this, the best practice is to keep your website updated frequently, at least once every week or two. These updates would be smaller in size than a full website redesign. An example would be a short blog post. Uploading a blog post each week or two would help Google view your website as “fresh”, making it more likely to show up in the search results.
Keep your website visually appealing and engaging
A total remodel of a website can be a great boost in business, but it also can be a difficult undertaking. That’s why website remodels should only be done about every 2-4 years. Remodeling too soon after a current remodel can be confusing to your customers, and the benefits of a remodel won’t be as apparent if enough time hasn’t passed. Taking too long to remodel can cause your website to become outdated, lacking features newer websites have or simply falling out of style.
Improve website functionality
Another reason to update your website is to ensure the customer only sees correct information. These updates should happen as soon as the current information on the website is no longer correct. If you no longer offer a product or service, be sure to remove it from your website as soon as possible. The same goes for when you offer new products or services, you can’t sell them if the customer doesn’t know they exist.
Take advantage of new technology
Since technology is constantly evolving, a website designed a few years ago may be missing features common on websites today. Additionally, your website may not be compatible with newer devices and web browsers. By updating your website to incorporate new technology and accommodate the latest devices, you improve the user experience, preventing your potential customers from getting frustrated and taking their business elsewhere.
