Digital Marketing

Online Marketing for Small Business

Probity Web Marketing specialises in helping small business get the most out of the internet using a variety of strategies and services. Many small business owners understand that the internet has huge potential for their business (or are continually being told this), but are confused about how to realise this potential. The digital marketing industry can be full of mixed messages and tech speak, which is aimed at confusing the average person. We aim to demystify it all for you by proving clear information on how internet marketing can help your business. We'll take on as much or as little of your marketing and website management as you want to leave you to do what you do best, operate your business.

What is Digital Marketing?

Simply put, Digital Marketing is the marketing of goods and services on the internet. But how exactly do you market goods and services on the internet?

Digital Marketing starts with a Website

To have an effective Digital Marketing strategy that you have control over, you need to start with a website. You own your website and therefore have control over how it looks and works. If you've been told that all you need is a Facebook page or Google Local listing, you have been lead astray. The problem is that you don't have total control over these. If Facebook decides it's going to remove the "call to action" button (or similar) from your page, you really can't do anything about it. Over the years Facebook have made many changes that have affected businesses, such as the removal of doorway pages and limiting the number of feeds your posts are shown in.

So regardless of what you've been told, you need to have a well designed, functional website that you have complete control over.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

Search Engine Optimisation is where you work to get your website found organically when someone searches for one of your products or services (or related searches). The organic listings in search are those listings in the middle of the page (between the Adwords at the top and bottom) of the page. It also includes the map section of the page, however, this can sometimes be referred to as Local Area Marketing.
