“Yelp is the fun and easy way to find, review and talk about what’s great — and not so great — in your world.”

Yelp currently has 63 million unique visitors!  There has been a 54% increase in traffic this past year…and it is continually growing at a rapid pace.  Yelp users have added more than 1 million new reviews in the past 30 days.  If you think it can’t benefit you, think again!

There are many benefits to having your business on this website such as:

• People can find basic information including the hours of your business, your contact information and your website using the site.

• People can search for your type of business in your area that they might not easily find on other local search sites (such as Google Places).

• People can read the opinions of other people who have gone to your place of business or used your services which can give others an impression of what it would be like to use your services and whether or not they would like the place.

• People can initiate discussions through the “talk” section of Yelp which lets them ask for specific or more detailed information about the business or about the topic in general.

• People can add their own opinions to improve the site and to support the local businesses that they really like – which can be you!

Are there any cons to being on Yelp?

When it comes to the Internet, it’s free game…meaning that people can pretty much write whatever they wish for the world to see.  The important thing to know is though – even if you as the business owner don’t add YOURSELF to Yelp…ANYONE can add your business.  So in sum…even if you are worried about receiving a bad review, and this may be preventing you from adding your business…in reality – anyone can add your business to Yelp with your permission or not. So, in my opinion, I think the saying “If you can’t beat them, join them” applies to this.   May as well make the best of a website and become a participant (encourage customers to review you) and hopefully gain more customers because of it!  Look at it as the glass half full vs. half empty.

Think of it this way – if you are a dentist and someone goes to Yelp to look for a dentist – and you are not listed, you are potentially losing a client.

Also, if someone goes to Yelp and there are 5 dentists to choose from and one has 5 great ratings…and the rest have no ratings, the one who is going to stand out from the rest is the one with the great reviews.  They will have the upper hand in most cases of getting that new potential client.

So, my vote is YES to Yelp! Add yourself and encourage your customers to post reviews!

Lastly, an incoming link to your website from a highly authoritative website such as Yelp can help with SEO efforts! If you have a website and do not have search engine optimization, you are not getting found online – bottom line. Contact our Vancouver SEO company – Web Warrior Marketing – and we’ll email you a proposal as to how we can get you online visibility in the search engines like Google. Check us out now! We can help companies anywhere in Canada and the United States.

She has recently shared a couple of her good news stories on our Web Warrior Marketing Facebook page.

I got a “cold call” for someone looking to do a Stampede Breakfast for 1,500 people. I saw him on Monday, and of course he told me he found me “online”. I am hoping to close the deal tomorrow – or at least get a sales decision. Web Warrior Marketing has got my phone ringing, that’s for sure! (March 24, 2011)

I saw 2 new prospects just TODAY who found me through online search!!! 1 has sold already, the next will sell by Tuesday. THANKS TRINA!!! (February 11, 2011)

“Google has started to make it clear to the users that PageRank is only one out of 200 signals and that the Webmasters should not think of it as the one and only important parameter. Moreover they have removed the PageRank tab from the Google Webmaster Tools console and they have reduced the number of PageRank Toolbar updates that took place 3 or 4 times per year.”

Has your business joined the masses in setting up a Facebook and/or Twitter page as a way of communicating with your current clients…as well as a way of attracting potential clients?

Here are 3 Social Media Marketing Tips from Web Warrior Marketing!

1. Make a “Personal” Connection: You want to come across as a person…hence why it is called “social” networking. If you take an impersonal approach, you risk sounding too corporate and stiff. Consider celebrities – people love to follow celebrities because in most cases, they are tweeting directly to their fans. This is also why in most cases when an assistant of a celebrity is tweeting instead of the celebrity, people can tell…and this essentially loses the whole effect and interest of following the celeb in the first place.

2. Listen to Your Followers: Don’t take this great opportunity to truly LISTEN to your followers for granted. This is your chance to build and strengthen customer loyalty. Answer their questions, acknowledge their comments (GOOD or BAD), ask them for feedback, engage them. If they are already following you, they are your fans…this is your chance to wow them and make them feel you appreciate their business & opinions.

3. Practice Makes Perfect: These things take time. Time to get used to establishing your company “voice”…time to gain followers…time to gain momentum. You are already a step ahead just being involved. Stay committed, persevere, and reap the benefits.

And a bonus for your efforts in social networking? It was recently announced that social media is used as a ranking factor by search engines Google & Bing. That is a good motivator in itself to get started if you haven’t already…and stick to it! What are you waiting for?

In addition to social networking, if you have a website, you definitely need SEO services (search engine optimization) to get found online via keyword phrases relevant to your type of business & location. Contact Web Warrior Marketing now for a FREE consultation as to how we can drive more traffic to your website.

Have a blog? That’s great! Keep it updated? Even better! How do you feel about your writing? Are you attracting readers and keeping them coming back for more?

Here are some tips from Web Warrior Marketing to consider when posting your next entry:

1. Trim the Fat – are you rambling on too much? Possibly repeating yourself…or just saying extra stuff so it looks like you have more to say? Less is more. Keep it on topic and focused on key points you want to address. People have busy schedules – if they want to read a novel, they’ll buy one at the bookstore.

2. Paint a Picture with Your Words – to really connect with your readers, use descriptive sentences, so that as they are reading, they can envision what you are saying. Better yet – add a photo or image to your blog…because as the saying goes “A picture is worth 1000 words”.

3. Stand Out – the most successful bloggers are unique. People want to know what they have to say because they offer something different. They may be humorous, off-the-wall (where appropriate), unpredictable, and/or extremely insightful. Keeping up with current events and industry-related news is a must!

Blogs are a great advantage if you have a website, because they are a source of ongoing fresh content for your website, which the search engines love when it comes to ranking your website. Contact Web Warrior Marketing if you are interested in SEO services (search engine optimization) to drive more traffic to your website!

There are tons of blogs online these days. It would probably take you less than a minute to find a blog on any imaginable topic if you were to search online. This is the power of the Internet – a limitless source of information.

Congratulations if you have decided to start a blog – it is a great way to give your company credibility…not to mention connect with your clients and potential clients on a more personal level…which can differentiate yourself from your competitors. The question is though – are you keeping up with it?

Many people get on a bandwagon to start something…but then let it fall by the wayside if they don’t get immediate results or reactions. They say patience is a virtue and this holds true for blogging. In order to build up a following, you have to maintain it and stay committed to it. You have to give people a reason to stay interested. Would you be interested in a blog that has an entry or two but hasn’t been touched in 5 months? Not likely.

In a perfect world, you would be able to post a couple of entries per week. Depending on your industry though – this is easier for some companies than others. Maybe you can only come up with one posting per week…or one bi-weekly. The thing is though to try to be consistent.

A great idea is to book a day off in your calender each week (or twice a week). If you have time allotted strictly for blogging, you are more likely to stick with it. Otherwise, it can turn into something that may cross your mind here and there, but then get lost amongst other priorities.

Take time to brainstorm topics – and jot down topics when they come to mind.

Add personality to your writing – afterall there is a human behind the writing – it doesn’t have to sound like one of your boring college textbooks. Don’t be scared to be witty and add humor. People will respond positively!

Blogging is also great for SEO (search engine optimization) of your website because it is a way to add fresh content on a regular basis…which the search engines love. Don’t have SEO for your website?

It is not common for small business owners to have huge marketing budgets at their disposal. We all know how much it costs to advertise, whether that be in the newspaper, in a magazine, in the Yellow Pages, or even on TV.

Plus, there is never a guarantee that spending a few hundred or a few thousand dollars on an ad will bring you any business. Some people can be left banging their head against the wall, frustrated with the lack of return on investment.

The world revolves around the Internet now. Over 70% of people with online access search for products and services online – it is quite rare to see someone browsing through the big clunky phone book these days…especially when using the Internet can take less than a minute to find what you’re looking for.

In my opinion, having a website should be a top priority – there shouldn’t even be a question as to whether or not you should have one. So, when people have a website, but say they don’t have a budget for SEO…I don’t think they are realizing the difference between spending on SEO vs. an ad for example.

Your website is working for you 24/7…365 days a year…if people can FIND you via keyword phrases related to your business, you can only GAIN from SEO services (if they are done effectively). Depending on the cost of your products or services…and the cost of SEO, you should be able to see a return on investment very quickly. Think of all of the potential customers you could be missing out on if your website is not marketed. Do you really want to just give all of that business to your competition?

At Web Warrior Marketing, we offer affordable SEO packages with the small business owner in mind. Check out our website optimization services and request a FREE website consultation on our website. You have nothing to lose. Let us help you grow your business!

2. Make your marketing stand out and fun! Be creative. No one wants to receive the exact same marketing piece every month or they will start to ignore it. Gain interest by switching it up.

3. Team up with another business – send out a brochure and include a leaflet for another company. Get them to do the same. You will reach a whole new pool of potential customers…and this will also help your budgets.

4. Collect email addresses of your customers and email them an offer immediately after they have purchased from you…give them a reason to return and also keep your company top of mind. Most companies do not do this, so if you do…you will stand out. Make it a “limited-time” offer so they have to act fast.

5. Print your Twitter & Facebook info on your receipts – tell people to join your pages – give people who follow you “special offers” and be able to announce promotions to them. Grow your fan base and stay connected!
