WHAT DOES THAT ALL MEAN?
@thetylerbarnes
Paid Media (SEM): Finding the right clients quickly• Paid search is the largest allocation of most marketing
budgets. Paid media focuses on utilizing Google Adwords, Bing AdCenter, Facebook Ads Manager, and various Display networks to create awareness of a brand and increase conversions. We utilize paid search, display ads, and retargeting to ensure our campaigns reach our target market in an efficient manner. Our goal is to minimize cost while maximizing conversions. Lowering client CPA (cost per acquisition) is our primary goal for clients. Get the most bang for their buck.

Organic Search (SEO): Sustainable online presence• Organic search, or SEO, ensures a website is targeting the
correct keywords for their market and that users are having a great experience once they have clicked on a like in Google, Bing, or Yahoo (or the many others). We provide keyword research, site optimization, link building strategies, content marketing strategy, conversion optimization, and site development strategies to grow a client’s search ranking and organic traffic. Search engine optimization takes a long time, but the results are sustainable and extremely effective.

Analytics: Know everything about your business• It’s quite shocking how many businesses know nothing about
their target market. Analytics professionals provide in-depth audits, Google Analytics/Omniture optimization, interactive dashboard creation, and custom report creation outlining what a client needs to achieve an optimized web presence.

Any questions? That’s it. Thank you for listening!
Tyler’s One Piece of Advice:Begin teaching yourself early. Start a
WordPress website, run a small Facebook Ads campaign, try the
Google Search Planner, and/or setup a Google Analytics account. A little bit of knowledge goes a long way!
