Below are top tips that can help your service business to leverage multiple marketing channels to become trusted service providers and win new business.
Position your Business as a Go-To Expert
Everyone likes to do business with trusted experts in any field of service. Thus, it is your known expertise that helps to propel your service business particularly on the internet. People like to consult with others when in search of a good service business. For this reason, if you position your business well enough as an expert in your chosen service, you benefit from these referrals and recommendations.
Market with Different Content Types and Formats
It shows expertise and great knowledge if you are able to market online with different content types and formats. For instance, if you set out your content on Blogs and Articles, they help your rankings in Search Engines. Some direct content consumers may have preferences for reading blogs while some others may prefer short marketing videos or even podcasts. Whichever channel you choose, be sure it vividly introduces your business and its services without any ambiguities. Doing so can greatly help your brand visibility as a useful resource for your clients and potential clients.
Build your Brand on Social Media
For cheap and cost-effective marketing, get your business on social media. Social media provides a fast and veritable avenue for you to build your brand, grow your online presence and engage with your current and potential clients in a cost-effective manner. For best results, just get your business on the most popular social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Instagram. If you post quality content regularly on these platforms, it gets shared quickly and widely thereby helping to build your brand visibility and authority. Through this content on social media, you can tactically share links to your blogs and links to all news coverage about your service business. That helps your business visibility a great deal.
Don’t Ignore Links Building
Backlinks help to confer authority on your business website in the eyes of search engines. When other authoritative sites link back to your website, it is vital for Google ranking. You can get quality backlinks from comments on other articles and publications, deliberately securing links on non-media sites, such as universities, listings or professional bodies relevant to your field of business. If you have any opportunities to showcase your talent as a guest content contributor particularly on sites with high domain authority, that’s great. Such efforts help to secure backlinks for your business and a credible way to support your business profile, support and grow your online presence.
Address Common Concerns with your Blog
Yes indeed! A blog is as effective as the problems/concerns it sets out to resolve for clients and potential clients. If you know your service business well enough, you can always think of the questions that can crop up from time and time from your clients. A good blog can use such concerns/questions as the basis for more content. A series of blogs tackling common queries/concerns will help clients find your business when they are asking those same questions on Google. Ultimately, doing so can go a long way to help your business to rank higher in Google SERPs for its area of expertise.
Showcase your Results
Yeah, every service business is entitled to some bragging rights. If you’ve rendered a perfect service in the past, you can showcase it. This should however be done with some anonymity to protect client confidentiality. Showcasing your past results can help to build trust and confidence in your business. Good recommendations and testimonials are great to help potential clients who may have similar needs see what you’ve done in the past and how well you did it. That alone can make more people to contact your business if they need similar services.
