It seems as though we have been inundated with guest posts recently (which is never a bad thing) and we wrote this one for the kind people over at Fuel Brand, Inc. How to Effectively Market Your New Venture is a fairly lengthy article explaining how normal, non-marketing saavy venture owners can effectively dive into marketing and drive results, all without spending a great deal of time and money.

To quote from the article:

“All company owners know they want to market and want to take their product or service to the masses, they just aren’t sure how best to do it. Luckily for them, the basic principles of marketing a new venture are easy and can be effectively done by anyone.”

So, without further adieu, you can find the article here.

In comparison to some websites out there, ours is in its infancy and because of such it is necessary for us to reflect upon our own organic SEO endeavors to see how we are performing. Generally, organic SEO performance reviews include a wide variety of KPIs, but for the sake of this article, we’re simply going to show you some key local organic rankings we’ve achieved. It’s always good to show our readers and potential clients that we aren’t all talk and that we do garner some rather impressive results, so below we’ve compiled some examples of our progress.

Local Organic Rankings

Local Organic Ranking Domination

One of our initial key goals that we not only set for some of our clients, but ourselves, was that we wanted to establish local dominance on a city and state level. Even though our services are international, it’s particularly nice to have a “home base” where you are the known figure for a certain product or service where you can meet you clients face to face. Thus, since we are based in Lexington, KY we initiated a strategy that would yield top results.

Local Keyword Rankings *

Considering the sizable amount of competition for these terms (over 5,000,000 results combined), we are very happy to see these results so quickly and to know that we are establishing ourselves in the community. In addition, because this is highly targeted traffic it often yields conversions, which results in more happy search marketing clients. In the coming weeks we will be putting up some impressive case studies for some of our recent clients that we have helped garner impressive results - some of which came from the very searches listed above!

* Keep in mind that search results are not static and they may fluctuate a bit from computer to computer.
