Social Media Focus: Expanding Your Business Social Media Model

seoforceo.com helps to increase your ROI & social media exposure!

Increasing your website social media exposure is not just getting on Facebook and Twitter.  It’s ensuring you’re maximizing your exposure in a positive way while not over-extending yourself from a managerial standpoint in the social media realm of possibilities.  This is about taking your existing advertising budget and substantially increasing your ROI without significant increases to media spend.  Diligence and consistency will pay out in-house over throwing thousands at a media firm with almost no vested interest in what you do. Capiche?

You’ve got Facebook and Twitter covered, but what else can you do to ensure you’re getting the most bang for your social media buck?  More importantly, what processes are in place to drive qualified (note I say qualified traffic, not just traffic) to your website which will increase your conversion rates and put money in your coffers?

LinkedIn is a great resource for engaging business to business clients.  Creating a group and sharing your thoughts (and joining groups in kind) with peers will spread the word about your business and the services you offer.  Social bookmarking websites like Digg and Delicious provide a vast source of information about your business plus providing good search engine optimization fodder. Just remember that the title of your post is crucial: if the title isn’t interesting, the reader will skip it without ‘digging’ your article.

Blogging, or having your own blog about your specific business vertical will not only drive more qualified traffic to your website but provides a source of information that users of your product or services will find valuable.  Share your thoughts on up and coming events, new product releases, specials, new ways to use etc. concerning what it is you do and allow for feedback from users.  This will help push your website up in the rankings while putting a face to your brand.  Nothing makes customers feel warm and fuzzy more than to think you are personally addressing their needs and requirements.  If done correctly and consistently a successful blog will create an infinite number of links to your website, and therefore a limitless pool of new customers already interested in what you offer.

Have a video about your company or product/service? Have you posted it on YouTube yet? If not, then hop to it!  Nothing sells like a 30 second spot on YouTube that allows potential customers to see what it is you provide.  Links from your blogs, website, articles, etc to your videos will result in additional clients without having to lift a finger.

These are just a few ideas to broaden your social media spectrum, increase the number of qualified customers without significantly impacting your media spend.  Again I remind everyone that diligence and consistency are key, and that your ROI will be measured both in customer acquisition, retention and service.
