There’s a lot that happens in the customer’s journey before making a purchase. Many consumers do research on the company and the products before handing over their money. Reviews are a big part of any business because many customers read reviews before making any decisions about purchases or restaurants to visit, etc. Whether you have a product or a service that you’re marketing to the public, it’s important to get your previous and current customers to leave reviews about their experience. There are many ways to encourage customers to write reviews, and often, different methods work for different types of businesses.

There is no doubt that 2020 has been an interesting year so far, to say the least, specifically due to COVID-19 and its impact on the economy as a whole. Many brick and mortar stores are going out of business due to lack of customers shopping in person but this is quite the opposite for eCommerce stores which are soaring due to the pandemic making most people, especially those most vulnerable, not want to leave their house to shop in person. Truthfully, COVID-19 has caused eCommerce stores to make more sales and profit than ever before. In fact, US & Canadian eCommerce stores have experienced a 146% growth in all online retail orders which is quite a leap.

Structured data is coded in the JavaScript or HTML of your page in order to send Google information describing your page. This is a way to tell Google explicitly what it needs to know so it doesn’t have to gather clues from a jumble of code. It also classifies your page content into categories like the following: Article, Product, Recipe, Review, Event, Local Business, Job Posting, or even simply Web Page. All of these things will help your page rank better in searches.

Chances are that you’ve heard of Google My Business or maybe you’ve already started verifying your business locations on Google and don’t know what to do next or why it’s important for your business. Having a local listing helps people in the community find you, but can also provide more information about your business that may not be on the website. Take the time to set up your local listing and make sure you’ve filled out all the information that you can. Once it's complete, continue to encourage customers to leave reviews and always keep the listed information up to date.

Therefore, exhaustive keyword research and planning done initially for doctors, dentists, hospitals, and specialized practices can either make or break your inbound lead generation and patient acquisition numbers year over year.

We’re living through an important part of history, and as an online business, there’s no better opportunity than to buckle down and lean heavily into more digital marketing strategies. With people at home and more time to spare, you should be focusing on reaching them and building a relationship. Businesses that are able to use the circumstances to their advantage will be the ones thriving once this is all over.
