Google Maps allows users to search for and navigate to locations, including local businesses, using satellite imagery, street maps, and real-time traffic updates. The unexpected consequence of this is that Google knows where customers are at all times while location services are turned on for their mobile devices. Google Maps is particularly important for local businesses and plays a major role in how websites rank on Google search. A fully optimized Google Maps listing is essential and earning positive reviews, which appear underneath your Maps listing, is equally important for both the algorithm and your reputation.

Customers use Google to write reviews and complaints. This feedback appear on a business’s Google Maps listing for everyone to see. Not only will this impact your ranking on local search engine results pages like Google, Bing, etc. (your ranking determines how close to the top of the page your website is placed), but reviews can also influence a customer’s decision to buy your products or services. Businesses like yours can optimize Google Reviews by responding to all customer reviews, encouraging new & return customers to leave positive reviews with each purchase and addressing any negative feedback before it damages your reputation. Stuck with a bad review? We utilize effective collaborative strategies when appealing any inflammatory reviews on your page. We navigate Google customer support for you and handle the appeal process, removing bad reviews before they damage your business.

Businesses can optimize their presence on the web by building a substantial presence on third-party sites in order to saturate search engine results pages.  By choosing a broad array of free and paid websites to advertise on, including 3rd party lead generation platforms like Houzz, Angi, Thumbtack etc., businesses like yours have bee known to push competitor's listings too far down into the search results for anyone to find them; a highly favorable situation for you. In addition to the strategic advantage, having positive reviews on third party sites is important for the informed buyer who does his/her research; reviews suggest integrity, transparency and instill confidence when customers use search engines to shop the products or services they need.

On-page optimization is the process of optimizing the function, aesthetics, informational content and developmental elements of a website's individual pages, including text, images, internal linking, specialized features and HTML code. By optimizing your page’s content, metadata and images with relevant keywords, teaching search engine AI that your brand has authority in it's industry, creating a clear and organized website user interface, optimizing for both mobile and desktop platforms and ensuring that your sites load quickly (just a few elements of SEO), your page stands the greatest chance of driving store traffic and conversions. On-page optimization helps search engines understand the relevance and quality of a page, in turn improving your ranking on search engine results pages like Google, Bing, etc.

Internal linking is a technical and strategic process of linking pages within a website. This technique helps search engines understand the website’s structure and hierarchy, relationships between pages and link equity throughout the website which can improve the ranking of individual pages. We begin optimizing a website's internal linking by creating a clear and organized website structure, using relevant anchor text and linking to high-quality, relevant content.

Backlinks are links from external websites that point to a business’s website. Backlinks are an important factor in determining a website’s authority and ranking on search engines. Our team optimizes websites through backlinks by building high-quality, relevant links from authoritative websites in our client's respective industries. This is also done through guest posting, broken link building, and creating shareable content for a comprehensive approach to SEO.

Paid advertising on Facebook begins as a post to your business page that is "boosted" and circulated on Facebook to the Newsfeed, Marketplace, Videos and more. There are two essential phases to advertising: 1.) Research & Design and 2.) Promotion. Before even considering promotion, ads must be optimized utilizing proven techniques, fonts, formatting, catch phrases, emojis and calls to action that generate maximum impact on your target audience. The creation of Targeted Ads for Facebook involves additional planning and tactics, including but not limited to the following: Strategic photo selection and optional editing, graphics, watermark and/or copyright stamp for each image, advanced keyword integration, refined demographic targeting, custom instant-reply script, live troubleshooting and campaign budget planning.

MarketMaster premium listings for Facebook Marketplace are high-impact; tested, tried and true, with thousands of debuts, millions of leads and BILLIONS of impressions (views). Facebook imposes strict rules on its users in order to maintain Marketplace posting privileges, so make sure to read our Terms of Service to see what is not allowed. Every action you take on your FB account can determine ad success. Violating Facebook's rules can result in account restrictions, including the complete loss of Marketplace, so it's important to always have a second or third stream of leads like Google and Facebook Ads in addition to at least one backup Facebook Marketplace account. Check out the Youtube demo below with detailed insights from our Marketplace campaign!

We offer complete oversight of customer engagement and lead management on your Facebook business page by our trained team of 100% US-based and native English-speaking experts (NEVER outsourced overseas). Leads generated from Targeted Ads need to be managed efficiently, creatively and on a person-by-person basis to assist with individual needs. Our team of experienced virtual sales agents are available to assist your customers 24/7 and are a fraction of the cost of training and paying a dedicated in-house sales agent to manage social media. 

(Note: Auto responding is highly discouraged. When the customer has their wallet open in front of you, a personalized response is essential to address their specific questions, concerns and requests. We know how the customer thinks and optimize our dialogue for conversion to store traffic, so all you have to do is welcome your new customers, show them your inventory and take payments! 

How it works: Our cutting-edge system comes complimentary with a dedicated phone line that we open up using your local area code. This allows prospective customers to call/text us 24/7 in need of the inventory you carry. When we get a lead, we send you their Name, Phone Number and their order request (how many units they will need, what style, their deadline, etc.). 

Note: Getting phone numbers from people online isn't easy due to a high prevalence of hackers and scammers, so these leads are premium. Visit our web shop to check on current prices for leads in your business category. We boast a 50%+ response rate on phone number leads and all you have to do is text or call them to close the deal.

Leads generated on Messenger are 1/2 the price of phone number leads. We post ads and generate chat conversations on Messenger, then send out your address, phone number, hours of operation, etc. and take a screenshot for you as proof of service. You save money with messenger leads over phone numbers because there are fewer steps in generating them, but research shows that phone numbers are higher quality leads, so we suggest choosing a ratio of 2 messenger leads to 1 phone number lead for maximum coverage. 

Because we use company-owned social media assets to post ads and generate leads for clients, our accounts are susceptible to restrictions from flagging caused by conflict in our client's stores. We require that all of our clients and their store affiliates behave appropriately and follow our Terms & Conditions to avoid termination of services. Any verified account restrictions resulting from dissatisfied prospective customers who have been mistreated or misinformed while visiting our client's stores will warrant termination with no refund. We collect regular feedback from prospective customers and monitor for warning signs of poor customer service. Caring for our customers is our top priority and we cannot guarantee client success if customer care is not their top priority as well.

Keywords are the identifying words or phrases that are targeted with paid ads. Google Ads offers several types of keyword targeting, including:

1. Broad match: Ads are shown for searches that include any of the keywords in the ad group, in any order.
2. Phrase match: Ads are shown for searches that include the exact phrase or a close variation of it.
3. Exact match: Ads are shown for searches that include the exact keyword or a close variation of it.
4. Broad match modifier: Ads are shown for searches that include the modified term, in any order.
5. Negative match: Ads are excluded from searches that include the specified keyword.

Choosing the right keywords is essential to the success of a Google Ads campaign. We focus on keywords that are relevant to your business and have a high search volume, but not so much competition that the cost per click (CPC) is too high. As the popularity of keywords is always changing, keeping up with keyword optimization is essential. 

Google Ads offers a range of bidding strategies that advertisers can use to control how much they pay for clicks and conversions. These strategies include:

1. Manual CPC: We set bids for each keyword or ad group manually, giving you full control over spending.
2. Enhanced CPC: This strategy allows Google to automatically adjust bids for clicks that are more likely to result in a conversion.
3. Target CPA: We set a target cost per acquisition, and Google automatically adjusts bids to reach that target.
4. Target ROAS: We set a target return on ad spend (ROAS), and Google automatically adjusts bids to reach that target.
5. Maximize clicks: This strategy aims to get as many clicks as possible within a given budget.
6. Maximize conversions: This strategy aims to get as many conversions as possible within a given budget.
