Here are some points to execute to achieve short term results with inbound marketing:

Google Ads

  1. Target Local Keywords: Use location-based keywords in your ad campaigns to attract local customers. For example, instead of “best bakery,” use “best bakery in [your city].”
  2. Geotargeting: Set up geotargeting to show your ads only to users in specific locations. This ensures that your ads reach people who are likely to visit your business.
  3. Ad Extensions: Utilize ad extensions like location extensions, call extensions, and site link extensions to provide more information and increase your ad’s visibility.
  4. Promotion Extensions: Highlight any special offers or discounts to attract more customers quickly.
  5. Optimize Ad Copy: Write compelling and clear ad copy that includes a strong call to action, such as “Visit us today” or “Call now.”
  6. A/B Testing: Conduct A/B tests on your ad copies, headlines, and keywords to identify what works best and optimize accordingly.
  7. Budget Allocation: Allocate a sufficient budget to your campaigns to ensure your ads get enough visibility and clicks.
  8. Remarketing: Use remarketing to target users who have previously visited your website, keeping your business top-of-mind.

Local SEO

  1. Google My Business (GMB) Optimisation:
    • Complete Your Profile: Ensure your Google Business profile is fully completed with accurate business information, including address, phone number, business hours, and website.
    • Photos and Videos: Upload high-quality photos and videos of your business, products, and services.
    • Reviews: Encourage satisfied customers to leave positive reviews and respond promptly to reviews, both positive and negative.
  2. Local Citations: Ensure your business information is consistent across all online directories and citation sites like Yelp, Yellow Pages, and local business directories.
  3. On-Page SEO:
    • Local Keywords: Include local keywords in your website content, meta titles, meta descriptions, and headers.
    • NAP Information: Display your business Name, Address, and Phone number (NAP) on all pages of your website, preferably in the footer.
    • Local Content: Create blog posts or pages about local events, news, or activities relevant to your business.
  4. Backlinks: Acquire backlinks from local websites, such as local news sites, bloggers, and business associations.
  5. Schema Markup: Implement local business schema markup on your website to help search engines understand your business information better.

By combining targeted Google Ads campaigns with robust local SEO efforts, you can achieve quicker visibility and attract more local customers to your business.
