Here are 5 quick and easy ways to get more people to your web site.

1. Leverage your already existing promotional materials.

Either send out a newsletter once a month to existing clients and contacts or a personal email out to the folks you know letting them know you have a website, what it can do and ask them to share it with their network.

3. Network on Social Media

Speaking of networks, if you are not leveraging social media to promote your business yet, you definitely want to go ahead and do that as soon as you are done reading this.

Promote yourself on Facebook, Pinterest, Google +, LinkedIn, Youtube, Twitter, you name it! Those are just a few sites out there that can help you drive traffic to your website.

4. Update your site often.

You have to give these contacts a reason to visit your site so make sure to update it on a frequent basis and provide valuable information to your target audience.

5. Pay for traffic

Last but not least, if you haven’t thought of it already, you might want to consider advertising on Google.

Google Pay Per Click ads are an affordable way to get exposure to your clients when they are typing in what you sell on Google.

3 Proactive Steps to Protect Your Online Reputation

Posted on by

Let’s talk about how to maintain a positive online reputation when it comes to your business!

The first thing you want to do is register your business domain name – .com, .ca, .info etc.

Make sure you grab your domain name and maintain it; register it through an email address you will have access to for years to come.

Don’t use your service provider email like shaw, but a personal account like gmail or hotmail. This ensures you will always have access to it.

Second – get accounts with all social media properties and claim your URL and business name on those social properties before anyone else can.

You will be happy you did even if you don’t plan on actively using any social media at the beginning of your endeavour, you’ll be happy you did when it comes time to to start engaging in it.

Lastly, grab your profile on the Better Business Bureau, Canada411, Foundlocally as well as any other local directory sites you have access to.

Just upload your logo and claim your property. You don’t have to do anything else with it!

When someone searches your business name online you want the first ten or twelve properties that show up on google search results to be properties that you have direct access to and can control and maintain at your discretion.

These 3 steps are really great proactive ways to create and maintain your positive reputation online.
