Twitter.  Know what it is?  Do you really care?  If you are a business owner, you should.  There are several ways Twitter could help your business right now, TODAY.  How?  Read on…

Earlier this morning I read a nice post predicting the 10 ways Twitter will change American business.  It’s a lengthy post but draws some logical conclusions and, if they prove to be true, certainly would change the way business (not to mention government) operates.  Only time will tell, but that is the future and I want to tell you about NOW.

First of all, if you don’t know what Twitter is a quick primer:  Twitter is an online service that allows people to connect with others online and exchange small messages, including links.  If you’re thinking texting, you’re on the right track…except you can “text” (or Tweet) to hundreds or even thousands of people at once.  And they in turn (if they like your tweet) can send your message (called re-tweeting) to all of their contacts.  Oh, and it’s free.

So, how can Twitter help your business?  Especially if your customers are local?  Here are some ideas:

- Hyper-Local Marketing:   With Twitter it’s possible to develop a highly focused following based on interest, or geography, or both.  Let’s say you own a pizza shop.  You want a way to reward (and retain) your customers so they don’t start ordering from the Papa Hut chain place.  You could setup a Twitter account (free), invite customers to “follow” you by adding your Twitter username to inserts, signs, etc. (no more than what you’re paying now), then Tweet exclusive offers, discounts, events, etc.  Let the word-of-mouth advertising begin!

- Measure Your Existing Advertising:  A slight twist on the above, add a Twitter username to your existing ads in phonebooks, newspapers, billboards, etc and measure the response you get.  Heck, set up different accounts for each (it’s free, remember?).

- Get Real-Time Feedback:  Tweets are sent and received in real-time, so you can ask a question and get direct feedback instantaneously.  Ever wondered what your customers really think, or what they really want?  Ask them!

Interested in learning more?  You can follow me on Twitter, or contact me directly – I’d love your feedback.

I got a tweet this morning from someone linking to an article titled, “Five Tips for Avoiding Deceptive SEO Companies“. I like to read articles like this when possible, as it often helps me relate better to potential SEO clients.

While the best advice I could give someone was featured prominently in the article (avoid any SEO company that guarantees a specific ranking for keywords), I was a little disappointed the five tips listed were actually deceptive SEO practices – and not tips someone looking for SEO help could use to sort out whom to hire. From my experience providing SEO for business owners, I’m concern that many wouldn’t be able to identify if these deceptive practices were being used or not.

Therefore, here’s my quick list of the five tips I’d recommend to business looking for SEO services and wanting to avoid “deceptive” SEO firms.

5) References: Most reputable SEO firms can provide references of their past work; “deceptive” companies probably cannot. It’s important to note that SEO is a field where confidentiality agreements are common; therefore you may find case studies without company names, or references to names without specifics on results.

4) How They Get Results: When discussing or interviewing a potential SEO provider ask how they have been able to get results for past clients. Deceptive SEO is often quite complicated and sometimes just sounds “fishy”. A reputable SEO follows a fairly straightforward philosophy that’s pretty easy to understand (in my opinion) and applies it uniquely to each client based on their goals and objectives.

3) What They Don’t (or Won’t) Do: To quote Jimmy Buffet, “The well-seasoned pro knows how far he can go.” Everyone has limits, and there are boundaries we all should respect. I think a key difference between reputable SEO and deceptive SEO is the ability to acknowledge (and explain) the line between so-called “white hat” and “black hat” SEO.

2) Associations / Organizations: Just as in other industries, reputable SEO includes more than just providing a service to make money. There are several active SEO communities online, as well as local Chambers of Commerce and other groups that may be supported by reputable firms. Deceptive firms? My guess is not so much. Check a firm’s website or simply ask what’s important to them in addition to SEO.

1) Cost: The cost of SEO is certainly a topic of much debate, and I am definitely not in a position to settle it in any way. That said, my belief is that reputable SEO (again, similar to reputable companies in other fields) will make very clear their costs and what you as the client / buyer are getting for your dollar. I don’t believe that happens with deceptive SEO – or deceptive anything else, for that matter.
