Summary
How significant are search engines in brand marketing? With 73% of adults using the internet?"and this number growing?"87% rely on search engines as their main tool for finding websites. Ignoring search engines in your brand strategy is a big mistake.
The Impact of Search Engines on Your Brand
In April 2006, ClickZ found that 15% of brand-related searches led to clicks on sites unrelated to the actual brand, resulting in a loss of potential visitors. Imagine increasing your website traffic by 15%?"wouldn't that be beneficial?
A survey by The Dieringer Research Group revealed that 45% of adults changed their brand opinions due to online advertising and product information. This shows that search engines significantly affect brand perception. As websites proliferate, it's common for non-branded sites, sometimes with negative content, to rank high in brand searches. Detractors often include dissatisfied customers or negative news, so monitoring and managing your brand's online presence is crucial.
Enhancing Your Brand's Online Presence
Organic Search Listings
Use your website as a marketing and PR tool. Search your company's name on Google; ideally, it should rank first. If not, your site needs search engine optimization (SEO). Determine essential keywords for your brand and assess their search rankings. Unsatisfactory results indicate a need for an SEO strategy.
Paid Sponsored Listings
Consider your presence in sponsored listings. Even if you rank high organically, investing in paid ads is valuable. Recent studies show that having both types of listings can triple your click-through rates. Different users interact with organic and paid results variously. Eye-tracking studies indicate a mix of preferences, and having visibility in both areas covers more potential customers.
Competing brands may appear in paid searches for your keywords, diverting traffic away from your site. Policies on trademark issues vary, so ensuring your presence is essential. Dual visibility boosts your message’s credibility and brand recognition. A study by the Interactive Advertising Bureau and Nielsen/NetRatings revealed that top-positioned sponsored ads enhanced brand recognition by 14% across six industries.
Press Releases
Optimize every press release for search engines by refining titles, keywords, meta descriptions, and content. Submit to news sites like Google News and Yahoo News to expand reach. This increases the likelihood of search engine pick-up.
Blogging
Corporate blogs are effective for managing brand narratives. Blogs are increasingly indexed highly, offering another platform to articulate and control your brand message.
Articles and News
Generating informative content related to your industry enhances search engine visibility. Understand what your audience searches for, especially if they seek informative content before making a purchase. Providing valuable articles can increase your brand's exposure online.
Conclusion
If you're not actively shaping your brand's message on search engines, others will. Taking control of your brand's online narrative is crucial to maintaining a positive and effective digital presence.
