Digital Marketing Strategy
Everything starts with a strategy. When beginning your digital marketing strategy it is important to know who your audience by behavior not demographics.

Small Business Websites
Your website is the most important tool to market any business. The website your business launches is most likely the only piece of real estate on the Internet you have complete control over. Yes, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter and other digital marketing platforms are important, but if you solely rely on the platforms you are building your brand on rented land. What do we mean by rented land? Think for a moment, what happens to your brand and all your efforts should Facebook or Instagram cease to exist. Where does that leave you?
Your company website should demonstrate the points uncovered in your digital marketing strategy. What makes you the obvious choice, what problems do you solve for your audience and who you are. A website should be a natural extension of your brand on the web. When your site is a natural extension of your brand you are setting your audience up for an authentic congruent experience.

Content Development
The above two items are paramount before embarking on the third step of Content Development or Content Marketing as it is also widely called. At first you will want to brag about your services and how great you are, but realize that does not separate you from competition — it adds more noise.
Once you understand your audience, you will see what is important to them, what problems they experience and how your business plays its part. Your business should strive to enhance lives. Your content should always be structured around solving problems — solving problems is the new selling. Freely give away your knowledge without expectation of reciprocation. Publish your content wherever you determine your online audience frequents, but make sure all content brings visitors back to your website.
At first this will seem counterintuitive, but trust that you are on the right road to position your business as game changing to your audience.
