Is there any difference when using a website marketing enthusiast in Washington D.C compared to working with this at the house? Should you hire specialists from a website marketing enthusiast in Washington D.C or is it better to use someone in the organization to take care of website marketing at the house?
The questions above needs to be addressed in a serious way. Here, I will try to discuss some of the things you should be aware of before deciding whether a website marketing enthusiast can be useful or whether it is better using internal staff in the organization at the local branch office in Washington D.C.
Use of your own staff in Washington D.C to manage projects outsourced to the website marketing enthusiast
Often, people in the Washington D.C-office can have broader knowledge of what is going on locally than what one would expect from a website marketing enthusiast far away or what the people at the headquarters of your organization know about. However, this does not necessarily mean that it is good use of resources to engage internal human resources locally in relation to the website marketing enthusiast. Below I will highlight some of the things that need to be given some thoughts.
The project you think of setting out to a website marketing enthusiast can be time consuming and difficult to learn, but it can be well worth the time and resources
Putting the work out to a website marketing enthusiast can certainly pay off, but it is still important that there are available resources that can handle this in a proper way on the part of the organization.
If you already have limited resources, it is unlikely that this type of task will receive sufficient focus and attention from company staff without adequate resources dedicated to handling the website marketing. The website marketing enthusiast knows that these things require a lot of attention and dedication and are knowledge-intensive, so they have put the resources needed to handle the project in a professional way.
But, it has always been clear to me that it is you who know your service and your market best, so if you have the resources needed, it is definitely the best thing to do it yourself. This is something that must be carefully considered before making a decision on how to proceed with website marketing.
Good website marketing tools
There are some things you need to be aware of when using a website marketing enthusiast – whether this is handled by local staff in Washington D.C, or centrally at the corporate headquarter. Below is a handy checklist of things you need to think about, as well as the best tools you can use for either free or commercial tools where free alternatives are not available or significantly inferior to the commercial ones.
Google Alerts
To be on top of things, it is important to know what happens as early as possible. Google Alerts sends you an email every time someone mentions the words and phrases you specify. This can be anything from trademarks that are important to you, people of interest or general words and phrases that are important to your business. You can have alerts for all employees, freelancers you use, your trademarks including websites you run and words and phrases you focus on. All of this gives you a good overview of what is being talked about that matters internally. Google’s notification is free to use and helps you to be early in terms of being on top of what your competitors in Washington D.C are doing, potential public relations disasters in the form of negative reviews and much else useful.
Ranks.nl
Ranks.nl has a bunch of professional SEO tools that I can really recommend. One of the tools I use most is Page Analyzer. With this tool, you can check keyword density on each subpage of your domain to optimize for keywords or phrases. If the website marketing enthusiast you are planning to use is at all professional, they probably use the tools available from ranks.nl – or similar tools extensively.
Majestic.com
Majestic SEO is the world’s largest link index. Use this tool to find out everything you need to know about links to your own pages and what your competitors locally in Washington D.C are doing, or what national and international competitors are up to. Links to your website and subpages are crucial to your search engine rankings, so this is important to keep tabs on.
