The importance of digital marketing – in what is now the second quarter of the 21st century if you can believe that – has never been more clear. You don’t just need to be using digital marketing tactics, you need to be wringing every drop possible from them, and that means optimising the services you are utilising. In a game where one percentage point can make all the difference, knowing that you are making the most of your digital marketing campaigns is a non-negotiable.

It’s for this reason that it is considered beneficial to be working with an expert digital marketing agency for whom getting that extra juice is second nature. A keen amateur can do a pretty decent job of using digital services, but if you want to be at the head of the field you need more than pretty decent. Hitting your business goals is too important to be left up to chance, so calling in the experts is the smartest move.

Top Digital Marketing Services

A good business needs to be like the most thorough violinist on the planet – having as many strings to its bow as possible. There’s some debate over whether you need to do everything on the digital marketing menu in order to really make an impact on the market. What we would say is that the more things you can do, and do well, the greater the impact of your digital marketing efforts. Don’t leave anything on the table if you could use it to push your business further. The following elements are particularly important if you want the optimum impact:

• SEO: The base on which all else is built, a solid SEO package will give you the chance to attract the vital traffic that can then be directed to your preferred destination.
• PPC: It’s one thing to know that PPC can help your business. It’s another to know how and where to implement it – and digital marketing agency will unlock this potential.
• Content Marketing: A lot of the rest of digital marketing is about quantity and putting things in the right place. Good content marketing demands good content – and that’s not easy to find, which is where an agency can often help.
• Social Media Management: We’ve all seen the effects of businesses knowing they need a social media presence but not knowing anything more than that. A business Twitter account with ten followers and the last tweet posted in 2021 is, unsurprisingly, not enough.

Smart digital marketing can take all of the above and turn it into a package which turbo-boosts your leads, conversions and profile as a business. In the right hands, it’s transformative. In the wrong ones, it’s like giving a Bugatti Veyron to someone without a driving licence.

Enhance Your Brand With Digital Services

The key to successful branding is repetition. More accurately, it is increasing the visibility of your brand across as many platforms as possible to ensure more people are seeing it and investigating what it’s about. Solid branding takes advantage of the fact that there are more avenues than ever to get a name and a brand out there. A skilled agency making use of the services digital marketing offers can get your name into the eyelines, and the minds, of the people you want to become your customers.

Perhaps just as importantly as visibility, consistency is vital to how your business tells its story. Everything from the use of colour to the voice used in your digital marketing can make a difference. As annoying as you may sometimes find the characters used in marketing campaigns, everybody knows where they can go if they want to compare financial products (for example). You may use the colours, font, and images around your brand differently on social media than you do on your own website – but an agency will know how to keep that brand consistent across all channels.

Why Choose a Digital Agency?

You can see by now just how the services in digital marketing work, by covering as many angles as possible and by delivering a tailored message. So where does a digital agency fall into this story? Perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s to do with the fact that this is what they do all the time. Imagine you’re running your own business with an abundance of skill and talent. To stay brilliant, it’s important that you focus on what you do well. Whether that’s always searching for the best products for your cleaning company, or investing in the best tech for your property surveying business, there’s always going to be something that demands your attention.

If we add SEO, PPC, content marketing and social media coverage to the already hefty to-do list you’ve got there, two things are certain: you’re going to “do” digital marketing like a busy business manager, and your expertise in your chosen area will be diluted. Digital agencies eat, sleep and breathe digital marketing (they drink coffee or water, mostly, but also some digital marketing). They ensure that a business benefits from the things they bring to the party:

• Experience: You have a need, as a business with an online presence. A digital agency will have worked with other businesses with the same need, and know how to meet it.
• Resources: From the people performing the digital magic that propels your business up the search rankings, to the software packages that can deliver branding tricks, digital agencies know what is needed, and already have it.
• Communication: Even the best digital marketing campaigns may need to stop and reassess things, and a good digital agency will know when to be honest, confer with you and make the right changes with your assent.

Essential Services for Digital Success

Any digital agency worth its salt will be skilled across the board when it comes to developing strategies to lift their clients’ performance, and able to analyse and implement information both effectively and at speed. There’s more to doing that than a few paragraphs can adequately encompass, but some of the most important are:

• Website Optimisation: A digital agency will employ professionals who can take a look at a site and recognise what its strengths and weaknesses are, and how to build on the former while remedying the latter.
• Analytics: Real-time analytics are now so fundamental to digital marketing performance that there is little point even embarking on a campaign without having skilled agents able to respond to data decisively and intelligently.
• Marketing: “Yes, obviously”, you may be saying. But as well as marketing their own clients, a digital agency needs to market itself, proving its value to potential clients. In achieving this, it needs to be able to get past people’s natural aversion to being marketed to.

If a digital agency can master these three categories, then it’s well on its way to being indispensable to a bulging book of clients.

Maximise Your Online Presence

Your online presence is the shop window to your audience, the thing that brings them in and helps to start building trust and driving conversions. To maximise your visibility, it’s essential to have effective strategies in place that make you stand out.

Leveraging Social Proof

Showcasing client testimonials, reviews and real case studies on your website and social media platforms can make a real difference to how you are viewed. Just by adding a “What Our Clients Have Said” section on your homepage, you can increase inquiries.

Mobile Optimisation

People have been turning to their mobiles over their laptops increasingly over the last decade, and the tipping point for majority of global traffic has been reached. There’s no excuse now for not having your site optimised for mobile users, who will be most of your visitors. Use tools like a Mobile-Friendly test to ensure you’re on point. 

Utilise Local SEO

Business, especially online business, is increasingly global. But at heart, customers still like to go local even if only by instinct. Especially if your business has a brick-and-mortar outlet – but even if it doesn’t! – focusing on local keywords can pull in local customers. And aside from that, it’s a sound way to build business relationships.

Tailored Solutions for Digital Marketing

Finally, digital marketing is a highly versatile tool for business promotion which can be implemented for just about any business with an online presence. This is something that sets the great digital agencies apart from the merely good ones. A good agency can promote a standard business successfully and give it more or less everything it needs, although it may not deliver elite results. A great agency will take any business, including those that are more niche, and identify what is needed to deliver the best possible results no matter the stakes.

It’s one thing to deliver digital marketing solutions well, and consistently. It’s another thing entirely to go beyond that and deliver the best results every time. That’s the aim of Digital Agency Launchpad, and it’s something we pride ourselves on achieving time and again.
