    The show notes and links to what we talked about are below: Intro: Seth: Hey Everyone and welcome to the third episode of the second season of the Digital Marketing Dive Podcast. I'm Seth with Goldstein Media and with me as always is the amazing and talented Shannon of DIAM Business Consulting. In the last episode we went a bit off topic and discussed the very important topic of staying healthy and using technology to help us achieve that. This week we're going to talk about helping small businesses not only get online, but thrive. Shannon, you ready to rock? Shannon: Let's do it! Before we start diving in, can I just say something? Digital marketing is freaking scary!!!  Seth: It definitely can be. But with the right plan, it doesn't have to be. Shannon: Seriously. You've seen my ineptitude when it comes to the mechanics of social media and websites… you've had to be my knight in shining armor more than once! For everyone listening, who shares my distaste for the details...take a deep breath. We are going to do this together! Seth: Yea, we're in this together. Shannon: There are so many resources. So many paths to take for effective social media, and so many networks to utilize. How do you decide what's best for you and your company? Seth: It can be daunting. But planning it out can help. Also, remember, not all networks are needed to promote your business. Go where your customers are. Shannon: I've found that it is of utmost importance for the small businesses that we work with to have a plan. A GOOD PLAN. Find someone to build a comprehensive plan for your business. Everything needs to work together. Social media, websites, email/text blasts, events, etc. The messaging needs to be consistent across all platforms. The messaging also needs to be consistent in its frequency. We are creating trust. Find someone who knows how to incorporate all of that into your marketing plan. If that isn't something you can do right now, build a plan yourself temporarily until you can.  Links To Resources We Talked About: Shameless Plug: DIAM Business (Hey!

With me as always is Seth Goldstein, the Creative Director of Goldstein Media. It's our 30th episode. We made it! Let's see if we can come up with 30 more! This week we're talking about how to recover your SEO after Google goes crazy with the algorithm updates. We wanted to make this episode because of some new stats that have come out about SEO… In 2012 people thought Google was crazy because they updated the algorithm on average 3 times per day… Today, in 2020, that number is up to 9 times per day. Understand that fluctuations are natural… so chill out, grab a beer, and your rankings will likely recover. (As long as you're not doing anything that is inherently risky) Preemptively eliminate the risky baggage. If you partook in “sub-par” SEO efforts in the past and Google has not dinged you yet, count your lucky stars and start removing the negative stuff Look for keyword stuffed pages & blog posts Analyze your backlink profile Start adding new, baller ass (that's Shawn speak for “high quality”) content. The best antidote to bad SEO is Good SEO. This week we're doing our favorite Internet finds: Shawn: Acorns Seth: Rev Well that was fun.

    Hey Everyone! Welcome to another episode of the Digital Marketing Dive Podcast. I'm Shawn Swaim of Shawn Swaim Consulting and the self-proclaimed king of the Internet. With me as always is Seth Goldstein, the Creative Director of Goldstein Media. This week we're talking about practical Google Analytics for Small Businesses. Before you dive in, understand there is a TON of data in there and it can be overwhelming. The purpose of this episode is to narrow down the data you look at so that you can make better informed decisions without wanting to pull your hair out. Traffic by Source - look at what area is getting you traffic compared to previous time frames Side note… it's important to make sure you look at this information in a realistic time frame. For example, if you compare January to the pre-holiday rush, it'd be depressing. Bounce Rate/time on site - if people are leaving right away, you know that your message is not resonating. This is where we go with that ol' school “gut” metric. If you don't think your website looks good, your audience probably doesn't either. Put yourself in their shoes. Traffic by Landing Page - This is an easy way of identifying what is and isn't working on a molecular level. This is an indicator of SEO success as well as acting like a magnifying glass to what needs to be improved from a content perspective.
