I am an IT professional and have recently taken up learning SEO to try and start up an online business. I took some time to analyze your website and major competition. The most important thing when...
^ ...or Mary Kay women :P
For the most part I agree with you. I think forming your own networking group with complimentary businesses may be a better alternative.
^ Not very much at all. I thought about joining Toastmasters to improve my pitches and maybe a few local shelters to network.
I've joined a couple of business networking groups but find most...
You can keep the content, but have your well defined call to action at the top. You can use one of my pages as an example: https://www.bestnamebadges.com/printed-name-badges.php

Hello all,
I am new here and looking forward to getting to know everyone :)
I am starting a dog training business and I am getting stuck on the business name. I know how important the right...
"A Walk in the Park" ~ Dog Training
Really good name for a dog walking company. Hm not so much for dog training though imo.
I would visit every veterinarian and pet store (maybe even dog pound) to see if they would allow you to leave business cards or put a flyer up one their pin board. I'd visit every pet related event...
I agree with what everyone else is saying. You're a local, physical business. You cannot do all of your marketing online, especially initially, unless you're going to spend on advertising. You still...
Thank you all so much for your thoughts/advice. The reason I have been focusing on online advertising is because of reputation. I hear conflicting opinions about using unsolicited traditional...
I feel like I'm burning out. I'm constantly updating, blogging and social media-ing, but business hasn't taken off quite yet. The business began in late October. Since then I've only had a couple...
^ Thank you for your insight. I think long tail pro might be a tool worth investing in. And I had no idea outbound links mattered in terms of credibility.
Yep. Gone are the days of keyword...
^ Thanks Harold. Those are excellent ideas! I already enjoy keeping up with a blog so creating additional content on the subject shouldn't be too far of a stretch.
It’s all a matter of subject matter, literally. If you are trying to rank for the search term or keyword “health insurance” you will never make it no matter what you do.
If you are trying to rank...
Just a simple opinion about facebook groups --- they suck. At least for me. I agree with Harold that the format is very limiting. I hate the singular, linear layout and tons of ads that facebook ...
Depends. It's a lot of work and commitment. Vangogh will definitely have some thoughts for you.
Are you doing it as a customer support thing, or trying to build a community around a certain niche?...
Hey guys, I disappeared for a while but found this site so helpful and enjoy helping fellow business owners too.
But for now a question - have any of you thought about creating your own forum? How...
Thank you everyone for the assistance on this thread, and to NahidHasen and DeniseTaylor for your suggestions as well. I am still working on optimizing the site's design and SEO to get more traffic.
Hi, I would like to delete a thread of mine for privacy reasons. I can't even go back to edit information out. How can I do this? Thx.
For me, when I call to inquire about pricing on a service, it’s really more about being comfortable with the person or company than the price. I like to be sold a little and have a bit of...
Hi Amber,
I’m not an internet marketing person, there are many much more qualified to comment than me on here. However, as a pet owner and consumer I have a few thoughts.
Your site is very...
I offer pet sitting and waste removal services to local customers. Pet sitting is charged on a per visit basis, while waste removal is a monthly subscription service. I decided to offer both services...
A lot of good suggestions. One thing I would add is maybe adding a subtitle (i.e. slogan) under your company name explaining exactly what your site is about. Your company name "Dhil Dhil Membership"...
Thank you both for the input. This was one of my first calls to receive asking for a quote.
Just a note, I do pet sitting and charge on a per visit basis. This new customer wanted to do a 10-day...
Not everyone who calls you will buy so don't feel sales are not your strong point just because one person doesn't buy. We have our prices online and most every call asks the price even if they have...
