Competitor analysis is the first of the 6 steps to web marketing success
because understanding how your competitor’s have succeeded online can
help you avoid the costly trial and error of testing strategies that do not
work. After we disassemble your competition’s web marketing we will
outline in clear detail what they have done right to be worthy of
your scrutiny.
This intelligence will play a critical role in creating the custom web
strategy that will serve as your map to online success.
After deconstructing your competitor’s web marketing techniques
(Step 1) we need to become intimately aware of the current state
of optimization for your web site and where it needs to be
improved for future marketing.
Upon completion of this step we will have a significantly clearer
picture of the current status of your website and another step closer
to creating the ultimate Custom Web Strategy (Step 4).
Step 2 provided us with a grasp of your website’s marketing
readiness and effectiveness. The purpose of the Web Marketing
Review is to evaluate every type of web marketing you have done
and are doing now for your web site. This information will complete
the picture of your current web marketing profile. Once we complete
this 3rd step of the 6 Step Plan we will have all we need to create
a powerful web strategy for you.
The data accumulated in Steps 1 through 3 will be used to formulate
a clear and concise Custom Web Strategy that will act as a blueprint
to provide powerful short term and long term results. Note: Where
it appears work is being repeated from Steps 1 through 3 it is
actually just placement and (possibly) refinement of the findings for
the purpose of a final holistic strategy.
Now it is time to implement the list of web site optimization
solutions the Custom Web Strategy clearly outlines. The solutions
will provide some or all of the following benefits:
The sixth step is called Reputation Enhancement because a strong reputation
is to building and sustaining a successful online presence. At this stage you
get to implement the reputation-building marketing initiatives that were so
carefully prepared in the Custom Web Strategy (Step 4). For example:
