Digital Transformation is About People

Digital Transformation is about people

Yes, I can’t stress out enough about the fact that today’s digital transformation is foremost about people. People who have the right mindset and who think and speak digital.

Do you have the right people and team in place to lead this transformation in your business? A team who redefines your success and defines outcomes?

If yes, through my slides below, you can discover a digital marketing roadmap on what I believe is needed, in the digital world, if you want your business to create value for today’s (high expectation) consumers.

Oh And yes, this road can get muddy and messy but what counts is to get started now!

What does your digital marketing roadmap look like?

SEO dos

This time I want to share with you the SEO dos – Things to make sure to include whether you are hiring and SEO company or do the job yourself.

SEO dos:

  • You have to be committed to the process. SEO requires a long term commitment.
  • Patience. You won’t see instant results.
  • Use only one H1 header per page.
  • Have your Web Analytics tool installed.
  • Make SEO friendly URLs.
  • Conduct a keyword research from the beginning.
  • Build a great website with a sitemap page.
  • Use a relevant and unique title for every page.
  • Add social  media sharing button.
  • Regular update your website with fresh content.
  • Create link-building. Links that come from other sites to your site.

Of course the list could go on but let me know your SEO dos and write a comment.

SEO don’ts

Always good to catch up with some Web Developer friends and to listen to their latest work & insights.

Today still many companies miss the point of simple SEO don’ts. How about to review some of the basics.

Some SEO don’ts are:

  • Don’t stuff keywords in your footer page with colored or hidden text. It’s old school.
  • Don’t stuff keywords in your meta & image alt tags. It’s old school.
  • Don’t obsess over Google RankPage and don’t check your rankings every day.
  • Don’t post your most valuable content on secure HTTPS pages. Spiders don’t index those.
  • Don’t black-hat tactics and play illegal ways to game the system to your advantage.
  • Don’t make your site uncrawlable. Avoid developing an all Flash, all Graphic or all AJAX site.
  • Don’t wait too long in implementing SEO. When building or revamping a site SEO start on day 1.
  • Don’t create multi pages with same content.

Of course the list could go on but let me know your SEO don’ts and write a comment.

Please avoid these pitfalls and keep things simple.

Basic Web Analytics metrics for anyone

What are your basic questions when you open your Web Analytics tool at work?

1. How many visitors came to our Website?

2. How long did they stay?

3. How many pages did they visit?

Simple questions that anyone can answer. How you interpretate the data is another story.

I am following Avinash Kaushik on his blog to keep up with his great articles and work. I read his book “Web Analytics an hour a day” and he came out recently with a new book. Web Analytics 2.0.
