E254 – Generate organic traffic using SEO best practices and create more leads and conversions | with Brandon Liebowitz

---

Since graduating college, Brandon has worked in digital marketing agencies and learned different marketing strategies. The one that intrigued him the most was SEO. Unlike paid ads and social media, SEO is the best way to create free organic traffic. What started as a side hustle ten years ago has become a successful business for Brandon. The most significant change over the past ten years is that SEO is no longer enough. You need to convert the leads SEO generates. That comes down to website design and other tactics. 

When creating an SEO campaign, it’s important to tie it to the client’s main website. This is the best way to attract new leads. Otherwise, Google gets confused and doesn’t know which page to rank higher, the landing page created for SEO or the main website. A skilled marketer can steer you in the right direction.  Brandon always makes sure his clients know the timeline of different marketing strategies. With SEO, it’s often trial and error, with a lot of internet sleuthing to see which keywords are ranking and if they’re successful. SEO is the scenic route to successful lead generation, but it’s a guaranteed win.

SEO may be the best way to increase traffic to your website, but you need to be top of mind to your consumers for a high conversion rate. Conversions happen when there is trust and authority. Email is a proven strategy to stay top of mind and help with conversions. Another method that helps with conversions is remarketing ads. That’s a way to follow the lead over time and give them a little nudge or reminder – “Hey, I’m still here. Do you still need my service?”

Having a solid SEO campaign may be a top priority for digital marketing. Skilled marketers know that SEO is not enough. To convert leads, you need other strategies. In this episode of the One Big Tip podcast, Brandon shares tried and true tactics that work to grow your business in this episode of the One Big Tip podcast.
