Social Media Marketing (SMO) Services | What You Should Know

Rank on the first page of Google without paying the search engines and without breaking the rules!

Social Media Marketing involves combining the goals of Internet marketing with the use of social book-marketing sites such as digg, Technorati, YouTube, del.icio.us, and others. Goals of social media marketing include brand awareness, search engine placement, reputation management and creating customer loyalty.

Many social media communities do not respond positively to strictly commercial sites, so a bit more tact is needed to execute a successful social media marketing campaign.

Social Media Marketing campaigns must create content targeted to these online communities with messages that appeal to them, and that visitors can interact with (leave comments, user-generated content and profiles).

One-way incoming links to commercial brochure sites are becoming increasingly difficult unless you have amazing link bait, substantial link budget (but even this will only go so far).. Some tactics that companies are using to create compelling messages include controversial posts, humor or authoritative information. This creates the most attention and links, syndication and all important incoming links. When designed correctly, a social media site can dramatically increase your search engine rankings, strength of your site, create floods of traffic, sales and leads. Not to mention managing your reputation, creating customer loyalty and making your brand known (even for small start-ups).

An ideal way to take advantages of social media marketing, and subsequently your search placement is to create a social media site, designed and managed by a professional social media or Internet marketing firm. Sure, you could have someone in-house design this, or coordinate the efforts of developers, marketers, copywriters and database administrators to get something like this up, but this would be costly and take substantial time.

Social Media Systems creates a complete social media website, complete with an SEO friendly content management system that optimizes every page, post and profile for social media and the search engines. All the client has to do is write about their services and area of expertise, then using the creative commons license to distribute this information to 1,000’s of content providers, news portals and top bloggers who through this clause are required to link back to your site and give credit to you as the source of the information. This, over time, establishes you as an authority source for your given industry or market segment. This wil increases the power of your site, search engine rankings, reputability and opportunities for interviews in mainstream media (since you will be considered an “authority source” for your industry).

Sky Search Social Media Marketing sells ongoing services designed to help companies stay on top of changes in the search engines, social media optimization and marketing as well as consulting on how to get the most out of this new technology. And this is done with fair pricing, hard work and constant client contact and consulting. Social Media Systems sites can be a stand-alone solution or placed on your current website.

The site comes complete with Web 2.0 elements such as a 5-star rating system for pages and posts, user profiles, user-generated content and more interactive features are added monthly as the technology evolves.

Packages start at $2550 or $3550 if you want to include writing services. This down payment covers a 90-day trial in which the site is created, optimized with the most current configuration and filled with content, then submitted to all the major search engines, directories as well as blog search sites such as Technorati, bloglines, etc., etc. etc. (there are over 100 blog search sites that you will show up at). We also set up profiles for you on Technorati and other sites that allow you to create profiles with links to your site.

By the end of the 90 day trial, we can rank a site for combinations of 250+ keywords on the first page organic results in Google. If clients are satisfied they pay $500/month thereafter (on a month-to-month basis) for exclusivity (we can only rank one site for any given keyword set, so only one client from each given industry). Also included in the ongoing $500 monthly fee is updates to the website configuration to keep up with changes in the way Google and the other search engines rank sites as well as additional Web 2.0 features that become available and social media optimization to get the most out of this medium.

If after the 90 day trial, clients are not satisfied, they still own the site and can do with it what they want, we don’t own the site, YOU DO! Anything we put into the site, and the site itself is yours, but you won’t receive the monthly updates and exclusivity.
