Digital Marketing Strategies, What You Need to Do, What You Need to Know, and What Few People Know Even Exists

Some business owners in Texas believe that digital marketing consists only of posting a few photos on Facebook or uploading an occasional video to Instagram. However, a digital marketing strategy is much more than that, and it can be summarized with the following answer: Digital Marketing is the set of actions that help people find your business, trust your company, and ultimately become customers. Because let’s be honest; you can have the best landscaping service, the best roofing company, or the best restaurant in town, but if nobody knows you exist, you are simply waiting for a miracle to happen.

Digital marketing is not based on spending money on advertising, but on building a path of trust so customers can find their way to you

One of the most common mistakes we see among small businesses and LLCs is believing that marketing means paying for ads from time to time and that is... like buying a fishing rod and thinking you will automatically have fish for the entire year. A digital marketing strategy combines different tools that work together to generate results, for example: Creating your own website, setting up Google Business Profile, SEO, social media, advertising campaigns, content, and online reputation should all work as a team.

Let’s think of a simple example; imagine you have a lemonade stand on a street where nobody passes by, even if you make the best lemonade in the world, nobody will buy it because nobody knows you are there. So if we talk about traditional marketing, the first thing you would do is place signs, tell your friends, decorate your stand, and get people talking about it. That is great, but now think about this: if that does not work as expected, then you take your phone, create an image using AI, ChatGPT, or whatever tool you want, place it on a digital link or social media platform such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, or others and send it through groups or messages, then you would already be talking about Digital Marketing.

But that is not all... because digital marketing is not only that, it brings together much more such as a website, Google Business strategies, SEO, paid advertising, Geographic Targeting Ads, among several other actions, so what can happen is that it works, and most likely you will earn more and guess what... With the same product.

That is right; You did not change the lemonade; you simply helped more people discover it, so you can earn more.

So... what is a digital strategy and what is NOT a digital strategy?

A digital strategy is an organized plan to achieve specific goals, such as: Getting more calls, generating more quotes, increasing sales, or attracting new customers. What is NOT a digital strategy is placing signs at the entrance of your business, posting anything whenever you have time, constantly changing your image, or running advertising without knowing what results you are getting. Using a cellphone to place advertisements is an action, but it is not a Digital Marketing strategy.

This happens in businesses every day. Companies that grow have processes, objectives, and defined actions. Companies that depend only on luck often spend months wondering why new customers are not arriving.

That is why we recommend that before investing money in advertising, you build a solid foundation, a strategy that involves all its elements. A professional website, optimized profiles, relevant content, and clear objectives can make an enormous difference in your business results.

"Digital marketing is not about chasing customers without purpose, it is about building a strategy with objectives so customers can find you."
