Did you know a Blog was a billboard ?

Posted on by

You are driving down I-95 on your way to the beach,  and you see one sign after another for a place called “South of the Border.”  You ignore the first 10 signs, but eventually your curiosity starts to get the better of you after 20 more signs, and  soon the kids are noticing the signs too, and begging you to stop.  Did the billboards do their trick ?  Apparently so,  because they get 1o0o’s of tourists to stop every year.  Now you ask me, what does that have to do with a blog helping my business?  I’m so glad you asked your favorite IT Consultant in Roanoke, Spencer Technology Solutions.

Imagine if you will that the internet is a virtual world, and your company’s website is your business in that virtual world. Now ask yourself how do you get traffic to stop at your business in the virtual world?  You need a lot of signs, “billboards” if you will that point traffic in your direction.  Blogs are those billboards, and your Social Media Consultant in Roanoke VA at Spen Tech can show you how to get your own billboards in the virtual world.

Not only do blogs give you an archive of news and information about your business for your customers, they give you a presence in the virtual world.  The more blogs you have with key words in them describing your company, the more your presence is felt, and that increases what we call Searh Engine Optimization (SEO).  What that means to you is when someone does a  google search for key words associated with your business, your business gets closer and closer to the top of the list with each blog you put in cyber space.  Instead of page 10, you now come up on page 1, and that my friend makes traffic stop.  Why not call Spencer Technology Solutions today, your Computer & Networking Consultants in Roanoke VA, and let us show you how to stop traffic the high tech way – 540-815-9397.
