Internet Marketing Blue Mountains - What will 2016 hold for local business?

Internet Marketing Blue Mountains is a sophisticated matter, and as we go into 2016, people are in a mindset where they reflect back on the year that was 2015, and try and find out what life holds in store for them next. This is of course, impossible. You can certainly never know what is around the bend, but if you determine the important parts of the past and look for patterns you can get a better comprehension. This is particularly true for SEO. I would like to try and point out to you a couple of the major patterns that have been arising in 2015 throughout the Blue Mountains SEO market and the globe. From this with any luck together we can try and determine where to focus our efforts, this will be especially useful if you are a local Blue Mountains business.

Think Local

This is the most significant developing trend and it is going to keep improving in significance. This means that if you are an Blue Mountains business and you are looking for local customers, then this is wonderful. Launching with the changes from Google Pigeon, we saw an arising trend that local Blue Mountains searches were in fact ranking higher than business with national company headquaters, or even spots on the other side of town. Why? Because with local searches people want to know what is near them! In 2016 this is going to grow even more taking into consideration the recent Google search quality ratings guidelines http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/www.google.com/en//insidesearch/howsearchworks/assets/searchqualityevaluatorguidelines.pdf and also taking into consideration the My Business API as well as other things Google has been up to in 2015 will likely prove that they are investing more time and weighting into local search powers. So with that in mind, there are a few technological areas that will be appearing even more in 2016, so keep an eye out for them to help with your local search efforts.

Local-boosting tech patterns

There are a few technology areas which are rapidly growing overseas and are starting to emerge in Australia and it won't be long before they gain appeal in Blue Mountains.

Mobile wallets

Society is becoming more and more used to having around less money and slimmer wallets. Especially with the worldwide sweep (or swipe) of PayWave or PayPass over the past few years and other simple 'contactless' paying technologies we are shifting towards mobile wallets. This will mean 2 things for a local Blue Mountains business. 1 - you should be focusing on growing patterns, and make sure you have the capability to actually let people pay - such as, if you are yet to buy a PayWave or RFID reader for your ship, then get one. And 2 - you can start taking advantage of the mobile nature of paying. This means advertising, coupons and other fantastic deals that you can send out to people on their phones and therefore instantly into their wallets.

Beacons

Beacons are an item that has had growing use overseas and we are discovering them locally now too, but they are essentially other ways of getting special offers to people locally. It works through Bluetooth, and even a free Wi-Fi, and it just simply provides information or a discount to people who link or sign up to the Beacon. This means that customers at your Blue Mountains store, or even walking past the area will be given more motivation to actually enter the store and make a purchase. It's a smart promotion tool that will continue to grow in 2016, but I wouldn't be surprised if technology and innovation changes this even further throughout the year.

Aps

We also will see even better use of Aps such as Snapchat and Periscope for unconventional ways such as advertising. This has been seen in America with national projects run by Dunkin' Donuts and Taco Bell using these aps. It is amazing how men and women can keep reinventing ways to get their company out there, and the same can be done for your local company in Blue Mountains. Be creative and even look into what people have done, especially when it comes to social media - if you see something you like, take note of it and find a way to incorporate a similar idea into you own campaign.

My last pieces of parting advice - and these are things that you can do right now, today - would be to sign up to a new Social Media account. Facebook, Google +, Instagram, Pinterest. Pick one you don't have for your company yet and start a new campaign to reach a new audience. As you reach new people, you will grow your recognition at a local Blue Mountains level, and also boost your authority and perhaps even become a resource for people. This all goes to your local SEO efforts which are key in 2016. So you will possibly observe that the future actually looks efficient for Local businesses with trends and technology promoting even greater interaction at a 'community' level. This is great for Blue Mountains businesses, so I hope that you are as thrilled as I am.

Digital SEO Marketing-- The Battle to find out what Google is actually 'not providing' you.

Digital SEO Marketing is a daunting and complex area, and one of the ways that helps make it even harder is the way that Google is making it harder to find information. I am not usually one to grumble about the way that Google changes-- largely they are moving to help make the SEO 'game' a more trustworthy a worth driven market, but some things are still exasperating. So what am I fussing about here? Well allow me to make an effort and clarify it this way.

Irrespective of how you intend to structure your keyword research, everything begins with a particular core idea, one that you should develop by looking through your metrics and Google Analytics.

The thought is that from this central idea and keyword, you then throw together a seed list of terms, expanding through interrelated terms and synonyms of your central concept. The expansion of terms will then begin to be tailored towards SEO ideas, content marketing, internet marketing and other points to consider.

At one point, Google was content to make all of its searcher keyword data available free of charge to those wanting to conduct research. However, this has all changed with the modifications made to Google's policy and the role that '(Not Provided)' now plays.

Google has opted though that they are going to eliminate the access to the data generated by specific searchers. This features those who are logged into a Google account such as Gmail and Google+, as well as anyone using recent updates of Mozilla Firefox. The secure searchers are shown in the search result site's domain including 'https' rather than 'http'.

As explaining by the Not Provided site, www.NotprovidedCount.com, this has an effect on an ever increasing amount of data, being upwards of 80 %. This suggests that the days of easy and free access to marketing reports through Google Analytics accounts are at an end. Instead, you will need to invest in a Google AdWords advertising account if you want to use Google's proprietary information.

There are a variety of good keyword analysis tools available in this day and age, however an SEO company is an invaluable resource. With the changing nature of keywords since Hummingbird, and the issues of 'Not Provided', it seems that an SEO company may be one of the quickest ways to learn the real metrics for many specific niche areas. The main worry that is brought up by this is how it impacts the small businesses in Blue Mountains that are attempting to conduct some DIY SEO who don't always want to run a full SEO campaign or invest too much money in AdWords or AdSense. Where this goes next in 2016, only time will tell. But if you are looking out for more information on ways that you can try and get more accurate info and metrics that will actually help you, consider approaching an SEO Agency. Every agency is different, so do some research and find one that is best for you.
