Demand and Competition

     This week in Web Creation we focused on demand and completion research when starting a business. All of this information was gathered in GoogleAds. We created an account then switched to expert mode or create campaign later. We then used the keywords functions to find clicks, impressions and competition (high, medium, low.)

    Using the numbers we found within, we had to decide if the business idea was a viable one. Something that has low demand and high competition is probably something to stay away from unless you have a way to innovate it. On the opposite side, something with high demand and low competition could be a winner. There are things to keep in mind with what you find. To use the example Brother Scott used. Let’s say there is a high demand for hot dogs but there a ton of hot dog stands out there, if you choose to sell hot dogs as well you are going to have to find a way to differentiate yourself. Or let’s say you are going to sell snow cones in an ice castle. There’s little competition but there is also no demand. You’ll have to find a way to make people want your product.

    I personally don’t think GoogleAds should be the only research you do for competition and demand when looking to start a business but it’s a great start and was a really great learning experience.

Quality Score and Google Analytics

 Quality Score      A Google Ads quality score is like a check engine light. It shows when something is in need of attention but doesn't tell you exactly what. The score is best off of three things. Your click through rate, the relevance of your ad to what people search for and the quality of your landing page. It's an overall performance score at how well you are doing at giving the consumer what they want. A few tips for raising your score are: 1. Optimize the mobile site. Be sure it is easy to navigate and has a fast loading time. 2. Answer the user's search. 3. Treat data responsibly.  Google Analytics      Google Analytics gathers data on your user.

Backlinks and Analytics

Backlinks   There are many strategy's for building backlinks and what will work best for you won't work the best for everyone else. It's important to find your target audiences and the places they spend their time online.

SEO

This week we worked on our search engine optimization. There are many things that going into this but important things to include are unique value, keyword optimization, social media sharable, and user experience. Each of these play key parts in your website being included high up on a search engine.  Having unique value sets you apart and keeps you revenant. You need to be able to offer something in a way that no one else is.  Keywords are how people find you. If you aren't using them correctly then when people are searching for something you are able to help them with you will not be included in their results.  Nothing turns people away like a poor user experience. It creates your first impression and reflects your customer service. If people don't have a good experience on your interface they are going to trust what you have to offer.  Social media is a key tool these days. It's a way to build a brand and you can use it for free. It offers a quick way to get word ...
