How to Build a Powerful Digital Brand? Here you are going to learn how you can build a Digital Brand for your business and how Digital Branding Is required. So let’s start.  GET A UNIQUE VOICE TO YOUR DIGITAL BRAND This is very important thing you need while creating Digital Brand awareness. But what exactly does it mean? It means to add a same tone/voice through your entire content. Whether it is a blog, article, about us section, mission, vision, video, infographics, etc. Have same tone throughout your content. For example check out this blog’s tone from starting it is all written in “you” format (reader’s format). Some things you can check for this is your mission, vision and motto statements. Ask yourself are they compelling enough? Will customer be able to see through the company by just having a glance at its motto? You should see these two examples below to understand importance of one voice throughout the organization in your motto. INDIAN AIR FORCE (IAF) – “NABHA SPARSHAM DEEPTAM” aka “Touch the sky with glory”. You can see the motto itself fills the reader with unending patriotism and enthusiasm. You can also see that the motto is concise and clear about what their organizations stands for. “TOUCH THE SKY” refers to planes and jets flying in the sky and “glory” represents victory over enemy and protecting the country’s aerial borders. APPLE INC. – “THINK DIFFERENT”. Steve Jobs has readily transformed design perspective of people across globe. Its motto“ THINK DIFFERENT” fundamentally stand for always looking for change and development through innovation and technology. This is what is depicted in its most popular product iPHONE. So your voice should always set harmony with what your company stands for. TELL YOUR STORY IN THE MOST APPEALING WAY ON EARTH Simon Sinek is world class author and motivational speaker who says that people don’t buy your product rather they buy your story. If you have a story compelling enough for your buyer persona and you can tell it in the most appealing way possible, you will have tremendous customer base and followers. The Golden circle, one of the marketing concepts of Simon, says that people are not interested in WHAT you do rather they are interested in WHY you do it. So if you can provide them your “WHY” within your story, they most probably will come to you. One another way you can tell your Digital Brand story is by content marketing. Content marketing is a useful weapon for this. Many companies have seen approx. 1200% of growth in organic traffic by just focusing on content marketing alone. Even if you just create small “how to” blogs or “ultimate guide” blogs, you are good to go as far as you keep providing value to your visitors. So tell your story in most appealing way to attract visitors. FOCUS ON BUYER PERSONA AND ITS UI/UX Buyer persona is nothing but an assumption of what your ideal customer looks like. Once you know this, determine how you want your user experience (UX) to be. Customer journey experience is going to determine whether they had fun buying products from you or not and want to come back again to you or not. Jeff Bezos, Founder of AMAZON, says that even if you follow only what customer expects from you and focus on improving customer experience alone, you too can make it big like other companies. Ask yourself what is it that my ideal buyer persona is looking for? What should I say on my ads or website that will make him come to me. If you carefully answer these questions you will provide best customer buying experience which will make them come to you again and again. Providing free side kicks in buyer’s journey or a small discount makes them feel special and enhances your Digital Brand. CREATE VALUABLE CONTENT FOR YOUR USERS As you have seen it before, adding value to your customer stands out of everything. Nothing better than a customer getting its query satisfied by landing on your content. For this you need to create content that genuinely aligns through user query intent and provides value answers to visitors.

2. BRAND AMBASSADOR-

It is face of the company in the market or say spokesperson. He/she is the person that comes to mind when your company gets a word around people. Generally people don’t remember the logo or symbol with that much accuracy that they can with a person.

A great example would be that one might not remember official logo of Gujarat tourism but we all remember Amitabh Bachchan sayin “kuch din to guzariye Gujarat me”.

That is the value of brand ambassador. It also takes a lot of time to go big in this field.

3. BRAND AWARENESS-

6. BRAND ASSETS-

It consists of all the single or dual degree elements like texts, designs, symbols that come together to make a brand look better and easily remembered.

A brand asset is something you do not want to mess with frequently. It is because it is very difficult to make people remember the symbol. And once done that if you change it mostly you will have to start from ground zero.

7. BRAND EXPERIENCE-

The experience that company visitors get which lets them form an imprint about your brand is called brand experience. Sometimes it is positive like greetings, welcome message, thank you message, coupon discounts can give you good BE, but crtic comment or newspaper, journal commenting about your lack of support side can be bad BE.

8. BRAND EXTENSION-

For example RIL Expansion took the market brand in petroleum and oil industries but now it has entered streaming market, e commerce, telecommunication.

OFF-page SEO

Chapter 5: Off-Page SEO

From the Complete SEO Guide

What is Off-page SEO?

Any practice that you follow outside your web page which affects your search engine ranking is called OFF PAGE SEO.

Unlike on-page SEO, it is not in your control most of the time i.e you cannot control off-page SEO.

Why OFF PAGE SEO?

OFF page SEO is a very important factor in ranking your website high on search engines like Google. One of the big parts of OFF PAGE SEO is link building. It basically works as vote which signifies authority, genuineness, and relevance of your content which helps you rank in searches. Hence to rank high you need OFF PAGE SEO.

One of the big parts of OFF page SEO is link building. Link building is the practice of linking different web pages to your websites. Links that point towards your web page are called inbound links and links that your site points towards some other web page is called outbound links.

What are the Top methods of link building (Off-Page SEO)?

1) Fixing Broken Links

2) Top-Notch Guest Blogging

3) Out-Reach Link Building Tactic

1. Fix broken links

Broken links are those links that are either expired by page or page doesn’t exist anymore. If a broken link is clicked by the user it will result in “error 404”. It will result in bad user experience and the user will probably not visit your site again.

You Can Also Generate A Backlink With Broken Links.

The Easiest Way To Get A Backlink Is Fixing A Broken Link. If You Can Find A Broken Link On A Certain Web Page And Have The Same Niche As Yours You Can Ping The Owner Of That Web Site To Make Him Aware Of The Broken Links And Ask Him To Link That Content To Your Site Which Has More Value Comparatively.

How Do You Find Broken Links To Fix? Well, Thanks To Different Tools Like Google Webmaster Tools Or W3C Link Checker Which Allows You To Find Broken Links On The Website.

Most Of The Time If You Make A Person Aware Of The Broken Links On His Website He Will, Out Of Courtesy, Provide You With A Backlink Pointing Towards Your Website.

2. Top-notch guest blogging

Many experts consider guest blogging as an outdated concept in link building but it is still a working method that can be used for quality backlinks.

What guest blogging means is you write an article in your niche but on some other platform than yours. You put the link of your web site in that article and expect referral visitors from that platform to come to your site. Also, the crawler will find a link to your website which will act as a vote of authority and confidence while ranking in SERPs.

To find such platforms that allow guest blogging you can use Google search operator. It basically allows you to see and reach potential sites which let you write a blog on their platform.

Plenty of sites are not active for guest blogging but if you can pitch them manually most of them won’t deny your request to write a blog on their platform.

Why? Because nobody will miss the opportunity to have a free, optimized content on site which will bring them traffic. You get a backlink and other site gets content. It is a win-win situation for both of you.

3. Out-Reach Link Building Tactic

The most genuine and oldest of the method is outreach link building. If you have good content you reach out to people with the same niche as yours and tell them to link their web site to your content.

Remember, You Need To Have Value-Rich Content For This, Or Else Nobody Will Care To Link To Your Website. As Bill Gates Once Said “In The Next Era, CONTENT Is The KING” And It Is Nothing But True.

If You Can Provide Rich Content That Adds Value To Your Users People Will Gladly Link Their Site To Yours Even If You Don’t Reach Out To Them In The First Place.

This Is Called A Natural Link Where The Linker Thinks That Your Content Might Be Useful To His Readers. And Eventually Gives You A Backlink.

What Do You Need To Take Care Of While Link Building?

1) PAGE RANK OF LINKING SITE

2) LINK DOMAIN FREQUENCY

3) DO FOLLOW & NO FOLLOW LINKS

4) RELEVANT LINKS

5) ANCHOR TEXT IN YOUR LINK

1.PAGE RANK OF LINKING SITE

The rank of your linking site matters a lot. If a high ranked site links to your web page search engine crawlers understand that your content is genuine and ranks you higher.

2. LINK DOMAIN FREQUENCY

More the number of high quality linking domains more is your chance to rank high on SERPs. If websites link with high domain score link to your site higher is your chances to stand out in the crowd of ranking.

3. DO FOLLOW & NO FOLLOW LINKS

Do follow links allow crawlers to get to the destination of pointing links. No, follow links do not allow the crawler to pass through that link though it gives you referral traffic on your website.

4.RELEVANT LINKS

Many black hat SEO methods include fooling the search crawler by putting stuffed backlinks without considering user intent. If the links are not relevant or say has nothing to do with your niche then it will degrade your site and if done overly might as well result in penalized sites.

5. ANCHOR TEXT IN YOUR LINK

Anchor text is nothing but clickable words that redirects the user to the provided backlink. Anchor text allows crawlers to better understand the context of backlink and hence easily helps you to rank high on search engine pages. If a target keyword is included in Anchor text it will work alongside crawler to rank your website on SERPs.
