Elon Musk may have put the final nail in X’s coffin. On Wednesday, Musk appeared to endorse an antisemitic post by user @breakingbaht alleging that “Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.” In response, Musk posted, “You have spoken the actual truth.”
The original post seemed to echo the beliefs of the “great replacement” conspiracy theory, which is popular among white supremacists and right-wing extremists. The backlash has been swift. In a statement earlier today, White House spokesperson Andrew Bates condemned the “abhorrent promotion of antisemitic and racist hate in the strongest terms, which runs against our core values as Americans,” and marquee advertisers have been quick to pull their business. IBM, Disney, Liongsgate, and the European Union have pulled advertising from X in response to Musk’s post. According to a report in Axios, Apple has also paused advertising on X.
At the time of publication, Apple had not responded to multiple requests for comment, nor has it confirmed that it is pulling its advertising from X.
“Advertisers like IBM and Apple aren’t just big names, they’re big spenders on X,” says Angelo Carusone, president of Media Matters, a media watchdog group which has been tracking advertiser behavior on X. Carusone, citing data shared by data insights firm Sensor Tower, says that in July, the top five advertisers on X by spending were Apple, FinanceBuzz.io, Amazon, Mondelez International, and Hewlett-Packard. In the past, Apple has frequently been among the top 20 advertisers on X.
Carusone adds that Apple typically signals a certain level of brand safety to other, smaller advertisers. The company is also known for its stringent policies around controversial content in its App Store and on its own platforms. If Apple has paused, or plans to pause, its advertising on X, it “could have a halo effect,” Carusone claims, scaring other advertisers away from the platform. “It goes way beyond money.”
In August, X CEO Linda Yaccarino emphasized that the company was expanding its brand-safety tools, designed to give advertisers and marketers more control over what kind of content their ads appeared in proximity to.
But this recent spate of antisemitic content on X, and the juxtaposition of big-brand ads next to it, only underscores to advertisers that X is a risky bet, experts argue. “Even with those tools, if you’re an advertiser right now you’re thinking, there’s quite literally nothing I can do on this platform to improve my experience,” Carusone says.
“The problem with X is not only that there's misinformation and antisemitic content on the platform, and other hateful content as well, but that it's being spread by Musk himself,” says Jasmine Enberg, principal analyst for social media at Insider Intelligence, a market research firm.
“The brand safety concern for advertisers isn't just about the content but about the platform and the leadership.” Enberg argues that Musk has treated the company like something he could remake in his own image, not understanding that “what he wants and what he seemingly believes is not necessarily aligned with what users and advertisers on the platform want and believe.”
Under Musk’s leadership, X is expected to see an unprecedented 54 percent drop in advertising revenue, which previously accounted for more than 90 percent of the company’s total.
Even before Musk took ownership of then-Twitter, experts worried that his particular brand of free speech absolutism would lead to a flood of trolls and hate speech on the platform. In his first weeks as owner, Musk laid off nearly everyone working on trust and safety, the teams responsible for ensuring that hate speech, violence, and inappropriate content stay off the platform. (Hate speech did, in fact, increase under Musk’s leadership.) Musk’s lax approach to content moderation also nearly got the platform banned during the 2022 presidential runoffs in Brazil, the platform’s third largest market.
In response, advertisers began to flee, worried about the brand safety risks of their products appearing next to hateful or inflammatory posts. Since joining X as CEO earlier this year, Yaccarino, formerly global advertising lead at NBCUniversal, has seemingly been hampered in her ability to woo back advertisers by Musk’s decisions. And while X has claimed it was regaining advertisers, an October study from Media Matters found that X’s 100 largest advertisers were spending 90 percent less than they did before Musk’s takeover.

RECENT SEO & MARKETING NEWS FOR ECOMMERCE, JUNE 2024
You know the drill - here's all the marketing, SEO, social media etc. news for the last month. You can see the Etsy and other ecommerce news here.
TOP NEWS & ARTICLES
As of July 5th, sites that cannot be read on mobile will no longer be indexed by Google. This has been coming for a long time, and we’ve all had plenty of warning, so it is unlikely to affect many ecommerce sites.
One final reminder that you need to save your old Google Universal Analytics data before July 1, as it will vanish on that date. There are several ways to do this. [Even if you never upgraded to Google Analytics 4, the old stats will still be going away, so don't miss out on saving the important stuff!]
SEO: GOOGLE & OTHER SEARCH ENGINES
If you are interested in deep dives into the recent Google leak, Aleyda Solis has compiled a Google spreadsheet (ironically), of articles on the topic, along with resources.
It appears that Google’s AI Overviews are so bad that they are now only showing up for 15% of queries, down from 84%.
Google’s latest spam update started June 20th.
This case study on Google’s March core update looks at the hazards of having high-ranking but irrelevant content on your website.
Another recent study looking at the effect of various Google updates found that some losing sites may have been trying to game SEO a little too much in Google’s eyes.
Out-of-date content can hurt SEO, but there are proven tactics for dealing with those pages.
If you missed any Google news last month - and there was a lot of it! - Barry Schwartz summarized May for you.
SOCIAL MEDIA - All Aspects, By Site
General
Artists concerned about AI tools training on their items are joining Cara in droves, and many are hoping to leave Meta properties at the same time. Cara allows users to add Glaze to their images, which disrupts AI training.
True federated social sites are getting closer, with an app that lets Mastodon users and Bluesky users connect without joining the other site. Confused about how federation works? This TechCrunch article goes through all of the current details, and highlights some of the biggest federated sites, including Mastodon, Threads, and Bluesky.
Facebook (includes relevant general news from Meta)
Meta will stop using users’ personal posts and information to train its AI models in the EU, due to privacy concerns.
Turns out that using AI to detect use of AI is just as flawed as most applications of AI - ask Meta, which is inaccurately claiming some real photos were “Made with AI”.
Facebook thinks it is for young people again. Yes, really. Among other areas, “Facebook Dating is continuing to see steady and strong daily active user growth, and is up +20% year-over-year with young adults in the United States and Canada.”
Here’s a decent overview of various types of Meta ads; it is written by Wix, but has some useful points for any advertiser.
Instagram
The head of Instagram divulged some tips on the algorithm recently, including the fact that video gets more views than photos these days.
Some video ads on Instagram can’t be skipped right now, but it is only a test.
Apparently Instagram’s Notes feature is quite popular with teens, so the platform is adding more to it. This includes mentions and likes.
LinkedIn
If you want a full sized image in posts with links, you will need to pay for LinkedIn Ads from now on. Regular posts with links now have downsized images. If you don’t know anything about LinkedIn Ads, here’s how they work.
LinkedIn Ads can no longer use data from LinkedIn Groups to target people in Europe.
Pinterest
Pinterest is now working with Shopify for its “Pinterest Inclusion Fund” which helps underrepresented groups use Pinterest to boost their businesses.
Reddit
Reddit’s traffic is said to be up 39% this year, increasing interest in using it for marketing. It is also making people worry about bad information.
Reddit has changed its conversation ads.
Snapchat
Snapchat now has increased safety features, including improved blocking abilities.
“Snap Inc., the parent company of Snapchat, has agreed to pay $15 million to settle a gender discrimination lawsuit from the California Civil Rights Department...Snap paid women less and offered them fewer promotions when compared to male employees.”
Threads
Threads has expanded the ability to post to other federated social sites.
TikTok
TikTok has combined a lot of its Creator Center tools into one dashboard called TikTok Studio.
Klaviyo now integrates with Tiktok, so advertisers can find their known audiences and personalize ads.
Twitter
Hootsuite has updated its guide to Twitter ads, which is quite detailed.
(CONTENT) MARKETING (includes blogging, emails, and strategies)
July content marketing ideas include International Joke Day (July 1). [I can’t decide if I am insulted or not that it is the same day as Canada Day.]
Patreon has announced several upcoming changes to their creator tools, including the ability to give away paid memberships to fans at no charge, opening chat to free members, and a countdown clock for big posts.
ONLINE ADVERTISING (EXCEPT INDIVIDUAL SOCIAL MEDIA AND ECOMMERCE SITES)
Microsoft’s smart shopping campaigns will become “Performance Max” in the near future, although you can also make that change yourself now.
Brave now has Search Ads in some areas, after testing them for a year and a half.
Websites that offer coupon codes and use Google’s free shopping ads can sign up to have the codes displayed in Google's organic search listings. You can get all of the details here.
STATS, DATA, TRACKING
If you use Google Shopping Ads (free or paid) for your website, you can now see their performance in Google Images by using the Google Search Console.
Google Analytics 4 has an updated Realtime report now.
BUSINESS & CONSUMER TRENDS, STATS & REPORTS; SOCIOLOGY & PSYCHOLOGY, CUSTOMER SERVICE
Price cutting (as opposed to sales and discounts) is the latest retail trend. “[C]onsumer spending on goods fell 0.2% during [April]”, while US prices were up 2.7%.
US consumers are still buying some types of “hot” items, such as clothing, but they are spending less on electronics and homewares.
UK ecommerce sales to the EU have dropped £5.9 billion since Brexit.
IMAGES, VIDEO, GRAPHIC DESIGN, & FREE ONLINE TOOLS
Adobe confirms it will not use its customers’ content to train AI.
A list of 19 new design tools, including free fonts. [Note: some of the tools use AI.] And here are even more free font libraries and resources.

Must-Have Programmatic SEO Tools for Superior Rankings
Understanding Programmatic SEO
What is programmatic SEO?
Programmatic SEO uses automated tools and scripts to scale SEO efforts. In contrast to traditional SEO, where huge manual efforts were taken, programmatic SEO extracts data and uses automation for content development, on-page SEO element optimization, and large-scale link building. This is especially effective on large websites with thousands of pages, like e-commerce platforms, travel sites, and news portals.
The Power of SEO Automation
The automation within SEO tends to consume less time, with large content levels needing optimization. Using programmatic tools, therefore, makes it easier to analyze vast volumes of data, identify opportunities, and even make changes within the least period of time available. This thus keeps you ahead in the competitive SEO game and helps drive more organic traffic to your site.
Top Programmatic SEO Tools
1. Screaming Frog SEO Spider
The Screaming Frog is a multipurpose tool that crawls websites to identify SEO issues. Amongst the things it does are everything, from broken links to duplication of content and missing metadata to other on-page SEO problems within your website. Screaming Frog shortens a procedure from thousands of hours of manual work to hours of automated work.
Example: It helped an e-commerce giant fix over 10,000 broken links and increase their organic traffic by as much as 20%.
2. Ahrefs
Ahrefs is an all-in-one SEO tool that helps you understand your website performance, backlinks, and keyword research. The site audit shows technical SEO issues, whereas its keyword research and content explorer tools help one locate new content opportunities.
Example: A travel blog that used Ahrefs for sniffing out high-potential keywords and updating its existing content for those keywords grew search visibility by 30%.
3. SEMrush
SEMrush is the next well-known, full-featured SEO tool with a lot of features related to keyword research, site audit, backlink analysis, and competitor analysis. Its position tracking and content optimization tools are very helpful in programmatic SEO.
Example: A news portal leveraged SEMrush to analyze competitor strategies, thus improving their content and hoisting themselves to the first page of rankings significantly.
4. Google Data Studio
Google Data Studio allows users to build interactive dashboards from a professional and visualized perspective regarding SEO data. It is possible to integrate data from different sources like Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and third-party tools while tracking SEO performance in real-time.
Example: Google Data Studio helped a retailer stay up-to-date on all of their SEO KPIs to drive data-driven decisions that led to a 25% organic traffic improvement.
5. Python
Python, in general, is a very powerful programming language with the ability to program almost all SEO work. You can write a script in Python to scrape data, analyze huge datasets, automate content optimization, and much more.
Example: A marketing agency used Python for thousands of product meta-description automations. This saved the manual time of resources and improved search rank.
The How for Programmatic SEO
Step 1: In-Depth Site Analysis
Before diving into programmatic SEO, one has to conduct a full site audit. Such technical SEO issues, together with on-page optimization gaps and opportunities to earn backlinks, can be found with tools like Screaming Frog, Ahrefs, and SEMrush.
Step 2: Identify High-Impact Opportunities
Use the data collected to figure out the biggest bang-for-buck opportunities. Look at those pages with the potential for quite a high volume of traffic, but which are underperforming regarding the keywords focused on and content gaps that can be filled with new or updated content.
Step 3: Content Automation
This is one of the most vital parts of programmatic SEO. Scripts and tools such as the ones programmed in Python for the generation of content come quite in handy for producing significant, plentiful, and high-quality content in a short amount of time. Ensure no duplication of content, relevance, and optimization for all your target keywords.
Example: An e-commerce website generated unique product descriptions for thousands of its products with a Python script, gaining 15% more organic traffic.
Step 4: Optimize on-page elements
Tools like Screaming Frog and Ahrefs can also be leveraged to find loopholes for optimizing the on-page SEO elements. This includes meta titles, meta descriptions, headings, or even adding alt text for images. Make these changes in as effective a manner as possible.
Step 5: Build High-Quality Backlinks
Link building is one of the most vital components of SEO. Tools to be used in this regard include Ahrefs and SEMrush, which help identify opportunities for backlinks and automate outreach campaigns. Begin to acquire high-quality links from authoritative websites.
Example: A SaaS company automated its link-building outreach using SEMrush, landed some wonderful backlinks from industry-leading blogs, and considerably improved its domain authority. ### Step 6: Monitor and Analyze Performance
Regularly track your SEO performance on Google Data Studio. Analyze your data concerning your programmatic efforts and make data-driven decisions on the refinement of your strategy.
See Programmatic SEO in Action
50% Win in Organic Traffic for an E-Commerce Site
Remarkably, an e-commerce electronics website was undergoing an exercise in setting up programmatic SEO for its product pages with Python scripting to enable unique meta descriptions while fixing technical issues with the help of Screaming Frog. Within just six months, the experience had already driven a 50% rise in organic traffic.
A Travel Blog Boosts Search Visibility by 40%
Ahrefs and SEMrush were used to recognize high-potential keywords and optimize the content on their travel blog. By automating updates in content and link-building activities, it was able to set itself up to achieve 40% increased search visibility and more organic visitors.
User Engagement Improvement on a News Portal
A news portal had the option to use Google Data Studio to make some real-time dashboards to monitor their performance in SEO. Backed by insights from real-time dashboards, this helped them optimize the content strategy, leading to increased user engagement and organic traffic.
Challenges and Solutions in Programmatic SEO
Ensuring Content Quality
Quality may take a hit in the automated process of creating content. Therefore, ensure that your automated scripts can produce unique, high-quality, and relevant content. Make sure to review and fine-tune the content generation process periodically.
Handling Huge Amounts of Data
Dealing with huge amounts of data can become overwhelming. Use data visualization tools such as Google Data Studio to create dashboards that are interactive, easy to make sense of, and result in effective decision-making.
Keeping Current With Algorithm Changes
Search engine algorithms are always in a state of flux. Keep current on all the recent updates and calibrate your programmatic SEO strategies accordingly. Get ahead of the learning curve by following industry blogs, attending webinars, and taking part in SEO forums.
Future of Programmatic SEO
The future of programmatic SEO seems promising, as developing sectors in artificial intelligence and machine learning are taking this space to new heights. Developing AI-driven tools would allow much more sophisticated automation of tasks, thus making things easier and faster for marketers to optimize sites as well.
There are already AI-driven content creation tools that can make the content to be written highly relevant and engaging at scale, multiplying the potential of programmatic SEO.
Conclusion
Programmatic SEO is the next step for any digital marketer willing to scale up efforts in the competitive online landscape. The right tools and techniques put you in a position to automate key SEO tasks, thus optimizing your website for more organic traffic. The same goals can be reached more effectively and efficiently if one applies programmatic SEO to an e-commerce site, a travel blog, or even a news portal.

I gotta rant about the state of math education for a minute. I say this as a math educator with a math PhD who currently works to create digital math content and assessments (primarily for high school and college level). We have to do better for students and the way we're attempting to do that is mostly garbage because of publishing companies.
I currently work for two educational publishers who will remain unnamed. They're competitors and I think it's funny that I and one other person I know work for both of them.
Anyway, company M, who I primarily work for, is finding that students are using fewer of their tools and appear to just guess when they don't know an answer instead of attempting and getting feedback. Instead of figuring out what would actually help students, this company is taking a more bare bones approach to authoring math assessment tools going forward, firing authors (the team I was on used to have over 20 people at any given time and now there are 4 of us), and then complaining how we can't keep up with authoring new content. The problem is that they are not offering a wider variety of content for different types of learners, but they don't want to hear that. They write a textbook, make online homework and study guides for it, and call it good. That's not nearly enough, but they don't want to invest in getting better.
This week I started training for a new part time job at company C to try to make a little more money and they are trying to do a better job. They want higher student engagement, fewer assessments, and for students to explore a topic instead of traditional lectures. Great. Research supports a more interactive approach to learning. Except their idea of student engagement and interaction solely focuses on extroversion: reading, writing, conversing, analyzing, actively listening, group work, sharing with the class, and more. And none of it has the options of being done alone. On top of this, they do not address disabilities and are only just starting to realize they need different content for multilingual learners.
Some students can actually read and learn and do not need to interact. Some students are anxious to interact. I've seen it. I've had a student stuttering just trying to talk in class to ask a question, and making her come to the board? Why? For what purpose? Said student was already doing well in class and she simply wrote everything out. I had multiple students who were combat veterans; one in particular who had a brain injury and needed a lot of repetition. Having a lot of approaches in a 50 minute class would have been overwhelming for him since he needed clear examples and lots of independent practice. He thrived in my office hours. Forcing this model will not help these students. While I think there are some good things about this versus just using a digital textbook, I take issue with the approach because it is still forcing students to all learn the same way. It's a different way of learning than using a textbook, but there is no room for flexibility.
Look, I know that it's impossible to teach a classroom of students in a way that gives each enough time and resources to perfectly meet their needs. I taught at a university for 8 years. I've tutored students in grades 3-12 for over a decade. This is not me bashing teachers, lecturers, or professors. I know they are simply limited to what math ed materials are on the market and what they write themselves. (Thinking of Dr. Bell who wrote his own book for Modern Algebra because he hated every book on the market.) I just get frustrated when everyone (publishers) tries to push new teaching styles and tools, saying "there are multiple approaches to suit multiple learners." If each student must go through and master each approach, how is that any better than saying they must all master this one approach?
I'm just a frustrated math lady. Also, this has reminded me of the time many years ago when I had an anon who would ask for math homework help in my inbox because they had no where else to go. That was also before we had DMing on tumblr. Thinking of you today, Stats Anon.
#math#math education#about me#math publishing#so many educators out there trying their best and the materials they have to work with are just not enough#the answer to this is probably increase funding for education

20 Best Marketing Ideas to Grow Your Small Business
1. Define Your Target Audience
Before you can start using digital marketing to grow your small business, you need to define your target audience.
A target audience is the specific segment of the market that you choose to make the focal point of your marketing efforts.
With a clearly defined audience, your business is able to craft more relevant content, messaging, and advertisements.
Without a target audience, your business will waste important resources attempting to market to people who are not interested in what you’re selling.
To define your target audience you need to:
Analyze the profile of your existing customers
Analyze the profile of your website visitors
Identify who can benefit from your product/service
Learn from the competition
Create primary and secondary targets
2. Adopt Mobile-First Website Design
A high-performing mobile site is essential to the success of your small business.
More than half of all web traffic now comes from mobile devices including almost 60% of all online searches.
Also, Google has clearly shown that it considers mobile-friendliness as a key part of ranking websites. Earlier this year the search engine switched to mobile-first indexing meaning that they now use the mobile version of all websites as the baseline when ranking websites.
Despite this, many businesses do not optimize their websites for mobile. This has created an opportunity for businesses that provide a mobile-friendly site to improve their search engine rankings while leaving a lasting impression on customers.
The most efficient way to make your website mobile-friendly is to use a responsive web design for your site.
This will enable all your web pages to automatically adapt to each user’s device so that your site looks great and loads quickly.
3. Establish Your Social Media Presence
Having a strong social media presence can help you grow your customer base quickly.
To be able to cut through the noise of all the brands vying for attention on social media, you need to know who your audience is so that you can design a profile and create content that is valuable to them.
It’s important to stay active and regularly engage with your audience to avoid people forgetting about you.
You’ll need to stay on top of trends and optimize your content to get as much exposure as possible.
There are plenty of tools to manage your social media accounts and you can also consider hiring a social media manager.
4. Get a Technical SEO Audit
There are many technical factors that impact search engine rankings.
A technical SEO audit is a process of analyzing these factors to determine the health of your website.
With a technical SEO audit, you can catch issues that may be negatively impacting your search engine rankings.
When conducting a technical SEO audit you should analyze the following:
Indexability
Site speed
Mobile-friendliness
Duplicate content
Broken links
Thin and low-value pages
There are plenty of tools online that you can use to run a quick technical audit of your site including SEMrush and SEOptimer.
5. Perform On-Going SEO Work
SEO is an ongoing process and requires consistent attention if you hope to rank high for important keywords and stay there.
Some of the ongoing SEO work your small business will need to perform includes:
Optimizing technical factors
Researching target keywords
Creating content for those keywords
Optimizing the on-page elements of your site to rank for those keywords
Gaining backlinks to increase page and domain authority
You can choose to hire in-house staff to perform these tasks or outsource the work to an SEO expert or agency.
6. Set up one or more Marketing Funnels
A marketing funnel is a process of breaking down the customer journey into different stages to be able to send each individual more relevant messages based on where they are in the decision-making process.
Businesses can define their own funnel stages but most usually use some variation of the following:
Awareness
Discovery
Consideration
Conversion
Setting up one or more funnels to get your audience to complete the desired action is a great way to make your business grow.
You want to start by defining the goal of each marketing campaign.
Is it to increase overall sales, sell more of a certain product, or generate more email leads?
Once you have determined your goals, you can focus on the specific audience you want to target in your funnel. You will then create unique content to target each different stage of the funnel.
For example, in a B2B sales funnel you may use an e-book during the awareness stage and a detailed case study during the consideration stage.
As people move through your funnel, you need to track the performance of your campaigns.
This will allow you to see what is working and what is not so you can make any necessary adjustments.
7. Create a Blog and Publish Helpful Content
Blogs are a great way to build a connection with your audience while bringing more traffic to your website.
By creating valuable content, you can also establish yourself as an authority in your industry.
To get started with your business blog you need to create a content marketing strategy. This will involve performing keyword research to find relevant ideas that your target audience is looking for in search engines.
Once you compile a list of keywords you can create topics for your blog posts and start producing content.
You’ll want to be sure to optimize your blogs for SEO by including the target keywords, and related keywords, as well as ensuring the piece is structured to maximize user engagement.
Look to create content for all stages of your marketing funnel so that you are able to provide value to all your readers.
8. Create Downloadable Resources
Creating free resources for your audience is a great way to provide value while strengthening the connection with your business.
The goal of providing downloadable resources is to have your audience exchange their email for the content.
This allows you to follow up with subscribers to provide them even more detail about your products or services.
There are different ways you can deliver your downloadable resources including:
A direct download link on your website
Automated email follow-ups containing a link to the resource or a downloadable attachment
A resource library page that is restricted and only available to subscribers
9. Grow an Email List
While it may be one of the oldest digital marketing strategies, email marketing remains one of the most cost-effective tactics while also providing the highest ROI potential.
Email marketing allows you to reach a relevant audience with highly personalized messages.
To take advantage of all the benefits of email marketing, you need to build your email list. For this, you will need to leverage your website to get users to provide you with their email addresses.
You can create landing pages in which you give away a valuable piece of content like an ebook or a checklist for free in exchange for emails.
Another effective way to gain subscribers is to add forms to your blog either on the sidebar or as an exit-intent popup.
10. Send a Newsletter
As your email list grows you want to continue to build relationships with subscribers by sending regular newsletters.
This will allow you to nurture new prospects, teaching them more about your business as well as connect with existing customers.
There are plenty of email marketing tools you can use to send newsletters to your audience.
These solutions allow you to schedule newsletters in advance and segment the recipients based on a wide range of criteria to ensure that you are sending highly-relevant messages
11.Create a Facebook Group for Your Business
Facebook groups are a great marketing tool for both attracting new customers and engaging with your previous buyers.
They serve as a place where those who are interested in your business come together to connect over their mutual love for your company.
You can use your Facebook groups to engage with your audience by answering their questions and giving them bonuses for being part of your community. This helps you increase brand awareness to be able to attract an even larger audience.
12. Develop an App for Android and iOS
Building your own mobile app can help your business expand its reach to attract a larger customer base.
Mobile apps are also highly engaging allowing you to build a better connection with your audience.
You can add unique functionality to your app by enabling customers to buy your products or it can simply be informational. Another effective marketing technique is to offer promotions to those who download and/or actively use your app.
13. Publish Web Stories
Web stories are a visually-rich form of content that can appear on Google and Google Discover on mobile devices. They will soon be available on desktop as well.
You create the stories on your own website and add the appropriate metadata to ensure they are eligible to appear on Google Search and Google Discover.
Web stories are a great way to generate awareness for your business as they appear right at the top of search results.
You want to make sure that your web story pages are mobile-friendly and that Google Search has indexed them.
14. Use Facebook Ads
It goes without saying that advertisements are one of the most common suggestions when learning how to make your business grow.
Advertising allows you to get your business right in front of people most interested in your products.
Facebook is a great platform for advertising as it has an incredible amount of data for each of its users.
This allows you to craft highly targeted campaigns that yield better results.
You want to start by experimenting with different ad formats. After your campaigns run for a while you should examine their performance to see which ads were the most effective.
You’ll also want to set up retargeting campaigns to reach out to your previous customers as well as people who interacted with your business but didn’t buy.
If you are inexperienced with advertising, you can outsource the work to experts. They will be able to determine the best strategy and create the ad copy and images needed to drive results.
15. Use Google and Bing Ads
Google and Bing are other useful advertising mediums as you are able to target a relevant audience at scale.
The mechanics of running ad campaigns on Google or Bing is slightly different than that of Facebook.
You’ll want to begin your campaigns by researching the related keywords your potential customers are searching for.
This will allow you to include these terms in your campaigns so that your ads appear in front of the right people.
Retargeting is also important with Google and Bings ads as it allows you to reconnect with those that have previously interacted with your business.
16. Host a Webinar
If you are looking for a more interactive way to engage with your audience while teaching them about your products or services, webinars are a solid choice.
Webinars provide great value and allow you to interact with hundreds of people anywhere in the world at the same time.
They also serve as an effective lead generation tool as individuals will need to register to gain access to the event.
You can expand the reach of your webinars even further by inviting guest contributors and leveraging their audiences.
17. Start a YouTube Channel
You can use the power of video to grow your small business by creating a Youtube channel.
This will allow you to upload demos of your products to highlight the benefits to users.
You can also create free educational content to provide value to your audience and drive them to your site to generate leads and sales.
18. Offer Free Courses
Offering free online courses is a great way to educate potential customers about your product and other related topics.
With a better understanding of how your products work and the benefits they provide, people will be more likely to buy from your business.
This will also enable customers to use your products more efficiently, leading to better customer satisfaction and a better reputation for your business.
19. Partner With Other Companies
Partnering with other companies can help you leverage their audience and brand awareness to grow your business.
You could host a joint event like a webinar, or create a joint piece of content for shared lead generation.
You can also actively promote each other’s businesses to your customer base and offer a discount for any customers you refer.
When forming strategic partnerships you’ll want to research to find companies that have an audience with similar interests but are not direct competitors.
20. Add Limited Time Offers and Sales
One of the most tried and true marketing ideas for small businesses is to run limited-time promotions.
Time-bound offers, and sales create a sense of urgency, increasing the likelihood that people complete a purchase.
You can promote your limited-time offers on your website, social media profiles, or through advertisements.

Cutting Through The Digital Noise: SEO’s Impact On Butcher Shop Visibility
In an era where digital presence plays a pivotal role in business success, traditional brick-and-mortar establishments like butcher shops are finding new avenues to connect with customers online. Amidst the vast array of online options, the challenge for butcher shops lies in standing out in the digital landscape. This is where the prowess of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) becomes instrumental in enhancing visibility and attracting customers to these local culinary hubs.
The Significance of SEO for Butcher Shops Butcher shops hold a unique place in the culinary world, offering quality meats and personalized services. However, without a robust online presence, their potential to reach a wider audience may be limited. SEO offers a strategic means to ensure these establishments are not lost in the digital noise but rather are prominently showcased to those seeking high-quality meat products and personalized service.
Crafting an SEO Strategy
Keyword Optimization: Understanding the phrases and terms potential customers use when seeking butcher shops is crucial. Incorporating these keywords thoughtfully into website content, blog posts, and social media helps improve search engine rankings and visibility.
Local SEO: Targeting local audiences by optimizing for location-based keywords is paramount for butcher shops. Utilizing tools like Google My Business, local directories, and location-specific content helps in attracting nearby customers searching for meat providers.
Content Creation: Generating valuable content around recipes, cooking tips, meat selection guides, and the story behind the butcher shop can engage customers. Blogs, videos, and downloadable resources showcasing expertise can attract visitors and establish trust.
Mobile Optimization: Ensuring a mobile-friendly website is essential, given the prevalence of mobile searches. Search engines favor mobile-responsive sites, impacting rankings and user experience.
Online Reviews and Testimonials: Encouraging satisfied customers to leave reviews on various platforms aids in building trust. Positive reviews contribute significantly to SEO rankings and enhance credibility. Impact on Butcher Shop Visibility
Enhanced Visibility: A robust SEO strategy helps butcher shops rank higher in search results, making them more visible to potential customers seeking quality meat products.
Establishing Trust and Credibility: Consistently appearing in top search results conveys professionalism and expertise, fostering trust among potential customers.
Increased Foot Traffic and Sales: Informative and engaging content not only attracts visitors but also encourages them to visit the shop, potentially leading to increased foot traffic and sales. Adapting in a Dynamic Market The digital landscape evolves rapidly, with search engine algorithms frequently changing. Butcher shops must stay updated with the latest SEO trends and shifts in user behavior to adapt their strategies for sustained success.
In the realm of culinary delights, SEO serves as a powerful tool for butcher shops to cut through the digital noise and connect with customers seeking quality meat products and personalized service.
By leveraging SEO strategies tailored to their unique offerings, butcher shops can ensure their online presence not only attracts but also engages and satisfies the cravings of individuals seeking high-quality meats.
Ultimately, the impact of SEO on butcher shop visibility allows these local culinary gems to flourish amidst the diverse array of options available in the digital sphere.

Here are ten obscure but highly effective strategies, complete with success rates and helpful tools, all implementable within a budget of $5000.
1. Embrace Social Media Advertising
Social media advertising has tremendous reach. With as little as $5 a day, you can reach over 1,000 people on Facebook alone. Also, you could expect to pay anywhere from $0.50 to $2.00 per action (click, retweet, like, follow, or “boost”) for a Twitter campaign. Nextdoor, the neighborhood-focused social networking app, presents a unique opportunity for brands seeking to target consumers on a hyper-local scale. As with all social media advertising, the cost to reach 1,000 people (often referred to as CPM) could vary significantly depending on these factors. CPM is your cost per mile. It measures your rate per 1,000 impressions. It’s best to start small, monitor your campaign closely, and adjust as needed to optimize your budget. Tools like Hootsuite allow you to manage and analyze your campaigns across multiple platforms.

9 MARKETING CHALLENGES AND HOW TO OVERCOME THEM
Marketing can be complicated. Whether you’re just starting out or have been in the game for years, the reality is that marketing strategies come and go and continually change. In a time when businesses are trying to utilize every single channel available to acquire new customers — from social media to paid ads to content marketing — it can be hard to know how to fit it all into your daily work and still maintain a quality level of service for your current customers. Big marketing challenges are what all businesses face at one point or another. But with the right tools and strategies, you can turn a problem into an opportunity. In this article, we’ll cover some of the top marketing challenges business owners face today and how you can successfully overcome them.
LEAD GENERATION
According to a survey by Inbound, the main challenge for modern marketers is generating traffic and leads. The increasing competition exacerbates this situation even more. It’s worth considering the huge variety of platforms for promoting goods and services, which can make it really difficult to choose the right direction and concentrate efforts on it.
What should you do?
Create high-quality and in-demand content for your target audience. Surveys show that more than 40% of consumers crave video content, while only 20% prefer to read blogs. Do all marketers know what kind of content their customers want? Do they create truly engaging content? If you’re able to create content that sparks user interest, it’s important to promote it effectively so that users notice it. Nowadays, due to the abundance of content on the internet, it’s not easy to compete for consumers’ attention, but if you keep up with trends and experiment with formats, you’ll succeed as a marketer.
ACHIEVING ROMI
Marketing ROI or return-on-marketing-investment (ROMI) is a sub-metric of ROI that measures the efficiency of a marketing campaign for the purpose of assisting better decision-making for future investments.
The issue of the cost-effectiveness of marketing and promotional expenses has become increasingly important in recent years, as evidenced by survey data. Tracking and ensuring ROMI can be an even more challenging task if there is a lack of in-depth analysis of the effectiveness of each channel and each marketing activity, as well as a lack of information sharing between different departments within a company.
After all, achieving ROMI largely depends on directing resources towards the most conversion-focused channels, which is impossible without analyzing data and metrics.
What should be done?
Firstly, it is important to improve the interaction between the marketing and sales departments. Implementing software such as CRM systems to increase sales and analyze data can help identify weaknesses and strengths in business processes and find areas for growth. Tracking traffic sources and lead conversions into sales provides a clear understanding of whether your marketing is working or not, and whether budgets are being spent correctly.
According to surveys of marketers, the most effective strategy is inbound marketing in combination with SLA (Service Level Agreement) (the company’s approach to organizing IT processes).
Recall that inbound marketing includes SEO, social media branding, blogging and various internet platforms, podcasts, videos, and other types of content marketing. The inbound marketing strategy is based on the need to generate interest among consumers.
BUDGET SIZE
Another challenge is justifying the expense on marketing promotion, which marketers are forced to defend. This is especially relevant for small companies.
How to solve it?
Measure ROMI. Analyze the effectiveness of advertising channels. The key to ensuring sufficient expenditure on promotion is measuring ROMI. Marketers surveyed cite measuring ROMI as the key to ensuring sufficient expenditure on promotion. On average, specialists who work with measuring the effectiveness of marketing investments have a budget that is 180% higher.
IM4U Marketing Agency was approached by a client who, with a fairly large marketing budget, had almost no results. We began by reviewing the client’s business goals and current marketing budget. Then we identified areas where the client could optimize their budget by reallocating funds or using more cost-effective marketing channels. Finally, IM4U Marketing Agency created a customized plan that maximized the client’s budget to achieve their desired outcomes while minimizing costs. We were continuously monitoring the campaign’s performance and adjusted the plan as needed to ensure the client gets the most out of their marketing budget.
INCREASING WEBSITE EFFECTIVENESS
Another problem is creating a truly effective website that not only attracts visitors, but also converts them into customers and achieves financial goals. The problems that marketers solve in this process can be quite diverse, such as how to create and optimize content or how to develop an emotionally engaging design.
What is the solution?
It is important to optimize the site’s loading speed and ensure its adaptability to mobile platforms. If your problems are due to a lack of necessary specialists and finances, know that there are many marketers like you. This problem is particularly common in small firms. Hire a freelancer or consult a small, responsible agency. Marketing channel integration platforms can also help simplify a range of website improvement tasks.
CHOOSING TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS
Reviews, case studies, and reports can help marketers choose suitable software and platforms to implement their daily tasks. However, these reviews are often conflicting, which can make the choice more difficult.
What can be done?
Seek advice from friends, colleagues, and professionals, and closely examine all video reviews and case studies on working with various tools. The trial period for many services allows for a deeper understanding of the product and how it can solve your specific problems – do not overlook this opportunity.
Marketing automation using online platforms is designed to simplify your work. The survey showed that about 40% of marketers are already using more than 2 services and will continue to do so in the future.
THE PROBLEM OF CONTENT TARGETING
A crucial aspect of marketing is precise targeting. Marketers know that by relying on detailed buyer personas, they can conduct successful advertising campaigns with high conversion rates. Study your target audience as well to achieve success in your marketing campaigns.
More information in our article “How to improve your PPC Ads – 8 advice you didn’t know”.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF AI
Certainly, the development of AI represents a significant challenge for marketers today. On the one hand, AI tools, such as ChatGPT, Midjourney, Jasper can offer great benefits, such as increased efficiency, more accurate data analysis, and faster decision-making. On the other hand, integrating AI into existing marketing processes and workflows can be a complex task that requires significant planning and preparation.
How to overcome?
To overcome this challenge, marketers need to invest in training and education to ensure that they have the skills and knowledge necessary to use AI effectively. Additionally, marketers need to work closely with IT and data teams to develop new systems and processes that can integrate AI tools into existing workflows. Finally, marketers need to be mindful of the ethical implications of using AI in their work and ensure that they are using these tools in ways that are transparent, ethical, and respectful of customer privacy. With the right approach, however, AI can be a powerful tool that helps marketers to achieve their goals more efficiently and effectively.
RECRUITING TALENTED SPECIALISTS
Demand for technically advanced and creative marketers in the job market today exceeds supply like never before. Talented specialists are needed by everyone, and searching for the right fit for your company can take months, while the work needs to be done now.
How to solve?
Create attractive conditions, taking into account that maintaining a balance between professional and personal lives is important for 69% of job seekers, while 41% are focused on career progress.
Also, growing specialists within your own company can help you solve this problem. Training and mentoring by experienced professionals can promote the development of diverse skills in key employees, to apply them in your work. This takes time and resources, so choose and train the most capable and eager ones.
FALSE PROMISES NEGATIVELY AFFECT BRAND ATTRACTIVENESS
Companies like Allstate Insurance and Avis Car Rental have set themselves on the path to inevitable failure by using enticing slogans and appeals. Meanwhile, their services never lived up to their grand promises. While Allstate promises “You’re in good hands with Allstate”, their customers are far from convinced. On the ConsumerAffairs website (which publishes consumer ratings for various companies), this insurance company has a rating of 3.7 out of 5. Avis’ slogan “We try harder” is also far from the truth, with a rating of 3.2 out of 5.
How to solve?
Perhaps a clever slogan can serve as a means of attracting new customers to your store or website, but it’s important to remember that customers need concrete actions, not pretty words. If a visitor can’t find what you promised them, all your efforts will go to waste. So let’s only make promises that we can keep in order to effectively manage consumer expectations and loyalty.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, marketing is a constantly evolving field, and the challenges faced by marketers are diverse and complex. However, with the right strategies and techniques, these challenges can be overcome. Brands need to focus on building a strong online presence, creating meaningful and authentic connections with customers, leveraging data and technology to gain insights and drive decision-making, and nurturing talent within their organization. By keeping up with industry trends and being adaptable, marketers can succeed in navigating the ever-changing marketing landscape and achieving their business goals.
