Digital marketing encompasses all online marketing efforts to promote products or services, utilizing channels like social media, email, search engines, and websites to reach and engage with target audiences, driving brand awareness, traffic, and conversions.
Many website owners are disappointed to find that much of their website traffic is wasted.
Your website visitors don't become leads and your leads, such as there are some, don't become customers.

An About Page isn't what we mean by your website story. No! what we mean by story is the narrative that you use to engage potential clients into a meaningful relationship with your business.
Telling the right story is essential to converting more visitors into customers.
What is SEO? – this is no longer a frequently asked question. One should rather be asking “why is SEO important for my business?”.
The term SEO has, in fact, become a familiar and widely used acronym used in both formal and casual conversations which seldom requires an explanation. More importantly, it has also become easily the single most important key to the success of any business.
Your website search engine ranking determines the number of sales leads you will receive via your website. The higher your rankings, the higher the frequency of sales leads you will receive. For ecommerce websites, your search engine ranking directly affects your sales.
But in any competitive industry, starting online marketing can be a very daunting task.
Here's how you do it.
Businesses are preparing for a tough 2016.
With a deflationary economy, struggling consumers and business resource constraints, businesses should place more emphasis on cost-cutting strategies as well as saving for business priorities.
But, simply cost saving does not help the business. Unless business also grow at the same time, they will fail!
If your website designer included some form of website analytics for you in the website design then you should be able to see how many people are visiting your website.
Depending on the efforts you are making for the website marketing, publishing blogs, running advertisements etc., you will see increased contact requests and increased sales as a result of increased website traffic.
I remember using a computer as a child, I remember when the internet was for the privileged and Windows 98 was in its prime.
Connecting your computer to the modem entailed having to disconnect from your phone line after which you were forced to sit through that awful fax modem jingle for however long it would take.
Once connected the test of patience began with page loading times giving you roughly enough time to take a slow walk to the kitchen, pop the kettle on, make tea and consider your various lunch options.
What use is your website without the right visitors?
Many website owners and developers lack the skills to optimise the content for websites, neglecting the most important aspect of website design and digital marketing.
And your website doesn't get the traffic it should.
Keywords are the cornerstone of web page content optimisation and as simple as this may seem, it is a task that demands a scientific approach.
Excellent website designers are expensive, and for good reason when you are paying for expertise that is in very short supply in South Africa.
And depending on a website designer is also risky especially in an industry where career mobility is so high.
It makes sense therefore to make use of website design templates and website design software that allows you to create great custom design websites dependably and affordably.
