Adwords vs SEO – What is right for you?

Adwords Adwords is also known as PPC i.e. Pay Per Click. Adwords is a product of Google mainly to advertise via its search engine Google. In case someone is looking primarily for a promotional activity looking to drive traffic to their website, create a buzz around a launch and is looking for quick results, Adwords is the way to go. One can tweak their ads as per their requirement to reach a perfectly targeted audience as per their needs for whom the ads may be relevant. A PPC ad solution like Google Ads doesn’t have the same results as SEO, and won’t improve your organic search rankings. Adwords can also be a great way to find the most relevant and appropriate keywords for SEO. But, because of its flexibility, Google Ads can help businesses of every size grab attention from people online in the moments that matter – that is, the exact moment they’re searching for a business like yours. SEO Search Engine Optimization or SEO in the simplest of terms means to get a select set of keywords for a respective website and bring the search results of those keywords on page one. In order to achieve that, one needs to make sure that the website is search engine friendly. Using the tools via Adwords and adding the keywords suggested these keywords can also be added to our overall SEO activity. A search engine friendly website can be ‘read’ easily by search engines and used with ease by users. The website needs to have an SSL certificate and it needs to be mobile responsive as well. Content marketing will help one create the right content, SEO will help one optimize content for search engines and get more organic traffic and social media will promote one’s SEO optimized content to a wider audience. Conclusion All in all to sum it up it is important to note that SEO is a long term activity and one needs to be patient while initiating the same. In case one is looking for short term results only for visibility and a quick duration an SEM activity will be more beneficial. Adwords and SEO are not competitors but they are two powerful tools available at one’s disposal. One can use Adwords when one wants traffic fast but one needs SEO for the long term and sustainable online success.

How to define your Brand Personality

What is a brand personality? Each human is said to have a certain type of personality, the same applies to a brand when the brand is given such characteristics which can be defined as the personality of that brand. A brand personality is something that consumers can relate to and connect with the brand. The brand through its communication and tone tends to show its personality thus trying to appeal its audience. Defining the Vision: The Vision of a Brand lies at the intersection of ‘What Brands want to be’ and ‘What Audiences Seek’. It is first necessary to define the ‘Viable Business Idea’ that straddles both these areas. From this ‘Viable Business Idea’ will emanate the ‘Tenable Brand Claim’, which becomes the foundation of the Brand Vision. Once we have the Brand Vision defined, we need to validate the same into a Brand Proposition.  To correctly answer this question, we need to answer related questions like: Where is the brand in terms of the marketing landscape?Why is the brand in that position in the landscape (e.g. Legacy or incumbent issues)The most essential question that begs answering at this stage is ‘Who is the brand?’Where does the brand want to go given the challenges it has?How will I get there? – The road map of how the marketing strategy will deliver the set objectivesAm I getting there? – The metrics of evaluation that will be applied as per the strategy to ensure that the outcomes can be calibrated and improved in the areas it falls short in.  Examples of Brand Personalities In order to reach and target the right audience and convert them into being customers it extremely important to relate to the audience. It is quite common for a customer to purchase from a brand that is similar to a personality of their own. Excitement: carefree, spirited and youthfulSincerity: kindness, caring and an outlook towards family and societyRuggedness: adventurous, tough, outdoorsy, and athleticCompetence: success, elegance, shown leadershipSophistication: elegant, prestigious and subtle  A company’s brand personality helps in creating an emotional connection with its desired segment with a view to get the audience to act upon that and in return benefit the firm. Hence, it is extremely important to hone the brand personality and stick to it in order to reach and relate to the audience in the best way possible.
