Questions Business Owners Ask During Internet Marketing Consultations (And How We Answer at Digital Marketing Concepts)
1. What exactly is internet marketing, and how can it help my business?
Answer: Internet marketing involves promoting your business online using SEO, paid ads, email, social media, and content. It helps increase your visibility, attract leads, and boost revenue by targeting customers where they spend their time—online.
2. How long will it take to see results from SEO?
Answer: SEO is a long-term strategy. You may start seeing improvements in 3–6 months, but significant results typically appear around the 6–12 month mark. It depends on your industry, competition, and website history.
3. Should I focus on SEO, PPC, or both?
Answer: Ideally, both. SEO builds long-term visibility, while PPC (pay-per-click) drives instant traffic. We often use PPC to generate immediate leads while SEO ramps up for sustainable growth.
4. How do you determine the right keywords for my business?
Answer: We use professional tools like Semrush, Google Keyword Planner, and Ahrefs to analyze search volume, competition, and buyer intent. We focus on keywords that align with your services, location, and customer journey.
5. How much should I budget for internet marketing?
Answer: Budgets vary based on goals, industry, and competition. As a rule of thumb, small businesses often invest 5–10% of their revenue in marketing. We offer scalable packages based on your needs.
6. What platforms should I be advertising on?
Answer: We recommend starting with Google Ads and Facebook/Instagram. For B2B businesses, LinkedIn may be ideal. Platform selection depends on your target audience and goals.
7. How will I know if the marketing is working?
Answer: We provide detailed monthly reports showing your traffic, rankings, leads, conversions, ad performance, and ROI. You’ll always know where your money is going and how it’s performing.
