Chicago SEO: Google Image Search Enhanced

Chicago SEO & Google SEO Marketing

Recently, Google launched a new search feature called 'Search by Image'. While experimenting with the feature, Integraphix defines 3 places where Google's search by image has a real advantage over traditional ways to find link building opportunities.

What is Search by Image? You can use images (either the url or uploaded) as your search term! The goal of Search by Image is to point you at websites that are related to that image. You can find more at the Google Blog.

Get Background on Industry Influencers
As we've often discussed, pinpointing the mass internet user's interests using them to creative connections, is an amazing way to get in influential people and businesses radar. If you do this correctly, using Twitter, Facebook or SEO Marketing, this can produce exposure and links to your website.

Not surprisingly, the most successful SEO consultants, are also the best at personal online branding. We've written a post or two about making your brand more consistent online and offline. Being very consistent in your use of logos in blogging websites, social media and in your marketing materials is extremely important.

When testing the new Google features using a our logo, I found an enormous amount of image results attached to comments and similar images (Dontcha love how BMW pops in there?).

This also gave us a view of all the blogs we've commented on in the past few months. If used on a competitor, it could give you a distinct advantage because you can filter results by simply using their logo. 

Identifying Link Building Opportunities

Search for Popular Guest Posters! In the SEO community, Ann Smarty is THE person that is most synonymous with guest posting on blogs. Not simply because her over her website, myblogguest.com, but because she's a prolific guest poster in her own right. Regardless of this, she's very good at maintaining her personal brand. So using Google Search by Image, you can search her profile image to look for guest posting opportunities, and link building opportunities on top of that.

Find Coverage That Didn't Result in a Link

Another great technique to find PR opportunities is to mine for stock CEO photos and participation that didn't result in a link for that company. Search branded logos and photos to find great pages where companies and employees are getting spotlighted.

Try it with any Fortune 500 Company and you'll find significant RP presence that can result in you getting a backlink.
Another way you can use Search By Image is to mine for press coverage and participation in offline activities that didn't result in a link. Searching by brand logos and "stock" CEO photos are a great way to find pages where a company or employee is getting highlighted.

SEO Firm: Don't Ask Sites for Links!

SEO Company in Chicago

Yep. That's what I said. Don't ask websites for links! It's bad PR. What you need to do is find people and connect. Network! Since many SEOs are trained in the traditional practice of link building, we typically go through a process somewhat like this.

1. Find a relevant website.

2. Search for contact information.

3. Get in touch and make a trade.

If you've done this before...you know this type of Chicago Internet Marketing sucks. Conversion rates are typically very low, and the Return on your Investment is there, but it is a painfully long road to travel. But there is a much better way.

Find human beings! 

What a concept! They can be bloggers, journalists, forum participants, social networkers, people in the media, or perhaps you're simply well connected already! (Lucky you!)

Follow them

No not like a stalker. Follow their internet contributions: Twitter, Facebook, their blog, Forum conversations, emails, etc. Don't ask for anything.

Make yourself useful to them

Offer them great content, give them a referral, build trust.

Make them aware of this 'thing' you have for them

Talk about it on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, email, blog comments, or whatever way you wish to contact them.

There are huge advantages to building connections and links this way because it's coming from a trusted source and not from random email spam. People also like people. People who interact with them specifically. Getting an email from info@somerandomsite.com isn't likely to reap any rewards.

Credibility is huge here. Not only are you building credibility for yourself, but you're doing it for your clients as well. You've got greater brand awareness, attention from influential people, social sharing and more! And the best part? It's future proof. No matter what signals search engines measure, your work will carry value. If Facebook sharing or Tweeting takes over the internet, it won't be a problem, because you're already getting your links shared.

Good luck out there! We're rooting for you here at Integraphix. The process can be longer, but it will reduce the painful awkwardness on both sides of the fence. If you've got a comment, (a useful one) let us know by adding your name below!

5 Avoidable Mistakes in Press Release Writing

Search Engine Marketing Firm




Writing press releases for a Social Media, SEO, or Marketing campaign requires a bit of thought and a lot of preparation. Without the fundamentals, your release will end up in the trash bin of your recipient's email. A well written press release is a very valuable asset to any company and the success of the product or service can be dependant on it. Take a look at these steps to easily avoid getting trashed, and to become more successful at pushing your products or clients.

1. Not doing your research. Spend some time to actually read other press releases to see how they're worded, how they're put together, and mimic that. Additionally, don't only send your press releases to those in your niche: send them to other successful submission sites as well.

2. Don't assume your reader knows what you're talking about. If they have no clue about your product and you don't spell it out, why are they going to spread the word about your product? They're not. The goal is to get your PR reader to generate buzz to their audience or outlet. Let them know how!

3. Do NOT talk down to your readers. Don't be condescending. Period.

4. Adding too much 'fluff'. A press release is not a blog post. It is not an article. It is not a journal to get flowery with. It is a press release. Keep the fluff to a minimum and focus strictly on the details. Be informative and tell your reader what they need to know!

5. Boring subject lines. Chances are, most emails you delete are the type of subject line you DONT want to be putting on your press release. Be creative, and non-spammy. The difference between success and failure is a fine line. The subject line.

Avoid these mistakes and you'll have a much higher success rate across the board. Emails will be opened and media outlets will write or speak about your content. Above all else, PROOF READ.

Until next time.
