20% of Local Searches Now Start Here

New research shows that map platforms have become key search engines for local businesses. One in five consumers now searches directly in map apps instead of traditional search engines. BrightLocal’s Consumer Search Behavior study found that Google, Apple, and Bing Maps make up 20% of all local searches. This is a big part of search traffic that many marketers might be missing in their local SEO plans. The Rise of Map-First Search Behavior The research found that 15% of consumers use Google Maps as their first choice for local searches. This makes it the second most popular platform after Google Search (45%). The study reads: “Another significant finding is the prominence of Google Maps in local search. 15% of consumers said they would use Google Maps as their first port of call, meaning t...

Facebook Retargeting Isn’t Dead. It Just Needs a Jump Start

Here at Customers.ai, we like to say our platform helps you remarket like it’s 2019 again. The glory days of remarketing, when audiences were large, costs were small, and the Facebook ad pixel could identify ~50% of website visitors. When remarketing was the pinnacle of Facebook ads and even a dollar per day could garner you results.  Of course, we all know what happened – iOS 14 rolled out and remarketing became well, not so great. Then iOS 17 rolled out, Click IDs and cross-channel tracking were minimized, and our already shrinking audiences and making them even smaller.  Where does that bring us now? Sadly, there’s an 84% drop in efficiency and you’re lucky if the ad pixel catches 7% of site traffic today. Advertisers have moved their budgets elsewhere and there is ...

How to start an online store: 7 steps to success

By Kaleigh Moore September 19, 2023 Starting an online store has never been so easy. That may be why there are 26 million of them out there. People around the world have taken modern digital platforms like Etsy and Amazon and turned them into businesses they can run from the comfort of their homes. Yet even with all of the advantages possible in the digital age, building a digital store can get tricky.Why? Building an online store can be overwhelming, especially if you don’t have a lot of experience.  For example, should you build your own website, or “rent” a platform like Amazon? Or both? And how should you build your customer list once the store’s up and running? The further down the rabbit hole you go, the more questions there are. Maybe you haven’t built a digit...

Starting Local SEO with Nothing: 30 Ways to Start Cold and Succeed

Like my post? Please share! Are you starting your local SEO work at Customer #0, with few or no connections, few or no resources, and not much certainty as to where to begin?  Working on local SEO for this new business may feel like you just moved to a foreign land with only the clothes on your back.  You may not even speak the lingo.  You’re starting with your wits, work ethic, presumably a computer somewhere in the trunk, and not much else.  In other words, you’re starting with zilch.  Cold-start SEO (as I call it) is a mighty different thing from doing SEO for a company that’s been around for a while, has a customer base, maybe has a war chest, and probably has other resources you don’t.  This may sound like a stretch now, but the local search results still are a place where it doesn’t...

Elon Musk Says that Twitter Will Start Sharing Revenue with Creators for Ads in Replies

The next stage of Twitter’s creator monetization push is coming, though there are some pretty significant considerations to factor into the latest revenue share element outlined by Twitter chief Elon Musk. In a few weeks, X/Twitter will start paying creators for ads served in their replies. First block payment totals $5M.Note, the creator must be verified and only ads served to verified users count.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 9, 2023 As explained by Musk, very soon, Twitter will begin sharing revenue with creators for ads shown in their tweet replies. Which adds another pathway for people to make money from their Twitter presence, though the actual detail in this case is important. First off, as Musk notes, only Twitter Blue subscribers (or those gifted verification) will be eligible for...

Stop Guessing and Start Testing: Improve Your Emails with A/B Split Testing

By Kaleigh Moore May 16, 2023 In a world where people are bombarded with countless emails on a regular basis, it’s more important than ever to craft emails with purpose. In 2022, over 333 billion emails were sent and that figure is expected to rise to a staggering 376 billion by 2025.These days it’s not enough to assume you know what type of email your audience will want to open — let alone read through it entirely. Creating great emails requires a lot of hard work, researching, and strategizing. The best emails are crafted not only with goals in mind, but also with the target audience at the forefront. So how can you be sure which email will be more successful than others? You’re not the first person to ask that question. What if there was a way to be sure that o...

Start an email list: A guide to getting your first 100 subscribers

By Kaleigh Moore April 13, 2023 A thousand subscribers. It’s a heck of a goal. We’ve even outlined a plan to get to a thousand subscribers before. But a round number like a thousand can also be overwhelming. What if you only have 50 combined followers on Twitter and LinkedIn? What if you’re having enough trouble just getting started with this whole newsletter thing?Then it will help if we can break it down even more. The most important subscribers you’ll ever have, after all, are your first ones. They’re the subscribers that gush about your newsletter, tell their friends, and represent the community that new subscribers can join. Let’s tackle the smallest (and most important) step in your newsletter community journey: how to start an email list that attracts your first 100 su...

How to Start Testing Your Website with a Screen Reader

There’s no doubt as to the importance of building accessible websites. It’s a constant topic of discussion in the web design community. And, in my opinion, most designers want to get it right. Accessibility impacts all of us in one way or another. Whether it’s the particular words used in a blog post or the ability to navigate from page to page – it matters. But if you’re not someone who relies on assistive technology like a screen reader, there can be a disconnect. It’s all too easy to overlook how a given feature affects users. That’s likely because we haven’t tested it in that context. I admit that I’ve struggled in this area. And I’m betting that there are plenty of other designers who have as well. My privilege as a sighted user who navigates via a mouse hasn’t always led me to consid...
