SEO Mentor

Every businessperson wants to be able to get a “leg up” on the competition. This has been the case for thousands of years and will be the case in the future. Therefore, why wouldn’t every business strive to make the most of all the potential resources at hand? A prudent person handles the operation of his or her business by benefiting from various assets. This is why it is important to start looking for a questionnaire example to implement that will help your business survey its customers.

Incorporating a survey template is a very smart move for any business. The process is easier than one can imagine. Begin by exploring a questionnaire example or two. Having customer satisfaction survey questions on hand means that you will instantly begin gaining access to a wealth of information about how your customers perceive your business. Few pieces of information are in fact quite that valuable or interesting to a business. Once you have gotten hold of a good questionnaire example, you can use it to model your businesses’ own questionnaire.

Once customer feedback information begins flowing in your direction, you will be able to access what changes need to occur and why. The end result may even be an increase in revenue!

How does Social Proof affect your business?

If you don’t know the answer to the question above you may be missing out on tons of extra revenue each and every day.

Social Proof is not a new concept but it is definitely overlooked by businesses and entrepreneurs. I want to share with you a video that was recently put out by Shopper Approved with some eye opening statistics on how Social Proof can help with consumer loyalty and trust.

Now if that video doesn’t make you want to gather customer feedback then I don’t know what will.

We all know the importance of having a happy customer, but what are we doing to share that data we gather from happy customers. Whether you like it or not, your website visitors are actively looking for ratings and reviews about your company, products and services online before they buy. And with Social Media it is even easier today for your customers and visitors to instantly share information about you.

That is why Shopper Approved is so powerful. Taking Social Proof to the next level.

It is actually here. Some might be saying, “It is About Time.” Monday December 7th, 2009 Google rolled out real-time search results. Although it is live some of us may not see it yet depending on your location.

Here is a pretty cool video that Google put together on the new Real Time Search:

To get the full story from Google read their blog post “Relevance meets the real-time web“

At the blog they stated:

“Our real-time search enables you to discover breaking news the moment it’s happening, even if it’s not the popular news of the day, and even if you didn’t know about it beforehand….Click on “Latest results” or select “Latest” from the search options menu to view a full page of live tweets, blogs, news and other web content scrolling right on Google. You can also filter your results to see only “Updates” from micro-blogs like Twitter, FriendFeed, Jaiku and others. Latest results and the new search options are also designed for iPhone and Android devices when you need them on the go, be it a quick glance at changing information like ski conditions or opening night chatter about a new movie — right when you’re in line to buy tickets.”

So Google Social Search is the big topic again lately because of their recent blog post Introducing Google Social Search: I finally found my friend’s New York blog!

Here is what they had to say about their new experiment:

“Your friends and contacts are a key part of your life online. Most people on the web today make social connections and publish web content in many different ways, including blogs, status updates and tweets. This translates to a public social web of content that has special relevance to each person. Unfortunately, that information isn’t always very easy to find in one simple place. That’s why today we’re rolling out a new experiment on Google Labs called Google Social Search that helps you find more relevant public content from your broader social circle. It should be available for everyone to try by the end of the day, so be sure to check back.”

So the question is, Is Google Search On or Off the Mark?

I think they are making good strides but it seems slow. I talked to my good friend Dave Harry about Google Social Search and this is what he had to say:

“I think it’s interesting… but still has a ways to go… but certainly can’t be ignored as far as what they’re looking to do. I think Google Wave would work well with it also…soooo… might be tied together…”
