How to Create Your 5 Year Business Credit and Funding Blueprint

What’s YOUR Business Credit and Funding Blueprint?

So it should be obvious – when considering business credit and funding, you need a blueprint. Because traveling without a map won’t get you anywhere.

So, where do you see your business in five years or more?

  • Do you double your revenue?
  • Open a new office?
  • Replace your equipment?
  • Hire more people?
  • Retire and pass your business along to a family member or sell the company?
  • Or something else?

Your Business Plans and Future

All of these scenarios require funding! Even going concerns with stable, steady revenue can experience emergencies, or need to seize a business opportunity quickly and before they have the funds. All businesses can use business credit to achieve their aims – whatever they are

Instead of year by year, let’s go phase by phase since some of these will overlap in time.

But even if you’ve already been there, done that, checking out the earlier phases could help you see if you missed anything. And if you’re just starting out, checking out the later phases could show you your business’s future so you can be ready.

Phase 1: Setup and Launch

You’re at the starting line and the race official has just yelled, “Go!”

Setting up a business is a task with a lot of moving parts. It’s a lot more than just hanging out a shingle. The way your business is set up can directly affect the ability of your business to succeed

This first phase covers your first six to twelve months of existence.

Fundability

Fundability is a business’s ability to get funding. A lot of the power to get business money is in your hands. A business starts with no credit profile. As a result, what’s on an application is all that’s reviewed for approvals. So your application must be very strong. Nearly half of all companies fail in their first 5 years, and about 2/3 in the first 10. As a result, new businesses don’t seem fundable to lenders. You can change that by building for fundability from the very start.

Business Name

Check with your Secretary of State –a business name may have to be unique. Make sure your SOS has all the necessary information for your company, and it’s up to date and correct. Make sure that you are in good standing with them and that your entity is active. You will have to file annual reports and pay an annual fee to stay active. Keep the name of a high-risk or restricted industry out of your business name. Your business can be Rachel’s rather than Rachel’s Gas Station. There is nothing underhanded about this – it is completely above board and honest

A common reason for loan and credit card application denials is the lender can’t easily locate a business offline or online. So make it painfully easy for lenders and credit providers to find your business. Make sure the business name is exactly the same on corporation papers, licenses, utility statements, and bank statements. Also make sure the business name and all other information is the same on every online listing you can find.

Business Address

This must be a real brick and mortar building, a deliverable physical address. This can never be a UPS box or a PO Box. Some lenders will not approve and fund unless this criterion is met

A virtual address can also be a good idea if you need to hold a meeting or an interview, and it’s a lot more professional than doing this at your kitchen table. We like Regus, Davinci, and Alliance Virtual Offices. But keep in mind that there are credit providers that will not accept virtual addresses.

Business Entity and EIN

Get a free EIN for your business and choose your business entity at IRS.gov. Use your EIN to open a bank account and to build a business credit profile. To truly separate business credit from personal credit your business must be a separate legal entity, not a sole proprietor or partnership. Only incorporating creates a new and separate entity which by default will reduce your personal liability. Other entities (like partnerships) don’t. File this with the Secretary of State for your state. Make sure your entity is set up in the same state as your business address.

NAICS Codes

The IRS website is also where you choose NAICS codes. These codes are for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data on the US business economy. Some businesses are considered to be risky by their very nature. Often higher risk comes from chances of injury or frequently engaging in cash transactions. Risk matters because there are several industries where lending institutions are hesitant to do business.

If more than one NAICS code can apply, you don’t have to choose the one that’s higher risk

And if only high risk codes apply, there’s nothing at all wrong with changing your business to match a related but lower risk code.

Business Licenses

Contact State, County, and City Government offices to see if there are any required licenses and permits to operate your type of business. Licensing requirements differ depending on state, town, and industry. Always make sure you have the proper licensing for your corporation

Having licensing builds credibility in your business, and that can help you get more customers.

Business Phone and 411 Listing

It’s very easy and inexpensive to set up a virtual local phone number or a toll free 800 number

A cell or home phone number as your main business line could get you flagged as un-established – but VOIP is okay. If you don’t want customers calling you at home all day, do not use a personal cell or residential phone as the business phone number. It also helps with fundability to have a dedicated business phone number. Your number must have a listing with 411 for most credit issuers and lenders to approve you. Check for your record to see if you’re listed and your information is accurate. No record? Then use ListYourself.net to get a listing.

Web Domain and Professional Website

Lenders and credit providers will research your corporation on the internet. It is best if they learned everything directly from your corporate website. Not having a professional website can hurt your chances of getting corporate credit. Buy web hosting from a hosting company like GoDaddy or HostGator. Your domain should be your business name, if possible. Add a company email address for your business on the same domain as your website. This often comes with a website domain provider. This is not just professional; it also greatly helps your chances of getting approval from a credit provider. Do not use Yahoo, AOL, Gmail, Hotmail, or similar kinds of email.

Business Bank Account in the Business’s Name

You must have a bank account devoted strictly to your business. The IRS does not want you commingling funds. Make accounting easier and reduce the risk of audit at tax time

Keep personal and business funds separate. Having a business-only bank account makes that easy.

Business Merchant Account

Getting a business merchant account is a smart way to help out your business. Now your business will be able to accept credit and debit cards. Studies show that customers will spend more if they can pay by card. This also increases your finance options and is generally more secure.

Get Set Up With the Business Credit Reporting Agencies

Go to D&B’s website and look for your business. Can’t find it? Then get a free D-U-N-S number on the D&B site. A D-U-N-S number plus 3 payment experiences leads to a PAYDEX score. You need a D-U-N-S number to start building business credit. Once you are in D&B’s system, search Experian and Equifax’s sites for your business.

Your Business Credit History

Get the most favorable funding by paying all bills on time, to get:

  • A PAYDEX score of 80
  • Equifax Credit Risk Score of 90 or better
  • A good FICO SBSS score, which is driven (in part) by on-time payments and business credit history
  • For Experian, historical behavior (payment history) is 5-10% of the total score

Business Credit Building from the Ground Up

Start with vendor accounts, a proven way to start building business credit. Vendor credit is generally not attached to a bank. So under federal law a Social Security number is not required. When not attached to a bank, there is no Social Security requirement for starter vendor credit

This is unlike bank loans and bank cards. You can legitimately leave the SSN field blank, which will force them to pull your business credit under your EIN.

Business Credit Building with Credit Cards with a PG

Every step and every credit provider is designed to help your business

It’s designed to help you qualify for business credit cards that you will actually use. As you continue building, your time in business will help. But to get started, you may need to give a personal guarantee. That’s okay; that’s a part of the strategy.

Good Personal Credit

If you already have good personal credit, then you’re all set. If not, you can work with a credit partner or guarantor. And never stop working on improving your personal credit, no matter what shape it’s in.

Phase 1 Funding Options

In Phase 1, it’s trickiest to get business credit and funding. But it’s not impossible! You will, though, need to think outside the box.

Our Credit Line Hybrid

A credit line hybrid is a form of unsecured funding. Our credit line hybrid has an even better interest rate than a secured loan. Get some of the highest loan amounts and credit lines for businesses. Get 0% business credit cards with stated income. These report to business CRAs so you can build business credit at the same time. This will get you access to even more cash with no personal guarantee. You need a FICO credit score of at least 680 or a guarantor with good credit to get an approval. No financials required.

We also have an option for getting just personal credit cards with our Credit Line Hybrid.

Demolish your funding problems with 27 killer ways to get cash for your business.

401(k) Financing

This is not a loan and you will not have to pay an early withdrawal fee or a tax penalty. You put the money back by contributing, just like with any 401(k) program so you won’t lose your retirement funds. The IRS calls this a Rollover for Business Startups (ROBS), which is a separate entity with its own set of requirements. The plan, through its company stock investments, rather than the individual owns the trade or business. This financing isn’t a loan against, your 401(k), so there’s no interest to pay and does not use the 401(k) or stocks as collateral.

Instead, this is simply a movement or change of custodian. Your 401(k) must have more than $35,000 in it and cannot be from a business where you are currently employed. You can get 401(k) financing even with severely challenged personal credit.

Stocks Financing

Some lenders will make loans using securities as collateral. Securities-based lending provides ready access to capital. The only restrictions to this kind of lending are other securities-based transactions, like buying shares or repaying a margin loan. You continue to earn interest on stocks pledged as collateral. But you will have challenged personal credit.

Sell Part of Your Business’s Equity

Your business and its potential are assets. Talk to people you know about angel investing

Angels buy a smallish stake in your company. They usually don’t expect as big a return as venture capitalists do. VCs might also buy a stake, but they generally just want paradigm-changing businesses. Another way to sell a part of your equity is to take on another founder or partner.

Crowdfunding and Grants

Note: crowdfunding success isn’t guaranteed. Crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter will take a percentage of any money you raise. But it can still be a way to get a cash infusion without having to give up equity. If you’re very good online and have a compelling product and story, then you’re more likely to succeed than most people. Grants can come from the government or private businesses. Expect a lot of competition, difficult entry requirements, and not a lot of money. But it’s another way to get some cash without having to sell a chunk of your business .

Phase 1 Goals for Business Credit and Funding

Right now, you have minimal Growth Monthly Revenue (GMR). This is a fast paced growth plan, throw it against the wall and take what you can get right now. Look at some short sighted daily and weekly goals for quick cash and growth. During this phase your focus is on the bare essentials to create a viable business. Your goal is to build your consistent revenue to $10,000 per month, and continue to work on improving your personal credit.

Phase 2 Development: $1,000 to $10,000 GMR

In Phase 2, you should start developing marketing. ow you’re at an aggressive sales pace adding nurture and longer sales cycles. Use medium term monthly growth planning (campaign to campaign). It’s time for software implementation and system development. You’re building the blocks of how your business is going to be, now and in the future. This phase should run somewhere between the first six to 24 months from launch.

Business credit and funding starts to get easier.

Phase 2 Credit Options

Your credit options will open up once you get to Phase 2, including:

  • Business Credit Cards (No PG)
  • Advanced Vendors
  • Vehicle Financing
  • Cash flow Management with providers like Brex and Divvy
  • Business Credit Cards With No Personal Guarantee

As you continue to build exceptional business credit and pay your bills on time, credit providers trust you more and more. You can get higher limits and better terms. And you can start to get business credit cards with no PG.

Advanced Vendors

There are many vendors that do not report to the business credit reporting agencies unless you default. They’re still a good idea, because credit can help you beyond business credit building

Not having to put up 100% of the costs of equipment or a building or anything else can help with budgeting. Credit can sometimes be the only way to take advantage of a limited time opportunity if you don’t have the money right now. And if your business credit cards offer rewards, cash back, or points, then using them is to your advantage.

Vehicle Financing

Vehicle financing is a great way to get a business vehicle without having to wait until you can just pay cash and drive it off the lot. Note: business owners may be required to personally guarantee vehicle loans. If you are a co-borrower the loan will most likely report to your personal credit report.

Some loans have a prepayment penalty and charge you for paying ahead. It is a good idea to have a loan proposal. A loan proposal should detail your business, loan needs, and financial statements.

Cash Flow Management

Managing small business finances can be overwhelming. There are a number of tools that can help streamline the process. Options like Brex, Divvy, Expensify, Lola, and more are growing in popularity. Which one is right for your business?

Brex

Brex is a business money management system that integrates with your accounting software

It allows you to track expenses and, depending on the level of service you choose, it can also help with paying bills and controlling spending. Brex has a partnership with the FDIC and your funds are secure. Everyone who opens a Brex cash account gets a corporate card. Brex reports any payments to Dun & Bradstreet

Divvy

One thing to know: Divvy is very similar to Brex. Divvy reports to the Small Business Finance Exchange, which in turn provides data to all SBFE partners, including business credit bureaus. As of April 2021, they also report to Dun & Bradstreet directly.

Phase 2 Funding Options

In Phase 2, your funding options also open up, to:

  • Merchant Cash Advances
  • Revenue Lending
  • Lines of Credit (Fundbox)
  • Equipment Financing/Leasing
  • Invoice Factoring

Merchant Cash Advances

An MCA technically isn’t a loan; it’s a cash advance based on the credit card sales of a business. A small business can apply for an MCA, and have an advance deposited into its account fairly quickly. So you can offer Net 30 terms but not have to wait a month to get paid. With an MCA you get funding based strictly on cash flow as verifiable per business bank statements. A lender mainly just wants to see consistent deposits.

Business Revenue Lending

You can technically qualify with only one year in business, but the annual revenue requirement is high enough that phase 2 may make more sense. You can raise capital from investors who get a percentage of the enterprise’s ongoing gross revenues in exchange for money invested until a predetermined amount is paid. Often this predetermined amount is between 3 – 5 times the original amount invested. Monthly payments will fluctuate with revenue highs and lows and will continue until you’ve paid back the loan in full.

Fundbox

Fundbox will connect directly to your online accounting software when deciding whether to fund your business. You can get revolving line of credit for up to $100,000. Fundbox will auto debit your weekly payment from your bank account. You don’t need to show a minimum personal credit score or a minimum time in business, but ideally you must have 6 months in business or more.

Equipment Financing

Use a loan or lease to purchase or borrow hard assets for your business. Physical assets can include items such as a restaurant oven or a company car. Pay predictable amounts every month. You can build business credit on a program like this.

Equipment Leasing

Or lease equipment, rather than buy it outright. You will often put down less money than you would if you were buying the equipment. You may be able to negotiate flexible terms with an equipment lease, and it’s easy to upgrade equipment after your lease ends. This is helpful if your equipment is something like a computer which quickly becomes obsolete.

Equipment Sale-Leaseback

If you already own your equipment free and clear you can use that as collateral for financing

Sell equipment to a lender for cash. Then lease it back from them. You can unlock Section 179 tax savings, and depreciate your entire equipment purchase in the first year. You’ll need at least one larger piece of higher value equipment to qualify.

Invoice Factoring

If you have open invoices and are extending credit to customers in some form, then you can get paid faster with factoring. Usually this involves invoices with net terms, like net 30, 60, or 90. To be paid faster, you turn those invoices over to a factoring company. They immediately give you an agreed upon percentage of the total of the invoices, like 80%. When your customer pays, the factoring company keeps their fee, and they send you the rest. But note – factoring only works if your customers pay.

Phase 2 Goals for Business Credit and Funding

Your goals should be:

  • Strong Business Credit (10 to 12 Accounts)
  • Good personal credit
  • Build consistent revenue to $10,000 or more a month

Always develop business connections in your community and with potential lenders.

Phase 3: Growth: $10,000 to $2 Million GMR

Successful growth…it’s working! It’s time to start optimizing systems and operations. You’ll be undergoing massive team and infrastructure development,  and long term growth and planning for semi-annual to annual focus lifetime customer value. You’ll need to make some high level strategic hires (Managers, VP’s, Essential C levels). This phase will happen at about 24 months or more from launch.

Business credit and funding gets a lot easier now.

Phase 3 Credit Options

Your Phase 3 credit options put your Phase 1 and Phase 2 options on steroids, with:

  • Team access to vendors and cards
  • Continuing to grow your vehicle fleet with vehicle financing
  • Vendor portfolio growth

Phase 3 Funding Options

Phase 3 opens your funding options up to:

  • All Alternative options available
  • SBA Loans
  • Bank Loans

Alternative Loans (also called private lending)

Private lenders are generally funded by investors or by banks, or both. Private lenders are in the business of taking funds from private investors. They make private business purpose loans with those funds. This often involves real estate. These can be hard money loans with shorter terms.

Alternative Options

Alternative lending also means online lending. But for certain industries, online lending is one of the only ways to get money. So let’s look at the cannabis industry, for example. Medical cannabis is legal is most of the country, yet more traditional lenders are still less likely to approve a loan. But lenders that specialize in cannabis industry lending are out there.

SBA Loans

More time in business will make SBA loans a real possibility for your business. It’ll be easier to get an SBA loan in Phase 3 versus earlier. This is because you can more readily show your business is established and making money. Demonstrated profitability and responsible credit and bank account management will improve your chances of getting an approval for an SBA loan. Also – SBA loans have great terms! So there’s a reason why you should be striving to be eligible for one.

Bank Loans

Banks are often the first place we think of when we thinking of financing. But big banks only sign off on about 25% of the small business loan applications that come their way. Still, term loans often have lower interest rates than many other funding options. They also tend to be for higher loan amounts. But you will most likely have to undergo a personal credit check and/or provide collateral.

Demolish your funding problems with 27 killer ways to get cash for your business.

Phase 3 Goals for Business Credit and Funding

In Phase 3, your mission is to take your business to the next financial level, so your goals are:

  • Profitability (so as to calculate loans)
  • Maintaining good personal and business credit
  • Build up to $2,000,000 in annual gross revenue
  • Maximizing leverage of cash flow with vendors and business credit

Grow Your Vendor Portfolio with Retail Credit

Retail credit comes from major retailers like Staples. You can buy everything from office supplies to power tools. Retailers will check whether your business information is uniform everywhere. They will also check whether your business is properly licensed. Terms can be revolving. You will need at least 3 (more would be better) accounts reporting to the business CRAs.

Grow Your Vendor Portfolio with Fleet Credit

Fleet credit is used to:

  • Buy fuel
  • Maintain vehicles of all sorts
  • Repair vehicles

These tend to be gas credit cards. But there may be a minimal time in business requirement.

Grow Your Vendor Portfolio with Business Credit Cards

Business credit cards are more universal-type credit cards, like MasterCard. So they can be used pretty much anywhere. These cards may even have rewards programs. Terms can be revolving. Often you will need to have at least 14 accounts reporting to the business CRAs. Also, there can be longer time in business requirements.

Phase 4: Maturity: $2M to 5M+ Annual Income

Your Business Credit and Funding Blueprint Credit SuiteConsistent growth is key. You’re aiming for long term consistent and stable growth,  and moving toward market domination (Competitor Buyouts and Acquisitions). Product development and expansion becomes critical for longevity. Because now it’s time for the big hire. You’re going to fill out C Level, Directors, and middle management. This phase will happen at around four to five years from launch.

It should be no problem to get business credit and funding when you’ve hit this stage.

Phase 4 Credit Options

By Phase 4, the sky is pretty much the limit! You should be able to get:

  • Most major credit cards with no PG
  • All vendors should be accessible

You should be able to leverage reports for specific vendors. This includes asking for a credit line.

Phase 4 Funding Options

In addition to everything we’ve already talked about, your business can take full advantage of:

Private equity

  • Investors
  • You might even sell shares in your corporation, or go public!
  • Phase 4 Goals for Credit and Funding

Now you’re playing the long game. Your mission is to look to the future and help your business for decades to come.

Therefore, you need to:

  • Balance your costs vs your cash flow vs your business’s profit
  • Leverage funding for expansions and buyouts

And you should be maximizing leverage of cash flow with vendors and business credit.

Phase 5: Exit

By this time, your business should be very well established. At this phase, you want to cash in on all the work you have invested. This is where the funding and credit has the long game return. A Business Credit Portfolio is transferable and increases the value of your business.

Your proven track record with merchant cash advances or revenue lending pays off big time, since it can keep business cash flow moving through the ups and downs. Having a proven track record with the SBA, and a profitable banking relationship, will improve the value of your business as well. People want to buy something they can lend against if they need to.

Phase 5 Business Credit and Funding Options

Selling can mean you’re retiring, or maybe you’re exchanging one form of entrepreneurship for another, and want to change industries yet remain an entrepreneur.

In Phase 5, you can:

  • Self-fund the sale in structured buy outs
  • Go to the SBA for acquisition money

In essence, you should be prepared to sign for your own buyout. Because a profitable, seasoned business can be an exceptionally valuable legacy.

Your Business Credit and Funding Blueprint: Takeaways

From startup to exit, your business credit and funding options will change. But navigating all the nuances can be tricky. Let’s walk that path together.

How to Use Customer Reviews in Images and Video Ads

Choosing the right content for your image and video ads can be challenging.

What message will actually get consumers to take the plunge and buy your product?

Regardless of how thorough your digital marketing plan is, there’s no one simple solution for ad success that applies to every campaign.

Or is there?

Instead of looking inside of your organization for inspiration, look to past and current consumers to help you share the greatness of your product.

How can you do this? By harnessing the power of reviews your satisfied customers have already given. 93 percent of consumers read online reviews before they make a purchasing decision. If you can incorporate authentic, positive reviews into your ads, you can set yourself apart from your competition and show your audience your worth.

In this blog post, we’ll break down six strategies for successfully using customer reviews to craft effective video and visual ads.

Why Should You Use Customer Reviews in Your Advertising Images and Videos

When a potential customer hears about your business or product, they’re going to go straight to the internet to find out more about it.

They’re not just looking for slick visuals: They’re looking for reviews from other consumers.

Also, 85 percent of consumers trust online reviews from strangers more than those from their friends and family.

When customer reviews are used in advertising material, you eliminate the middle step of consumers combing the internet for information.

Instead, you build immediate consumer trust with these user-generated descriptors of your service or product.

How to Use Customer Reviews in Your Advertising Images and Videos

There are countless ways to incorporate customer reviews into your marketing strategy. Below, we break down six strategies to let customer reviews do your marketing for you.

  1. Pick an Ad Theme and Find Customer Reviews on That Theme

    Ads can be powerful and evoke complex emotions.

    As you craft your testimonial campaign, decide which emotion you want your ad to embody. These include:
    -comfort
    -beauty
    -family
    -self-confidence
    -patriotism
    -courage

    Coca-Cola, for example, routinely adheres to the theme of friends and family. Invariably, when you see a Coke ad, you see this theme manifested either through imagery of copy.

    Think about the values associated with your brand and your mission.
    Dedicated to innovation? Select that theme and then source your existing quotes that highlight your cutting-edge tools.

    Regardless of which ad theme you choose, by pairing a sentiment with corresponding copy, you’ll inevitably craft an arresting, powerful testimonial that will make your product stand out to potential consumers.

  2. Pick a Great Customer Review and Create an Image or Video Around the Review

    While great reviews are worth their weight in gold, not displaying these testimonials properly can make them essentially valueless.

    To make sure your reviews get the attention they deserve, build an image (or a video if that’s more your brand’s speed) that is eye-catching and engaging.

    Easier said than done?

    Below we included five must-know design tips.

    Layout
    Organize your testimonial by keeping user experience (UX) at the forefront of your design. This includes strategic use of white space and placement of text and visual content. This will allow you to create an organized, consumable image that is easy to deduce meaning from.

    Unique Visuals
    The internet is flooded with so-so quality, cookie-cutter images. To make your customer review stand out, incorporate brand-appropriate images and colors, breaking up the monotony of visuals.

    Color
    Color can be used to stop a viewer in their tracks and evoke emotion. As you craft your testimonial images, decide what message the colors in your graphic should be sending.

    Typography
    Outside of the overall appearance of your testimonial graphic or video, typography can play a massive role in emphasizing the most important elements of your customers’ quotes. Consider bolding and bright colors to highlight pain points so the viewer immediately knows this quote is relevant to them.

    Simple
    While you want your testimonial to stand out, you don’t want visuals to overshadow the message. When it comes to designing these images, adhere to the three Cs of Google Marketing: clear, concise, and compelling.

  3. Pick a Customer Review and Use It to Amplify Your Social Shares

    An undecided shopper can morph into a dedicated buyer by engaging with other members of your audience.

    In fact, one out of every four individuals follow brands whose products they are interested in on social media. By monitoring your social channels and responses from customers, these shoppers can make a more informed decision about the strength and utility of your product.

    To show off your customer’s feedback, use client testimonials and reviews in your social strategy to further highlight just how wonderful your product is.

    When you share customer feedback on social media, you boost brand credibility, increase engagement, and ideally, grow your bottom line.

    Want some inspiration for getting reviews onto your social channels?

    Check out this testimonial from a Maybelline user:

    By sharing the tweet, the makeup company underlines the efficacy of its product and fosters trust and community as well.

  4. Pick a Customer Review and Use It in Your Search Strategy

    Search engines aren’t solely interested in how well you optimize your listing; they are also a source of constant monitoring, which includes what consumers are saying about your brand or your product.

    By using reviews in your Google and Microsoft listings, you can prominently display how consumers feel about your offering. What’s more, collecting new content regularly can earn you featured snippets and Google Seller Ratings, boosting your overall search visibility.

    Check out this ad from Lego for The Simpsons™ House:

    lego uses extensions to include customer reviews in google listing

    The stars, rating, and number of reviews alert interested viewers that the product is well-liked among buyers and that a significant number of people have purchased it. These extensions on a classic search engine listing help foster trust before potential consumers visit your site.

  5. Pick a Great Customer Review and Use It in Your Email Marketing Strategy

    Regardless of what your email marketing strategy is, it can benefit from including customer reviews. Given the medium’s historically high return on investment (ROI), this channel is the perfect place to include images or videos spotlighting customer reviews.

    When you share these testimonials in emails, you not only build credibility, but you are also more likely to increase your click-through rate (CTR).

    Through using customer-created narratives, you can both share experiences of your consumer base, while simultaneously demonstrating what readers can anticipate when they become customers.

    Check out this example from natural skincare company Naturopathica:

    natural skincare company customer reviews
    While this content isn’t built into their email template, sharing a visual that includes reviews and customers’ first names and last initials humanizes the review, making it more believable and relatable.

    Here, the quotes selected by the company speak to a pain point that is likely shared among many buyers looking for facial serum: decreased fine lines and wrinkles. By choosing quotes that address your product’s strengths and consumer pain points, you prove further value.

  6. Pick a Great Customer Review and Use It in Your Email Marketing Strategy

    OK, homepage was a bit of an understatement.

    While you should without a doubt have a dedicated page of your site for testimonials, you should also ensure your strongest customer reviews appear on every page of your website.

    These don’t have to be in your face. Instead, they should serve as a subtle reminder about the strength of your product and the amount of earnest goodwill behind it.
    Fabletics does an excellent job placing customer reviews across its website.

    By sharing these highly-starred reviews along with images of real consumers, Fabletics resoundingly makes the point that their product is, well, fabulous.

    Regardless of which route you choose to incorporate reviews into your digital marketing strategy, and all is a great option, too, there are three best practices you should adhere to when crafting your testimonial content.

    Short and Sweet
    Avoid quoting the entirety of a customer review. Instead, cherry-pick the best part and craft a relevant, bold headline. If you’re sharing on social, you can link to the complete review in the body of the post.

    Give Thanks
    Want more customer reviews? Of course you do, they’re invaluable marketing tools. Encourage consumers to leave future reviews by thanking them for taking the time to share their experience with your organization.

    Re-Tweet and Reshare
    This one applies specifically to your social media efforts, but be sure to continuously monitor your social platforms to see if there are any positive comments posted. If you find these hidden gems, you want to be sure to share them across your platform.

Conclusion to Using Customer Reviews in Visual Ad Campaigns

Regardless of industry or product, you should be taking advantage of customer reviews to enhance your digital marketing strategy.

As more and more searchers look online to determine if a product fits their need, you would be doing your business a disservice by not having an aesthetically engaging video or image ready to greet them.

By implementing a multichannel customer review campaign, you can demonstrate to potential customers not only your product is loved by owners, but that you have a true understanding of your audience’s pain, too.

Highlighting this central pain point through the language and context used by your current customers assures would-be customers that you both understand and solve their needs.

While the six strategies for customer reviews we discussed above will allow you to begin providing potential customers with proof points, also consider launching an entirely review-based campaign. With a handful of effective reviews, you can craft a narrative that tells your entire brand story, all while increasing visibility and awareness.

Where will you start incorporating customer reviews?

How to Find Keywords Everywhere

Keywords play an integral role in search engine optimization.

That’s why, if you want your SEO strategy, particularly keyword research, to be successful, you must know where to find relevant keywords.

You must know how to find keywords everywhere—and not just any keywords, but high-intent, low competition keywords you can rank for.

Why It’s Important to Find Keywords Everywhere

Whenever keyword research is mentioned, the conversation is usually centered around finding the best keyword research tool.

However, to have a set of winning keywords for your SEO strategy, you need to look beyond the standard keyword research tools everyone else is using.

You can’t rely on one single SEO tool or strategy. That’s because no single SEO tool can provide you with all the information you need to create a robust SEO strategy. Besides, take a look at the results you get from different tools, and you’ll find that every SEO tool provides slightly different results for the same query.

That incomplete data puts you at a great disadvantage. That’s why, if you want to outperform your competition, you must put in the effort and look for keywords everywhere—not just using a single tool or platform.

So how do you find keywords everywhere?

That’s what I’ll share in this post.

4 Tools and Strategies for Finding SEO Keywords Everywhere

When done right, SEO keywords can help you rank content, sell more products, and build your brand. That’s why investing the time and resources to find the right ones is so critical to business growth. Here are some tools and strategies to help you do just that.

1. Do a Manual Google Search

What better place to look for relevant keywords than on the biggest search engines of our time? Yes, I’m talking about Google.

On your quest to find keywords everywhere, one of your first steps must be a manual Google search. Here are a few ways you can find relevant SEO keywords using this method:

Google’s Autocomplete

Google’s Autocomplete function is the suggestions Google offers when a user is typing in a search query. While it was originally meant to help users reduce typing time, it has become a wealth of data for SEOs. That’s because the autocomplete suggestions are pulled from real-time, trending searches.

To find keywords using Google’s autocomplete, type in a keyword and note the suggestions Google offers. You’ll notice most of the suggestions are long-tail keywords. This makes this strategy excellent for finding long-tail keywords.

Featured Snippets

Another way to manually find keywords on Google is by searching for niche-related keywords and focus on the featured snippets.

Also known as “position zero,” a featured snippet is the first listing on the search engine results pages (SERPs). It’s different from other results in that it contains more information. Both factors make it more appealing to users than the other results on the page.

Featured snippets are one strategy you can use to find keywords everywhere.

Featured snippets can also help you find keywords to use in your content—and the best featured snippets to use for your keyword research are your competitors’ featured snippets.

Of course, manually searching for these is laborious and time-consuming. To make it easier, use an SEO tool like SEMrush’s Featured Snippet Report to track your competitors’ featured snippets.

Once you’ve compiled your competitors’ featured snippets, find the keywords they are ranking for and add those to your keyword list.

People Also Ask

The “people also ask” box is another great place to find SEO keywords. For some searches, Google will display related questions people ask in drop-down boxes like this:

The people also ask box is a great tool for finding keywords everywhere.

Just like Google’s autocomplete feature, the “people also ask” box is a goldmine of long-tail keywords.

Related Searches

The related searches section at the bottom of the SERPs features related keywords users input into the search bar.

when looking for keywords everywhere, don't forget Google's related searches box.

Sift through the related searches on as many pages as you can and look for relevant SEO keywords to add to your content strategy.

2. Use Keyword Research Tools like Ubersuggest

Want to find keywords everywhere?

Then you’ll want to use SEO tools like Ubersuggest.

Ubersuggest is a free tool specializing in generating keywords and serving up critical data on those keywords. The main features of the tool include:

Domain Overview

The Domain Overview feature gives you insight into your competitors’ SEO, content marketing, and social media strategies. This allows you to see what’s working in your niche so you can adapt those strategies for your campaigns.

Top SEO Pages

This feature helps you discover which competitors’ pages rank for particular organic keywords. It also shows which content performs well on social media.

Keyword Ideas

This is one of my favorite features—and the most useful. All you have to do is type in a seed keyword, and the tool provides a list of head and long-tail keyword suggestions.

Ubersuggest will not only give you keyword suggestions, but will also give you important metrics about the keyword.

Ubersuggest is a great tool for finding keywords everywhere.
  • Search Volume: The number of monthly searches on Google for the keyword
  • Cost Per Click (CPC): The average cost per click if you want to pay for Google Ads
  • Paid Difficulty (PD): The estimated competition in paid search
  • Seo Difficulty (SD): The estimated competition in organic search

Of course, Ubersuggest isn’t the only keyword research tool on the market (but it is one of the best as far as free features go).

If you’ve got a bit of money to splurge and need to dive a bit deeper into data, you can also try tools like Moz, Semrush, and Mangool’s Keyword Finder.

3. Use Chrome Extensions Like Ubersuggest

If you want to find keywords on the fly, use Chrome extensions like Ubersuggest.

The Ubersuggest Chrome extension gives you the most actionable SEO metrics directly in, among others:

  • Google search results
  • YouTube search results
  • Amazon search suggested terms

Every time you perform a search in Google, the extension gives you SEO data on your search query.

4. Complete Competitor Research With Tools

If you want to find keywords everywhere, one of the best sources for winning keywords is your competitors.

No, they won’t deliver those keywords to you on a silver platter. However, you can discover the keywords they are using by leveraging tools like TagCrowd.

All you have to do is input your competitor’s URL, and it will show you the keywords they’re using.

Other competitor research tools you can use to find the keywords your competitors are using include:

  • SpyFu
  • BuzzSumo
  • SEMrush
  • Ahrefs
  • Ubersuggest

You can then use those keywords to create better content that outranks your competitors.

4 Tools and Strategies for Finding Amazon Keywords Everywhere

Need to outrank your competitors on Amazon? It’s a tall order, as there are over 1 million of them in America alone.

Then you must know how to find Amazon keywords everywhere. Like Google, Amazon is a search engine that uses its own algorithm to rank content. And because searchers on Amazon are usually looking for something specific (products), your keyword research must align with their search intent.

A few tools and strategies to help you do that include:

1. Complete a Manual Search

Using Amazon to conduct keyword research manually is one of the best ways to find keywords on Amazon. To do this, type in your product name in the search bar and note the autocomplete suggestions that come up.

To find Amazon keywords everywhere, start with Amazon's autocomplete feature.

The suggestions are aggregated from the most popular searches users make. You can find some amazing keywords here you won’t find using regular keyword research tools.

2. Do Manual Competitor Research

One way to stand apart on Amazon is to be very specific in your product descriptions.

To figure out what keywords to use:

  1. Look at what comes up when you search for products that are similar to the ones you offer.
  2. Check the product descriptions and look at the keywords they’re using.
  3. Consider using the ones that apply in your own copy.

However, don’t just blindly apply your competitor’s keywords. Consider similar variations and think about what features are likely to be important to searchers.

3. Use Amazon-Specific Keyword Tools

Amazon is a search engine that uses its own algorithm to rank content. That’s why when looking for keywords to help you rank on Amazon, you must use Amazon-specific keyword research tools. Tools like Sonar and KeywordTool.io use complex algorithms to collect data about the keywords Amazon shoppers use when looking for products.

These tools will help you find keywords that are more relevant to your Amazon SEO strategy.

4. Use Analytics From Your Website

Your website is also another great to check out as you look for Amazon keywords everywhere. Use a tool like SEMrush to analyze your product pages and see which keywords are ranking high.

If they are specific and can be targeted towards Amazon shoppers, you can use them in your Amazon SEO strategy.

Remember, the competition on Amazon gets hotter every day as more people join the e-commerce bandwagon. To stay ahead of competitors, you’ll need to pull all the stops when doing your keyword research.

4 Tools and Strategies for Finding YouTube Keywords Everywhere

What started as a site to share video content has become one of the most popular search engines.

Yes, I’m talking about YouTube.

With over 2 billion users globally, you can’t afford to ignore this platform.

YouTube SEO is slightly different from other search engines because it’s a search engine for video content. Videos must follow YouTube SEO best practices to rank well there—and that includes using different keyword research strategies.

You must know how to find YouTube keywords everywhere possible to outrank your competition.

Here’s how to perform keyword research for YouTube.

1. Do a Manual YouTube Search

As with other search engines, your first port of call is to do a manual YouTube keyword search. To do this, you can:

Use the Suggested Keywords

Input your keyword idea into YouTube’s search bar, and it will suggest similar or related keywords.

When looking for YouTube keywords everywhere, make sure to utilize the suggestions from YouTube.

A major advantage of this strategy is the suggestions are collected from real YouTube. As a result, they are more likely to be relevant.

Check Top-performing Video’s Metadata

Another YouTube keyword strategy is to look for popular videos in your niche and check the video’s metadata. This includes title, description, and video tags. You’ll find top keywords you can use for your own videos.

2. Use YouTube Keyword Tools

Because YouTube SEO is unique to the platform, it’s essential to use YouTube-specific keyword tools to help you uncover unique keywords.

Tools like Kparser and VidIQ specifically generate keywords for YouTube. They are also designed to generate keywords for video titles, descriptions, and tags.

3. Use Discussion Forums like Quora

An important aspect of keyword research is to find the keywords people actually use in search queries.

And what better place to find those keywords than on platforms where people discuss topics related to your niche or industry. One such platform is Quora.

Search Quora for hot topics in your industry and think about relevant keywords and content you can create on YouTube along those same lines.

4. Review Your Blog

When doing keyword research for YouTube, think about the keywords you use to rank blog content. Use an SEO tool to analyze which keywords you’re ranking for, and then use these same keywords to develop content ideas for your YouTube channel.

When you create your YouTube content, embed those videos into the related blog posts—which is a great way to boost SEO on both Google and YouTube.

Conclusion

Keyword research is not just confined to keyword research tools. You can find keywords everywhere—if you know where to look.

Hopefully, this blog post has provided you with several fresh strategies to find keywords.

While looking for keywords everywhere can be time-consuming, it’s one of the first steps to gaining a competitive edge.

The 5 Best PPC Companies of 2020

Paid advertising offers a 200% ROI. So for every dollar you spend, you get two dollars in return. It’s no surprise that nearly 80% of marketers consider PPC profitable and beneficial for their businesses. 

But it’s not as easy as throwing ads up, seeing what sticks, and hoping people buy from you. 

There’s a reason PPC agencies exist — managing countless moving parts, and continuous algorithm updates take time. Plus… none of those things are easy to stay on top of, either. 

To make matters worse, choosing the best PPC company for your business presents a new set of challenges. So in this article, I cover my top recommendations, characteristics to look for, and what to expect working with an agency. 

Let’s get started!

The 5 top PPC companies in the world

PPC is an exciting type of digital marketing because you can quickly and directly evaluate your investment return. 

But whether you’re an excellent PPC manager looking to outsource or have no experience running pay per click advertising campaigns, choosing the right PPC agency isn’t always straightforward.

So to help you out, I put together this list of my top recommendations for different types of businesses. 

Let’s dive in!

1. Neil Patel Digital — Best data-driven multi-channel PPC agency

Ads in search engine results aren’t the only type of PPC advertising. 

Other examples include social media, programmatic, and Amazon, each with their own set of quirks and best practices. 

At Neil Patel Digital, we specialize in running multi-channel PPC campaigns using first-party data from our partners. Furthermore, we take this information and use it to create strategic, high-profit campaigns that meet your audience where they are.

They specialize in helping software companies around the world run high-ROI campaigns with a dedicated team running and optimizing things behind the scenes. 

Directive Consulting says one of their key differentiators is the predictability of their results.

So you can rest assured that you’re in good hands.

3. Stryde — Best for B2C and eCommerce businesses

B2C pay per click campaigns are vastly different from B2B campaigns. With different markets and trends, it’s essential to understand your industry’s specific ins and outs. 

And who better to do that than an agency specializing in eCommerce? 

Stryde is an eCommerce-specific digital marketing agency working with small and large companies all over the world. 

While they focus on other aspects of digital marketing like SEO and email marketing, PPC is a huge part of what they do. 

They helped Lime Ricke, a swimwear brand, achieve a 5.2x ROI. Furthermore, they helped  Lucy Ave, a women’s clothing company, obtain a 4.3 ROI. 

With repeatable and impressive results like these (and others outlined in their extensive portfolio), you know you’re making a smart choice.

4. Loud Mouth Media — Best small agency producing big results

If you’re looking for an expert partner in search advertising or paid social, Loud Mouth Media has your back. They’re a small agency based in the UK specializing in PPC (specifically paid search and social) campaigns for businesses of all sizes.

5. KlientBoost — Best for PPC management + landing page design

7 characteristics that make a great PPC company

Now you know my top PPC recommendations based on what you need. 

Let’s move on to what makes these PPC companies the best at what they do. We’ll also walk through what to look for on your hunt for the best option for your business. 

1. Extensive industry knowledge

The best PPC campaigns focus on the right audiences and the right keywords. But not all audience segments or keywords are equal. 

Understanding what works and what doesn’t comes from experience and in-depth industry knowledge. Without the two of those, you’re banking on intuition. 

Which… works sometimes, but that’s not what you should expect from a top PPC agency. 

Take a look at who’s a part of the agency’s team and take some time to evaluate their experience level and expertise in your specific industry. 

You can also look at their published case studies in different industries to see the types of results they produce for their clients. 

If you’re not confident in their knowledge in your industry, move on to an agency that feels like a better fit. 

2. Advanced analytics and reporting

Analytics and reporting are essential aspects of any PPC campaign. 

They help you get a better understanding of what segments and copy work well to shift your budget toward high-profit ads while reducing ad spend on those that don’t work. 

So your PPC agency must provide accurate and transparent reporting, so you always know where every dollar goes and the ROI it produces. 

Furthermore, top PPC agencies aim to collect as much information as possible regarding everything about your campaign. 

This insight helps them to adapt and produce higher ROI campaigns with first-party data directly from your business. 

You may not be able to find out much about this from an agency’s website. So it’s important to ask questions regarding the data and metrics they measure to influence their suggestions and future campaign strategies. 

3. Intent-driven keyword selection

The top PPC marketers know the best way to improve ROIs and reduce wasted ad spend is by focusing on transactional keywords rather than informational keywords for paid search marketing. 

Why? Because people searching for transactional terms are more likely to spend money. 

And good PPC strategists know this is the best way to get your business in front of the right people at the right time without wasting ad spend on irrelevant terms that aren’t going to turn into purchases. 

You may have a hard time learning about this from their website. So be sure to ask questions and gauge their knowledge around intent-based search queries before moving forward. 

4. First-party data sources and strategic partnerships

Search engines and social media platforms are continually updating their algorithms to be as human as possible to provide the best experience for their users. 

So the best PPC companies to partner with are on top of these continuous changes. 

Search and social partnerships provide those deep insights and industry trends non-partners don’t have. 

Furthermore, agencies with a pool of first-party data sources have a first-hand look at your audience’s attributes and behavior to make strategic decisions regarding your campaign before using your ad spend to test the market. 

Look for partnership badges for major search engines and social media platforms on their website. You can also look for an indication of first-party data sources. 

5. Mobile optimization

Fifteen years ago, mobile browsing and searching weren’t around. But today, mobile devices account for more than 50% of all searches made around the world.

But there’s something else a bit more interesting. Mobile devices account for 53% of paid clicks, which means there’s a huge opportunity (and need) to optimize your paid search strategy for mobile.

On top of that, there are nearly 3.5 million mobile social media users across the globe. So the opportunity for mobile-optimized paid social media campaigns is massive as well.

This makes an excellent case for mobile PPC campaigns. And the best PPC companies know this. So make sure the company you choose is prepared to strategize and optimize your campaigns for mobile devices. 

You may have to ask questions if you can’t find this information on their website. 

And if you’re not confident in their mobile capabilities, move on to a different PPC agency. 

6. Local PPC capabilities

90% of shoppers turn to search engines when looking for information on local businesses, and 33% perform these types of searches every day.

Pair that with the fact that 40% of total clicks go to the top three ad spots for transactional keywords, and you have a strong argument for local paid search marketing. 

So if your business operates in specific areas or you have a physical location to sell products or meet with potential customers, local paid search experience and capabilities are must-haves. 

Some PPC agencies specialize in local PPC, but that doesn’t mean those that don’t can’t produce impressive results. 

So be sure to ask questions to ensure you’re a good fit for each other. 

7. Multi-channel PPC services

If you’re looking for a specific type of PPC marketing, this isn’t necessarily a deal-breaker. 

But if you’re interested in cross-channel marketing, it’s easier to run all your campaigns through a single agency. 

And the more you work with them, the more in-tune they become with your business, industry, and specific campaign goals. Plus, you have the benefit of communicating and coordinating with one agency rather than managing several at the same time. 

Furthermore, you don’t have to worry about misaligned messaging from one platform to the next. 

So carefully consider where your target audience hangs out. Don’t forget to consider search engines, social media, paid shopping, and programmatic advertising on sites they frequently visit. 

Then, choose a PPC agency experienced in those areas.

What to expect from a great PPC company

If you’ve never worked with a PPC company before, it’s hard to know what to expect. So now that you know what to look for let’s talk about what working with one of the best PPC companies looks like. 

The details of each phase look different depending on the company you’re working with, but the general approach is typically the same. 

Phase 1: Discovery

The best PPC companies do everything they can to learn everything there is to know about your business and what you’re looking for. So, the first step to any new PPC project is discovery and onboarding. 

During this phase, you and your agency should hash out:

  • Your budget (including monthly ad spend)
  • The goals for your PPC campaign
  • What makes your business different from your competitors
  • How to improve your landing pages to increase conversions
  • Specific details about your business and target audience like where they hang out online, when they tend to shop, and where they live
  • What happens next

This is your chance to share everything you can possibly think of with your PPC agency. Even if it doesn’t feel relevant, it may be crucial to your success. So come into this phase as an open book with an open mind. 

Phase 2: Planning and testing

Once the agency understands your business, target audience, and marketing goals, it’s time to plan your upcoming campaign. This includes defining critical metrics and KPIs as well. 

This phase may also include running a small, low-budget pilot campaign to test different audience segments, copy, and overall execution. 

So, the more information you know about your target audience, the easier this will be. 

By the end of this stage, you’ll have a plan in place for full-scale execution and a deeper understanding of how you’re going to work together moving forward. 

Phase 3: Full-scale execution

Now it’s time to launch the full campaign. The specifics of this depend on the type of advertising and the agency you’re working with. 

Your project could be short-term, long-term, or ongoing. But during this time, you should get regular feedback and thorough reporting outlining everything about your campaign. 

And when your campaign comes to a close, you should have a clear picture of your results. 

Phase 4: Next steps

Lastly, your agency will walk you through the data they collected and explain what everything means. They’ll also probably provide suggestions and feedback on what they can improve if you want to continue working together. 

This stage should also cover what happens next. 

Strategy + creative + the right audience segments = high ROI

Hiring a top PPC company is a smart choice if you’re looking to save time, strategize with experts in your industry, and enjoy short-term results (when compared to something like SEO). 

But choosing a PPC agency you can trust is harder than it sounds. 

So whether you’re looking for advice or someone to take over and manage your campaigns, use these tips and recommendations when making your decision. 

Do you have any experience vetting and hiring a PPC agency? What criteria did you consider when making your decision?
