  • Episode 8 – Facebook and Instagram For Your Business
     Hey Everyone! Welcome to another episode of the Digital Marketing Dive Podcast. I’m Seth Goldstein from Goldstein Media, with me is the self-proclaimed king of the Internet, Shawn Swaim, of Shawn Swaim Consulting.
    We have a great episode for you today.
    Today we’re going to talk about using Facebook and Instagram for your business.
    Business Page vs. Personal Page used for Business
    Reach is a major concern: Facebook put up a lot of roadblocks for organic reach for business pages. (Promoting paying for ads… hoooowwww convenient…)
    Boosting posts
    “Boost” vs. A Straight Up Ad
    Likely a rant here… lol… I (Shawn) HATE boosted posts
    Shhhh don’t tell him Seth boosted the episode 5 post.
    FB and IG stories
    Sponsored Posts on IG 
    Done in same platform as Facebook ads, however, the audience on FB is different from audience on IG, and the ad content should be treated as such
    Great video from social media pro Sunny Lenarduzzi on her Instagram tricks. Some really good ideas:  https://youtu.be/anPgxACGPLE
    This week we’re going to try something different. Instead of our WordPress plugin picks. We’re doing general apps and sites that intrigue us.
    Shawn: Workflowy - Powerful AF for helping keep Sh*t organized
    Seth: Planoly - Has a free basic plan with some limitations, but a neat way to plan out your Instagram account.
    Well that was fun. As always please give us a review in the podcast directory of your choice. We’re all of the major directories. We also want to hear from you. Email us at [email protected]. Leave us questions, comments, critiques, rants, you name it. If you don’t want us to read the note on the show, please tell us, because we probably will! Also feel free join our Facebook group to continue the conversation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/digitalmarketingdive/
    So that’s it. It’s been fun! See you on the flip side!

              • Episode 7 – E-Commerce and SEO
                Hey Everyone! Welcome to another episode of the Digital Marketing Dive Podcast. I’m Seth Goldstein from Goldstein Media, with me is the self-proclaimed king of the Internet, Shawn Swaim, of Shawn Swaim Consulting.
                We have a great episode for you today.
                Today we’re going to talk about a topic that is near and dear to his royal highness’ heart... E-Commerce and SEO.
                What makes E-Commerce and SEO a different beast than regular optimization of a non-commerce site?
                Three words… 
                Tech-
                Ni-
                Cal
                Crawlability, Canonicalization, Pagination, etc.
                Optimize Your Meta Titles, Descriptions, and H1’s
                All on different levels - Content/Category/Product
                Your URLs MUST be human readable.
                If you have a bunch of “gobbledygook” in the URLs it will hurt you in the rankings.
                Write unique product titles and descriptions
                DUplicate content is still duplicate content
                Keyword rich content is still needed
                Rant possibility: People say SEO is dead for ecommerce… “It doesn’t work”... in reality, laziness is what doesn’t work.
                Canonicalization
                Shawn… enlighten us.
                Focus on ranking individual product and category pages for less competitive terms
                A saturated market for direct match terms
                Find Long‐Tail and Related Keyword Variations
                Need SSL (HTTPS) sitewide. You should have this regardless.
                An XML sitemap is key
                Difference between Sitemap and Sitemap index?
                Look at your competition and what they are ranking for.
                Look at the pages they are ranking for…
                20/180 Principle
                Use Schema.org to mark up your site with schema tags to make the site that much more user and bot friendly
                Start with Brands, Contact Info, Reviews
                Great resource, but highlights their tool is Ahref’s article on this topic.
                As you know both Shawn and I are big WordPress CMS fans. We’re going to start sharing our favorite plugins and tips for making your WordPress site even better here. Here’s our picks this week:
                Shawn: Classic Editor - Get rid of the that pesky Gutenberg!
                Seth: MainWP - This is a great plugin that allows you to setup a quick way to update all your customers’ sites in one swoop.
                E-Commerce Related Pick: WP SEO Structured Data Schema Pro
