By Angela Smith


Making clear and attainable marketing objectives helps any business entrepreneur formulate marketing strategies that are sure to fulfill their business objectives. This also holds true to online businesses that are employing Search Engine Optimisation in reaching their niche customers.

SEO is an online marketing strategy that principally assists web-based entrepreneurs drive not just traffic, but quality traffic through various routes. These online visitors who check out the content of the website will then serve as potential and eventually qualified customers.

Online marketing objectives may vary depending on the nature of the business. But the following are the most common marketing objectives: increasing sales and enquiries, promoting brand awareness, creating a customer database, and reducing marketing budget. A combination or all of these objectives can be applicable for any web-based business.

Objectives indeed can be diverse but one thing is certain: defining goals clearly help online enterprises divide the tasks that need to be accomplished into controllable, measurable chunks, through which businesses can base their marketing plan.

Benchmarking is also a significant aspect of any communication campaign, including online marketing. Creating benchmarks before employing SEO techniques helps business enterprises check how SEO has improved the performance of their websites.

In online marketing, benchmarking means analyzing the website's existing traffic, conversion rate, and the actual profit the website is generating. Benchmarking is the key to determining how the business is going so far.

For sure online entrepreneurs will discover that they aren't the no. 1 yet on search engines, but closely monitoring the performance of the website and discovering an increase of 15% over 2 months is good news. Businesses that submit their website to search engines like Google can use the Google Analytics in knowing their conversion rate.

Measuring the outcome is the next step after setting the goals and defining the benchmark. There's no other way of maximizing the return from each person that visits the website but to know and measure the stats of the website. Online entrepreneurs may use the web analytic tools in analyzing and monitoring the website's stats.
