Uptick Marketing is incredible. We have been working with them for years here at ProcessBarron, and they continue to prove their expertise, professionalism, and effective marketing efforts. As Marketing Associate for ProcessBarron, I work with them directly.

It was a pleasure to work with Uptick Marketing on our keyword research for the Center for Educational Technologies housed within the College of Veterinary Medicine at Texas A&M University. They did an amazing job at the research and discovery of our industry, competitors and target markets. With this information they created a fool proof strategy that we could implement with ease. Lance Moore and Anna Sims were extraordinarily patient with my learning curve and shared so many tips and tricks to further benefit our success. They worked seamlessly with Pamela Sanderson at their sister company, Infomedia, who was also incredible to work with. They all were very responsive and genuinely cared about making this a positive experience for myself and my colleagues. Don’t worry if you aren’t located in Birmingham, Alabama. I am located in College Station, Texas and Uptick made sure there were no challenges due to the distance. If you are looking for a digital marketing agency, look no further – you have found them.
Texas A&M University

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Uptick for several years. They always exceed expectations in response time, delivery, and content. I appreciate the tireless work from Lance, Matt, and Jacob.
The Welch Group

I have worked with Jerry Brown, Lance Moore and Jason Lovoy and they are absolutely TOP NOTCH!! I have worked with 3 other digital marketing firms in the past, and these guys are 10 steps better than all the previous ones combined. They follow up with me, they answer my questions, they are proactive in determining my needs, and most importantly, they treat me and my business with care and personal attention. My business has grown exponentially since working with them!

This may not surprise you; after all, most of us run straight to Google when we’re looking for something we need. But when it comes to your business, that statistic is crucial. After all, some of those people are searching for the product or service that your business offers.
The question is, are they finding you? Or are they finding your competitors?
It’s painful to lose customers who are ready to buy, but it doesn’t have to be that way. A professional digital advertising strategy helps you get in front of your audience when they’re ready to buy-and that can make a huge impact on your business’s success.

Tired Of The Uncertainty That Comes With Digital Marketing?
Creating an ad campaign sounds simple enough: Write some text, design a nice graphic, load the whole thing into Google or Facebook, and watch the sales roll in! If only it were that easy.
In reality, running a paid ads campaign (like what used to be known as Google Adwords, for example) is much more complicated than it appears-especially if you’re not a Google Partner. If you don’t have the right level of advertising expertise, you could easily flush thousands of dollars down the drain with zero return on investment. Most business owners can’t afford to risk that kind of cash.
The good news is you can see tangible results from your advertising efforts-you just need to work with a marketing agency that will design a custom digital marketing strategy with your business needs in mind.

I Need More Traffic To My Website – Now.

PPC (Pay-Per-Click) advertising gets your business in front of people when they are actively searching for your product or service by placing a text ad in the search results. And, as you probably figured out, you only pay when someone clicks.

I Want To Stay In Front Of People Who Visit My Website.

Retargeting keeps your business top-of-mind by continuing to show your ads to people who visited your website but left without becoming new customers. As they surf the web, your ads will follow them around—which makes it pretty hard for them to forget about you.
Learn More

I Want To Reach My Audience On Social Media.

Social media advertising identifies your audience on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms and shows your ads in their feed or stories. If you have a solid email list, we can use that to build a look-alike audience and find even more prospects.

Not Showing Up on Google?
People are searching for what your business offers. Turn them into paying customers with a solid SEO strategy that delivers results.
If you feel like your business is struggling for visibility on Google, you’re not alone.

These days, it’s not enough to just show up higher in search (although that is a great start). Once you get in front of your audience in search results, you need them to choose you over your competition—and that’s where a professional SEO strategy really delivers value.

[H2] What is Content Marketing?
The term “content marketing” encompasses a variety of things, but ultimately it’s engaging content written for your two main audiences: people and web crawlers. This content can take on many different forms, including:
WEBSITE CONTENT
EMAIL MARKETING
BLOG ARTICLES
AND MORE!
Get In Touch

[H2]
That’s Right—You’re Not Just Writing For Humans
Believe it or not, search engines can tell how good your content is—they’re evaluating how easy it is to read, how well it’s laid out, and whether you have other elements like graphic design that improve usability.
So, as you’re creating content, keep in mind you’re writing for humans and search engines. For your content to be effective, both need to have a good experience.
If you’re throwing a bunch of poorly-written keyword-stuffed blog articles out there, they’re not likely to show up in search results. Even if someone finds your article, the content will look so spammy that they likely won’t stick around to actually read it.
On the other hand, if you’re regularly creating new content that provides genuine value to your target audience, then Google will trust you more, and your pages will rank higher in search results.
Let's Talk
[H2]
Search Engine Optimization Helps Your Content Get Found
Just like every other part of digital marketing, effective content marketing has a strategy behind it. That strategy absolutely must incorporate search engine optimization.
Otherwise, you could end up producing flawlessly written website content that no one ever reads because it doesn’t show up in search results. How frustrating is that?!
The good news is that with the right SEO tactics in place, your content creation will not be in vain.

The Components of an Effective Marketing Strategy

Keyword Research

To write about the things your customers want to know, you’ll first need to understand what they’re searching for.
Maybe you think they’re Googling “best chocolate fountains in Birmingham,” but they’re really searching for “chocolate fondue party tips.”
Do your research to find out what your audience actually cares about, then build your content around the data.

Search Engine Optimization

It’s time to put all that keyword research to work! Create a plan for your content marketing that centers around what people are actually searching for.
You can usually address the same topic (“chocolate fondue party tips”) in a variety of ways (best chocolate for fondue, 5 things to dip in chocolate fondue, how to choose a chocolate fondue fountain) so that you become the go-to expert in your field.

Consistent Publication

If your website doesn’t have fresh content published regularly, Google will assume it’s not active—which means your pages won’t rank as high in search results.
You should be publishing fresh content once per month, at minimum. Ideally, you should aim for at least once per week—more if you can swing it. The easiest way to accomplish this is by posting a new blog article on a regular basis.

[H4] Free Up Your Time With Content Marketing Services From Uptick

Content marketing seems like one of those things that anyone could do, and in the grand scheme of marketing, it is easier to wrap your head around than some of our more technical services (like digital advertising).
But just like everything else, it takes time. Even a seasoned copywriter could easily spend 2-3 hours on a single blog. If you’re not a seasoned copywriter and you’re trying to incorporate elements of SEO into your writing, the time commitment is usually more than you have to give.
The content marketing team at Uptick knows how to connect brands with a target audience through the power of great writing. They push out valuable information on a regular schedule through blogging, email marketing, and other types of new content.
