Difference between the SMO (SOCIAL MEDIA OPTIMIZATION) and SMM (SOCIAL
MEDIA MARKETING)
SMO (SOCIAL MEDIA OPTIMIZATION) is the process of optimizing the website so that
it can exhibit on various social media channels. It deals with the interface to make it
looks compelling so that users share it on their social media accounts. The main
objective of SMO is to create an impressive optimized site and pulling users and
encouraging them to share the content.
The next step that follows Social Media Optimization is Social Media Marketing, and
then it is about brand/services through various posts that include product details. The
primary goal of SMM is to make brand popular and create a sticky customer base.
These posts include videos, text content, info graphics and others.
The difference between SMO and SMM, SMO deals with on-page optimization of the
website while SMM deals with the activities that take place outside website.
14
3.1.a. SOCIAL MEDIA CALENDER
A Social media calendar that helps to visualize all the planned posts for the next weeks
or months ahead. And on top of that, it will help to craft the posts in advance so that
always there is something ready to share.
15
1. Pages: Facebook pages are the simplest to create and are free. We need to
build brand page and invite people to like and follow it. But when we set up
business page keep in mind some essential points:
a) Always use company logo as the profile picture and cover page
b) Post the content that is useful and relevant to business and our customers
c) Do not post same content instead post it timely at specific time intervals.
Use it to announce new product launches or coupon codes for fans or to
link to our new blog posts.
d) “About us” should be small, impressive introduction about what our brand
does and how it can help our target customers.
2. Ads: Facebook ads that are the paid alternative for our social media marketing
needs. It is helpful because Facebook collects information about the
demographics, age, gender and the search history of the users which makes
Facebook the best targeted advertising programs online. When ads appear in the
news feed of your audience, they can either be redirected to our website or our
intended Facebook page. They also have the option to hide the ad if they do not
like it but after giving feedback on why the ad was irrelevant to them. The
Facebook ads are not just simple, but it is highly flexible. You can easily
customize it as per your marketing requirements and get the most out of your ad
investment.
3. Groups: Facebook groups are more like a discussion forum where people of
similar interest can come and share their thoughts. You can create groups
related to your industry and add people to it for high user engagements. But,
managing groups is a bit time consuming as compared to other marketing
techniques.
Facebook Optimization
1. Profile Creation: After creating your profile and filling in the details about the
services and product, you are now available on Facebook. But, a personal
Facebook profile is different from a business profile.
2. Page and Group Creation: A page describes everything about your brand and
service and will enable users to like the page if they are interested. It allows the
users to share, like and follow it.
16
4. Event Branding: Facebook also provides users with “create an event” option
that is a great way to get the attention of users. If we are organizing an event,
then we can send an invite to our customers with the date and venue details. It
will help to reach out to your customers and also pull their interest in our brand.
17
Create actionable content
Actionable content always works so try to create content that helps to build
curiosity and compels the user to click on the link. For example, if we want to
promote our blog, then we should share a tad bit of content of our blog that
incites curiosity of the user and makes him click the link.
LinkedIn Groups:
LinkedIn also comes with a group feature that helps to create the industry-
specific groups and invite like-minded people to join it. We can share our
thoughts, ideas, ask questions or suggestions from people of our industry and
participate in conversations. It is another way to attract leads to your business.
18
Developing a YouTube marketing strategy
Marketing on YouTube is like marketing on other social platforms:
a) Defining our goals.
b) Clicks/traffic
c) Engagement
d) Reach/subscriber numbers Commit to a schedule
19
such as products added in the cart, product views or any of the purchase made and
these details get stored in a cookie.
3.1.g. Optimizing Ad copy
When you are preparing ads for your social media campaigns, then we have a limited
text collection with which we need to play around effectively. The main idea behind
creating social media ads is less text but more significant impact.
Here are the few steps that we can follow for an effective ad text optimization:
1. Catchy titles that have keywords offer more conversion.
2. Highlight the unique content such that it grabs the user attention.
3. Include at least one keyword in the text content.
4. Find negative keywords as it helps to filter the non-relevant searches.
5. Avoid using repeated words.
6. Do not forget to add CTA
7. Do not include problems instead present your ad with a solution.
8. A/B testing
20
Features of paid marketing
1. Paid marketing ensures that the target customers surely see our ad. The post and
wait that we get with organic marketing are not applicable here.
2. The reach and penetration of paid marketing ads are not limited.
3. Paid marketing helps us to target audience based on demographics, interests, and
helps to retarget.
4. It allows us to upload the target customer list from our CRM and then will find
lookalike customers with those matching profiles.
5. Paid marketing helps us to broaden our fan-base. The chance of growing our brand
with a limited number of audiences is low, so paid marketing can do wonders to such
brands.
Organic marketing via different social media channels
Organic marketing is a small part of your social media marketing campaign so it might
be of least relevance but the absence of organic marketing is not advised.
Features of Organic Marketing:
1. Instagram: This social media platform is all about beautiful and captivating
images. So, focus on posting interesting images that represents the brand.
2. Facebook: When it comes to adding video content then Facebook works best.
The live video feature of Facebook let these videos rank higher than others.
3. Twitter: Thought leadership and quotes works best on Twitter.

4.1. INTRODUCTION TO SEO
What is SEO?
SEO Stands for Search Engine Optimization. It is a technique used to increase the
Visibility of a website in search engine’s result page. SEO is a technique for:
SEO Helps the website rank better in the result page. A better ranking website gets
more traffic, creating the opportunity of better exposure and revenue.
What are Search Engines?
Search Engines are software’s designed to search the information on the World Wide
Web. Google, Yahoo, Bing, Baidu, Ask, AOL Search, WOW, WebCrawler are name of
some search engine.
Google is the top search engine and is used by 70%-80% people around the world.
Rest 30% to 20% use the other search engine mentioned.
Working of a Search Engine
Crawling – Process of fetching all the web pages linked to a website. This task is
performed by software, called a crawler or a spider (or Googlebot, in case of
Google).
Indexing – Process of creating index for all the fetched web pages and keeping
them into a giant database from where it can later be retrieved. Essentially, the
process of indexing is identifying the words and expressions that best describe
the page and assigning the page to particular keywords.
Processing – When a search request comes, the search engine processes it,
i.e., it compares the search string in the search request with the indexed pages in
the database.
Calculating Relevancy – It is likely that more than one page contains the search
string, so the search engine starts calculating the relevancy of each of the pages
in its index to the search string.
22
Retrieving Results – The last step in search engine activities is retrieving the
best matched results. Basically, it is nothing more than simply displaying them in
the browser.
The Rank algorithm is a program that ranks the website according to the website data.
When a user types a query in search engine, the search engine matches the keywords
in their database and presents the website containing the keywords according to the
rank assigned by the Rank Algorithm.
Black Hat SEO exploits the guidelines of search engines, and use foul methods to
increase page ranking. It is also considered as Unethical SEO. Link Spam, Keywords
Stuffing, Cloaking, Hidden Links and text are some of the black hat SEO techniques.
Gray Hat SEO
Gray Hat SEO is the SEO which takes risks i.e., using techniques that may borderline
Black Hat SEO. These techniques can be legitimate in others. Doorway pages,
Gateway Pages, Duplicate content are some of the gray hat SEO.
KEYWORD RESEARCH
A keyword is a term that is used to match with the query a person enters into a search
engine to find specific information. Most people enter search phrases that consist of two
to five words. Such phrases may be called search phrases, keyword phrases, query
phrases, or just keywords. Good keyword phrases are specific and descriptive. The
23
following concepts related to keywords, help in optimizing the keywords on a web page
are:
Keyword Frequency
Keyword Weight
Keyword Proximity
Keyword Prominence
Keyword Placement
Best Places to Put Keywords
Finding Keywords
There are many different ways to find keywords for your website. Some good keyword
ideas are:
The Potential words, people would use to find your product or service.
The problems that your prospective customers may try to solve with your product
or service.
Keyword tags on competitor’s websites.
Visible page copy on competitor’s websites.
Related search suggestions on top search engines.
Using an online tool such as Google Keyword Tool.
By analyzing your website carefully and finding out proper keywords. This task
can be done by expert SEO copywriters.
Pay attention to stemming for your keywords – particularly to what the root word
is and what Google considers to be a match for that word, when optimizing
pages over time.
You can do brainstorming to identify correct keywords for your site.
24
4.1.b. ON PAGE OPTIMIZATION
On Page Optimization is a part of White Hat SEO. It refers to optimizing the factors that
affects the listing of the website in search results. The following techniques are covered
under on page optimization:
1. Keyword Analysis: A keyword analysis is a SWOT – analysis for search engine
optimization (SEO) and search engine advertising (SEA). This analysis provides
insight into the volume, competition and expected results of keywords for both
search engine optimization and search advertising. A keyword analysis is very
important prior to starting any SEO activity or the creation of SEA campaign. It
allows SEO and SEA professionals to:
Determine the volume of a search keyword or phrase, gain insight into the
competition on search keywords or phrases, find relevant synonyms, discover
negative keywords, which need to be avoided, see the current performance of
keywords or phrases, calculate target cost-per-click (CPC), cost-per action (CPA)
or expected revenue.
25
3. Title: The title tag is used to specify the title of the website. The title is the
clickable text displayed in the result as the title of the website. Title tag
optimization is done to make sure that the WebPages get displayed for the
targeted keyword. For optimizing the title tag,
The title for each web page must be different.
Keywords must be present along with page name
Title must have only 5 words or must be less than 70 characters including
space.
Words of the title must be separated by pipeline “I” or “,”
Example: Home | WsCube Tech | Keyword2
<title> Home | WsCube Tech | Keyword | Keyword2 </title>
4. Meta - Keywords, Descriptions, Language: The Meta Tags are the part of the
website where you put your keywords. Some search engines may display the
meta description as a part of the search results, but the meta keyword tags
should not appear in search results. For Google, adding the description meta tag
does not result in a boost in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs), but the
description might be used for the description for your SERP listings in Google.
Yahoo! says, they use the keyword Meta Tag when it ranks a page. Hence it
makes sense to add one for Yahoo! and nay other minor search engines that still
use.
26
Meta Description Tag Tips:
Please refer to the previous chapter for identifying good keywords. Use
the following tips for preparing good meta keywords tags.
Use synonyms.
Use unique keywords.
No need to repeat any given phrase.
You can repeat a word any number of time, as long as each time it is
part of different phrase.
27
5. Heading – H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6: HTML header tags are used to differentiate
the headings (h1) and sub-headings (h2-h6) of a page from the rest of the
content. These tags are also known to webmasters as heading tags or simply
header tags. The most important heading tag is the h1 tag and least important is
h6 tag. In HTML coding, the heading tags from h1 to h6 form a top-down
hierarchy.
We use H tags to understand the structure of the text on a page better. For SEO,
there are 2 main purposes for HTML header tags: Structuring the page for
readability, and Relevance to keywords.
6. Hyperlink: The clickable text present in webpage is anchor text. In SEO, these
anchor texts must be relevant to the page you are linking to. All the anchor tags
must have title filled with keywords or the hyperlinks must be properly titled.
Example: <a href=http://www.wscubetech.com/services.php title= “web
development services”>Services</a>
7. Alt: The alt tag (alt attribute) is used to describe what the image is. This alt is
displayed in place of the image when the image cannot be shown or has an error
in loading. Hence, all the images must be properly tagged. Keywords can be
used in the alt tag to maximize the visibility of the site.
Example
:<imgsrc=”images/logo.png”alt=”wscubetechlogo”title=”Title”width=”50”height=”5
0”/>
8. URL: URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. After choosing domain name,
optimizing the URL’s for your pages is the next SEO step. SEO for your page
URL is important because keywords in the URL are the ranking factor and short
and descriptive URLs can help with link building and user interaction. The URL of
a website:
a) Must have limit of 70 characters.
b) Must not contain underscore.
c) Must use important keywords in the URL.
9. Favicon Icon: Favicons are small 16*16 pixel icons that commonly have the first
letter or logo of a specific brand; it can also represent a generic image to
represent the type of business that one has. These are commonly placed in files
called facvicon.ico, and are allocated in a websites root directory. Using a
Favicon created brand recognition and sense of credibility and trust among the
visitors.
28
10. Canonicalization Installation: Canonicalization is the process of selecting the
appropriate website URL if many options exist. For example, if there are various
options available for a website nidm.com such as:
a) https://wildhubdesigns.com/
b) wildhubdesigns.com
c) wildhubdesigns.com/index.php
Here the browser loads the suitable URL and this process is called Canonicalization.
When should you use Canonicalization?
29
11. Doctype: The Doctype tag in the webpage informs the search engine about the
version of HTML page. The Doctype declaration must be the very first thing
written in your HTML document, before the beginning of html tag.
12. Web Speed Optimization: If the website takes time in loading, then the suer will
not spend their time waiting of rit. So, here are some tips to optimize the speed of
your website:
a) Minify the CSS and JavaScript files.
b) Plug-in should be avoided.
c) There should not be minimum or no use of flash in the site.
d) Nested tables must not be present
e) Never use inline styles.
f) Take advantage of zip.
30
13. Link Building: Linking or link building refers to the technique of linking website
pages with external pages. These links are one of the factors in determining the
rank of the website. Links are classified into 3 categories:
a) Internal Links- The links present within the site, interlinking WebPages
together are called internal links. A well structure and style helps the
search engine to crawl the site and determine the priority of the pages.
b) Outgoing Links- The links present on your website pointing to other web
page is outgoing link. Example: social networking account links present on
the site.
c) Incoming Links- The links coming from other domain to your website are
incoming links. The links coming from sites with higher page rank helps in
boosting the page rank as they show search engine the importance of
your website.
14. XML Site Map: A sitemap is (usually) an XML document, containing a list of
pages on your website that you have chosen to tell Google other search engines
to index. Google often uses the sitemap file as a guide to the pages available on
your website – even though it may decide not to index every page you list on
your sitemap. The sitemap also carries information about each page, including
when it was created and last modified, and its importance relative to other pages
on your site. These speeds up the process of indexing pages.
31
15. Robots.Txt File: A robots.txt file tells search engine crawlers which pages or
files the crawler can or can’t request from your site. This is used mainly to avoid
overloading your site with requests; it is not a mechanism for keeping a web
page out of Google. There are two important considerations when
using/robots.txt:
a) Robots can ignore your /robots.txt. Especially malware robots that scan
the web for security vulnerabilities, and email address harvesters used by
spammers will pay no attention.
b) The/robots.txt file is a publicly available file. Anyone can see what sections
of your server you don’t want robots to use.
c) User-agent: *
d) Disallow: /wp-admin/
e) Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
16. Competitors Website Auditing : Through this we can know our competitors
strengths and weakness of the site, then we can make strategy to over the
competitors
32
17. Timely Assessment / Webpage Auditing: One of the questions that keep
coming to our mind when doing SEO are what if the technique, we are doing will
benefit us? Are the keywords chosen improving our ranking or not? Why my rank
is not improving in-spite of trying every technique? Assessing your SEO strategy
can be tricky, especially if you don’t know what to look for. Therefore, it is critical
that you are armed with the proper SEO tools and knowledge to gauge whether
your current SEO strategy is effective. Otherwise, you could be losing a lot of
money or time on services and techniques that just aren’t working or aren’t being
done correctly and can actually have a negative impact on your business.
A Part from Google Analytics, Google Webmaster and Bing Webmaster, there
are tools available on the internet for easy and real time analysis. Search Engine
Ranking, Piwik, Kissmetrics, Clicky and Woopra are some awesome tools for
analysing the website. Although they may not be 100% correct, they provide
some valuable insight of the website.
18. Domain Authority: Measured on a scale from 1-100, your domain authority is a
number given to you by search engines to determine the strength of your
website. Websites with a higher domain authority receive preference in the
search results, while websites with a lower domain authority are more likely to
rank near the bottom. Domain authority is measured by a few different factors,
including how long you’ve had your domain name (the longer the better), the
history of the domain name, the number of backlinks, and the number of 404
pages. By ensuring you have a technically sound website that follows the SEO
best practices, you can maximize your domain authority and improve your
ranking.
33
4.1.c OFF PAGE OPTIMIZATION
Off page optimization is an important part of White Hat SEO, even important than On
Page. This is because link building is the major part of Off Page, which is taken into
consideration when assigning a page rank to the site. The techniques used in off page
are:
1. Page Rank: Page rank is link analysis algorithm, used by the search engines to
determine the quality and quantity of the links present on the website. The site is
given a rank between 1 to 10 with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest.
Each website is re-evaluated 3-4 times a year. The page social bookmarking,
blogging, etc.
The links present on the site – internal links, outgoing and incoming links should

5.1 WEB DESIGNING
A website is a highly important asset. After all, over two-thirds of small firms perform
business and connect with customers through their websites. Considering this, many
small company owners prefer to design their own website.
Why it is important?
Website is usually the first impression that people get about your organisation or
business. It's where users find out more about what you have to offer. It's also the most
probable place for leads to convert into clients.

function.

processor) skill is necessary.

Permalinks:
Permalinks are how your blog's URLs are configured. This must be changed
because the default permalinks setting is not search engine friendly. If you leave
the default configuration, you may have difficulty ranking highly in search engines.
To update your permalinks settings, go to the "Settings" section and select
"Permalinks." On a new installation, it should be set to "Default," which will result in
permalinks that look like this:

Find the "Custom Structure" section. To enable customized permalinks, click the
circle next to "Custom Structure," and then input the following in the box to the right.
This is how it should look:
%category%/%postname%
This will make your URLs more search engine friendly, and they should look
something like this:
