At Digital Visibility Strategies, we are your digital marketing consultant. We provide guidance, support, and the tools you need to make more sales and increase profits.
Read more about the 6 Step Buying Process Below.
#1 - Knowing You Exist
Potential clients find out you exist by searching for the products or services you offer. 97% of buyers discover a local business via the internet.
They find you on Google’s organic search listings, AdWords, your Google Map Listing, sites like Yelp, Angie’s List, Thumbtack, and various other online sources.
#2 - Liking You
Once a potential client knows you exist, they start to research your company. 53% of buyers will check out a company on social media before making a purchase.
This means it is mission-critical to have an easy to manage social media presence.
#3 - Trusting You Will Deliver
Trust is the key decision factor in potential clients deciding if they are willing to work and engage with you. To develop trust, potential clients investigate your online reputation.
93% of buyers read online reviews before buying. So, it is important to manage and respond to all online reviews.
Steps 1, 2 & 3 (Your "Know, Like, and Trust Factor") mean it is critical for your business to be seen in the right places and have the social proof that shows you deliver as promised.
#4 - Compelling Offer
When a client "Knows You", "Likes You" and "Trusts You", they are ready to hear your compelling offer and are open to buying.
A compelling offer is irresistible, aimed directly at your target market, and gets them to take immediate action.
#5 - The Conversion
Conversion is when the purchase takes place, and the buyer moves from potential client to client. The goal is to make this shift intuitive and easy.
#6 - Influencing Future Buyers & Creating Social Proof
To keep the buying cycle going, you need current clients to influence future buyers by leaving positive reviews and talking about you on social media. This creates social proof.
Social proof is a psychological principle. It guides people who are unsure or uncertain to look to others for guidance in making decisions.
91% of buyers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations.
Fortunately, 71% of satisfied clients will recommend a business if asked to leave a review.
This means you need a repeatable process to ask for, follow up, and track new reviews.
