It is easy to forget that crucial step in a local branding campaign. It sounds to me like your clients are lucky to have you looking out for them. You are absolutely right about competitors not doing it. Like I tell me clients; if it sounds real "easy to do" then it is real easy not to do as well and that's why most people don't do it.

Yes, you are correct, competitors can do these things too, however most of my clients (Actually all) of their competitors are doing none of these. However, as you said competitors can perform these tactics themselves. Please remember that I was cautious to say "Perhaps" dominate, and "Over time." There are no guarantees...But My clients all have done well for now.:) Lastly, don't forget Facebook gets indexed by the search engines, so information, rss, etc. gets cached, so although you may not interact with people, the "Branding" and SEO results are worth it. Thomas,

All your competitors can do these things...and everybody can't be at the top of the SERPS. But it's all in the execution. Write a really good blog and it will help. Otherwise, not so much. Have a really good "viral" video idea and it will help. Create a dull/hokey video, not so much. Not sure how many people will want to interact with Pest Control on Facebook, but it's worth trying, especially if you have some hook. And that's true about all this stuff, really, since it's all essentially "free" (except your time).

There is some real 'meat' in this article, and I appreciate you sharing the details regarding Accurate Termite Control and the steps to establishing a profitable brand online. Really, this is the best chance companies have for additional growth and revenue right now. I know with the fragile economy, my consulting requests have also taken a more 'seriousness' to them. Never before has real result based advice (NOT vaporware) been so critical. Thanks again for the valuable advice. Keep up the good work. Perfect timing Ty!
