From our OKD Family to yours, #HappyFathersDay.

As always, we have been keeping our out for the latest industry trends and tech solutions ESPECIALLY during these times. We are noticing more brands are pivoting to a more #eCommerce based approach, which is fantastic and for those that are already digitally savvy these brands are also pivoting to find new and refreshing ways to connect with their audiences. One of these being, Instagram. Instagram is testing a range of new, in-stream shopping tools, including Shops and... the expansion of shopping tags. SOME Instagram profiles now have the ability to add product tags in their POST CAPTIONS, which, when tapped, take you through to a shoppable product page. #Instagram has been testing the option with a small group of accounts in the US that are currently able to use the Checkout function Have you seen any on your feed yet It's definitely an interesting addition, providing another way to get Instagram users to tap on your products. ICYMI - businesses can already use Shopping Tags, which appear in post images, BUT this would essentially enable users to double-down, giving you another clickable link in each post. It may become more accessible once Instagram rolls out Shops, but right now, it's still fairly limited. But, hey - we’ll keep watching it and will let you know when this new IG feature rolls out because that’s what we do! Contact OKD to learn more about how the latest social media tools and innovations can help set your business apart from the others.

If you’re just getting started with search engine optimization it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by information overload, but there are quite a few simple things you can do to start you on a highly effective SEO journey. Here are 5 of the best (and easiest) SEO tip for your brand in 2020: 1. LEARN THE MOST IMPORTANT RANKING FACTORS Knowledge is power. Knowing overpowers fear. Start there. Start by doing some reading on the key factors assigned by Google as being important to how ...your site performs in search and where you rank on search results pages. 2. OPTIMIZE FOR MOBILE It’s no secret that we live in a world where everybody has their eyes glued to a mobile phone so, you’ll want to keep up with the times. Why? Because: 58% of searches in Google are done from a mobile device. 27.8 billion more search queries performed on mobile than desktop. 3. CREATE GREAT CONTENT THEN OPTIMIZE IT! Write the kind of content you’d like to read interesting, funny, useful, engaging; then optimize that content for search engines. PLEASE don’t start out by picking your keywords and massaging content to match. 4. UNDERSTAND YOUR USERS/AUDIENCE: Think about how your users might be searching to find your website. What is their search intent? What are they really looking for? Understanding search intent, the reasoning behind every search, can help inform your site content and SEO approach. 5. FOCUS ON A GREAT USER EXPERIENCE AND SPEEDY PAGE LOAD TIMES! If your site is unattractive, slow to load (more than 2 seconds), difficult to navigate, buries important information, or makes it tricky to find things, you can say Bye Felicia to your visitors faster than you can say ‘user experience’. THEKEYTOTHISISPAGESPEED Are you curious about other ways to help your brand climb the SEO ranks? Do you already know what you have to but can’t find the time to do it? Contact OKD today to discuss how we can help elevate your brand!
