The operative word here is ‘relevant,’ a good SEO strategy does not make you visible to everyone; only those potential customers in the market for your product at a particular time.
The importance of brand identity
Why do people buy Apple products? It’s not necessarily because they are better computers than their near competitors. Similarly, people might buy a Toyota over a VW, not because it’s a better car but because they prefer the brand.

Make the most of social media
Social media is a powerful way to grow your business, whether you are just starting out or want to generate interest in a new product.

It allows you to gather valuable information on your target audience and honest feedback on your products. If you don’t have any social media presence, you influencers to generate interest in your brand.
Build an email list
Even if you have many followers on social media, there is no guarantee they will see your posts; add to this the fact that social media sites are continually changing their algorithms, and you see that merely relying on your social media audience could be unreliable. Luckily there are many excellent email marketing tools such as MailChimp and Constant Contact that allow you to send regular newsletters and product information to subscribers. These emails should contain honest, open communication, that adds value to how your customer experiences your brand.
Get involved in digital advertising
Digital advertising comes in many forms; there are display ads, targeted ads, pay-per-click search ads, and retargeting ads; all of which play an essential role in growing your business online. A display ad is like a digital billboard; it can appear on any user’s browser and may be unrelated to their search; these ads are better for building brand awareness than for converting customers, which can assist with a targeted ads campaign. Targeted ads are more relevant to conversions since they target and retarget customers based on their browsing behavior. If you want to grow your brand’s awareness and appeal to relevant consumers, digital ads are invaluable.
