Joey Armstrong Explains It All

  Joey Armstrong is an expert in just about all phases of marketing. One of his favorite tools is Cision.com. Yes, Cision can be used for press releases, which can be nice when companies he works with have something strong to announce. However, his favorite part of Cision is the ability to leverage their vast range of contacts in television, radio, podcasts, websites, and more. These outlets are constantly in search of experts to contribute to their platform. It is up to marketers like Joey Armstrong to help take advantage of those opportunities. Cision allows for emails to be sent to up to 5,000 different outlets. The truth is that it is very rare for any pitch to appeal to this large of an audience. One method is to cast a wide net with a pitch to the audience of 5,000 and see what comes back. One thing marketers should understand is that this methodology will alienate a lot of the audience who receives the email. They have an opportunity to unsubscribe to a mailing list. When...

  Joey Armstrong believes a lot of digital marketing is about learning how to work smarter, not harder. Take for instance the many Google tools that are available for free to all users.

  As a leading marketing advisor, Joey Armstrong is often asked about different link building tactics. One of the most popular link building tactics in the early days of SEO was to take advantage of broken link building. Broken link building consists of finding links on websites that no longer work, reaching out to the owner of the site to let them know a link is broken and asking if one of your company’s links could replace it. It can be a truly great way to both gain a great backlink for your website and help another webpage out by lessening the number of dead links on their site. The reason people doubt the effectiveness of broken link building is because it is hard work. Effective broken link building is going to come with denials even when a marketer finds a website with a broken link that could be filled by a link to one of their resources. This can be deflating. The key is to cast a wide net and accumulate as many opportunities as possible. Joey Armstrong believes this ca...

Joey Armstrong is often asked how brands can make this happen and how long it will take to optimize a plan properly? Did you know that already almost a quarter of searches are done via voice technology? The first thing to consider when coming up with a voice search plan is how the voice search algorithm works.
