S
ome business owners who still need to adopt an online digital marketing strategy think having a website is good enough for getting business. They assume that their prospects will visit their website and they will start getting inquiries from the contact form.
No, it’s not so.
Creating a website is a good starting point for digital marketing, but more is needed.
You may get some traffic from people whom you have met & exchanged your visiting cards during events or meetings. Even that is NOT guaranteed.
You need to drive visitors to your website, which should be your sales prospects who can convert into customers. Only then will your website help you to grow your business and expand.
Some of the other misconceptions of Online Digital Marketing are:
- Facebook Ads or Social Media Marketing is Online Digital Marketing
- SEO (Search engine Optimizing) is SEO Digital Marketing.

Digital Marketing is all of it working comprehensively and in tandem.
