Factoring services for oil and gas companies 

Factoring services for oil and gas companies 

Factoring services for oil and gas companies 

If you own an oil and gas company in North America, then you will know that this region is currently experiencing a surge in production. Thanks to new oil drilling technologies, energy legislation and alternative funding models, more companies are able to capitalize on this production boom and take their oil and gas companies to the next level.

The problem that many oil and gas companies experience, however, is ensuring that they have a steady cash flow in order to fund costly expenses that are part and parcel of the oil industry. Whether you need to fund crane hire, rigs, water haulers, or any other piece of equipment, you will know that suppliers require cash. This can be difficult if you’re waiting more than 30, 60, or 90 days to receive payments from your clients.

Rank for Your Target Keywords in 4 Simple Steps

Rank for Your Target Keywords in 4 Simple Steps

Do you want to rank in Google for keywords that matter to your business? As a top provider of SEO services in South Africa, we have helped many brands rank organically for their target keywords, boosting their visibility and market reach. Here are four steps that have anchored all the campaigns we have run for clients:

Find Keywords that Are Relevant for Your Business and that You Can Realistically Rank For 

Using the right keywords in your website content is of the utmost importance. While there are various keyword research tools that you can utilise, you can do keyword research for free by simply thinking about what your potential customers may be typing into Google or by utilising Google suggest. 

Start typing out what your company does in the Google search bar and see what automatically pops up. This is a good indication of what people are searching for. Include these phrases in any content that you publish, as well as in your website’s base content. If you would like to target a specific area, mention the location in your content alongside the keywords that you have chosen. 

Ensure Your Content Is Relevant and Offers Value to Readers

Along with keywords, you will also need to ensure that the content you post is relevant, interesting and helpful. Be sure to include a few links, heading tags and alt tags for images. Also, do everything possible to maximise its readability, for instance, make use of short, concise sentences and paragraphs, bullet points and so on.

Boost Your Domain Authority with Off-Page SEO 

Your search engine optimisation is based on more than just your website. Off-page SEO is just as important as on-page SEO. It includes things like link building, guest blogging, social media and the like.

SEO Is Ever-Evolving. Test, Tweak and Refine Constantly

SEO is forever changing. So, what was important two or three years ago may no longer play as large a role in determining your rankings as of now. As such, it is essential that you are constantly monitoring your progress and keeping up to date with any relevant SEO news and SEO marketing tips. 

SEO has grown too important and technical to manage on your own. To get the most out of your SEO, engage a company that specialises in SEO services. WSI OMS is that company. You will benefit from our experience, superior tools and expertise, and will be ranking for your target keywords much faster than you will be doing it on your own.

How to Optimise Your Content for Voice Search

How to Optimise Your Content for Voice Search

Voice search is a speech recognition application, which allows users to search by saying terms aloud instead of manually typing them into a search engine. Think Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa. 

The future of web search, namely voice search is foreseen to dominate 50% of all searches by 2020. So, how do you ensure that your content pulls through these voice searches and gains the traction it deserves? Here are a few simple tricks: 

Create Content Which Keeps the Conversation Going

Instead of using random words, which are bound to produce a short list of results, ask a query or make a command that requires a response. ‘Alexa, where’s the best pizza place in my neighbourhood?’. ‘Siri, how many cards in a playing deck?’

Put Yourself in a Searcher’s Position

How do searchers ask questions? What are the words they would use out loud? Create clear and simple responses based on these questions to optimise your content for voice search. 

Less Is More. So, Keep it Simple!

You can optimise more content by keeping things simple. Forget the jargon and use clear content to amplify your message. We are doing less typing and more talking, after all. 

Cover Your Bases for Optimising All Types of Searches

Optimising existing content (with relevant search terms, familiar languages and searches) is a lot easier than creating all new voice-optimised content. The goal is to make sure that your content is optimised for all searches whether voice, mobile or desktop. 

This doesn’t sound too hard, does it? ‘…Siri, how do you optimise content for voice search?

4 Ways to Get the Best Out of Your LinkedIn Company Page

4 Ways to Get the Best Out of Your LinkedIn Company Page

Your LinkedIn Company Page is a key tool for attracting and engaging with your audience. In 2017, there were 18 million company pages on LinkedIn. Needless to say, if your business does not have a company page you are missing out on huge B2B marketing opportunities. But with that sheer volume, having a page simply is not enough. You need to have something ‘extra’ to break through the clutter and stand out.

 

  • Use Rich Media

 

Video is the future. It is believed that by 2020, close to 80% of web traffic will be driven by video. That is why it is great news that LinkedIn now offers native video for company pages. It removes the hassle of sharing content via third-party apps like YouTube or Facebook. In fact, LinkedIn found that company page videos are five times more likely to spark conversation amongst members.

Adding original, vibrant images can also boost your page’s appeal. It is a great excuse to take some in-office pictures to show off your facilities and company culture. To make your page even more visually compelling, you can include an attractive header image and change it every six months or so. Header/Banner images are a great means to promote campaigns and products or announce anything new your company is up to.

 

  • Shorten Your Updates

 

When posting updates, LinkedIn recommends keeping them as short as possible. 150 characters or less to be exact. With little room to talk, you cannot babble, so being concise, relevant, interesting and engaging is a must. Try to ask a thought-provoking question or spark a debate about the newest trends and insights in your industry.

 

  • Use the 4-1-1 Rule

In a nutshell, the 4-1-1 rule states that if you share an original piece of content (about yourself or your company), you must share an update from another source and four other pieces of content written by other people.

The rule keeps your feed diverse and ensures that the focus remains on your audience’s interests as opposed to it being a bulletin board for all your company news.

 

  • Create a showcase page

 

Showcase Pages are extensions of your Company Page. They allow you to single out a specific brand, business unit or project and tailor your message to a particular niche within your target audience. It is a great tool if your company has a number of unique product offerings aimed at varying audience demographics.
