Leverage Your Business Processes With Marketing Academy Group


Business Processing

Prepared for growth! That should be the motto of a business that wants to succeed. Its actions and even reactions/counter-actions must be well designed and well executed. That’s following a system. They put successful growth as your hallmark!

The system (the core and modular-s taken collectively) can make or break a business. Creating systems allows a business to run consistently without any particular reliance on any specific key group. In short, systems and processes make you earn leverage. Do more with less efforts and resources when you follow a system. Consistently!

So, welcome Business Process Automation! Transformative techniques, since its early stages, are a part of study and research at MarketingAcademyGroup; we help you to understand them and deploy software to help automation. There’s more playground in designing and streamlining processes (even prior to applying automation software) than you might think. We can get you started with the basic 5.

• High-value areas: We will identify high-value processes for the improvement to start. These are typically the ones often broken down, requiring lots of time; inputs from a specialist – absolutely the mundane stuff. You may not even know how the process works. You might just know what work goes to whom. An entire department’s work is, therefore; often too large to work with successfully if a system is not established.

• Docu-info inventory: After choosing the processes that need improvement, create an inventory to stock every document and information pieces being used in the process. Incoming or outgoing, you stuff them all! Each document or piece of information must have distinct information about it under the categories of identification, purpose, quantity, medium, security requirements, owner and storage location. Say, A receives a PO (of a certain figure, every week) from a customer and is stored in the file cabinet that’s moved yearly to long-term storage. Half of these come on papers and the other half in electronic mail and are secured to the Accounting and the Customer Service Departments. They are retained for 5-Years. This process should be mapped following a proper strategy and not getting stuck with flow charts. A whiteboard or sticky notes bring the steps around easier but the start and the end must be identified first. Filling in the middle is far easier. Just get things down logically.

• With the current state of things noted down, cross-verify with questions and see if you can identify any bottleneck; something that’s eating up time unnecessarily and issues on transparency. Any unnecessary part must go for correctly mapping the process and collaborating on improvements.

• Lastly, add an ECM/BPM software to the process. Enterprise Content Management and Business Process Outsourcing software create huge value when applied to a well-defined process by moving documents (for approval or delivery); or by notifying people about taking actions also when one is due (e.g. updating multiple systems real-time), make information instantly accessible, provide forms for data and for applying business logic to information flow.

Automate your workflow so that mundane matters can no more hold you down. Thoughts and actions are what you get when you leverage your Business Process Solutions with Marketing Academy group.

Ethical Guidelines For Search Engine Optimization


Search Engine Optimization

Offering relevant, high-quality public information in easy-to-use formats takes putting SEO practitioners to the job. They bump their employers up at higher page rankings but how many adhere voluntarily to the ethical guidelines for SEO?

Just like with politics and even, religion; SEO Ethics has more than one side to it. There are strong opinions in support; varied are the paths to a common end. A good SEO practitioner understands the ethics yet doesn’t always put them to use. But safe-SEO is good practice.

There’s a bias among some SEO practitioners towards surfer behaviour and the search engines’ and sometimes, even their clients; but in an appropriate or correct balance, they all do right. The common way of bending the balance might fulfil the needs, but it doesn’t comply with the set norm and may bring immense downfall for both the SEO-wiz and his employer. That’s it! Let’s not pass any more judgment; let’s simply look at what goes around in the circuit.

• It’s not an SEO expert will intentionally bring harm upon a client, but using any particular technology or procedure for long and without being careful with it may de-list the client’s site from the search engine indexes and directories. Best, it will be rendered inoperative. If that sounds Hebrew, let’s just say that some use potentially harmful technology or procedures; like robots!

• An Expert SEO Service person will not violate intentionally the rules and guidelines from search engines/directories. It’s just that sheer carelessness and negligence might stop taking prompt actions to comply with changes/amendments to existing rules may render a website unusable by the Search Engine(s). They will only allow delay when an instruction appeared unclear to the questioner and the person is awaiting clarification and approval from the rule-setters.

• Organic SEO practitioners bring in the consumers but some do it by misleading them, for selling a harmful product under disguise or just plain appear offending. The use of bait-and-switch (to lead surfers into a famished page that’s been optimized just with keyword or phrases) offends visitors.

• Violating copyright and trademark is simply an infringement that attracts great penalties, even from the Federal levels.

• False representation of content through different versions of the same web pages for different users is a very common practice. Sticking to information alterations under absolute requirements for browser specs and needs is rarer. Regional factors (language), product specific needs are other reasons behind altering information. Legal questions might arise otherwise.

• Using verbatim copies has plagiarism laws to be dealt with. It bumps the pages up but putting up someone else’s work -without explicit permission - as own is copyright infringement again; even a small part of it without the consent of the other party taken first.
