A few things happening:

1) Google makes shopping ads free worldwide.

2) Walmart and Target announce their own versions of Amazon Prime Day 2020.

3) Say goodbye to hold music: Google Assistant can now wait on hold instead of you.

4) Google says changing web layout can affect rankings.

5) Amazon promoting small business sellers with $10 Prime day credit.

Have an awesome weekend!

EMAIL MARKETING

A great marketing tactic that is still working very well in many B2B industries today is cold email.

Cold email is sending relevant offers to targeted individuals through email, typically without you having any established relationship with the recipient. Be cautious, as missteps here can classify you as SPAM, dumping your communication straight into the “Spam” folder.

When cold email is done correctly, and with empathy, it’s very possible to start up conversations that lead to sales.

It may make sense for you, or your clients, to have a low-and-slow cold email campaign running at all times. A few targeted outbound emails sent each day to a hand-picked list of targets is a great supplement to bring in prospects for B2B sales.

The meta description is an HTML attribute used to describe what a page is about. It can appear in search results as a snippet under the title tag to provide more context.

Even though the meta description attribute is not a ranking factor and Google shows it in search results only 62.78% of the time, it’s still a part of on-page SEO that content publishers often encounter.
