It is impoortant to make it attractive for the user to stay and look at the services you are offering. Before working with Mary her Thriving Fast website was not in the Top 3 searches on Google. Instead there was another Thriving Fast business (thrivingfast.ie) which was a similiar addiction recovery centre ran by two brothers in Texas. This was a problem because the top position gets the most traffic.

 Bing reports that websites on the top get 42% of the traffic; the second gets 11% and third only gets 8%. So, it clearly indicates why your websites needs to be on top (Sukhraj, 2017).

If your website becomes visible on top, that would mean more authenticity and trust which are obvious elements for more leads and traffic.

As I am very interested in leanring more about Google, I took on task and followed the steps in creating the panel. This is something I learned to do in John Cowpers Digital Technologies Moduel in 2nd year. With this learning I was able to transfer my Digital Marketing skills to a real work enviroment task.

A knowledge panel is useful if you want your business to be found usign search terms such as brand, business name or keywords. If Google decides to show your business in this panel, your business will pretty much dominate the search results on the webiste display page. 

Therefore, the knowledge panel will make sure your company or brand will stand out in the search results when people are specifically searching for it. This is will give lots and lots of clicks. The first step was selecting which keywords to use to intergrate with the website search. ]]> 2021-04-30 23:35:53 UTC https://padlet.com/conorsully989898/ryu6qbpbp88r/wish/1480218420 conorsully989898 https://padlet.com/conorsully989898/ryu6qbpbp88r/wish/1480219358 These are the keywords recommended by Google to use in relation to 'Addiction Recovery for Lawyers'.

From my Marketing Strategy Model with Jennifer Thorthan I learned that behind every great brand is a fundamental core brand message, compact statement that declares why the brand matters, what it stands for and how it stands apart from competitors. 

As you can see, Thriving Fast had clear no branding or brand strategy on their Instagram. There was no clear bio, colour shceme, brand colours, link to website, wasn''t a business account and had no logo. ]]> 2021-05-01 14:56:14 UTC https://padlet.com/conorsully989898/ryu6qbpbp88r/wish/1480984757 conorsully989898 https://padlet.com/conorsully989898/ryu6qbpbp88r/wish/1480986778 2021-05-01 14:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/conorsully989898/ryu6qbpbp88r/wish/1480986778 conorsully989898 https://padlet.com/conorsully989898/ryu6qbpbp88r/wish/1480987759 2021-05-01 14:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/conorsully989898/ryu6qbpbp88r/wish/1480987759 conorsully989898 https://padlet.com/conorsully989898/ryu6qbpbp88r/wish/1481013062 This the Thriving Fast Instagram page today, by adding the logo and brand colours throughout the page added more character and strength to the business. Our strategy was mainly focused on can raising brand awareness and reach out to the target audience by keeping an active presence and maintaining a routine of at least one post per day.]]> 2021-05-01 15:22:21 UTC https://padlet.com/conorsully989898/ryu6qbpbp88r/wish/1481013062 conorsully989898 https://padlet.com/conorsully989898/ryu6qbpbp88r/wish/1481021720 Due to the target market 25-44 San Fransico Lawyers, I felt that the Instagram page had the potential to be the bigger sales service for the business. 

With that said, within the first month of posting Thriving Fast content reached over 500 acounts and had 72 content interactions. For me, I feel the reason for these numbers is because the page was established as more reliable. ]]> 2021-05-01 15:30:05 UTC https://padlet.com/conorsully989898/ryu6qbpbp88r/wish/1481021720 conorsully989898 https://padlet.com/conorsully989898/ryu6qbpbp88r/wish/1481049250 From the following demographic we can see that 34% of our audience engagment was coming from the USA with 25-34 making up 17% and 35-44 making up 26%. ]]> 2021-05-01 15:54:06 UTC https://padlet.com/conorsully989898/ryu6qbpbp88r/wish/1481049250 conorsully989898 https://padlet.com/conorsully989898/ryu6qbpbp88r/wish/1482923834 To start of, it was important to highlight Mary's story and how she ended up in this line of work.

Therefore, our strategy was to create more organic and deep content discussing different aspects of recovery. We went with a Funnell technique that would explain the topic (What is Addiction?) how it is relevant to the target audience (Why are Lawyers so Addicted?)  and how to solve the problem (The 5 Keys to Overcome Addiction). ]]> 2021-05-02 19:18:29 UTC https://padlet.com/conorsully989898/ryu6qbpbp88r/wish/1482952437 conorsully989898 https://padlet.com/conorsully989898/ryu6qbpbp88r/wish/1482973884 2021-05-02 19:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/conorsully989898/ryu6qbpbp88r/wish/1482973884 conorsully989898 https://padlet.com/conorsully989898/ryu6qbpbp88r/wish/1482994113 Creating these carousels is a great way for companies to tell a visual story. One of the biggest benefits of Instagram Carousel posts is that you can share more in-depth content without overwhelming your followers' Instagram feeds.

As you can see, the insights for each carousel was hitting similar numbers besides this carousel. The reason for that is due to this carousel speaking directly to lawyers.

While Instagram limits the duration to 60 seconds for Feed videos, this feature allows you to upload up to 60 minutes of video from the web (or 15 minutes if you upload from mobile). This gives you a much better opportunity to tell engaging and compelling stories through video (Zote, 2021). It provides the perfect opportunity to reuse your popular video content and give it new life (Weber, 2018). 

For Thriving Fast, I used IGTV to make a short 2 part series called 'Motivation Monday'. The idea generated from creating a healthy mindset. Since Mary lives in the peaceful countryside I thought it would be great content idea to create a calm, peaceful video completion of the joys of nature. The video promotes a positive mindset to the audience by telling them to relax, take a deep breath and have a break by joining us in a walk in the country as part of staying motivated on a Monday Morning.

The aim of WWIL is to raise awareness about mental health and encourage action and innovation across the profession to improve well-being.
