Show Your SEO & Marketing Team Some Love This Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day!

It’s that time of year again when florists up their charges 300% and the sales of chocolates goes through the roof… But why not take the time today too show your SEO team some valentines day love. Showing your SEO team that you appreciate them is always a good idea as work like link building is pretty repetitive and often unrewarding but that’s not all you can do to show your appreciation. So here’s 5 tips to show your SEO team some love this Valentines day:

1. Give them some content ideas. Chances are that you know about some amazing products and services that are not currently being promoted online. This type of information is gold dust to SEO’s who often get stuck in a rut talking about the same things time after time after time.

2. Look through your standard documentation and see if there’s anything that can be provided online for download. This goes back to the above point. Businesses often have loads of internal documentation, spreadsheets, powerpoint templates, marketing pieces and white papers, all of which add an extra tool to the SEO teams kit and can be a brilliant way of attracting new custom by giving away something for free.

3. Buy them a new marketing tool. There’s loads of brilliant online tools out there, all available for a small fee that can dramatically improve the work-flow and reduce the time it takes to source new links. Think of buying or upgrading your SEOMoz subscription, MajesticSEO, SEMRush, Ontolo, Raven or other tool-set for great results.

4. Think of some genius Valentines day link bait. Sure time is short for this year, but remember today is an annual event and anything produced specifically for valentines day 2011 can continue to deliver benefits for years to come.

5. Organise a mind-share event. Get the team around a big table and ask each member to share an issue they have. This will encourage discussion and can help disseminate information throughout the team and solve any problems that are currently causing issue.

There you go. 5 great tips to help show your SEO team that you value them.
