Customers and search engines have one big thing in common - what they want is answers to questions and solutions for their needs. Google’s primary job is to deliver the best information for the question posed. Customers reward valuable information by staying on websites longer and sharing it with their friends (which also tells Google that they should send more traffic). This is all wrapped up in the digital content that you make available online on your home care website and through social networks. Make your home care marketing content online both intentional and functional for your business with these insights.

What your employees say about your company matters. If a brand is the sum total of customer experiences with a company or organization, then what is an employer brand?  It’s the total experience of an individual as an employee.  The employer brand sums up their experience beginning from the first moment they learn about your company, through the process of applying for work, and then their experiences within the company culture.  Just like a customer, employees have a story to tell about the company. Your customers are telling your brand story, but so are your employees.
