ARISTOTLE - 401 West Capitol Ste 700—Little Rock,Arkansas 72201 - 501.374.4638/1.800.995.2747 - ARISTOTLEINTERACTIVE.COM 4 INTERACTIVE MARKETING TACTICS CONTENT MARKETING & CALENDAR ........................................ ...................................... ........ .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... ....... "Content marketing" is a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly-defined audience—and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action. Content marketing's purpose is to attract and retain customers by consistently creating and curating relevant and valuable content with the intention of changing or enhancing consumer behavior. It is an ongoing process that can be integrated into an overall marketing strategy. Strategic content planning and creation is also a great way to enhance search engine optimization, increasing user engagement and reducing bounce rate. BBB and Aristotle will work together to coordinate a six-month content calendar that plans for content creation for the BBB homepage and interior pages of the website, social and email marketing. This process includes bi-weekly content planning and strategy meetings (1.5 hours in length) meetings with BBB content creators to plan for six months of Web, social and email content.

It is the "page heading"for each individual page and is usually displayed as the headline in search engine results.) 404 errors (These error states that the requested site cannot be found and are not included in search engines' indices. Since each inaccessible domain costs crawling potential this can mean that important pages will not be crawled by the search engines.) 4XX errors (These errors prevent the indexation of a document by search engines. 403 errors (These errors indicate that access to the requested URL is prohibited. This usually occurs when the user's authentication has failed.) Duplicate or missing meta description tags (A page's meta description is a descriptive text in search engine results. It describes a page's content in around 160 characters. Each page should have an individual meta description.) Many dynamic URL parameters (A high number of dynamic parameters in a URL can indicate that the parameters will be used for sorting. Search engines treat URLs with different parameters as separate URLs. If there is only a slight change in the content of the page, you will end up producing duplicate content.) Internal broken links (Internal links that do not link to accessible URLs influence the crawling behavior of search engines in a negative way.) Title too short or too long (Title tags are the "headlines"for each pages and is usually shown as a headline in search results. The page's content should be outlined in the title tag in a single sentence with a maximum of 70 characters.) Mixed redirects (A mixed redirection is the description of different one after the other occurring redirections.) 30X redirects (Search engines normally recommend the use of so-called permanent redirections. Other redirects may be used, but are not recommended because they do not transmit link strength.) Dead-end links (These are pages that are linked to internally, but that have no outgoing internal links or these links are marked as nofollow by using meta nofollow.) Long loading time (The longer a page's load time, the greater the chances that visitors will quickly leave the page again, and sooner or later the page will end up with worse rankings in search engine results.) 301 redirects (A permanent redirection signals to the visitor and search engines that an outdated URL was called and automatically redirects to the new(current) URL.) Noindex tags (This is an instruction to search engines to not include a page in search indices.) Canonicals (This signals to search engines that there is a page with similar content that should be preferred over the current one.) 4. Monthly Update Reports a. On-page SEO updates completed b.

Paid search is one of the most cost-effective forms of advertising and continues to see growth as search engine giants like Google and Bing further refine their search algorithms. It is a KEY part of a search engine marketing strategy Additionally, we know from Google studies that paid search is an essential part of an overall marketing plan to move users to web conversion. The following graphic was compiled from Google's analysis of millions of consumer interactions through Google Analytics. The search giant distilled this data to show how different marketing channels affect online conversion decisions. For an organization in the travel industry like Bikes, Blues & BBQ, data shows that paid search is crucial to inspiring a customer who knows about BBB but has yet to take a desired action (visit the website, spend time engaging with content, sign up for enews, purchase merchandise).

This is an incredible opportunity for BBB! This$10,000 will be used for media pass-through. BBB will only be charged Aristotle's media management fee. This fee is usually 15% of the pass-through costs; however, because BBB is a charitable organization, Aristotle will reduce our fee to 13.5% or$1,350/Mo. SOCIAL MEDIA PROMOTIONS ..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.-_......... Aristotle recommends limited social media paid advertising for smaller promotions in the months leading up to the rally to increase engagement. These promotions could be as simple as"Tell us your favorite motorcycle route in Arkansas and enter to win a free Bikes Blues and BBQ t-shirt!"These posts can be inexpensively promoted and scheduled via the content calendar.

We're pleased to inform you that Bikes Blues & Barbeque Inc. has been approved for Google Ad Grants. We're glad to have you as part of the program and we hope that your AdWords grant will help you find additional support for your nonprofit. IMPORTANT: Please note that the AdWords system and interface is designed for our paying advertisers. You may find that some features or advertising opportunities may be restricted within your account. It's important to learn the key differences between a Google Ad Grants account and a regular AdWords account, and set your account settings accordingly. Google Ad Grants accounts: • have a daily budget set to USD 330 dollars total for ALL campaigns, which is equivalent to about USD 10,000 per month • have a maximum cost-per-click(CPC) limit of USD 2.00 • only run keyword-targeted campaigns • only run text ads • only run ads on Google search result pages and not on the Google Network • run ads for as long as your organization remains actively engaged with your AdWords account •per Google Ad Grants guidelines, you are required to log in and manage your account at least once per month. Failure to log in for three consecutive months may result in your account being automatically cancelled or paused. If any of your settings are not according to the Google Ad Grants guidelines,please make the adjustments to your account now. Below are some very important steps you'll need to take, so please read this carefully. 1. Create your campaigns Please note that although your account is now active, you still need to set up your campaigns in order to start running. When you're ready to start, please sign in to your account at www.adwords.google.com and create your first campaign. Learn how to create your campaign at: https://support.google.com/iionprofits/answer/I 689506?hl=en Your ads should begin to run once you've created your campaign. If you want to preview how your ad looks,use the Ad Preview Tool at www.google.com/AdPreview. Learn more at https:Hsupport.google.com/adwords/answer/1704363?hl=en. 2. Monitor your campaign performance Once you've created your campaigns, it's very important that you enable the Quality Score column within your account and monitor this column on a daily basis for the first 2-4 weeks; this can take as little as 5 minutes a day if your account is performing well. Quality Score is a vital measure of your campaign's performance, and the first few weeks are when your account will earn its initial quality score. Here's how to enable the quality score column within your account: https:Hsupport.google.com/adwords/answer/24540 10?hl=en. In tandem with your Quality Score, you should monitor your clickthrough rate (CTR)which shows how often people who see your ad actually click it. Ideally, you should aim to have a CTR that is above I% for each of your keywords; the higher the CTR, the better. Here are some things you can do if a keyword has a CTR of less than I%, meaning that it generates a lot of impressions but very few clicks: -Pause or delete that keyword;poorly performing keywords can lower your Quality Score, which can prevent your account from being able to show ads at all. -Move the keyword to its own ad group with an ad that relates more directly to that keyword. For example, the keyword "elementary school scholarships" might perform better in an ad group whose ad has "Elementary School Scholarships" as the headline in the ad text. - Combine a singular keyword with other keywords to make it more specific. For example, change "scholarship" to "elementary school scholarship." -Add more negative keywords to your account - Search Google for the keyword to learn more about the other search and sponsored link results showing for that keyword. This can help give you ideas for rewriting and differentiating your ad. As always, when making changes and additions to your AdWords account, we strongly encourage you to only include highly targeted and relevant keywords specific to your organization. The addition of irrelevant and general keywords can negatively impact account performance and may stop the delivery of your ads.

BIDES BLUES 5 BBQ FAVETTEUILLE ARMSAS I USA During February, 2014, Mediavision2020 conducted an in-depth analysis of Bikes Blues & BBQ's website and Facebook traffic. The following pages detail the results and analysis of our findings. We found a high level of visitor loyalty and engagement from visitors throughout the United States, especially during the event month of September. The BBB visitor is a highly desirable consumer with disposable income and interests in a variety of categories ranging from technology to real estate and travel. The usability and multi-device responsiveness of the website ranks well above it's competitors in the industry. The BBB Facebook page has over 131 ,000 current likes and is growing at a very impressive rate. One of the stand-out stats is the average 1 ,000,000 reach per day during the month of September. This high level of reach indicates a very engaged fan base. Perhaps the most encouraging data of all is that the 2014 growth recorded on both the website and on Facebook have come from organic, non-paid traffic sources leaving tremendous opportunity to reach an even larger audience in 2015.
