Why Privacy-Focused Analytics Tools Aren’t Used More

November 13, 2020 by Alex Ramadan Leave a Comment

There are many choices when it comes to web analytics tools, but only one is considered the default: Google Analytics. This might not be a huge issue, but in an ever-increasing privacy-focused world, why don’t the privacy-forward analytics tools get used more often? Why are they not the standard?

A Win for Users and a Headache for Marketers

August 26, 2020 by Alex Ramadan 2 Comments

2020 has been interesting for several reasons, and search marketing is no exception. Between privacy-focused web initiatives, political unrest on the web, and economic changes driven by a pandemic, search marketers have a lot to adapt to. 

We’ll dive into why marketers—especially PPC or paid ad marketers—will have to adapt or have their marketing campaigns die.

Re-Engaging with a Previous Client

May 13, 2020 by Alex Ramadan Leave a Comment

Working in an agency can sometimes feel like a revolving door of clients. They come, stay for a while, and then leave. At that point, you probably won’t see that client again, usually for reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of work you provided them. That is just the nature of working in an agency.

Luckily, working at UpBuild has given us the chance to re-engage with many of our past clients and optimize our process for doing so.

Optimizing Deliverables for Maximum Usefulness

March 4, 2020 by Alex Ramadan Leave a Comment

With every deliverable UpBuild sends to a client, our primary goal is to ensure the end user can understand the document as thoroughly as possible without needing to ask us additional questions. We don’t mind questions, of course (we love them actually!), but we realize our client’s time is limited. Our time is limited. We don’t want to waste the time we do have discussing something that could have been avoided had we taken the extra step to answer it in the deliverable already.

To achieve this goal, we spend time making sure everything we send out looks a certain way, follows specific guidelines, and ultimately successfully educates the reader on the issue, what the next step should be, and who is responsible for it. 

Before sending anything to a client we always ask ourselves, “will this make someone’s day better?”

In this post, I’ll go over some ways UpBuild builds its deliverables so that they provide the maximum value to the client.

The Mixed Content Apocalypse and How to Stay Ahead of It

November 22, 2019 by Alex Ramadan Leave a Comment

Google will begin to protect users more aggressively from otherwise-secure websites that load insecure resources in the coming releases of Google Chrome. This type of content is known as “mixed content,” or serving content using different security protocols (HTTPS or HTTP). Google will begin to block resources from loading on an HTTPS website if the resources are not secure or using HTTPS.

What this means for your website is if you have image files, CSS, JavaScript, or third-party resources that your site relies on for display or functionality purposes, they might not work in Chrome if they are not secure. The results could end up being as small as one image not showing up, or as catastrophic as your site no longer working properly in Chrome to a non-secure JavaScript file.

If you’re currently relying on insecure resources, this change has the potential to be bad for your website, your business, and your users. [Read more…] about The Mixed Content Apocalypse and How to Stay Ahead of It
