One big marketing tool which is becoming very popular is QR Codes. They are little black boxes that look like th image to the left. If you have a scanner on your cell phone you can scan these images and it will direct you to an ad, a website, or anything else pertaining to your business.

How can you use QR codes to benefit search marketing?

QR Codes can be used on any print that you do such as Magazines, Newspapers, Ads, Coupons, and more. They can scan the code image and be directed right to that page or ad. They can also be used on your website. If you add them to your website, the search engines will see that your pages have changed and that you are updating pages. The search engine will see a new image and index it accordingly. At some point soon, the search engines will likely recognize QR codes and possibly index the content in them.

Large or small businesses can and should use these QR Codes. Add them to any print advertising, flyers, posters, invites, TV ads etc containing:

  • Product details
