What Is BoddSplosion?
In a nutshell, BoddSplosion helps businesses get a fast, effective and focused online presence in multiple places. The search engines like it when they can get info about a business in more than one place and tend to push them to the top of the listings more when the content they offer is new, relevant and consistent. We set up multiple accounts for you in the places that search engines like the most and submit your content weekly to keep building a powerful online presence the right way. It is not enough to have just a website anymore. With so much available information on the web, even small businesses need to have a larger “presence” in the multitude of places people are now looking for them.
Is 10 days a realistic timeframe to get this kind of exposure?
Absolutely! We have honed a very powerful system that has already achieved these results for every client that has followed our directions. It requires minimal time and effort on your part to give us the information we need to put together a powerful profile for you. Just follow our guides when they contact you, read the emails we send you at the beginning and let us do what we do best. Giving us an article, press release and / or video is key to making this happen too.
This time frame is typical for local businesses and we frequently see results in this time frame. National Companies and very competitive industries take longer, generally 30 -120 days. The alternative is not doing anything and not coming up anywhere. We used to say 7 days but our averages have changed with some of our clients taking longer to get their infomration to us. Those who provide information quickly are still averaging 7 days or less for a solid presence.
What happens if I cannot see the results in 10 days?
Be patient! You will be able to see what we have done very quickly. Getting actual clicks form an organic campaign can take a bit longer. Of course if you want to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on sponsored ads for clicks (most of which do not produce the same results as organic click throughs) you can do that too. Getting the content out there is the hard part at the begining but also the easy part in the grand plan. Once you are out there it still requires people to do searches and click through to you when they find your info.
How do you keep your prices so low?
We have researched the top places that produce the best results. Sometimes that means using other companies, as we do with the Elite Press Release Package. Using the power of a large group (our members) we have negotiated much lower rates with some of these companies than you can find alone and combined several services together to give YOU more of an impact. We also do most of our marketing on line and through word of mouth.
Do I need a website?
NO! With all the places we set up for you, you can use either your OddBodd listing or a blog as your "go -to" place. You DO want a central place that you present as your main web presence where visitors can get your contact info and links to other places. A website is not needed and is not always possible for some businesses. However, if you can have a website, we recommend getting one. Check back for the reources page for some tips on how and where to get started.
What does ORGANIC mean?
There are 2 types of results that come up in internet searches: Paid (otherwise known as sponsored ads) and Organic. Paid ones come to the top because someone has paid for their listing to come up at the top of the search results for specific keywords, whether or not the content actually relates to your search. Example, pretty much every search will produce a sponsored result for Ebay, Amazon or another major network.
Organic results are much better because they are based, for the most part, on the actual content of the website. Relevance is key to great organic search rankings and that is what we focus on. Studies have shown that people are more likely to click on an organic search result than a paid one as it is more trustworthy.
How fast does it work?
The short answer: 2 days to 6 months. Long answer: It depends on your business, geographic focus, business type, amount of competition, strength of competition, market saturation and many, many other factors. Videos tend to get faster results as only a few businesses are using them. This creates a major advantage for you! It also depends which country you are in. (we currently help businesses in the UK, US and Canada with Australia and New Zealand opening this year.) It is also why we emphasize having a video and letting us submit it to our extensive network of sites for you. See the "Examples" page and you'll see how much difference a video can make, even it is only a slide show presentation.
Where do you post the information?
We have a list of specific social networks, "Nationally recognized" local directories, over 30 video sites, over 400 article sites, several Blog Sites, bookmarking sites and podcast sites that we choose from. We set up accounts for you on the Social Networks and Directories. The rest we send your information to based on their current "likeability" by the search engines and your subscription level. Not only do we post your information on your networks, but every time you submit something new to us, we send it out to OUR networks too. (And we have a lot more set up than you!) This could mean thousands more views every time you send something out through us. This would take months or even years to achieve alone. See here for more information.
I'm already on facebook, linked in etc. Will this help?
That's great! If you are already using those sites we can either add them to the places we submit your content to or you can continue to use them on your own. The choice is yours. Most of our members are already using 2 or 3 social networks. Some are very new and ask us to include them, others prefer to keep using them without us and benefit from the other sites we set up and send updates to. (Often more so than the Social Networks alone.) And yes, it will help. If someone meets you and decides to do a search for you, having that extra information and "knowledge" out there will give you an edge over your competition.
Should I still attend workshops on Social Media?
Absolutely! There are many experts who specialize in each of the Social Networks, Blogging and more. These workshops will help you connect with more people and learn how to deliver better quality content to distribute, instead of mainly sales material that most people put out. We recommend many nationally recognized speakers and their courses.
Do I have to do anything myself?
Yes! There will be a small amount of input needed from you at the beginning. Without it, we would not know what to put out there! You will also receive a couple of phone calls from some of the directories and will either give you a code or ask for a code for verification. When you get a code, you simply send it to us. If you are needed to give a code, we will make sure you have that info ahead of time. Connecting with people is also something you would do too. You will have access to the new email account we set up for you and can go in and check for contact requests. We recommend you focus on the top 3 networking sites for contacts.
How much time do I need to contribute personally when I take one of your packages?
Because our system is turnkey, and your Social Media marketing work is being done personally and professionally by an experienced Account Manager – you don’t have to invest any work involvement.
There are stages in each campaign, where we may need clarification on events you need posted, specials you’re offering, etc. Those questions and clarifications will be communicated back and forth with you via email. The bulk of the initial information we need to create and maintain your Social Media marketing comes from the answers of your new client questionaire. Once we have your questions answered – our Project Managers go to work for you.
I don't have a video, what do I do?
There are a few choices. You can have a local videographer shoot a video for you. Some can do a 30 second video for as low as $100. Media Students are also a good resource at local colleges.
How long does it take to get going?
From the time you register to being able to send out your first update is usually 5-7 business days. This includes working with your BoddGuide to complete a focused questionnaire, research on their part for keywords and the slide show video if needed, submitting the content to the company for review, setting up all the accounts, submitting the video to multiple sites and letting you know what to do next. Not all sites will be visible in that time. Many of the directories and blogs have extra steps that need to be addressed before you are visible and searchable. We have done this so many times we know how to go through it quickly and not miss a crucial step in the set up process. Some of the directories can take up to a month for them to review the information we submit before they approve you.
I'm not a writer, what "content" are you talking about?
Content can be something as simple as an update about what you offer this week. It can be an article about your industry, a video, a presentation, a paragraph for a blog or a story about a customer you helped. The idea is to keep building up your blog with relevant and useful information and also to keep your name in front of your contacts as often as possible.
Do you guarantee the results?
We guarantee one thing. A profound increase in YOUR visible content online. We know that the systems we use produce results. No-one can guarantee that you will come up in every search on every search engine for every keyword phrase combination. What we do guarantee is that we will use the same system for you that we use for ourselves to get consistently high rankings for focused keyword phrases in focused geographic areas. Depending on your business this could propel you to the top of the listings in a couple of days or a few months. The key is to DO it and be consistent in getting relevant targeted info out.
I noticed you put "up to" on a lot of the submission information. What does this mean?
While we submit your videos, articles and press releases to all of our contacts, not all of them will accept every submission. This is why we have strict rules about no "Business Oppoirtunity" videos, articles or press releases. Most of them would be denied. They can also be denied for different reasons, sometimes just human personality if they do not see a fit with their site. This is one of the reasons we submit to so many places. If one does not accept the submission most of the time the others will. We also take the time to resubmit any non accepted articles, press releases and videos, changing formats, titles, keywords and other attributes up to 3 times to increase acceptance.
Do we offer exclusivity?
We do not offer exclusivity in each industry. What we try to do is limit the number of businesses in any category within a certain market area. We are helping businesses across the entire US, Canada and the UK. Many businesses cross over into others territories when they market themselves and we understand this. Because we do targeted keyword phrases, each business may focus on a slightly different area of their industry too, allowing for a different demographically targeted approach.
How do I get started?

Is the owner of OddBodd available to speak at our organization / chamber of commerce etc?
Yes. Use the contact form to submit a request and we will contact you.
