Did you know that having a physical address and a legitimate phone number is
actually extremely important for your Print on Demand or Shopify dropshipping store it
actually impacts your Facebook and Google ads organic ranking and general
store scaling I'll tell you how it impacts all of this in a second and if
you're thinking well I don't want to use my personal details and phone numbers
well you don't have to and you shouldn't be in the first place so let's go as I
mentioned as a digital marketer I have a lot of knowledge bombs and tips and
tricks to pass on to you that I haven't seen other gurus talking about knowledge
if you're looking for completely free digital marketing knowledge from a
digital marketing manager that you can apply to you Philly at stores your drop
shipping stores or whatever online business it is then be sure to subscribe
if you haven't already so anyway like I said if you don't have your contact
phone number or contact address down at the bottom of your footer of your
Shopify store or in the contact page you're actually not doing yourself any
favors I'm going to get into digital marketing complexities here but what is
happening when you set up your ads on Facebook or Google once that in the
review phase a crawler comes into your sites and starts crawling your website
and checking for specific features on your site this but then verifies a lot
of different elements on your website and make sure that things like your
phone number and physical address is on your website platforms like Facebook and
Google want to ensure that they're not pushing their users onto dodgy websites
essentially by having a legitimate phone number and address Google and Facebook
recognizes this and then allocates a higher ad relevance and a high quality
score to your ad which means lower cost for the ad and you'll deliver more
impressions to your ads so it's a win-win situation so what I recognize is
that a lot of drop shippers tend to neglect these two elements on their
website and understandably so it's not easy so not cheap to get your own phone
number or phone physical address onto your website but these two elements are
actually extremely important and even things like Google Shopping ads which is
becoming increasingly popular in the dropshipping space because they're
highly effective and I might do another video and not separately but even things
like organic search and/or game ranking this sort of stuff is extremely
important so you need to have a phone number and you need to have a physical
address on your website ok so here's the trick in the lazy man's way of getting
yourself a phone number and a legitimate address without using your personal
information without opening a p.o box and without getting a new mobile phone
or a new SIM card what you want to do is use a virtual phone system and a digital
mail forwarder and location the direct links are down below if you want to set
up your virtual phone system and physical address for yourself but as
always I'm gonna jump to my laptop here and got cheese guys through the exact
tools that I'm talking about so let's get into it
so grasshopper is actually my go-to virtual phone number that I use on a
consistent basis it's very easy to use and very easy to set up a virtual free
toll-free number and if you'd like you can also set up local number so in this
case whether you're serving a global or local community you go with a number
courting me so for example if you're serving or talking to people outside the
US then you would like to go for a 1-800 number and you can also go specific to
your niche so let's say if I was selling donuts you can literally buy a 1-800
donuts phone number so that's pretty that's a pretty neat feature there and
also over all I just wanna talk through the the importance I guess of having a
number on your website because a lot of dropshipping stores they do not provide
a number and you know there's a lot of perks are using a number and it's very
importantly scale for example it's faster service overall in a few things
resolve an issue or get question answered faster than a phone call and
it's a really great customer experience so it's easier to build rapport I'm you
only be talking directly to your customers I also mentioned my previous
videos that high priced items or high ticket drop shipping is very is the way
to go it's my recommendation and if you are going down that route building trust
is also point thing and there's no easier way to
build trust by having a phone number and you know if you're selling a really big
expensive item you better have a phone number because
the more expensive the items the more likely your customers will want to talk
to you before pulling the trigger so this is a very very easy way to set up a
phone number and if you didn't already know it's no you do not need to be you
know operating the phone phone calls all day every day
you can also wrap this out to a VA which is what I've done in the past so
essentially there's a call forwarding feature here and you can literally push
this out to your virtual assistant that you have hired and they'll take the
calls for you on a daily basis now the amount of conversions you get based off
the back of having a custom virtual phone number warrants the cost of the
monthly setup fee and the the hiring of the VA as well so for me it worked
pretty well of course you don't need a phone number but as well there are
benefits of having a phone number on your site like I mentioned in terms of
ads SEO organic ranking all that sort of stuff and I always just go for solo
that's all you need at max usually unless you've scaled your dropshipping
store to a huge brand in itself I use one number and you get a few extensions
for that price anyway so like I said much cheaper than buying
a phone number getting you SIM card all that sort of stuff and this gives you
the ability to adapt virtually any way so that's how you get a phone number for
your dropshipping store very easily the next thing on the go onto is how to get
a physical address and my recommendation is earth class email this has worked
really well for me as well you can literally get a physical location and
then get everything sent to that location electronically so you do not
need to receive the invoices or the letters or whatever you're receiving so
you know again depending on and where you where you're based
you can select a specific location based on where your store wants to be set up
so if we go into virtual addresses and explore which cities available if we go
down and this will show you a map of the US so San Francisco for example I know
for a fact that San Francisco has really really high rental fees so your best
going off with this solution rather than obviously rent to have an office and but
of course this is dependent on your business set up your business needs etc
or for a simple drop shipping so this is more than more than you need so with
this you can just click on the locations what they have available and that
multiple addresses available and then you can go ahead and literally create
this specific box or this specific full address and you can choose to use this
address and this will legally be your address like no someone else can't come
in and use this address as well which is awesome so as you can see you know
there's our mail scanning cloud storage full-text search check deposit bill pay
they give you all these range of services allowing you to basically
receive all the mail within your phone or within your laptop from a physical
location because what happens is all this mail or whatever comes through as a
business address and they scan it to your email and that's basically what
happens so again this is another quick fire and surefire way to set up a
physical location really really quickly and again this will have significant
perks in terms of again ranking organically there's a lot of SEO
strategies around this you can set up a Google my business listing around this
address and also on top of that you're able to establish for example Google my
shopping ads because you need a physical location of a Google my shopping ads you
also have the perk of having higher admiral add relevancy and also quality
score because you have in physical locations so ads are gonna be in favor
of you in comparison to other deductions that do not have a
phone number or do not have a physical address so that's my recommendations
here earth glass mail and grasshopper is the previous software that I've used in
the past to basically set up a physical location and a real phone number without
the hassles of anything else and it's all digital as well which is amazing so
I'm all the way here in Australia and I can target specifically American
businesses with an American number with American address it's pretty amazing
there we have it a very easy and simple way to get your virtual phone number and
a virtual address like I said in the past is very important to separate your
personal details with your business details and surprisingly it's actually
very important that you do have your address and phone number on the footer
and on the contact us page of your Shopify store also before I wrap up this
