As already discussed here, the costs for online marketing in the B2B sector are dizzyingly high and the number of actual clicks is vanishingly small due to ad blockers and & co.
With given completion rate, English conversion rate, of 1-3% of ad clicks on average, it usually cannot pay off to generate B2B customers via search engine advertising.
An alternative customer acquisition strategy is the so-called content marketing. Here the production of articles and texts is meant, which of potential customers googgelte topics and terms and/or keywords beeinhaltet.
Content is King.
With the content strategy you have the opportunity - provided you can regularly create and provide relevant content for your target audience - to get organic traffic via the search engines for free, i.e. at least without any further advertising budget.
For this purpose, a blog area has been established on the website itself, where new content, how to's, definitions of terms or the like are posted or posted. Another advantage is that all content, with which you provide free added value and insights for your potential customers, can also be subscribed to via rss feed.
Become a customer magnet with the right content strategy
In order for the search engines to reward your efforts for creating, optimally high-quality content, in the form of a better search engine ranking and associated higher traffic, it is necessary that they regularly publish new content and entertaining texts on your website.
Make yourself a concrete plan, when and how often you want to post blogposts or articles on your website and which topics (also: in which order) should be kept. As is true everywhere, you can only expect results if you stay on the ball. Consider exactly who you want to address with your content.
The search for the right agency is often difficult. In the price battle for the best advertising spaces, it is difficult for inexpensive providers to place or appear with your ad among the first ads on the first or second. After all, the cost of a click (PPC: price per click) in Google Ads , formerly known as Google Adwords, can quickly exceed €5 and more.
The first search results or are therefore dominated primarily by providers, which bring high-priced products and services to the woman or man. With given PPC costs, it is a question of the product price or price for an average deal when providing services and the so-called conversion rate, any rate that describes the number of sales -sales - and divided by the number of clicks generated. A cost-covering ad strategy and keyword selection together with constant optimization is necessary to become cost-covering, in the best case profitable.
Therefore, in the interest of better market transparency, it makes sense to include not only those providers listed high up in the list of postential contractors, but also to find agencies and service providers who cannot (yet) afford or do not want to invest a higher share of their revenue in higher click prices.
With our databases, starting with the media & PR database , through the company database to our agency database, we make a contribution to making the market more transparent, creating visibility on for smaller providers and facilitating the choice of the appropriate agency or provider.
For example, you can discover similar providers in your city or region based on keywords and compare them with each other, filter, sort and to be able to put the entries first on a long list, later on a short list.
At the same time, our address databases represent an efficient acquisition tool for companies, agencies and service providers and offer added value in customer acquisition in the B2B sector, more precisely: for directmarketing purposes and for expanding the individual acquisition strategy.

Online marketing will still be an important part of any business strategy in 2022, but the investments made in online marketing strategies will be much higher than in previous years. The cost of online advertising and search engine marketing is rising, and it is becoming more difficult to appear on the top pages of search engine results. This means that companies investing in online marketing strategies will have to spend a lot more money than they would expect to get a good ROI.
Instead, in 2022, companies should invest more in creating high-quality content, accelerating their website speed, optimizing for search engines, and improving user experience. These areas are a much more worthwhile investment, as they have a direct impact on a website's rankings and therefore also help drive more qualified visitors to the site.
In addition, businesses should also invest in social media marketing strategies to increase their reach and build brand awareness. This can help drive more traffic to the website and generate more qualified leads. Companies can also invest in email marketing to build a stronger connection with existing customers and generate new leads.
In this way, companies can get much more out of their online marketing efforts in 2022 than if they only invest in expensive advertising campaigns.
