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.
In the first part we have discussed the paid measures in the online marketing area.
Another way to attract traffic, i.e. website visitors - and hopefully enough potential customers - to your website is the so-called content marketing.
Content marketing is all about knowledge, in the form of entertaining and informative articles that you provide to your visitors for free on your website. On the one hand, articles serve as a confidence-building measure, on the other hand, you save the previously mentioned high PPC click prices and can ideally, in addition, through the content and the thematic focus, i.e. also through the selection and use of certain keywords and words, target your desired target group or desired customers better than with the possibilities in Google Ads, for example.
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.
Many B2B companies, agencies and service providers wonder how you can achieve more customer inquiries, leads and sales without increasing your online marketing budget - i.e. Google Ads budget, for example.
One viable way is so-called content marketing. The goal of content marketing is to attract interested parties and potential buyers or customers for your products and services by means of texts (content) like a magnet. This is done with short informative texts, with the help of which you provide your future clientele with a free sample of your competence and expertise. In this way you establish trust and the customer an initial relationship with your offer.
It is important to optimize the texts or your content directly with regard to search engine findability, i.e. they should be created directly search engine optimized (SEO optimized). All thematically relevant keywords must be included in the text. In addition, it is a good idea to use the search queries in question form (Ex. "How to create a press release?"), which potential customers might enter in the search engines such as Google, as headings or subheadings in order to achieve more organic search hits and thus website visitors.
If the texts you create or have written as part of content marketing are thematically relevant, entertaining as well as search engine optimized, there is a good chance that you will receive relevant search queries in the search engines such as Google or Bing - and thus free website visitors - in the future.
