B2B Content Marketing Tips

If you create B2B content, you have no doubt been using it to generate leads and brand awareness for your business. You’re not alone. A study carried out by the Content Marketing Institute found that 95% of B2B organizations are using some type of content marketing, and that means there is a lot of it vying for space online.
As a B2B content marketer, it is possible to create plenty of quality, original content across your channels, but it does need to be done in the right way. Here are ten ways to ensure your B2B content offers your audience real value and not just a lot of irrelevant noise.

  1. Write for A Human Audience
    Okay, so you want your content to be noticed by Google, but you also want it to entice real people to your door. Always write with humans in mind first and search engines second. That means only using relevant keywords to support well-crafted and relevant content.
  2. Write for Different Audience Segments
    When writing your content, think about different segments of your audience rather than always writing for a global audience.
  3. Give A Clear Brand Message
    Always keep your brand image and personality in mind when creating your B2B content. Writing anecdotal content is fine, as long as it doesn’t give your audience a mixed message.
  4. Keep Content Fresh and Consistent
    Writing regular content and planning out that content well can really maximize your B2B marketing efforts. Once you start writing and posting on a regular basis, your audience will know what to expect and grow to trust your brand.
  5. Get the Most Value from Your Content
    When you put so much of your time and effort into your content, you want to be sure you are going to get a good return on that investment. Make a list of the content channels that work the best for you and stick with them.
  6. Check Content Provider Credentials
    When handing the content marketing reins to a third party, it pays to check their credentials. Check reviews, check over their portfolio and ask yourself whether they are good enough to write for your target audience.
  7. Be Versatile
    We mentioned writing for segments of your target audience earlier, but you also need to get the balance right when writing for your entire audience. Think about content that will go down well with everybody - it could be a famous quote, an infographic, an anecdote or simply a cartoon.
  8. Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment
    Content curation can also be a useful technique for your business when you use it in the right way. It’s a great idea to shake up your strategy now and again and try different topics, fresh ideas and new sources of quality content.
  9. Trust Your Instincts
    If you truly trust your content and know that it is going to get you results, don’t be swayed otherwise. As long as your conversions are telling you that your content is working, why change?
  10. Build the Perfect B2B Content Marketing Toolbox
    There are so many content curation tools out there for the taking. From Google Alerts to Atomic Reach, you have the tools at your disposal to build the perfect B2B content marketing kit - a unique toolbox that will help you to create, optimize and distribute your content for the best results.

What Kind of Material Should I Read for Business Insights?

Reading is like the spinach of the writing world, except instead of bulging muscles, it gives you bulging vocabularies! The more you read, the more you absorb the written word and the better equipped you are to string together coherent sentences that engage, convert, and transform.

So don't skip your literary greens, folks. Your writing muscles will thank you!

Content Marketing Best Practices that Garner Attention

Remember the movie, “Field of Dreams”? It made popular the phrase, “If you build it, he will come”. Shoeless Joe and other baseball legends may have magically appeared on a cornfield-turned-baseball diamond. However, when it comes to content marketing, your audience will need more than a field of dreams to attract their attention. If you’re trying to get more traffic to your website, don’t wait for your local SEO efforts to direct your audience. Give them a hand with these proven content strategies.

How to Use a Pillar Page to Improve your Content Quality

Consider the dictionary meaning of ‘pillar’ – “a firm, upright support for a superstructure”, also defined as “a fundamental precept”. Your content marketing campaign is your ‘superstructure’ that requires a ‘firm, upright support’. That’s the key function of content pillar pages. Without these essential supports, your ‘content superstructure’ will neither stand strong, nor will it attract the right attention.

Two Proven Ways to Organize Products with Similar Keywords

In business, cannibalization typically refers to a loss of sales. A company introduces a new product that displaces sales of an older, usually more outdated, product. Instead of having an increase in sales, the market growth remains stable. What does this mean in the world of SEO and content marketing? Keyword cannibalization occurs when two products have similar keywords or phrases and confuses the search engines about which page is right for which query. Instead of competing with other businesses for search traffic, you’re competing with your own web pages. Here’s why keyword cannibalization is bad for business and how you can overcome it.

How to Optimize your Content for a Global Audience

The global market is much smaller than it once was.  Statista reports over 5 billion internet users globally, or about 63.1% of the population. Reaching out to a broader market can help your business grow, but it’s not as simple as updating your website in a new language and simply hoping your audience finds you through search.

How to Build a Functional Content Marketing Funnel

Most people don’t wake up and think, “oh, today is the day I buy my new mattress,” unless they’ve researched different brands and checked pricing at different stores. Modern customers often take their time with major (and even minor) purchases. Using that information about today’s shoppers can help you design a content marketing map, or funnel, that guides the customer to your product.
