How Does Content Marketing Increase Visitors’ Traffic to your Website and Social Media Platforms?
Content marketing is an undeniably reliable strategy for businesses/companies to use to reach out to their customers. One of the reasons for its efficiency is that it tends to answer customers’ questions and promote products at the same time.
Most of the time, if the content in question fulfils customers’ expectations and also entertains them, they are more likely to follow the brand page for updates and will most likely also share content with family and friends on social media. This in turn helps promote the brand more effectively than putting up ads in a generation where 40% of internet users use ad blockers.
Pop up ads are more likely to earn the ire of customers and may give the brand a negative image. The type of content posted also speaks volumes for the company’s image and instance, if the content posted often relates to everyday life, customers may feel that they’re up to date with current trends and also understand clients on a human level.
On top of that, it makes the brand more easily searchable via search engines. Customers may be searching with specific terms, recommendations for an item or service or maybe even advice for a future purchase or investment. By using the correct keywords or terms, the customer will eventually encounter the brand’s page in their search results, most likely giving the link a click, and then reading through if it answers their questions.
Content marketing reaches out to their target audience and vice versa, creating a form of conversation. Using the data based on clicks, the brand can probably also further understand what both their customers and potential customers want in their products or content and focus on them more.
Nonetheless, content marketing is a powerful tool that companies should use to promote their brand more. It is less hectic than using traditional methods and presumably cheaper. The biggest bonus one can say is that they build customers’ trust in the brand.
