Content Marketing: how to generate leads through your content?
Focus on defining a lead
Before you want to generate leads
through its content, it is essential to focus on the concept of leads.
Generally, marketers will tell you that a prospect is characterized at the time
of identification on your website. To this end, as soon as a user downloads
content or subscribes to your newsletter, he becomes a lead.
Content, the engine of lead acquisition
As you know, to attract qualified
prospects to your business, content is king. To this end, your blog is at the
forefront of your Content Marketing. The latter is essential to generate an
audience and build a community of readers.
Its role is to prove your
expertise through high added value content, which guides the prospect in his
purchase decision. The goal is to encourage him to convert by clicking on a
call-to-action (which invites him to download additional information, to
request a quote, to register for a trial offer ...).
However, keep in mind that 95 to
99% of visitors to your site will not contact you right away. Various reasons
may explain this: too promotional content, articles that are not very
customer-oriented, call-to-action that is not very visible.
It will be necessary to put one
in the place of your visitors to find what explains this rate. Do not hesitate
to test also several solutions. As soon as you see the conversion rate
increase, you are on the right track!
A relevant audience as a guarantee of success
Among the explanations concerning
your conversion difficulties, the question of the definition of buyers persona
arises. Does your content bring value to your audience?
To find out, you should ask
yourself questions about the targeted audience: the position occupied by your
buyers persona, their personal and / or professional objectives, their age
group, their place of life, their prejudices about your activity, their brakes,
etc.
In addition, it is important to
identify the profiles that your company does not address. For example:
freelancers, B2C companies, foreign companies, etc. These make you waste time
and distort the analysis of your performance.
In order to build relevant
profiles, use the knowledge of your sales people. In direct contact with customers
and prospects, they are able to bring you concrete elements.
Ask them also about their sales
cycle. This process will help you to pace your editorial strategy.
How to identify topics suitable for your leads?
From the moment you have defined
the profile of your buyer’s persona, you have the first element to set up your
editorial strategy.
To further clarify your topics
and ensure the success of your Content Marketing, your strategy must also take
into account:
- The decision cycle
- The buying cycle
- The context of consumption
- The market
- Your SEO goals
Indeed, a successful editorial
strategy is aimed at both prospects who are still seeking information on their
problem, and those who want to select the best company. Your content should
speak as much to people who have never subscribed to an offer similar to yours,
as to those who want to upgrade or change provider.
