SEEDING 101
The shift to customer-driven marketing has already begun its natural extension into the decision making process. In other words, what rang true for getting found by potential customers (be useful, be findable, reflect the customers needs) is also at the core of getting chosen by customers. The bottom line: People will make decisions how and when they want to. They have the research tools they need. They are accustomed to self-service decisions. Focus research estimates that today's leads complete two thirds of the research they're going to do on a company before ever talking to a sales person. To succeed, companies will not only have to attract qualified customers using inbound marketing, they will have to understand each customer's decision making process and adjust their communications to reflect that persons needs and timeline. Done right, it should achieve personal attention on a scaleable level.
How many of you have gone online in the past few days to research something you wanted to buy? 65% of consumers in Europe do research online before purchasing something. The idea of inbound marketing is to market to people where they’re already looking for information. So you want to make it easy for people to find you online, where they’re already looking for you. How can you do this?
Add image of heart and magnet
Inbound is customer driven
This is how you make the catch.
To succeed in SEO – to do it inbound style – you must have content
When it comes to getting traffic online, content is king. It’s much more important than your website’s design. If you have great content, people will pay attention and learn to trust you. Your content should educate people. Teach them how to do something, or how to solve their problems.
Content can’t be an island. Don’t silo content marketing efforts. Needs to go along with other things like SEO, social media, and you need to have offers and make sure your content attracts people and links.
It needs to be a mix of efforts … yes
We all know content should be unique, or not identical right … but what about presenting the same thing to every user?! I show you the same message,As you, as you etc.
Don’t just have pages of pages of pages of content just for content.
A modern website knows who are. A modern marketer knows not only what drives traffic and where people come from but can target content to that audience. It’s kind of like netflix or amazon meets a smart CMS.
Content is what the search engine crawlers need to associate your page with a set of keywords and/or key phrases. without it, crawlers are left in the dark as to what your page is about. when building your content, it’s important to remember to give the crawlers enough to bite into. A hundred words typically isn’t enough copy for these crawlers to read and understand what the content is about. And this content shouldn’t be stuffed with keywords either, as some search engines (as you’ll learn in later sections) punish websites for keyword stuffing. Instead, you should write about your product or service or idea naturally, and let your keyword variations naturally fall into place. If that doesn’t happen, go back and spring in some variations into the content so that the same message gets across, just optimized!
