Put your SEO in order

SEO optimization is not just a reserve of B2C but B2B as well. But optimizing SEO in a B2B environment is a hard task and most organisations that try it tend to fail. Yet the B2B SEO optimization isn’t something you’ll obtain on the web. It is the job of the SEO expert on your team to optimize the content and ensure the keywords are targeted appropriately.

  • Track the success of your SEO
  • Mind the traffic

Use such tools as Google Analytics to track the traffic in terms of whether it’s organic; whether it’s paid; and if it’s referred.

  • Some little of Heatmap analytics

Heatmap analytics are essential in determining the location of visitors with most clicks or engagement on your site. Better yet, you can use it to determine the total amount of time spent by an individual on your site and the type of content that receives most engagement.

  • A/B testing

Use A/B testing to test an array of subject lines and call to action to determine the best approach to attract more clicks. 

Measure the reach of your content

Marketing metrics is one of the key elements used in auditing the B2B strategy both for teams and individuals. But why measure the internal and external reach of your B2B strategy? Well, the insights obtained in the analysis gives you a broader picture of the type of content, topics, and type of messaging that is effective for the market.

However, measuring the external reach is tough. An incredible 17% digital marketers studying Demand Metric have been found to be unable to put up any meaningful or effective measurements while another 49% use basic metrics such as downloads and clicks.

Remember to put in mind the following numbers when auditing the external reach: 

  1. Monthly engagements by engagement type e.g. page views, downloads, open rates
  2. The number of engagements by persona, content type, and sales
  3. Quarterly’s 10 most engaged assets

It is easy to overlook the internal reach calculation while measuring the success of your B2B marketing yet it is critical to the overall success of your strategy. You know you’re wasting your time and resources when your internal teams and clients fail to find value in your content.

Track the following key metrics to establish a closed feedback loop system across the whole life cycle of your content: 

  1. Total number of MoM (month over month) interview views received by your assets
  2. Total number of MoM in internal downloads of the assets
  3. Total number of MoM in internal assets via social or email
  4. The overall amount of MoM in referral traffic from the internals shares
  5. Don’t forget to track your social channels

Social media marketing is starting to become synonymous with B2B. In fact, according to the survey, 71% of the B2B marketers used social media sharing and content marketing. Sadly, only 21% of them regard it as being “effective”.

Increase the reach of your marketing by tapping the effectiveness and power of social media and then, eventually, integrate more social channels. There more on B2B social media marketing other than the retweets and likes. The main goal of social media marketing, however, is to drive more lead clients into making sales.

You will also want to track: 

  1. Total number of reposts or shares made by influencers
  2. Total number of reposts or shares by leads
  3. Total number of impressions or engagement

You can’t underestimate the power of tools such as Google Analytics and SEMRush in tracking your performance. Some social media tools would come with inbuilt auditing tools t measure the performance – Facebook Insights is a good example. Such tools can be helpful in analyzing important metrics such as the time users are often online, the level of engagement received by your posts, and the reach of your posts.
