What is Content Marketing?

To start, digital content is information made available online. Information is broad, so digital content can be a range of different pieces of information, including words, images, symbols, and so on. Marketing is delivering value to a current or future customer. So, content marketing is sharing information online that is valuable.

To take it a step further, content marketing involves creating and sharing valuable, relevant information to attract, engage, and retain a target audience, ultimately driving profitable customer actions.

What Types of Content Do You Create?

The content we create all depends on what your needs are. We can create blog posts, articles, social media posts, videos, infographics, eBooks, white papers, case studies, email newsletters, and more. We’ll talk with you and determine together what your needs are and what content will help your company the most.

If there are other types of content that you would like to create that aren’t listed here, no worries. This is not an exhaustive list, and we work with many types of businesses that have different content marketing needs.

How Do You Develop a Marketing Strategy?

As with all our clients, we start the process by learning about your company, goals, wants, needs, and so on. Second, we take a look at your competition to see what they are doing, what works well, and missed opportunities.

After learning about your past, present, competitors, and goals, we study and look at your target audience. We look for demographical information, tendencies, online behaviors, and where they tend to consume their content.

Then, we create a content plan aligned with your objectives and audience preferences. We also look at the quantity and quality of the content that you have and strategize on the rate or speed of the content to be created.

How Often Should I Publish Content?

As we stated before, quality is more important than quantity. It’s easy to post information online that doesn’t benefit you or anyone on the internet. Some content creators post five times a day while others only post occasionally, and both can be successful in their businesses.

As a general rule, looking at all businesses as a whole, the generic and general rule is to post frequently and consistently. What does that mean for your company? That’s where it varies. If you’re an influencer, that could mean five times a day. If you’re an industrial parts manufacturer, that could be twice a month.

No worries, our content marketing services will learn your business, industry, and goals to create an effective content calendar and strategy.

Can You Work With My In-House Marketing Team?

Absolutely. We’ve worked with internal teams in many ways. We have generated content topics for a marketing plan optimizing content as it’s being created by our clients, to taking over the entire process of creation. We can seamlessly become part of your internal team.

Whether you’re looking for ideas, needing an audit, or other ongoing assistance, we can talk with you to determine the best course of action and level of involvement to ensure your marketing success.

How Long Does it Take to See Results?

As content is a big part of search engine optimization (or SEO), it is a long-term strategy. As the content is live online and gains traction, the results will increase as time goes on. Other results include backlinking (links from other sites referencing your content), citations, and more. Even if you see early results, most benefits come after a few months.

However, if you choose to use our content marketing services for ad copy, results will start once the ads go live. It all depends on what type of content you want us to create, where it’s placed, and the intended purpose. After all, a flyer for a one-time event will only bring results for a short time.

Do We Use AI For Content Creation?

Yes and no. We use it for research, additional information, and so forth. Remember that AI is just one of many tools available for marketing and other purposes. Due to its popularity, many systems exist, but not all have the same level of quality.

Additionally, search engines have AI content detectors that, if found to be artificially generated, don’t rank the content favorably. So, our use of AI helps with the process of content creation but not the actual content itself. Our professional writers write the content.

How Can Content Marketing Increase Lead Generation?

Whenever a potential customer or client is looking for new brands, products, or services, most want to make an informed decision. Additionally, before the decision is made to purchase or hire, the brand’s content has to be repeatedly presented to them.

Content is important as it will either lead someone to become a client or push them away. If your content doesn’t cover enough information to convince someone that you know what you’re talking about, or it doesn’t address all their concerns, they’ll choose someone else.

Also, generally, the more expensive your product or service is, the more information customers or clients want. So, if you’re selling a rock for $1, your product description can be relatively short compared to a car dealership selling a Ferrari.

So, to answer the question, content marketing increases lead generation by getting the right amount of information to your target audience to become a lead.

Is Copywriting and Content Marketing Different?

Yes, they are different, but they both help your business online. Copywriting is writing content for ads and for people to take action after reading the information. For example, look how a commercial on TV or an ad between YouTube videos is written.

As defined before, content marketing is delivering information to customers and is more long-term in its strategy and goals. Examples include blogs, webpages, and infographics. However, with Burning Ox Marketing, we do both. Our marketing services create copywriting for paid ads, content for websites, and almost everything in between.
