By helping more people find your construction firm and turning those individuals into warm leads, a blog acts as the linchpin that keeps your digital marketing strategy running smoothly. The better you understand how your blog does this, the better you can manage it to your advantage.
Reach Out to Your Market
Blogging helps improve your search engine ranking by keeping your site regularly updated with fresh content and increasing the amount of searched-for phrases on your site, as well as by attracting links from other websites and social shares from your readers.
Your blog also makes it easier to reach your potential clients on social media by giving you a source of content to post. Plan content for your blog, then draw on it for your Facebook posts, Instagram pictures, and Twitter tweets. If you write a post about renovating a clubhouse one week, you can use photos, tips, and interesting facts from that post as the week’s social media content.
Build Stronger Connections
When a potential lead does click through your search engine link or social media post, your blog will be there to welcome them. Unlike a skimpy brochure website, a blog can hold their attention with valuable content, demonstrate the benefits of working with your firm, and lead readers toward handing over their contact information. Your blog’s RSS feed and email digests give you more ways to stay in touch with your prospects.
To keep your prospects interested and build a good rapport, your digital marketing strategy needs a mix of content that lets your audience interact with your company in a variety of ways. A blogging platform makes it easy to upload and organize all kinds of content, including images, videos, audio, and downloadable PDFs.
As an added benefit, a blog gives you a way to gather data such as keyword activity, page views, and click paths that tell you what your target audience wants so you can give them more of it.
