In today’s competitive world, businesses must effectively utilize digital marketing techniques to engage targeted audiences, generate leads, drive traffic, and increase revenue. While paid advertisements are often preferred, used on different online channels, they don’t provide long-lasting results and can be costly. Instead, businesses should adopt techniques that not only establish a strong identity but also ensure profit is in their pocket. Some mentionables in this regard are:

The Rising Role of Nano Influencers

As we are moving forward, the role of influencer marketing is getting transformed day by day. Specially accounts having 1000 to 10000 followers which we can call as nano influencers, have shown much better impact than those of the accounts having high number of followers. These accounts have generated more than twice of the engagements as compared to the accounts of macro influencers. The reason is that the followership of nano influencers usually belong to some specific area of life, so the targeting becomes easier while the macro influencers have a wide followership which is good for getting better reach but engagements with customers become difficult. Moreover, nano influencers are also pocket friendly as compared to macro influencers.

Social Search Optimization

All the social media platforms have started to be used as search engines and this usage is increasing day by day. According to the Adobe Report, about 40% of the American users are using TikTok for search purposes. In these scenarios, you need to optimize your social media profiles according to the intent of your target audience. It is not just about creating visually appealing and engaging posts, it is about the usage of high searching keywords and related metadata with your social media content. Or in short, we can say that it is the optimization of social media profiles just as you do the SEO of your website.

Advanced SEO & Content Marketing

SEO has always been a crucial part for excellent online visibility since the start of the digital landscape. With time many algorithms were updated to make the user experience better. But now SEO is not only about integrating demanding search queries in your content. While doing SEO, which is mainly done through content strategies these days, you need to understand what the user is actually looking for. You need to create your content around broad topics that are interlinked and transform your website into a resource that is comprehensive and credible on specific topics.

UX in Web Landing Pages

After applying excellent SEO techniques, your website may reach your target audience but if the visitor dont find your website easy to navigate or it does not load in a short time, will the same user come to your website ever again?  To avoid these technicalities, you have to enhance your User Experience(UX) which mainly includes low loading time and mobile responsiveness. According to reports, if a website does not load completely in the first 3-4 seconds of visit, you are in a chance of losing more that 40% of traffic which is actually a very high number. Beside these, about 50-70% of the traffic depending upon the niche access any website using a smartphone. So you have to make your website responsive according to different screen sizes to engage a wide audience. The shift towards better UX may lead you to enhance your user engagement and ultimately drive business success.

You have to deeply engage with them using facts and data to make each interaction with them unique and authentic. It also involves a tailoring approach to meet their specific needs and preferences. Some essentials to achieve this level of personalization are:
