The ‘winning’ result is based on factors such as relevance, the ads quality and how much you have bid on certain keywords.

You need to show your clients what you can do. A Google search is enough to prove this. The majority of leading KBB sites are filled to burst with blogs, videos and product demonstrations. Here’s a few things you should take into account when creating online content:

The more you create for your business the more indexed pages there are in search engines. Whilst plenty of content is useful, it’s important to release it in a steady stream. That way there is no information overload. Furthermore, regular posting gives clients something to look forward to. Content equals conversation Creating something of value and sharing it for free can inspire others to do the same. This is ideal when it comes to social media. People who gain interest in your content can become ambassadors for your brand through liking, sharing, tweeting etc.

A call to action is the perfect way to encourage clients to make small commitments whilst reducing friction and gaining clarity. Creating online content is often overlooked because it doesn’t necessarily directly generate sales. It’s vital that the KBB sector learns to invest in creating materials and encourage a form of dialogue in order to gain a strong level of trust between clients and themselves.
