Unlike the B2C brand, B2B’s business is often characterized by:

• Low search volume on Google.
• High competition on almost available keywords.

And there is evidence to support this – usually, where the seven-year-old B2C company gets 500k visitors per month from SEO, the B2B brand with the same age can see only 15K visitors per month. (This assumes all the other things together.)

Both of these sites were established around the same time (2013) and have published a lot of content.

However, the difference in the amount of traffic they make it look like being married hasn’t done a lot of SEO, but it’s not the problem.

For example, when I use Mozbar to analyze optimization on the page they do in their articles about trust badges, I can say that they at least follow the basic SEO principles, such as having keywords focusing on their URL, page title, header, and description Meta:

I would say they are not too terrible in optimizing their content for SEO – if they optimize all their content as they do this in a badge of trust.

I mean here are: B2C and e-commerce businesses (usually) have more opportunities in SEO than B2B, especially in terms of traffic search.

But while it’s true, it’s also true that no matter how little a search visit, there are still many opportunities in SEO for B2B business.

Most of the time, what B2B brands lose in search traffic, they generate income – because their products/services are usually more expensive than those in B2C.

Long story short: There is an opportunity for B2B companies in the search, and this is how to use it in the future.

1. Starting from below (not above) funnel

Each funnel starts above, but if you want to produce results as soon as possible, you must start your SEO B2B strategy that targets customers at the bottom of the funnel.

Ready to buy customers have been at the bottom of the funnel (bofu), looking for information that will help them make purchasing decisions. They often search with keywords such as:

• “[Industrial] software”
• “[Industry] tools”
• “[Competitor] alternative”
• “What are [competitors] good products/services?”

As a smart marketer, your strategy must prioritize reaching them with the bottom of the funnel content they are looking for.

2. Make your content t-shaped (for demand and lead generation)

You might think, “What’s content?” Let me explain.

On my agency (Premium content shop), we use “T-shaped content” to describe the type of content that does two functions at the same time:

• This provides real value for your ideal prospects

AND

• Produce relevant organic traffic, demand, and lead quality for your business.

This is the T-shaped content part because of:

• This guide is focused on helping potential customers MailShake – “Cold Email”
• This guide is designed to use CTA to produce requests and lead for milkshakes

I often advise clients not to introduce anything about their products/services until the reader has scrolled around 40% into the content they consumed, only to avoid as far as promotion.

And I don’t say put your CTA at the beginning of the article can never work – it can – but your readers must feel like you prioritize them to get value from content while trying to sell your own items.

In any case, making and rating on t-shaped content helps you reach two goals:

Build a brand that is trusted.
Make awareness and product directions for your product.

3. Don’t just rank content – rating “from-field-experience” content

One reason SEO gets a bad rap, especially among B2B marketers, is the amount of low-quality B2B content that ranks on page one at SERPs.

And that’s because, while the Google algorithm can determine the search-friendly content, it cannot see if a relevant page for searchers, at least from a human perspective.

So, finally, the content ranking on page one meets the Google ranking standard but is not always a search standard.

As a B2B marketer, you don’t just want to meet Google’s requirements and rank on page one. You need your content to rank and impress your audience well enough to turn it into leads.

How did you do that? You need to write like a professional speaking to professionals.

Usually, this means you need to see what other industry professionals say or have published certain topics and spelling:

• What you agree
• What you don’t agree
• What do you want to change about how something is done right now?
• How you want to change or change it

4. Avoid covering too many basic topics

Often in B2B, your ideal buyers are experienced professionals. This means that most of the time, they don’t need content on basic topics that are possible by entry-level employees.

If they are sales leaders, for example, they rarely seek content on basic topics such as “What is a sales script” or “How does CRM work?”.

You better include more important and sophisticated topics – regardless of whether the topics have high search volumes or not.

For example, CRM Copper providers are currently ranked “a cold call script to get an appointment”.

It’s a long-tail keyword with only around 500 searches per month.

Low search volumes may look uninteresting on the surface, but the target of copper customers is the one who looks for it, and it’s more important than the rank for high search volume keywords like “What is the sales pipe?”

It is not often searched by the customer.

During the research phase of your keyword, it’s easy to disturb by a high search volume keyword that just searched for your target audience on Google.

Move past the interference and focus on creating content for keywords, your target buyer needs content – even if the keyword has a low search volume.

5. Keep your technical SEO

In my first four points, I discussed the things you need to know about the creation of high-quality content and the side of SEO content strategies, but I have not forgotten about the technical side.

You need to pay attention to technical SEO tools because they can make or destroy the opportunity for B2B websites that can be obtained from the search. :

Here is the most important part of SEO Tech that you have to get in the habit of checking:

HTML Tags: Your HTML tag helps search engines understand what is on your page.

Look this way: You understand English (and other languages ​​you use), search engine algorithms understand HTML tags (plus human languages).

Description of Meta: This helps search engines understand the content of your web page more.

This is basically a summary of your content, show searchers and search engines a brief description of what is on your web page.

SEO-friendly URL: which is often regarded as a “Google Minor rating factor” by many search marketers (if not most).

But even if it increases your ranking opportunity by .5%, it’s still important. So optimize your URL to make it friendly SEO.

This means you need to make sure they contain the target keywords you are trying to rank on any page.

User experience (UX): This includes site speed, navigation, accessibility (for visitors from PCs and cellular devices), and everything that makes your content and web pages easy to use for searchers.

Google algorithm has been built so that it is strong enough to determine which page has a good UX, so you need to make sure your page is easy to use, navigation, and access.

Backlinks: They may be last in the list here, but backlinks easily one of the most important rating factors you need to pay attention to.

As you know, the more backlinks you get, the stronger your opportunities rank.
