Why You Should Use Inbound Marketing For B2B Lead Generation

One question: How many generic sales emails do you get in a day?

Too many to count? Join the club.

We’re inundated with emails every day that are addressed ‘To The Person In Charge’ that talk about ‘Our Amazing Services That Will Help You!’.

On the other hand, when we want to implement a new tool or find a new vendor, who do we go to? Google, of course. So…trust me when we say that it is crucial to rank for your business on Google Search. After all, 2 trillion people can’t be wrong!

How does Inbound Marketing factor into this? Well,Inbound Marketing is all about content marketing, and content marketing gives you a myriad of benefits, especially for B2B lead generation. We’ve listed three simple benefits below:

1) More Content Improves Your Site’s Ranking on Google

Googlebot loves content. It crawls the web, looking for content to index. The more content you publish, the more content Googlebot can index.

For B2B companies, this gives you a higher opportunity to rank for product or service-specific keywords. Multiple website pages and blog posts can be optimized around the same keyword, increasing the chances of a high Google Search Ranking.

2) Good Content Can Be Repurposed For Years

Content, especially evergreen content, can be repurposed into different formats. You can publish an excerpt from your blog post on your social media channels, or combine multiple blog posts into an eBook; the options are endless!

This is important especially for B2B companies, who tend to have less resources available for content marketing, both in terms of actual content as well as writers who know their industry.

3) Great Content Establishes You As A Thought Leader

One of the hardest things to do as a company is to build up your brand. By producing great content, you are giving yourself a head start in this department.

Content gives potential leads more information about your business, your brand, your industry, and that makes you into a thought leader. Your reputation can be built through pure content marketing, and this will help to bring in leads for your business. 

So, invest in Inbound Marketing and create content that your audience loves. This initial effort will bring you exposure, content for years and leads for more. Tell me, who doesn’t want that?
