This means that digital marketing needs change daily, so the strategies we create and implement today might not work tomorrow. People ignore repetitive and banal ads, so marketers must quickly and continuously adapt to keep their ads performing well. Add to this an overabundance of content and companies spending money on new blog posts without much focus; this undermines the quality of the content and reflects poor content marketing strategies. With all this in mind, the following questions must be asked: Are companies effectively leveraging digital marketing? Are they adapting their marketing strategies accordingly?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to digital marketing, one name that stands out is Neil Patel. If you\u2019re a marketer, chances are you\u2019ve watched one of his many videos or read one of his articles or books on digital marketing. The thirty-five-year-old growth marketing entrepreneur is the co-founder of<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crazyegg.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Crazy Egg<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellobar.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hello Bar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and has helped industry giants\u2014such as Amazon, eBay, and Google\u2014with their marketing efforts. To say he\u2019s an expert in marketing is an understatement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In one of his live-streamed videos, \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bGQG_-OG6fs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Future of Marketing &#8211; in 2020 and Beyond<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u201d Neil Patel explores five facts about today\u2019s digital marketing to better understand and adapt our marketing strategies for the future. This post spotlights those five key digital marketing trends to watch for in 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span id=\"fact-1-marketing-is-going-omnichannel\"><b>Fact #1: Marketing is going omnichannel<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEverybody now is leveraging Medium, Tumblr, Facebook, Youtube, LinkedIn, Twitter; Google doesn\u2019t penalize for duplicate content. You release content once\u2014publish it everywhere\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, that\u2019s right, Google won\u2019t punish you for duplicate content. So share away! This is great because it means you can publish all your content on various channels\u2014the more the better. But make sure you\u2019re posting quality content; as mentioned earlier, quantity should not displace quality. For your content marketing efforts to be fruitful, lay a strong foundation using all aspects of your marketing, from landing pages to SEO content and Google Ads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blogging continues to trend up as one of the best ways to attract traffic. People always turn to the internet for answers, so having an informational blog post that adds value and will ultimately lead them to your business is a no-brainer. This is where reaching out for extra help comes in handy. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constant-content.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Constant Content<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can connect your business with strong writers who understand your industry and provide quality, SEO-rich content. These blogs will rank better and will generate extra conversions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating new blogs is good, but keeping existing ones relevant and up to date is even better. Translating existing blogs, blogging more often, and updating and reusing content all lead to significant traffic gains. Companies optimize for conversions in that way; they A\/B test and personalize their marketing efforts to suit their customers. This means that the one channel that\u2019s done surprisingly well in providing the biggest ROI for companies while investing the smallest amount is Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO). Going omnichannel means keeping an eye on your competition, analyzing what they do, and leveraging this information on all channels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Related reading: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constant-content.com\/content-writing-service\/2019\/01\/repurpose-content\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15 Creative Ways to Repurpose Your Content<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h5><span id=\"fact-2-user-metrics-are-the-key-to-beating-google\"><b>Fact #2 User metrics are the key to beating Google<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou don\u2019t have to increase rankings to get more search traffic.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without user metrics, the marketing strategy you use for your website quickly becomes a guessing game. By analyzing user metrics, you can determine what\u2019s working well and what isn\u2019t. Leveraging this information can be a valuable way to adapt your strategy and increase traffic, engagement, and ultimately conversion. Improving your search traffic will probably be at the top of your list in terms of increasing your conversions, and it doesn\u2019t have to be rocket science:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Look for keywords that have less than 5% click-through rate.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Look for pages that have less than 4% click-through rate.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Make sure the keywords that you rank for are in the title tag and the content.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Once you make changes in your meta tags and content, have Google re-crawl your site.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might not be rocket science, but it can be meticulous. You\u2019ll need to audit your website and tweak small things one at a time to see what works and what doesn\u2019t until you see engagement rates go up. This process might be as subtle as changing a single button or a link. If done correctly, you will see change; eventually, user metrics will be the key to beating all platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span id=\"fact-3-build-a-strong-brand\"><b>Fact #3 Build a strong brand<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you build a brand within your niche and you\u2019re a leading player, your content within that space will go more viral than others.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When people love a brand, it\u2019s not just about what that company is selling. It\u2019s about the values they stand for. It\u2019s about the brand\u2019s \u201cpersonality.\u201d Building a strong and successful brand is crucial when creating a loyal and trusted customer base. Building authority around your brand means people will see you as their number-one choice. Remember: people need their problems solved, or questions answered, and they want to find a brand on which they can rely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping your audience engaged and aware of your brand must be your constant goal. To achieve this, remember the \u201crule of seven.\u201d This rule means your audience will hear about or see your brand and your content at least seven times before they take action and buy from you. What better way to do that than by creating a blog with terrific, memorable content? A content creation service like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constant-content.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Constant Content<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will provide you with a consistent flow of relevant content tailored to your business\u2014which means a better chance of appearing in search results. Search engines are like bees to honey when it comes to fresh and unique content, so creating new blogs as well as updating old ones will help your business rank better on search engines. Providing informative and compelling content in your blogs will also boost your social engagement. Remember, Fact #2 is all about going omnichannel and sharing your blogs on all your social media platforms to increase traffic and conversion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Related reading: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constant-content.com\/content-writing-service\/2020\/05\/gary-vee-marketing-in-2020-why-volume-of-content-matters\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketing in 2020 &#8211; Why Volume of Content Matters<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h5><span id=\"fact-4-personalize-the-experience\"><b>Fact #4 Personalize the experience<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cConventional Conversion Rate Optimization techniques won\u2019t work well.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can have the best landing pages or pop-ups, with unique and creative hooks to get your audience to click, but if you\u2019re not offering a unique and tailored experience to your audience, you\u2019ll be left behind. What worked in the past doesn\u2019t mean it works today, and what works today when it comes to increasing your CRO is personalization. By personalizing, you can adapt what you do for each person in your audience\u2014and that\u2019s where conversions live.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chat is responsible for 28% of sales, so this is the perfect place to start as it offers your customers a unique experience. If a customer has a five-star experience, they are more likely to convert. Part of this experience keeps them informed with tips and insights on your product by providing product tours. Yes, it will take some testing, and yes, these are just small things. But Rome wasn\u2019t built in a day, and all these tiny improvements to your customer experience will eventually bear tremendous results.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span id=\"fact-5-to-win-youll-have-to-think-like-a-winner\"><b>Fact #5 To win, you\u2019ll have to think like a winner<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cInvest in mentorship and learn from the best.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neil Patel brings it home when he asks: \u201cIf you wanted to climb Mount Everest, would you just fly over to Nepal with no training and start climbing without a sherpa?\u201d Of course, the unanimous answer to this question would be a resounding no. Look for mentorship, follow successful people in your industry, and see what they\u2019re doing right. There\u2019s a wealth of information out there\u2014blogs, podcasts, webinars, videos\u2014which you can use and leverage to improve your business. And the majority of these resources are free! Don\u2019t forget to keep an eye on what your competition is doing. Sun Tzu was right when he advised that we keep our friends close and our enemies closer. In that spirit, always remember that your competitors are giving away a ton of information online\u2014an invaluable resource that should be mined.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe future of online marketing will be a combination of the most successful techniques of the past, mixed with the growing need to personalize everything.\u201d \u2014Neil Patel<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there\u2019s one takeaway from Neil Patel\u2019s seminar, it\u2019s this: your attention should be on improving your conversion rate, not necessarily your traffic. Blogging reigns supreme when it comes to content, so keep publishing valuable and compelling content, and keep updating and repurposing old content. Otherwise, you won\u2019t maintain your rankings or generate extra conversions. As a content creation service, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constant-content.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Constant Content<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can provide quality pieces for you to publish regularly and help you repurpose and refresh existing content to make it more SEO-friendly, so you can keep up with search engine rankings and rake in conversions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketing is an ever-changing beast. To tame it and make it work hard for you, continuously test it and learn its ways. There will be lots of information to digest, but taking small steps and reaching for the low-hanging fruit can take you farther than you can imagine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Related reading: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constant-content.com\/content-writing-service\/2018\/08\/outsourcing-content-creation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Complete Guide to Outsourcing Content Creation<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consumers continuously shift the way they behave.
