Measuring the success of your content marketing strategy can be challenging as there are a variety of variables to consider. FCDM can help you!
Content marketing is about starting a conversation with your followers and telling your brand’s unique story. It’s a pretty simple concept that has been tried and tested. Great content will help your business to attract an audience and an audience will help your business to generate leads.
We all want more clicks, as we know this will lead to more traffic and more potential leads and sales but measuring the success of your content marketing strategy can be difficult as there are a variety of variables to consider. So how can you track the success of your Content Marketing Strategy? Here are the basics to get you started:
Keep tabs on Your Website Analytics
Website traffic will always be the foundation of content marketing success. Without traffic, there is no leads and there will be no revenue. Make sure to keep a close eye on the following metrics regularly:
- Page Visits
- Time on Page
- Cost per Click
- Conversion Rates
- Followers and Subscribers
- Engagement Rates
As well as tracking current performance, pay attention to content performance on your website over time as some pieces of content may become more or less relevant and drive more or fewer leads and sales.
Monitor Bounce Rates
Content marketing success is not just about getting people to your website, it is as important to try to keep them there. Keeping an eye on your bounce rate can help you to understand what is working and what is not. If you have a low bounce rate and people are spending a while on your site and coming back, then you know your content is working.
Keep It Relevant
It is vital to ensure that your content marketing topics are relevant and this can be achieved by monitoring if your published content actually ‘impacts’ your audience. For example, if you can see that people are reading your blog post, engaging with your social media post or watching your video then contact your sales team to ask questions about that particular product or service, then you have impacted them to take action based on that relevant content.
Carrying out extensive keyword research is a good starting point for creating not just blog posts, but also ebooks, videos and case studies.
