3 Effective Marketing Strategies for Targeting B2B Companies
In the past, when we talked about B2B marketing strategies, our first point of call was direct and outbound techniques, which involved directly messaging prospective clients that have been identified, but with time, marketing has become pretty complicated, hence, B2B marketing has to be particularly streamlined with the use of online methods if you desire success.
Don’t get me wrong, these techniques are still useful in their way and still have their place in the marketing toolbox, but the evolving nature of today’s world needs more. If you are looking to be successful with your B2B campaign, then there’s a need for you to adjust to modern business trends. Put simply; you need to intensify B2B Enterprise digital marketing.
The question now is how to streamline your online marketing efforts, so that it gets the attention of your target B2B companies, especially when considering that they are passively active on most networks that you might be thinking. Yes, your target audience browses the internet and read the news, but they are on passive mode when in these channels and are very unlikely to click your ads if you’re not careful with them.
I read a lot of articles where people talk about social media and display ads as the best. I’m not exactly trying to argue their claims, but you know for sure that once your B2B audience are not actively searching for your product, they are most unlikely to click on your ads.
Statistics already report that 90% of B2B companies search on Google when they are looking for a new product or service. The figure even gets more alarming when you’re talking about Google search ranking. 75% of web visitors don’t go past the first page when they search on Google, and this is because they think first-page ranking means credibility. So the fundamental question now should be how to get to the first page of Google. As once you can get to the first page of Google, you’ll stand a better chance of winning more conversions. There are several ways to get up a search engine, and we’ll take a look at a few of the most prominent.
1- Research and Targeting of Demographics
This first most vital thing to do is researching and finding your target demographics. Without having an accurate picture of your target customers and audience, you’ll be wasting a whole of time and money. It is entirely impossible to market your product or services to everybody at a time; therefore there’ll be a need to segment your core audience and focus on them.
Ask yourself questions like:
- Who is my audience?
- What are the things they like most and dislike?
- How exactly can their buying habit be classified?
- What’s their best communication mode?

Detailed research of your marketplace and the market behaviors of your target will help your decisions to be more informed, and in essence, connect you to the right audience. Narrowing down your audience saves you time and money on all your marketing efforts. Once you can segment your audience, the next phases will be easier for you.
2- Effective SEO Strategy
The primary purpose of segmenting your audience is to be able to place your ads right where they can see it. In today’s marketing world, there’s a need for your target audience to see your website, and this is where search engine optimization comes in handy!

This includes the natural ways of getting your site up search engine results. The main pillars of this strategy are relevance and authority. Google ranks your website naturally, based on how relevant your content is to searchers and the level of power you command in the field compared to other people in your competition.
Google measures your relevance by how much time visitors spend on your website. Your authority also gets measured by the number of backlinks that send audience to your site. You can also apply the use of relevant keywords to rank better on search engine results naturally.
Inorganic SEO:
This SEO strategy involves using PPC to drive traffic to your site. Usually, through Google pay advertising, your desired audience can see your website at the top of their search when they are actively searching for your product offerings. This method is quite expensive, but it is actually worth the stress because the level of traffic you can drive to your website is very high.
3- Effective Social Media Strategy
I know I’ve talked about how relatively ineffective the use of social media can be for B2B advertising, there’s still no denying the fact that if done properly, it works well. One particular aspect of social media that’s highly effective for B2B advertising is LinkedIn. In LinkedIn, you can pin down your ad to fit a particular title, market, industry, or even company size.
