While looking for the right keyword and working on it, collecting data from different keywords tool is good but taking help of additional internet platforms is always and additional step which helps in keyword research.

Here I am talking about some internet platforms which shows us something more than keyword search volume. Let’s take an example of Google Trends.

You can compare the trends with previous year and can even collect the keyword trend data for different countries. You can understand the search trends for different countries which helps you to generate the content according to your target audience.

Content for your targeted keyword

Once you are done with your research, now it’s time to come to the most critical part. Yes, I am talking about content creating. While we generate content for any blog or web page, there are few basic things which we need to keep in our mind.

Content Originality

Today, I would like to talk about Inbound Marketing. We will learn some insights of Inbound Marketing and benefits of it. Also I will try to share some case studies and best practices which could help you in designing better Inbound Marketing Strategies for your Business.

These Inbound Marketing Principles would help you to understand the process. So before getting into the tips and tricks let’s understand what actually inbound marketing is and how it works.

Inbound Marketing

According to Wikipedia, Inbound marketing is a technique of content marketing which includes social media marketing and Search Engine Optimization along with Branding to drive customers towards products and services. It is simply a method of enhancing your content to attract a stranger, Convert it into a regular user, Close the conversion and Enjoy the success.

This is a great method for achieving your goals. Every buyer or potential buyer has enough information about the product or service. There are thousands of internet platforms available where they could find relevant information. In this situation, it is very hard to beat the competition and achieve growth.

Basic Principles of Inbound Marketing

While practicing different marketing strategies and methods, I have collected few insights of Inbound Marketing and given below are few basic principles of Inbound Marketing which could help you to deliver the best outcomes and achieve your goals.

Attract

It’s very important for every business to reach out to maximum number of people and attract the right audience for their business. More likely attracting customers is the first step for any business. In order to start with this, you should have a website which is well optimized. It should be easy to use and have capability to represent your content in a good manner. You have to work on your website SEO. You could either do it yourself or hire a Digital Marketing Expert. Website should have industry keywords, accurate meta data, Headers, Pointers, right images and videos.

Content Creation

You can only optimize your website if you have relevant content available on it. Creating meaningful content which is related to your industry would help visitors to stay on your website. Sharing real time case studies would be the best options to generate meaningful content. Your web visitors are more interested in your achievements and the way you have achieved it.
Another good options of creating neat and useful content are:

Blog posts about Industry Trends
Writing answers for Frequently Asked questions
Creating Video on industry topics
Creating set of How to Steps

Use of Social Media

Before talking about Social Media let’s have a quick look over worldwide digital population as of July 2020. Given below are the numbers in billions till month of July 2020.

Active Internet users: 4.57 Billions
Unique Mobile Internet Users: 4.17 Billions
Active Social Media Users: 3.96 Billions
Active Mobile Social Media Users: 3.91 Billions

There is a huge number of people using social media. If you can use social media correctly, you have opportunities to achieve new heights. According to Hubspot, 80% of marketers & 60 % of sales professionals have found qualified leads on social media. Creating social media content such as infographics and posts would really help you to achieve positive numbers. However, sharing your web content such as blogs and promotional offers on social media is highly recommended.

Work Towards Conversion

Once a prospect lands on a site, the goal is to convert them into a lead. To be able to to convert them into a lead, it is important to have a call to action such as: click here to get this ebook free. Once the prospect clicks on the the call to action button, they will be directed to a landing page where they will get more information on the ebook. At this point prospects will be asked to enter their name and email address. Once this occurs, they will be directed to a thank you page.

Whenever a user lands on your website, you never know whether the user has potential of buying or not but one thing you could do is, prepare your website keeping your conversion goals in mind. You could follow the basic rules of generating leads.

Implementing call to Action Button
- Having call to action buttons are important to make it easy for visitors to generate query easily. You could place buttons such as Call Back, make a Call, Contact Here, request a demo or make an inquiry. You could enable tracking on these buttons using Google Tag Manager and see which button is performing and helping in generating leads. According to performance, you could switch the button placements.
Landing Pages
- Whenever user clicks on a link or button, it lands on a page. Make sure the page you design should have all the elements which can convert a user into potential buyer. Place the button on page and help user to under what to do. It should be action oriented not instructions like click here or visit here. As you can see in this blog, there is a form which says contact us. All you need to do is, fill this form and hit send. Landing pages are your digital sales representatives which are designed to convert users into leads. Also, you could collect user information by using landing pages.
Implementing forms
- Forms are important as it works as a bridge between sales and enquiry. You should design the form according to your event or promotional offer. Pro Tip: Ask for necessary information only instead of full details. If it is a call back form, then asking for mobile number is enough. Create form of two columns only for this. However, if it is a product enquiry, you could add the relevant fields but make sure to make an easy to fill form.
Thank you Pages
- Greeting your visitor with a Thank you message leaves a good impression. It also helps you in tracking the conversion. You could use thank you page to share additional information about your product or services with users. It is obvious if someone has made a purchase on your website, he is interested in your product and services. If you are showing additional services on thank you page, you are showing his interest items. Use this as an opportunity and take out the best of it.

Closer

At the final stage, sending an email after completing the conversion is important and is highly recommended. People check their emails regularly and emails could help you to generate better brand awareness. By sending an email, you can also delight your customers. Email is also one of the most economical options of attracting users. Emails would add very less cost in your marketing budget.

This is what I have learnt about inbound marketing during these many years. If you have insights to add then feel free to comment below. I will be more than happy to feature the additional information.

I develop marketing strategies and campaigns after studying the data and reports available in Google Analytics. Today we are going to talk about Google Analytics Search Terms.

We can track the user queries which they have written in search bar. On the basis of collected data, you can easily identify which is the favorite product or service of your website users.

YouTube SEO tips 2020: Rank Videos on Top

Ravi Kumar Rana

In order to rank videos on top, you must know YouTube SEO. It is a method which can boost your performance within the platform and help you to gain better ranks and can bring more views and engagements on your YouTube Channel. Today we are going to learn about YouTube SEO. I will share few steps and tools to perform SEO for YouTube Videos.

Before getting into tips and tricks, first we need to know about the ranking factors so that we could work according to them.

Social Engagement

Social engagement is form of any type of engagement such as Video comments, Subscribers, Social Shares, Likes/Dislikes, CTR (Click through Rate) and recommendations.

Video Comments

Being a content marketer, it’s not easy for you to make everyone happy. You will see both positive and negative comments on your videos. But you need to understand the importance of it and use it for your betterment. But what if there are no user comments or lesser user comments on your videos? In this situation you need to work hard and encourage people to comment on your videos. Later in this article we will learn about the techniques by which we can make users to comment on videos.

Subscribers

All YouTube channel owners want subscribers on their channel. Apart from asking people to subscribe to your channel there are few methods which could follow to gain subscribers and improve engagement on your channel.

Social Shares

If your videos are being shared by people, it drives great engagement on your videos and channel. It is one of the major factors in YouTube rankings.

Likes and Dislikes

Likes and dislikes are core engagement factors and also helps videos to rank within the platform. These are considered as best engagement metrics for any YouTube video and can help in improving rankings.

CTR (Click through Rate)

Click through rate in YouTube is based on number of times people got the videos on search results divided by number times people click on it to watch. You could improve your CTR by having compelling titles and thumbnails. Choose something that makes your result stand out from the rest.

Recommendations

It is similar to shares by instead of social media platforms; it is done on specific platform or personality. For example, if your video is recommended by celebrity or authorized authority, then engagement break records for your videos.

All these are Social Engagement ranking factors. Let’s move on to next factor which is:

Length of Video

Length of video is important according to your targeted audience and channel category. It is also a good ranking factor. A good length of video would give you better response. According to a study conducted by Backlinko, “The average length of a first page YouTube video is 14 minutes, 50 seconds.”

This is the average time of most ranked videos. As I said earlier, you could adjust your video length according to targeted audience. For example, if you are planning to create tutorial videos, then it should be of good length with easy steps to learn. However if you want to attract audience who are looking for quick tips then the length of video should not be long.

Keyword Research for YouTube Videos

Keywords play an important role in any form of SEO. While working for YouTube SEO, you need to put maximum efforts to collect best keywords for your videos. In order to conduct keyword research, first you need to set an AIM and find keywords according to it. There are few common things which you need to keep in your mind while doing keyword research for your YouTube videos.

Relevancy

Target the relevant keywords which can describe your videos. Do not choose the keywords on the basis of search volume. Always keep quality in your mind and pick the best keywords which are relatable to your YouTube videos. Let’s take an example of TheSEOGuy. At my platform I provide digital marketing services and I am based out in Delhi. If I would ever create a video, then my focus keywords would be “Digital marketing Services”. In order to find more relevant keywords based on this, I will use YouTube search feature i.e.

These are the actual search terms used by people while looking for content on YouTube.

Competition

It’s nearly impossible to find zero competition on YouTube because whatever you do, you have to deal with competition. Apart from analysing competition in keyword planner tool, I try to collect data from direct competitors by analysing their content and keywords used by them in their video titles and description.

Research on multiple Search Engines

You need to collect data from as much as platforms to filter out best keywords for you YouTube Video. It will help you to perform better YouTube SEO. For example, we could use multiple search engines such as bing, duckduckgo, ecosia and many more.

Pro Tips:

While doing keyword research I always keep in mind that I am going to upload fresh content and it is not at all easy to rank on high competition keywords. So I target the low competition keywords first and try to achieve ranks. Let’s take another example here.

In above image I tried to check out keyword worth on YouTube. As you can see there are more than 2,000,000 results for the keyword “Content Marketing”. It is not easy for me to outrank existing videos. So in this case I need to create a plan and target keywords on which I could get ranks and can relate my content with targeted keyword. So I tried “Marketing Tactic”

content marketing competition example-YouTube SEO

As you can see that “Marketing Tactics” has just 41,000 results and if I would work smartly, I could achieve my goal. After following these steps it’s time to take all the keywords on your list and roll them through search and see which ones have a decent competition.

Use of Tags and Filename

Use of quality tags and filename are part of SEO factors for YouTube videos. If you are concerned about YouTube SEO, then you can’t ignore these.

YouTube Tag

YouTube tags are used to highlight video content. It helps viewers to understand video content. However, you have to keep quality in your mind while creating tags for your videos. Tags should be relevant to the content of your videos. Tags can identify the category your video belongs to and help people discover your videos in the sidebar suggestions of “related videos” section.

Filename

The video file name should include your main keywords. It would be great if you are have used the similar keyword in video tile and description and tags. Filename should be relevant and descriptive enough to related with video content.

Adding Transcript

Search engines are bots and we all know that they can’t listen to audio, see image and watch videos but they do index texts. So having a transcript on your videos would help you to boost YouTube SEO. A transcript enables search engines to ingest your multimedia content and index it accordingly.

Every video has a title and description but content is blank for search engine bots/crawlers. Transcripts are body text of your video content and helps search engines to read it.

These are few factors of YouTube SEO. If you work smartly, according to above listed ranking factors, you could rank your videos on top.

However, when it comes to YouTube SEO, everyone look for easy options. So let’s talk about few YouTube SEO tools. Tools are always important for better performance if you are using correct tools and using tools wisely. Given below are few good “YouTube SEO Tools”.

TubeBuddy: This tool provides some amazing options to creators such as bulk video editing, Adding quick links, direct upload on social media channels i.e. Facebook, helps in social monitoring and so much more.
