This is a fantastic infographic on the strategies of every successful business-to-business (B2B) online system. As we work with our customers, this is relatively close to our engagements’ overall look and feel.
Simply doing B2B online marketing is not going to maximize success and your website isn’t going to just magically generate new business because it’s there and it looks good. You need the right strategies to attract visitors and convert them to customers. There are a lot of moving parts with a B2B online marketing and lead generation program, so we’ve designed this infographic to help you visualize the components and the overall process.

One area that I believe could utilize some additional strategy is the Content Marketing arena. While it’s essential to provide answers, much more can be done to increase the overall trust and authority of the brand online. Try to look at your content dimensionally… what do prospects need help with? What do customers want? What’s your differentiation in the industry? How can your content help your employees? Your investors or potential investors?
Thought leadership interviews and articles in leading industry publications can build awareness and position the company as a leader in your industry. Reviews and social interaction can increase both visibility and trust of the brand throughout. Not just content on your site matters – it’s also distributed and promoted content on other sites where the audience you wish to reach is already established.
