Online marketing will still be an important part of any business strategy in 2022, but the investments made in online marketing strategies will be much higher than in previous years. The cost of online advertising and search engine marketing is rising, and it is becoming more difficult to appear on the top pages of search engine results. This means that companies investing in online marketing strategies will have to spend a lot more money than they would expect to get a good ROI.
Instead, in 2022, companies should invest more in creating high-quality content, accelerating their website speed, optimizing for search engines, and improving user experience. These areas are a much more worthwhile investment, as they have a direct impact on a website's rankings and therefore also help drive more qualified visitors to the site.
In addition, businesses should also invest in social media marketing strategies to increase their reach and build brand awareness. This can help drive more traffic to the website and generate more qualified leads. Companies can also invest in email marketing to build a stronger connection with existing customers and generate new leads.
In this way, companies can get much more out of their online marketing efforts in 2022 than if they only invest in expensive advertising campaigns.
In the B2B sector, e.g. for software, click prices of 5 to 7 € are not unusual. Often, a large number of providers or service providers compete in this not only regionally limited, but nationally or even internationally and vie for the attention of potential customers in the search results.
Apart from the fact that many users nowadays use adblockers, and providers thus do not even come into the focus of prospects, the probability of actually turning "clickers" into customers is very low. The rate that describes the relationship between the number of visitors and purchases in a certain period of time is the so-called conversion rate. Here, rates in the low single-digit percentage range are absolutely common, 1-3% are already quite good values for most online stores.
If it does not succeed, at least the contact details of the potential customer to get, for example, by a newsletter registration, are quickly 5€ or 7€ costs incurred, without the customer would visit the website or the store again with high probability. Because: most of your website visitors will not come back.
It is therefore helpful for B2B providers to record and systematically follow up on any company hosts (IP addresses from a website visitor's company network). Although this is more difficult in times of home office and so decentralized from the private Internet connection called potential customers, there is always the possibility with the right tools to determine which companies have visited your website or your store and thus currently have concrete demand for your products or services.
In order to convince potential customers of yourself and your products and services, it is worth investing in the creation of free content that you provide at regular intervals, e.g. in the blog section of your website. In the course of time you will get more so-called organic search engine traffic and more visibility on the market - without any additional advertising costs. In addition to the use of SEO-relevant terms, consistency, i.e. regular content creation, is crucial. Another measure to get more website visitors is to create a glossary that briefly explains the most important customer- & product-relevant terms. Once created, you will benefit from a higher volume of visitors in the long run.
