Digital marketing covers a variety of activities. These often include SEO, SEM, content marketing, influencer marketing, content automation, social media marketing, and email marketing.
SEO (search engine optimization) involves optimizing your website content to align with search engine algorithms. This includes keyword research, generating inbound links, and optimizing content. Backlinko.com offers useful examples of SEO practices.
SEM (search engine marketing) refers to paid advertising on search engines, like Google AdWords. This type of marketing appears when you search for popular keywords.
Content marketing focuses on building relationships with potential customers by providing valuable content through a website or blog. This often complements SEO and forms part of a broader inbound marketing strategy. HubSpot is a good example of using blog content to engage users with their brand.
Influencer marketing involves partnering with market leaders or celebrities to reach your target audience. For instance, McDonald’s collaboration with Travis Scott exemplifies this approach. Today, many brands use influencers on platforms like X or Instagram to promote their products and build brand loyalty.
Content automation delivers relevant content to potential customers via email or similar channels. An example is drip emails sent after downloading an ebook.
Social media marketing uses various platforms to monitor and respond to public conversations about a brand or industry. It can be proactive, like Wendy’s witty responses to customer tweets, or reactive, like Starbucks' rapid response to feedback on their seasonal drinks.
Email marketing is a well-established method that uses email to connect with potential customers through ads, personalized messages, requests, and helpful resources.
