To create a digital marketing strategy for a B2B business, a digital marketing consulting must be performed. We need to know where the B2B business is right now, where does it want to be in the future, and how to fill this gap with a reasonable and affordable digital strategy.
To perform a digital marketing consulting for a B2B business, we need to design an ad hoc questionnaire specifically designed for B2B businesses. This ad hoc questionnaire will have several questions about the business, products, services, customers, prospects, competition, marketing and selling methodologies, digital marketing status, digital marketing owned channels, Google marketing products, Google website performance tests, Google webmaster, seo and links guidelines compliance.
Once we have all these information, then we can think about the digital marketing strategy. How should we approach the audience; what channels will we use to deliver the ads and the contents; what type of content should we produce, post and distribute; what type of ads should we deliver; what key phrases should we use in the content production; what will be the engagement strategy.
Then we can execute the strategy, after we have answer all these above questions.
Strategy execution has two phases. Phase one is to design and develop the owned media channels, the Google marketing products, and the compliance with the Google perform tests and guidelines. Phase two is to design and launch the content campaigns and the ads campaigns.
