WHAT IS LEAD GENERATION?
Lead Generation in digital marketing is the initiation of consumer interest or inquiry into products/services of a business through online or digital means. Lead generation refers to the process of identifying and reaching prospective customers, or leads, for your business. But it’s not enough to find these individuals — one has to cultivate a relationship with them and stimulate their interest in the product/service you have to offer. Marketers need to build an efficient lead generation strategy to manage every stage of the buyers’ journey: Drive traffic to the company website Convert those visitors into leads Nurture those leads into customers © 2020 Interics Designs Pvt.

KEEP BLOGGING
Blogging is probably the most effective lead generation strategy. Without it, your SEO efforts will lose their bite. Think from the buyer's perspective and create blogs with more personalised content. You could do guest blogging, talk about how your offering can help businesses indepth, and create a wide range of keyword-loaded content that can be found in search engines. These blogs must then be promoted on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. The blog post is the first step in the buyer’s journey, so be sure to include CTA buttons in the side bar and at the end of the post, as well as in-text links. Š 2020 Interics Designs Pvt.

Ensure your website:
WEBPAGE OPTIMISATION Since it all starts with driving traffic to your website, you need to ensure your website is functioning properly. On the user’s smartphone as well! Loading errors, lagging speed, poor user interface can negatively impact traffic. A lead generating website is user-friendly with easy navigation and clear CTAs, designed to make it easy for visitors to search and find what they want, understand your value proposition, request a quotation, etc. This also helps you to know who visited your website so a precise follow-up conversation can be taken up by a sales rep.

ROUTINE WEBSITE CHECKS AND KEYWORD UPDATION It's not enough to check only for bugs or when complaints come. Broken links, 404 error pages will drive visitors away forever. Routine checks are crucial to ensure the system is running smoothly. It's also important to make changes, improve user interface whenever required, and keep updating keywords based on researching the competition, adding long-tailed keywords, etc. to optimise content.

Connect and network with the people who matter
HARNESS SOCIAL MEDIA Many businesses have benefitted by social media marketing. While the style and content may vary from Twitter to LinkedIn to Facebook, social media helps you to connect and network with the people who matter for your business. Record podcasts, upload them on iTunes or SoundCloud. Spend on social media advertising or hire marketing bloggers to promote your company in a subtle manner. If you have a valuable lead magnet, highlight it on your social profiles. Leverage call-to-action buttons by linking them to your lead magnet instead of your home page.
