Most biotech companies regularly create marketing content such as webinars, presentations, publications, posters…...
The list goes on
Creating and promoting content is essential for advancing growth.
Getting the right content in front of the right people
increases awareness, builds trust and credibility, and generates opportunities.
The risk of biotech content marketing is that
the content you create will either attract, repel, or get missed entirely by the people you want to see it.
However, you can improve the chances for success and minimize risk by
following four basic steps before spending time and resources on content development.
1. Define your purpose and goals
Define why you’re creating the content – whatever type of content that might be - and what you hope to achieve with it.
Once you know the purpose and desired outcomes, you can measure progress
and continuously optimize until you reach the most successful results.
2. Know your audience
Outline who you want to read your content , why the topic is important to them
and the most logical next steps in the buyers’ journey.
Understanding your audience and what’s important to them
will ensure your content is interesting, relevant, and valuable.
3. Address Content Optimization
Content optimization is the foundation for getting maximum value from each piece of content you develop.
The basic optimization strategies include:
First and foremost, search engine optimization
Define what target keywords or phrases you want to rank for on Google
and include them in the content according to on-page SEO best practices.
There's also conversion optimization
Create a clear path from the user engaging with the content to converting into an interested lead.
And, also consider design and usability optimization
Follow web and graphic design best practices to ensure the content is easy to read, understand, and use.
4. Create a Content Promotion Plan
Biotech marketing content only has value if people see it,
so it’s essential to map out a plan to get it in front of your target audience.
Some basic tactics include email marketing, social media, and paid advertising.
Of course, there are many more options available to promote your content.
Choose the approaches that align most closely with your goals and target audience.
The biotech content marketing basics may seem like a no-brainer on the surface,
but in a fast-paced environment, they often get overlooked.
Making them a standard practice for your content development efforts will
ensure you get the best results from your investment.
