Master B2B Blogging - Guide and Case Study to get leads from B2B Blog

Turning Blog posts into Lead Gen Sites: B2B Blog Marketing

I know what frustrations you are having.

You are probably an ambitious marketer, trying to push hard to get your campaign results to the next level.

You are running Facebook ads, Google ads or simply having a website presence with a blog. Sounds about right?

One of our customers had the exact same frustration.

They are B2B research company, quite active in digital marketing. A strong blog with unique content, but a weak blog lead generation.

A website that gets more than 4000 visitors per month, original content from highly skilled researchers that has shown good engagement.

Where's the problem?

Guess what...

They forgot one crucial thing:

They didn't commit to master the lead generation game. It was simply never the aim to capture leads from blog marketing before.

It was a research-base for customers and prospects to find out about the company and their work.

However, building a website and writing great content ultimately won't be enough to help you grow.

You need an intention and goals how you define lead generation success and then execute.

And that's exactly what happened.
