Audio Content

 

Creating podcasts and other highly engaging audio content, such as radio shows, can be a great way to see a boost in the amount of organic traffic frequenting your company’s website, providing your target audience with highly useful information in a form that can be both more interesting as well as entertaining when compared to the average blog post. Podcasts can be highly captivating, acting as an extremely useful medium for both listeners and businesses alike.

 

Unfortunately, the majority of companies choose not to implement audio content into their digital marketing campaigns, however, this does not mean that they do not act an ideal addition to any pre-existing content strategy. As a number of businesses do not opt for the use of podcasts as a way to market their company, there is little competition out there, despite their ever increasing rise in popularity within more recent years; podcast audiences are also the most likely audience interested in your industry and what your business has to offer to them, making them a great source of both potential customers and organic traffic to your website.

The introduction of audio content to your marketing campaign can also help to establish your business as a leader within your industry, further increasing the presence of E.A.T (expertise, authoritativeness, trustworthiness) factors that are seen to be required within the modern-day SEO strategy.

Podcasts offer businesses with the opportunity to grown a dedicated traffic base through the frequent publication of high quality, engaging audio content.

Much like podcasts, video content offers a highly engaging way to grab the attention of your target audience, holding the capability to drive a significant amount of organic traffic to your company website as a result.
Working to produce video content within your usual content marketing strategy should help your company to open itself up to a whole new stream of traffic frequenting your website, and with a total of over 1 billion users worldwide, YouTube should be used as an essential tool and source of high-quality traffic within this plan.
