Before I started working for a B2B content marketing agency, I thought good writing was all it took to rank articles on Google’s first page of search results.
I used to think SEO and PPC are pointless mumbo-jumbo thrown around by the SEO team to confound their bosses and ensure they aren’t deemed surplus to requirements.
All I knew about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) was that it is the process of making your content rank at the top of Google’s search results. And that PPC (Pay-per-click) is an advertising model where you pay for every time someone clicks on your promoted content or online ads.

Turned out, SEO and PPC are, in fact, among the most important aspects of content marketing, secondary only to the quality of the content you put out.
Search engine optimization and pay-per-click advertising are two sides of the same content marketing coin. They are different ways to achieve the same objective — delivering your content to the right target audience.

As common human beings, we try using our brain to its full capacity. But the tantrums of the human mind plays us every time, and as a result, an average human loses concentration or interest in things within just 8 seconds. Everything is boring to us if it is not engaging enough or doesn’t have a contribution to our opinions.
In today’s age, the increase in the number of online users has compelled businesses to shift from traditional marketing to digital marketing. One of the modern strategies of digital marketing includes using social media to grab the attention of the audience. Talking about social media, it is estimated that there will be over 2.77 billion social media users worldwide by 2019.

So social media is an apt platform for B-schools to reach out to prospective students.
Now apart from the sheer number of people available on social media, here are some other reasons why a B-school should use social media.

Yes, that’s true, but apart from being active, you also need to have engaging posts that address prospective students, current students, and alumni all at one place! Social media for B-schools allows you to do exactly that.
