B2B Content Marketing

Difference Between SEO and PPC Ads

Content marketing, Digital Marketing, IDM, Performance MarketingLeave a comment

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. 
When I started my career in B2B content marketing, I found out that they were exactly what I thought they would be — minus the pointless-mumbo jumbo bit.
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. 
So, how do they differ?

How do You Know How Well Your Posts are Doing on Social Media

In the old days, even before the radio waves were discovered, which are now like the dark ages for us millennial populace, the social media which we know today was just the word of mouth and paper parchments. People persuasion, which we now take up to our Twitter profiles, used to happen through people who were known as heralds – the people standing on the pedestal with the common event calendar and announcements from the crown. Businesses would pay them every time they brought in something new for the masses. The heralds or influencers would then reach the people for them. While some would flock to the store, others would turn a deaf ear. The only measurement of ROI on the herald was the amount earned on the day the herald spoke. Although there was no need for further details, measuring your influence would have been easier back then. Today, the influence has been loaded up on social media for business and your audience has a lot of ways in which they react to your message for them. So how do you know if you’re doing well when you’re the herald yourself?

What you just read is one of many Shashi Tharoor’s tweets that showcases his vocabulary. Tweets like these have captured the attention of many people online. But, using such words in your blogs may not help you get your audience’s attention!
When I started working as a technical writer in a content writing agency, I used to include heavy and complex words in my blogs. But my seniors explained to me why my approach was wrong. Now, while writing technical content, I use contextual vocabulary that’s necessary, but I avoid words that would make my sentences complex. Hence, I ensure that my blogs are simple yet professional. Using heavy words can affect the readability of your blogs and affect the power of your messaging.
