Did you know that 60% of consumers feel more positive about a company after reading custom content on their website?
This means the more material you make available for your customers and prospects, the more they’ll want to do business at your oil change shop.
Filling up your business’s website with superb content to draw more customers and drive stronger sales is called content marketing. Today, we’re going to address exactly what content marketing is and provide some great tips on how you can master your content strategy this year.
HOW CONTENT MARKETING WORKS
Think about the last time you went to a business website or read a news article. Your brain is already so used to surfing websites that you probably ignored their banners, flashy advertisements, slogans, etc. What your brain did lock onto was the reason you clicked that link in the first place, the informative material you’re interested in.
Why?
Because you, like every other digital consumer, understand where the important stuff is – the content. Your website visitors and social media followers are the same. In order to keep their interest and garner more respect for your oil change shop, you should develop and implement a powerful content strategy ASAP.
CONTENT STRATEGIES FOR YOUR OIL CHANGE SHOP
Most of content marketing strategies for oil change shops revolve around blogs, articles, and detailed resource guides. These posts can cover a vast range of helpful topics for your readers, making you a local leader in your industry. With the right amount of insightful content, you can become a respected voice across your region or even worldwide.
The average blog post has a 6 to 13 word title and ideally ranges from 500-1000 words in length. If your content is unique (not plagiarized from another website!) and written in a way your readers find engaging and useful, you could see immediate results. In fact, small businesses with blogs report 126 percent more lead growth than small businesses without a blog.
