In this journey through LinkedIn mastery, discover how compelling content becomes the cornerstone for building brand trust and achieving unparalleled success in B2B marketing.

Increase Visibility & Engagement

Organic Visibility

While engaging posts on LinkedIn are great for maintaining your social profile, quality articles and content posted to the site are visible to your followers and those searching the LinkedIn platform. By creating content on specific topics of interest, your business naturally increases visibility on the platform and can become a top result in relevant searches.

But search visibility doesn't stop here. LinkedIn content is also highly visible in Google search results. If you're interested in capturing top organic placement, LinkedIn articles are an essential component of your digital marketing strategy. The potential of a single LinkedIn content piece knows no bounds, positioning your brand for organic success in rankings across prominent search platforms.

Dwell Time

When a user finds your article and reads the content, LinkedIn (and Google) are taking notice of just how long they are spending on that particular page. The higher the quality of the content, the more likely the user is to read it in its entirety. This increases your article's "dwell time" or time on the page.

Google and LinkedIn both love and highly favor content with high dwell time. This means that by simply causing people to read your article, you are increasing your entire company profile's visibility and growth potential.

On Article Engagement

On LinkedIn, users have the ability not just to consume your content but also to engage with it by commenting and sharing their feedback. This invaluable free resource provides you with insights into what clients and prospects deem valuable, offering a deeper understanding of their search patterns, buying behaviors, and preferences.

Increase Thought Leadership + Build Stronger Connections

High-quality content demonstrates your expertise within your industry. Developing highly targeted, specific, and helpful content builds trust and connection online. Sometimes posts aren't enough space to share all of the valuable insight that your company has to offer. Articles are the perfect avenue for sharing valuable knowledge and demonstrating a genuine desire to help others succeed and problem solve.

Content Creation Best Practices

Now that we've tackled the "why" behind LinkedIn content generation, let's look at best practices to empower your organization in crafting compelling professional content. 

01. Resonate with Your Audience

Content should be intentionally niche and specific, tailored to speak directly to a particular audience. Choose a distinct buyer persona, considering their background, interests, and challenges when crafting your articles.

02. Develop Compelling Headlines + Introductions

Create a headline that grabs attention and clearly conveys the article's value. Your introduction should be engaging and highlight the main points of what you'll cover and why it matters to your reader. Make it clear why your audience should invest time in reading your article. Remember, the more time they spend on your article, the better! 

03. Structure Your Article with Intention

Organize your article with a clear structure, including headings and subheadings. Use short paragraphs and bullet points to enhance readability. Break down complex ideas into digestible sections, making it easy for readers to follow your thoughts.

04. Incorporate Visual Elements

Incorporate visuals such as images, infographics, or videos to make your article visually appealing. Visual elements help break up text, illustrate key points, and enhance overall comprehension. Ensure that your visuals are relevant and of high quality.

05. Engage with Your Audience

Encourage interaction by asking questions, seeking opinions, or inviting readers to share their experiences in the comments. Respond to comments promptly to foster a sense of community around your content. Engagement not only improves the visibility of your article but also helps you build relationships within your network.

Develop Content that Produces Revenue

Repurpose + Reuse

Creating quality content does not mean that you need to reinvent the wheel. Evaluate your current repository of blogs, articles, content, case studies, and white papers. Breathe new life into old but relevant content to create quality LinkedIn articles with an existing outline.

Trust the Data

Remember to check the data! Dive into your analytics platform to determine if any current content across your website or social media channels has piqued the interest of your customer base. Utilize this information in your content mapping strategy to ensure that you are spending time generating content that is likely to produce the highest return.

Tie in SEO Strategies

Are there keywords or phrases that your organization would like to see more visibility from? Strategically creating content based on those words or phrases can help improve LinkedIn visibility and engagement and overall SEO and Google organic placement.
