[askchilchuck]

I’m sending my evil army of crabs to unleash the horrors on you >:)

What do you mean-

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY!?

[voxofthevoid]

I'm new to the jjk fandom, and it seems that the fandom likes to compare yuuji with yuuta, as well as yuuji and megumi and calling them the better character? like I get that there's always a rivalry in shounen anime, but why do the fandom seem to underestimate yuuji so much? I love yuuji but it's sad that he's receiving so much shit when he's actually doing so well, considering he just joined as a sorcerer not too long ago. what do you think about this as someone who loves yuuji too?

Ah, the plight of Yuuji fans. My sympathies, anon. I very much understand the frustration 😔

I get why people would like Yuuta or Megumi more. That always comes down to a matter of taste, and honestly, I like Megumi a lot and generally find Yuuta amusing/entertaining. I can easily see why people would stan them (and let's be real, every character has someone stanning them). "Better" character in terms of the actual narrative is more of an objective measure, and I'll kill and cannibalize on the hill of it being Yuuji. My personal ranking is Yuuji > Megumi > Yuuta when it comes to these three characters' writing and their roles in the overall narrative.

The funny part is that, unlike most shonen, there's barely any rivalry within the narrative. Yuuta and Yuuji respect each other and get along well, and while Megumi seems to want to catch up to Yuuji, you never get the sense that it's for the sake of power; it's more like he wants to stand with Yuuji.

And that right there is how I mostly cope. I love canon, and despite some of the dubious writing decisions lately, I'm still in love with these characters and storylines. That makes it relatively easy to go "well, you're entitled to your wrong opinions" when I see spectacularly bad takes. I also try my best to curate my fandom experience, though that's easier on Tumblr than Reddit (which is where I find most of the pointless comparison posts and thinly veiled wankfests masquerading as meta). I still see shit and snap, which you can see on my blog sometimes. But I have a good number of friends in JJK who also love Yuuji, so I usually just stroll into their DMs to rant about people misunderstanding or mischaracterizing him.

Overall, I'm pretty set in my fandom opinions and used to just doing my own thing in a corner with like-minded fandom folks. The rest gets ignored unless I'm directly addressed.

Good luck navigating the JJK waters, anon! For what it's worth, there are a lot of us who adore Yuuji. I hope you find plenty of kindred souls and enjoy yourself. And think of it this way—the only person who undermines Yuuji in canon is Sukuna, and that's the same guy who blocked Yuuji's punch with three whole arms. He's in denial.

11 Proven Ways to Increase Dwell Time

Are you doing everything you can to rank for a specific keyword? Are you struggling to get on even the first page, much less the top?

Here’s the thing: there’s a good chance you are making a ton of mistakes that sends users back to the SERP.

After developing hundreds of high-ranking pages, I’m here to show you the role dwell time plays in ranking and how you can increase it.

Before I share 11 strategies to increase your dwell time, let’s look at what dwell time is and why it matters.

What is Dwell Time?

Dwell time is the length of time a user spends on your page before returning to SERP. Most SEOs consider dwell time to be a ranking signal, though Google hasn’t confirmed it.

As an example, let’s say you want to establish a better morning routine. So you Google “morning rituals.”

You click on the first result. But the page is hard to navigate, and the content’s not useful.

Within a few seconds, you hit back on your browser and click on the second result.

The second page has excellent content, and the website is easy to scroll through. You end up spending six minutes there and then go back to the SERP.

Now, if other people also spend more time on the second page, Google may factor that in their page rankings and demote the current first result. That will bump the #2 result up to #1.

Although Google hasn’t gone on the record to say dwell time is a ranking factor, the closest thing we’ve got so far is a Google engineer sharing this tidbit:

“So when search was invented… they wrote heuristics that had figure out what the relationship between a search and the best page for that search was. And those heuristics worked pretty well and continue to work pretty well.

But Google is now integrating machine learning into that process. So then training models on when someone clicks on a page and stays on that page, when they go back or when they and trying to figure out exactly on that relationship.”

Here’s another strong indicator that dwell time is at least a mild ranking factor: Google used to let you hide specific websites on the SERP after visiting them.

If you bounce fast from a page, you could block all results from a domain – because Google knew that if people left a page quickly, there was a good chance they didn’t like the content.

Over time, that feature was dropped, likely as Google better understood which sites were most useful.

Dwell Time Versus Time On Page

You may have heard of time on page, which is the amount of time a user is on a page until they go anywhere else.

Time on page is based on two clicks:

1. A user visits your website.

2. The user then clicks on another page on your website.

The big difference between time on page and dwell time is whether or not the visitor went to another page on your website. With time on page, they have to visit a second page on your website for Google Analytics to take the session into account.

If a user only visits one page on your website, Google Analytics shows time on page for the session as zero.

Here are 11 strategies to increase your pages’ dwell time.

Hook Readers In

You have one shot at making a great first impression from the SERP. One web usability study found the first 10 seconds of a page visit are critical for determining if a visitor stays or goes.

Are your blog post introductions reeling in readers? To encourage dwell time, each introduction needs to be interesting and relevant to your target keywords.

Take this example from a recent post about spying on your competitor’s SEO.

The open-ended question is the hook. The follow-up sentence is brief and touches on a universal pain point. It also acts as a transition guiding the reader to the thesis.

This hook isn’t like a traditional university paper thesis, though. It’s a teaser of what readers can expect in your article.  

Divide Into Snackable Sections

Your introduction gets site visitors engaged and excited to continue reading.

Use H2’s to break content into sections, so it’s easy to read. It also makes it easier for folks to go back and reference your content later.

A good example is this article on defining your target audience.

Another way to make your content easier to consume is to turn succinct lists intobullet-pointt format. These make content easier to read and help users find the meat of the content faster.

Another way to engage readers is to use a ton of screenshots and other visuals to illustrate your points.

Create a Multimedia Experience

Infographics aren’t just great for referral traffic. Visuals can also help keep your site visitors engaged.

For example, check out this content layering infographic. It makes a complex topic easier to digest and understand.

Image source

Here are a few tools you can use to create visuals for your content quickly:

Canva

Venngage

Piktochart

Visme

Video can also encourage visitors to stick around. 80% of marketers said in a Wyzowl survey video increased the dwell time on their website. Embedding videos in your content can too.

Here are a few different strategies to increase the effectiveness of video:

Use an eye-catching video thumbnail so users will click and watch.

Customer testimonial videos and product videos can be a powerful way to push conversions.

Embed video explaining a specific strategy or concept you touch on within your content. Use the video for diving deeper into the strategy.

Share a video from a popular YouTube channel in your content. Then reach out to the producers, as there may be opportunities for social referral traffic.

Insert a video containing information with related content.

Match Search Intent

If you’re looking to rank #1 for a keyword on Google, you need to be the most relevant query. In other words, the content on your page needs to reflect a searcher’s intent, the reason for the search.

Let’s say you’re trying to rank for “best spa” in NYC.

Google knows the most relevant results from millions of searchers who have either bounced or stuck around pages. In this case, spa options based on a searcher’s location and the best spas worldwide are the top results.  

A landing page spotlighting a specific spa won’t work. However, charts showing different destination spa’s amenities and price comparison tools may be effective.  

The four most common types of search intent are:

Information

A searcher is looking for general information (“How can I interpret my dreams?”)  or an answer to a specific question (“How old is Elon Musk?”)

More examples of information searches:

“When is NBA draft”

“LAX Terminal 4 to 5 directions”

“Howard Schultz”

Brand

The searcher is looking for a specific website or brand. They may forget the URL or find it easier to Google a brand than type out the site’s address.

Examples of brand searches:

“Instagram login”

“Ubersuggest”

“Neil Patel guide to Local SEO”

Inquiry

With an inquiry search, a searcher shows interest in an item or solution but is still researching and comparing their options.

Examples of inquiry searches:

“best spas”

“United versus Delta”

“Ubersuggest reviews”

Transaction

In a transaction search, the searcher is ready to buy. They are either looking for the best price or trying to find a specific item or service.

Examples of transaction searches:

“Chipotles near me”

“buy iPad pro”

“athletic greens coupon”

Now let’s say a spa decides to target “corporate wellness retreats.” Here are the steps they can take to do competitive research on Ubersuggest:

First, review search volume and keyword difficulty under “Keyword Ideas.”

Next, analyze the top SERP results for that keyword.

Are the top results product pages, blog posts, or another format? For a search of “corporate wellness retreat,” we can see most of the top 10 results are landing pages.

As you review each page, take notes on the page’s content to see how you can improve.

You can also review on-page optimizations, such as the use of keywords in headlines and subheadings and any other factors encouraging dwell time.

Then review the top results off-page SEO strategy. Copy the URL of any result into Ubersuggest and select overview to see more about the domain, including:

The number of backlinks pointing to their domain

Domain score; the higher the number, the more authoritative a site is, and the higher it will rank in Google

The number of unique domains linking back to their domain

Craft In-depth Content

In most cases, longer content gets more traffic. Since it takes more time to read, more robust content boosts dwell time.

Help encourage visitors to stick around by providing the go-to resource for a specific query using the Skyscraper technique (a term initially coined by Brian Dean of Backlinko). 

All skyscraper content has one or more of the following elements:

Useful: Does it provide step-by-step instructions where possible? Are you providing your reader with clear takeaways?

Entertaining: Does your content draw in your reader either through a compelling narrative, hook, or funny bits?

User Experience: Is your content easy to navigate and skim? Does content logically flow? Is the content accessible in tone and style? In particular, it doesn’t read like a post-graduate paper or use larger words than needed.

Each of the eight steps in this article on monetizing your blog shows you don’t need a massive amount of traffic to start making money. Readers can also see a ton of examples where they can draw inspiration.

By creating thorough content it ranks #1 for highly competitive keywords and readers spend an average of over 4 minutes on the page.

Enable Comments

Open up your blog to questions and discussion in the comments. Just like here, where I try to reply to all comments.

People want to read others’ comments. Other readers likely have the same questions and can contain additional valuable responses from the author.

As people read or add in their own comments, their dwell time goes up.

Plus, you can get a ton of great feedback with your site visitors, like the comment below.

Create Interactive Elements

Interactive content not only keeps users on your page longer, it can also improve the user experience.

Quizzes, polls, downloadable assessments, and calculators are all features that can help site visitors work through the specific issue they came to your site to solve.

Establish Next Steps

If someone wants to learn more about a specific topic you’ve covered, make it easy to access with an internal link.

Internal links not only help keep users on your site, but are another key feature for on-page optimization.

Your internal links can also guide users to take the next step along your inbound funnel.

As you may know, a pillar page is a central piece on a website covering a topic in-depth.  

Let’s say you’re looking to target a keyword with significant volume like “camper living.”

Once you create a pillar page targeting the keyword, you may develop a blog post reviewing an RV essential like a mobile hotspot. Then link to this piece on your pillar page.

Increase Your Site Speed

Part of making a great first impression — and preventing people from hitting the back button on your site — is ensuring your pages load fast.

47% of consumers expect a page to load in two seconds or less.

A few tools to help speed up your site:

Page Speed Insights

Pingdom Website Speed Test

WebPageTest

GTmetrix

Mobile First

More than half of worldwide traffic comes from mobile devices, which means you need to provide a mobile-first experience on your website.

What does that mean? Your site needs to perform well on mobile devices, not just desktop.

Here’s how you can double-check your pages are optimized for mobile:

Visit Google Search Console.

Click “Mobile Usability.”

If any errors show in Search Console, click the error for details on how to fix the issue on your site.

Google’s support documentation that is linked in the results also provides more info on specific errors.

Level Up the Copy

You can have the best content but still fail to resonate with your readers.

Are all the sentences in your content the same length? Do paragraphs begin the same way? It will get boring.

Copywriting techniques are the ace up your sleeve. Here are a few strategies to keep your writing engaging you can take from copy masters:

Make it simple. Make it memorable. Make it inviting to look at. Make it fun to read. 

-Leo Burnett

Can you say the same thing in fewer words? Are their compelling stories or statistics you can use to draw in a reader?

Copy is a direct conversation with the consumer.

– Shirley Polykoff

Keep the conversation going by mirroring your customers. Not sure what your audience is thinking? Survey your current and existing customers.

Have sections where readers may get overwhelmed or bored? Use Bucket Brigades, a term penned by Brian Dean. These phrases that help bridge two sentences and lead readers through content.

These phrases are instant attention grabbers and keep readers from bouncing:

Pro-tip:

Here’s the deal:

Now:

What’s the bottom line?

You might be wondering:

This is crazy:

It gets better/worse:

But here’s the kicker:

Want to know the best part?

Conclusion

All of these techniques can help increase dwell time. But let your rankings and analytics reveal the most effective elements for your content. Start at the top of the list and try each strategy. For example, you might find that your users respond to interactive elements or that they prefer lists.

Once you see what works, you can fine-tune your strategy.

Which strategy will you try first?

A good example is this article on defining your target audience.

Another way to make your content easier to consume is to turn succinct lists intobullet-pointt format. These make content easier to read and help users find the meat of the content faster.

Another way to engage readers is to use a ton of screenshots and other visuals to illustrate your points.

Create a Multimedia Experience

Infographics aren’t just great for referral traffic. Visuals can also help keep your site visitors engaged.

For example, check out this content layering infographic. It makes a complex topic easier to digest and understand.

Image source

Here are a few tools you can use to create visuals for your content quickly:

Canva

Venngage

Piktochart

Visme

Video can also encourage visitors to stick around. 80% of marketers said in a Wyzowl survey video increased the dwell time on their website. Embedding videos in your content can too.

Here are a few different strategies to increase the effectiveness of video:

Use an eye-catching video thumbnail so users will click and watch.

Customer testimonial videos and product videos can be a powerful way to push conversions.

Embed video explaining a specific strategy or concept you touch on within your content. Use the video for diving deeper into the strategy.

Share a video from a popular YouTube channel in your content. Then reach out to the producers, as there may be opportunities for social referral traffic.

Insert a video containing information with related content.

Match Search Intent

If you’re looking to rank #1 for a keyword on Google, you need to be the most relevant query. In other words, the content on your page needs to reflect a searcher’s intent, the reason for the search.

Let’s say you’re trying to rank for “best spa” in NYC.

Google knows the most relevant results from millions of searchers who have either bounced or stuck around pages. In this case, spa options based on a searcher’s location and the best spas worldwide are the top results.  

A landing page spotlighting a specific spa won’t work. However, charts showing different destination spa’s amenities and price comparison tools may be effective.  

The four most common types of search intent are:

Information

A searcher is looking for general information (“How can I interpret my dreams?”)  or an answer to a specific question (“How old is Elon Musk?”)

More examples of information searches:

“When is NBA draft”

“LAX Terminal 4 to 5 directions”

“Howard Schultz”

Brand

The searcher is looking for a specific website or brand. They may forget the URL or find it easier to Google a brand than type out the site’s address.

Examples of brand searches:

“Instagram login”

“Ubersuggest”

“Neil Patel guide to Local SEO”

Inquiry

With an inquiry search, a searcher shows interest in an item or solution but is still researching and comparing their options.

Examples of inquiry searches:

“best spas”

“United versus Delta”

“Ubersuggest reviews”

Transaction

In a transaction search, the searcher is ready to buy. They are either looking for the best price or trying to find a specific item or service.

Examples of transaction searches:

“Chipotles near me”

“buy iPad pro”

“athletic greens coupon”

Now let’s say a spa decides to target “corporate wellness retreats.” Here are the steps they can take to do competitive research on Ubersuggest:

First, review search volume and keyword difficulty under “Keyword Ideas.”

Next, analyze the top SERP results for that keyword.

Are the top results product pages, blog posts, or another format? For a search of “corporate wellness retreat,” we can see most of the top 10 results are landing pages.

As you review each page, take notes on the page’s content to see how you can improve.

You can also review on-page optimizations, such as the use of keywords in headlines and subheadings and any other factors encouraging dwell time.

Then review the top results off-page SEO strategy. Copy the URL of any result into Ubersuggest and select overview to see more about the domain, including:

The number of backlinks pointing to their domain

Domain score; the higher the number, the more authoritative a site is, and the higher it will rank in Google

The number of unique domains linking back to their domain

Craft In-depth Content

In most cases, longer content gets more traffic. Since it takes more time to read, more robust content boosts dwell time.

Help encourage visitors to stick around by providing the go-to resource for a specific query using the Skyscraper technique (a term initially coined by Brian Dean of Backlinko). 

All skyscraper content has one or more of the following elements:

Useful: Does it provide step-by-step instructions where possible? Are you providing your reader with clear takeaways?

Entertaining: Does your content draw in your reader either through a compelling narrative, hook, or funny bits?

User Experience: Is your content easy to navigate and skim? Does content logically flow? Is the content accessible in tone and style? In particular, it doesn’t read like a post-graduate paper or use larger words than needed.

Each of the eight steps in this article on monetizing your blog shows you don’t need a massive amount of traffic to start making money. Readers can also see a ton of examples where they can draw inspiration.

By creating thorough content it ranks #1 for highly competitive keywords and readers spend an average of over 4 minutes on the page.

Enable Comments

Open up your blog to questions and discussion in the comments. Just like here, where I try to reply to all comments.

People want to read others’ comments. Other readers likely have the same questions and can contain additional valuable responses from the author.

As people read or add in their own comments, their dwell time goes up.

Plus, you can get a ton of great feedback with your site visitors, like the comment below.

Create Interactive Elements

Interactive content not only keeps users on your page longer, it can also improve the user experience.

Quizzes, polls, downloadable assessments, and calculators are all features that can help site visitors work through the specific issue they came to your site to solve.

Establish Next Steps

If someone wants to learn more about a specific topic you’ve covered, make it easy to access with an internal link.

Internal links not only help keep users on your site, but are another key feature for on-page optimization.

Your internal links can also guide users to take the next step along your inbound funnel.

As you may know, a pillar page is a central piece on a website covering a topic in-depth.  

Let’s say you’re looking to target a keyword with significant volume like “camper living.”

Once you create a pillar page targeting the keyword, you may develop a blog post reviewing an RV essential like a mobile hotspot. Then link to this piece on your pillar page.

Increase Your Site Speed

Part of making a great first impression — and preventing people from hitting the back button on your site — is ensuring your pages load fast.

47% of consumers expect a page to load in two seconds or less.

A few tools to help speed up your site:

Page Speed Insights

Pingdom Website Speed Test

WebPageTest

GTmetrix

Mobile First

More than half of worldwide traffic comes from mobile devices, which means you need to provide a mobile-first experience on your website.

What does that mean? Your site needs to perform well on mobile devices, not just desktop.

Here’s how you can double-check your pages are optimized for mobile:

Visit Google Search Console.

Click “Mobile Usability.”

If any errors show in Search Console, click the error for details on how to fix the issue on your site.

Google’s support documentation that is linked in the results also provides more info on specific errors.

Level Up the Copy

You can have the best content but still fail to resonate with your readers.

Are all the sentences in your content the same length? Do paragraphs begin the same way? It will get boring.

Copywriting techniques are the ace up your sleeve. Here are a few strategies to keep your writing engaging you can take from copy masters:

Make it simple. Make it memorable. Make it inviting to look at. Make it fun to read. 

-Leo Burnett

Can you say the same thing in fewer words? Are their compelling stories or statistics you can use to draw in a reader?

Copy is a direct conversation with the consumer.

– Shirley Polykoff

Keep the conversation going by mirroring your customers. Not sure what your audience is thinking? Survey your current and existing customers.

Have sections where readers may get overwhelmed or bored? Use Bucket Brigades, a term penned by Brian Dean. These phrases that help bridge two sentences and lead readers through content.

These phrases are instant attention grabbers and keep readers from bouncing:

Pro-tip:

Here’s the deal:

Now:

What’s the bottom line?

You might be wondering:

This is crazy:

It gets better/worse:

But here’s the kicker:

Want to know the best part?

Conclusion

All of these techniques can help increase dwell time. But let your rankings and analytics reveal the most effective elements for your content. Start at the top of the list and try each strategy. For example, you might find that your users respond to interactive elements or that they prefer lists.

Once you see what works, you can fine-tune your strategy.

Which strategy will you try first?

11 Proven Ways to Increase Dwell Time

Are you doing everything you can to rank for a specific keyword? Are you struggling to get on even the first page, much less the top?

Here’s the thing: there’s a good chance you are making a ton of mistakes that sends users back to the SERP.

After developing hundreds of high-ranking pages, I’m here to show you the role dwell time plays in ranking and how you can increase it.

Before I share 11 strategies to increase your dwell time, let’s look at what dwell time is and why it matters.

What is Dwell Time?

Dwell time is the length of time a user spends on your page before returning to SERP. Most SEOs consider dwell time to be a ranking signal, though Google hasn’t confirmed it.

As an example, let’s say you want to establish a better morning routine. So you Google “morning rituals.”

You click on the first result. But the page is hard to navigate, and the content’s not useful.

Within a few seconds, you hit back on your browser and click on the second result.

The second page has excellent content, and the website is easy to scroll through. You end up spending six minutes there and then go back to the SERP.

Now, if other people also spend more time on the second page, Google may factor that in their page rankings and demote the current first result. That will bump the #2 result up to #1.

Although Google hasn’t gone on the record to say dwell time is a ranking factor, the closest thing we’ve got so far is a Google engineer sharing this tidbit:

“So when search was invented… they wrote heuristics that had figure out what the relationship between a search and the best page for that search was. And those heuristics worked pretty well and continue to work pretty well.

But Google is now integrating machine learning into that process. So then training models on when someone clicks on a page and stays on that page, when they go back or when they and trying to figure out exactly on that relationship.”

Here’s another strong indicator that dwell time is at least a mild ranking factor: Google used to let you hide specific websites on the SERP after visiting them.

If you bounce fast from a page, you could block all results from a domain – because Google knew that if people left a page quickly, there was a good chance they didn’t like the content.

Over time, that feature was dropped, likely as Google better understood which sites were most useful.

Dwell Time Versus Time On Page

You may have heard of time on page, which is the amount of time a user is on a page until they go anywhere else.

Time on page is based on two clicks:

1. A user visits your website.

2. The user then clicks on another page on your website.

The big difference between time on page and dwell time is whether or not the visitor went to another page on your website. With time on page, they have to visit a second page on your website for Google Analytics to take the session into account.

If a user only visits one page on your website, Google Analytics shows time on page for the session as zero.

Here are 11 strategies to increase your pages’ dwell time.

Hook Readers In

You have one shot at making a great first impression from the SERP. One web usability study found the first 10 seconds of a page visit are critical for determining if a visitor stays or goes.

Are your blog post introductions reeling in readers? To encourage dwell time, each introduction needs to be interesting and relevant to your target keywords.

Take this example from a recent post about spying on your competitor’s SEO.

The open-ended question is the hook. The follow-up sentence is brief and touches on a universal pain point. It also acts as a transition guiding the reader to the thesis.

This hook isn’t like a traditional university paper thesis, though. It’s a teaser of what readers can expect in your article.  

Divide Into Snackable Sections

Your introduction gets site visitors engaged and excited to continue reading.

Use H2’s to break content into sections, so it’s easy to read. It also makes it easier for folks to go back and reference your content later.

A good example is this article on defining your target audience.

Another way to make your content easier to consume is to turn succinct lists intobullet-pointt format. These make content easier to read and help users find the meat of the content faster.

Another way to engage readers is to use a ton of screenshots and other visuals to illustrate your points.

Create a Multimedia Experience

Infographics aren’t just great for referral traffic. Visuals can also help keep your site visitors engaged.

For example, check out this content layering infographic. It makes a complex topic easier to digest and understand.

Image source

Here are a few tools you can use to create visuals for your content quickly:

Canva

Venngage

Piktochart

Visme

Video can also encourage visitors to stick around. 80% of marketers said in a Wyzowl survey video increased the dwell time on their website. Embedding videos in your content can too.

Here are a few different strategies to increase the effectiveness of video:

Use an eye-catching video thumbnail so users will click and watch.

Customer testimonial videos and product videos can be a powerful way to push conversions.

Embed video explaining a specific strategy or concept you touch on within your content. Use the video for diving deeper into the strategy.

Share a video from a popular YouTube channel in your content. Then reach out to the producers, as there may be opportunities for social referral traffic.

Insert a video containing information with related content.

Match Search Intent

If you’re looking to rank #1 for a keyword on Google, you need to be the most relevant query. In other words, the content on your page needs to reflect a searcher’s intent, the reason for the search.

The four most common types of search intent are:

Information

A searcher is looking for general information (“How can I interpret my dreams?”)  or an answer to a specific question (“How old is Elon Musk?”)

More examples of information searches:

“When is NBA draft”

“LAX Terminal 4 to 5 directions”

“Howard Schultz”

Brand

The searcher is looking for a specific website or brand. They may forget the URL or find it easier to Google a brand than type out the site’s address.

Examples of brand searches:

“Instagram login”

“Ubersuggest”

“Neil Patel guide to Local SEO”

Inquiry

With an inquiry search, a searcher shows interest in an item or solution but is still researching and comparing their options.

Examples of inquiry searches:

“best spas”

“United versus Delta”

“Ubersuggest reviews”

Transaction

In a transaction search, the searcher is ready to buy. They are either looking for the best price or trying to find a specific item or service.

Examples of transaction searches:

“Chipotles near me”

“buy iPad pro”

“athletic greens coupon”

Now let’s say a spa decides to target “corporate wellness retreats.” Here are the steps they can take to do competitive research on Ubersuggest:

Women in Folk - The Ladles

Hey there!

Katie here, excited to bring you a very thought-provoking conversation with The Ladles!

The Ladles, Katie Martucci, Caroline Kuhn, and Lucia Pontoniere, formed in the Fall of 2014, in the New England Conservatory dorm rooms. Interestingly enough, they formed for a reason similar to what we're discussing: They were the only three women undergraduates that year in the Contemporary Improvisation program at NEC. “Being in such a boy’s club[...]”, they said, “[...]we naturally gravitated towards each other and started hanging out, singing Joni Mitchell, knitting, and playing music together. We decided to perform at a friend's house concert, and the rest is history!” The group has been performing together for about four years now, though individually they’ve all been playing for the better part of their lives, starting to sing and play as young children. When asked who their biggest musical influences were, they responded with Mountain Man, Meredith Monk, and The Boswell Sisters; all artists with rich harmonies that have played a part in helping The Ladles form their own rich and beautiful harmonies. That, paired with their varying musical backgrounds, has shaped their sound into the unique blend they’re known for having. The band is currently working towards the debut of their first full-length album, ‘The Line’, coming out on July 12th! “We are super excited about this, as we've only got an EP recorded and we really want to share these songs”.

They will be doing an album release tour around the northeast beginning on July 11, 2019. To stay up to date on the progress of their album, tour dates, etc., make sure to follow them on Instagram, check them out on Facebook, or visit their website! And be sure to come hear them play at Club Passim on Friday, July 19th, 2019 at 8 pm. You can buy tickets online here.

The next portion of the interview was focused on their experiences as women in the folk community.

[full interview under the cut]

Club Passim: Talk a little about your experiences as a female artist/all-female group in a heavily male-dominated music genre.

The Ladles: Well, to begin with, we felt it right away when we all arrived at New England Conservatory and realized how few women were in our program. It can definitely create a divide, and it's easy to feel judged for how you play and what you play. There's a sense of needing to prove yourself. Styles of music that include more improvisation tend to be more male-dominated. This is because we believe men are allowed to make more 'mistakes' than women in our society. We don't have to look very far to see examples of this. Improvisation is all about making mistakes and being vulnerable; you figure things out as you go and you will make a fool of yourself. But because women don't have that same sort of leeway, they often shy away from that level of exposure.

We're sure many women can relate to the experience of feeling pressure to present as "perfect." As we have continued to grow as musicians and The Ladles has grown as a band, it's been easier to let go of perfection in favor of taking risks and learning new things. In those moments, we certainly make "mistakes" but also feel more creative, authentic and fulfilled.

CP: Do you notice a difference in how you’re treated by other artists, venues, audiences, and industry professionals before vs. after you play?

TL: We definitely have. Condescending comments like, "Wow I'm surprised at how good you are!" We literally have had people say that. But the vast majority of audiences and venues are very supportive and treat us with respect.

CP: Do you feel you are viewed differently on stage by men v. women?

TL: I think this varies more person-to-person, rather than men vs. women. Of course, there is a measure of objectification that is inherent with performance, whether you are female or male. That being said, the presence of the "male gaze" is undeniable (obviously among straight males) when you are a woman being viewed on stage by a man.

CP: Often, all-male bands have a heavy female fanbase that buy merch, go to many shows, support, etc. Do you feel you have the male gender's support of your music in this same way? Why or why not do you think that is?

TL: Our fanbase is pretty equally male and female. The men who enjoy our music respect us as musicians and genuinely enjoy what we have to offer. In our generation, there is generally more awareness among men of respecting women (at least in the lovely bubble that we live in, in the northeast). But honestly we see it throughout the country - even in the deep south where Lucia is living these days - things have changed a lot between our generation and our parents’.

At the same time, one cannot ignore the violence and oppression that women face en masse. The abortion laws being passed in various state legislature around the country are a good indicator of the ways in which women continue to be policed. Women in every profession have to deal with these questions of respect, creative/intellectual worth, body image, and entitlement. Femme musicians just have the added experience of navigating that in public, on stage.

CP: Incredible classical artists such as classical pianist Yuja Wang use their performance attire as a way to express themselves. This provocative style of dress has been viewed as “distracting” from the music. What are your personal thoughts on women using fashion and sex-appeal as a means of bringing in more audience members and assisting in selling their music?

TL: Performers should be able to dress and act however they want! They are creating a performance, and that includes a visual aspect. If a woman is using her sex appeal, go right ahead girl! The bigger issue here is that sex appeal and skill are not mutually exclusive. A woman can be an incredible musician and not fit society's typical (and ridiculous) standards of beauty and be overlooked and ignored. On the other hand, a woman can be an incredible musician, fit some of those ridiculous standards of beauty, and therefore not be taken seriously. There's no "right" way to do this, so just be yourself and wait for everyone else to catch up.

CP: In your opinion, how can men be more aware or informed about women in the music industry?

TL: Men can include women in their projects, they can support their femme friends' shows and projects, and they can examine their own experiences! Really just talk to your female friends and listen to what they say about their experiences.

CP: What do you do in a situation when you feel disrespected by the artists/co-workers you’re surrounded by?

TL: Try to address it, as quickly as possible. It can be super hard, but it's important for both parties. Sometimes people aren't even aware that they're acting in a way that feels disrespectful to you. Learning to trust your gut and to vocalize those feelings is hard work, but really the only way to bring about change in a work environment and step into your power.

CP: What message do you want to display as a woman in folk music?

TL: We think it's important to stop making subsections of musicians - "Women in music" "All female band"  etc. We don't want to be defined as "female musicians", we just want to be musicians! We should be able to transcend that label. It can be creatively limiting to put yourself into a box that labels you a certain way. We are happy to talk about our experiences as women living in a society that still takes issue with women living public lives, in fact, it's absolutely essential dialogue that can be informative for women and men. But why not ask men to examine their experiences as well? How have they benefited from sexism? What has been easier for them because of their gender? What do they not understand about life as a femme creator? What is their experience of working with women? Establishing that expectation, that men should be examining their experience and including women in their work, is necessary for us all to move forward.

CP: What words of wisdom/encouragement do you have for aspiring women in folk?

TL: Build community and be true to yourself and your music! If there's emotion and intention behind music, it's always good music. Who cares if anyone likes it or not? If it feels like a true expression to you, then it has merit. There's a wonderful letter from Martha Graham to Agnes de Mille that captures this idea beautifully:

“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action,
 and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. 
And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. 
The world will not have it. 
It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. 
It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. 
You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. 
You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate YOU. 
Keep the channel open.”

Thank You, Katie, Caroline, and Lucia for your thought-provoking answers. My favorite points you made were how improvisation-based genres are usually male-dominated and the reasoning behind it, and that it is everyone’s job to help establish the expectation that both men and women should reflect on their differentiating experiences with sexism in the workplace, and then talk about it more.

Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for the next installment of the ‘Women in Folk’ blog!

- Katie

11 Proven Ways to Increase Dwell Time

email marketing how to

Are you doing everything you can to rank for a specific keyword? Are you struggling to get on even the first page, much less the top?

Here’s the thing: there’s a good chance you are making a ton of mistakes that sends users back to the SERP.

After developing hundreds of high-ranking pages, I’m here to show you the role dwell time plays in ranking and how you can increase it.

Before I share 11 strategies to increase your dwell time, let’s look at what dwell time is and why it matters.

What is Dwell Time?

Dwell time is the length of time a user spends on your page before returning to SERP. Most SEOs consider dwell time to be a ranking signal, though Google hasn’t confirmed it.

As an example, let’s say you want to establish a better morning routine. So you Google “morning rituals.”

You click on the first result. But the page is hard to navigate, and the content’s not useful.

Within a few seconds, you hit back on your browser and click on the second result.

The second page has excellent content, and the website is easy to scroll through. You end up spending six minutes there and then go back to the SERP.

Now, if other people also spend more time on the second page, Google may factor that in their page rankings and demote the current first result. That will bump the #2 result up to #1.

Although Google hasn’t gone on the record to say dwell time is a ranking factor, the closest thing we’ve got so far is a Google engineer sharing this tidbit:

“So when search was invented… they wrote heuristics that had figure out what the relationship between a search and the best page for that search was. And those heuristics worked pretty well and continue to work pretty well.

But Google is now integrating machine learning into that process. So then training models on when someone clicks on a page and stays on that page, when they go back or when they and trying to figure out exactly on that relationship.”

Here’s another strong indicator that dwell time is at least a mild ranking factor: Google used to let you hide specific websites on the SERP after visiting them.

If you bounce fast from a page, you could block all results from a domain – because Google knew that if people left a page quickly, there was a good chance they didn’t like the content.

Over time, that feature was dropped, likely as Google better understood which sites were most useful.

Dwell Time Versus Time On Page

You may have heard of time on page, which is the amount of time a user is on a page until they go anywhere else.

Time on page is based on two clicks:

1. A user visits your website.

2. The user then clicks on another page on your website.

The big difference between time on page and dwell time is whether or not the visitor went to another page on your website. With time on page, they have to visit a second page on your website for Google Analytics to take the session into account.

If a user only visits one page on your website, Google Analytics shows time on page for the session as zero.

Here are 11 strategies to increase your pages’ dwell time.

Hook Readers In

You have one shot at making a great first impression from the SERP. One web usability study found the first 10 seconds of a page visit are critical for determining if a visitor stays or goes.

Are your blog post introductions reeling in readers? To encourage dwell time, each introduction needs to be interesting and relevant to your target keywords.

Take this example from a recent post about spying on your competitor’s SEO.

The open-ended question is the hook. The follow-up sentence is brief and touches on a universal pain point. It also acts as a transition guiding the reader to the thesis.

This hook isn’t like a traditional university paper thesis, though. It’s a teaser of what readers can expect in your article.  

Divide Into Snackable Sections

Your introduction gets site visitors engaged and excited to continue reading.

Use H2’s to break content into sections, so it’s easy to read. It also makes it easier for folks to go back and reference your content later.

A good example is this article on defining your target audience.

Another way to make your content easier to consume is to turn succinct lists intobullet-pointt format. These make content easier to read and help users find the meat of the content faster.

Another way to engage readers is to use a ton of screenshots and other visuals to illustrate your points.

Create a Multimedia Experience

Infographics aren’t just great for referral traffic. Visuals can also help keep your site visitors engaged.

For example, check out this content layering infographic. It makes a complex topic easier to digest and understand.

Image source

Here are a few tools you can use to create visuals for your content quickly:

Canva

Venngage

Piktochart

Visme

Video can also encourage visitors to stick around. 80% of marketers said in a Wyzowl survey video increased the dwell time on their website. Embedding videos in your content can too.

Here are a few different strategies to increase the effectiveness of video:

Use an eye-catching video thumbnail so users will click and watch.

Customer testimonial videos and product videos can be a powerful way to push conversions.

Embed video explaining a specific strategy or concept you touch on within your content. Use the video for diving deeper into the strategy.

Share a video from a popular YouTube channel in your content. Then reach out to the producers, as there may be opportunities for social referral traffic.

Insert a video containing information with related content.

Match Search Intent

If you’re looking to rank #1 for a keyword on Google, you need to be the most relevant query. In other words, the content on your page needs to reflect a searcher’s intent, the reason for the search.

Let’s say you’re trying to rank for “best spa” in NYC.

Google knows the most relevant results from millions of searchers who have either bounced or stuck around pages. In this case, spa options based on a searcher’s location and the best spas worldwide are the top results.  

A landing page spotlighting a specific spa won’t work. However, charts showing different destination spa’s amenities and price comparison tools may be effective.  

The four most common types of search intent are:

Information

A searcher is looking for general information (“How can I interpret my dreams?”)  or an answer to a specific question (“How old is Elon Musk?”)

More examples of information searches:

“When is NBA draft”

“LAX Terminal 4 to 5 directions”

“Howard Schultz”

Brand

The searcher is looking for a specific website or brand. They may forget the URL or find it easier to Google a brand than type out the site’s address.

Examples of brand searches:

“Instagram login”

“Ubersuggest”

“Neil Patel guide to Local SEO”

Inquiry

With an inquiry search, a searcher shows interest in an item or solution but is still researching and comparing their options.

Examples of inquiry searches:

“best spas”

“United versus Delta”

“Ubersuggest reviews”

Transaction

In a transaction search, the searcher is ready to buy. They are either looking for the best price or trying to find a specific item or service.

Examples of transaction searches:

“Chipotles near me”

“buy iPad pro”

“athletic greens coupon”

Now let’s say a spa decides to target “corporate wellness retreats.” Here are the steps they can take to do competitive research on Ubersuggest:

First, review search volume and keyword difficulty under “Keyword Ideas.”

Next, analyze the top SERP results for that keyword.

Are the top results product pages, blog posts, or another format? For a search of “corporate wellness retreat,” we can see most of the top 10 results are landing pages.

As you review each page, take notes on the page’s content to see how you can improve.

You can also review on-page optimizations, such as the use of keywords in headlines and subheadings and any other factors encouraging dwell time.

Then review the top results off-page SEO strategy. Copy the URL of any result into Ubersuggest and select overview to see more about the domain, including:

The number of backlinks pointing to their domain

Domain score; the higher the number, the more authoritative a site is, and the higher it will rank in Google

The number of unique domains linking back to their domain

Craft In-depth Content

In most cases, longer content gets more traffic. Since it takes more time to read, more robust content boosts dwell time.

Help encourage visitors to stick around by providing the go-to resource for a specific query using the Skyscraper technique (a term initially coined by Brian Dean of Backlinko). 

All skyscraper content has one or more of the following elements:

Useful: Does it provide step-by-step instructions where possible? Are you providing your reader with clear takeaways?

Entertaining: Does your content draw in your reader either through a compelling narrative, hook, or funny bits?

User Experience: Is your content easy to navigate and skim? Does content logically flow? Is the content accessible in tone and style? In particular, it doesn’t read like a post-graduate paper or use larger words than needed.

Each of the eight steps in this article on monetizing your blog shows you don’t need a massive amount of traffic to start making money. Readers can also see a ton of examples where they can draw inspiration.

By creating thorough content it ranks #1 for highly competitive keywords and readers spend an average of over 4 minutes on the page.

Enable Comments

Open up your blog to questions and discussion in the comments. Just like here, where I try to reply to all comments.

People want to read others’ comments. Other readers likely have the same questions and can contain additional valuable responses from the author.

As people read or add in their own comments, their dwell time goes up.

Plus, you can get a ton of great feedback with your site visitors, like the comment below.

Create Interactive Elements

Interactive content not only keeps users on your page longer, it can also improve the user experience.

Quizzes, polls, downloadable assessments, and calculators are all features that can help site visitors work through the specific issue they came to your site to solve.

Establish Next Steps

If someone wants to learn more about a specific topic you’ve covered, make it easy to access with an internal link.

Internal links not only help keep users on your site, but are another key feature for on-page optimization.

Your internal links can also guide users to take the next step along your inbound funnel.

As you may know, a pillar page is a central piece on a website covering a topic in-depth.  

Let’s say you’re looking to target a keyword with significant volume like “camper living.”

Once you create a pillar page targeting the keyword, you may develop a blog post reviewing an RV essential like a mobile hotspot. Then link to this piece on your pillar page.

Increase Your Site Speed

Part of making a great first impression — and preventing people from hitting the back button on your site — is ensuring your pages load fast.

47% of consumers expect a page to load in two seconds or less.

A few tools to help speed up your site:

Page Speed Insights

Pingdom Website Speed Test

WebPageTest

GTmetrix

Mobile First

More than half of worldwide traffic comes from mobile devices, which means you need to provide a mobile-first experience on your website.

What does that mean? Your site needs to perform well on mobile devices, not just desktop.

Here’s how you can double-check your pages are optimized for mobile:

Visit Google Search Console.

Click “Mobile Usability.”

If any errors show in Search Console, click the error for details on how to fix the issue on your site.

Google’s support documentation that is linked in the results also provides more info on specific errors.

Level Up the Copy

You can have the best content but still fail to resonate with your readers.

Are all the sentences in your content the same length? Do paragraphs begin the same way? It will get boring.

Copywriting techniques are the ace up your sleeve. Here are a few strategies to keep your writing engaging you can take from copy masters:

Make it simple. Make it memorable. Make it inviting to look at. Make it fun to read. 

-Leo Burnett

Can you say the same thing in fewer words? Are their compelling stories or statistics you can use to draw in a reader?

Copy is a direct conversation with the consumer.

– Shirley Polykoff

Keep the conversation going by mirroring your customers. Not sure what your audience is thinking? Survey your current and existing customers.

Have sections where readers may get overwhelmed or bored? Use Bucket Brigades, a term penned by Brian Dean. These phrases that help bridge two sentences and lead readers through content.

These phrases are instant attention grabbers and keep readers from bouncing:

Pro-tip:

Here’s the deal:

Now:

What’s the bottom line?

You might be wondering:

This is crazy:

It gets better/worse:

But here’s the kicker:

Want to know the best part?

Conclusion

All of these techniques can help increase dwell time. But let your rankings and analytics reveal the most effective elements for your content. Start at the top of the list and try each strategy. For example, you might find that your users respond to interactive elements or that they prefer lists.

Once you see what works, you can fine-tune your strategy.

Which strategy will you try first?

11 Proven Ways to Increase Dwell Time

Are you doing everything you can to rank for a specific keyword? Are you struggling to get on even the first page, much less the top?

Here’s the thing: there’s a good chance you are making a ton of mistakes that sends users back to the SERP.

After developing hundreds of high-ranking pages, I’m here to show you the role dwell time plays in ranking and how you can increase it.

Before I share 11 strategies to increase your dwell time, let’s look at what dwell time is and why it matters.

What is Dwell Time?

Dwell time is the length of time a user spends on your page before returning to SERP. Most SEOs consider dwell time to be a ranking signal, though Google hasn’t confirmed it.

As an example, let’s say you want to establish a better morning routine. So you Google “morning rituals.”

You click on the first result. But the page is hard to navigate, and the content’s not useful.

Within a few seconds, you hit back on your browser and click on the second result.

The second page has excellent content, and the website is easy to scroll through. You end up spending six minutes there and then go back to the SERP.

Now, if other people also spend more time on the second page, Google may factor that in their page rankings and demote the current first result. That will bump the #2 result up to #1.

Although Google hasn’t gone on the record to say dwell time is a ranking factor, the closest thing we’ve got so far is a Google engineer sharing this tidbit:

“So when search was invented… they wrote heuristics that had figure out what the relationship between a search and the best page for that search was. And those heuristics worked pretty well and continue to work pretty well.

But Google is now integrating machine learning into that process. So then training models on when someone clicks on a page and stays on that page, when they go back or when they and trying to figure out exactly on that relationship.”

Here’s another strong indicator that dwell time is at least a mild ranking factor: Google used to let you hide specific websites on the SERP after visiting them.

If you bounce fast from a page, you could block all results from a domain – because Google knew that if people left a page quickly, there was a good chance they didn’t like the content.

Over time, that feature was dropped, likely as Google better understood which sites were most useful.

Use H2’s to break content into sections, so it’s easy to read. It also makes it easier for folks to go back and reference your content later.

A good example is this article on defining your target audience.

Another way to make your content easier to consume is to turn succinct lists intobullet-pointt format. These make content easier to read and help users find the meat of the content faster.

Another way to engage readers is to use a ton of screenshots and other visuals to illustrate your points.

Create a Multimedia Experience

Infographics aren’t just great for referral traffic. Visuals can also help keep your site visitors engaged.

For example, check out this content layering infographic. It makes a complex topic easier to digest and understand.

Image source

Here are a few tools you can use to create visuals for your content quickly:

Canva

Venngage

Piktochart

Visme

Video can also encourage visitors to stick around. 80% of marketers said in a Wyzowl survey video increased the dwell time on their website. Embedding videos in your content can too.

Here are a few different strategies to increase the effectiveness of video:

Use an eye-catching video thumbnail so users will click and watch.

The searcher is looking for a specific website or brand. They may forget the URL or find it easier to Google a brand than type out the site’s address.

Examples of brand searches:

How Mapping Your Customer Journey Can Improve the Customer Experience

How Mapping Your Customer Journey Can Improve the Customer Experience written by John Jantsch read more at Duct Tape Marketing

When you’re driving to an unfamiliar location, you pull up directions on Google Maps. When you’re hiking a new path in your favorite state park, you stop at the trailhead to check the posted map. You never go into a physical journey without taking stock of where you’re headed. So why wouldn’t you do the same for the customer journey?

Understanding where your customers go when they’re interacting with your business can help transform your marketing efforts. Here, I’ll walk you through the steps of customer journey mapping—everything from what it is to why it matters so much.

What is Mapping the Customer Journey?

Let’s start with the basics. Mapping the customer journey requires you to create a visual representation of every interaction a customer has with your business that leads them to a certain conversion. This might be the path they carve from discovery of your brand, at the very top of the marketing hourglass, to signing up for your email newsletter. Or perhaps it’s a look at the steps they take between clicking on your social ad for a given product and purchasing the item.

In order to create a map, you should conduct interviews with real customers. Ask them how they discovered your brand. Find out about their experience interacting with your website. Take stock of where else they found you on the web (social media or local listings sites, perhaps?). And collect feedback on their ease of making a purchase and getting support from your team, if they needed it.

You should also take the time to do your own research. Pretend you’re a customer searching for a solution that you offer, and go onto the web. Google yourself or a related search term, and walk through the process of navigating your website. Check out your social profiles, and see where they lead you. Sometimes you’ll discover something new and interesting about your own online presence when you experience it through the lens of a customer’s journey.

By creating customer journey maps for the steps that lead to those important conversion moments along the broader journey, you can gain a deeper understanding of the people who love your brand. When you can wrap your head around how your customers behave and why they do it, you can refine your marketing tactics and messaging to best complement those behaviors.

Understand the Complexities of the Journey

Today’s customer journeys are incredibly complex. In the olden days, someone would read a print ad, catch your commercial on the television or radio, or maybe simply see the sign out in front of your store and stop on by. Now, with dozens of digital channels to consider, it’s hard to know exactly when and where someone encountered your brand.

And even if you’re aware of some of their interactions with your business—because they happened online and you’re able to track them—it’s hard to know which point of contact is the one that ultimately pushed them towards the conversion.

Mapping the customer journey helps you to understand all that. Perhaps in customer interviews, you keep hearing about a blog post from a local influencer that mentions your business and drives a lot of traffic your way. That’s valuable information! Consider reaching out to that blogger to see if they’d like to become a part of your strategic partner network.

Or maybe you take your own website out for a spin. You have an online booking portal for folks who want to make appointments, but you discover that for first-time users, there’s a lengthy registration process. It requires lots of clicks and form-filling, and can be a source of frustration. Now that you’ve experienced that hurdle first-hand, you understand your booking system could be driving customers away, and you can take steps to change it!

Learn What Matters to Your Customers

What you think matters to your customers and what actually matters to your customers are sometimes two different things. Sure, there’s something to be said for generic best practices; they can be a great starting-point for any brand looking to establish a solid web presence.

But what’s right for a competitor or someone in another industry isn’t always right for you. Perhaps you’ve heard that Yelp is the best local listings site for your industry. So you spent countless hours building out your Yelp profile and driving all of your customers to review you there. But then, you discover that most of your customers are searching for solutions on Google Maps. That means they’re coming across your much sparser Google My Business profile.

As you discover more about the customer journey from your conversations with actual customers and your own experience navigating test journeys, you’ll want to make tweaks to your approach. Maybe that’s changing wording on your social media’s homepage that makes it easier for customers to understand what you do. Maybe it’s rearranging your website’s navigation bar to remove some of the steps it currently takes for prospects to request a demo.

Whatever modification to the journey you want to try, it’s a good idea to implement A/B testing in your process. Display the new element to half of your audience, and keep things the same for the other half. Then measure conversions for each group. If things improve with your adjustment, you know you’re on the right track. If things remain the same (or conversions decrease), it’s best to test another new approach.

Find New Customer Segments (or Redefine Existing Ones)

The way in which you market your business and the shape of the customer journey are inextricably linked. By that I mean, you need to market your business in a way that suits the typical trajectory for the customer journey. But the way that you market your business can also have an influence on the shape of the journey.

Sometimes, your marketing efforts might have you missing out on specific segments of the population who could be interested in your product. Or, there might be a way for you to optimize your current marketing to get your existing customers to return or make larger purchases.

Let’s say you run a yoga studio. You already have some clearly defined personas for your business: young professionals focused on wellness, people looking to reduce stress and anxiety, and pregnant women and new moms.

Perhaps in speaking with those moms in your postpartum segment, you realize that what they appreciate about your studio isn’t the ability to move a little. And it’s not about getting out of the house and away from the newborn for an hour or two on Wednesday mornings. What they love is the community of other new moms, with whom they can share their struggles and successes.

Once you understand that the problem you’re solving for these moms is really about community, not fitness, you can refine your marketing approach. Create a Facebook group that’s a place for yoga moms to come together. They can share tips, commiserate about the horrors of sleep-regression, and even organize playdates for their little ones! Suddenly, you’ve become the architect of this impactful community. New moms who otherwise might not have tried yoga—but who love your Facebook group—might feel compelled to stop in for a class.

By better understanding your existing customers, you can create additional stops along the customer journey to address their needs and attract similar prospects.

Meet Customers Where They Are

Rather than directing your outbound marketing efforts to anyone under the sun, when you understand the customer journey you can develop stronger inbound tactics in the places where your fans are already congregating.

Let’s say you run a catering company. You’ve been advertising heavily on Instagram. Because it’s a visually-based social network, it’s a great place for you to show off your beautifully-plated food.

However, your typical client is more established—it’s not cheap to throw a lavish, catered soiree, after all! For the most part, they’re in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. Statistically, Instagram is not the place to go to interact with people above the age of 30. Less than 40 precent of those in their 30s are on the platform; only 16 percent of the 50-and-over set are on Instagram.

So stop wasting money on Instagram ads. Instead, invest in inbound tactics elsewhere where you’re more likely to bump into your actual customers. Get on Facebook, the social network of choice for most people 40 and older. Work on building out your referral network and case studies, since word-of-mouth matters a lot in the local catering business.

When you’re able to find your prospects and greet them on their turf, you build trust and reduce ad spend. You can certainly still advertise! In fact, when it’s focused on those spaces where your clientele actually gather online, you get a much greater ROI.

The customer journey is only going to get more complex. Digital marketing continues to grow, and new channels for reaching customers develop. When you understand where your customers are and where they want to go, you can create a smoother customer journey—one that guides them right to your desired conversion.
