Building or maintaining a website that delivers tangible business results is done with intention, and requires a strategic process. Defining a target audience is one of the most important, and helpful, steps in that process.
At Daybreak Digital Marketing, we spend a lot of time helping our newest clients objectively define the characteristics of their target audience. To do this well, we spend a lot of time examining the common characteristics of client's best customers, conducting market research, examining digital marketing analytics, and even building "persona" archetypes with tools like these. In many cases, the end result of this work provides benefits beyond digital content development - clients often take away insights that better inform their day-to-day sales and service efforts.
The benefit of defining a target audience is simple. Amplifying the right message, to the right audience, delivers the best results.
The simple benefit of defining a target audience becomes much more complex when search engine optimization (SEO) considerations enter the equation. Building a website that's designed for maximum Google search performance requires agencies like ours to consider dozens (more realistically hundreds) of factors that impact on-page SEO, off-page SEO, and technical SEO.
Balancing the need for targeted online content with SEO concerns isn't easy, and can often feel like a nearly impossible task. The perceived impossible task becomes this: to convey two tailored messages to two different audiences (your target audience & Google).
If you've found yourself frustrated to strike this balance, you may be encouraged by the Google search guidance provided by none other than Google themselves. Below you'll find links and summaries for a few of these great resources.
The goal of Google's search business is surprisingly simple: they want to offer the best results for online searches. It's no secret that artificial intelligence and machine learning play a crucial role in Google search. What you may not know is that Google is engineering their search engine to prioritize search results that deliver helpful content. There's a few conclusions to draw from this:
For our benefit, Google has published an extensive guide on "helpful content."
