Using Recruitment Analytics to supercharge your content marketing

How Analytics Can Help You Identify Opportunities for Growth

If you’re like most marketers, you probably spend more time thinking about how to get people to buy your product than you do about making sure customers actually want what you sell. But if you’ve ever tried marketing content, you know that it takes a lot of work to create something that helps prospects solve their problems. And while you might get some initial traction with your content, chances are good that it won’t stick around long enough to make any real difference.

The problem isn’t just that you don’t have enough ideas; it’s that many of them aren’t worth sharing. That means you need to find ways to identify which ones generate the kind of engagement that matters—and that means using analytics to measure audience behaviour. If you’ve never looked at your data before, these tips should help get you started.

What Analytics Tell Us About Our Audience

Analytics can show us lots of things about our audiences. Here are three examples:

• In-depth demographics: Analytic tools give us detailed information about who is reading our content, including age, gender, location, income level, and even interests. By understanding what kinds of people we reach and where they live, we can tailor our messaging to speak directly to them.
• Keywords: Analytics let us target our messages based on keywords. We can find out which words people use to search for information online, and then use those same terms to promote our own products and services.
• Behavioural trends: Analytics can tell us whether people are clicking on links, downloading files, completing forms, or filling out surveys. These insights allow us to understand what actions drive interest and sales.

Why Content Should Be Measured Before Publishing

As soon as you put anything out there, you start losing control over how it performs. But if you don’t measure what happens after you publish, you’ll never learn how well your efforts are working.

Websites, blogs, videos, ebooks, social posts, ads, and pretty much everything else on the web are measured and tracked by analytics solutions. When visitors interact with your site, the tracking software captures details like page views, clicks, and conversions (like purchases).

By measuring your content performance, you can optimise your campaigns to ensure that each piece of content gets the results you expect.

The Importance of Real-Time Measurement

Real-time measurement lets you test new ideas without waiting weeks or months to see the results. You can adjust your message immediately to respond to changing conditions.

Data-driven content marketing

Data-driven content marketing is a collection of strategies and tactics focused on utilising data analytics to create valuable content. As consumer expectations become increasingly higher, brands have to meet these demands with innovative ideas. These ideas should not only be interesting, but they should also add value to their audience.
