B2B vs B2C SEO Campaign

by Shimon Sandler on February 12, 2008

It doesn’t matter whether you are in the B2B business or B2C business, the basics of SEO will remain the same. Such as: Internal Linking, Inbound links, SEO Copywriting, and other technical aspects of a Search Engine friendly website.

However, as you could imagine, the Keyword Search Volume will be much greater for a B2C SEO Campaign. For example: the searches for Application Hosting (2,010 Searches/month) are much less than Ringtones (290,850 Searches/month).

Even though the Search Volume is much lower for a B2B Campaign, the Sales Revenue can potentially be much larger for an equal amount of conversions. Eg: $1/ringtone vs. a yearly Application Hosting contract.

Certainly other metrics should be taken into consideration such as Mindshare (development of consumer awareness), Share of Voice, appearance as industry leader by being #1 in Organic Results, etc.

The Success Metrics to measure a successful SEO campaign are the same.

As usual, the beginning to any SEO Campaign, you (or your SEO Consultant) should build a careful & thorough Keyword Analysis & Keyword Demand Matrix.

Some B2B companies have started a B2B blog. Although, from this one example I can see it needs a lot of SEO tender-loving-care.
