The Role of Digital Marketing in Credit Union Growth: SEO, PPC, and Social Media

 

Digital marketing has emerged as one of the key strategies to support credit unions in the development of sustainable growth. Three techniques are particularly important as credit unions seek to attract a larger audience for their services. One of the best strategies is to work with a credit union marketing agency to ensure one’s digital marketing is effective, on brand, can generate leads, increase sales, and facilitate customer engagement.



 SEO Strategies

 Anyone working in the marketing field is familiar with SEO which translates into ‘Search Engine Optimization’. This strategy emerged approximately thirty years ago in the 90’s. The importance of SEO is what it achieves when it’s used in online articles, website content, and social media messaging. It is probably the most successful strategy, which allows businesses to show up on local search results and get in front of their target audience. One of its primary techniques is keyword phrases targeted to specific audiences.

 As a marketing strategy, it enables digital content to be found and hopefully selected by people seeking information on specific topics. This can increase traffic to a company’s website. However, SEO has evolved significantly since its inception. Today, someone writing SEO-optimized content must be knowledgeable in the evolution of search engine algorithms to use this strategy. Understanding how search engines work takes time, effort, and continual education with experts in the field.


 Pay Per Click – PPC

PPC advertising enables companies to publish ads aimed at their intended audiences. Visitors click on the ads and each time they do, advertisers pay a fee. It’s an excellent way to encourage visitors to websites. Advertisers only pay if someone clicks on their ads. That is why it’s called ‘pay per click.”

 One of the advantages of PPC is its simplicity. The advertisers and visitors do most of the work. It tends to be affordable and can generate fast results. Its disadvantages are that it is dependent on website visitors and when the ad campaign is over, so are the results that come from it.

 

 Social Media

 Companies today cannot afford to ignore social media. While many would rather not spend any time there, yet it’s impossible to deny its impact on global commerce. Social media campaigns empower companies to stand out from their competition.

 Social media is a complex entity comprising multiple platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Instagram, and YouTube. Some people spend several hours a day on various channels watching videos, shopping, interacting with friends, family, and colleagues, job hunting, and networking for business and pleasure. Social media is an integral aspect of modern life.

 A high percentage of businesses use social media daily.  A company’s presence there increases its visibility and sets the tone for interactions with potential customers and partners. Social media increases brand awareness. The right messages can resonate with literally thousands of people and boost a company’s popularity.
