SEO and notoriety: How to build relationships with bloggers?
To make your business known on
the Internet, there is a user-friendly and sincere method: establishing
partnerships with bloggers. This allows to increase your visibility, but also
to act effectively on your SEO. Indeed, an article on an influential blog is
usually spread very quickly on social networks and clicks are numerous.
However, before entering this
virtuous circle that will allow you to increase your visibility, it is
necessary to capture the attention of bloggers in your sector. It should be
known that these people are solicited all day by many brands. If you want to
stand out and have a chance to be quoted in an article on their blog, it is
necessary to opt for an original campaign , but also, sometimes, to take your
trouble in patience ...
Spot the influencers in your sector
The first step in establishing a
relationship with bloggers is to find those who may have an interest in your
brand because they drain a qualified audience. You must build a file of
targeted bloggers, so that your campaign sticks to their editorial line.
Most bloggers are on Twitter. You
can use the advanced search of the social network to find accounts with many
subscribers, who talk about your theme. You also have the Follower wonk online
tool to find qualified users.
Finally, there are blog directories,
including Ebuzzing , which will give you a whole list of blogs classified by
topics.
On the other hand, if it is
important to select blogs with a wide visibility to be certain to increase its
notoriety, one should not leave aside the smaller blogs. Large blogs with
thousands of followers and readers are more in demand and it will be harder to
capture their attention. It is therefore relevant to add to your list some
bloggers still emerging, to put all the chances on your side.
Targeting the contact
A partnership with a blogger
differs from the usual press relations. A blogger is not a journalist and often
his blog is based on a passion. It is on this aspect that you must bet when
making contact with your targets.
When you build your file for a future
partnership, consider really gathering the information that supports your
choice. Because often, to attract the attention of the blogger, you will not
have to settle for an email copied / pasted and addressed to everyone. You need
to explain what you like in his blog and how you find it fits the image of your
business.
Show that you have read the
articles and that you are contacting them because the spirit of his blog really
corresponds to your values. Do not hesitate to subscribe to his accounts on
social networks and share his content. This is how you will get his attention,
but also proves your statement about your interest in his writings.
Targeting also passes through the
geographical position. If you intend to invite bloggers to one of your events,
it's best if they can go there. Inviting a person who lives in Marseille to one
of your Paris events shows that you have not really read his blog.
