UX is more than just a buzzword. It’s a core strategy content marketers and SMMs alike are embracing to encourage higher content marketing conversion rates. And the reasons for that are threefold. With a key focus on the user, UX content helps brands provide tremendous value, nurture their ideal audiences, and position themselves as leading experts.
From the design to the content theme to the imagery, UX content is personalized marketing at its finest. Having Narrato’s AI writer by your side now, crafting this content will become a breeze.
Let’s take a closer look at how UX content can help increase conversion rates and strengthen your content marketing strategy in 2023.
TL;DR here’s a quick summary
Here are some key aspects of UX content that we will discuss in this article:
- Engages and aligns with your target audience early on
- Helps your website and social profiles get found organically
- Helps you implement personalized marketing
- Provides ample value to your target audience
Engages and aligns with your target audience early on
UX content helps your brand stay in alignment with its target audience.
When they move, you move. When they shift preferences, you shift preferences. When their demands change, your solutions follow suit.
With an eye on the user experience, you can ensure your content aligns with your target audience early on — and stays that way.
The trick? Stay grounded in VoC (voice of the customer) insights.
In other words, understand your target audience’s changing needs, wants, perceptions, preferences, and expectations and reflect those insights in your content, CTAs, and offers.
Use a customer data platform (CDP) or customer relationship management (CRM) tool to pull data and track your audience’s behavior.
To simplify the analysis and tracking process, create a living doc that lists:
- Your ideal customer’s pain points
- Tailored solutions to their problems
- Relevant use cases (practical ways your audience can use your offers to benefit their lives and solve their pain points)
Since this will be a “living” doc, be sure to update it as your VoC insights change over time.
You can also gather VoC insights by hosting customer interviews, surveying your audience, and reviewing your recent support tickets.
Helps your website and social profiles get found organically
UX content helps your brand deliver on search intent, which can help your site get discovered organically.
Creating content based on search intent helps you support your target audience in a big way.
From helping them understand viral topics, like what a text to speech platform does, to teaching them how to use a specific General Ledger software, UX content built for search helps your audience get answers to their most burning questions.
If you’re not a pro at content SEO research, consider locking arms with an SEO strategist or agency for support. They can help you pull relevant topics, secondary keywords, and frequently asked questions searchers in your target market are asking.
They can also help you make sure your content isn’t missing low-hanging SEO fruits, such as internal and external links, metadata, alt text, proper formatting, hashtags, and tailored engagement elements.
And speaking of tailored elements …
Helps you implement personalized marketing
UX content reminds you to tailor everything to your audience.
Personalization enhances UX by putting the spotlight on the customer.
Everything from your messaging to your visuals to your offers – even the choice of payment system to include among those available – should be chosen, created and adjusted with your audience in mind. Yes, even details like colors, vector graphics, and brand elements.
Use tools to help you streamline the content personalization process.
