Content Marketing For Construction: Writing With Technical Experts

Written by Abby Buchan-Howard | 23-Aug-2018 15:37:11

Successful content marketing for construction requires high-quality technical articles with a steady frequency of publishing output.

Most businesses without a dedicated content marketing resources find this a real challenge and for digital marketers who are producing content; inputting technical knowledge into their content is not always easy.

Discover how to build collaborative teams to pump out high-quality content on a regular basis, improving your rankings and performance along the way.

What Is Content Marketing For Construction?

 

Content marketing is a marketing strategy that is dedicated to the production of high quality, focused content that gives value to your customers. 

It is intended to not only attract customers but to also retain them on a long-term basis as an audience clearly defined by who you want to sell to.

Content marketing has already been adopted by a number of multi-national companies, including IBM, GoPro and American Express.  

Bringing this method of marketing to your construction company could be hugely beneficial. It is a huge driver of sales, increase customer loyalty and establish you and your brand as authority figures in your field.

The Content Marketing Pain

The role of a marketer is traditionally to be the voice of the customer and a support for the sales team. Building products companies often do their marketing in the traditional manner; trade shows, mail blasts or working with a purchase lists.

Introducing content marketing into this mix, turning an outbound approach into an inbound approach, can seem like a challenge. Suddenly technical experts are expected to write long pieces of content for digital purposes, such as blog posts or web content.

Often, but not always, the technical team aren’t trained in writing for SEO. They might not have the time to produce that kind of content or even like writing at all.

Uniting your technically minded team with digital content marketing experts will solve this problem and boost your building products company into a newer, modern era of marketing.   

 

Combine Technical Knowledge With Writing Talent

For some building products companies, the production of the content can be the issue, rather than the technical knowledge they wish to share instead.

So, how can you overcome this issue of skilled writers with little technical knowledge and technical experts who don’t have the time to spare to produce content?

Simple; your content team and your technical experts work together to ensure that there is a unity between the technical nature and the writing quality in all your content.

Readers will benefit more from having a highly technical, well-written piece of content that has taken several days of collaboration to produce rather than a poorly written or technically inaccurate piece that was written quickly without a solid amount of input from both teams.

You don’t just have to consult with the technical experts when writing digital content. You can even talk to the sales team!

Sales are the department who have the most to do with the customer; they deal with them every day and they know exactly what the customers want at any given time.

Bringing their knowledge of the customer needs and the knowledge of your technical experts to your content writing will hugely benefit your building products company. You will soon see a shift in your sales levels of customer loyalty!
