Whitepapers. Solution Briefs. E-books. Videos. You name it, they\u2019ve created it. And now they want it promoted &#8211; ALL OF IT &#8211; and want to know how marketing is going to help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">On the other hand, the demand generation team has some pretty aggressive lead goals and time is running short, as always, to meet that goal before the quarter is out. And your audience of senior level decision makers and stakeholders is a tough nut to crack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">So what do you do? It might be time to consider a content syndication campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0 c4\">\n<h2 id=\"h.in5edqa8oyqw\" class=\"c7\"><span class=\"c3\">What Is Content Syndication<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"c0\">There are two definitions of content syndication, and in this blog we\u2019ll touch on both. The first, and more common way, is to use a third party vendor to place your content in front of the right audience, using that content to engage your target market and generate leads. The second, and less common way (at least for demand gen purposes) is to republish the same piece of content &#8212; an article, a video, an infographic, etc. &#8212; on one or more different websites.<\/p>\n<p>According to a survey of B2B content marketers, <span class=\"c5\"><a class=\"c2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.markletic.com\/blog\/what-is-b2b-content-syndication-and-why-is-it-important\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1650664277327853&amp;usg=AOvVaw1xSudQgL8vU-9pztVGFI2u\">distribution of content<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c1\">\u00a0is still a top priority in addition to improving the quality of conversions:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0 c4\">\n<p class=\"c0\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/L6ePVMeFX0RJ8iIjP0VAX3GFT9R-0DV68W9BD2hDDdqWky3vzv0Z9pB2xMCftf_YIAubjMC30UOPGtRQeNr4KZ7ArHLBEnceYqZOjnf4wwCpiebULX-OU-z23zfXS6dQOsNbg9GL\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0 c4\">\n<p class=\"c0\">In addition,\u00a0<span class=\"c5\"><a class=\"c2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.markletic.com\/blog\/what-is-b2b-content-syndication-and-why-is-it-important\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1650664277328858&amp;usg=AOvVaw2o7pkCaJuxzULLCgWHl7qm\">67% of marketers<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c1\">\u00a0believe content syndication is a top channel for reaching target audiences:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0 c4\">\n<p class=\"c0\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/eGxjLN9h4KYGsSLBJyX2uONJAso0s5HGSrSI6gwACpDXQHqpfvv76_cFV22b-qoEmZNVx15F0gNhwO84mWKRKsfLZkR7YvdE7nvcC4C32kjiSTgaafNZmRJrf91QJ6tkfqiWiVrz\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0 c4\">\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">Content syndication rates higher for reaching technical audiences (86%), sales and marketing *86%) and finance (67%).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0 c4\">\n<h2 id=\"h.l26cxqaof9wy\" class=\"c7\"><span class=\"c3\">Content Syndication Benefits<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">There is no better way to solve the two problems outlined above than a content syndication campaign. The benefits of content syndication are many. Initially, it solves the issue of how to promote all that content as you can, and should, have multiple pieces of content in the market at one time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0 c4\">\n<h3 id=\"h.5inj2yb8odzh\" class=\"c8\"><span class=\"c6\">Helps With Goal Setting<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"c0\">Your demand gen team will be happy as it guarantees you a certain amount of lead volume each month\/quarter\/year at a set cost per lead (no fluctuations like with Google ads or Paid Social) based on the amount of targeting filters you include. \u00a0You can\u00a0flight<span class=\"c1\">\u00a0your campaigns as well to deliver more during peak seasons and less during slower times of the year like the summer or holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0 c4\">\n<h3 id=\"h.ewl8ynvxo1t\" class=\"c8\"><span class=\"c6\">More Targeted Content<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">Content syndication campaigns allow you to target the right people at the right companies (hopefully via your TAL) that have the right job titles or are the right company size. You can also target by demographics or install base. An added feature is the ability to ask pre-qualifying questions, like time to buy or budget range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">Note that the more filters you add to your campaign, the higher the CPL will be. The lead volume is likely to be lower, but it will be higher quality thanks to the fact that you have pre-qualified them before you send them to Sales. Syndication perks up your sales team by driving constant, quality volume to your automation platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0 c4\">\n<h3 id=\"h.gil2tb98tjg\" class=\"c8\"><span class=\"c6\">Predictable Engagement Rates<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"c0\">Syndication campaigns are usually run via\u00a0<span class=\"c5\"><a class=\"c2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/manufacturing.endeavorb2b.com\/lead-generation\/content-syndication\/%23snaps&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1650664277330640&amp;usg=AOvVaw2cDpYdIbxz-3QX6c88rBHD\">email blasts<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c1\">. Your audience has specifically opted in to these emails so the intent is there. And once they\u2019ve filled out that form and downloaded your content, that should give Sales the green light to follow up with these leads as quickly as they can. Leads can usually be sent right to your marketing automation platform, so there is no delay in getting them into your pipeline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0 c4\">\n<h2 id=\"h.16zz5plr2pc3\" class=\"c7\"><span class=\"c3\">Syndication Vendors for SaaS<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">Let\u2019s have a look at some of the vendors for you to consider for B2B content syndication campaigns. Like with other demand gen channels there are many. Some are better for volume campaigns, others better for more targeted campaigns. Your best strategy is to test as many as your budget (and lead goals) allow, so you can identify which vendors drive more qualified leads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0 c4\">\n<h3 id=\"h.5fbx91uogmwd\" class=\"c8\"><span class=\"c6\">DemandWorks<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c5\"><a class=\"c2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/www.dwmedia.com&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1650664277331431&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PsQuU53G_U0ADDz9m5_Rl\">DemandWorks<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c1\">\u00a0claims a database of over 18M active business professionals in Marketing, IT, HR and Finance.

Duplicate content across the Web does have a negative impact on your site and search results, and could reduce your rankings or even result in removal from the Google index if you aren\u2019t careful and take the proper steps to make sure that doesn\u2019t happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">The easiest way to solve this issue is to add a canonical tag to ensure that the third-party website declares that the content on your website is the original source.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">The canonical looks like this:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0 c4\">\n<p class=\"c0\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/pcl6XJkzRDtIJQaHbe5d7HgrVtk2R-1Ui-zBUYmlcGSCdMqI1cHSjTLmr8Q9rbs4cQbFZFTgJQMg03Zt1TJrszGlAS8ot8RXVyRGrbycapWX7EmJ9Pp0qqhVxg_rc6Mpo1k9mCoG\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0 c4\">\n<h2 id=\"h.e1o5y0quet7u\" class=\"c7\">Pro Tip: Using\u00a0<span class=\"c3\">Medium for Content Syndication<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">One newer way to syndicate your content is through platforms such as Medium. If you aren\u2019t aware of Medium, it\u2019s a free content publishing service that allows anyone to post blogs to a wider audience. While this isn\u2019t the same as syndicating an E-Book or whitepaper like we discuss above, you can promote these pieces through services like Medium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">Here\u2019s how it could work. Let\u2019s say you have a whitepaper and want to test out promoting it through a platform such as Medium. Write a blog post about the content, and in addition to putting it on your company blog, repurpose it on Medium along with a call to action for someone to download the full whitepaper. Then drive that person to a landing page specific to the whitepaper where they can fill out the form to get the full version.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">The best part about this strategy is that Medium is a free service, so you\u2019re not spending any money for this test, you\u2019re only spending the time to write the blog, which you were likely going to do anyway. So any leads you get will be really cheap, and if you don\u2019t get any leads you can take solace in the fact that you didn\u2019t waste valuable budget on a test. And at the very least you\u2019re getting your content out to a wider audience which will help with brand awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0\">Medium is becoming more of a B2B resource, particularly in the\u00a0<span class=\"c5\"><a class=\"c2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.93x.agency\/blog\/the-ultimate-guide-to-b2b-content-syndication&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1650664277335193&amp;usg=AOvVaw3yz4oEmPHJ2a05cA9Wv4-K\">SaaS space<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<span class=\"c5\"><a class=\"c2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/medium.com\/@estatoora\/how-to-use-ontraport-for-your-business-automation-5155bed030f&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1650664277335379&amp;usg=AOvVaw3ZUbIaUNZjUFbEK5S1pzzt\">Here<\/a><\/span>\u00a0is an example of how it could work.

You also don\u2019t have to worry about the duplicate content issue we mentioned earlier as Medium adds an \u201coriginally published\u201d disclaimer to avoid that problem, and ensuring your website is the original source of the content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0 c4\">\n<p class=\"c0\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/DvKkZETiJdLjPWUqkv_UGzo9IytrUcqIasTQnnWY-WBguWmBSqwm0qk_nKSjnYe-niMclFVKLoZSprePZngTe_ctP4pwn7WC0LU43E8rNP7YL6QeaInmhlFV5y7suHRuoIrpLf0v\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0 c4\">\n<p class=\"c0\">You can also create a\u00a0<span class=\"c5\"><a class=\"c2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/help.medium.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/115004681607-Getting-started-with-a-Medium-publication&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1650664277336432&amp;usg=AOvVaw1eO9FcB_-_ay8Rr78RGUE4\">publication<\/a><\/span>\u00a0on Medium, which is essentially a collection of articles related to the same theme.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c0 c4\">\n<h2 id=\"h.xvvh12n73jyi\" class=\"c7\"><span class=\"c3\">Summary<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">In closing, a content syndication campaign, whether you are going the \u201ctraditional\u201d route of using a 3rd party to promote your whitepapers, e-books, etc. or the less traditional route of testing a service like Medium to promote your content via blogs, is a valuable piece of ammunition in your arsenal in the fight for high quality leads. Use it in addition to Google Ads, LinkedIn ads, Programmatic, etc. as part of a fully integrated digital campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">The usual caveats apply to a content syndication campaign that apply to other paid media campaigns. Be sure you are tracking where MQLs, SQLs and Opportunities are coming from so you can optimize the syndication partners you are using. Freshen up your content so you\u2019re constantly flooding the market with new material. And make sure your list is always up to date.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">A well run content syndication program gives you leads at a fixed price, and as a result it keeps your cost-per-opportunity lower. And you don\u2019t have to worry about constantly fluctuating bids and CPCs\/CPMs like with other programs.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are few varying content syndication scenarios that most businesses need to consider.
