SEO for account-based marketing (ABM). Our services
SEO can play an important role in supporting account-based marketing efforts.
Explore our SEO services for ABM to find out how search engine optimisation could help you generate more personalised content, attract new leads and build long-lasting relationships.
Account-based marketing (ABM) is a marketing strategy that focuses on targeting specific accounts or companies rather than individual customers or leads. It’s an approach that is often used by B2B sales teams that work with larger, complex organisations with long sales cycles.
The goal is to build strong, long-term relationships with key accounts by providing personalised, valuable content and experiences.
Types of account-based marketing
There are several ABM strategies, for example:
One-to-One ABM – a highly personalised form of ABM, in which a company creates a customised marketing program for a single high value account or client through tailored content, events and other marketing activities
One-to-Few ABM – this involves targeting a small group of accounts that share similar characteristics or needs
One-to-Many ABM – this scalable form of ABM targets a large group of accounts that share similar characteristics or needs
Programmatic ABM – this approach uses technology to automate and scale ABM campaigns, allowing companies to target and engage with a large number of accounts more efficiently. Programmatic ABM typically involves using data and analytics to identify and target the most valuable accounts, then use targeted advertising and content to engage them across multiple channels
