Content marketing is a long and complex process. It takes a lot of time and effort and also requires investments. You can see the results in six months to a year, and this is still the best way to increase profits and sell your services for more.

Why Do IT Companies Need Content Marketing?
To diversify channels
Relying on one or two lead-generating channels is risky. Content marketing can be an additional independent source of growth.
To improve their results with other channels
Even if a potential client finds information about an IT company from other sources (for example, due to a speech at a conference), he or she will visit their website.
The quality of the content may be a trigger for the customer to continue communication with them – or go to a more professional competitor.
To build their reputation
Quality content helps IT companies to create their image as an expert and affects how a potential customer perceives their products or services.
How Do We Create High-Quality Content?
Step 1. We make a plan (outline).
The plan is the backbone of the article. It is a factual framework upon which the future article will be built.
Step # 2. We write.
We check each article using such services as Grammarly and Hemingway. ALL our articles are edited by American editors who are native speakers.
Step # 3. We illustrate the text.
We leave no page without an illustration. We actively use screenshots, photos, charts, and infographics. We do not use pictures from photobanks.
Step # 4. We add a call to action.
This may be a call to request a commercial offer, download a checklist, get a trial version, register in the system, etc.
Step # 5. We publish.
Content Promotion:
PPC
If we find inexpensive low competitive keywords on the topic of the article, we try to promote them via PPC. We check the cost and competition for keywords in Google Ads through Keyword Planner.
Guest posts
We collect a list of resources that write on topics of interest to us. We pitch an article to the selected resources, receive an answer, and write an article tailored to the guidelines of these resources.
Thematic communities in social networks
We initiate interaction with the potential audience in social networks: Facebook, LinkedIn, Quora, Reddit, and Slack.
On your website, we install specific tools to capture emails. From time to time—but no more than once a week—we send letters to the base of subscribers with a link to new articles in the blog.
Promotion through opinion leaders
We contact opinion leaders before publishing an article and ask them to comment on the topic. When the name of the opinion leader is mentioned in the article, his or her motivation to share the post with readers becomes stronger.

Kraftblick in one word is “COOL.” These folks know exactly what the client needs and then cater themselves to propose the right way ahead. Eugene and Irina are pretty cool guys to work with and to the point. Pretty excited after our first strategy call and looking forward for more.

Kraftblick team has created a Discovery Plan for us, the realization of which lasted 2-3 weeks. As a result, we received a comprehensive document describing the further development of Magora and strategic changes in marketing.
Undoubtedly, Irina and Eugene are professionals in their field. We continue our fruitful cooperation!

The Discovery Plan was quite entertaining. In what sense? It provided us with a huge amount of marketing activities that we are still executing (after 3 months).
In the plan, the information is provided in a structured and clear way. It’s like the amount of marketing work is planned for you for six months ahead.
In our case, planning is 50% of success. When Kraftblick’s Discovery Plan arrived, we started scheduling new tasks from it every week. As a result, we got a comprehensive presentation that cannot be read at one sitting and postponed. We have to read it again and again, each time discovering new insights. This is very cool. Thanks to the Kraftblick team!

The Discovery Plan was informative, enjoyable, and helpful. Most importantly – Kraftblick didn’t “beat about the bush”, and the information was clear and consistent.
The plan contains a large set of activities that our marketing team will have to perform to optimize SEO and PPC channels.
Having such a document at hand, we will facilitate the planning of future marketing activities for our company for the next 6-8 months.
Everything was done quickly, efficiently, with relevant comments on points that interested us. Thanks to the Kraftblick team. It was nice working with you!

We have been working with Kraftblick for Paid Search and SEO for over one year now and are very happy with the results.
Starting with some ambitious goals we set, the Kraftblick team put together a plan to get there. We were able to meet our objective for CPL in paid search and have increased traffic to our site for competitive keywords.
The team was also presenting new ideas to execute on that we had not considered.
If you are looking for an agency to manage paid search and SEO, I would recommend you take a look at Kraftblick.

They were just wonderful because we could literally have a discussion, say what we want and need, and hand it over. Irina, specifically, was just phenomenal. She would take a look at where they’re at and make some recommendations from a strategic standpoint.
