Using Surveys Within Your Marketing Strategy

Any successful business is underpinned by an authentic understanding of its audience, really honing in on what it is they want to hear and what they really care about.

Regardless of the industry operated in, gaining a competitive advantage by getting to know your customers will ensure you stay one step ahead.

One way to understand your audience is through the use of an online survey. Similar to traditional, printed surveys, digital surveys allow for easy customisation, flexibility and central data capture.

How could I use an online survey?

  • Gain customer feedback or reviews
  • Undertake new product research
  • Understanding your audience
  • Ensure effectiveness of your promotions
  • Brand awareness
  • Build a new audience through data capture

4 Reasons to Refresh Your Existing Content

Refreshing content is about staying relevant, improving visibility online, and keeping your audience engaged. There are several reasons why it’s an important activity, and one to undertake at relevant intervals throughout each year.

8 Ways to Refresh Your Website Content

Refreshing outdated content is one of the most effective ways to boost traffic and engagement. Start by using Google Search Console to identify pages with little to no traffic or declining performance. Review these pieces carefully—check for outdated information, thin content, broken links, or topics that no longer align with your brand. In many cases, content can be updated, consolidated with related posts, or optimised with new keywords rather than deleted outright. However, if a page is beyond saving, remove it and redirect the URL to a more relevant live page. Regularly pruning and refining your content not only improves user experience but also helps maintain strong search rankings.
