Every business’s success depends on talking to the right people.<\/p>\n
And, we don’t mean the right investors or the right partners.<\/p>\n
We mean your target audience. Your soulmates. Your customers.<\/p>\n
This should be a crucial part of your brand strategy<\/a>.<\/p>\n There’s a limited number of customers for every business. No one brand can appeal to everyone.<\/p>\n If you want to convert people into customers, you have to find your<\/em> people.<\/p>\n And, therein lies the rub.<\/p>\n Who are these people?<\/p>\n And, just as importantly, where<\/em> are they?<\/p>\n Ideally, you already know something about your target audience. Most business owners and entrepreneurs research and define their target audience in a business plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n This is a smart approach. When starting a business<\/a>, you have to understand your market and audience. Otherwise, your business will fail quickly.<\/p>\n But, in case you haven’t defined your target audience, here’s what you should know:<\/p>\n It’s not enough to know who your best customers are.<\/p>\n You also need to know where<\/em> they are.<\/p>\n What social media platforms do they prefer? Do they read particular publications, listen to specific podcasts, or watch certain YouTube channels?<\/p>\n If you want to attract your ideal buyers, you have to meet them where they are.<\/p>\n The five tactics below will help you figure out how.<\/p>\n <\/div> Google Analytics is the workhorse of the digital marketing world. The chances are good that you’re already familiar with it.<\/p>\n It can help you determine, based on Google Analytics Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)<\/a>, which marketing channels will be most effective for your business.<\/p>\n This article doesn’t have room for a deep dive into Google Analytics – there are entire courses<\/em> on using the versatile tool. But we can offer a few highlights to guide you.<\/p>\n The Audience tab in Google Analytics contains tons of helpful information about the people visiting your website. And, the more you know about the people who are already attracted to your business, the better you’ll be able to target others like them.<\/p>\n So, take a look at these valuable subcategories in the Audience module to guide your marketing channel decisions<\/a>:<\/p>\n Google Analytics can also help you piece together which social media platforms your target audience prefers.<\/p>\n Within the Acquisition module, you’ll find a tab called “Social.” This is where your social media data lives.<\/p>\n The Network Referrals tab in the Social menu (Acquisition -> Social -> Network Referrals)<\/em> will show you which social media platforms have referred visitors to your website – and how many.<\/p>\n This data tells you which social media platforms are most popular with your audience. And, as a result, which social media platforms in which you should invest your time and effort.<\/p>\n Finally, you can set UTM (Urchin Tracking Module) tags to track the content that leads to the most clicks<\/a>.<\/p>\n This allows you to track and segment the behavior<\/a> of those who click on those links in Google Analytics.<\/p>\n\n
