Online Canada Marketing Programs, Training and Platforms
Made-in-Canada influencer platform and training program is awarded "Best in Canada" and "Best in British Columbia"
Canada Content Marketing Influencers come in all shapes and sizes and, more importantly, price ranges and results. Some have high followers but little engagement. That is not good for Canada, nor for the reputation of Canadian influencers. Most high profile influencers search out urban and corporate clients because that is where the money is. That means small communities are left out again! Until now. However, it is safe to say, that not all content marketing influencers are created equal. Not even close.
Types of Canada Content Marketing Influencers
Most content creators specialize in social media. It is a "15 minutes of fame" thing I think. Consequently, what this means, is that their content will focus on one platform like Instagram, Tik Tok or Facebook. Therefore, for any to do well, they must have a high number of followers who engage. Real or fake followers will determine engagement rates? 'Cause now you can buy fake followers.
Another form of content marketing, a more effective technique, is creating authentic stories and information pages which position well on the first page of multiple search engines for a variety of different high profile keyword search terms. Find an influencer who can do both, social and search engines, and you are on the right track.
Search Engine Canadian Influencers
Search engine (SEO) focused influencers create stories about anything and everything under the sun. And good influencers will position that story on the first page of search engines for multiple keyword search terms. However, real good influencers will create content which has a shelf life of 2 -3 years on the first page of search engines. Now that is results! There are hundreds of variables search engine bots diagnose when positioning content on their platforms. Good SEO marketers know them and apply them. And provide the analytics to back them up.
Social Media Influencers in Canada
Canada social media influencers are the fastest growing segment of the content marketing industry. They are everywhere. They post to social media, hoping for shares and engagement. Some social posts live a short life and scroll down the feed out of sight. Social media content has a very short shelf life unless it is widely shared. But when scheduled and marketed effectively, via cross platforms and search engines, it can have a profound effect on the overall engagement results.
Research Canadian Influencers
The simple fact is that the influencer market is not what you see. Do your own research. The word of another, who may think he/she knows best, may be inaccurate, uninformed and bias. Here are some questions you need to ask yourself when deciding on an influencer strategy.
- Look up their social media and compare the followers to the number of people who engaged with their content and/or post. If they claim high followers but show low engagement, then, as they say in space "Houston we have a problem?"
- Do they have other platforms like websites, blogs, and/or social media which distribute your content to a larger market. Are they included?
- Ask for examples of search engine and social media content from all Canada Content Marketing Influencers. What is the shelf life of the content as compared to the price?
- Have they won any awards and accolades? Consequently, is their work recognized in anyway? Ask for references and testimonials. This shows credibility.
