MARKET SEGMENTATION

Segmentation of market for digital marketing is the nature of the market that you are competing for. This informs you how competitive the environment is and how you can get a winning edge with your research information. In some markets, natural searches or strategies for social networks is intensively competitive.

When in an SERP result for “travel”, major brands like Expedia, Discovery, and many others fail to make the #1 Position. This indicates the market is highly competitive.

This means that you should not give up on the market if it is already your business; you need to focus on your SEO on less competitive terms that will get you more qualified leads and results.

Finding Information related to your industry is one side, making it different from your competitors’ which is the other side. This is why getting links from 3^rd Parties to your portal is a critical part of digital marketing.

As a part of the brainstorming process, identifying the sources to get the quality links, and the type of content you need to work on should be included. Understanding the content marketing plan will help you to get more information to your portal which encourages people to get linking from quality based portals.
