When it comes to marketing, the right visibility and positioning will take you a long way toward standing out against your competitors. As business coaches, we often work fiercely to ensure that our clients position themselves well. The result is that they stand out ahead of their competitors and enjoy larger profits in return. If you’re looking for some starting points, we’re here to help. Here are some of the essential ways you can increase your visibility and position yourself as an expert:

Understand your customers’ needs

If you don’t have a clear idea of what your clients or customers want, or even who they are, how can you target them appropriately? Delving deeper into your customers’ psyche gives you the chance to choose the right communication channel for targeting them. In terms of visibility, this allows you to aim for an appropriate audience rather than wasting your efforts targeting those who may not want to hear your message.

Understanding what your potential clients like and dislike allows you to tap into their problems and vulnerabilities, too. As a result, you can inform them how you’re able to make their life easier.

Position yourself via social media

Around 68% of the United States population uses Facebook. Of those people, ¾ use the site daily. This statistic indicates that social media is a not-so-secret way of positioning yourself so that your target market knows you exist.

Understanding your client and customer needs comes before positioning yourself on social media, as sites such as Facebook make it extremely easy to expose yourself to your target market. When you’re able to fine-tune your ads, you’ll appear in the feeds of those who need to see you most. When you don’t understand your clients’, though, this becomes wasted money.

Fine-tune your marketing messages

Whether you’re adding content to your site, running an ad, or upping your social media campaign, you need to fine-tune your marketing messages first. This is where you can target people appropriately and position yourself as an industry expert. Using the information you have about your customers, you need to detail how you’re different, why they should choose you, and what the lasting benefits of your products are. This strategy–product positioning–allows you to persuade others to see the value-added benefits of using your services.

Maintain your presence

After positioning yourself within your market, your work doesn’t end there. Maintaining your presence is the only way to continuously grab new customers and clients, which results in a continuous income. One of the biggest challenges our entrepreneurs face is developing a sense of consistency, but we can help you develop the skills required to achieve it.

Simply having a website isn’t enough. You need to give it the attention it deserves, curate its content, and manipulate its SEO to increase its visibility. By ensuring your site is visible via major search engines, you allow others to see it without an ad. Hitting the higher end of search results also demonstrates your credibility within your profession to prospective customers.
