Creating content for social media pages is a top priority, because it shapes how a person or business is perceived. Users notice the design first and then start reading. If the content or style doesn't suit them or grab their attention, they'll move on to another account. Instagram content should be created with marketing in mind: not just a string of words on a topic, but a well-thought-out structure, emphasis on important details and emojis for better visual perception.
If you want the texts in your social media profile to engage your audience and promote your brand or personality, it's best to leave it to professionals. The CYBORG web studio writes Instagram texts based on a pre-developed marketing strategy. This means every post is written by a creative SMM copywriter who knows how to attract the target audience.
When you need smart content marketing
Social media content should always be of a high standard when it comes to attracting and retaining your target audience. But there are also specific reasons why a new content strategy may be urgently needed.
- Increasing the recognition of a person or brand. A lack of content does nothing for a page's popularity, and poor content only works against it.
- Generating more leads by building a sales funnel into your posts.
- Pulling ahead of competitors and strengthening your advantage.
- Changing tactics to influence your target audience more effectively.
A content strategy needs to change when the published texts no longer deliver results — for example, when new leads decline, follower numbers stagnate or fall, or the sales funnel stops working. Competition on social media grows every year, and users find it hard to take in all the content. If they stop liking something, they drop it.
Stages of developing a social media content strategy
Developing an Instagram content plan and carrying it out is a true art of building communication with your target audience. Whatever the format (posts, long reads, images or video, infographics or newsletters), our specialists follow the same sequence:
- Defining the target audience with preliminary analysis (who the content is for, what it should be about and in what format).
- Auditing previously published posts (it's important to understand the "before" state to set the direction and later compare the "after" result).
- Drawing up a strategy based on the target audience and chosen niche.
- Developing a content plan according to the brief (defining the text style, image format, content and a posting schedule several weeks ahead).
- Planning interactive activities (for example, giveaways for followers or contests with well-known bloggers).
- Writing and publishing the content.
- Analysing the results.
To get the desired effect, this work needs to be done continuously, not just once. Owners of personal or business pages often order account management for a long period — several months, six months or a year.
The duration also depends on the list of tasks. Sometimes content creation needs to be combined with internal and external advertising, ongoing moderation and targeting quality control. Collaborations with public bloggers or brands — opinion leaders — can also improve engagement with the target audience.
And don't worry about the budget. Before creating quality Instagram content, our managers discuss the client's budget and wishes and select individual solutions. The service packages clearly list all the processes carried out by our marketers and SMM managers.
What to expect from effective content marketing
When managing social media pages, CYBORG's specialists use clear metrics to measure effectiveness. Content marketing results are assessed by the following parameters:
- commercial success — more leads, enquiries and direct sales after our writers start publishing next-level posts;
- greater brand awareness — audience engagement, higher loyalty and more users searching for the brand;
- more traffic — follower numbers grow without fake followers or aggressive tactics;
- behavioural factors — users return to the page more often, engage more with content, browse different posts, like and comment.
These metrics may be interpreted or adjusted depending on the business niche or account topic. The assessment can also be tailored to the client's individual requirements.
Besides filling the account with text and images, you may need related services: a search audit, viral marketing, mobile app promotion, social media page promotion or reputation management. You can order any combination of services from CYBORG's specialists. Our marketers, designers and creative copywriters have extensive experience in these areas on projects of varying complexity.
