The eCommerce Marketing Podcast walks you through everything that goes into ecommerce marketing — from inbound marketing to paid advertising to conversions. Learn the strategies top marketing experts use to grow their businesses.
Jeff Coyle, co-founder of Market Muse, discusses the concept of content clusters and how they strategically align with increasing sales. Content clusters involve creating comprehensive coverage of a topic or concept throughout a website, showcasing expertise and providing value to users. Coyle gives the example of Home Depot, which has effectively implemented content clusters by going beyond just product listings and incorporating category showcases, ideas and DIY sections, and community engagement. He emphasizes the importance of authenticity and expertise in content creation, as consumers are becoming more educated and can easily identify inauthentic or non-expert content. In this conversation, Jeff Coyle from MarketMuse discusses the importance of content clusters in building a solid foundation for a brand’s content strategy. He emphasizes the need for brands to find a balance between providing valuable information and overwhelming the customer. Jeff also highlights the role of AI and machine learning in the creation and optimization of content clusters, noting that these technologies can help streamline the process and improve the quality of content. The key takeaway is that brands should approach content clusters with authenticity and involve humans in the process to ensure a genuine and valuable user experience.
