B2B Digital Marketing Strategy

Digital is where B2B deals start—and increasingly where they close. From websites to ABM, the right mix of tactics drives more pipeline and higher-quality leads. But not all digital marketing is created equal. Here's how to build a stack that actually converts.

Website Strategy

Your site is your storefront. It should do three things: build trust, educate fast, and convert clearly.

• Speed & SEO: Use clean code, mobile-first design, and structured markup. Apollo Analytics can help track what's working.
• Conversion paths: Clear CTAs, gated content, and demo requests on key pages.
• Trust builders: Add logos, testimonials, and proof points.

SEO That Wins High-Intent Traffic

B2B buyers search before they speak to sales. Capture intent with:

• Long-tail, solution-aware keywords (e.g. “best CRM for SaaS”)
• Answer-based content for SERP visibility
• Technical health: fast load times, no indexation issues, mobile-friendly

Use Moz or Ahrefs to monitor rankings and backlinks.

Content That Moves Buyers

Digital content needs to match both the buyer's mindset and the deal stage.

• Early-stage: Blog posts, videos, trend explainers
• Mid-stage: Webinars, case studies, comparison guides
• Late-stage: ROI calculators, implementation checklists

Every asset should drive a next step: subscribe, share, request a demo.

Email Done Right

Email still delivers some of the highest ROI in B2B—when it’s done thoughtfully.

• Segment: Industry, persona, deal stage
• Personalize: Use behavioral data and job titles
• Automate: Sequences triggered by engagement signals

Apollo Engage lets you build and send high-performing nurture campaigns based on real prospect behavior.

Social for B2B

It’s not just brand building. It’s distribution, validation, and connection.

• LinkedIn: Primary B2B platform—great for thought leadership and retargeting
• YouTube: Ideal for product walkthroughs and customer stories
• X/Twitter: Real-time commentary, event tie-ins, and influencer reach

Make sure your teams are engaging—not just posting. Build social proof by sharing customer wins and team insights.

PPC That Converts

Paid search and social should be part of your mix, especially for bottom-funnel acceleration.

• Google Ads for high-intent keywords
• LinkedIn Ads for targeting by job title, company, or tech stack
• Retargeting to bring back previous visitors

Every ad should lead to a high-converting, message-matched landing page.

Account-Based Marketing

For strategic, high-value deals, ABM is essential. You’re not fishing—you’re spearfishing.

• Pick your targets: Use Apollo.io to find companies and decision-makers by industry, headcount, and intent signals
• Personalize: Tailored content, ads, and sequences for each account
• Measure: Track engagement and movement across buying committees

Key Metrics

Don't just track MQLs. Here’s what really matters:

• Demo request rate
• Lead-to-pipeline conversion
• Cost per SQL (sales-qualified lead)
• Channel-assisted pipeline

Use Apollo’s reporting tools to measure attribution across channels and accounts.

Trends to Watch

• AI personalization: Tools that adapt copy and sequencing based on signals
• First-party data: Post-cookie tracking strategies are now critical
• ABX: ABM meets customer success for full-funnel orchestration
• Video: Especially for demo requests and onboarding flows
• Interactive content: ROI tools, quizzes, calculators that drive deeper engagement
