Artificial intelligence has made its way into various industries and transformed them, mostly for the better. The same goes for the digital marketing world – the integration of AI has allowed brands to streamline workflows while enhancing digital marketing campaigns and seeing the best return on investment from campaigns.
Artificial Intelligence uses Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to process human intellectual behaviors to complete tasks and gather data and can be used across content creation, ad targeting, website design, chatbots, and many more.
There are endless benefits for businesses using AI, for example, using AI for lead generation management, personalized email marketing, campaign management or even data-tracking.
AI Algorithms and Data Tracking
AI has transformed digital marketing by using data and information to analyze and report on audience behaviors and market trends. Essentially, AI learns who your audience is – it understands their buying patterns and can allow brands to create content that performs better with their target audience.
Data like this ultimately gathers user information such as age, interests, gender and other demographics which then allows businesses to create highly personalized content, such as promotions, recommendations, and email campaigns targeted to specific customers.
Speaking of data – AI technologies are not limited to tracking buying patterns and audience personas, they can be used to report on location-specific requests and on-site behavior and help convert leads to customers.
Visual Content and Video Marketing
Did you know that 40% of millennials trust video content the most? This is no surprise, seeing as humans process visual content, e.g. videos, 60,000 times faster than audio or text. So, you can see why it’s important to create visually appealing campaigns that will capture your audience’s attention.
Video marketing is a huge way to attract your audience and keep them interacting with your brand. Video content can be used to complement blog posts, as video ads, social media campaigns, and more. Brands should always aim to create content that is engaging and also relevant to the business and audience.
There are AI tools that allow you to convert blogs and articles to videos, giving people the option to watch and listen in, instead of having to read if they don’t have the time. Also, indulging in video technology enhances your brand’s authority and customer trust, after all, we are living in a digital era.
An example of how AI can enhance user experience through visual content is in real estate. Technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) have helped transform the way the industry is currently running – since the pandemic, real estate agents have been able to show viewers ‘digital tours’ of their prospective properties, which can usually be accessed via a computer, laptop or even phones and tablets.
Targeting and Retargeting Ads
Machine learning is a great tool when it comes to targeting or retargeting ads as it can help distinguish which of your ads are the most effective, which ads are performing well, and which are not, allowing you to overall optimize your ad campaigns.
These AI-generated ads are based on user interests, which enhances the likelihood of converting them into a customer.
Remarketing ads is a great way to go after customers who have already engaged with your business, and AI has helped streamline this process too by distinguishing user’s previous interactions with brands.
AI greatly enhances remarketing efforts by utilizing behavioral targeting, predictive analytics, and dynamic ad creation. By analyzing user behavior, AI can create accurate audience segments and predict future actions, allowing for personalized ad content and prioritization of leads.
Dynamic remarketing showcases relevant products based on real-time interactions, while cross-channel integration ensures consistent messaging across various platforms. AI-driven optimization continuously adjusts ad performance through real-time adjustments and A/B testing, maximizing effectiveness.
Ad personalization further increases engagement by tailoring content to individual demographics and interests. Moreover, AI aids in identifying high-value customers and optimizing strategies to maximize their lifetime value.
Climbhire explains that official certifications can help prove your skills in remarketing ads. For instance, Google Ads certification shows to potential clients that you have the knowledge and proficiency to effectively manage and optimize advertising campaigns within the Google Ads platform, including remarketing campaigns.
AI and SEO
When used in conjunction with SEO practices, AI can provide searchers an enhanced user experience. This is because Google has become brilliant at distinguishing different search intents, aiming to provide the best search engine results for Google My Business and general Google shopping results.
Furthermore, using AI for content generation is a key tool for streamlining business processes – this can be short blog posts, web copy, articles, or even video captions – the writing opportunities are endless! AI can strategically pick the most relevant keywords within the copy to rank higher in the search results.
Voice control has become a widely used tool for those who are on the go, multi-tasking, or simply want to get results quicker than by typing their enquiries out therefore using AI to enhance content for voice search is just as crucial as other elements in your digital marketing strategies. Because AI can comprehend and translate speech patterns and differentiate the type of search queries, this also streamlines and enhances the customer search journey, too.
AI-powered voice assistants can learn from user interactions, allowing for more personalized responses and recommendations. Marketers can use this data to deliver more targeted content and offer it to users, enhancing the effectiveness of their marketing strategies. Early adopters of voice search optimization can gain a competitive advantage in their respective markets. By staying ahead of the curve and incorporating voice search into their digital marketing strategies, companies can position themselves as innovative and customer-focused brands.
Final words
It is clear that AI is here to stay, and that it will continue to provide valuable customer insights and enhance digital marketing practices, as it has done so far. Marketers should be indulging in new technologies to differentiate themselves in this competitive digital landscape.
