s360 & BAUHAUS: Using SEO data to understand consumer trends

How to improve SEO efforts and Content Marketing strategy by using Google Trend data to predict peaks in specific search terms.

The Challenge

Understanding consumer trend is key to creating relevant content

BAUHAUS wanted to create a digital content universe that could inspire and educate their target audiences of DIY people as the primary audience and people buying building materials as the secondary audience.

However, BAUHAUS needed insights into when their audience was receptive to inspiration and what topics they found inspiring. In short, BAUHAUS needed help to understand consumer trends.

The Solution

Creating inspirational and guiding content based on SEO data

s360 integrated Google Trend data in the Content Marketing strategy to know what content to create and when to distribute it based on SEO insights related to which and when certain keywords spike in search. Additionally, s360 relied on a topic clustering strategy to pursue ownership of topics related to BAUHAUS.

s360 strengthened the focus on the two target groups by creating an environment on the BAUHAUS platform with a primary focus on inspirational and guiding content based on insights from Google Trend data, while a secondary focus was to include the commercial pages as cluster content to ensure the traffic also leads to transactions.
