Successful content marketers know that high-quality texts alone are not enough to make blogs visible. Particularly in competition with major players, success often depends on how well blog promotion is implemented. Those who act innovatively here can tap into new target groups and increase their own return on investment. Many clients report that they are no longer getting anywhere with traditional advertising channels in blog promotion and are therefore looking for new impulses.
Blog promotion: More than visibility
Blog promotion encompasses all measures that help blog posts to be found via search engines, social networks or other channels[2]. Essentially, the aim is to specifically increase reach and activate readers. However, successful blog promotion does not just start with sharing on social media, but also with the conception of the content.
Time and again, companies report that they have been able to increase their brand awareness with a clear blog promotion strategy. One software company, for example, has specifically used LinkedIn groups to disseminate specialised posts and thus gain highly qualified leads. Another company in the B2B sector relies on international networks and distributes blog content specifically in English-speaking communities. They always include relevant hashtags and link to current posts.
Five effective blog promotion tricks from practice
Top decision-makers rely on a combination of SEO, social sharing and strategic partnerships. But there are other, often underestimated methods that make a difference in everyday life. Here are five proven approaches with examples from our consulting environment:
1. content syndication in specialised media
Many companies only publish their blog posts on their own website. It is better to also publish the texts on industry portals or in online magazines. This allows you to reach new target groups and benefit from the authority of the respective platform. One IT company published its guide to digital transformation on a renowned industry portal and was thus able to noticeably improve its lead quality.
2. influencer collaboration
Collaborations with opinion leaders from your own field are an insider tip. In the B2C sector in particular, it has been shown that recommendations from influencers can multiply reach. A manufacturer of fitness trackers invited well-known female athletes to share their personal experiences with the product on the blog - this ensured lasting visibility.
3. use of SEO tools and keyword research
Without in-depth keyword research, blog promotion is often ineffective. Tools such as Semrush or Google Keyword Planner help to identify relevant search terms and incorporate them into content in a targeted manner[1][5]. A consulting company from the healthcare sector regularly uses long-tail keywords to serve specific search queries and thus generate targeted leads.
4. internal and external linking strategies
Links within your own blog and to external sources strengthen the authority of the content[3][11]. One online retailer linked blog posts on different product categories with each other and thus recorded a higher dwell time on the website. External links to trustworthy sources also increase credibility.
5. regular updating and redistribution of old content
Many successful blogs are characterised by the fact that they continuously update and re-share existing content. A communications agency updates all older blog posts once a quarter and resends them in the newsletter - with a noticeable effect on reader numbers.
BEST PRACTICE with one customer (name hidden due to NDA contract) As part of our collaboration, a listed company created a comprehensive content repurposing concept. Five blog articles, three social media posts and two email campaigns were derived from a white paper. The content was prepared specifically for different target groups and provided with suitable calls-to-action. These measures significantly increased brand visibility in the relevant market segment and lead generation increased by over 20 per cent.

My analysis
The blog promotion measures presented here show that online visibility is no coincidence. It is the result of targeted planning, clear objectives and continuous optimisation. Companies that see their blog as a central instrument in the content marketing mix can tap into new target groups and strengthen their brand in the long term. The key is to combine different channels, regularly update the content and systematically measure success.
