Inbound Strategy
A digital marketing approach focused on attracting customers through relevant and helpful content and adding value at every stage in the customer’s buying journey.
Description
Inbound strategy in digital marketing involves creating and sharing valuable content to draw visitors to your website or platform, rather than pushing advertisements onto them. This approach relies on earning the interest of potential customers through content creation, social media engagement, search engine optimization (SEO), and other forms of content marketing. The goal is to attract, engage, and delight customers through personalized and meaningful interactions, thereby turning them into long-term promoters of your brand. Unlike outbound marketing, which interrupts an audience with content they may not be interested in, inbound strategy aims to provide solutions and answers that align with the user's interests and needs.
Examples

- Moz: Through their comprehensive guides, blog posts, and tools related to SEO, Moz attracts marketers who are looking to improve their search engine rankings and digital presence.
