Why Fintechs Need Quality SEO to Grow (And How to Do it)

Nov 28, 2022 (Alliance News via COMTEX) -- Today, successful fintech content marketing has to deal with three important challenges the fintech industry faces:

  • A lack of trust: Since the 2008/2009 financial crisis, consumers have found it difficult to trust financial institutions and products.
  • Information demand: As a result of the above, consumers spend time researching financial institutions and products before doing business with them. Research shows that more than 60% of consumers in various finance-related industries run a search on the company before converting.
  • Competitive landscape: As fintech continues to grow, more companies are entering the fray, making it an increasingly competitive sector to stand out in.

    • Effective search engine optimization (SEO) remains a potent way for fintech companies to navigate this situation.

    On-page SEO focus

    Because fintech firms don’t have many indexed pages, the focus on technical SEO should be minimal when compared to on-page SEO.

    That is, fintechs should prioritize the creation of consistent, high-quality content that will build trust, meet consumers’ information demand, and generate a continuous stream of new customers.

    Some relevant on-page SEO tactics include:

  • Internal linking: Building topical authority is now more important than ranking for just some keywords here and there. Linking relevant articles together with pertinent anchor text helps create such topical authority, an important recipe for trust.
  • Meeting search intent: Quality on-page SEO requires that fintechs structure their content in a way that coheres with the intent of the searcher. If a reader wants a list, they should get a list instead of a guide.
  • Multi-keyword articles: While a particular keyword can be primary, a quality content should also incorporate multiple relevant secondary and tertiary keywords.
  • Title tags and meta tags: Title and meta tags continue to be important in the ranking of content. Writing meta data that stands out on the SERP and gives readers something unique enough to click on is more important than ever.
  • Authoritative sources: Quotes from authoritative sources, instead of personal opinions, add to the quality of the content. In an industry where trust is key, such authority is crucial. Prioritize long-tail keywords

    Two- and three-terms keywords are usually difficult to rank for in the fintech space since there are many established companies competing for the same.

    But this is not bad news for fintechs; rather, it’s an opportunity.

    If generating new customers (and increasing revenue) is the goal, then long-tail keywords can be powerful because they are usually related to more specific queries.

    For example, someone searching “how to invest $1,000 in the stock market” is a more likely buyer than someone searching “stock market.” The former is more likely to be looking for a fintech product while the latter is more likely to be completing a simple information search.

    Therefore, fintechs should focus on long-tail keywords that are relevant to their buyer personas.

    Conclusion

    Fintech content marketing requires building trust, supplying consumers with relevant information, and gaining a competitive edge. SEO, when done well, can help achieve these three goals.

    25 Things About Life I Wish I Had Known 10 Years Ago

      25 Things About Life I Wish I Had Known 10 Years Ago 1. Struggle Is Good. Never say “I can’t take it anymore.” Say “Bring it on!” 2. Complain. Complaining is the most significant waste of time there is. Either do something about it and if you can’t, shut up about it. 3. Spend Time with People You Love. ‘That’s your family and best friends. If you don’t have a family, create one. Most people in life are only visitors. Family is for life. 4. Start A Relationship if you’re Not in Love. I’ve done this more than once. You kind of like someone and think: “We might as well give it a shot.” Not a good idea. You’re either in love, or you are not. Don’t fool yourself. It’s not fair to you and the other person. 5. Exercise Daily : I didn’t get this until recently. A healthy body is where you have to start everything in life. If you can’t build a healthy and robust body, what CAN you make in life? 6. Keep a Journal: No, keeping a journal is not for children. It helps you to become a...
