How to Use Content Marketing to Attract B2B Buyers

May 15, 2025

How to Use Content Marketing to Attract B2B Buyers

In a world where traditional online marketing tactics are losing their edge, content marketing continues to prove its staying power. Especially in B2B, where buyers are more research-driven, informed, and value-focused, high-quality content has become a core driver of engagement.

According to Demand Metric, content marketing generates three times more leads than traditional marketing and costs 62% less. Yet despite widespread adoption - 86% of B2B marketers use it - only 38% believe their efforts are effective. That’s a clear sign that while content marketing is essential, many aren’t using it to its full potential.

With decision-makers spending only seconds skimming through pages, how do you create content that grabs attention and drives results?

1. Develop a Documented Strategy (Not Just a Verbal One)

A clear strategy is the difference between guesswork and growth. While most marketers say they have a content strategy, only 35% have it documented - and that’s where success lies.

The Content Marketing Institute found that 60% of marketers with a documented strategy reported success, compared to just 32% of those without one. Whether it’s blog posts, whitepapers, or case studies, a documented content plan ensures your messaging, targeting, and goals stay aligned.

Pro tip: Revisit your strategy quarterly. What worked six months ago may not work now.


2. Create Content That Adds Value - Not Filler

Gone are the days of keyword stuffing and filler blogs. Today’s buyers want content that solves real problems and offers insightful, relevant value.

Ask yourself: If I were my target customer, would I find this content useful?

✔ Educational how-to’s
✔ Industry insights and trend analysis
✔ Practical tips or step-by-step guides
✔ Real case studies or customer stories

If your content isn’t helping your audience make smarter decisions, it’s not helping your brand either. Personalization builds trust and credibility, helping prospects see the immediate value of your solution - which increases the likelihood of them saying yes.

3. Optimize Content and Design for Engagement

If you'd like to learn more about how ClientPoint can make your proposal visually appealing, click here to book a demo with one of our experts.

Even the most valuable content can fall flat if it’s buried in poor design. Think of your website like a high-end store: you need appealing displays (design), good lighting (navigation), and friendly signage (CTAs) to keep customers interested.

Key things to check:

  • Mobile optimization: Is it responsive across devices?

  • Readability: Use legible fonts and clear headings.

  • Visual flow: Break up text with images, videos, or bullet points.

  • CTA clarity: Are buttons visible and compelling?

  • Ad placement: Keep it minimal and non-intrusive.

Keep testing different layouts and color schemes to see what drives the most engagement or Schedule a Consultation now to see how easy it is to personalize ClientPoint Themes for example. 


4. Leverage Visual Content for Short-Form Attention

In B2B, content doesn’t have to be long to be valuable. In fact, 95% of B2B buyers prefer short-form content - think videos, infographics, and data visualizations.

💡 Why it matters:

  • Tweets with images get 150% more retweets

  • Facebook posts with visuals drive 87% of all engagement

  • Video marketing consistently ranks top for ROI

Before writing a 2,000-word guide, ask yourself: Could this be a visual or short explainer video instead?


5. Tell Stories That Humanize Your Brand

Behind every great brand is a story. And B2B buyers - just like consumers - are moved by authentic, relatable narratives. See how ClientPoint can help you create more authenticity in your conversation, Schedule a Demo now.

Whether it’s a customer overcoming a challenge or a team innovating under pressure, stories are powerful because they make your brand feel human.

Start with a challenge → introduce your solution → highlight the outcome.
That’s storytelling 101, and it turns even the driest B2B content into something memorable.

Use case studies, behind-the-scenes videos, or founder journeys to build emotional connection.


6. Be Consistent – Momentum Builds Trust

Consistency builds familiarity. And familiarity builds trust.

Publishing high-value content once a quarter isn’t enough. The most effective B2B marketers have a defined content calendar and stick to it—whether that’s once a week or twice a month.

There are tools that can help:

  • Trello or Asana for planning

  • HubSpot, Hootsuite, or ClientPoint for automation and distribution

  • Google Analytics or ClientPoint Analytics for performance tracking

When people know they’ll find fresh insights every time they visit your site or open your newsletter, they’ll keep coming back.


Conclusion: Content That Converts Starts with Intentionality
