3 ways to distribute your content effectively

Distributing content is almost as important as creating it. The first step in this will often be publishing it on your own website, but that won’t be enough to achieve maximum impact. Even companies with an immense audience such as The New York Times or Red Bull use an extensive arsenal of channels to share their content. In order to develop a good distribution plan for your content, it is very important to put yourself in your target group’s shoes. Where are they active, and which channels do they want to use to see and consume your content? Use your buyer personas for this!

Distribution channels can be divided into three groups: owned media, paid media and earned media.

The ‘cool factor’ of geospatial marketing!

‘Perhaps nobody knows it yet, but geomatics is cool!’ writes Wim van Wegen in a recent column. With this bold statement aimed at enthusing a new generation of mapping and surveying professionals, he sings the praises of the geospatial industry and the future opportunities it offers – because the opportunities are certainly there, but unfortunately they are still underutilised.

Content marketing types and formats

The next step in your content marketing strategy is to determine the type of content and the format in which you are going to publish it. This is an interesting but difficult choice, because there are countless types and formats to choose from. It is not easy to view these two elements separately either, but Chris Lake makes an admirable attempt in his Periodic Table of Content Marketing.

Why geospatial companies are focusing on delivering great content

Geo-matching started in 2012 as the first product comparison website in the geomatics sector. We focused on providing highly technical product comparison, but soon realized that users need context to find a suitable solution. A Geo-matching's perspective on the effectiveness of geospatial success stories.



Geo-matching has been completely revamped and transformed from a basic product comparison website into a comprehensive content platform featuring highly technical product information, case studies and videos. This transformation was driven by the fact that many geospatial users nowadays are looking for information about real-life use cases besides technical product specs. From this, we can conclude that the ‘typical geospatial professional’ no longer exists.
