which included a strong presence on BusinessTech.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Sponsored articles and Facebook targeting<\/h3>\n<p>The two main marketing elements Codehesion used on BusinessTech were sponsored articles and Facebook retargeting.<\/p>\n<p>Codehesion regularly published sponsored articles on BusinessTech detailing what services it offered, why it was a superior option to its competitors, and how it could take care of all a company&#8217;s smartphone app development needs.<\/p>\n<p>These articles were published on the BusinessTech homepage, included in the daily email newsletter, and posted to BusinessTech&#8217;s Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn pages.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook retargeting was then used to serve Codehesion adverts on Facebook to people who had read Codehesion&#8217;s articles on BusinessTech.<\/p>\n<p>This retargeting was very successful, as adverts were only serviced to people who had already shown an interest in Codehesion.<\/p>\n<p>This also ensured that Codehesion&#8217;s advertising spend was allocated efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>The result of the BusinessTech campaign was that over the past year 9,167 people visited the Codehesion website to find out more about the company and what it offers.<\/p>\n<p>Content marketing on BusinessTech also provided a\u00a0large number of backlinks to the Codehesion website &#8211; which increased its SEO ranking and resulted in over 2,200 visits from organic Google search traffic.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">BusinessTech the best-performing partner<\/h3>\n<p>The campaign which ran on BusinessTech was so successful, that it delivered more users to the Codehesion website than competing news websites, direct traffic, and organic search.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizcommunity.com\/Article\/196\/793\/204076.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>read more about BusinessTech&#8217;s performance here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>To find out more about advertising on BusinessTech, please contact Kevin Lancaster on <strong><a href=\"mailto:kevin@businesstech.co.za\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">kevin@businesstech.co.za<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Codehesion &#8211;
