Digital marketing is essential for businesses today because there are many potential customers online. Over five billion people use the internet, so it is wise for business owners to advertise their products and services there and benefit from the high traffic. There are many forms of digital marketing and the one a company decides to use depends on their preference and campaign strategy.
As a new or existing business owner, you can also use digital marketing to grow your company and leverage the advantages it has over traditional advertising. To do this effectively, you have to create specific marketing goals, devise a strategy to attain them and allocate a reasonable budget for it. You should also consider using artificial intelligence while creating your digital marketing campaigns.
AI can help you reach your marketing goals faster by creating ad copies, building search engine-optimized websites and writing detailed content about your product and service. These activities usually take a significant amount of time, effort, and expertise to execute. In most cases, you will need to pay professionals to do them, but using AI will cost you a lot less.
Types of Digital Marketing
As implied earlier, there are different types of digital marketing and each one has scenarios where they are best applied. It would help to consult a marketing professional to determine the type that best suits your business. Here are some of the commonly used types:
- Search engine marketing
Search engine marketing (SEM) is the advertisement of a business, product, service, or organization on search engine result pages. Search ads like Google Ads or Bing Ads are configured to appear when internet users search predetermined keywords or phrases related to the entity that posted the ad. These search ads are located at the very top of search engine pages and the advertiser will pay every time someone clicks their ad. You can use AI to create relevant ad copies so your search ads are more attractive to potential customers.
- Search engine optimization
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the usage of keywords and phrases related to a business, product, or service in their website content. The keywords and phrases are strategically placed throughout the website so that when internet users search for them on search engines, the business’s website will organically rank high among the search results. AI can help to create SEO websites and optimize this type of digital marketing.
- Email marketing
You can use email marketing to tell new or existing customers about your product or service offerings so your business stays top of mind. You can get the email addresses of new or potential customers by prompting them to join your email newsletter when they visit your business’s website. AI is useful in email marketing campaigns because it can create email copies quickly for every marketing objective.

If used correctly, digital marketing can increase brand awareness and help grow your company. You do this by advertising your business to potential customers on the internet who have directly or indirectly shown interest in the products or services you sell. AI can make you achieve your goals faster if you use it while planning and executing your marketing strategy.
