Why is a content syndication partner important?

Content syndication comes with many benefits, from boosting brand visibility to getting high-quality leads.

2. Technology news websites

These sites attract a broader audience, including tech enthusiasts, professionals, and decision-makers in various tech fields.

How to vet content syndication partners: 5 questions

So, how do you know which content syndication partner is best for you?

Consider these five key questions. 

Q1: What are their content syndication approach and deliverables?

One of the first things you need to consider is whether to use paid or free content syndication.

With free content syndication, you share your content with websites and publications, hoping they’ll use it and link back to your site. 

It’s similar to sending press releases to newspapers. But it takes work to find the right partners and convince them to use your content.

For B2B marketers who need results yesterday, this is not always ideal.

On the other hand, paid content syndication means redistributing your content to various publishers for a price.

This makes it easy to get qualified leads. It comes with a cost—but it’s worth it!

An ideal paid B2B content syndication approach should include the steps below:

Q2: Who is their ideal reader?

It’s important to make sure your partner’s audience matches your ideal customer profile (ICP).

You also need to make sure the platform has the industry expertise to get you qualified leads.

Q3: What is their fee structure?

When using paid content syndication, it’s important to understand the fee structure. Look for vendors with flexible prices and low cost-per-lead (CPL) fees.

It’s also important to find out whether they guarantee a set number of qualified leads.

Typically, content syndication costs range from $40 to $100 per lead, based on your targeting criteria. Plus, content syndication platforms that charge a flat fee per campaign can cost you $1,500 to $5,000.

This can create a dent in your budget!

ViB’s CPL starts at $30 with a qualified lead guarantee. But you can start a trial run at $2,000 for 100 qualified leads—guaranteed!

Q4: Do they have tangible results and success stories?

Your B2B content syndication partner should have a track record of success. For instance:

Case study: Google

Siemplify, a company acquired by Google to expand its cloud domain, partnered with ViB to overcome issues like high costs, low ROI, content fatigue, and inconsistent results. 

With ViB, the company got: 

  • 4 times more leads in the pipeline 
  • 50% lead-to-opportunity ratio
  • 100% SATISFACTION

Q5: Do they offer guaranteed leads?

Syndication networks often operate on a pay-per-click (PPC) basis. Advertisers pay for each click their content gets on publisher websites within the network. However, due to their ad-based model, these networks can’t guarantee lead volume or quality.
