Traditionally, Indian exporters have employed standard methods to find buyers. These include reaching out to embassy databases, scouring free leads from the Chamber of Commerce, and leveraging resources like TradeMap and Yellow Pages. While these methods have had some success, they are becoming increasingly ineffective. The primary reason for this is the saturation of these platforms and databases. The buyers they list are already inundated with supplier-exporter options, making it a challenge to stand out.
Another method that has seen a decrease in efficacy over time is the use of B2B websites. Although these platforms claim to connect businesses with viable leads, the reality is often far from it. Mostly the leads are fake, leading to time waste, or are not as mature as they claim. Moreover, even when leads do mature, the competition is often so fierce that it leaves little room for meaningful, effective communication.
Moreover, many Indian exporters struggle to establish a strong online presence. Buyers may not be convinced about the professionalism and reliability of these exporters, which leads to missed opportunities. This calls for a revolutionary, out-of-the-box approach, and this is where we, at Barai Overseas, step in.
The magic word in the new age of digital marketing is "SEO" – Search Engine Optimization. SEO is crucial to increase visibility, credibility, and customer engagement. It helps your brand appear in the top results when a prospective buyer searches for products you offer. However, SEO isn't a monolith. There are two aspects of SEO – On-Page and Off-Page.
On-Page SEO, focusing on optimizing parts of your own website, is becoming less successful due to the surge of AI-powered chatbots like ChatGPT, Bing Bot, and Google Bard. As these bots become popular, the competition to appear on top of search results has intensified. But don't fret! Off-Page SEO can come to the rescue. With Barai Overseas' robust Off-Page SEO services, you can maximize your chances of appearing on top of chatbot search results, thereby reaching a larger audience. Learn More
