Publish Content That Positions You or Your Business as a Valuable Virtual CBD Wholesale Consultant
People who are looking to purchase hemp or CBD in wholesale quantities likely have a lot of questions. Many of these questions are likely similar for each person.
The key to successful CBD content marketing is the same as successful selling – provide useful information that can help target customers solve problems and answer questions associated with buying CBD and hemp wholesale.
So, as a good CBD wholesale consultant, you’d want to populate your website blog with answers to all of the popular, solution-oriented questions, that your target customers are asking about buying wholesale hemp & CBD products.

Consistent CBD/HEMP Blog Content Builds Your Online Visibility & Brand Awareness

For your CBD content marketing strategy to be most effective, you need to understand your target customer, SEO, and keyword research. If you need an experienced SEO agency to help you with this, please contact us for a free 30-minute phone consultation.
Use keyword research to identify the most popular keyword search phrases that would be most profitable to your business over the long-term.
Then, take these keywords to guide you in choosing topics for your blog content marketing plan.
This strategy allows you to stay focused on your product line and your target customer instead of just writing any type of content using the most popular keywords that may be too competitive for you to rank for and to complete with.
Choose topics that will help you to write content that solves real-world problems for your B2B customers. These customers will share your content with their colleagues and friends.
Then they, in turn, will share them with their circles of influence, building your authority and your qualified website traffic with every share, and no advertising spend!
This is exactly why we say it pays to create content that your target customers will find valuable enough to share. This goes for both B2B and B2C CBD/hemp marketing and means:
- Updating your posts with relevant, recent data.
- Finding new channels to distribute your content on.
- Taking the time to research what value you can bring to your customers.
With this approach, you’ll be able to create high-quality content in easy to understand blog articles that put your company in the position of the “go-to business” in the wholesale CBD/hemp industry.
This is how you build brand awareness and trust in CBD wholesale. This is essential in CBD B2B blogs and can be achieved with one to two blog posts per week.
Your Own Website Helps You Find Your Sweet Spot For Blog Frequency
It’s recommended to do at least 1-2 blog posts per week for CBD B2B wholesale marketing, however, recent research shows that publishing 2-4 blogs each week will yield the best results in both qualified website traffic and conversions/sales.
While 2-4 SEO optimized blog articles each week may seem a lot for you and your content team to produce regularly, you could consider outsourcing some of your posts to a CBD content marketing agency like ours.
We work as a team with several of our clients and produce some of the content in tandem with their internal team. However, our team looks after the SEO optimization for all of the blog content.
Another recommendation for content production and showcasing your company as the “go-to source” in CBD wholesale, is to engage your internal teams outside of marketing to share their expertise in some of your blog posts.
Let’s be honest, it may be hard to hit a 10x sales target as your blog articles need to position you and your company as an expert in CBD/hemp wholesale.
So, the teams that actually design and create your products: Engineers, researchers, developers, and even other current/past wholesale sales reps, can contribute the very advice potential customers need to put their trust in your company.
Testimonials from sales reps would be ideal for a CBD wholesale business. When these testimonials are in blog articles and showcase your best producers’ experience, you’ll likely attract the kinds of qualified leads that need your company’s expertise to grow their own CBD business.
While you’re coming up with the idea blog publishing frequency, after a few weeks, you’ll also want to pay attention to the publishing frequency that produces the most leads.
Research says that “B2B companies that blog at least 11 times a month garner 1.75 times the leads as those that blog 6 to 10 times a month. If you can stretch your once-weekly blog posts with outsourced content or employee/sales rep-generated posts, you can get 3.75 times more leads”.
