The Benefits of User Generated Content
User generated content can be the
highest impact web 2.0 enhancement
available for your website.
Highly cost-effective
and very quick and easy to set-up, you can encourage and enable your own online visitors to enhance your marketing, increase your site's retention, bookings, enquiries, repeat visits and browsing time.
By allowing your online visitors to upload their own testimonials, reviews and experiences to your website this breeds loyalty and significantly enhances the interactivity of your site for online visitors.
6 great benefits of user-generated content (UGC)
1.
User generated content greatly increases the
rich media content
of your website and provides regularly updated information. Rich media content includes video and photos. Many of our clients have problems gathering up-to-date seasonal content for their websites, however user generated content is a great source of recent information that will
enhance the aesthetics
of your website and the online visitor experience.
2.
An increase in rich media content and the regularity at which information is added to a website has positive effects on the search engine optimisation of the website thus
increasing the page ranking
of the website in search engines.
3.
User generated content
can provide a
trustworthy
and personal source of
information
about an experience or venue. A recent study has revealed that holidaymakers are now booking trips based on online travel reviews rather than glossy publications. Reviews written by the general public on independent websites, search results on Google and word of mouth advice from family, friends and colleagues are more influential than brochures, advertising, media reviews and advice from travel agents when it comes to booking holidays.
4.
User generated content greatly increase the
interactivity
of a website that in turn can increase the online retention of your website visitors. UGC can contribute to
increased browsing time
on your website and in turn, a higher level of bookings and enquiries.
5.
By offering online visitors a higher level of attractive content and interactivity with your website, this can
increase your online visitor loyalty
thus resulting in higher number of repeat visits. User generated content can really turn your website into more of an
online community
.
6.
User generated content can provide an excellent avenue for
data capture
from your online visitors.
