Attention Grabbers: 5 Content Ideas To Get Your Firm Noticed

Content attention grabbers are vital assets for any business that wants to generate new leads.

Why?

Well, how many times have you said to yourself “that firm I’ve never noticed will really help me solve my business problem?”

Never, right? In fact, I’d bet no one has ever said that.

The point is, your ideal client can’t indicate an interest in your firm unless you first exist in their world. And you won’t exist in their world until you grab their attention.

But in this advertising-allergic, always-on culture that we live in, that’s much easier said than done.

Now, before you read on, first put yourself in your ideal clients’ shoes.

Okay. You’ll now find five examples of attention grabbers below that will help you understand your audience’s pain points.

These attention grabbers will enable you to write and publish content that your audience will find relevant (relevancy is key if you want to rank highly on search engine results pages), valuable, and worthy of their time investment.

You may use the following examples to title and inform your next content piece–they’ll ultimately help you interrupt browsing unobtrusively and get your firm noticed ahead of the competition.

5. The Consultation

Attention Grabber: Request your free 20-minute consultation with a [INDUSTRY] industry specialist

Why this works: Free consultations demonstrate assuredness and that you have the ability to solve any problem that comes your way. It’s also a great way to judge the market for your services, and enables you to filter the serious inquiries from the ‘maybe-laters’ and tyre-kickers.

After all, if someone clicks for a consultation, it’s likely that they want to buy.

Fill your attention grabbers with genuinely useful information that target specific pain points (make sure you actually deliver when the reader clicks or downloads your offering), and your target audience will be drawn to it. Not only that, it will positively impact you reputation and put you front of mind every time your audience is in the market for your services.

And, because your attention grabbers are so useful, you can ask for something in return–like permission to contact whoever downloads your content or requests to learn more about your firm.

Using content to gather contact details not only consistently delivers a stream of interested new leads directly into your sales funnel, it also saves you enormous time and effort of hunting for those nuggets of highly valuable information yourself.

So when we say ‘vital’, we really mean vital.
