Auditing Our Content Marketing Strategy

Examining the Results of an Internal MintCopy Case Study
In order to successfully market your brand, you must continuously examine your content marketing strategy. Practices that worked well for you a year ago might need to be modified or replaced. If you want to determine whether your current methods are still relevant and useful, you need to look at the results that they yield.

If you have not yet implemented a content marketing audit for your business, you might consider doing one soon. To assist you in exploring this concept, the MintCopy team decided to conduct a case study of our own. You can utilize our findings to gain a sense of how to implement a content audit for your company.

What We Learned from the MintCopy Content Marketing Audit:

  • Social Media Strategy Our team first performed analytics on our social media pages, from Facebook to LinkedIn, Twitter, and the posts on our blog. We found that by promoting our content via social media, we were able to direct more traffic to our blog posts. We also considerably increased the number of downloads for our eBooks. Overall, our social media content seemed to be working well for us.
  • Optimizing for SEO Effective SEO is vital to marketing online, so the next step was to analyze the keywords throughout all our digital content. The MintCopy team discovered that some of our earliest content could be optimized with updated keywords. We established a plan of action to strategically place these keywords throughout the applicable content. After doing this, we will monitor the results and proceed to make further changes where necessary.
  • Successful Pages – Some of the pages that received the most views were also the ones that people visited for the longest times. We wanted to make the most of the content on those pages, so we decided to promote them even further via social media. Our team might also add more internal links retroactively to such pages.
  • Leads to Conversions – One of the most important aspects of our audit was examining the ratio of leads to conversions. After performing analytics on several pages, we determined that the least successful content should be revised. We could add additional keywords and further optimize the pages. By modifying the content that yielded the fewest conversions, the team expects to see an improvement in that area. We also plan to repeat the strategies that have worked for the most successful content.     

Content writing should be an integral component of your overall marketing campaign. MintCopy is a leading copywriting agency in Mississauga, and we strive to continuously improve our internal results. By doing this, we are able to continue getting the best results for our clients as well.

Once you have performed an internal content audit for your company, take a look at what your case study reveals. If you need assistance with your copywriting and SEO efforts, our team is ready to help.

Content Marketing Best Practices that Garner Attention

Remember the movie, “Field of Dreams”? It made popular the phrase, “If you build it, he will come”. Shoeless Joe and other baseball legends may have magically appeared on a cornfield-turned-baseball diamond. However, when it comes to content marketing, your audience will need more than a field of dreams to attract their attention. If you’re trying to get more traffic to your website, don’t wait for your local SEO efforts to direct your audience. Give them a hand with these proven content strategies.

How to Use a Pillar Page to Improve your Content Quality

Consider the dictionary meaning of ‘pillar’ – “a firm, upright support for a superstructure”, also defined as “a fundamental precept”. Your content marketing campaign is your ‘superstructure’ that requires a ‘firm, upright support’. That’s the key function of content pillar pages. Without these essential supports, your ‘content superstructure’ will neither stand strong, nor will it attract the right attention.

Two Proven Ways to Organize Products with Similar Keywords

In business, cannibalization typically refers to a loss of sales. A company introduces a new product that displaces sales of an older, usually more outdated, product. Instead of having an increase in sales, the market growth remains stable. What does this mean in the world of SEO and content marketing? Keyword cannibalization occurs when two products have similar keywords or phrases and confuses the search engines about which page is right for which query. Instead of competing with other businesses for search traffic, you’re competing with your own web pages. Here’s why keyword cannibalization is bad for business and how you can overcome it.

The global market is much smaller than it once was.  Statista reports over 5 billion internet users globally, or about 63.1% of the population. Reaching out to a broader market can help your business grow, but it’s not as simple as updating your website in a new language and simply hoping your audience finds you through search.

How to Build a Functional Content Marketing Funnel

Most people don’t wake up and think, “oh, today is the day I buy my new mattress,” unless they’ve researched different brands and checked pricing at different stores. Modern customers often take their time with major (and even minor) purchases. Using that information about today’s shoppers can help you design a content marketing map, or funnel, that guides the customer to your product.

5 Proven Ways to Improve your Website Ranking

The rules of SEO can often feel elusive, as if SEO is a great big experiment in which the parameters keep changing. Search engines keep updating the algorithm. User behavior is evolving and adapting to circumstances, all the time. You don’t have any control over how pages rank, or do you? Google will never share how it determines SEO ranking. Customers change how they search and shop. We may not fully understand the complexity of search engine algorithms, but we can test different elements of a webpage to see how customers and search engines respond to your content marketing strategies. It’s called split testing.

Revitalize, Refine, Repurpose

The Pareto principle is also known as the 80/20 rule. About 80% of your best results will come from 20% of your efforts. When you apply that to a creative endeavour like content marketing, you might be undervaluing some of your content creative efforts. It can be expensive to create content, from scheduling videographers, photographers, models, or even having quality copywriters write a blog post. Chances are that you have some valuable content that can be recycled or repurposed with a little elbow grease.
