Our Content Strategy Is Going Nowhere...What Can We Do To Change That?

Congratulations! You HAVE a content strategy
That’s a great thing, you know. In an age where success is largely shaped by what you do online, having a content plan is a good start, even if right now that plan doesn’t seem to be working as well as you hoped.

So, let’s take a look at why your content efforts may be falling a little flat and those visitors and conversions are on the low side or even non-existent. Actually, ALL websites receive traffic of some kind whether it is search engines indexing your site, spammers looking for a blog to target or good quality targeted traffic that has a high chance of conversion. This last one is the traffic we really care about and will be focusing on.

I have a website and a blog. What’s going wrong?

This is a great start too, but it’s also where many businesses end their digital marketing efforts. They throw up a few web pages, add a few blog posts now and again and they think the work is done. In fact, content marketing is an ongoing labour of love. You need to keep refreshing and revitalizing your website and other channels with high quality content to keep the search engines and your target audience engaged.  Do this, and you will see the results you want.

So what can I do to reboot my content marketing strategy?

That’s a great question and the answer depends on how much work you have done already. If your website has been fully optimized already then it’s time to focus on publishing fresh content including blogs, guest posts on relevant sites and social media content. If your website needs a little work (we can carry out a content review for you) then it’s time to go back to basics with your content.

Here are just some of the reasons a content marketing strategy should be a priority:

  • It allows a business to define and build its brand and to keep content consistent and engaging.
  • You can use different content to target different groups. For example, you could keep content lighter on your social media channels and more formal on your website, depending on your overall business style and tone.
  • You can devise key performance indicators (KPIs) to determine what content works, what magic formulas to repeat, etc.
  • A content strategy helps you to avoid second-guessing and before long you will have a clear idea of what works...and what doesn’t.

But Play by the Rules and with a Clear Conscience

My last blog post was the first time I ever wrote about a deeply personal experience. It certainly was heartwarming and overwhelming to receive so many kind and encouraging messages from family, friends, co-workers, clients, and even some past students and interns. Thank you! Some business associates and clients also responded with feedback on my comments about the “AI-generated content elephant in the room”. Healthy discussions ensued and I want to clarify that I am not against AI-generated content. If your small or medium-sized business has time and budgetary limitations, and you cannot hire a content agency, professional copywriters, and SEO content writers, then AI tools may be the way to go. I’ve summarized the key questions clients are asking about this.

Include Your POV to Encourage Conversion

Imagine how differently we'd see Star Wars if it was told through the eyes of a stormtrooper trying to get his next promotion or through Chewbacca's point of view. The reader of a story interprets the tale through the perspective of the narrator. Choosing an engaging and valuable point of view (POV) is essential to the narrative. You may not think of your content as a novel or a movie, but you're still telling a story through your blogs, email newsletters, videos, and other forms of digital content. Offering a unique POV with your online content can help make your brand stand out.
