Wearables go a step further; you just strap a smartwatch on to your wrist and it packs a punch. People consume content differently, too. Instead of reading long documents, most people skim content for quick answers. Your content strategy must keep up with your audience. Using pillar pages and cluster posts to organize content is an efficient approach that benefits your readers and your SEO rankings. And oh, your writers will thank you profusely, too!

For a long time, it seemed as if SEO favoured large, nationwide brands with huge websites and massive online presence. Small businesses were finding it difficult to compete against these deep-pocketed digital brand marketers. Enter Local Search, which helped level the playing field a little. Now, if the user was looking for a local business, it became easier to find one. Today, users use search not just to find brands, but to find information. Search engines are constantly changing to give users relevant information, at whatever stage they are in their journey. We’re seeing another trend in search, that of search equity to give more businesses a chance to show off their expertise.

The age-old question of which comes first, the proverbial content chicken or the SEO egg? We don’t have to debate this issue. The answer is easy. It doesn’t matter which came first. What matters is how we balance content quality and readability with SEO best practices. The key is to deliver relevant information for customers in a user-friendly package while making sure the search engine bots evaluate and rank your content for search visibility. Complement your content strategy with your SEO strategy cohesively instead of thinking of them as two separate entities.

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.
