Here's How to Perform a Content Audit

Search engine algorithms have continually adapted since the start of the internet. What worked on your website a few years ago may not have the same intensity today. Conversely, some pieces of content may be popular and revisited by customers. Many website owners get busy creating new content while forgetting about the past. Good SEO isn’t only about keywords and titles. It’s about the customer experience. That includes what is already on your site. An annual content audit gives you insights into what’s working and what’s not, in your content marketing strategy.

Optimize Team Effectiveness for Content Marketing Success

Conventionally, the 5 Ps of marketing were critical for the success of any business. In the digital era, not all 5 might apply, but the one that always will, is ‘Promotion’. And there’s no better way to fulfill this essential step than with content. As a marketer, your content strategy needs a dedicated approach, much like any other activity that is part of your business. Having a structured team with specific roles and functions will keep everyone on task with their own responsibilities. Even if you have to carry the heavy load, when you’re aware of the different roles involved, it can help you develop your content marketing strategy and plan accordingly.

Making Content Marketers Better Managers

When a sports team wins a big championship, the success is credited to two major factors: the players and the coach. One could argue that a team is only as good as the direction they’re given. That’s why, it’s no surprise that the best coaches in NBA, NHL and the MLB are loved by their teams. Whether they’re coaches, mentors or simply managers, regardless of your field of expertise, the person responsible for giving direction and instruction has a pivotal job on their hands.

When the internet first started, most of us turned our noses up at the prospect of advertising online. As a business owner, you felt that you needed to go with proven marketing. This meant radio ads, billboards, paper advertising, and even the occasional TV ad when things were going well. Most of us have been around long enough to know how the Internet evolved.

When the other advertising methods weren’t as effective, many of us made the decision to focus on digital marketing. At first it started out with the quick pop-up ads that we could get placed conveniently on related sites. Then, we made the choice to really invest in online advertising. Content marketing was still fairly young, and getting your own website wasn’t exactly cheap.

So don't skip your literary greens, folks. Your writing muscles will thank you!

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.

How to Optimize your Content for a Global Audience

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.

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.
