WHY IS CONTENT IMPORTANT?

Engages your audience

Google favors sites with built-out content

Content can be reused in different forms

You can use content to tell people who you are and what you do

USE YOUR COMPETITORS FOR REFERENCE

• Spy on your top ranking competitors to see what works for them:

•What types of content are they posting?

•How much (word count, video length, etc.) are they posting?

•How often are they posting?

•What keywords are they focusing on?

• Look at what they are doing, then do it better.

TOOLS FOR KEYWORD RESEARCH

TYPES OF KEYWORDS

Before you can determine what you need content

for, you should know what people are searching for

online and what their intentions are. Not all online

traffic is lucrative.

There are 3 types of keywords that people type into

search engines:

• Research Keywords

• Keywords with buyer intent

• Brand words

RESEARCH VS. BUYER INTENT

R E S E A R C H

People looking for information

Not likely to turn into business

Any term that does not imply a business or service provider

B U Y E R I N T E N T

Lead generating

Will likely have the word “company, service, etc.”

These are the keywords you want to focus on

Plumbing, Painting, Fencing Plumber, Painter, Fence

Contractor

CONTENT STRATEGY

Do your research to create a strategy.

Your content strategy can be planned out in whatever time increment that works for

you.

We suggest making a plan for each quarter and tracking the difference in leads,

ranking, and website/social media traffic.

A content silo

should be

created for

each major

service or

product you are

trying to rank

for.

HOW TO WRITE CONTENT FOR YOUR WEBSITE

HOW MUCH DO I CREATE FOR EACH PAGE OR

POST?

• 500 word minimum. If your competitors are writing 600 words per page, you need to write at least that much. Ideally, 600-700 words is good for your industry.

Written Content:

• Try to keep it around a minute or less. If you are creating a video for social media, keep it around 30 seconds. If it is a tutorial, it can be longer.

WRITING FOR KEYWORDS VS BRAND WORDS

K E Y W O R D S

The main keyword of each inner page

of your website should be in the title and the H1. Do not keyword stuff the content

itself.

B R A N D W O R D S

The homepage of your website

needs to be brand driven. All

content, titles and headings should

be branded keywords.

RECYCLE YOUR CONTENT

Pick a topic

Write a page to post on your website

Create an info graphic out of the same content

Make a PowerPoint out of your content

Create a few short videos using sections of the PowerPoint

BUILDING A LOYAL AUDIENCE

• Build an expectation with a consistent posting schedule

• Post your content on platforms your audience already

uses (LinkedIn, Facebook, ATM Marketplace., etc.)

• Make sure you are posting relevant, useful content that

will bring your readers back for more.

• More content doesn’t always mean you’ll grab more of an

audience. Quality over Quantity

• Focus on the people that you can really connect with.

Reaching out to a broad audience is not going to gain

followers.

• Engage with your audience. Start a conversation with

your followers about the content that you share.
