Content marketing is a holistic way to grow your SEO ranking. Once you’ve found your niche with particular keywords, and you’ve effectively carved it out by creating content around those keywords, it’s time to share said content.
This is essentially a content marketing plan. By amplifying your content, whether it’s a blog post, infographic, or video to social media and through email newsletters and video mediums, you’re creating a holistic content marketing strategy.
Search engines have become sophisticated enough to connect all facets of your business. By harnessing owned platforms as outlets for your content, you can help search engines understand what you’re all about. Now, with AI entering the search and social spaces, marketers will need to be even more creative about reaching their target audiences where they are and giving them what they need, exactly when they need it. Building audiences and brand loyalty is now table stakes for business success, not just aspiration.
I’ve managed content marketing strategies by writing content, sharing it on social media platforms, creating email newsletters, and owning paid strategies. I helped grow the Wide Open Pets Facebook page organically to over 60,000 engaged fans and drove an additional 1.8 million unique pageviews through social shares.
