What is Content Marketing & Why Is It Important?
We’ve all heard of blogging, but it seems like it is often considered an additional task that most people don’t understand the value of.
Think about how banks publish articles, similar to how a health authority would publish important notices. Regular content signals to Google that your business is a subject matter expert. If you’re an expert, then it’s likely you’re going to see an increase in rankings.
Your articles need to be relevant, accurate and have keyword research phrases within, but most importantly, they need to be written to engage the reader. A content marketing agency like Thinkroom is the solution.

What is Keyword Research?

Your content strategy should start with carefully planned keyword research.

An experienced content marketing agency will plan out your subjects six months prior to them being written and will conduct the relevant research to assist the copywriters as best as possible.
Will People Actually Read My Content?
If your content is well written and being picked up for key search phrases, then yes, large amounts of traffic could easily land on your articles, so it’s essential to think about how you might lead them from your blog, to transacting with your business in some form.
Thinkroom has a few tricks up our sleeves, combining paid advertising with remarketing that can drive your blog article readership through the roof.

Your content strategy encompasses all of this and is one of the most valuable digital marketing practices known.
How to Write a Blog
A blog needs to be written for the reader instead of keyword stuffing the article unnaturally. You also need to choose one keyword phrase per article to focus on, and there’s a certain word count that you should be striving for. If you’re a DIY content strategist reading this, then start Googling the subject you want to write about and then research how the competition is structuring their articles, how long and how often. It’s a time-consuming topic to learn about, so many business owners find that it’s more efficient to just use content services like ours to do it for them.
On-page Content
Your on-page content on your website should also rank for keywords, and it’s essential that your blogging doesn’t compete. Instead, your blogs or articles should be written with similar search phrases and link to your web pages to increase their importance in the hierarchy of your website.
Remember, the purpose of writing blogs is often to drive traffic to your website, which results in readers transacting with you. Linking is critical and yet another reason why you need a qualified content marketing agency ensuring quality control.
