Content Marketing?
As a first step, we stress that clients should not create content that is ‘plain’ and that no one will want to engage with. Effective content should be thought out and planned accordingly. Share the knowledge and experience you’ve accumulated over the years while running or working at your business. Establishing credibility and engaging with consumers is pivotal to convincing Google that you are a powerful source of information, and therefore, worthy of promotion. At Gazz Digital, we create and connect these pieces of content in a way that optimizes this promotion and puts you on top.
Google Looks for Authority with
Content Authors
While quality content is important to Google when determining organic search results, the days of developing content purely based on keywords is behind us. It’s important to build the credibility or expertise of the author to demonstrate your knowledge on a particular subject or topic, which Google refers to as E-A-T, or Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. When blogging for clients, we help to build their credibility by clearly designating them as authors of their blog content. Blogging is one of the most impactful ways of content marketing, and as blog content is engaged with and develops visibility in search, it represents a wealth of resourceful information that enables our authors to gain credibility as a reputable source, and strengthen their E-A-T in the process.
There are various ways to implement content marketing into your business, and the more creative we can be, the better.
Branding yourself and promoting your business through content marketing is a surefire way to get Google on your side while bridging the gaps in your online presence.
