Will a content strategy work for my business?
Yes. If people are considering purchasing your product or service they usually complete research and that includes reading, listening, or downloading content that will help answer their questions and concerns or even give them ideas for additional things they didn’t realise they also needed.
We know you understand your business and that you would trust you, but a potential customer that’s just started exploring your brand might need a bit more convincing. And while a lot of that can be done through trust signals on your website (e.g. badges) you can also establish yourself as an authority within your industry by having quality content across your product and service pages, as well as through a blog and other forms of content.
From a digital marketing perspective with SEO, quality content that’s not only engaged with but also shared and linked back to provides trust signals to Google. It shows Google and other search engines that your website is a reliable and trustworthy source of information. It’s a key element of SEO strategy that can utilise relevant keywords and can drive traffic to related products and services.
Even if you think no one would want to read, watch or listen to content about your industry you might be surprised.

Do I need to worry about SEO if I’m already doing content marketing?
Content and SEO go hand in hand. Using content as a large source of your search engine marketing campaign will raise your Google rankings. Google’s algorithm is constantly changing, Google loves unique creative content more than anything. In 2016 an ever-growing proportion of Google’s ranking factors relied on great quality content.
Content affects your search engine optimisation in the following ways:
- It improves your social metrics – no-one shares poor, un-relatable content!
- User, usage & traffic/query data, this means that users interact with your content depending on how good it is. e.g. traffics/usage signals from browsers/toolbars/ clickstream/ quantity and CTR of queries.
- Domain level keyword usage e.g. exact-match keyword domains and partial keyword matches.
- Domain-level link authority features. The number of links to the domain providing the trust and authority of links (e.g. Page rank).
- Lastly, if you create your own content you’re not likely to get penalised by Google!
Who will even engage with my content?
In order to deliver engaging and entertaining content that is relevant to your customer, you must first have a solid understanding of the audience you are targeting. By profiling these customers you will be able to create targeted and relevant content that will actually speak to them.
Depending on your industry and your business, you may have multiple different ‘customers’, each of which will have a different profile, meaning you will need to create content that specifically speaks to them, rather than being too general.
A great way to think about these different customers is to ask yourself some questions about your customers and write down a profile or persona for each of them that describes their lives and the way they act.
