Although getting your brand name recognized can bring in some clicks, you still need to think about your search engine optimization and content to maximize your presence.
In 2022, organic content based on SEO will be an even more important measure of your site and its success.
Step 1: Bring SEO home
Have a dedicated SEO and content strategy team at every step of the customer journey.
If you represent an enterprise brand, this team should consist of more than one person.
Compared to agencies, internal teams are better equipped to respond to new information and implement new plans faster.
This is because they have direct access to other internal teams and spend dedicated time.
Internal teams know your customers, their challenges, and most of all, know each other.
This level of familiarity helps create content that sells and converts.
Step Two: Include SEO throughout the content process
Don’t just enter your SEO at the end, right before you publish.
Instead, ensure that all members of the marketing team have a solid understanding of SEO.
This way, every stage of the process is driven and informed by organic research best practices.
Be sure to include SEO education for your social team, content writers, developers – whoever may have a hand in creating content for your site.
