Content marketing

Content marketing works when you publish things people would seek out anyway. It fails when a business publishes because it has decided it should, which is why most blogs stop in month four with three posts nobody read.

The work

What content marketing involves

Answering what customers actually ask

The best material answers questions your sales team hears every week. Those are collected, checked against what people search around them, and the overlap is turned into a plan. It is a faster route to useful work than a workshop about topics.

Fewer pieces, made properly

One well researched piece that becomes the reference on its subject earns more, for longer, than twelve written to a schedule. Committing to monthly and delivering it beats agreeing to weekly and watching it lapse.

Using what you already have

Most sites have older pages that could rank with an update, and several thin ones that would be stronger merged. Improving those is usually cheaper and quicker than adding new material, so that is where the work looks first.

Distribution, not just publication

A piece that nobody sees has failed regardless of its quality. Every piece has a plan for how it will be found: search, email, social, sales use and where relevant outreach.

Start a conversation

Share what you have published and what came of it. You will get a clear answer on whether to continue, change direction, or stop and improve what is already there.
