Why content rules…we’ve got 300 reasons (a week!) for you
Search engines place websites with the most relevant and valuable content at the top of their rankings. So if you create valuable content, you increase the chances of your website showing up.
Plus good content makes you look like an industry authority and builds credibility.
More content, more customers.
- Example – eChimp.com.au/website-cost-australia, is a blog post we wrote. It is ranked #1 for several big search terms and brings in approx 300 people to our website every week that are looking to get a website (very qualified!). That blog post means more leads, more clients, more revenue.
What makes great content great?
- Relevant, helpful and interesting to YOUR target market
- Well researched and comprehensive (think 500+ words)
- Optimised for search terms your market is typing into Google
