@mackfogelson@mackfogelson
The stuff on your website is
Foundational ContentThis is the more static stuff that explains who you are and what you do (like your sales & about pages).
![Page 23: 1 Content Balance: Sharing Value vs. Self-Promotion Mackenzie Fogelson @mackfogelson Founder & CEO Mack Web Solutions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eaa5503460f94bae988/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
@mackfogelson@mackfogelson
The other thing about
Foundational Contentis that it’s inherently self-promotional because it is, in fact, about you.
![Page 24: 1 Content Balance: Sharing Value vs. Self-Promotion Mackenzie Fogelson @mackfogelson Founder & CEO Mack Web Solutions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eaa5503460f94bae988/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
@mackfogelson@mackfogelson
So you’ve got to pack your
Foundational Contentfull of value so that it helps your customer. Use video, audio, blog posts, case studies, info graphics.

@mackfogelson@mackfogelson
The stuff on your blog is
Community Building ContentThis is more dynamic. It’s less about what you do and more about what you know.

@mackfogelson@mackfogelson
The thing about your
Community Building Contentis that it indirectly promotes your brand & earns links. It doesn’t need to even mention your company.

You can use your
Community Building Contentto bolster your online reputation as an industry expert, build trust, credibility, and attract customers.

Patagonia does a great job.
This is foundational content that’s directly promoting Patagonia but they pack it full of value instead of just bragging about themselves.
Those are videos.

Patagonia does a great job.
This is community building content that’s doesn’t even mention their company name. It’s all about Tommy. His story resonates with the Patagonia customer. This indirectly promotes the Patagonia brand.

Foundational content before.
This is a foundational content page before it had much value in it.
It was just a bunch of text with bullets.

@mackfogelson@mackfogelson
Foundational content after.
Now this foundational page has case studies, video, and blog posts to provide value and a better experience for their customer.

When you integrate valuable content you make foundational
pages more engaging, you keep customers on your website longer.

They really focus on value and the needs of the customer.
