Search Engine Management Analyst.How did I get here?Why am I in content marketing?

Who am I?

#FXofKC

#FXofKCThink of my role as a sort of eHarmony for websites. It is my job to look at the relationship between your company and search engines and figure out the best way for you to reach your consumers. In addition to matching you with your target demographic group, I figure out the behavior of those demographics using analytics in order to advertise to them more accurately.For example, You and I might shop in entirely different ways.I prefer to browse on competitor websites and spend large amounts of time researching competitors before I make a purchase. You might go right to the source because a friend recommended a product. There is a campaign strategy for each of these mentalities.Why am I in content marketing?One of the reasons I figure out how people search online is to give them something meaningful to entice them to my clients website. Content marketing provides a wide but specific net to encourage your consumers to visit your site and learn more about your company.

Optimize local landing pages and local listings with valuable information to add significant value and boost your local presence. Results will become more heavily personalized for mobile. Fully optimize your website to avoid penalization. Brand mentions and citation will become as powerful as links. Act like a brand and be treated like a brand by Google. Social Signals as a user experience factor. Search rankings will increasingly become about relationships and less about technical strategies.

How do you continue to create engaging content?Ask yourself questions to change the game.Who determines what is considered engaging?Why?Do you have different services that appeal to different demographics?PersonasWould you want to read it?

#FXofKC

#FXofKCHow do you continue to create engaging content?-think about the things that make your organization or company important. -What do you have to share that no one else does?

Use buyer, investor and social person examples

----- Meeting Notes (7/22/15 14:45) -----services-build out personas, what channels are they are on and how they operate----- Meeting Notes (7/22/15 15:17) -----talk about building personas----- Meeting Notes (7/29/15 16:41) -----add stat about attention span statistics here

Do not dull down your content for the massesLose credibilityContent will become staleOffer utility with your contentAttract the wrong type of consumer

#FXofKC

#FXofKC

Contrary to popular belief, do not dull down your content for the masses.-when you dull down your content and make it more appetizing for the masses, you will see an increase in your organic searches and page visits, but at the end of the day which would you rather have, more view, or more conversions?

----- Meeting Notes (7/22/15 14:45) -----offer utility with content! Think of a problem that your consumer base might have, how can you provide them with information to solve it?12

Take a different approach to your contentBe specific in your approachNo two minds think alikeGive them something to take awayActionable informationDont waste their time

-Statisticbrain.com

#FXofKC

#FXofKCinstead of making it something everyone will want to read, make it something specific people will want to read. Dont be afraid to really dig into what makes your business special, and write something that is engaging and informative. The last thing you want is for someone to get to the end of your blog post and think, that was it?-Another strategy is to write multiple blog posts about the same thing, but from different perspectives. After all, your developer and your graphic designer see the world through different lenses, make sure you give each of them something interesting to read.

TMITRACK. MEASURE. IMPROVE.

#FXofKC

#FXofKCYou cant improve without tracking your results. Some blog posts of infographics will be a smash hit on the first try. This is something you may have heard of as catching lightning in a bottle. For the rest of us that do not have this level of luck, testing your content is the only way to ensure you are on the right track. -Look into your Google Analytics or whichever tracking software you use and see how people are responding.-If you send out your content via an email blast or social media posts, dont be afraid to give your audience an option to provide feedback.-Follow up with the people who opened your email and ask them what it was about your content that made them want to go one interaction further.

Users are shifting to posting more visual, engaging content The number of video posts per person has increased 75% globally, and 94% in the US. Facebook, January 2015The Future of Content Marketing

#FXofKC

#FXofKCWe are seeing this shift to a visual language come to life on Facebook. The number of video posts per person has increased 75% globally, and 94% in the US.FB Insights, January 2015.

Nielsen + Facebook Study: Results show that from the moment a video ad was viewed (even before one second), lift happened across ad recall, brand awareness, and purchase consideration. That means even people who never watched the video, but did see the impression, were still impacted by the ad. And, as expected, lift increased the longer people watch the ad.That data shows that people who watched under three seconds of the video ad created up to 47 percent of the total campaign value, and people who watched for fewer than 10 seconds created up to 74 percent, depending on the metric. That means that while lift continued to increase the longer people watched, people didnt have to watch a whole video to be affected by the ad. Even video views under 10 seconds effectively build awareness and drive purchase intent.
