Content marketing, blog content creation and management
All successful content marketing campaigns start with unique, inspiring great content, be it an image, a video or the written word, which should always be hosted on or lead back to the client website.
We develop great content for all our clients.
We blog ourselves and for many of our clients.
We have a full time in-house blogger as well as many freelance bloggers, writers and content creators.
On a daily basis we manage content calendars and schedules and social media content distribution on behalf of our clients. Evergreen content should be shared again and again and again.
-
SEO
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) has never been more important than it is today. In 2014 Sue Palmer joined our team as our in-house resident SEO expert.
On a monthly basis we conduct full client site technical SEO audits and on-page edits and fixes. We look at everything from sitemaps, broken links, re-directs, URLs, site structure, internal linking, Google error reports, tags, titles and meta-descriptions.
Before we start blogging and implementing a Content Marketing strategy for any client we insist on an SEO audit.
Once a client site has had its SEO clean bill of health we work with clients on their keyword/phrase strategy and research.
We don’t ever publish a client blog without an SEO check first.
