What is Content Marketing?
Content marketing is a way to communicate effectively with customers online. No smoke and mirrors; very straight-forward.

- Write Blog Posts to answer those questions.
- Does your business or industry have activities involved with use of your products?
- Then write ‘Tips’ Blog posts directed towards your customers or clients.
Example: A Realtor writes a blog post series on ‘Getting your House Ready for Sale’.
SEO TIPS for Blog Posts
1. Google indexes each word in the post link (generated from the Post Title).
2. Google now has the ability to index and provide Search Results for phrases and concepts related to your main Search terms.
3. So in posts/pages – use the main keyword or key phrase several times, 2-3 times in the post.
4. Then, use Searchable synonyms for the keywords. Also include related concepts.
5. BUT – do not ‘stuff’ or overuse keywords and key phrases.
6. Best: just write naturally! your customers will like it – and so will Google.
7. Do use Header tags to break up the text. H1, h2, h3, etc. Google scores use of header tags higher than simply using bold text. And header tags look better.
