Content is king, and it has been for a while. If your business isn’t utilizing content marketing properly, you’re missing out.
Here’s why content is king, and how you can create a winning content marketing strategy:
Why Is Content King?
How You Can Create A Winning Content Marketing Strategy
Know What Your Goals Are
For an effective content marketing strategy, you must know what your goals are. Do you want to make more sales? Maybe you want to retain customers and create loyalty? Knowing your goals is key to a great strategy.
Line Up Advertising And Content Efforts
To be most effective, your advertising and content efforts should line up perfectly. For example, you could do a promotion for an E-book you have written.
Create Plenty Of Engaging Content
Not only do you need to create engaging, unique content, you need to make sure there’s enough of it. The best way to do this is to stick to a schedule that works for you. The most effective way to spread your content and get the word out is by using social media. 53% of marketers say that social media is the most important way to share content. Blogs, videos, and infographics can also be effective.
To create engaging content, think about your customers rather than yourself. Some companies wonder how they can use their blog to spread more information about a product, but this can be the wrong way to think. Instead, put yourself in your customer’s shoes. What do they want to read?
If you create engaging content, they’ll likely engage with you. Make sure you comment back and respond to them to spread your reach.
Go For Quality Over Quantity
Although you need to make sure you have enough content, you should always go for quality over quantity. With quality posts, you get more chance of being shared and becoming known as an expert in your field. There is already way too much poor quality content out there. Make sure you’re not adding to it!
Measure The Effectiveness Of Your Strategy
It only makes sense to have ways you can measure your strategy. This will allow you to determine what works and what doesn’t work. You can track your clicks, engagement, and conversions, as well as perform surveys to see how you’re doing.
Don’t just look at the shares to see how well your content is doing. Make sure you’re tracking what people are saying about it too. There are tools out there to assist you with this. You’ll easily be able to see which pieces of content are doing their job and which aren’t.
Make Sure You Understand Your Customer
Knowing as much about your customer as possible will allow you to target your content to them. You must know their interests and needs so you can add value to their lives.
Pay Attention To SEO
Lots of companies miss out when creating their content. Rather than using search terms their customers actually use, they tend to use jargon that only makes sense to them. People aren’t searching for these terms, and your content doesn’t end up performing so well. Although you don’t want to go old school and start stuffing keywords all over the place, you should still produce keyword rich content.
Now you know why content is king and how to utilize a content marketing strategy of your own. Make sure you have fun with it to make it as successful as possible!

I did my research because I know a lot of SEO companies exist and wanted to choose the right one for me. Wisdek's reviews on BBB were good and they explained themselves quite well in my opinion. I approached them for a website design and online marketing program. They took the time to understand everything that I wanted to include in my website and made recommendations even before I signed with them to ensure everything was user friendly and also stayed within Google's guidelines. Next, they treated me with respect and advised us of how long it would take to get ourselves noticed online. All reports are delivered on time and everything is explained to us monthly. Due to their efforts I have been able to gain more clients and people to my website so If you are looking for a company that will simplify the Website and online marketing process to you and show you realistic results at a good price, Wisdek is the way to go.
We started working with Wisdek in June of 2016. We have approached them with an idea that shortly became our core business. They developed our website within one month. We were very happy with the process and communications. We just opened our store location and Wisdek's technicians helped us set up email, hosting and Google maps. We are very excited to start our search engine optimization campaign and grow our business nationwide.
My experiences with Wisdek SEO has exceeded my expectations with the impressive scope of the program. Like many business owners, we find it difficult to stay on top of many of the changes and updates on the SEO industry to stay ahead. We have to rely on experts like Wisdek to do all of the research required to keep up to date with the internet visibility needed to support my business. I look forward to the upgrade, and I look forward to a continued partnership with Wisdek.

We've worked with Wisdek right from the beginning to develop and launch our SEO equipped website. We've grown tremendously on account of their SEO and funnel optimization services. Thanks to Wisdek we were able to take our initial steps onto the market in a quick, safe and inexpensive way. We made the decision to jump in with both feet an utilize almost every unique service that they offer and we're glad we did. Today we have over 1 million clients that are getting organized, getting promoted and getting paid using our application.
I’ve been with Wisdek for over 2 years now and I am very pleased with their service. What was promised, was delivered. About 3 months after I started I began to enjoy good rankings across Google, Yahoo and Bing. Also, the cost was not unreasonable! Wisdek’s service delivers more leads than posting an add in an old fashioned printed directory and is more affordable than print listings were 5 years ago!
Today I have expanded my services with Wisdek from my beginnings in SEO, to PPC and Content Network Advertising. The return on investment has been incredible. I truly believe Wisdek offers their clients cutting edge marketing services and puts businesses where people are searching. I would like to recommend Wisdek to anyone who needs consistent leads for their business.
Northgate Chiropractic & Massage Therapy Centre in Calgary has used Web based advertising and marketing since 2004. As a result of continual investment and effort, our web site always came up first in local searches. The payoff came 3 years ago when people really began to use search as a way of finding our services. Last fall, our internet traffic slowed considerably and we noted that our search listing had dropped from first on page one to the middle of page four, literally making us disappear.
One of our service providers, Eran Hurvitz of Wisdek, explained to us that Google had changed their rules for search and were imposing a penalty on our web site for having back links. (The very thing they promoted previously as improving our web site standing). This penalty resulted in our listing being dropped to page four. There were thousands of these links and it looked like a significant job to remove these links. Eran offered the services of Wisdek to clean up these links and petition Google to remove this penalty. It was initially estimated to take 3 to 6 months to complete this task. To our great pleasure, Wisdek achieved the penalty removal in just over one month. We are now back on top for our local area and are very pleased with Wisdek’s service.
I would strongly recommend Wisdek and for web based service.
Wisdek has provided me with a service I need to make my business grow. It has saved me a substantial amount of time by outsourcing and has allowed me to generate more revenue and build more customer relationships.
My clients are international, there is no better way to reach them than online!
Our Firearm Safety Training business did not exist before we started working with Business Media and Wisdek. Business Media built us a beautiful SEO-Ready website from scratch that is now pulling in leads left right and center. Wisdek applied their most affordable SEO package for local coverage, and it was so effective that we started to rank all across the PROVINCE!
Business is so good that the phones are now ringing daily. We are happy to report that we will be opening a second location as well as a massive firing range in the next few months to capitalize on the overflow. We are actually going to upgrade our campaign with Wisdek to push our business even harder!!
