Marketing 2.0 in plain language
This is the 1st post in a series of 5 on developing a Keyword Strategy.
In my previous 3 posts I explained why I consider basic SEO knowledge a core business skill, and how to start with a little self-SEO-diagnostics. I also explained how important it is to use the right keywords. In this post I want to explain how you choose them.
In my post last Monday, I talked about basic knowledge of Search Engine Optimization. SEO is not anymore some technical skill that you can stay averse of as marketer or PR. Today it is a core business skill.
You need to be able to manage the process of optimizing your website yourself. I will be writing a series of blog post that will teach you the important basics of SEO.
So where do you start? What do you need to know?
Producing content for marketing purposes is not new. As a marketer, you have been doing it for years. You have created TV and print commercials, door-to-door leaflets, event flyers, sales brochures, press releases, newsletters, copy for your site, et al.
But this isn’t Content Marketing. This is ‘marketing content’. The content supports your marketing strategy. At the heart it talks about the benefits of your products or services.
For mere mortals it can be pretty hard to understand the technical aspects of what goes on when you search in Google. Yet, as a marketer, you need to understand a bit of this process.
Once you do, a big marketing chance will dawn on you.
So, hang in there for a bit. I’ll first explain the process. Then I will highlight the big opportunity for marketers.
You can run, but you can’t hide!
Search Engines. Google. That we all know. But how to optimize our websites for search engines often seems like a big box of misty magic.
That’s going to change! My goal is to teach you – marketers, PRs, managers and entrepreneurs – the basic SEO skills you need to get your business visible in organic search results.
I’ll kick off by depositing 3 statements:
Hi!
