Most companies have a tendency to go through the initial motions of starting a blog and doing some basic keyword research before they lose steam and their attention is redirected to other tasks.
Other businesses may consistently publish posts, but the content lacks a certain coherence, purpose or overriding message. Either way, the content won’t have the desired effect and companies lose out on an essential opportunity to build authority and drive leads.
While inbound marketing covers a wide-range of tools, content is the engine the drives all the other moving parts. Well-crafted content is timely, audience and purpose driven and offers the readers valuable information. The days of keyword stuffing and publishing a high volume of sub-standard posts are long gone. Today, content marketing relies on developing clear strategies, producing quality work and promoting through the right channels.
