Content is king. That’s what content marketing has been saying for years. But have you ever wondered why? There’s no doubt that the content of a website is crucial. Videos, images and text are the components of that magnet that will attract users and make them come back again and again. Would you return to a website that barely has any content or that always offers the same thing
The importance of working on content marketing
Content marketing is the key to getting your website traffic to take off. This will help you not only retain visitors so they stay on your website but also gain visibility. Wouldn’t you like to appear more often in the search results that users perform on Google or Bing? This way, you will reach more potential customers and even increase your sales.
Based on what has been stated above, we can highlight the following benefits of working on content marketing:
- Web traffic increases.
- You will improve your positioning in the results offered by search engines.
- There is a greater chance that visitors will become customers, that is, buy your products or hire your services.
- You will provide valuable content that will keep visitors coming back.
Recommendations for creating good content
You need to keep in mind that not everything is worth it. In addition to being very clear about the audience you want to target, you need to take into account other factors such as:
- Consider your audience. What interests them? How can you solve any problems they may have? What type of content do they like best?
- Work on keywords . If you want to be found, write about what your target audience is searching for the most.
- Provide value. Once you have those keywords, the next step is to create a text that is relevant to the user. Remember that the text must inform, but also entertain and be attractive to visitors.
- Include links. It is recommended that your articles or posts include both external and internal links. This does not mean that you should link to your competition; there are relevant websites such as the media or scientific journals that can increase the value of your content.
- Readable and accessible content. This means that it is easy to read from any device (computer, tablet, mobile). Remember that people are increasingly reading from their mobile phones.
- Easy to find. Organize your content logically so that it is much easier for the user to find it.
- Pay attention to grammar and spelling. Avoid making spelling and grammatical mistakes. Otherwise, you will give a sloppy image of your website.
- Attractive, yet functional design. I have sometimes encountered websites that were visually very appealing, but had few articles or where it was difficult to see where the posts were published.
- Topics to cover. Provide information about your products, services, current events in your sector or any other topic relevant to your audience. You can cover it in the form of a video, an article or a podcast.
Finally, I would like to emphasize that it is important for your website to have a blog because it is where you will be able to work on the content that will position your website in Google searches. As a result, you will attract more visitors to your website, who can become your recurring customers and little by little you will be able to gain their trust and even become a reference in your sector.
