Why won’t people come to our content?

Why won’t people come to our content?

The short answer is that people in charge lacked a basic understanding of SEO. 

A slightly longer answer is they didn’t do link building and outreach, or perhaps they didn’t produce content that was “link worthy” in the first place.

Imagine a restaurant would open in the middle of the desert. Would you go? Even if you knew it existed, you would probably not go – unless that restaurant had unique food (value) to offer you. 

If you want people to come to your content, you need to:

  • Create unique content that they can’t get anywhere else. If you’re just getting started, make sure you start with a WOW factor – for example, invite an influencer to write a guest post or interview a key figure in your industry. That will help you get initial traction.
  • Invite them to come – Make sure you target the right audience that needs/wants your content and let them know the content is there, be it through social media, newsletters, SEM, or any other relevant channel. Don’t be spammy or salesy, just conversational and friendly.
  • Be consistent with your content – Make sure to always have fresh content delivered so that your readers have a reason to come back.
  • Encourage them to share your content so that others can learn about it and to help your content earn organic reach.

What is content marketing exactly?

  What is content marketing exactly?   Content marketing turns traditional marketing on its head. Instead of focusing on a company and its products or services, it focuses on the consumer’s needs first.  The goal of a properly planned content marketing campaign or strategy is to provide valuable, genuinely helpful information to consumers for free, in order to create a relationship with them based on trust, which eventually leads them to make a purchase.

What is an Analytics Segment?

  What is an Analytics Segment? Segments in Google Analytics group site visitors who share common characteristics. They isolate specific types of traffic within your reporting which allows you to interpret your data in a much more efficient manner.  You can easily identify trends that will directly impact your business – for example, if users from a particular location aren’t converting as well as they used to you could try to re-engage them with targeted campaigns, special offers and discounts based on the product pages they have visited. The key benefit of segments is that they provide a temporary filter that can be added and removed and never affect the underlying data. You can add up to four segments at a time and compare the data in your reports. For more information, check out  web analytic  page. --- Answered by: Chad Jenkins
