Content Marketing – There are several strategies our content marketing agency will share content for your audience: blogs, videos, infographics, eBooks, and even podcasts. It used to be you could crank out subpar quality content jampacked with keywords to make an attempt to increase SEO. But nowadays, you must produce high quality content that attracts and engages your audience. Your content has to be able to provide value to your customers.
Social Media Marketing – The rapid growth of social platforms aligns social media marketing with content marketing. Businesses use social media channels as a way to engage customers and promote their products and services.

Reposting Blogs to Web 2.0's
Web 2.0’s are places on the internet that host user generated content: Wikipedia, WordPress, and Blogspot are all examples. When posting your blog content to a Web 2.0 you open your content up to being available on more public platforms. This means your website could see a potential increase in traffic. This method also provides a variety of useful backlinks that improve your SEO. Consider using canonical tagging to let the search engine know the source of the original content if you decide to post your blog on both your own website, and a Web 2.0. You want to make sure the blog doesn’t show up as ‘duplicate content’.
Content Marketing to Earn Links
Content marketing can significantly impact your SEO, and earning links from external websites is a great way to go about doing so.
Link Building – Effective link building means that external websites or social media platforms provide links back to your website. Keeping your content unique, fresh, and relevant is a great way to attract interest in your business from external parties.
From an SEO standpoint, the higher quality of content, the greater the chances of your content being shared or referenced — which earns you effective link building.

A weekly link roundup is a weekly summary of the most useful links from content in your industry. Being featured in the weekly link roundup can generate traffic to your website and creates excitement around your content. When you feel you’re in the position of generating quality content, it’s time to consider participating in link roundups. You can reach out to Google, Twitter, and blogs in your respective industry and submit your highest quality content for consideration. Only submit your best, because anything subpar or mediocre is unlikely to make the cut.
