I’m sure you’ve heard this phrase, “Content is king.”
It seems like all the rage that you have ‘epic’ content on your site to attract the largest audience. And find the most customers…
So what exactly is ‘epic’… content?
Epic content to someone interested in knitting will be very different than epic content to a homeowner trying to solve their financial crisis.
You want to make sure your content really appeals to people like:
-
Potential sellers
-
Buyers
-
Renters
-
Investors
Content marketing is important for every business that wants to establish a strong online presence. Gearing your content to those groups above means you have the best chance of making a connection.
If you’re unsure about what content marketing is, it’s actually really simple…
It’s giving your target market a glimpse of the best part of your business and the value you can offer them. It’s also some free information your target market could use. Giving away free value helps your prospects start to know, like and trust you.
Trust is very important when dealing with people like desperate homeowners.
What does it mean to have great content?
Content is anything you produce for your target audience. It may be:
-
Links
-
Articles
-
Images
-
Infographics
-
Links
-
Quotes
-
Social Media Posts
A 2016 case study showed that small businesses with blogs experience 126% more lead growth than those businesses that don’t.
Being indexed faster in Google is the key to appearing in the first pages of Google search results. In other words, if your content answers the questions your target market is asking, they’ll see your website when they search for something on Google.
Ranking high on Google is one of the most effective ways motivated sellers can find your website. When people visit your website, you’ll generate more traffic and bring you good business.
2 Main Roadblocks in Writing Great Content
