Building a Content Strategy to Maximize Your Search & Social Efforts

Businesses today understand how important a strong search engine optimization and social media presence impacts their bottom line. The problem is, many companies don't know where to begin when it comes to putting together content. Learn how to turn a solid list of targeted keywords into a strategic search and social outreach plan designed to inform, persuade and ultimately convert your target market.

So you've gone to the trouble of extensively researching and creating a list of highly targeted keywords and keyword phrases for your company. What's next? Jennifer and Stoney have each spent the past decade working with companies to develop and implement sustainable keyword focused content strategies for both organic search optimization and social media outreach.

They'll help you understand the four purposes of online content (research, shopping, buying and sharing) and will guide you through the steps needed to appropriately match the keywords you wish to target with the right content focus. They'll explore the difference between content created for search engines and content created for social media while explaining how they related to and support each other.

This session will also focus on how to break down and reevaluate your existing content to better target the terms and phrases you've discovered. They'll focus on how to properly group concepts and topics together to lead a customer down a path of increasing information as they move through the conversion funnel.
