houston content marketing STRATEGY

So now you are ready to start content marketing – but where do you REALLY start? All of the information below is going to sound like content marketing 101 but it is the FIRST place to start.

Your Vision:  Where do you want your company to be in the next 3-5 years? Work from your vision backwards to plan the content.

Your Audience –   Yes, we know “anyone and everyone” seems like the right answer here but it isn’t. Do you know the average age of your audience? Do you know  how the communicate? How they shop? Where they shop? Who their “referrals” come from?

Your Goals –  Content marketing goals are real and should be quantitative. Remember to refer back to your content marketing vision and audience to ensure that your goals are in line. It might take you some time to get this one down, but keep at it! 

 

but what am i supposed to create content about?

Content ideation takes time and a lot of thought. It’s what will separate you from your competitors and (hopefully) get you to become the expert. But how do you create content? 

  1. Brainstorm. Yep, content marketing starts with brainstorming. What do you think would interest your clients? Do you get asked the same thing over and over by your clients? That’s usually a good indicator that its a highly searched for topic. 
  2. Competitive Research. What are your peers doing? What are your industry leaders doing? Do your research to see who your competition is and how frequently they are adding new content.
  3. Think Laterally. Listen, we get that you can only write so much about air conditioning units, plumbing fixtures or automotive services. But if we think about it laterally, we can talk about the history of the item, the weird things that other countries do with said items or even how these things have changed over the years. It doesn’t all have to be technical – feel free to get fun with it.
