The right content strategy will increase your search visibility, support the user journey and improve clicks to sale or sign-up

Because publishing blogs posts twice a week is not a content strategy

A content marketing strategy is unique to every business

When understood and implemented correctly a content marketing strategy will positively impact your business and brand.

It will help your audience to find you and to build trust as an authority so that your audience engage with you.

It will guide your prospect to make a confident and informed click of ‘buy now’ or ‘sign-up’.

Churning out content to a content calendar without a strategy, not knowing your keywords, not being aware of your goals or even your audience needs will not bring results.

Anyone can get lucky with a one-off piece of content that gets traffic.

But, being able to drive targeted relevant traffic on a sustained basis and grow brand authority across digital channels is a different challenge that you need an expert for.

Everest

Content audit & strategy

To help Everest regain rankings and traffic we conducted a full site audit to address what content should be removed and improved. We also advised on the structure of a new resource section of content and buying support content through the site. We are currently working with Everest to produce a full plan of high quality content on the site.

The Meditation Trust

Content Strategy

The objective was to position the charity as an authority representing their extensive knowledge of meditation and increase their visibility online. We conducted a full content strategy including a site rebuild. As a result of strategy and efforts the site went from less than 1,000 monthly views to over 12k views and took the site to page 1 for the competitive term ‘Transcendental Meditation’.

Woman Within UK

Content strategy

To define their strategy, to address drop out in the purchase process and to stay in connection with women as they complete a Weekend and transition into the community. We restructured the site architecture with a focused journey that was much easier to move through the site and find key information. We produced a user flow map so that we could map the stages from purchase to Weekend completion and transition to the community. We identified where and why users were dropping out and not completing purchase.

The ShellShock Content Strategy

We can review your current site to take an inventory of what content you already have.

An audit tells us what pages can be improved, what needs deleting because it could be harming your site and what content you’re missing that will benefit your site.

We collate data by doing a full URL crawl of the site – analytics data from Google Search Console and Google Analytics; link and ranking data from third party sources.

We do a manual review of pages to evaluate the quality of your content and usability.

We manually review the SERPs to asses what other types of content are being surfaced in your niche that you might need to include.

We review the competing SERP listings to asses the quality of what pages you are against and to look for insights.
