  15. Define Objectives • What are your big goals? • What are you planning to achieve? • Branding • Thought leadership • Lead generation • Engagement Conversions • Traffic • Who do you want to reach? • What’s the best way to reach them? • What actions do you want to create?

Develop Content Strategy • Content • Know your audience!! • It’s not about you; it’s about them • Align with brand and solutions • Understand news vs. evergreen • Determine where content will live • Marketing • Plan integration with other channels • Paid, owned, earned • Content marketing doesn’t compete with channels;it fuels them • Publishing frequency • Keyword strategy: Reach customers at the moments that most influence decisions

  17. Choose Keywords That Are “Just Right” • Don’t target keywords that are “too hot” (they multiple meanings or are poor matches for your site) • Avoid keywords that are “too cold”—too few searchers look for them • Use the language the searcher uses: An Italian tour operator targets “milano tours” but Americans say “milan tours” • Walmart calls them “associates,” but everyone else calls them “employees.” • A computer maker thinks “notebook” sounds classier than “laptop,” but customers don’t. • Someone looking for “lodging” seeks something different than someone searching for “hotel.” Source: Mike Moran 19
