You know that having great content is Google’s number one ranking factor for SEO. Plus, you know all there is to know about your product. Shouldn’t it be easy to combine the two and come up with an effective content plan that works for SEO?
Actually, it can be a bit harder than you’d think! Your opinion of great content might differ from Google’s, or more importantly, it might differ from what your target customer wants to see. How can you know how to structure a content strategy that is focused both on SEO results and drives ROI in terms of real, valuable conversions?
Data Attribution is the key! On December 20th, Head of Operations Andrew Seidman will be hosting our newest Web Clinic: Using Attribution to Plan Content Strategy. In the Web Clinic, we’ll show you how to:
Use Attribution Data to connect SEO to ROI
Use Attribution Data to generate ROI-based content
Plus, we’ll perform some live website audits to look for common SEO mistakes that you can fix right away. We’re looking forward to seeing you!

Notes de l'éditeur
We’re a digital marketing agency specializing in online lead generation, building sales pipelines and revenue.
How exactly do we move the needle for our clients?
We deliver more leads and better quality leads with cutting-edge SEO, SEM, Website Design and Content Marketing strategies.
Choose your key performance indicators based on your ultimate campaign goals.
Ultimately, you should judge content success by measuring how much REVENUE leads brought in through your content marketing efforts and how it’s affecting your your bottom line.
This first set of metrics is a good start in evaluating content performance, but they’re not enough to fully evaluate ROI.
Marketers need take it one step further by tying content efforts to (1) Qualified leads, (2) Sales pipeline opportunity dollars, and/or (3) closed won revenue in your CRM.
Key Takeaway: To measure which campaigns generate the most REVENUE, not just leads, you need to set up your CRM to track closed deals back to the influencing campaign. [Next Slide]
