Gem #1: My Best SEO Idea Ever
It’s no secret that a company can improve its Search Engine Optimization (SEO) simply by adding a lot of quality content to its website. By doing so you provide Google and other search engines with more pages to stuff into their index, and increase the likelihood for searchers to find you.
In addition to having customary content that describes your business, other content can come in the form of buying guides, selling guides, whitepapers, case studies, top 10 lists, guest interviews, guest blog posts, and more. There are literally limitless ways to develop content.
When I was working at a mobile coupons startup, I was really struggling to come up with a content idea that would be relevant to our product, and also drive results for the business.
