What is “Online Content”?

Whether you are just launching a business or you’ve been in business for years and are looking for new ways to engage customers, you need to establish a solid content strategy to compete in today’s highly competitive digital marketplace.

Online Content is basically any material on the internet, such as text, images, videos, or music. This content is used by search engines to answer search queries. So, the more content you have, the more likely you are to be listed at the top of search engine results, right? Wrong.

Search engines are smarter than that. They have systems in place that are constantly measuring what they consider to be High Quality Content, a.k.a. the content that not only best answers the search question/statement, but also the content that appears to be used (or viewed) the most. So the longer people spend viewing a website, reading a blog, clicking links in a newsletter, or downloading a free informational guide, the more search engines will favor that content in search results.

So … how do I create great content?

There are many things that need to connect in order for your target audience to find and engage with your business online. Without going into too many details, let’s look at some basics of high quality online content:

  • Engage the right people.
    Every bit of your online content should utilize keywords and keyphrases that satisfy your customer’s search intent. That involves taking a close look at your customer and unpacking what they want and need from your business. If your content is answering their essential questions in a natural way, then they will find you.
  • Include attention-grabbing headlines.
    Just getting users to read your content is a feat in itself. You need to hit the ground running with a strong headline or title that stands out. I’m not talking about click-bait headlines that mislead, but rather headlines that include highly targeted keywords to satisfy well-qualified search intent.
  • Easy to read.
    Web writing today is less formal and more conversational — even for the most buttoned up brands. However, the trick isn’t just to write engaging and informative content, but also to execute it in a way that’s user-friendly. The strategic use of subheads, bullet lists, images and more can take online content from blah to BAM!
  • Call to action.
    Above all, if your online content is not moving a user to an end goal, then it’s doing nothing for your business. Whether the goal is to get clicks on a link, email opens, follows on social media, or product/service purchases, the CTA (call to action) needs to be clearly communicated and compelling to the customer.
Web Traffic is gained by SEO, buzz, pages, links, Ads, and content.
