Morning Takeaways
Content Strategy:
Good content strategy is not just about fitting in keywords, or filling out your site, it’s about story telling. The panelists emphasized the need to not only tell a story that engages your audience with a beginning, middle, and end, but to focus on the purpose of your story. By thinking through what your audience is looking for in your brand, and what you as a brand want to tell them, you’ll develop more successful and engaging content.
Algo-Proofing–Sustainable SEO:
One of the best takeaways from Algo-Proofing came from Ryan Jones, “Good SEOs optimize for Google today. Great SEO’s optimize for the Google of the future.” The whole panel echoed a similar sentiment, urging the audience to think long term about SEO, and to forget about short term fixes. The most sustainable practices are based in focusing on the user.
