Content May Be King, but Consistency Ensures It Delivers Results

As inbound marketing experts, one thing NgageContent always recommends to clients seeking to improve their digital footprint, increase lead generation, or fine-tune nurturing of prospects is content. Developing a content messaging strategy is critical to reaching and engaging with the audience you want. And while content — whether through email outreach, blogs, longer-form content, or additional content on your website — is the fuel that makes your inbound engine run, it’s consistent SEO content creation that really makes it hum.

SEO and content marketing are a long-term play designed to organically increase an organization’s presence in search engines and position them in front of prospects who are looking for the solutions they offer. But to make the most of this approach requires an investment in time, resources, and persistence. And when done correctly, consistent SEO content creation can deliver transformative results.

Why Invest in Consistent SEO Content Creation?

Let’s start with some basics. First, the concept of SEO (search engine optimization) means optimizing your content to help you attract the right traffic — indefinitely — by targeting the right keywords and supporting them with relevant material. The majority of online traffic is driven by organic results search engines, and SEO helps you appear in those searches more often.

Second, blogging has long been a primary tool used for SEO. Blogs allow you to expand your SEO efforts beyond those implemented on your website’s core pages, encourage readers to learn more about your business, offer different ways to enter and explore the site, and give you the chance to show off your expertise on relevant and engaging subject matter.

Just Let AI Do It?

With the arrival of AI, it could be tempting to make a large upfront investment in content creation. Using generative AI, you could drown your site in millions of words of content in short order, all with a basic SEO approach in place. So, why wouldn’t you?

Relying on AI to write your blogs for you isn’t the best idea for a lot of reasons, but we’ll highlight two here. First, the quality of the content matters, and AI (to this point) hasn’t been able to match human contributions for insight, clarity, and at times even informational accuracy. Poor quality content or content that fails to add anything to an existing topic is typically held in poor regard by search engines. Secondly, another of the many factors search engines consider when indexing sites is something we’ll call the ‘freshness’ rating. Is your site current? Doesn’t it contain old or outdated information? When was the last time new content (either a blog post or page update) was added?

Consistent SEO content creation addresses all of these concerns. You’re employing SEO best practices to make your content more visible. You’re applying the resources needed to make your content unique and relevant to those who read it. And you’re doing it month after month, year after year.

Provide Answers with Consistent SEO Content Creation

Today, consumers and business owners both prefer to do as much research as they can about products and services they need or have an interest in. For example, 78% of consumers say they’d rather get to know a brand through quality content than through ads. For business owners, that number goes up to 80%. Lastly, 95% of B2B product and service buyers say content plays a big role in their decision to work with a company.

Creating quality content, optimizing it for search engines, and consistently delivering value to your audience is laying the foundation for future growth. One month into a content marketing plan, you may not see a spike in traffic or leads, but as you stay the course you’ll discover the growth can take on a life of its own.

Remember, content should provide answers, solutions, and valuable insights to your target audience. When you consistently produce high-quality content that addresses their pain points and questions, you establish yourself as an authority in your industry. This not only attracts organic traffic but also nurtures trust and credibility — leading to them subscribing to your newsletter or filling out a contact form.

Feeding a Greater Strategy

It’s important to emphasize that SEO and content marketing aren’t isolated tactics. They’re integral components of a more extensive marketing strategy. This strategy encompasses marketing automation, inbound efforts, paid advertising, and more.

Your content serves as the foundation for these efforts. It’s not just about individual blog posts or keyword rankings; it’s about creating a holistic online presence that resonates with your audience across multiple touchpoints. It even complements paid advertising efforts by providing valuable landing pages and enhancing the overall user experience.
