Why is Content Important?
SEO (search engine optimization) and content go hand-in-hand: you can’t rank on Google unless you have content, and your content can’t rank unless you do SEO.
Creating compelling and effective SEO content is the only way to rank online.
Additionally, content provides value for your audience. It gives them something to engage with.
Why and How Do I Perform a Content Audit?
A content audit is a process where you review all current content you have - websites, blog posts, events, videos, eBooks, etc. A content audit lays out every content asset you have and where it lives on your site.
Once you have this laid out, you can clearly see where there are gaps and opportunities. You may find that your site is missing a page for a service you really want to highlight, or that you don't have any way to generate leads.
To perform a content audit, all you have to do is follow our template. Download the Content Tracker Template to get started.
