6 Tips To Get Your Content Marketing Strategy Right
Using Relevant Keywords in Title and Meta Descriptions:
Users tend to click the website that provides them with relevant information, product or service. Relevant titles and descriptions of the website pages can help to target the right audience. If your titles and descriptions are not updated or irrelevant, users won’t visit your website. For the bakery, we upgraded 40+ web pages with new titles and meta descriptions with the use of relevant keywords. Better titles and meta descriptions help the algorithm understand the content of the webpage and ranks them in relevant searches.
Currently, the website had 6.5M total impressions in the last six months. We knew that we were on the right strategy of SEO and Marketing for restaurants and bakeries, so we continued our efforts in this direction with more steps towards achieving more audience and engagement.
Engagement via Interlinking:
Offering good content is an excellent way to reach prospects. At the same time, you must not forget the old content of your website. Through interlinking, we directed the users to old content so that they browse more on the website. Interlinking relevant information helps to create user-friendly navigation for the visitors, which in turn helps in reducing the website bounce rate.
Reports and Analytics:
