Benefits of Content Marketing
The hardest part about content marketing is simply getting started. It will take some work and you will need to set aside some time to decide what to write about and to put together an article.
But please realize that once you create that first article and it goes on your site, it is there working for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That blog post is an investment in your business and the benefits that you will reap include the following:
- Increased Website Content – more content on your site will keep web visitors on your site longer. This should lead to increased trust in your brand (salon), more return visits, and higher conversion rates. Overall, more time on your site is a good thing. The longer that you have their attention, the better. 🙂
- More Search Engine Real Estate – as you add a new blog post to your site you are adding more content, when in fact you are claiming more web real estate. As you write posts about different topics, you have the ability to rank for more keywords and search term queries such as “Braid hairstyles tutorial” for example. The more blog posts you add, the more opportunities there will be for additional keyword ranking and website visibility.
- Brand Authority – as you continue to write more and more articles in the salon niche, you will be developing trust with your readers. You will be perceived as an authority in your niche.
