by Chuck Swanson ~ March 8th, 2013
We’re constantly speaking to clients, prospects and friends about the power of social media and blogging. What kind of power and what ROI expectations usually become part of the conversation.

As an SEO marketing firm, we’ve been extolling the virtues of having an active blog since our incorporation, and we’ve helped many companies not only establish a blog presence, but keep a steady flow of fresh, nicely optimized posts.
CONTENT MARKETING

Content can come in many forms, all of which – if optimized – can set your site apart from competitors, giving you better online brand visibility, but perhaps even more important – a voice. A seat at the table, as they say, brings thought-leadership which goes miles toward shrinking sales cycles and converting new business.
- Blogs – establish a blog and let prospects see your passion for what you do, how you do it, and who makes it happen
- Video – create video content and differentiate yourself. YouTube and Vimeo are great places, beyond your site, to create a presence
- Articles – write smart articles and syndicate them at article sites as well as distribute them to bloggers and publishers
- Press Releases – set up shot at PRWeb.com and PRLog.org and publish your press releases. Create a media center or integrate them into your blog for more robust, searchable content
