Content Creation Strategy By Mike King“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch

CONTENT IS LIFEBLOOD OF THE WEB For inbound marketing, content is the price of admission. Make remarkable content or you won’t be around next year.“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy

CONTENT STRATEGY + SEO MUST WORK Content Strategy and SEO go hand in hand. To maximize the effectiveness of each you should absolutely NEVER have one without the other.“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy

WE BET OUR AGENCY ON IT Creating remarkable content is required to build links at scale. At iAcquire we’ve shifted our entire offering to reflect that.“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR WILLIAM WAY? Brands are the new content creators of the future. Watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LerdMmWjU_E It’s time to become a brand committed to building remarkable content targeted at the LGBT audience.“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy

Content Audit“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy

EVERYTHING IS CONTENT! I did a complete content audit of assets across the William Way ecosystem….“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy

WHAT I FOUND 41 HTML Pages (excluding individual calendar entries) 14 PDFs 9 YouTube Videos 4 Vimeo Videos (2 exclusive to Vimeo)“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy

WHAT WAS LINK-WORTHY? The only thing link-worthy on the site right now is the annual report PDF. Other things may be ephemerally share-worthy, but nothing else on the site is likely to naturally attract links.“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy

THE INTERNET HATH SPOKEN! Apparently, I’m not the only one who feels this way. Only 3 URLs on the site have external links and 2 of those are the homepage.“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy

THE INTERNET AGREES AGAIN! According to this Social Crawlytics (http://socialcrawlytics.com/) report your content doesn’t get much traction in social media and most activity is in Facebook.“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy

BUT!“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy

…ALL IS NOT LOST Much of the content on the site can be spiced up with a few engaging additions and made link-worthy.“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy

PUT THE VIDEOS ON THE SITE Place the videos on the William Way site itself (using Wistia) and leverage transcripts (using Speechpad.com) and video sitemaps to improve visibility. While you’re at it put the other 2 videos on YouTube.“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy

MAKE MORE VIDEOS Video appears to be the strong suit of William Way’s content creation. Leverage the community create more video assets for every event that happens in the Community Center.“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy

ADD PICTURES, MAPS Add richer media to existing pages to make them more compelling and share-worthy. Give them as much of an experience is possible without them having to leave the William Way site.“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy

USE GOOGLE CALENDAR The Calendar is a large draw to both the site and the community center itself. Place it on Google Calendar so that it is easily shared and imported by users.“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy

PUSH MORE TO SOCIAL William Way’s social accounts don’t update as often as events happen. Reminders of events and live-tweeting of special events should be implemented.“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy

MAKE IT EASY TO SPREAD THE WORD Incorporate social share buttons that allow people to share the event that they have signed up to attend.“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy

PULL MORE FROM SOCIAL Black Milk Clothing pulls pictures of people wearing their garments from hashtagged pictures on Instagram and Twitter. Do the same for event specific hashtags.“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy

THE NEW DESIGN Make “Donate” Stand out The new design of the site is great. I thank you, the internet thanks you. Only real suggestion I’d give is: Make the donate button a different color or size so it draws more attention.“Did You Google It?” #searchchurch Content Creation Strategy
