SEO for Content Marketers
The document discusses search engine optimization (SEO) strategies for content marketers. It suggests that many content marketers take outdated approaches to SEO, such as only implementing keywords in 10-20% of content and reviewing analytics monthly. The document advocates developing content that answers user questions based on their buyer journey rather than just targeting keywords. It also stresses the importance of quality content, optimizing content for different stages of the buyer journey, conducting topic and keyword research, and integrating SEO across all content marketing tactics.
