Content Inspiration:

We’ve Been Doing It All Wrong


We have been thinking

social success

Presentation Topic // Presenter’s NameDigital. Marketing. Elevated.

Equals this


Social count is not indicative

of “Success”

This is flawed


Easy to manipulate

We are basing our content ideas off

of what our competitors are doing


It is a small piece of the pie

“Look they are killing it with XYZ,

so lets make a newer version.”

“They did X as an article and look

at those shares! Lets do it as a

guide”

Which works, but…


That’s playing for second


If He copied

If he copied competitors


We would still be here


Instead of here


But to get there we gotta go back to the 90’s

When Keyword Research was

the name of the game


Because I promise you

Adobe AEM Community // @chrisbennettDigital. Marketing. Elevated.27

100%It is the closest thing to a guarantee you will get


and they like guarantees

So what does this look like?


First add about 3 hours to the

5 minutes you currently spend on

keyword research for content


Please! Don’t just type in a phrase in

Keyword Planner and call it a day.

85% of content published (excluding videos and quizzes) is less than 1,000 words long.

However, long form content of over 1,000 words consistently receives more shares

and links than shorter form content. Either people ignore the data or it is simply too hard

for them to write quality long form content.
