After 5+ years of running our agency and writing in-depth articles about the nuanced details of content marketing (content writing, SEO, content promotion, content attribution, measuring ROI, etc.), we’ve decided to take a step back and discuss content marketing strategy at a high level for people and companies who are just dipping their toes into […]

For the vast majority of businesses, the goal of doing search engine optimization (SEO) — which we define as the process of optimizing pages on your website to rank for valuable keywords — is to generate meaningful increases in revenue. And in our experience doing SEO for dozens of companies over the last 5 years, […]

We define SaaS SEO strategy as the process of selecting keywords that indicate people are looking for (or need) your product, and then creating content (or optimizing existing website content) to rank for those keywords. Over the past 5 years running our agency, we’ve helped to create and implement SEO strategies for dozens of SaaS […]

In our experience, a good SEO content strategy includes (1) deciding what keywords you will target and (2) developing a content plan to rank for those keywords. But over the last 5 years of running our agency, we’ve learned that most companies make a critical mistake with each of those two parts above (keywords and content), […]

From talking to dozens and dozens of SaaS businesses, it’s clear that marketers at those companies know that investing in SEO can give them really nice long-term ROI. Specifically, if you can rank in the top three results for searches related to your product, you can get a reliable stream of traffic from very qualified prospects, […]

We’ve been running our content marketing agency, Grow and Convert, for over 5 years now. In that time, we’ve worked with dozens of SaaS clients and talked to countless more. From these conversations, we now have a good sense of what SaaS companies are looking for in content marketing agencies, what they’re disappointed by in […]

In our sales meetings with prospective clients, we frequently face one recurring objection from people that operate in extremely specialized or technical niches. They’re already bought into our whole approach to content marketing (ranking for bottom of the funnel pain point-related terms, getting the right customer-content fit, recognizing the value of mini-volume keywords, etc.), but […]

We’ve talked in many of our past articles about the core of our content marketing philosophy: Target bottom of the funnel keywords — the terms people who are actively shopping for your product are already Googling — because those lead to more demos, trials, and form submissions than your typical top of the funnel, “awareness” […]

Prior to starting Grow and Convert, the number one issue we noticed about B2B content marketing was that when you sat down to measure leads generated from content, the number of leads attributable to content was minimal to none. This was true of both content produced by in-house teams and content produced by outside agencies. Over the […]

Over the past five years running our agency, we’ve noticed several key flaws with the way most B2B businesses approach content marketing. Namely: They focus content efforts on “top of funnel” topics (i.e. topics that aren’t directly related to the product or service they sell). They write beginner level content for their advanced B2B audiences. […]
