90 content marketing takeaways from BlueGlassX

I spent last week in Tampa at the BlueGlassX conference. Upon returning from BlueGlass LA earlier this year, I said it was the best conference I’d ever been to, so I knew what to expect this time. BlueGlass LA was not only a great learning experience, but also was a pivotal point for me in deciding to join BlueGlass.

It  was great to see things from the other side by presenting at the event, and now being a part of BlueGlass. I really appreciate all of the hard work and planning that goes on behind the scenes.

I learned a lot during the event. There were some truly great actionable takeaways. Although there are already great recapposts, I wanted to share some of the most useful tips and soundbites I found tweetable during the event. Here are my 90 takeaway tips from BlueGlassX in the form of tweets:

BlueGlass ConferenceStrategy

  • There’s no longer a debate whether or not content works. Google has made it the only way to go. @GregBoser
  • Chase quality not money. Quality, method, and patience pay off. @GregBoser
  • I ask potential clients more questions than they ask me – it’s an equal interview @GregBoser
  • @lauralippay: I love hearing @GregBoser talk about agency structure and processes and especially *thinking ahead.*
  • Radio ads that tell people to ‘google you’ are genius. Not only do you show up #1, but you give Google signals that matter. @GregBoser
  • Brand queries associate your business with your industry/keywords with Google. @GregBoser
  • 85% of @copyblogger‘s sales process is done through content marketing. It’s the invisible sales process.
  • Main problem with SEO industry is people just look two weeks ahead!

How to run a content audit to improve your SEO performance

When people start content marketing initiatives, they often have lots of new, exciting ideas and brainstorms about how they can generate lots of social attention, influence the influencers, and attract high-quality links.

However, it can be very easy to get carried away with all of these new ideas and concepts and forget that the best content for your brand, might already exist….

Content Auditing

The first step for us, in any content marketing project, is to perform a content audit.

This allows us to:

  • understand what content your users like to see (traffic, links, interaction, social metrics etc.).
  • analyse which content can be a) repurposed, b) better promoted or c) removed.
  • find opportunities for new content ideas.
  • make improvements to lift the overall content performance ratio of your site.

I remember finding Greg Boser’s post on SERP profiling extremely valuable last year, so I’m going to take you through the process we would use for content auditing. This uses Quaturo as an example. We have a very new site, which helps to keep things simple for now, and hopefully it’s a useful way to show how we would approach content auditing.
