How to maintain content marketing focus in long-running SEO programs

A few weeks ago, I gave a presentation on a SEO-centric content marketing program that members of our team have been engaged in across a two-plus-year run. The presentation outlined preparation and research, steps in execution, performance measurement and communication to teams.

Take note of the last goal we set out for the program: 250 content marketing assets.

A mix of emotions ran across the audience member’s faces, ranging from disbelief to affirmation.
