Just like a swiss army knife, it can perform a multitude of functions required for survival. These functions include:

One of toughest challenges in B2B marketing is getting your website to rank highly for relevant keyword phrases. To improve your rankings, you need to feed hungry search engine spiders with quality content. But how does one do this?
Blog to the rescue!
Blog posts are the ultimate food source for search engine spiders. If your website is correctly optimised, when a search engine spider comes to visit, it will index all new posts under relevant search terms.

Managing social media communities is hard work. Users are always hungry for content and if you don’t feed them enough, they’ll jump ship to try their luck elsewhere. But does how does one satisfy a social media community’s hunger for content?
Blog to the rescue!

Now you’ve got leads. High five! But it’s not over yet. Now you need to nurture them into sales-ready leads (i.e. so they’re ready to pass over to your sales team). But how does one nurture newby leads into sales-ready leads?
Blog to the rescue!
Writing blog posts that address buyer challenges and link to thought leadership and educational content, helps leads to complete the journey through the buying cycle until they’re ready to be contacted by sales.
Funnel leakage is inevitable. But just because someone leaks from your funnel, that doesn’t mean they’re lost forever. But how does one keep leaked leads in the loop?
Blog to the rescue!
You can keep leaked leads engaged by continuing to write blog posts that address buyer challenges and provide helpful tips and advice. This will help to keep your leaked leads in the loop until they're finally ready to move to the next stage of the buying cycle.
