    Jeffs content marketing strategy
    Audit your content holistically and regularly. If not, this will cause misunderstanding among your teams, which then turns into tension. You have to know how to prioritize.

    Creating an effective content strategy
    Its not about one page to one word. Its about your entire collective of content for the different stages of your funnel.

    Targeting people who already made a purchase
    Targeting people who have already purchased does fall under retention and email marketing. But its still an SEO strategy. Provide for these customers and benefit from the user-generated content.

    How Google interacts with user generated content
    Some websites have entire sections dedicated to user-generated content. And once Google finds this content to be relevant, it can also help with your ranking and website authority.

    Content confidence
    Its not just looking at competitors and writing a better article. Having authority provides content confidence. This way you can know if the content you produce will perform.

    Breadth and depth
    Writing content based on the most popular keyword doesnt ensure that you will rank at the top of SERP. You also need domain authority.
