What To Put On Your Website

Many businesses think content creation is simply about pushing out information and attracting as many eyeballs as possible, but there's a lot more to it.

Successful content strategy is about being seen by the right people and engaging them in meaningful ways.

In this episode, we're going to dig into the heart of effective content strategy and how it can grow your business by genuinely addressing your customers' needs and pain points.

Our guest, Atiba de Souza, shares key insights on how to use content wisely and purposefully to boost your business’s revenue, rather than just creating content for the sake of it. This might seem like a simple idea, but many businesses overlook it.

When it comes to content marketing, understanding your audience's pain points and providing them with solutions they’re actively searching for is crucial. Instead of trying to attract everyone, it's more effective to repel some people and deeply attract those who are your ideal customers.

Atiba is the Video Content Superman who was killing Search Engine Optimization (SEO) before the term was even invented. Using a unique method of blending storytelling with search keywords for more than 15 years, he has ranked regional and national brands in the US on page 1 of Google.
