Get to know your persona

When creating content, you need to know who the content is for. What is your audience interested in?

Researching the interests of your audience allows you to keep content tailored. This engages the audience more as you are offering them what they are searching the web for.

Not every audience has the same interests. For example, a newly passed driver will not be looking for content in the same way as a driver with 10 years of experience. The technicality of terms they use to search for content will differ.

Research your Consumers journey

Think about the stage which your audience and consumers are at. Are they looking for educational content, or do they already know what they want? There are three different stages that you could tailor your on-page content for, for example:

Awareness

Consideration

Decision

Catering to your audience and tailoring content will ensure you provide content that grabs attention. This will assist in traffic to your content and assist with SEO.

Identify your aims

The aims of your content need to be clear from the beginning. This will save time and is more productive. For example, your aims should clarify:

• Your topic choice
• Who your audience is
• Why you are targeting this audience

You need to think.

“What will your content provide the consumers?”

If your aim is clear, writing the content becomes much easier.

Quality over Quantity

Another tip is to offer high-quality content that is different to what other online content and blogs are offering. Content needs to be rich, and insightful and offer the readers a reason to keep reading.

When writing it is important to keep content optimised, but concise. The reader wants information available quickly and with minimum effort.

Evaluate your Content

Make sure you are constantly reviewing your content. This will keep it optimised and ensure it is prepared to market to your audience. Ask yourself the following questions:

1. Is my content optimised for my audience?
2. Is it addressing my audience needs?
3. Is my tone of voice suitable?

Constantly questioning yourself throughout the writing process will keep your content on the right track. So, remember next time you begin writing content, think about what your audience wants to see!
