The Hidden Value Of A Long-Tail Content Strategy

As mentioned in my previous post, I would like to share the slides with you that I’ve created for my presentation of the webinar organized by PR News, titled “SEO Strategies That Will Help Your Message Find The Right Audience”.

At the essence of my talk, I highlighted the value of strategic content building that should be an integral part of every company’s digital marketing plan, and I’ve shared tips, tricks and tools how the focus on tail terms and topics that will yield the highest return on investment.

For those who are not familiar with the term: “Long tail” terms are queries or key phrases that are more specific (and usually longer) than more common “head” keywords. Although tail terms have lower search volume, they comprise the majority (~70%) of all search queries overall. they are significantly less competitive and have proven to convert at significantly higher rates than head terms. As a result, any Content Strategy that utilizes tail terms as it cornerstone will result in a more successful and sustainable online growth for its business.
