We have all heard this about hundred or thousand times that ‘Content is King’, but do we really look into the depth of the phrase and figure out why it is called so? Well, then let me explain the importance of having relevant content in your website and how it helps your business attract more customers.
What relevant content is all about?
Relevant content talks about your business alone. For example, if you own a website for a business that sells drug testing kits, you should add content- articles or blog posts that talk about benefits of staying away from drugs, harmful effects of teen drug abuse, use of drug test trips help determine the level of drugs and the like. Avoid writing content that is not related to your business. Thus, do not publish content on your favorite car in the example just quoted.
Make sure that content is focused because search engines appreciate content that is relevant and have a common theme throughout. So, you have to make sure that the content you write is informative, helpful, engaging, relevant and useful to your visitors.
