Offsite Content Strategies (Link Building & Brand Building)
Offsite content, such as content created for industry sites, consumer blogs, and social media platforms, can go a long way to expanding your brand’s reach. This is helpful when it comes to link building (which is good for SEO) and brand building (which is good for your business).

An onsite content strategy is a great starting point prior to a website redesign because it considers how your site is being used currently, and whether it meets the needs of 1) your business and 2) your users.
To accomplish this, I analyze:

- The current website messaging and navigation.
- How your site can better funnel traffic to conversion pages.

- Suggestions for your designer.
The end result is a roadmap for your designer and content teams to come together to build a website that works for both your users and your bottomline.
