71% of marketers say using strategic keywords was their number one strategy for SEO.
Do you think you can just stuff your website with keywords and rank higher? Think again. It’s not that simple anymore. Depending on your industry, using the right strategic keywords can be one of your most effective marketing tools. Keywords help you target your audience and drive traffic to your site.
At Hero Marketing Agency, we see many agencies picking keywords that are easy to rank for but do not drive traffic to the website.
An effective marketing strategy starts with keyword research and builds content and deliverables around those keywords. This is more important than ever after the series of “helpful content” algorithm updates from Google.
If you’re a business owner, it’s important to make sure you’re investing in SEO. By improving your website’s search engine ranking, you can bring more traffic to your site and grow your business.
However, making sure your website achieves a high ranking takes time and effort, so it’s important to make sure you’re dedicating the necessary resources to achieve this goal.
If you want to see real results from your SEO investment, it’s important to partner with an experienced and knowledgeable marketing agency. At our company, we have a team of experts who can help you improve your website ranking, create compelling content that engages potential users, and drives traffic to your site through targeted campaigns.
Don’t neglect local SEO if your business draws customers or patients from a local community.

82% of marketers actively use content marketing.
Content marketing is a way to attract and retain customers by creating and sharing valuable content. This could be anything from blog posts and infographics to videos and social media updates.
By providing useful and interesting information, you can connect with your target audience on a deeper level, building trust and loyalty over time. Another benefit – Google loves fresh, relevant content and rewards websites with higher search rankings.
Think about your content marketing strategy in terms of how people are likely to process what you publish. This can help you create more effective messaging. If the information is presented effectively, it will be easier for users to learn and retain. As a result, they’ll be more likely to become clients or customers or become loyal followers on social media channels like Facebook or Instagram.

80% of video marketers claim that video has directly increased sales.
After Google and Facebook, Video (YouTube) is the most popular marketing platform.
An overwhelming majority of people (94%) report watching explainer videos to learn more about a product or service, with 84% being swayed to make a purchase.
Videos can help create a more personal connection with potential clients or customers, and they can also be used to educate viewers about the services you offer.
It’s becoming harder to stand out in the marketing space. Invest in video marketing and your business can gain an invaluable marketing tool and edge over competitors.
