They say that preparation is the key to success, and they are not wrong!
Content Marketing - while one of the most important and effective ways to boost online performance and generate inbound leads - is also a highly time-consuming process.
While Google reiterates that quality content remains the top vital ranking factor, businesses just like yours continue to look for ways to ensure they’re producing timely, relevant content that resonates with their audience.
Keeping track of your Content Marketing activities means keeping your finger on the proverbial pulse of current events, industry and sector-specific events and dates, and ensuring you’re enhancing your online visibility by generating content around each of these instances.
What better way to do that than plan out your overarching timelines for the year ahead?
If you’ve downloaded our Content Marketing Calendar Template to prepare for your 2022 marketing activities, you’ll have seen the section titled “Noteworthy Events.”
