How to Use Foundational Content to Drive More Traffic

Most people know how important a solid foundation is when you are building a new home. It’s what supports the rest of the framing offering protection and strength. Much like the framing of a new home, every smart marketing plan needs a strong platform on which to build from. This is where foundational content comes into play. Not only should foundational content be at the core of the information you are providing, it is what helps drive more traffic to your site.

Here are some advantages to using foundational content when building your site:

  • Foundational content offers the important messages you want to share with your readers
  • Foundational content provides a great core of information for you to link back to in the future
  • Foundational content drives more traffic to your site and creates more leads

Use these tips for writing great foundational content

  • This type of content should cover the fundamentals of your brand. Ask yourself what you want your readers to know about your business.
  • Foundational content should be simple and not overly complicated. It should be general enough to speak to a wide range of people while still giving your brand a clear voice.
  • Keep this content keyword rich. Find three keywords that will work well with your individual niche and include those throughout the posts.
  • It is important that this type of content is relevant to your current needs and those of your customer. Update it regularly and continue to fine tune as needed.

    Grand Marketing Solutions has been very effective for us. They are the right size firm with the right mix of talents. They spruced up our logo, redesigned our web site, printed new literature, and worked smoothly with our people.
    - Bill
    Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

    We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
