As soon as the term "content marketing" became a hot buzzword several years ago, companies began scrambling to pump out blog posts. After all, it's as easy as slapping some words together and hitting the 'publish' button, right?

  • Better online visibility
  • Higher number of social shares
  • More inbound links
  • Increased website authority
