Digital agencies are great at content marketing. They have to be – it’s one of the reasons their clients pay them. With content marketing, the agencies themselves can also attract the leads they need.
For content marketing to yield results, though, the content quality must be excellent. In other words, just blogging or posting on social media regularly isn’t enough.
But what exactly is quality content? In this article, let’s discuss what that means nowadays and in the context of content marketing done by digital marketing agencies. We’ll also look at how to create quality content to drive your agency’s success and that of your clients.
