Our Approach
Top Funnel
1. Defining Target Audience
One of the first steps we took was defining the target audience for the XLA Medium page. Knowing the target audience at the initial stage is of crucial importance because it helps draft the content of the blogs better and get better results for the client.
2. Competitor’s Analysis
The next step was doing a comprehensive competitor SEO analysis to understand what keywords are working for the competitor and what strategy we can formulate to outrank them.
Middle Funnel
1. Keyword Research
We had to do an analytical keyword research to find the right trending keywords for the client and the medium page. Once the relevant keywords were selected, then they were segregated between primary and secondary.
2. 3 Month Comprehensive Content Cluster
We created a detailed three month comprehensive content cluster using the selected keywords. The comprehensive content cluster. The cluster consisted of blogs ranging from 4000 to 1500 words depending on the subject matter.
Bottom Funnel
1. List of Long Tail Blog Titles
We created a list of 50 long tail blog titles to work on. Once the list of the titles was created, the same was sent to the client for approval. The client then selected the titles which resonated with the project.
2. Drafting Blogs
Once the titles were finalized, we started drafting the blogs based on the subject matter, the keywords used, the relevancy of the keywords used and the topics requested by the client. The blogs were segregated into two parts:
- Pillar Blogs – More than 4000 words
- Regular Blogs – More than 1500 words.
