• You need to have a regular content production schedule to continually produce new content for your website
• Your level or quantity of content production will depend on what your competition is doing
• You can research your competition to see what their content output is by viewing their blog, or checking their XML sitemaps
• You need to be active in producing new content because Google is continually looking for new content to show in search results
• Use an XML sitemap and submit your website to Google via Google Search Console to automatically get your new content submitted to Google
• Putting out content with 1,200-1,500 words on the page once per week is ideal, but at least once per month or every two weeks is okay
• Sit down one day per month (or quarter) and list out the content or topics you will be working from
• Easy ideas for content creation can include things like category pages, FAQ pages, Q&A, industry news, internal company news or events, and local community related topics
• You can create new content for your website by using case studies or customer testimonials
• Do keyword research to find out the most popular keyword searches for services or products you want to be found for so you can write content specifically for those topics
• You can use a freelancer to help create content for your website, but make sure you understand the process yourself first
