You’re a Leader in Your Industry, But Prospects May Not See You That Way
Quality content marketing helps foster meaningful connections with future customers. But for busy businesses, it’s a tall order. There’s the time crunch, not knowing what to write about and, on top of all that, the need to write consistently so Google notices. If you don’t, your competitors might swoop in to fill the need instead, costing you customers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Content Marketing
Content marketing has many creation layers and takes time to work. Have some concerns? Get straight answers to some standard questions.
How long, exactly, does it take content marketing to work?
It depends. If you’re starting fresh — i.e., on your website, and with no prior blogging — it can easily take 6-12 months to start seeing traction in your Google Analytics. If you already have some blogging history or you’re working with a media partner that has an established audience, it can be closer to 3 months, give or take.
Keep in mind: A consistent volume of quality articles that matter to people will help you reach your goals faster.
How many articles should I publish — and how long should they be?
For your own website, aim for at least one per month, though a weekly cadence is ideal. The more you publish, the more clout you’ll build with Google more quickly.
For sponsored content articles with Metro Parent and Chicago Parent, the tempo is monthly, and the suggested commitment is 4-12 months.
All content articles are around 800-1,200 words each. It’s quality over quantity, but Google does value both.
It seems like a lot of work. What’s the catch?
It is a lot of work. The biggest catch is commitment. You’ll need to devote time, talent and budget to approve and publish at least one story per month over many months. You’ll have a dedicated writer helping you through the process.
Can’t I just talk about my business in just one article?
For quality content marketing, in a word, no. It won’t be consistent enough to gain traction with Google. And it won’t be interesting enough for most people to want to read it. The rule of thumb here: Make it 80% about helping people and only 20% about yourself.
What if I can’t figure out a good “expert” to interview?
Don’t worry! Our writers are pros at talking to people who aren’t used to being interviewed. We also work with you to interview happy customers and tell their stories.
