With the recent update to Google (Panda Update) content creation has come under fire due to content farms creating a mass amount of low quality content. If you are going to select a content creation agency or firm to create content for your website or do content marketing, it is now more important than ever to get a quality content creation company that understands white hat SEO in a post Panda world.

Content creation and content strategy are two disciplines that need to go hand-in-hand with any agency you choose. It’s no longer acceptable (and can hurt your website’s brand and rankings) to create low value content, syndicate content from other websites, or spin articles and submit them to article directories or websites. The time has come when ignoring content strategy in regards to keyword strategy, competition analysis, and a strategically planned editorial calendar will cause your content creation campaign to fail.

A content creation agency is an agency that focuses on creating quality content that helps inform, educate, and brings out an interaction response (sharing, linking to, watching, or commenting on) to help build brand, drive traffic, and help with conversions. The content should drive traffic and conversions from the search engines, social media, and other websites who have linked to the valuable content that has been created.

What To Look For When Choosing A Content Creation Company

• Local writers with a background in journalism
• Strong demonstrated knowledge of 2011 SEO best practices
• Adherence to 2011 post panda quality guidelines
• A strong understanding of what is and is not valuable content
• A no spinning, no syndication, and no repurposing of content policy
• A demonstrated knowledge of editorial calendars
• A strong knowledge of keyword research and keyword buckets
• An understanding of Head, Mid, and Long-tail Terms and how they are used in content creation
• An understanding of how competition affects content in the search results
• Knowledge of how search engines utilize and ingest content
• Have a deep understanding of how content can have a negative affect on your website if not done properly
• Understand the 4 types of content that should (when possible) be in every article that is written.
• An understanding of how content coupled with social media is used to build links
• An understanding of the benefits of using videos, lists, and infographics for building brands, links, and driving traffic
• An understanding of white hat link building practices
