Job Description
There are three main areas of concentration for content specialists: onsite optimization, offsite optimization, and content strategy. Content specialists can choose one area to focus on or more than one, based on their individual interests and skills.
Onsite Optimization
Ideally a Web page will have 250-500 words on a page and custom title and Meta tags that use 3-6 keywords. By using these keywords throughout, a theme for that page will become more evident to the search engines. The keywords selected for a particular page should be weaved throughout the page’s content and code. Keywords with the most monthly searches should be used in the most prominent positions, such as starting a title tag. Onsite optimization tasks include, but are not limited to:
* Conducting keyword research
* Writing title, Meta description and ALT tags
* Writing on-page copy
* Optimizing on-page copy
* Identifying and optimizing header tags
Offsite Optimization
Many tactics are utilized to increase the number of inbound, relevant links to pages on a site. Quality inbound links serve as a \"vote\" for that page by another, and help the search engines to 1) Understand the page content; 2) Establish that the page is worth being linked to; and 3) Judge the page as an authority on a certain topic.
Press releases and articles are syndicated online to increase the number of links into the client’s site. At least one link is created by including the site’s URL in the boilerplate. Some newswire sites allow more links to be embedded in the press release, so we create links using keywords as anchor text, pointing to relevant, lower level pages on the site. The links should be spread out within the release, with only 3-4 links per release.
Offsite optimization tasks include, but are not limited to:
* Writing press releases / articles
* Optimizing press releases / articles
* Adding optimized boilerplate to press releases
* Embedding links from keywords to selected pages on Web site
* Identify target industries for PRWeb and 24-7PressReleases.com
* Syndicate press releases and articles based on client strategy
Content Strategy
Each client may need a unique approach to onsite and offsite content. A press release process deliverable and an article strategy already exist to help educate clients on our tactics. Additional strategies should be developed, based on the following steps:
* Analyze Web site to determine if more content is needed on- or offsite
* Review existing press room to see what type of release topics are being created currently
* Optimize any recent, existing press releases and have the optimized version reposted to site
* Determine if industry would benefit from original articles
* Post articles somewhere on site and/or syndicate them online to create links
Job Requirements
* 2 + years work experience in developing interactive content
* Deep experience in creating content migration, sourcing, and maintenance plans, taxonomies, working with content management systems, digital asset management, databases and SEO best practices
* Strong knowledge of content strategy and online user interaction best practices
* Demonstrated ability to lead content strategy throughout the entire web development process
* Thorough understanding of how to communicate effectively in a digital environment
* Expert level attention to detail
* Experience collaborating on design of complex web sites and evaluating web interfaces
* Ability to analyze customer needs and define strategies for meeting them
* Knowledge of Internet-based business, e-Commerce models, and financial services is a plus
* Ability to partner and collaborate with internal and external teams
* Excellent verbal and written communication and presentation skills
* Excellent organizational skills and an ability to manage multiple simultaneous projects
If you are looking for a high profile position with plenty of room for growth and leadership, this is the opportunity for you. We offer a competitive salary, benefits, performance bonuses, and a great working environment.
