In a fiercely competitive online landscape where consumers are choosey about the brands they engage with, content development has become essential for business growth. Agile content marketers reach target audiences where they are, enabling brands to cut through the noise, build trust, and drive conversions.
What will a successful website content strategy look like in 2025? Brands will need a flexible strategy that adapts with evolving consumer behaviours. Search engine optimisation (SEO) will hinge on creating value for users, while artificial intelligence (AI) and social media offer possibilities to supercharge your strategy and stand out from the crowd.
Improve search engine positioning with a focus on value
SEO is your bread and butter, positioning your brand as a trusted resource when your audience has a question or problem. Brands that go beyond keyword phrasing and authority building to ensure alignment with Google’s latest “Search Essentials” are coming out on top. Make content that is helpful, reliable and people-first. A handy guide to checking these boxes can be found over on Google Search Central.
Pro tip: Google’s definition of ‘helpful content’ continues to evolve, so keep your eye out for updates.
Use AI to boost efficiency
With digital marketers under pressure to do more with less, forward-thinking brands are using AI to fast-track the content development process. HubSpot’s State of Marketing 2024 report found that marketers who use AI as an assistant are saving 3 hours per piece of content. Top uses include generating ideas and inspiration, creating outlines, and drafting content, with time saved enabling brands to publish more content, more often.
Pro tip: AI assistance is helping, not hurting, strategic outcomes, with marketers who use AI 95% more likely to say their marketing strategy was effective.
Amplify your content with social media
Social media continues to dominate, with 86.5% of Australian adults active on social platforms. With audiences increasingly connecting with businesses online, and Gen Z turning to TikTok over Google with their search queries, social media presents a mammoth opportunity for brands to get ahead.
Content waterfalls are a quick and easy method of amplifying your content across targeted social platforms. By breaking down longer, high-value content into bite-sized pieces, you can grab the attention of users and entice them into your orbit.
Pro tip: If you’re not making videos, you should be, with quick clips continuing to reign supreme.
