The #1 metric for B2B content marketing success is website traffic. Here are five free tools that will help you get more …
If you publish a blog post, and no one finds it, does it exist?
With 70% of B2B marketers creating more content than they did a year ago, it’s getting harder to make your content stand out from the competition.
One way to – literally – put yourself ahead of your competition is by improving your rankings on Google. The more love you get from Google, the more you can increase your website traffic, blog readership and online conversion rates.
Here are five free tools that will help your content get found:
1. BuzzSumo

One of the hardest parts of blogging is finding topics that draw readers in. BuzzSumo shows you which content is trending for your keywords. Simply enter your keywords, and BuzzSumo will display the most-shared content containing those words.

5. #SuggestMrx
Keywords still have their place – especially when it comes to title and meta tags.
Google is placing less importance on keywords and more importance on helpful, relevant content. However, keywords still have their place – especially when it comes to title and meta tags.
When you enter a keyword, SuggestMrx will offer a number of related key phrase suggestions. You can search for keywords in domains, such as Google.com, Google.ca and YouTube. You can also narrow your search by language.
These tools can help you bring more leads and customers to your content. But for a bigger SEO boost, regularly add fresh content to your website and blog. According to HubSpot, businesses with websites of 401-1,000 pages receive 6x more leads than those with 51-100 pages. The larger number of pages likely results in higher Google rankings and more clicks.
