A Perfect Scenario for Blogging
About a month ago, I met with Charles Hedmen II, of Bose, McKinney & Associates. Internal to the firm, Charles was writing several briefs a day to inform other attorneys on key appellate cases in Indiana. Pat Coyle and I discussed a range of social media strategies that Bose might want to take advantage of – but one of them was a perfect fit: Compendium Blogware.
Since Charles was already producing so much targeted content, generating a blog that was targeted on keyphrases and words for his practice was going to be simple. We got in touch with Kaila Woodside, a Business Development manager with Compendium and quickly put an implementation plan in action.
We chose Compendium because it’s structured for business processes, simple to use, already search engine optimized, and keyphrase-centric so Charle’s content would provide great density that will attract traffic. In other words, no learning curve, outstanding SEO, no maintenance (it’s a Software as a Service application), has monitoring and security, and the package includes account management to help drive results and performance.
Here’s the Press Release
