My Month 1 Update
This first month involved mostly planning out my content calendar, getting comfortable with the tools I was going to be using, and getting help from colleagues. Keep reading to see my initial outline for the project!
Introduction and Planning
So, this is the first month of my quarter-long project and I am very excited about the learning journey that I am about to start.
​
Just giving you a brief overview, from February 2023 to June 2023, I am going to be exploring how to improve the visibility of the company I am working at, Saleslion, in order to improve traffic toward the website and ultimately generate leads.
​
I am tackling this project because
-
As a new marketer, I am eager to learn and gain experience in as many areas as possible. I am a huge fan of the Houston Zoo and the conservation work that they are doing in the wild.
-
I (vaguely) understand that in today's digital age, SEO is one of the most vital aspects of successful inbound marketing as it increases website visibility and drives targeted traffic.
​
​
At the End of This Quarter
I hope to have…
-
… gained tangible skills in SEO, content creation, and inbound marketing.
-
… boosted visibility from 0.29% to over 1.00%.
-
… created blogs or video tutorials for the things that I learned.
-
… created over 20 pieces of content that contributed to the SEO growth.
