Content Strategy

Voice search has transformed how users interact with technology and access information online. Today, asking Google Assistant, Siri or Alexa for movie streaming locations, news updates or cooking tips has become routine. 

With the rise of AI-enhanced neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), the demand for automatic speech recognition capabilities has skyrocketed. Website owners must embrace this evolving trend to enhance their online presence and provide the seamless experiences users now expect. Here’s how to go about it in six steps. 

Content is at the heart of every brand’s marketing strategy, but manually managing the process can be a significant hurdle. With content teams expected to quickly produce engaging pieces, finding ways to work faster without sacrificing quality has become more crucial than ever.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming the answer to this challenge. Marketing teams that use intelligent tools can distribute result-boosting content more efficiently.

The Importance of Implementing AI in Content Management

AI tools are leading the way in helping marketers keep up with the growing demands of quality content.

AI-driven marketing has the power to change how businesses engage with their customers, offering unprecedented levels of value. However, while many companies use it to optimize their strategies, consumer sentiment around its use is more complicated than it seems. Therefore, understanding how people truly feel is crucial for brands looking to stay ahead.

How Generative AI Is Making Transformations in Marketing

Generative AI has quickly become a game changer for marketers, opening doors to new opportunities and enhancing how businesses execute campaigns. It has allowed marketers to create personalized content at scale while automating tasks that once took hours. 

Many people think customer relationship management (CRM) tools are primarily used by sales professionals. However, these products can also improve client experiences by giving personnel more insights into behaviors, preferences and pain points. Perception changes that position CRM software as a customer experience driver can help those in people-oriented roles get better results and become more productive. 

Sales content management systems (CMS) are crucial for organizing content assets and ensuring sales reps can engage prospective customers with the right content. Without a CMS, sales reps typically feel overwhelmed with the content they must choose during their sales process. Various types of content can stimulate information overload and sales content redundancy. However, a well-organized CMS will help a sales team stay prepared throughout the sales journey, ensuring productivity and efficiency.

With industries across the board becoming increasingly adept at using AI-driven Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude2 and Meta AI’s Llama2, it begs one obvious question: How do we make sure all of the content out there isn’t generated by AI?

Fortunately, being an “AI sleuth” is relatively easy thanks to some emerging smart SaaS tools. Such solutions will become crucial for those endeavoring to identify the use of AI in content creation, dealing with challenges related to false positives in AI content detection, discerning if AI material has yet been detected, and even if AI “distilled” content has been reconfigured to be more neutral in sentiment.

During the past seven days I've been upgrading our websites from Drupal 9 to Drupal 10. There are four of them which includes socPub, CMS Report, INFOTECH Pub, and After Work Pub. While one is never quite done with the work, we're quickly moving from the upgrade back to the maintenance phase of these website. As the dust settles down it will soon be time to start focusing on the content and presence of these websites.

At the risk of dating myself, I’ve been writing and posting articles online since the 1980s. Back then we didn’t have the Internet but we did have dial-up modems and bulletin board systems (BBS) hosted by computer enthusiasts. When the Internet, blogging, and self-hosted websites became popular in the late 1990's and early 2000’s I was also there. For awhile I hosted a website focused on content management systems that in its peak easily received over 100,000 unique visitors a month.

A call to action (CTA) on your website is more than a carefully chosen phrase. It’s also a mechanism for encouraging your visitors to convert. Here’s a closer look at why and how the kinds of CTAs you choose could impact your business outcomes. 

The Right Words Can Make Offers Seem More Appealing

Writing a compelling CTA means putting yourself in the position of your target visitors and understanding what words would most likely cause a favorable response and which ones might make them disinterested or even annoyed. 

If you ever feel like your attention span is getting shorter, rest assured: it’s not just you. Surrounded by a myriad of potential distractions vying for a spot among our crowded thoughts, it can feel near-impossible to separate the trivial from the pivotal and focus on just one thing at a time.
