We’re a content marketing and SEO agency that ranks brands for high-buying intent keywords
that drive conversion, not just vanity metrics like traffic.
The problem with most online courses about content marketing is that they’re too theoretical. They teach high-level concepts, but they don’t teach you how to actually do content marketing to grow your own business (or one that you work for).
For example, many of the courses we analyze below teach you things such as:
Search engine traffic is “free” traffic that keeps coming without you doing anything (True).
You should write about things your audience cares about (True).
Content can build authority (True).
