Content Marketing for Service Businesses: What to Publish When You Are Too Busy to Blog
You do not need to become a publisher. Here is the lean content system RPM uses to turn everyday customer questions into rankings and trust.
By Ryan Pereyra, Founder & Agency Owner, RPM National
Answer the questions you already hear
Every question a customer asks on the phone is a piece of content waiting to be written. How much does it cost? How long does it take? Do I need a permit? What happens if I wait?
Answer each one clearly and honestly on your site, and you will rank for the exact searches your buyers make.
Show the work
Project spotlights with photos, the problem, the solution and the result are some of the most persuasive content a local business can publish. They also give Google fresh, specific proof of what you do and where.
Repurpose everything
One well-made project video can become a YouTube post, three social clips, a blog article, a Google Business Profile update and an email to past customers.
Create once, then distribute everywhere your customers already spend time.
Consistency beats volume
Two genuinely helpful pieces a month, every month, will outperform a burst of twenty posts followed by silence. Build a simple calendar you can actually sustain.
Ryan Pereyra’s take
Ryan Pereyra, founder of RPM National, suggests building a content calendar straight from the questions customers ask on the phone and at the job site.
If one customer asked it, hundreds more are searching for it.
