Content Marketing & Seo ConsultantTj Creative Marketing Ltd - Seo & Content Marketing Jan 2017 - PresentHaslemere, SurreyCreative content marketing to turn prospects into customers. Combining copywriting, SEO and user psychology.I started TJ Creative back in 2017. This was after I was left cringing at the content being pushed out on websites for SEO. Agencies and freelancers (on Fiverr mostly) who were 'experts' were producing content for the sake of it when it came to SEO. Meaningless content in SEO is exactly that, meaningless. The only result you'll achieve doing SEO this way is losing all credibility for your website and brand.My main goal, whenever I work with any business, is to show them the value of content. Content marketing is not an expense, it's an investment. It offers a greater ROI than most other marketing that you're doing right now. If you've got a website with zero traffic, enquiries and sales, then you need to make a change. Content is a safe investment that will get you gains for the long term.My area of expertise sits with website content, SEO, copywriting, content design & UX (on websites and apps), and brand messaging. -
