No stack of case studies or conference road trips will do it, either. If you don’t have the obvious social chatter about your brand, you have to make the case that content creation will drive search, which drives traffic, which drives sales. But the job of arm twisting and education can’t come from outside.

I think that credibility plays a big role here; testimonials, case studies, ratings and rankings should be in the content mix. I can get people to discover, interact with and share my content all day, but all that proves is that I can push words, provide context and – maybe – that I have some authority.
