When you’re looking for something online, what’s the first thing you do? Research. It’s an important aspect of purchasing anything from an online market and I’m sure you’ll agree.

But content marketing does not make much sense without a strong blogging strategy. About 126% of businesses that blog enjoy a greater lead growth than small businesses that don’t blog. Apart from blogging, businesses must also keep a close eye on content distribution.
