You should! Ongoing content is vital for being found and increasing your SEM goals. As an expert in an ASK the Experts column or Influencer / Authority with your own column, we send our readers directly to your website for more information. It is a win-win combination to gain real SEO value, more clicks to your own website content, and more clients coming to your website who already trust you.

If you do not have correlating content on your website, we offer an affordable integrated solution to creating follow-up content on your website to click thru to from our media website article. This creates a massive bump in SEO and client trust! 

We are compliant with Google in order to keep the integrity of our websites. We are not the option for you if you are looking for one time backlinks. We are creating long-term credible content with you as a useful source for our readers.  We are creating well researched and compelling content that is helpful to our readers which is more favorable than a single backlink to Google. Our focus is on providing a good resource for readers that leads them to your expertise. And because of that, our content will remain credible and valid and more SEO friendly short and long term.

We do not accept one-time guests post for backlink purposes. If you have an article that will be valuable to our readers and is approved as such by our senior editor, we may publish it. WE DO NOT ACCEPT PAID GUEST POSTS. Google is getting wise to the sites that are accepting payment for the single purpose of backlinks. The idea of google ranking a site higher for a backlink, is that they are being talked about or offering credible content that is published on a site other than their own. With googles new updates, backlinks for SEO only is not favorable.

As a Smart Sites Influencer, you become a legitimate voice in our community within your niche. You are building a real presence that can't be knocked down by the millions of pieces of AI blogs that are being produced and you will gain real backlinks that google favors as an expert in our community.

For our ASK the Experts Columns, we research the top questions asked in your niche in multiple platforms including Google, Reddit, Quora, and other social sites to determine the most popular topics and questions within your niche. You are welcome to suggest topics from questions you most get asked by potential clients.

Each provides Influencer opportunities to build your online voice and showcase your expertise.

ASK the Experts (& Locals) Columns are a collaboration of experts across the state in one column. We ask experts questions and share the answers in one article to give different advise and perspectives. Articles will include topics such as "What our Experts are saying about Luxury Real Estate in their region," and "ASK the Experts: What's Your Favorite Local Outdoors Activity? " This puts you in various local and niche content with other professionals to connect you with your target audience. As part of our ASK the Experts community, you gain value and save through shared costs. (Most Affordable)

Influencer Columns are your own column of articles on your business topic, ghost written for you. With an ongoing monthly column that is written in your voice showcasing your expertise, marketed and cross promoted for you, you become the recognized and trusted brand. For example, a Real estate agent can choose a local area, such as Orlando, and be the authority on Local Communities and top Orlando activities. 

Authority Columns take Influencer to a higher visibility and authoritative level with a weekly blog that showcases your knowledge, community connectivity, and creates brand authority within your niche.

Influencer Columns take the pressure off of you to come up with topics, find places to publish the article, make sure it is SEO optimized and can be found, and make sure it is promoted and seen by your target audience.

We are a media company with online information and magazine style websites. This is a long-term marketing plan that grows your online credibility and voice in your community. We are looking for businesses who want to legitimately grow their influence by being the source of information in their niche. This is not a guest post one and done plan and if that is what your are looking for, this is not for you.  We are creating influencers across communities. It requires a long-term commitment to growing your online presence, influence and credibility.

All content remains live for at least 5 years provided the links to your site remain valid. Even if you give up your spot as an expert, your previous answers will remain as part of the column content and will continue to rank and increase your SEO value.

Our influencer packages are for companies who are looking for a long-term approach to reaching their audience in a natural way where they can connect and bring their voice to the community.

As soon as the first article is published, you will start to gain both an SEO boost and build a credibility for your business. The process to get the first article published takes about 30-60 days depending on your responsiveness to the questions our editors ask.

After the first couple months are complete, we start to cross promote the column across our website, other partner sites, press release, social media and videos. This creates an exponential growing affect.

As the articles within your column increase, it becomes a column that people come to and connect with you. This takes longer and is a long-term strategy to build your influence and authority. As this is growing, each individual article will be getting the more immediate SEO benefits.

Your content from the first year will remain as part of the column articles on the topic or niche, so your backlinks and credibility will not go away. However, the idea of building more than just SEO and becoming a voice in our community as the expert in your niche, is a long-term approach and is best when you continue.

Your cost covers our writers and marketers who create content for your business. We offer multiple options from 1 column per month to daily content. By collaborating in an ASK the Experts column, the prices start as low as $325/month during our Introductory Promotions (a $1,200 value that includes research, content strategy and targeted promotions). We create a package that fits your budget and your goals that includes promoting your brand, marketing across multiple media, ongoing content and publication to keep you relevant and in front of your target market.
