Why hire Tamara?
(Excerpted from website)
Let my experience as a journalist and SEO writer make your publication's articles or website content connect with your audience and shine in search results. Now, more than ever, search engines are looking to rank relevant unique content. Search engine optimization needs to be done organically, with a fluidity that can't be forced or stuffed in as an afterthought.
My reporting skills will make the articles on your site more than just commonly regurgitated information. Expertly gathered facts, studies, interviews, news topics and more can be blended into authoritative, yet personable, content that will engage readers and keep them coming back for more.
Don't think this type of journalistic approach applies to your website? It just might. Some examples:
- Using location to establish an authoritative connection. Your business may be the type found in most cities, but your clientele face a set of problems unique to your area or demographic.
- Catering in South Carolina will highlight a different cuisine than California, as well as cooking methods.
- Real estate sold in New York will have considerations not needed in Idaho, and vice versa.
- I can use facts and studies pertaining to your type of business and your locale to show readers and customers that you or your site are an expert on information specifically geared towards their needs.
