You’re starting a new business. How can you make sure your online presence is strong?
You probably need to start by asking the question "how strong does my online presence need to be?" Many organisations don't need a strong online presence. I've seen multiple 6-figure businesses in digital industries with a "weak" online presence. If you sell a high-value, low-volume product or service, it's quite likely that you'll need to invest more time into things like relationships, outbound sales, networking, etc rather than spend tens of thousands on your website, SEO, PPC, etc. Worry less about "making sure your online presence is strong." Spend more time thinking about "where are my potential customers, what pains and needs do they have, and how can I show that my company best solves that."

What are the most common ways to attribute content marketing success?
As the great Avinash Kaushik once said: "First click attribution is akin to giving my first girlfriend 100% of the credit for me marrying my wife." First-click attribution isn't a complete waste of time, but in the majority of cases - especially complex B2B transactions - it should be far removed from the de facto attribution model. It should be used to look at how effective content is at getting people into your funnel - it's very rarely the thing that causes an actual purchase - so use with caution!

You're running a content marketing campaign. What's the best way to measure its success?
There is nothing more important than defining clear goals and objectives at the start of a content marketing project. Knowing whether your goals are revenue, leads, traffic awareness or something else will influence everything you do. Ensure as best you can it aligns with the business' objectives. If the goal of the business is to grow in a new market segment, the focus will probably be on new customers in that segment, so your content needs to align with that. Use a common framework like SMART goals to ensure you have a goal that is: Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Time-bound Ensure you regular report back on the progress to your goal and don't be afraid to adjust things as the situation changes.
