Permanent vs. Scheduled Campaign

Website Media Posts are a part of AdvaCare Permanent Campaign, meaning that it runs on a schedule continuously regardless of what Main/Side Campaign is currently ongoing. However, it can also be used as a Marketing Channel for a scheduled Main/Side Campaign to complement the marketing plan for said campaign.

When scheduling the Yearly/Quarterly Scheduled Campaign, Campaign Specialist can fill in the dates and topics related to MC/SC in the Website Media schedule first, to fill up spots related to the Campaign. Additionally, Website Media Posts will also be a type of content to be shared via Email Marketing Newsletter and Social Media Posts from Permanent/Scheduled Campaigns, therefore the launch of this campaign channel must be coordinated ahead of time with the other two channels.

Type of Posts & Tags

Website Media Posts can be categorized into 4 types of posts:

  • Featured Content for Distributors
  • Blog Posts
  • SEO-focused Landing Pages
  • Campaign Landing Pagess

Following are the three types of posts with their key differences. Note that on the Media page, there are dozens of Post Tags that help readers to navigate to various topics of available articles. There are certain rules that apply to the Tags depending on the type of posts, which are also explained on the below tables.

Website Media Post Process

Time Planning and Responsible Persons:

Even though posts are scheduled for at least once monthly, the preparation for the list of Content Themes is to be made in advance. There will be at least 64 articles to be published yearly. Campaign Specialist must have the capability to produce a Website Media Post, with help of:

  • SEO/PPC Specialist for keyword research and SEO strategies
  • Content Specialist/Copywriter for writing and developing content
  • Design Specialist for preparing banners, images and infographics
  • IT Specialist for article publishing
  • Product Manager & RA Dept. Managerifneeded for in-depth topics related to products or documents/regulatory matters

However, most articles can be done with the help of the outsourced Copywriter’s involvement en masse ahead of time, with the topics and certain keywords provided by the Campaign Specialist. Planning of topics related to WMP for the year can be done on the Campaign Roadmap - WM Post Status Sheet.

I. Topic Selection:

  1. Open the yearly Campaign Roadmap - WM Post Status> Sheet. The location to this sheet must be updated under the Permanent Campaign: Website Media Posts task, Linked Elements section.
  2. Month & Week#strong>: Input the estimated publishing date (Month and Week#) for the next 3 months (1 Quarter).
  3. Scheduled MC: Add the Main Campaign Themes under the Scheduled MC column. Main Campaigns provide a basic idea of the broader topic to be covered during this period of time. For example, if the Quarter’s main campaign is related to Veterinary range, Campaign Specialist can then build the WMPs to focus more on Veterinary related articles.
  4. Reference: Start with assigning dates for when a:
    • MC Landing Page is to be published for a Main Campaign. This is because Landing Pages take the most time and resources to carry out, and will impact the Campaign schedule as a whole.
    • MC Featured Content article is to be published that is related to a Main Campaign. This is because Featured Content articles take the second most time and resources, and must make sense with the Campaign Schedule.
    • SC Landing Page/Featured Content is to be published for a Side Campaign scheduled. While most side campaigns do not require a Landing Page/Featured Content, if it is to be decided to have them, the schedule must also match the SC period.
    • Blog Posts can then be filled for the remaining time slots, considering firstly that the topics of the Trending KWs complements MC/SC.
    • SEO Landing Page is usually scheduled on a per project basis, and as the articles are hidden, the schedule of post publishing is not as relevant and can follow Sprint time availability.
  5. Before proceeding with the remaining columns of the sheet, Campaign Specialist may need to do an in-depth KW research process as this is the main building block of many of the WMPs. Based on the type of articles:

  6. The SOP on how to conduct Keyword Analysis and develop topics can be found here: SEO - Content & Keyword Research.

    NOTE: Make sure to save downloaded files from the Keyword research and save them in the Server, creating a sub-folder for the scheduled WMP here:

    Z:\Shared drives\AdvaCare Marketing Control\AdvaCare Digital Marketing\AC_Marketing_Website Media Posts
    • Distributor Featured Contents
    • Contain minimal SEO for SERP purposes, but must still ensure that keywords used for important sections (Title, H1, H2, meta tags) do contain KWs that actually are interesting and therefore have volume from our most targeted audience. Make sure to identify industry-related topics that align with the company's expertise, target audience's interests, and business goals.

    • SEO-Focused Landing Page:
    • A lot of keyword research and SEO strategies will be applicable here, particularly for B2B contents. The main importance of these landing pages is to ensure: Short, keyword-focused content is delivered, that is not overly patronizing or obviously click-baiting landing pages. For SEO-Focused Landing Pages, the keyword research and final long-tail keyword decision is to be handed over to SEO & PPC Specialist. Unlike the other types of Website Media Posts, SEO-Focused Landing Pages have a specific folder where all references, templates and contents are saved in:

      Z:\Shared drives\AdvaCare Marketiang Control\AdvaCare Digital Marketing\AC_Marketing_Website Media Posts\SEO-Focused Landing Pages

      SEO Specialist will prepare an analysis sheet by duplicating and following the template:

      Country pages - template + Data sheet - AdvaCare Pharma USA - 12/2023

    • Distributor Campaign Landing Page:
    • Minimum KW Research is required for this campaign. The focus of the WMP must be to ensure efficient information and CTA filled pages for distributors, and therefore more direct messaging is more important than SEO focused writing.

    • Blog Posts
    • Contains highly optimized KW and content, primarily for B2C contents, which will drive organic traffic from end consumers as well as our primary target audience. These posts must have SEO Strategies as the main baseline in developing the topic and content.

  7. After some research is done and KW analysis is carried out for posts that require it, Campaign Specialist can start filling in the:

    • Theme Topic: a short phrase describing what the post will be about. For example:
