Without one, you’re likely to spend a lot of time churning out content that doesn’t capture the attention of your audience or yield the results you want. The thing is, SEO strategy doesn’t stop at creating content. Instead, it’s an ongoing process that involves developing a strategy, generating content, and conducting SEO audits to evaluate content performance and how you stack up against the competition.

When it comes to what is, and isn’t, Account-Based Marketing (ABM) , there are as many opinions out there as there are ABM experts. The reality is that ABM (now ABX, in some circles) is ever-evolving and so what qualifies as ABM is a moving target. Also, does it matter? Well, it matters only because many B2B marketers who haven’t yet stepped foot in the ABM waters are under pressure, from management or sales or both, to do so.
