If Your Content Won’t Rank, Don’t Publish It is Misguided
Not publishing because of content ranking is…horsesh*t! There’s a quote that floats around online marketing and content marketing circles like gospel: “If your content won’t rank, it shouldn’t get published.” It sounds bold. Decisive. Strategic, even. But the truth? It’s a narrow, outdated take that misunderstands how content actually
Do you want sites to link to your content (Backlinks)? Do you want better engagement from your audience?
Then stop wasting time on content that your audience won’t engage with. Focus on a value-first content strategy.
B2B Content Creation
Don't Hire Us!
Given the fabulous amount of Content Creation tools available, there is no reason to hire an agency like ours for basic content production. It would add unnecessary cost. Below we describe some of these tools and how you can leverage them for Content Creation.
Hire for Strategy & Fundamental Content
Instead of hiring an agency or consultant for basic content production, hire them (us) for Content Marketing strategy, audits, training, Content SEO, Content ideation, creation of anchor content like whitepapers, infographics, Pillar Pages, Buyer Guides, Thought Leadership content, Quizzes & Assessments, etc.
You can then use tools like Ai or writing services to create additional content that aligns with the strategy that we helped you create or refine.
Use Ai to Create Content
AI tools are no longer optional—they’re becoming a go-to resource for content creation. We actively encourage businesses to use them to support tasks like brainstorming topics, drafting outlines and refining messaging across formats. When given clear, well-structured prompts, these tools can save time and help maintain a steady flow of content.
That said, while Ai excels at producing grammatically correct text, it may lack emotional nuance, cultural, industry, political or social context. Human oversight and editing ensures the final product aligns with your quality controls and strategy and avoids ethical pitfalls like plagiarism.
The Case for Using Writing Services
There are a number of online writing services you can use to scale your basic content production. As long as you have your strategy, your Content SEO, your content briefs ready, these services can deliver a blog or article in a fair amount of time. Some even provide SEO optimized articles.
Our experience with these services?
- Like other service industries, many are really good, most are not.
- Many use Ai as a starting point (as you could also) and writers edit the drafts and final deliverable.
- To be effective, you must already know what you want and how to write it. These services will not develop your strategy, your content SEO, your competitive analysis. They create content based on what you tell them.
- As Ai gets better and as more businesses use proper Ai prompts and workflows, these writing services will eventually become redundant.
- Much like using Ai, you must always ensure you edit their output for proper structure, your brand voice, for plagiarism and for usefulness.
- These services will be less expensive than having an agency create the same basic content. However, you will still need a layer of verification.
Our recommendation:
-Wish to produce fundamental content? Use a content marketing agency, consultant or internal expert.
-Know exactly what you want based on an existing strategy and want scale? Use the writing services if you want a human touch.
-If you use these services and evaluate the quality of their content, you will determine that you can almost replicate their output using Ai. As such, we recommend focusing your efforts on Ai instead and hiring editors and strategists to oversee the process.
-Would you like someone to oversee the entire process, from strategy to content SEO to content output and align everything to your audience’s intent, brand voice, etc? Then, have your internal resources provide this service or hire a content marketing agency or consultant.
Do it yourself
Our goal, if you hire us to work together, is not to provide our services in perpetuity. Instead, it is for you to develop the knowledge and skills to execute an effective B2B Content Marketing strategy with your own resources.
Once you understand the fundamentals and put a framework in place, the combination of internal strategy, knowledge and resources along with the ability of Ai tools will enable your team to execute at scale with more confidence.
You can always hire a content marketing consultant or agency like ours to provide audits, a new perspective or refine a current strategy. However, the important part is that you will have developed the knowledge, skills and resources to execute internally.

FAQ
FAQ: B2B Content Creation
When reading about B2B Content Marketing Services, we often come across the statement “If it won’t rank, it doesn’t get built.” We believe this statement is rather dramatic and missing a significant point, frankly, it’s nonsense.
The goal of content is to get your audience to consume your content and engage with it. Creating content that only ranks on search engines is a limiting strategy. Meaning, how about all those contacts your company has in their email database? Creating content for your email marketing list is extremely valuable. This content may not rank, may be difficult to rank, but if of value, your audience will consume it, use it, and it will deliver more leads for you.
Content should be created based on the value it provides to your customers. There is content that helps with ranking and traffic and there is content that is only consumed by those in your mailing list or other private contact lists or on social networks like LinkedIN. As long as you focus on providing value across your buyer’s journey, you will be fine.
Where do we start?
There are 3 major reasons for bad content.
- It’s Google’s fault! That’s right. Google has put such an emphasis on content production, keywords, length of content, etc. Companies write 2000 word articles on topics that should take one paragraph. This has led to a massive amount of fluff content that is turning people off.
- Simply put, as great as Ai is, it’s a problem! It has brought a tidal wave of mediocre content. This has led to flimsy link bait and repetitive content.
- It’s marketers’ fault. Many companies and teams simply do not understand what content marketing truly is and how best to leverage it. Many erroneously believe that its simply about publishing blog posts or about their products/services. This leads to technical writing, or sales writing, or writing for search engines instead of writing for their audience. Making content not very relevant.
Despite advances in content strategy and understanding, the above 3 reasons have led to a serious lack of content quality, which all leads to poor traffic and engagement from potential buyers.
A reminder that about 96% of all content receives little to no traffic from search engines.
Content must provide value to your audience above all. Only then can their engagement turn into trust which turn into qualified leads.
We absolutely work with other marketing agencies. Marketing agencies and consulting firms that require a specialization in B2B Content Marketing ask us to work with them and their clients. Many marketing agencies do not focus on this specialization as deeply as we do. They are busy providing an entire range of other marketing services.
B2B Content Marketing comes in many forms. The goal of which is to provide value to your audience. This value will generate more authority and more trust, which will improve engagement and interest from your audience.
The skill is NOT only to focus on what type of content to provide, but rather, a combination of what is provided, why it’s provided, when is it provided and to whom is it provided.
Here are some examples of effective content pieces. As always, its the execution that counts.
