Your Amazing Teen, Content for Site Launch, 2018

Your Amazing Teen was one of my favorite projects as a content specialist for The Income Store, especially since I have a teenage daughter. The site partner originally proposed a site called “Parenting, It’s a Trap.” The site’s proposed sections and articles focused the on negative aspects of parenting teenagers, like teen pregnancy, rule-breaking, and drug use.

Our content director assigned this site to my team and then asked what I thought about it. With a bit of trepidation, as I was new, I told him the truth: That the name, sections, and subject matter came across as too negative. Parents want articles that address their concerns — and worst fears — in a way that’s positive, reassuring, and authoritative. Luckily for me, he agreed.

I came up with a list of possible site names that had matching domains readily available. I also went on SEMrush and AHrefs to identify high traffic search terms with low competition scores, check backlinks, and see which related content is the most popular. I then created outlines for subtopics with latent semantical indexing (LSI) words and secondary keywords for long-tail searches and assigned articles to our writing team. In addition, the editors and I worked with the writers to devise short, attention-grabbing titles that would encourage shares, comments, and click-throughs on social media.
