Info

Note on Priority 4: Content writers have a responsibility to their own work, but they also have a responsibility to the team’s work. If time allows, writers should offer to help other writers complete their workload. What each writer has time to take on in addition to their own work is up to the individual writer’s judgment.

A Note About the 2022 SEO Packages

Starting in September 2022, the LeadVenture Sales team will begin selling new 2022 SEO packages. The fulfillment process will largely stay the same in it’s setup. The distinct differences have been listed below. They are also articulated in other forms of documentation. All questions should be directed to the Content Team Lead.

  • All clients signed with the 2022 packages will be labeled with a “2022 [Package]” label.

  • The clients who sign up for the following packages will receive the following number of pieces each month:

    • Silver - 1

    • Gold - 2

    • No change for Platinum clients

  • Silver, Gold, and Platinum clients will receive content for their About Us, Parts, and Service pages when supplementary information is made available.

  • Gold and Platinum clients will receive content Local Pages, 2 and 4 respectively.

  • All content submissions will include a Title Tag and Meta Description, including Inventory Content.

Clients on the old packages will remain on the old packages until otherwise noted.
